First violation:
The teacher will notify the student if his/her behavior is inappropriate and assign a disciplinary action, if necessary.

Second Violation:
There many be parent conference. When necessary, a teacher may assign disciplinary action in order to correct recurring classroom behavior problems. The assigning of detention during breaks or before and after school is one alternative for the teacher. The administration may assign up to 3 days" suspension.
