DISCIPLINE

In order to guarantee all students in our school a climate conducive to learning, NO student will be allowed to prevent a teacher from teaching or classmates from learning.

It is the professional belief of the staff and administration at Jennings Elementary School that our disciplinary plan will assist in providing a safe and positive environment for all students.  Please see the discipline insert in this handbook.

The following inappropriate behaviors are strictly prohibited on campus:

·        Fighting, instigating or encouraging fighting, threatening and/or hitting others

·        Disrespect for authority or other students

·        Sexual harassment, obscene or indecent behavior (pictures, gestures, language, or actions)

·        Knives, sharp objects, or anything constructed as a weapon

·        Acts of vandalism or theft

·        Unsafe behavior which could result in harm to oneself or others

·        Use of or possession of tobacco, narcotics (or look-a-like), or intoxicating substances

·        Operation of beepers, pagers, or similar electronic devices

Rules will be enforce through counseling, detention, loss of privileges, conference, suspension, corporal punishment and expulsion.

The administration also recognizes that good behavior and discipline of students are essential prerequisites to academic learning; therefore, the administration seeks to reinforce positive behavior through the utilization of the following strategies:

·        Positive compliments

·        Extended recess

·        Special recognition incentives
