Disciplinary Actions

 

Poor behavior will result in the following actions being taken:

First offense: Verbal warning

Second offense: Written warning and a ten minute time-out

Third offense: Written warning, a call to your parents, time-out for the rest of class

Fourth offense: You are expelled

If a student chooses to break the rules four times, then they should not be here.

It is not fair to the rest of the students who want to learn.

 

Parents are permitted to watch class, but please do not try to teach or help your child during class. That is the instructor’s job. It is also very distracting to the rest of the students. Should the need arise during class; we are more than happy to ask for your help. We encourage you to come and watch so you can see your child’s progress.
