Discipline Office

  • DISCIPLINE POLICY

    Wyomina Park Elementary takes pride in being a school that focuses on character education as well as academics. We focus on the positive behavior rather than the negative. The positive actions of students are rewarded and as a result we have a school that often serves as a model for others to follow.

    From time to time it becomes necessary to discipline children for misbehavior. All teachers are responsible for putting in place a classroom management procedures that will enhance the opportunity for learning to take place for all students.

     

    LUNCH ROOM CONDUCT

    We believe the following guidelines will help:

    • Raise your hand if you need something.
    • Talk softly to others at your table.
    • Absolutely no talking when the lights are off.
    • Follow dismissal direction.
    • Always obey the lunchroom assistants.
    • For health reasons, food may not be shared.
    • Students who bring lunch from home are encouraged to bring a nutritious and filling meal. Our cafeteria does not provide candy or carbonated drinks for students and parents are asked not to include these items in their child’s lunchbox. 
    • Please pay for lunches, extra milk, or juice in the morning before classes begin. No money is accepted in the lunch line.

    REFERRAL TO DEAN’S OFFICE

    A student’s failure to respond to the attempts by the teacher and parents to change or correct misconduct will result in a discipline referral being written and the student sent to the Dean’s office. Wyomina Park Elementary will follow the Marion County Code of Student Conduct for Elementary Schools when a child is sent to the office for disciplinary reasons.
