Disciplinary Action Plan

Click here to review the Code of Conduct.

This Disciplinary Action Plan serves as a straightforward process for addressing behaviors beyond the scope of what our co-op can manage that require involvement from a parent or counselor. For example, fighting, foul language, and repeated misconduct, including hurtful social interactions (e.g., disrespect, gossiping, excluding others), and an unwillingness to participate and learn, without signs of remorse or progress. This is to maintain accountability and support our students, so they feel safe and supported in a positive learning environment.

First offense: Verbal warning/redirection of behavior and explanation of the expectations for class. The incident will be documented, and parents or guardians will be informed via email or in person at pick-up. 

Second offense: Verbal warning/redirection of behavior and explanation of the expectations for class. Parents will receive a written summary of the two incidents and must sign the form acknowledging the incidents and agreeing to the behavioral expectations of the co-op.

Third offense: If a student commits a third behavioral infraction, they will be suspended from the co-op for the remainder of the semester. Parents or guardians will be contacted immediately to pick up the student. Parents will receive written documentation of all incidents leading to the suspension or removal. The advisory board will review the case to determine if the student may return for future semesters.

Important Notes:

Zero-Tolerance Behaviors: Significant bullying or harmful actions will result in immediate suspension, bypassing the above process.

Minor missteps: Students may be asked to spend time at the reflection table to regroup and refocus on behaviors that don't warrant an official offense.
