To disciple
 Teacher will try to handle most minor infractions
within the classroom setting
 All attempts will be made to discipline without
removing the student from the instructional
environment
 Major infractions or continued minor ones will
result in whatever is necessary to keep all
students from having their learning disrupted
 We have a progressive discipline plan
 Our first goal is a productive learning
environment for all; our second goal is to help
YOU to build the proper behaviors in your
children

Our basic discipline plan has 4 levels
 Student behaviors are logged and accumulated in
teacherease (parents can view these logs)
 A child accumulating 3 or more infractions in a
week will lose Friday “Hang” time which is a
privilege; this is “LISS” – they will also be
marked as a level 1 on progression
 A reoccurrence of LISS or something more major
will result in a level 2
 A third reoccurrence of LISS or something more
major will result in level 3 and require a
conference with the parent
 Level 4 will result in recommendation for
suspension of after school detention

Parents may get more immediate calls depending
on the nature of the issue
 Some issues will call for immediate suspension
 Students are expected to respect all adults on
campus
 We will try to be patient with children, but your
children may not run the campus
 We also ask that if you come with issue, please
feel free, but do so respectfully
 HANG TIME supports positive environment of
cooperation
 There will also be other positive behavior
support tools put in place
