Penalty Procedures:

1. Warning 

2. Conference/ Call Home

3. Referral 

               Certain offenses like defiance, endangering/ threatening others, and or being disruptive  can go straight to administration

            I prefer settling problems with students like adults rather than taking issues to outside arbitrators like parents or administration
