Students who do not follow the Code of Conduct may be subject to detention, suspension, or expulsion.

Please be aware that these are not the only instances where discipline may be administered; any disrespect, destructive act, or inappropriate behavior will be dealt with accordingly.

Detention: Students may be detained after school for repeated tardiness, unexcused absences, chronic failure to complete work and infractions of the Code of Conduct. Parental notifications will be given and acknowledged in writing prior to detention. Parents will need to make arrangements to pick up their children after detention.

Suspension: For a serious infraction of school regulations or the Code of Conduct, the Principal may temporarily suspend a student. The time of the suspension will become effective after the Principal has notified the parents/guardians by phone or mail. Suspension may be in school or out of school. In all cases, the student will be required to complete any class work missed. If a student has in-school suspension, the parents may be asked to pay a substitute teacher who will monitor the student throughout the day.

Expulsion: Expulsion is a severe punishment which is used as a last resort and after serious deliberations or when circumstances otherwise warrant.

In the event of an expulsion, the following procedure shall be used:

1. A time of suspension will first be imposed during which there will be private consultations of parents with Principal, guidance counselor and teachers.
2. The final decision concerning expulsion will rest with the principal. Before any such administrative decision, the Principal must consult with the Chair of Board of Members, appropriate local authorities, and the Office of Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Greensburg.
3. A written report of the expulsion will be submitted to the Board of Members and to the Office of Catholic Schools.
4. The parent/guardian may, within five (5) school days of the decision of the Principal to expel the student, appeal to the Chair of Board of Members whose decision will be final.

It is the policy of our school to notify the school to which the student transfers if a student is expelled, or withdraws from school, and is involved with any of the following infractions:

1. An act or offense involving weapons.
2. Sale or possession of controlled substances.
3. Willful infliction of injury to another person or act of violence committed on school property, or while in the custody of the school.
