SCHOOL-WIDE DISCIPLINE PLAN
Weed Elementary School’s school-wide discipline policy supports each teacher's classroom plan and provides a safe and orderly environment within which students can study, learn and grow. We expect proper conduct from ALL students. If your child has any problems whatsoever, you or your child should contact a school staff member so that we may help. We appreciate the cooperation and support of parents during the often-difficult process of student discipline. A positive and effective home/school partnership helps bring about the best possible outcome for everyone involved. Every student deserves a quality educational experience, to feel safe at school and no student has the right to prevent a teacher from teaching or students from learning.
Weed Elementary School wants to insure:
· That the campus be a safe and pleasant environment for all its inhabitants
· That the classrooms (and other places of instruction) be regarded as the most important spaces in the school and the least likely to be interrupted or disturbed.
