) One (1) point for disrespectful behavior towards a substitute teacher c) One (1) point for every failing grade on the student’s report card d) Three (3) points for each Saturday Detention e) Six (6) points for in-school suspension f) Nine (9) points for out-of-school suspension from school g) Various amounts of points for other infractions of school rules If a student has accumulated 10 or more points, he/she can earn negative points and reduce the total points by not receiving a “Conduct Referral” or being in trouble in other ways. Each month of good behavior results in one negative point. Students may also reduce his/her total points by meeting with Ms. Lendis to develop and carry out a school-related community service project. For every five (5) hours of community service, one (1) point will be deducted from the total points. A student may earn a maximum of two (2) negative points per month. For instance, if 15 points are accumulated by January, it is still possible for you to go on the trip by not having any further “pink slips.” You would earn 3 points for good behavior during February, March and April, resulting in a total of 12 points. DISCIPLINE The behavior of students in a classroom and school relates directly to their academic performance. The classroom teachers handle basic problems with behavior. Teachers are encouraged to contact parents to help determine how to curtail inappropriate conduct. If the unacceptable behavior continues, the student will be referred to the administration for further action. Teachers document improper conduct for students in grades 5–8 by filling out a “Conduct Referral” form. This form is mailed home from the Principal or the Assistant Principal. The teacher may also assign an after school detention(s) to the student for the behavior. For students who demonstrate more chronic behavior problems, additional discipline actions may need to be initiated. These actions may include any or all of the following: A) Special Conferencing: Student and/or parent(s) meet with faculty and administration to resolve issues and plan a course of action. B) In-<strong>School</strong> Suspension: Student is removed from regular class setting and spends a period of time doing class work isolated from the rest of the student population. C) Saturday Detention: Student will be assigned to a Saturday detention at RVS from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. D) Out of <strong>School</strong> Suspension: Student is removed from the school setting for a period of time. Offenses at any grade level that result in injury to another student will be referred to the Principal’s Office immediately. The objective of our school discipline code is to curtail and prevent inappropriate behavior. This should be done in a partnership between the school and home. Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher(s) if you have any concerns about his/her behavior in school. If you are still concerned after discussing the problem with the teacher(s), contact the Principal or Assistant Principal to arrange a conference. In class - Students must follow the teacher’s rules and consequences. For serious and repetitive infractions, a conduct referral (pink slip) will be issued. Each pink slip will result in a phone call home by the teacher. Three pink slips may result in meetings with teachers/team and/or administration. Each pink slip equals one point which will affect the 8 th grade trip for 7 th /8 th grade students. Note: Repetitive referrals to the administration for any disciplinary reason may result in detention and/or Saturday detention. Severe infractions may result in an in- or out-of-school suspension and police notification as required by law. While there are consequences for infractions, students who behave appropriately will be rewarded with praise, positive reinforcements and a favorable school climate in which to learn and interact with peers and staff. “Falcon of the Month” and “Caught Doing Good” are two programs that encourage and reward responsible and desirable behavior. 31
