POLICY
UPDATE FOR 2007-08
(Grades
4 to 8)
DETENTION is used
both as a deterrent for inappropriate behavior as well as a
punishment for consistent violation of school rules.
Consistent DETENTIONS should not be
taken lightly by parents as they
are a reflection of the family’s commitment to the standards of Queen of Peace
Elementary School. Parents must make a concerned effort to impress on their
children the seriousness of violating rules at any and all levels!!
DETENTION is held on alternate Friday afternoons from
DETENTION notices are given to any student who has been late
3x’s; has been without Student ID; has been out of uniform 3x’s; or any other consistent
issue of misconduct as stated in our school handbook. The
classroom teacher may initially handle their own issues of misconduct
with a class detention or a suspension of some class privilege. School DETENTION is used as a last resort by all of our
classroom teachers.
DETENTION notices have three copies:
White Copy is for parents to
sign and return to school.
Pink Copy is for Miss Terri.
Yellow Copy is for the
classroom teacher.
Excessive
and consistent DETENTIONS for any reason or for any accumulation
of reasons are reflected on the
student’s report card under “Obeys School Rules”.
Remember
that all behavior is a choice---each
and every one of us must take the time to make good choices at all times and to
follow rules for a
safe and effective
learning environment for all
students!
