5. OSS Camp
Belton Middle School will be using OSS camp this year as an alternative to out of school suspension. We believe this will dramatically decrease the number of students suspended during the school year. The camp is designed to give students who get out of school suspension an opportunity to keep up with their academic work and earn their school trust and privileges back.
Each day in camp, the student will be required to do physical fitness exercises, academic work, and community service work. The student will be isolated from the student body. If a parent chooses to send their child to OSS camp, the following are the guidelines:
All sessions will be for 5 consecutive days.
Students will arrive and leave school like they would any other school day.
Students may not participate in any after-school activities during the first 3 days of OSS camp.
A dress code will be required.
Once a student successfully completes a session, all school privileges are reinstated.
Students may only attend OSS camp for 2 sessions during the year.
Any students not completing their session will assume their previous OSS days and lose privileges for the remainder of the school year.

6. Hold Each Other Accountable! We Are Family!
At Belton Middle School we believe that it takes more than two people to start a fight. There’s usually a few instigators and more often than not, there are numerous people that are aware that a fight is going to take place. If there is a fight at any point during the day, the entire grade level will lose recess for 3 days. It is our hope that this will encourage students to hold one another accountable and be more likely to report to an adult if they have knowledge of a possible fight. We hope this will be a proactive measure in keeping our students safe while they are at school and dramatically cut down on the number of fights.

Students will have the ability to earn 3 points each day in scholar time.

At the end of the week if the students have accumulated 13/15 points, the students will be allowed to go outside for a break. If they have not accumulated 13 points they will stay inside with another scholar time teacher.
