Students who are removed from an assembly will be sent to a classroom and not permitted to attend the assembly.

A range of disciplinary actions may occur ranging from restitution, administrative conference, parent notification, suspension, a referral to appropriate agency, detentions and/or expulsion.

The School Committee is committed to providing a pleasant and safe environment in which children can grow and learn. To that end, they expect the students to properly care for and respect the grounds and property of the school department. Students will be held responsible for damage done to school property. Restitution for such damage will be determined as outlined below:

1. Students are responsible for the care of books assigned and/or loaned to them.  The responsible student based on the full replacement value will pay for lost or damaged books.
2. Other damaged or lost property will be replaced or repaired at the discretion of the Principal.
3. All unpaid bills remaining unpaid at the end of the year will be held at the school for one week.  The building principal will attempt to contact those owing money to the school during that time.  If the bill remains unpaid after one week’s time that bill will be turned over to the town office for collection under the provisions of Title 20-A Section 6807.  MSBA- JFCB
