Student Conduct and Consequences
Per our guiding principles, the Beacon Community is committed to treating all with dignity, respect, honesty, and integrity. If a student’s conduct goes against this guiding principle or our Honor Code, to the detriment of their own or their peers’ learning potential, they will be given the opportunity to reflect and learn from their mistakes through our disciplinary procedures. Beacon Academy uses the principles of progressive discipline to ensure the safety and well-being of all members of the community. Families/caregivers will be informed accordingly should their student require progressive discipline. In an effort to help the student learn from their actions and grow, these consequences range in strictness:
Verbal Warning
The student will have a meeting with their advisor, their teacher (if applicable), and will be given a verbal warning. The school will inform both the student and their parents/caregivers of the conduct that must change. If the offense is related to an academic assignment, the student will receive a zero on the assignment in question.
Written Warning
The student will have a meeting with their parents/caregivers, their advisor, their teacher (if applicable), and the Director of Studies, and will be given a written warning. The school will inform both the student and their parents/caregivers of the conduct that must change. If the offense is related to an academic assignment, the student will receive a zero on the assignment in question.
