Student Discipline

At Pleasant Knoll Middle School, we believe in maintaining a respectful, supportive, and safe learning environment for all of our students that promotes high expectations for student achievement and behavior. We believe in a school that provides productive and  mutually respectful relationships among staff and students. Disruptive behavior is unacceptable and will result in disciplinary action. At PKMS, rules are in place with the best interest of all of our students. PKMS students should be well-behaved and contributing members of our community that take pride in their school. Students, faculty, and staff have the right to feel safe, respected, and valued. To help maintain a positive learning environment, PKMS teachers and staff can enforce both classroom level consequences and administrative level consequences. Through these consequences, students are able to learn and grow. Students are encouraged to inform their teachers, counselors, or administrators of any situation which may cause harm to themselves or other students. 

To appeal a disciplinary decision, an email must be sent to the principal with the request within 48 hours.  Please include the following: 

• The name of the individual requesting the appeal

• The disciplinary decision being appealed and the date the disciplinary decision took place

• The basis for the appeal

After the written appeal is received, the principal can reduce, uphold, or increase the disciplinary consequence.
