Guidelines for Success 

Lewis and Clark’s Guidelines for Success:

Follow directions the first time.

Use equipment properly

Keep hands, feet, and other objects to yourself.

Use appropriate language

Treat others as you want to be treated.

 

Consequences:

Verbal warning and re-teaching

Yellow Card-Time Out

Red Card/Blue Slip (teacher and office)

Pink Slip  (principal, teacher, parents)

 

Students are encouraged to use a "Peace Table" to solve minor conflicts. Blue slips are issued to students as a warning and a communication system to teachers. For incidents that require a pink slip, documentation is taken, and parents are notified by the principal. A suitable consequence is issued based on the infraction and the student’s previous behavior. Students are expected to take every pink slip home, show it to their parents, and obtain a parent signature verifying that the slip has been seen. Each student starts a new day/week with a "fresh start".

 

Severe Clause:                      

This is reserved for major problems such as fist fighting, absolute and open defiance, or profanity towards an adult or other students. It also includes having any weapons at school, or significant and violent threats towards others. This results in an office referral and an immediate pink slip. Consequences listed on the pink slip will be assigned through the office and parents will be contacted immediately.

 

Under the guidelines set forth by the GFPS Student Handbook, if a student spontaneously threatens another adult or student (life threat), he/she will immediately be suspended for a minimum of 1 day depending on the nature of the behavior. Parents will be contacted immediately.

 

Under the guidelines set forth by GFPS District Student Handbook, a student must not engage in unwanted and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of sexual nature directed towards another student. A substantiated complaint against a student will result in appropriate disciplinary action according to the nature of the offense. Parents will be contacted immediately.
