The demerit system is a way for the RMS staff to monitor student behavior. Throughout the course of a quarter, a child will earn demerits for:

• behavior

• chewing gum

• locker visits

• being tardy to class

• dress code

• not having earbuds

• not having an AR book

• Chromebook not being charged

Demerits accrued throughout each quarter will result in parent notification, detention(s), or in-school suspension based on the number of demerits the child has received for that quarter.

Each quarter, every student starts at zero demerits.

Detentions are served Monday - Friday (8:30 - 9:00am) or after school (3:20 - 3:50pm)

with the grade level team teachers.

Demerit System:

5 demerits = parent notification

10 demerits = 1 detention

15 demerits = 2 detentions

20 demerits = 2 detentions

25 demerits = 1/2 day In-School Suspension (ISS)

30+ demerits = Full day In-School Suspension (ISS)
