DISCIPLINE POLICY

College Park Elementary takes pride in being a school that focuses on character education as well as academics. We focus on the positive behavior rather than the negative. The positive actions of students are rewarded and as a result we have a school that often serves as a model for others to follow.

From time to time, it becomes necessary to discipline children for misbehavior. All teachers are responsible for putting in place a classroom management procedure that will enhance the opportunity for learning to take place for all students.

LUNCH ROOM CONDUCT

We believe the following guidelines will help:

  1. Raise your hand if you need something.
  2. Talk softly to others at your table.
  3. Absolutely no talking when the lights are off.
  4. Follow dismissal directions.
  5. Always obey the lunchroom assistants.
  6. For health reasons, food may not be shared.
  7. Students who bring lunch from home are encouraged to bring a nutritious and filling meal. Our cafeteria does not provide candy or carbonated drinks for students and parents are asked not to include these items in their child’s lunchbox.
  8. Please pay for extra lunches, milk, or juice through the District's Online Meal Pay site. No money is accepted in the lunch line.

INTERVENTIONS

The following interventions will be used to correct student behavior:

  1. Verbal correction
  2. Private conference with student
  3. Change of seat
  4. Behavior contract
  5. Parent contact
  6. Refer to guidance
  7. Time out
  8. Conference with Dean

NOTE: Teachers are not limited to nor required to use all steps before writing a discipline referral.

REFERRAL TO DEAN’S OFFICE

A student’s failure to respond to the attempts by the teacher and parents to change or correct misconduct will result in a discipline referral being written and the student being sent to the Dean’s office. College Park Elementary will follow the Marion County Code of Student Conduct for Elementary Schools when a child is sent to the office for disciplinary reasons.

NO TOLERANCE BEHAVIORS

  1. Fighting
  2. Blatant disrespect
  3. Drugs, weapons, alcohol
  4. Willful disobedience/defiance
