 – Leaving a program without permission
 – Excluding other participants
 – Teasing, making fun, or bullying of other participants or staff
 – Stealing or damaging property
 – Using equipment and materials inappropriately and/or without permission
 – Endangering the health and safety of students and/or staff
 – Threatening other participants or staff
 – Pushing, shoving, hitting, kicking, other participants or staff
 – Using of illicit drugs, alcohol, or tobacco or sexual conduct of any kind
 
The following actions will be taken if the above mentioned behaviors are observed:

Step 1:  Staff will issue a verbal warning and redirect the participant to a more appropriate behavior.
 
Step 2: Staff will remove the participant from the group to discuss the behavior.
 
Step 3: Staff will remove the participant from the group for and will discuss the behavior with the student. Notification will vary, depending on staffing, and might be done by phone, email, or in person.
 
The above steps are generally taken, in the order listed, over the course of a single session of the program. In cases of particularly malicious and/or problematic behavior, a step, or steps, might be skipped. If a participant gets to Step 3, he or she may return to the program for the next session only after discussion with the Director, but will be at Step 2 upon return. Participants who get to Step 3 more than once may be dismissed from the program, and might be barred from registering for future programs.
