School
Discipline |
|
The disciplinary philosophy
of Masters Preparatory supports the teacher's right
to teach and the student's right to learn. A behavior
which stops the teacher from teaching and/or any student
from learning will not be tolerated. We recognize that
maintaining effective discipline and safety on buses,
and at school-related activities is a shared responsibility
of parents, students, and school personnel. |
|
The assistance
of parents is needed in the following ways:
Teachers will provide students and/or parents with a
list of rules and consequences, both positive and negative,
which will be used in their classrooms. When a student
chooses to break the rules and is referred to the office,
disciplinary action will be taken according to the following
prescribed steps: |

Bus
Discipline |
|
Transportation is a
service provided to students by the school and as such
is regarded as an extension of school property. All
school rules and regulations are in effect on school
buses. Referrals for misbehavior on the bus can lead
to loss of bus privileges. For rule violation on the
bus, the pupil will enter the principal's bus ladder
at the appropriate step. In addition, school rules and
regulations as listed on the principal's school disciplinary
ladder will apply. |

Warning, referral sent to parents
Permanent denial of
transportation services

Detention |
|
Students remaining
at school after regular hours will do so only under
the supervision of a teacher. This practice will be
upon the request of the student for makeup or extra
work, or as a disciplinary measure as directed by the
teacher. In either case all rules, regulations, and
policies of the regular school day will be in force.
When students are to be kept after school, parents will
be notified by the teacher. Parents are responsible
for the transportation of students who have been assigned
detention. . |
