Student Behavior

DISCIPLINE
Teachers have the authority and responsibility to maintain discipline in the classroom. School discipline policies, and individual classroom teacher policies, will be established and consistently enforced. When a student misbehaves, the teacher may: have a conference with the student and/or parent, use classroom disciplinary measures, or refer the situation to the Building Principal. Detention may be given to those students who misbehave. Students may serve detention either before or after school with parent permission. Students may be suspended from school for gross disobedience and misconduct.


DISCIPLINE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (STUDENT)
The Student Discipline Advisory Committee will meet annually and submit recommendation with respect to policy and administrative procedures on student discipline to the Board of Education. The committee must work in cooperation with the local law enforcement officers.


DRESS CODE
District 140's dress code states that the students should be dressed neatly and cleanly, and in no way should any article of clothing interfere with the safety of the student or the decorum of the classroom. Our building is air-conditioned and this should be taken into account when children are dressing, even if the weather is warm outside.


PERSONAL POSSESSIONS
Students should not bring skateboards, radios, baseball card collections, sports equipment, or other items of value to school. Keller School cannot assume responsibility for these items.


PLAYGROUND RULES
Students are to remain on the playground areas at all times during school recess. Games involving vigorous body contact are not allowed; i.e., tackle football, wrestling, play fighting, etc. Other dangerous activities such as skateboarding, rock and/or snowball throwing are not permitted. Misuse or destruction of playground equipment will not be tolerated. Students are supervised by teachers or supervisory aides while on the playground.
