Classroom Discipline Policy

Discipline: Classroom Discipline requires two components: preventative discipline and corrective discipline.

Preventative: Each teacher will devise his or her own system of motivation on an individual and class level. This plan will consist of verbal praise, awards, privileges, treats, a trip to the principal, and/or class parties. The purpose is to encourage proper behavior in all students.

Corrective: It is our goal that the teacher, administration, and parents present a united front to the student in the spirit of helping the child. Since the teacher/administration works closely with the children during the class time when parents are not present, they will need to handle situations when a child displays inappropriate behavior. Though each teacher is an individual, the following will be given to the teachers by the administration as a structure. It is taken from the four

categories of individuals in the book of Proverbs.

The Plan

The wise: Thinking God’s Thoughts and acting God’s way We become wise by consistently making wise choices Acting as Jesus would act Thinking as Jesus would think Scripture: Proverbs 4:7, Luke 2:52, James 1:5, Psalm 51:6, Ecclesiastes 2:26

The simple: A follower … a very gullible person Is easily deceived by others Can’t see the trouble or consequences that are coming God’s Word will make this person wise and help him not to believe all he sees or hears Scripture: Proverbs 14:15, 13:20, 22:3, 9:25, 21:11, 9:4-6

The foolish: Doesn’t see anything wrong with what she is doing Enjoys getting into mischief…Must be corrected

Brings grief and sorrow to his parents Quick to quarrel…Quick tempered Does not flee temptation…She thinks what she is doing is right Scripture: Proverbs 10:23, 17:25 10:1, 19:13, 15:20, 29:11, 14:16

The scorner/mocker: Bad attitude, angry, disgusted Sometimes passive/aggressive in the use of body language Dislikes and does not listen to those who correct him Causes quarrels and strife Wants to solve problems herself, not God’s way Scripture: Proverbs 15:12, 13:1, 22:10, 24:9, 14:6

The Citizenship Grade will be lowered and Points issued if the student: Communicates without permission: talking, note passing, sign or body language, etc Touches others: persons, desks, or property, horseplay, pushing, etc. Displays a disrespectful attitude: gossiping, grumbling, murmuring, complaining or arguing, rolling of

the eyes, etc. Voluntarily disrupts the class Getting out of seat without permission for any reason. (student must raise hand for permission) Eats, drinks, or chews gum, candy or mints without direct permission from the teacher Comes to class without ALL their required or specified materials: no borrowing of materials after the

bell rings Comes to class late Violates other classroom policies put in place by the teacher Students who do not turn in homework, bell work or other assignments (including Long Term Projects,

Book Reports) will be issued points as well as having their Academic Grade lowered. Dress Code Violations – Each Dress Code Violation will equal three points Cell Phone and IPod Violation – Automatic Saturday School Detention for the first offense. Second

violation will result in a suspension from school.

Breaking any of the above rules will be handled by the Teacher and a Parent Notification Form may be issued. If a point is issued, a Parent Notification will be e-mailed. Each Parent Notification will be assigned a specific number of points depending on the violations. The Point system below will be followed:
