Student Code of Conduct
A. |
School
Discipline |
|
The disciplinary philosophy
of Masters Preparatory supports the teacher's right to teach
and the student's right to learn. A behavior which stops the
teacher from teaching and/or any student from learning will
not be tolerated. We recognize that maintaining effective
discipline and safety on buses, and at school-related activities
is a shared responsibility of parents, students, and school
personnel. |
|
The assistance of parents
is needed in the following ways:
Teachers will provide students and/or parents with a list
of rules and consequences, both positive and negative, which
will be used in their classrooms. When a student chooses to
break the rules and is referred to the office, disciplinary
action will be taken according to the following prescribed
steps: |

B. |
Bus
Discipline |
|
Transportation is a service
provided to students by the school and as such is regarded
as an extension of school property. All school rules and regulations
are in effect on school buses. Referrals for misbehavior on
the bus can lead to loss of bus privileges. For rule violation
on the bus, the pupil will enter the principal's bus ladder
at the appropriate step. In addition, school rules and regulations
as listed on the principal's school disciplinary ladder will
apply. |

Warning, referral sent to parents
Permanent denial of

Detention |
|
Students remaining at school
after regular hours will do so only under the supervision
of a teacher. This practice will be upon the request of the
student for makeup or extra work, or as a disciplinary measure
as directed by the teacher. In either case all rules, regulations,
and policies of the regular school day will be in force. When
students are to be kept after school, parents will be notified
by the teacher. Parents are responsible for the transportation
of students who have been assigned detention. . |
