The students and staff at McMillin Elementary School believe that a safe and positive school environment is important to both a child’s learning in the classroom and to his/her growth as a citizen. In an effort to provide such an environment for our students an established set of behavioral guidelines is beneficial.
- Each person has the right to use and own property. Taking other people’s property, or causing damage to other people’s property is NOT permitted.
- Each person has the right to be different. The students and staff will respect the uniqueness of each individual.
- Each person has the right to an orderly environment. Children are expected to use good manners in the classroom and the lunch area. They are expected to be neat and pick up after themselves.
- Each person has the right to be safe and healthy.
- Hitting, kicking, punching, and other forms of physical abuse towards others are NOT permitted.
There may be instances in which some students have difficulty following the behavioral standards. In these cases, the following steps will be followed:
- The teacher will counsel the student.
- If the problem continues, the teacher will contact and work with the parents to solve the problem. If possible, the contact will be in the form of a conference.
- Should the above action fail to solve the problem, the Principal will become involved. The Principal will do one or more of the following:
- Counsel with the student.
- Notify the parents.
- Discipline or suspend the student.
If the student’s behavior is totally unacceptable, the process will go immediately to Step 3.
