Zero Tolerance Policy
• Zero Tolerance policy is not for the average student. It is only for those students who continue to refuse to follow the class rules and procedures of seventh grade
• At the end of each interim and grading period, there will be a general discussion of students by the 7th grade teachers. Should there be a continuing problem, that student may receive a detention for each future infraction of the rules.
• Progressive discipline, an administrative consequence will follow the zero tolerance procedure as detentions add up.
• Upon being put on progressive discipline, the student’s parents will be notified and a conference will be set up with applicable teachers and administration.
