Discipline Referral Process – Teacher Guidelines

At Bonita Vista High School, we strive to address student behavior through proactive and supportive measures before moving to a formal referral.

✅ Step 1: Document Tier 1 & Tier 2 Interventions in Jupiter Ed

Record specific actions you’ve taken to address the behavior:

• 📞 Parent/guardian contact – phone call home to discuss concerns

• 🪑 Seat change or adjustment to classroom environment

• 🤝 Private conversation with the student to review expectations

• 🔄 Restorative conversation or mediation

• 📅 Additional supports – tutoring, mentoring, or check-ins

⏳ Step 2: Allow Time for Interventions to Work

• Give the student a reasonable opportunity to respond to the strategies you’ve put in place. 

• If the behavior improves, continue reinforcing the positive change. 

• If there’s no improvement after a reasonable trial period, proceed to Step 3. 

📄 Step 3: Submit a Referral in Infinite Campus (IC) if Behavior Persists

When interventions do not resolve the issue:

• Clearly list the interventions attempted in the referral description.

• Attach or reference Jupiter Ed documentation.

• Include specific details of the incident (date, time, location, witnesses).

⚠ Important: If the incident is egregious (e.g., violence, threats, drug/alcohol possession, harassment, or other severe safety concerns), submit a referral in IC immediately without waiting for prior interventions.
