We believe that each one of us is responsible for his/her own behavior. A positive approach celebrating exemplary behaviors is favoured.

When an individual doesn't respect the code of conduct to the point where it is necessary to exclude them of group, we follow these progressive steps in order to help the individual find their own solution.

A student who has demonstrated acceptable behavior continuously for a reasonable period (up to three weeks depending on the age of the child) will descend the steps to discipline through a plan of action revolving around understanding, prevention and education.

Depending on the gravity of any given offense, and especially in cases involving violent behavior, the Principal reserves the right to go to higher steps on the discipline ladder immediately.

• 1st step: The child completes a thinking sheet to identify the unacceptable behavior, their response to the intervening authority and a plan of action in order to improve the situation. The plan must be approved and signed by the intervening party and by the child before the latter is allowed to reintegrate the group.

• 2^nd step: If there is recidivism, the child completes a second thinking sheet which must be signed by the parents.

• 3^rd step: Parents phoned. Thinking sheet signed by the parents, by the intervening party and by the child. In-school detention for at least an hour, including a recess or part of a lunch hour. The parents and the child have a conference with the Principal after assigned work has been completed in order to agree upon on a plan of action.

• 4^th step: Parents phoned. Thinking sheet signed by the parents, by the intervening party and by the child. In-school detention for half day, including a recess or all of a lunch hour. The parents and the child have a conference with the Principal after assigned work has been completed in order to agree upon on a plan of action.

• 5^th step: Parents phoned. Thinking sheet signed by the parents, by the intervening party and by the child. In-school detention for full day. After assigned work has been completed, the parents and the child have a conference with the Principal in order to agree upon a plan of action.

• 6^th step: Parents phoned. Thinking sheet signed by the parents, by the intervening party and by the child. Out of school suspension for one day. After assigned work has been completed, the parents and the child have a conference with the Principal in order to agree upon a plan of action.
• 7^th step: Parents phoned. Thinking sheet signed by the parents, by the intervening party and by the child. Out of school suspension for three days. After assigned work has been completed, the parents and the child have a conference with the Principal in order to agree upon a plan of action before the child is allowed back at school. Principal consults the Superintendent of schools.
