Teacher/Classroom Managed
Teacher Classroom Managed
TEACHER/CLASSROOM MANAGED |
Behaviors which adversely affect a scholar’s educational progress. Classroom/Teacher Managed infractions should be handled by the classroom teacher and are not processed through a formal referral for disciplinary actions from administration. However, these infractions are documented by the teacher. Cases of multiple or chronic offenses may require administrative/guidance action (assistance) and referral for interventions. |
IMPORTANT TO KNOW Mandatory teacher/parent contact (phone call, text, email, letter/parent note, etc. with documentation in Educator's Handbook as minor infractions) is required for all Teacher managed Referrals. The 1st occurrence of an infraction (in each assigned class) requires the scholar to complete a Refocus/Reflection Form. Note: For middle and high school scholars, the reason(s) for the behavior may differ for each class. CCSMS EXPECTATION Three Teacher Managed Referrals, with occurrences on different days for the same infraction, will result in the 4th infraction being coded as a Level 1-271 Failure to Comply with Disciplinary Action beginning at the 1st Occurrence. |
