All students will have a zero-point total at the beginning of each trimester. Each minor infraction will result in the addition of points in the following manner: • 1 Points: given for unexcused lateness between 5 and 15 minutes to a class or required school event; dress code violations • 2 Points given for unexcused lateness of 15 minutes or more to a class or required school event A weekly report will be kept in the Dean of Students Office and communicated by the Form Deans. However, students are responsible for keeping track of their points and should regularly check their attendance record via their Sundial page. Restrictions: Restrictions are technology free study halls held during a student’s free blocks or during free time on the weekends as designated by the Dean of Students Office. There may be times that the Dean of Students Office alters when and where restrictions will occur. Students must come prepared to read or do homework without using a computer or phone. Students may not sleep during this time. An email will be sent to students on Thursday morning alerting them to this requirement. Only one (1) approved, rescheduled restriction will be allowed per term. Accumulation of Points The accumulation of four (4) points will likely result in the following: • The student will receive one weekend restriction. • The student and their advisor will meet with the student’s Form Dean. The accumulation of six (6) points will likely result in the following: • The student will attend a meeting with their advisor and a member of the Deans’ Office. • They will discuss restorative actions to help provide support for the student. • The student will receive a Letter of Concern about their behavior, which will be sent to parents/guardians and advisor. The accumulation of eight (8) points will be considered a major violation and will likely result in the following: • The student and their advisor will meet with the student’s Form Dean and Dean of Students. • The student will appear before the Upper Honor Board, which will determine the consequences of the student’s actions. If a student accrues a large number of points (16 or more) over the course of two or more terms, they may appear before the Upper Honor Board. If the pattern is egregious, a student can be in jeopardy of receiving notice of a Tier II offense: Actions Incompatible with the Goals and Standards of the School Community.
