One of the most important phases of a person’s educational development is that of learning proper behavior, cooperation, respect, and self-discipline. MS maintains firm, caring discipline that is positive in nature. This involves courtesy, respect, obedience, and safety. Students are expected to follow class and school rules willingly, to do assignments, and to maintain good study habits to the best of their ability. Without these characteristics, it is difficult for a person to maintain the proper attitude to develop intellectually. It is the school’s responsibility as part of the total educational process to assist the student in the development of self-discipline. In the process, sometimes it becomes necessary to impose penalties on students for inappropriate or abnormal behavior that interferes with the educational process. Improper behavior will initiate the following discipline procedures:

• Immediate time out.
• Recess time out.
• Loss of recess.
• Sent to the office (in school suspension).
• Call parents to pick up child (part-day suspension).
• Suspension for one day to one week (parent, teacher, and principal conference is required before re-entering class).
