• 1st offence - 1 week suspension of technology privileges

• 2nd offence - 1 month suspension of technology privileges

• 3rd offence - indefinite (division contact)

Depending on the severity of the offence, or particular circumstances, PSSD reserves the right to remove technology privileges of any student at any time.  **Keep in mind that losing access to technology could have a significant impact on your ability to complete your courses.

Progressive Discipline Plan

Students not following the Code of Conduct may be subject to the following progressive discipline:

1. Student stays after school and meets with the principal.

2. Note home with parent signature.
