DISCIPLINE
The Refocus Program (Time to Teach) is:• A proactive not reactive approach to discipline• Prompt attention to the “little stuff” often prevents the
“big stuff”.• Students are given 1 verbal warning to correct their
behavior• If the behavior continues, the student is asked to leave
the room to fill out a refocus form which helps them reflect on the behavior and what their corrected behavior should be when they return to class.
DISCIPLINE
Progressive Discipline• Students are allowed one(1) refocus a day. If a second issue occurs the same day a student will be sent to ISI.
• Students are allowed only (2) refocuses a week. If a third issue happens during the same week students will be sent to ISI.
• Students will be given only six (6) refocuses per school year.
DISCIPLINE
The “Big Stuff”• After six (6) refocuses, students will be sent directly to ISI and
will follow the schools progressive disciplinary plan
3 time-outs to I.S.I. = 1 full day of I.S.I.
6 time-outs to I.S.I. = 2 full days of I.S.I.
9 time-outs to I.S.I. = 3 full days of I.S.I.
12 time-outs to I.S.I. = 1 day of Off Campus Suspension
