Our Approach to Discipline

  • If you do something wrong (either by mistake, impulsively, or on purpose) it will be addressed in a way to help you learn from that behavior and change it:
        • Can include:
          • Conference with a teacher, Dean or Administrator
          • Documented in Genesis
          • A Reflection or Apology
          • Meeting with a counselor, focused on the what happened
  • If the behavior doesn’t change, or is more severe:
    • A formal detention(s): Lunch, Block, After School
    • Parent/Guardian phone call and/or meeting
    • Probation/Removal from programs/positions
    • Suspension of privileges (cell phone, trips, etc)
    • Suspension: ISS/OSS
    • Other measures
    • HIB
