HAVRE CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HANDBOOK

VII. DISCIPLINE

It is the belief of the school’s administration that meaningful discipline is vital for the achievement of quality education and productive character development. At any function of the school whether on campus or not, the teacher has disciplinary authority. Discipline will be administered in a loving and Christ-like manner. Parent/Guardians are encouraged to work closely with the teacher, and will be consulted if serious problems develop. Recurring disciplinary problems will be reviewed by the school board and appropriate action will be taken. Expulsion is at the school board’s discretion; nevertheless, the principal, after consultation with the parents/guardians, may suspend a student from school for up to three days without specific board action. After expulsion, any request for readmission should be directed to the school board, which will meet with the parents/guardians and the student to determine if readmission would be appropriate.
