RALPH ASKINS SCHOOL RULES

So all teachers will be able to handle routine disciplinary problems uniformly, we have established a list of some conduct violations for which students will always be held accountable.


1. Unexcused absence
2. Being late to school, class, or activity
3. Being out of class without permission
4. Failing to bring in class assignments
5. Chewing gum inside the building
6. Running, pushing, or shoving in classrooms, halls, or on the way to the bus
7. Failing to sign in or to sign out when arriving late or when leaving before dismissal
8. Cheating or misrepresentation
9. Lack of cooperation with peers and school staff
10. Students under the age of eighteen (18) shall not possess personal communication devices while on school property or while attending a school-sponsored activity on or off school property. (Fayetteville City Board Policy 16)

Fighting will result in a very severe disciplinary action. The nature of punishment will be determined by the degree of involvement of each individual. The one who makes the initial physical contact shall be considered the one most responsible.

In cases involving more serious infractions of school rules and regulations, teachers have been instructed to bring those students to the Principal or Assistant Principal for disciplinary action.

 

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT

Corporal punishment may be used in a reasonable manner by the faculty in extreme cases of student misconduct. A witness will be present during the administering of corporal punishment.  A disciplinary form will be completed by the person administering the corporal punishment.

 

IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION AND AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION

Assignment is made by the administration.

Suspension and detention are used by the administration as a corrective measure in dealing with some cases of student misconduct. Much restriction is placed on the student and special rules are applied in these situations. The student is isolated from the regular school program and activities and is under strict supervision at all time.

All students will have assignments to cover the length of the suspension or detention. All students must report to the assigned area with materials with which to work (paper, pencil, textbooks, etc.) All students assigned will eat lunch in ISS.
