Parents & Students

Level III : To Be Administered by a Building Administrator or Representative.

Suspensions from school or classes will fall into two categories: a suspension of three days or less, and a suspension for more than three days but not to exceed ten days. An informal hearing will be held with the student and the administration will attempt to notify parents/guardians before the student is suspended out of school. A copy of all disciplinary notices will be sent to the parent/guardian along with a suspension letter. The Superintendent of Schools will be informed of all out-of-school suspensions. The suspension of special education students will be in accordance with the rules and regulations of special education. Disciplinary consequences may require the student to complete counseling, perform community service or school service, or participate in other activities designed to help the student understand and compensate for the consequences of his or her actions. Financial obligations incurred under these situations are the responsibility of the student or his/her family.

MAKE-UP WORK DURING SUSPENSION

Students placed on in-school suspension or out-of-school suspension, short term or long-term, will be given their regular daily assignments, etc., by their teachers and will receive academic credit if their class work is made up by the time the student reports back to classes. It is the responsibility of the student to see that the completed assignments are turned in to his or her teachers and to make arrangements to take tests/quizzes or finish projects.

Every student will develop the skills to be an independent, cooperative, respectful citizen with a positive attitude.
