Community High School
School Behavior Management Plan
2014 - 2015
PURPOSE
Acceptable
behavior is a vital and necessary part of every student’s school life.
It requires the cooperation of parents, teachers, administrators, and
students. The help of parents and guardians is absolutely necessary in
overcoming behavior problems. We also believe that the development of
positive self-concept improves behavior.The rules that guide behavior at
Community High School (CHS) are designed to provide a safe school
climate, allow students to learn and give teachers the opportunity to
teach. Our discipline program includes school-wide and classroom rules
and expectations. The students and teachers will review the rules and
consequences.
GOAL/PHILOSOPHY
The
ultimate goal of Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) is to
help students develop self-discipline based on an understanding of how
certain behavior contributes to the efficiency of community and the
benefits that can be received.
The focus of PBIS is training through a proactive problem solving approach. Teachers seek to actively correct inappropriate behavior, rather than punishment. Everyone
should understand that mistakes are made and that they can be the basis
for learning. Three things must happen in order for this policy to
work.
✓...... First, that school staff will consistently maintain and fairly administer the discipline policy including behavioral consequences.
✓...... Second, each student must
understand that it is his/her obligation to learn and conform to the
rules for safe and productive behavior.
✓...... Third, parents must work
with the school to ensure that their child understands the expected
behavior and support the school in carrying out the consequences of
misbehavior.

RESTITUTION
Restitution
refers to the act or correcting a disciplinary infraction by restoring
that which has been harmed. Through restitution a student should be able
to restore a situation to its former condition or position. Teachers

infractions. Students who fail to complete assigned restitution will be
subject to additional disciplinary action.

of these items are potentially disruptive and are restricted to
non-instructional time. All electronic devices may not be used/seen
during instructional classroom time. The school is NOT responsible for
lost or stolen cell phones or other electronic devices. If students
bring these items to school, they should be kept in a secure place
during the school day. It is the owner’s responsibility to carry
insurance to protect from loss or theft.
Dress Code
The
United States Supreme Court (Tinker vs. Warren) has ruled that though
students retain the right of freedom of expression, schools may
establish dress codes to protect the learning environment. We expect
students to dress appropriately for school.

wear clothing that is sexually suggestive or that features crude or
vulgar messages, depicts drugs, tobacco, alcoholic beverages,
racial/ethnic clubs or gang affiliation in words or pictures.
