Discipline Standards
TARDY TO CLASSI was tardy to class today. It does not matter how many minutes I was tardy, the fact is I was not in class, in my assigned seat and ready to work when the tardy bell rang. I know it is my responsibility to be prepared and take my education seriously. One way of showing this is to always be punctual to class. Arriving to class tardy, I missed some important information, but more importantly, I needlessly interrupted my learning by missing important information the teacher presented. I am expected to be on time to class and it is my responsibility to live up to this expectation. I will do my best to always arrive on time to class. LEAVING ONE’S SEAT, TALKING OR GOOFING AROUND My teacher reprimanded me because I was out of my seat without permission, talking needlessly, or acting foolishly. All of these behaviors show a disregard for class rules and procedures, interrupt the teacher and disturb my fellow students. I demonstrated disrespect toward my teacher and classmates; however, more importantly, I realize that I interrupted my learning by not remaining on task and not remaining focused. I am expected to be attentive and respectful at all times and it is my responsibility to live up to these expectations. I will refrain from foolish actions in my classroom in the future and do my best to behave with maturity and respect. NOT BRINGING MATERIALS I came to class today without my textbook and/or the necessary materials that I need to be successful in this class. I know it is my job as a student to organize all of my materials in a timely manner so that I can always arrive to class properly prepared. I must take my job as a student seriously. When I come to class without my textbook, notebook paper, pencils and pens I am ill-prepared for the day’s lesson, but more importantly I am interrupting my learning because I am unable to participate in the day’s activities. I am expected to be prepared for class and it is my responsibility to live up to this expectation. I will show respect for myself by being prepared for class with all that I am required to have. DAMAGING SCHOOL PROPERTY I defaced school property by writing graffiti on it, ripping or cutting it, sticking gum on it or taking it apart. I realize that defacing school property shows disrespect toward my parents, my teachers, my school, my fellow classmates and me. I further realize that because I defaced school property I must be reprimanded, sent to the office, and/or have a parent conference, all of which take time away from my learning. I am capable of acting in a mature manner at all times. I am expected to treat all school property with respect and it is my responsibility to live up to this expectation. |
