IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION (ISS)


Any student may be placed in ISS, a program designed to keep students working productively at school while being restricted under disciplinary measures. The ISS program is an alternative to out-of-school suspension. During the time in the ISS program room, a student is totally separated from the normal school setting. Re-entry into the regular school program is based on the personal performance and meeting the specific requirements of the ISS program.



USE/POSSESSION OF DRUGS

No student attending school or any school-sponsored activity shall be in possession of or under the influence of any compound or substance which can be taken orally, intravenously, or inhaled.



DETENTION PROGRAM

A detention program has been established for Petal High School students who misbehave or who violate the school district’s discipline or behavioral policies and procedures. If emergencies exist necessitating a possible change, the principal or assistant principal will make this decision. All detention shall be handled according to the following procedures:


1. The detention program shall be held Monday – Friday during the students assigned lunch period.

2. The school principal or assistant principal shall determine the amount and assign all detention.

3. All detention shall be served at the time assigned.

4. Absences due to personal illness, serious illness in the family, death in the family, or special permission obtained in advance from the principal, may be reassigned.

5. Failure to report to detention will result in ISS.

6. Students who cannot conduct themselves in a proper manner while serving detention will be re-assigned to detention or given ISS.



ELECTRONIC DEVICES/CELL PHONES

The use of cell phones not needed for classwork is prohibited during the school day. Whether or not the phone is needed for classwork is to be determined by the teacher. Any student that violates this policy will receive a discipline referral. The following consequences are the result of cell phone violations:


1st offense – 3 days detention.
2nd offense – 1 day of ISS .
3rd offense – 2 days of ISS.
4th offense- 1 day of OSS.
Laptop computers, tablets, e-readers may only be used in the classroom with permission from the teacher. Any student caught using or in possession of an electronic device (i.e. cell phone) during State Testing will have their test invalidated, which means they fail the test.

DISPLAY OF AFFECTION

Petal High has a definite “hands off” policy in regard to student relations. There will be absolutely no public display of affection at any time at school. Violation of the “hands off” policy will result in the students being subject to disciplinary action. No physical contact is allowed. This includes hand holding and hugging.



TOBACCO

The use or possession of any form of tobacco or paraphernalia is prohibited. This includes e-cigs or vapors.

1st offense - 3 days In School Suspension & Step 3 on the Discipline Ladder;

2nd offense - 4 days In School Suspension & Step 4 on the Discipline Ladder;

3rd offense - 5 days In School Suspension & Step 5 on the Discipline Ladder.

All offenses beyond the third will constitute defiance, and the student will be dealt with accordingly on the Discipline Ladder.



CHEATING


If a student is caught cheating, the student will receive a “0” for the work, the student’s parents will be notified by the teacher, the student will forfeit exemption privileges in that class.



HABITUALLY DISRUPTIVE STUDENTS





  1. The term “disruptive behavior” means conduct of a student that is so unruly, disruptive or abusive that it seriously interferes with teacher’s or administrator’s ability to communicate with the students in a classroom, with a student’s ability learn, or with the operation of a school or school-related activity, and which is not covered by other law related to violence or possession of weapons or controlled substances on school property, school vehicles or at school-related activities. Such behaviors include, but are not limited to: foul, profane, obscene, threatening, defiant or abusive language or action toward teachers or other school employees; defiance, ridicule or verbal attack of a teacher; and /or willful, deliberate and overt acts of disobedience of the directions of a teacher. The teacher has the right to remove any student from class. The principal or assistant principal shall determine whether a child meets the definition of “disruptive” or “habitually disruptive.”




  1. The term “habitually disruptive” refers to such actions of a student which cause disruption in a classroom on school property or vehicles or a school-related activity on more than two (2) occasions during a school year, and to disruptive behavior that was initiated, willful and overt on the part of the student and which required the attention of school personnel to deal with disruption. However, no student shall be considered to be habitually disruptive before the development and implementation of a behavior modification plan for the student in accordance with the code of student conduct and discipline plans of the school district.




  1. Any Student who is thirteen (13) years of age or older for whom a behavior modification plan is developed by the school principal, reporting teacher and student’s parent/legal guardian and the student does not comply with the plan shall be deemed habitually disruptive and subject to expulsion on the occurrence of the third act of disruptive behavior during a school year. A principal or central office administrator may request that a functional behavior assessment be conducted for a child who is thirteen (13) years of age or older prior to an expulsion.
