Letter to parents about discipline

The following is a letter to parents from the DIS staff about the rules and discipline procedure of the school:

Dear Parent,

We are happy your child enrolled in Durant Intermediate School this year. We are looking forward to a very productive year.

We believe that all of our students can behave appropriately in school. We will not allow any student to prevent a teacher from teaching or to keep other students from learning. In order to guarantee your child and all of our students an environment conducive to learning, the following Discipline Plan will be utilized.

Rules for a productive and positive learning environment

  1. Students will be on time to class and will follow directions.
  2. Students will bring all necessary materials.
  3. Students will stay in their seats and talk only with permission.
  4. Students will be courteous and respectful to others, keeping their hands, feet, and other objects to themselves.
  5. Students will move quietly in the halls, restrooms, and cafeteria.

The breaking of rules will result in the following consequences:

1st infraction

Letter sent to parent, telephone conference, or e-mail
3rd infraction
30-minute detention (3:10-3:40) in room 101

If you have any questions or if we may be of help in any way, please feel free to contact us at the school.

We are looking forward to working with you and your child.
