Being a good TEAMmate brings with it a commitment by all students to live up to a code of conduct that
promotes our shared values and state of emotional well-being. To support this, our school employs the
“Dean’s Points” system that assigns values to various infractions of the Citywide Standards of Discipline and
Intervention Measures (The Discipline Code) and other school policies.
The following indicates some of the most frequent infractions:
- Being in the hallways without proper pass
- Unexcused lateness to class
- Violation of the Dress Code Policy
- “N” in conduct on report card (per class)
- Confiscated cell phone or other electronic devices
- Confiscated cell phone or other electronic devices
- Engaging in verbally rude, disrespectful, or vulgar language and/or behavior
- Loitering or “fooling around” in hallways
- Touching another person and/or belongings without their permission
- “U” in conduct on report card (per class)
- Cutting a Class
- Cutting School
- Official removal from a class
- Inappropriate use of social media
- Potentially dangerous behavior (e.g. pushing, shoving, touching, horseplay, threat of violence, etc.)
- Damage to school property
- Academic dishonesty (cheating, copying, plagiarism, etc.)
**Note: Infractions of the Discipline Code or violations of school policy not listed above can also result in
immediate action at the discretion of the school administration.
Consequences and Next Steps
The following indicates the steps that will be taken when students reach different point totals:
- Removal from participation in or attendance at minor school activities (sporting events, clubs/teams, etc). If a student is not a member of any club, that will result in lunch detention.
- Parent conference to review student’s disciplinary record.
- Afterschool Detention
- Removal from participation in one major school activity, such as: (School Wide Celebrations, Grade Level Field Trips, S.O. Events)
When a student reaches 7 dean points, a parent conference held by the Dean, Restorative Discipline Lead or
Grade AP. During this conference, a collaborative action plan will be developed to promote continued
participation in the school community. The action plan can include, but is not limited to, the following
activities:
- Daily Progress Report
- At-Risk intervention
- Educational opportunity geared towards targeted behavior
- School Service project
- Peer Mediation
Students who complete their action plan will see a reduction in total dean’s points. The reduction in dean's
points will allow students to restore their status/role in the school community and open opportunities for them
to participate in school activities.
Additional Notes
- Students standing or admission in the National Junior Honor Society may be jeopardized by point
totals.
- Students who have been suspended may automatically be removed from any or all of the above
listed activities.
- Points can be amended on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the school administration.
- Point totals will not carry over from school year to school year.
