Discipline at the Arts Magnet
2017-2018
At the Magnet School we will follow the King City Union School District's PBIS Philosophy, and take a positive, pro-active approach to student behavior and wellness. We hope that with all of our staff and students working together, the environment we create is not conducive to our students making poor choices; however, there will be times when a student requires consequences for certain actions, and it will be up to the classroom teacher to decide what is appropriate. Please use the following guidelines when implementing recess restriction or detention after school.
RECESS/LUNCH RESTRICTION
A teacher may restrict a student's recess/lunch recess time when he/she believes that this action is the most effective way to bring about improved behavior, subject to the following conditions: 1) The student shall be given adequate time to use the restroom and get a drink or eat lunch, as appropriate 2) The student shall remain under supervision during the period of restriction 3) Students should be given an assignment to complete (such as a reflection paper) during their restriction, and 4) the principal and the recess/lunch staff needs to be notified so that can make sure adequate supervision is provided.
DETENTION AFTER SCHOOL
If it is necessary to keep a child in grades K-2 after school, the teacher will inform the parents prior to the afternoon of the day the child will stay. Students in grades 3-5 may be detained up to 15 minutes without providing advanced notification to parents. According to state law, (ED Code 44807.5,2, C.C.R. Title 5, Sec.353) a child may be legally kept after school for 1 hour.
