Dean of Students - Anthony Dickens
The Reflective Recognition Referral Process
The Alternative program at Northwood High School will become a reflective process for students where minimal time away from class will be the overall goal.
A referral to the Dean of Students by a teacher will be based on one of two basic conditions in the classroom:
1. Teacher referred Time-out (First thirty minutes of class time - student will return to class)
2. Disciplinary Referral (after a documented third incident or immediately- Severity clause)
The Reflective Response Referral procedure for teachers is a three-step process;
1st infraction - Student Conference
2nd infraction - Parent\guardian Conference
3rd infraction - Dean of Students Referral
On the third and all subsequent referrals, teacher will fill out a R.R. Referral Form and send student with referral to the Dean of Students (room 101). A follow-up conference with the Dean of Students is required from the teacher between the time that the teacher imposes an R.R. Referral and the very next class with the student.
There will also be a three-step process when a student is referred to the Dean of Students.
Once an R.R. Referral has been appropriately documented and implemented the following will occur:
1st infraction - Student Reflection and behavior contract (Frank Pledge). Student returns to class the next class.
2nd infraction - Parent contact and review of possible consequences for breaking contract.
One after-school Detention. A missed after school detention will result in a strike. Three missed after-school detentions will result in an administrative referral with a recommendation for suspension.
3rd infraction - Referral to Administration for more serious action.
