STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT

 

 

The Cameron Parish School Board realizes, as a public agency, the school shares the responsibility with parents to educate, guide, and when necessary, discipline children.  Fair and impartial discipline will help to ensure that a proper climate for learning will exist, and it will also help students develop the self-discipline that is required for learning.

 

The ultimate responsibility for student conduct rests with the student and his parent. It is also the daily responsibility of school personnel to see that no single person interferes with the total learning environment of other students.  As prescribed by law, every teacher is authorized to hold every pupil to a strict accountability for any disorderly conduct in school or on the playground of the school or on any street, road, or school bus going to or returning from school, and during intermissions or recesses.  It is the final responsibility of the principal/designee to maintain discipline at each school or any school function or school-sponsored activities.  Referrals to the Courts, Family in Need of Services (F.I.N.S.), etc. may be made when a student's behavior warrants such.

 

MINOR OFFENSES

 

When students commit minor offenses, the teacher should discipline the student according to their school discipline plan.  It is also required that the teacher contact, by phone or by sending home a note, the parents and inform them of the problems before referring the student to the principal. In addition, the teacher may decide to assign work that reteaches the behavioral expectations or provide a reflective activity to the student.

 

For minor offenses an administrator may counsel with the student; refer student to the guidance counselor, or mentor teacher.

 

The teacher shall refer students to an administrator when necessary, using the proper referral procedures.

 

Students shall respond to personnel using respectful terms ("Yes, Ma'am, Yes, Sir.")  Violations shall be considered a minor offense and disciplined accordingly.

 

GRADES PreK-5

 

School administrators may use their own discretion for grades PreK-5 any of the items under the Student Code of Conduct they feel appropriate.  However, serious offenses such as the following should be dealt with decisively and with firmness and may result in suspension or expulsion:

 

  1. Possession or use of weapons

  2. Act of assault and battery upon faculty, student, school personnel, or school official

  3. Possession or use of illegal drug and/or alcohol or drug paraphernalia

  4. Threatening school personnel/teacher, faculty, or school official

  5. Threatening another student

  6. Disrespect for authority

  7. Disobedience 

  8. Cursing faculty or school personnel

  9. Vandalism

  10. Extortion

  11. Inciting a riot

  12. Burglary of school property

  13. Sexual acts

  14. Rules' violations that endanger health and safety of others

 

GRADES 6 -12

 

The Student Code of Conduct includes but is not limited to the following offenses.  A student found in violation of the Student Code of Conduct shall be disciplined according to the disposition set forth for that offense.
