Meeting House Hill School

 

2010 - 2011
K - 5

All students are expected to review the Elementary Conduct Code with their parents.  Because this is a K-5 document, please use your judgment in deciding which behaviors are age appropriate for your child.  The Safe Schools Pledge must be signed by the student and parent(s) and submitted to the school at the beginning of each school year.  The behaviors listed are not intended to be all-inclusive.  Parents and students should also refer to the appropriate school handbook for further information.  Students and parents are responsible to abide by the information therein.

Except in emergencies/extenuating circumstances, the teacher is the first person to administer discipline.  Discipline at this level should include, but not be limited to warning/parent notification/detention.  The administrator has the authority to use his/her sole discretion determining the level of consequence within the range of options listed.  He/she may need at times to exceed the range, depending upon the severity of the incident or frequency of offenses.

Decisions will be based upon the age of the offender, the nature and severity of the offense, and the impact on the school environment.  Exclusion of privileges is always an option.

If the parent cannot be reached when immediate parent notification is required for emergency or suspension, the person listed as designee on the Emergency Card will be notified.
