Discipline

Our school uses a proactive approach to discipline called Core Behavior Support.   Core Behavior Support focuses on creating and sustaining school-wide, classroom, and individual systems of support that improve the educational environment for all children by explicitly teaching behavioral expectations and then recognizing the positive behaviors shown by students.  Our STAR core values are being Safe, Teamwork, Act Responsibly and Show Respect..  Students are explicitly taught what it looks like to be Safe, Use Teamwork, Act Responsibly and Show Respect everywhere in our school.  Please see “Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS)” for more details.

• Students can receive disciplinary referrals for not following the Cabarrus County Schools - Student Code of Conduct.

• Minor referrals are used by the classroom teacher to document behavior  interventions used to engage students in learning.

• Major referrals are addressed by school administration and used when a student has not followed the CCS Student Code of Conduct and/or previous interventions have not been successful. 

• Parents will receive communication from HRES staff for major and minor referrals.
