    If a student violates a school rule outside of the classroom, the yard duty or noon aide will give him/her a “Yellow Card.”  The yellow card will be sent to the homeroom teacher who will then assign an appropriate consequence.

    For repeated or more serious infractions, students will be given a “Red Card” and will receive detention. Parents will be notified a day in advance of the detention dates.  Students in grades 1-3 will be given a “clean slate” at the beginning of each trimester.  Violations for upper grade students will continue to accrue throughout the school year.  All students receive a “clean slate” at the beginning of each academic year.
