Discipline Policy & Sanctions

Teachers and staff will make every reasonable attempt to redirect students who exhibit behavior problems or disruptive behaviors in and outside the classroom. This will include conferencing with students, calling the parent/guardian, and implementing behavior modification strategies. If behavioral problems persist, or if a student has a discipline problem severe enough to warrant a referral to the office, a disciplinary referral will be filled out and sent to the Student Services Assistant Principal. This referral will include an explanation of the problem. In extreme cases where a student must be removed from class, security or administration will be involved and appropriate action will be taken. Parents will be informed of the disciplinary problems and the actions taken to correct the situation. For further information regarding disciplinary procedures, please refer to the Anchorage School District High School Student Handbook.
