Student Discipline

Remedial Discipline Plans
Administration may develop a plan for any student who causes a material and substantial disruption in the classroom, on school grounds, in school vehicles or at school activities or events. The goal of the remedial discipline plan shall be to address the student’s disruptive behavior and educational needs while keeping the child in school.

1) To develop the plan, the principal will arrange for a meeting with the student, the student’s parent/guardian and any members of the staff whom the principal believes should attend. 
2) The purpose of the meeting will be to address the reasons for the student’s disruptive behavior and to establish goals, objectives and timelines to modify such behavior. A written plan will be prepared which addresses the student’s disruptive behavior, educational needs and what steps are necessary to keep the child in school. The plan will include incentives for good behavior and consequences if the student violates the plan. 3) The plan may be written in the form of a contract which the student and the parent/guardian will sign and date. 4) The parent/guardian will be provided a copy of the remedial discipline plan and it will be placed in the student’s cumulative file. 


Habitually Disruptive Students 
A student may be declared “habitually disruptive” if three or more times during the course of the school year the student causes a material and substantial disruption on school grounds, in a school vehicle, or at a school activity or sanctioned event. 1) The principal will inform the district when a student causes a second material and substantial disruption. 2) The student and parent/guardian will be notified in writing of each disruption which counts toward declaring the student habitually disruptive. The student and parent/guardian will also be notified in writing and by telephone or other oral communication of the definition of “habitually disruptive student.” 3) A student who has been declared habitually disruptive shall be suspended and/or expelled in accordance with Board policy concerning student suspensions, expulsions and other disciplinary interventions.

TOBACCO PRODUCTS (Vaping)
Thompson Valley High School is a tobacco free/drug free environment. The Board of Education, Colorado state law and the Loveland city ordinance prohibit the use or possession of tobacco products of any kind by any individual in or on school property. Violators will be ticketed by the Loveland Police Department. Disciplinary action will also be taken by the school. 

BULLYING
Bullying is defined as the use of coercion to obtain control over another person or to be habitually cruel to another person. Bullying can occur through a written, verbal or electronically transmitted (cyberbullying) expression or by means of a physical act or gesture. Bullying is prohibited on district property, at district sanctioned activities and events, when students are being transported in any vehicle dispatched by the district or one of its schools, off school property when such conduct has a nexus to school, or any district curricular or non-curricular activity or event. Parents and students can access the policy on the Thompson School District Board of Education  website at https://www.tsd.org/family/guide/safety-and-security/bullying.
Any person found to have engaged in bullying, retaliation against anyone participating in an investigation of alleged bullying or any related disciplinary proceeding, or reporting bullying in bad faith as further defined in Board policy JICDE, will be subject to disciplinary action.
Students (or any other person, including the parents/guardians on behalf of a target of bullying) may report matters of bullying orally, or in writing, to any teacher, counselor, or member of the school administration. These procedures will provide that any person, including the student targeted by the alleged bullying or the student’s parents/guardians, may anonymously report acts of bullying or retaliation to teachers, counselors, and administrators.
