Behavior Responsibility
Behavoir and Discipline
Wills Primary is a positive learning environment where we keep minds and bodies active and try to leave little room for behavioral problems to arise. We expect students to accept responsibility for their behavior and understand that there are both positive and negative consequences resulting from both appropriate and inappropriate actions.
We do not, at any time, engage in administering corporal punishment at this school.
Students are rewarded or disciplined on a merit and demerit system. Merits are give for effort and appropriate behavior. Demerits are given for lack of effort and disruptive behavior.
Inappropriate behavior will result in the following steps being taken:
LEVEL 1: One demerit will result in a verbal warning.
LEVEL 2: Two demerits will result in a time out period in which the student, depending on class level, will be issued lines or an academic assignment to be completed during the detention period.
LEVEL 3: Students who acquire 3 consecutive demirits for inappropriate behavior such as insubordination, fighting or bullying, will be place on Disciplinary Probation.
Disciplinary Probation will be issued to students who persistently disobey or deliberately breal the rules. The probationary period will be issued as a warning to both students and parents. After this time, if there is no noticeable improvement in the student’s behavior, the student will be suspended for a period of time determined by the Principals.
LEVEL 4: Students will be IMMEDIATELY SUSPENDED for the following:
Use of profanity, vulgarity or inappropriate actions, conversations or behavior amongst or towards members of the staff or other students.
Any student caught with a cellular phone on his/her person will be immediately suspended in compliance with the Ministry of Education, Education Act.
