A number of students have been careless with the behavior documents I distributed on the first day of class, so I have decided to post them here for the convenience of those students:

Inappropriate Behavior Shall Cause this:

1st Offense: Name on the board.  Write this paragraph immediately:

 "Thw ay I act in school shows everyone how I have been brought up. My behavior is a reflection of the manners my family has taught me. Therefore, I want to follow all school rules and behave properly, so that you and my classmates will know that I honor and respect my family, and value my family's faith in me."

 "Civility is important for all of us. Rules are made to help us all. I must try harder to remember that any time I break a rule, I am taking valuable educational time from my fellow students. I respect my firned; I want them to respect me. I can earn their respect by paying attention in class, by making relevant comments at appropriate times during discussion, by maintaining accurate information in my planner, and by helping others in a fair and honest way. In this way, I can be a positive force in my classroom and can improve learning for everyone."

4th Offense: Third check by your name on the board. The student shall report to class for
detention on the next school day, promptly at 8:45am.

5th Offense: Referral

 Failure to cooperate with any of these consequences shall result in parental
notification and an immediate jump to the next step in this plan.  Naturally, certain major
offenses, such as fighting, inappropriate language, and any other gross misconduct shall
result in an immediate referral.

SIDE TWO

Copy this completely on your own paper, and have it signed:

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
 Each student enrolled in Pinellas County Schools is expected to fulfill
the following responsibilities:
 

1. Each student has the responsibility to participate fully in the serious
business of  learning.  The student shall report to school and to all scheduled
classes regularly and on time, bring necessary school materials, remain in
class until excused, pay attention to instruction, complete assignments to the
best of the student's ability, and request help when needed.

2. Each student has the responsibility to avoid any behavior that is detrimental
to ones own or to other students' achievement of educational goals.  Every
student shall cooperate in maintaining order in the school and in the
classroom, take care of books and other instructional materials and school
property, and encourage a climate of learning.  Lost, damaged, or destroyed
instructional materials shall be paid for as prescribed by law and in
accordance with the procedures established by the superintendent.  Failure of
the student or his parent to pay for the amount assessed may result in no
further issuance of instructional materials to the student.

3. Each student has the responsibility to respect the knowledge and authority
of school personnel.  Each student shall follow reasonable directions, use
only acceptable and courteous language, avoid actions that show contempt,
and appeal decisions only through appropriate channels.

4. Each student has the responsibility to respect the rights and human dignity
of fellow students.  For example, students shall not engage in name-calling,
fighting, or deliberate attempts to embarrass, intimidate, or harm another
student.

The student copying this shall have his conduct grade appropriately lowered
on the next report card.
