Do your own work. Do not cheat. Honesty is a Christian virtue to be displayed by all students. Students should not give or receive help on tests or homework unless the teacher has granted this privilege on a particular project. Each student’s record is to reflect his or her own individual effort. Cheating is a very serious offense, whether you give or receive information. Cheating and/or copying will result in a “0” for the work and a conference with the student’s parents. During a test, quiz or exam, it is the student’s responsibility to avoid every appearance of cheating. All books and papers must be out of sight and no talking is allowed. Do not steal. Stealing will be dealt with severely, including possible expulsion. Discipline Methods Discipline is God’s method of maturing each of us. A proper response to it results in our blessing; to ignore it is foolishness. As a Christian school, it is our task to provide the proper learning environment for students. It is the student’s responsibility to make a commitment to live within the rules and regulations that are necessary for all of us to function together each school day. The discipline strategy at Heritage is consistent from grade to grade. The goal of our discipline policy is to develop mature, Christian character in each of our students by ensuring that they take personal responsibility for their actions, by applying Biblical standards to evaluate right and wrong and by determining an appropriate plan for future action. Students who do not correct wrong behavior will experience consequences for their actions. Discipline Referral A Discipline Referral may be issued to students who violate classroom or school rules and policies. These referrals will state the misconduct involved, the method used to correct the behavior, and any further comments regarding the discipline procedure. This referral must be signed by the student’s parents and returned to school the following day. Dismissal from Class If a teacher finds it necessary to send a student from the classroom because of flagrant violation of classroom rules or disruptive behavior, the student is to report immediately to the Principal with a referral from the teacher. To be reinstated to class, the student must confer with the Principal and the teacher concerned. The student will not be readmitted to class until there is some evidence that improvement is forthcoming. Detentions Students may be served detention during lunch and/or recess by the classroom teacher as a disciplinary measure. Students may also be detained by the Principal for other reasons deemed appropriate.
