STANDARD DISCIPLINE PROCEDURE
The procedures that staff should follow when handling a discipline
problem on site are outlined below. When a child is registered,
Parks & Recreation sends a brief statement regarding its
discipline policy to parents/guardians. It is as follows:
DISCIPLINE POLICY
Lincoln Parks & Recreation – Everett Community Learning
Center
| 1) |
First incident of continued
disruptive behavior |
|
|
| a.
|
When there is disruptive
behavior |
|
Warnings are issued and we encourage children to continue
their activity or have them take a time out,
and then resume their activity when the behavior is corrected. |
| |
|
| b. |
If disruptive behavior
continues after one time out |
|
The child is given a second time out
and then can resume the activity when the behavior is
corrected. |
| |
|
| c. |
If disruptive behavior
continues after two timeouts (or if the
child refuses to take a timeout) |
|
The child is suspended for the balance
of the day or for the following day. Parents may be called
and asked to come and pick up their child, or be informed
that their child is suspended for the remainder of the
day and that arrangements need to be made for the balance
of the day. |
| |
|
| 2) |
If there is a 2nd incident
of continued disruptive behavior |
|
A one day suspension will be imposed. |
| |
|
| 3) |
If there is a 3rd incident
of continued disruptive behavior |
|
A minimum of one week (5 program days)
suspension will be imposed. |
| |
|
| 4) |
If there is a 4th incident
of continued disruptive behavior |
|
A minimum of one week suspension will
be imposed. |
| |
|
| 5) |
If there is a 5th incident
of continued disruptive behavior |
|
Possible suspension for the remainder of the
program year. |
| |
|
NOTE: If there are continual or more severe
problems with a child, the CLC Site Supervisor may feel it
is necessary to move through the warning, time out and suspension
steps more quickly than outlined.
Incident Reports are used to document incidents regarding
the site and participants. Suspensions will always be documented
on an Incident Report. Keeping parents informed when behavior
problems begin with their child(ren) is key for the CLC staff.
Communicating problems early can often help reduce, or even
stop, the problems or behavior from escalating.
Be Safe - Be Responsible - Be Respectful
