Consequences

Consequences for disciplinary infractions will be administered. The type of consequences will depend upon the severity or recurrence of the behavior.
Consequences could include: a time-out, the removal from school privileges such as recesses, assemblies or field trips, detentions, a parent conference, and/or in or out of school suspensions.

Pennsylvania State Law and school board policies prohibit students from possessing or using weapons or drugs on school property. These serious infractions will be handled according to the School District policy.

Good behavior will be acknowledged in the classroom and through various recognition programs throughout the school year.
