School Report Cards
Report cards will be issued to the students three times per year. Report cards contain both academic and citizenship comments. Parents will have the opportunity to have a parent/teacher conference twice per year or upon request at any time.
Progress is reported using standards reflecting basic skills mastery. Using rubrics rather than letter or percentage grades gives more detailed information on actual student performance.
Discipline Procedures
DISCIPLINE IS A CLIMATE---NOT JUST A SET OF RULES
Summit’s philosophy supports an atmosphere in which students are encouraged to learn to control themselves and their actions. For students to succeed, they must believe that we care about them and have confidence in their ability to solve problems. They must also experience mutual respect. The stronger the relationship, the easier it is to resolve differences. Our discipline policy will be enforced in a calm and respectful manner using responsible thinking processes that can build that relationship. We encourage self-discipline through responsible thinking.
Playground, Classroom, Field Trips and Study Tour Rules
Respect all adults
Respect other students
Respect all school buildings and property
No
- Foul Language
- Chasing
- Roughhousing
- Shoving or pushing
- Throwing rocks or equipment
- Fighting
Refusal on the students’ part to cooperate with a staff member or participating adult will result in a report to their classroom teacher.
When a teacher sends a student to the School Office, a Discipline Referral will be completed. The Office will keep a Record of ALL Discipline Referrals and students will be required to complete Community Service depending on the number of Referrals they have received. After three referrals to the Office, students will be required to meet with Coach Jackson. He will determine if the student will have other privileges suspended. He may also refer the student to the Principal for a meeting that student and his or her parents.
Consequences
Referral to Principal’s Office will result in the following progression of actions:
Step 1-Written Statement: Teacher fills out a Discipline Referral Form that will be sent home to parents.
Step 2-Conflict Resolution: This process includes statement of the rules and consequences and/or hearing both sides in the case of a fight between students. Students may need a cooling-off period.
Step 3-Apology: Student must apologize for actions toward adult or other students who were offended by the students’ action.
Step 4-Community Service: Student must perform a work/job as restitution for having broken school rules.
Step 5-Suspension of Privileges: Principal may suspend recess privileges of students for one week on the second referral to the Principal’s Office.
Step 6-In-House Suspension: Student will be suspended from class for an entire day, remain on school grounds and perform a work/job all day in addition to losing recess privileges.
Step 7-Probation: Second in-house suspension will result in student being put on probationary status at school. Further discipline problems will result in a long term suspension.
A conference with the teacher and/or School Principal may be called at any step in the discipline process by parent or staff.
