Saint Katharine Drexel School - "CONTINUING THE MISSION" |
|
In striving to create a Christian environment, we as members of the
administration and faculty of St. Katharine Drexel School work hard to
ensure academic success in our classes. We also uphold a philosophy rooted
in Catholic values. Therefore, it is most important that the
responsibility policy reflect both of those factors on a daily basis.
The goal of the Responsibility Plan is to help students develop into
responsible and successful learners. Teachers are ultimately responsible
for helping students achieve this goal, and will make classroom rules and
guidelines to assist them. Teachers may also find it helpful to make
adaptations to the following program based on individual student/class
needs. The program is designed to reward responsible behaviors and help
correct areas needing improvement.
Each student receives a different Responsibility Card each month. It is
the student's responsibility to carry the card with them at all times. At
the end of the day the card will be collected by the homeroom teacher. If
the card is lost or forgotten, it is the student's responsibility, and
he/she will have to accept the consequences. Whenever a student shows a
lack of responsible behavior, it will be recorded on the card. (Note: A
more severe violation may result in more than one (1) mark. For example,
deliberate destruction of school property would be considered a severe
violation.)
Cheating (on homework, test, etc., includes changing or copying one or
more answers, etc.) is an automatic detention. Every missing assignment is a mark on the card.

Two marks on card - Assistant principal will give student a note to parents to be signed and returned the next day. If the note is not returned, the assistant principal will follow up with a phone call. Assistant Principal keeps track of these notes.
Four marks on card - student will serve an after-school detention the following Tuesday. The student will immediately leave the classroom upon receiving the fourth mark and show their card to the assistant principal at the office. The student notifies the parents by phone to inform them of the detention. A letter stating the detention date will be given to the student to take home that same day. A copy of the card is also sent home with the student. The letter must be signed by the parents and returned to school the following day.
Note: Detention will be held from 3:00 - 4:00 PM on Tuesdays. Teachers supervise detention on a rotating basis. The detention times are as follows:
• Gr. 2 & 3 - 30 minutes 3:00 - 3:30 • Gr. 4 & 5 45 minutes 3:00 - 3:45 • Gr. 6 - 8 60 minutes 3:00 - 4:00 PM

Not reporting for detention on the assigned date will result in an in school suspension. The student must still serve detention the following Tuesday. A detention may be rescheduled because of illness or previously scheduled medical appointments. Absolutely no exceptions will be made for athletic games or practices or extracurricular activities. Missed detentions because of illness/medical appointments must be made up the next week.
Misbehavior during detention will result in another detention. This misconduct detention will count as another detention on our records.
Any students receiving three detentions in one quarter will receive a one-day, in-school suspension from classes, consisting of some supervised schoolwork during the school day. This schoolwork is prepared by the student's teachers, and is supplementary to regular schoolwork. The student must complete all schoolwork assigned. Before leaving school, the student must report to the homeroom to get missed assignments, which will be due the next day. Work not completed on time will receive a failing grade and will count as a missing assignment.
Two suspensions in one quarter will result in the removal of the student from classes until a conference is held with the parents, administration, teacher, and possibly pastor. At this time, the student's behavior will be evaluated to determine a plan of action (i.e. either probation or permanent removal), and the student and parents will be required to sign a contract stating that another in-school suspension will be grounds for immediate expulsion.
Lost Cards: Students may request a replacement card is lost or if they damage their cards. The cost of a new card is 50¢. Any marks on the lost card will be placed on the replacement cards. The student will receive a mark (1) for "lost card".
A card with no marks for the month will serve as an admission ticket to a special reward held during school each month (examples: free soda at lunch; dress down; extra recess; ice cream, etc.).
