REFOCUS FORM
Responsibility Room
The purpose of the Responsibility Room is a space where students may be asked to go if their behavior has become too distracting in the classroom and a Refocus is not an appropriate option. It is a place for the student to regroup, reflect and finish their work in a quiet setting. A student will be sent to the office to have a conversation with Administration. If deemed appropriate, the Administrator will take the student to the Responsibility Room. When the student arrives, they will complete a form and the student will email their parent/guardian. This is an effort to hold the student accountable. Additional consequences may be given by Administration per the Student Code of Conduct.
Referral Process
•If students engage in behavior that is a violation of the code of conduct teachers will use a referral form. Some examples, wearing a hat, inappropriate language, being loud and disruptive in the hallway, etc…
Student Code of Conduct will be use to determine level of consequence
