Discipline

DISCIPLINE

It is necessary that children develop self-discipline in order to further their learning.  We ask that you discuss with your children the importance of and the need for good behavior and a good attitude while at school.  We will not tolerate fighting, disrespect toward others, obscene language, or destruction of school property.  Students who break the school rules will be dealt with according to the school and district policies.  Please refer to the Clark County School District publication, Behaving at School, and the school discipline plan.

The staff at Will Beckley Elementary School strives to create an environment throughout the school in which students feel secure, happy, and have maximum opportunities to learn.  To create this positive environment for our students, we use a school-wide positive management system based on courtesy, pride, respect, and responsibility.  We strive to MOTIVATE students to display these expected behaviors through positive reinforcement practices.

HARASSMENT

Harassment is any verbal, visual, or physical conduct which is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive that it adversely affects, or has the purpose or logical consequence of interfering with the student's educational program or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive school atmosphere.  Harassment, whether it is by students, staff, or third parties in the school community, is strictly prohibited, and will subject the perpetrator to disciplinary action.  Harassment, regardless of its basis, is prohibited.  Prohibited sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors and other verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature from students, peers, or any other person on school property or at a school sponsored event.  Harassment in any form against students by either a student or a district employee is grounds for severe disciplinary action.  For students, it may be the basis for suspension/expulsion in accordance with the existing disciplinary procedures.
