13. Classroom Discipline Plan- Minor Behavior Issues (talking out, making noise, classroom disruption, walking around in the middle of class, not sitting in assigned seat)
Student receives a verbal warning to stop an inappropriate minor behavior.
If behavior continues, student’s name is written on the board under “Warning”.
If behavior still continues, student’s name is written on the board under “Silent Lunch” and student has been assigned to sit silently without electronics at the end of table 4 during the next lunch time.
If behavior continues, student’s name is written on the board under “Detention” and student will have to serve a school wide detention one Thursday before or after school.
Students who have chronic minor behavior issues resulting in multiple silent lunches will progress to automatic detentions after warnings. If behavior persists, the student will receive an office referral for continuing to disrupt the class.

14. Classroom Discipline Plan-Major Behavior Issues (profanity, preparing to fight, fighting, etc.).
Students who demonstrate major behavior issues in class will be addressed per the school wide behavior system.
Depending on the severity of the major behavior issue, the student will receive an automatic detention, an office referral, or have an administrator called to remove the student from the classroom and receive an office referral.
