The information provided shall include the types of misconduct for which a student is subject to suspension or expulsion from school or other forms of disciplinary action. The Board directs the administration to make all students aware of the student code of conduct and the fact that any violations of the student code of conduct are punishable. If a student violates the code of conduct, school personnel, students or parents should report the student to the appropriate principal or assistant principal. The administration cooperates in any prosecution pursuant to the criminal laws of the State of Ohio and local ordinances. Students’ basic constitutional rights to speak and express opinions, even if they are unpopular, will be respected. When misconduct occurs, each student will have due process rights as outlined in board policy 5611. The teacher is the key figure in school discipline. He or she is expected to make every effort to personally handle the usual problems of maintaining classroom discipline. When a disciplinary problem becomes acute enough to involve the school administrator, then the teacher should seek his/her assistance. Under these circumstances both the teacher and the administrator are expected to give the student his/ her due process rights. Levels of Offenses Acts of misconduct are categorized into the following four levels of offenses: Level I: Violation of general classroom, bus or school rules – Level I consists of minor offenses that generally occur in the classroom, on the bus or on school premises and can be corrected by the teacher, bus driver or school administrator. Level II: Conduct requiring administrative intervention – Level II consists of offenses that are more serious in nature or persistent or serious Level I misconduct. Level III: Suspension and/or removal to a disciplinary alternative placement (APP) program – Level III consists of offenses that significantly disrupt the educational process, school environment, and/or school-related activities, including bus transportation, or persistent or serious Level I or II misconduct. Level IV: Expulsion and/or removal to a disciplinary alternative placement program (APP) – Level IV consists of serious offenses which include willful or malicious acts that have the effect of materially and substantially disrupting the educational environment in the school, on the school bus or at school activities or Level I, II, or III infractions depending on the severity or persistence of the act.

Not doing your homework because you do not believe in homework is self-defeating behavior. It is your responsibility to find out what you have missed when you are absent. Take the TIPS FOR TAKING STANDARDIZED TESTS initiative to ask a classmate or teacher what you need to make up. You need to also know when it needs to be turned in. If you are absent for several days, make {1} Concentrate. Do not talk or distract others. arrangements to receive assignments while you are out. {2} Listen carefully to the directions. Ask questions if they are not clear. Have a place to study that works for you – one that is free from distractions. Be honest {3} Pace yourself.

Make sure you have everything you need before you begin to work. {4} Work through all of the questions in order. If you do not think you know an answer to a problem, skip it and come back to it when you have finished the test. Develop a schedule that you can follow. Be rested when you study.

Prioritize your homework so that you begin with the most important assignment first: {6} Eliminate any answers that are clearly wrong, and choose from the others.

Change answers only if you are sure they are wrong or you have a very strong feeling they are wrong. {9} Do not be afraid to guess at a question.
