PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE AND CONSEQUENCES
FOR INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR
Progressive discipline is a whole school approach that utilizes a continuum of interventions, support and consequences that include opportunities
for reinforcing positive behaviour while helping students make good choices. While the focus is on a corrective and supportive approach, the
frequency, severity and type of behaviour will determine the consequence.
Mitigating and other factors will be taken into consideration prior to assigning a consequence. When inappropriate behaviour occurs, a range of
interventions, supports, and consequences that are developmentally appropriate, and include opportunities for students to learn from their
mistakes, will be used with a focus on improving behaviour.
Range of possible consequences include, but are not limited to, reminder, warning, discussion, time out, detention, remedial assignment, informal
and formal conference with administrator, teacher and student, parent involvement, restoration, loss of extra curricular privileges, restitution,
involvement of outside resources, suspension, expulsion, referral to police.
