Transcription

1 BRECKINRIDGE-FRANKLIN ELEMENTARY Comprehensive School Safety & Discipline Plan Every student at Breckinridge-Franklin Elementary School should have access to a safe, secure and orderly school that is conducive to learning (KRS ). All students have the right to freedom from verbal and/or physical abuse by school staff or other students. Punishments that are cruel and unusual, demeaning, degrading, humiliating, excessive, or unreasonable are prohibited. The use of obscene or abusive language by school staff or students is prohibited (JCPS Student Bill of Rights, No. 8). Students are responsible for following the code of conduct at all school functions and should conduct themselves in a way that does not interfere with the rights of other students to an education or with the school s ability to provide it (JCPS Code of Acceptable Behavior and Discipline). In addition to the code adopted by the JCBE, Breckinridge-Franklin Elementary School provides a list of school norms and in-school discipline measures/procedures that are consistent with the code. We also provide students with positive behavior reinforcements such as our Fantastic Frog program and other recognition events. The school norms, behavior plan, and procedures will be adopted by the SBDM Council and implemented by all staff. Finally, the academic expectations for all students are outlined below and are essential for success. School/Classroom Norms 1. Follow school/classroom norms in all areas 2. Show respect for everyone/everything 3. Keep all body parts and objects to yourself Academic Expectations 1. All students will give their best effort in completing assignments, homework, and assessments. 2. All students will come prepared to class and bring materials. 3. All students will follow behavior norms and use positive self-talk. 4. All students will write their names on papers.
