DISCIPLINE POLICY and HEARING PROCEDURES In the interest of maintaining discipline and order, which is viewed as essential for education, Isleta Elementary School has developed policies and procedures that allow for a safe and positive climate for all students. Parents of children attending Isleta Elementary School are reminded to contact the person in charge or principal to resolve issues/concerns pertaining to the child’s welfare. Parents are not to take investigations into their own hands, in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (25 , 42. 1-5). Isleta Elementary School is committed to promoting Responsible, Respectful, and Safe approaches to discipline. Specific behavioral expectations have been established and consequences for failing to meet these expectations have also been identified. Consequences will be used on a school wide basis to address any of these issues.

This report will be filed by the witnessing staff member or member that was notified by the student.
