Classroom Discipline

It is the goal of Valley Christian Schools to provide an atmosphere in which optimum spiritual and academic growth and personal achievement can take place. Creating a loving culture of order and discipline is a partnership between our students, their families, and the school.

Discipline involves guiding, molding, encouraging, teaching, reproving, and correcting…all with the goal of bringing about the desired behavior. Students are expected and encouraged to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the stated policies of the school. Parents are expected to partner with the schools in all matters of discipline.

The Elementary School follows a disciplinary process referred to as Assertive Discipline which assumes the teacher is in the classroom to teach, and students are in the classroom to learn. The intention is to allow for a minimum of interruption of the class while providing corrective discipline to those students whose behavior is out of line.

First Offense: For first-time minor violations of the standards of conduct in the classroom, the teacher will write the student’s name on the board.
Second Offense: For a second minor violation, the teacher will put a check after the student’s name on the board. This check earns the student a ten-minute detention.
Third Offense: For a third minor violation, the teacher will put a second check after the student’s name on the board. This second check earns the student a total detention of twenty minutes.
Fourth Offense: For a fourth minor violation, the student is sent to the school office. The student earns a one hour after-school detention. The student’s parents will be notified of the detention prior to its occurrence.

Three detentions in any quarter will earn an additional one-hour after school detention.
Three one-hour after school detentions in a quarter will earn an in-house suspension.
Three suspensions in a school year could result in expulsion.

The First Grade and Kindergarten policy will vary slightly at the Administrators’ discretion.

Automatic office visit includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Disrespect or defiance
Stealing
Fighting
Lying
Swearing
Bringing inappropriate material or objects on campus
Cheating
Being in an unsupervised area
Abuse of school property
