Section 4: Behavioral Management Guidelines
Preschool – Grade 2 Behavioral Management Guidelines (scroll down for Grades 3-8)
A very important part of the early childhood education experience at Bishop McHugh School is helping children learn how to get along in the world, enjoy being with other children, and follow the direction of an adult other than their parents. A caring and positive approach will be taken regarding behavior management and discipline. The teachers will focus on the positive behaviors of the children and reinforce those behaviors as often as possible. Our goal is to help the children develop
self-control and responsibility for their actions.
Encouraging children to use their words when having a disagreement with another child.
Redirecting behavior when this seems potentially effective.
Separating a child from the group.
Counseling children individually about their behaviors.
Making parents aware of disciplinary concerns in the form of a written update.
Disruptive behavior distracts from the full benefit of the program and will result in consequences. The following behaviors are considered disruptive:
Inflicting physical or emotional harm on other children, adults, or self
Disrespecting people and materials provided in the program
Consistently disobeying the rules of the classroom
Verbally threatening other students and/or staff
Disruptive behavior will be addressed in a verbal and/or written update. This will document any inappropriate behaviors that directly impact other children, staff members, or the group as a whole. This report will explain the behavior and how the behavior has affected others. It will also explain how the situation was resolved.
If a child has difficulty managing his/her behavior on a recurring basis, parents will be asked to meet with the child’s teacher and principal. If the child’s behavior continues to be inappropriate, consistently disruptive, and/or dangerous, it may be necessary for the child to be sent home for a time to be determined, or removed from the program altogether.
GRADE 3 THROUGH GRADE 8
Consistent with our school philosophy, the discipline guidelines of Bishop McHugh School are based on our commitment to instilling the Catholic Christian values of respect and fairness to all, and our desire to provide an environment to maximize learning for each student. Therefore, behavioral management guidelines have been developed for when behavioral choices infringe upon the pursuit of these goals.
Bishop McHugh School imposes various disciplinary consequences. This section of the handbook lists some of the actions that may result in disciplinary consequences and the types of consequences typically imposed. The principal reserves the right to determine the seriousness of any infraction and to determine the appropriate course of action. The principal has the authority to impose different or additional penalties and to impose penalties for offenses that are not listed specifically in this handbook, when the principal concludes that the conduct or behavior is harmful to the good order and discipline of the school, its religious mission, or its educational objectives.
Minor infractions include, but are not limited to, socializing at inappropriate times during class, being unprepared for class, and/or failure to fully meet uniform standards, which will result in an oral warning. Continued occurrence will result in loss of privilege and parental notification.
Detention also may be used as an initial recourse. The teacher may issue a detention for behavioral infractions including, but not limited to, non-adherence to class rules, being dishonest, or for showing disrespect to a teacher, staff member or peer. Parents will be notified orally and/or in writing if their child receives a detention. A student who receives detention may be prohibited from participating in extracurricular activities on the day of the detention.
If two detentions are received in a school year and/or if there are frequent behavioral infractions, a serious concern, or for other good reason, the student and the student’s parents may be required to participate in a conference with teachers and administration. In this meeting, a written agreement may be required with recommendations developed and agreed upon in order to prevent a repeat situation.
Any student receiving three detentions or exhibiting behavior that creates a safety or health hazard will be immediately suspended. If a suspension is received, appropriate re-admittance procedures must be followed (i.e., follow-up conference with administration).
If there is reason to believe that a student poses a possible threat to self or others, the student may be excluded from school immediately, pending professional evaluation and assurance that the student does not pose a threat to self or others. Re-admittance may be conditioned on appropriate follow-up, such as counseling, and is at the discretion of the administration.
If a student is suspected of being in possession of or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the student may be excluded from school immediately. A drug test or other professional medical evaluation may be required. Re-admittance may be conditioned on appropriate follow-up, such as counseling, and is at the discretion of the administration.
Serious Disciplinary Matters:
The following behaviors are completely inconsistent with the goals of a caring community. They constitute breaches of discipline that will, depending upon the degree of offense, result in serious consequences up to and including suspension or expulsion:
Any form of academic plagiarism
Physical violence
Physical or verbal intimidation
Harassment
Vandalism or theft
Failure to conform to dress code after repeated warnings
Inappropriate or disrespectful language
Bullying
Leaving the classroom or school building without permission
Failure to return to class in a timely manner
Receipt of school bus referral(s)
Flagrant rudeness or insubordination
Distributing or sharing inappropriate pictures or written materials
Behaviors that may result in immediate expulsion include, but are not limited to:
Possession, use, or distribution of tobacco, drugs, cigarettes or alcohol
Possession of weapons
Violence resulting in physical injury
Repeated or continuing minor infractions may also result in expulsion.
Consequences, up to and including suspension or expulsion, may be imposed due to:
The principal reserves the right to determine the seriousness of the offense, if necessary, in consultation with the Board of Pastors.
EXCEPTIONS TO DISCIPLINE POLICIES MAY BE MADE ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PRINCIPAL.
Section 5: Technology Agreement
GUIDELINES FOR INTERNET & ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS (FOR STUDENTS)
The Internet has become a global and ubiquitous reality. It offers access to a wealth of knowledge, which can be extremely beneficial to students. The Internet can also be dangerous. Because the Internet offers the opportunity for anonymity, there is the possibility for cyber bullying and other harmful acts and for sexual predators to have access to minors.
It is important for students to maintain appropriate boundaries with respect to other students and the adults in the school. This is for the protection of both students and adults. The Internet and other electronic communications pose unique challenges in this regard.
Computer use, including use of non-school equipment and use outside of the school, can have harmful effects on students and the school community. Any person who makes inappropriate use of the Internet, cell phones, or other means of electronic communications that is harmful to the good order and discipline of the school, its religious mission or its educational objectives, is subject to disciplinary action.
This document establishes guidelines for the appropriate use of the Internet, electronic mail, and telephone for students.
Acceptable protocol includes the following:
- If a student must correspond with school personnel by e-mail, only school matters or matters appropriate to be discussed in school should be communicated.
- Students should remember to write as if others are certain to read what is written. E-mail communication can easily be shared with others for whom the communication was not intended.
Unacceptable activities include but are not limited to the following:
- Bullying or harassing another student, parent, teacher, administrator, school employee or other member of the school community.
- Posting statements, pictures, or other materials that are false, derogatory, defamatory, degrading, malicious, disrespectful, or threatening to another student, parent, teacher, administrator, school employee or other member of the school community.
- Using the school seal (logo) or motto without written permission of the principal.
- Creating a website, webpage, account, blog or the like designed to look like it was created by or belongs to another student, a teacher, administrator, school employee or other member of the school community without the express written consent of that individual.
- Creating a website or webpage designed to look like an official school posting.
