SUSPENSION

The principal shall have the authority to suspend any student who violates any of the school rules, whether in transit to or from school, or during the school day or school related activities. A student is subject to suspension for one to three days for class disruption, cheating, lying, rudeness, disobedience, refusal to do assignments, minor fighting, throwing objects that could cause injury, temper tantrums, or any other improper behavior. The parents will be called to take the child home and informed of the reason for the suspension. It is expected that the parents will take appropriate measures in support of the school. The child will be given school materials to do minimum class work missed. The parent is responsible for its completion and return. Upon return to school, the child must apologize and promise that he/she will improve their behavior. Upon their infraction, a conference will be set up with the child’s parents, teacher, and principal. The school will set up a mandatory 3-4 week plan for the child which all will sign. The parents and school will each have a copy of the plan. The plan will contain the consequences if the child does not make sufficient improvement. A student will be suspended or expelled immediately for violent or dangerous behavior or action toward any adult or student at MS. This will also result from extreme rudeness or disobedience, extreme disruption in class or on the playground, destruction or theft of school, or personal property, continuous disregard for school or class rules, profanity, or vulgarity, or any other gross behavior. A student will also be suspended or expelled for gross continuing negligence of schoolwork and homework. Parents will be called to come for a conference to implement suspension or expulsion. Once expelled, a student may not enroll at MS. Parents will be called to pick up their child, or will be notified that the child has been suspended, the cause, and for how long.

DISMISSAL

A student will be removed from a classroom to a designated authority when the teacher judges that the student is interfering with the teaching-learning situation for the majority of the class. Also, the teacher may request that the student not be returned to the classroom until a conference is held between the teacher and the designated authority.
