Discipline

GENERAL INFORMATION

Discipline Policy is based on compliance with DoDEA Regulation 2051.1. This regulation, Department of Defense Education Activity Disciplinary Rules and Procedures, is available in the principal’s office.

Discipline will be maintained at a high level which will result in:

• maximum growth of the student in self-control;
• high regard for fellow members of the student body;
• pride in the school as a part of the community.

Serious or repeated school misbehavior is related to the military responsibility of ensuring proper conduct of dependents in the command. Principals have an obligation to keep responsible military authorities informed of serious or repeated misbehavior when it is apparent such actions contribute adversely to the enhancement of the American reputation and position overseas. Principals additionally have a responsibility to coordinate with responsible military authorities when military requests for information relating to the above problems are received.

The teacher is responsible for maintaining a classroom environment which best fosters the development of positive, self-directed behavior. Each teacher has and enforces a classroom management plan that has been approved by the administration. Students will be given a copy of this plan within the first week of school. Plans are designed to encourage appropriate behavior and to involve parents in the disciplinary process for routine matters. When preventive measures, including teacher-student conference and parental notification, have been unsuccessful and inappropriate behavior persists, teachers will refer the student to the administration for appropriate action.
