Kindly note that to avoid disturbing ongoing classes, access to the EII Division has been diverted to the black gate next to the Intermediate Division.

1. II.Discipline

Jesus & Mary School students are expected to observe a decent composure that reflects their upbringing and JM “belonging” at all times and in all circumstances.

The conduct is graded over hundred on the Report Card. The student gets a full grade if he/she behaves well and follows the Division Rules. Any inappropriate behavior will be dealt with accordingly.

At the 1^st incident:

The student will be given an oral warning, and the matter will be discussed with her/him to help her/him understand the implications of her/his misbehavior and adjust her/his behavior with the concerned teacher or supervisor.

From the 2^nd incident onwards:

The teacher or supervisor will give the student a Disciplinary Slip, and one or more point(s) will be deducted depending on the nature of the misconduct.

(Please refer to Appendix B for the adopted Disciplinary Slip.)

• The three categories of offenses are:

1. Minor Misbehavior: Misbehaviors that are considered to be minor, unintentional, and non-disruptive.
2. Major Misbehavior: Misbehaviors that are disruptive, intentional, and relatively serious.
3. Serious Misbehavior: Misbehaviors that are serious, deliberate, and unworthy of a Jesus & Mary Student.

(Any repeated offense – though minor – will automatically be considered as deliberate and, thus, serious.)

• Disciplinary Slips may be issued by the Principal, Assistant Principal, teachers, or supervisors.

• Once a student is issued a Disciplinary Slip, s/he must leave the classroom; register the offense with her/his respective supervisor, then return to class. Teachers issuing Disciplinary Slips are requested to register the student’s name on the Daily Teaching Record.

• All disciplinary slips should be signed by the student, the teacher/supervisor, the Principal, and the student’s parents /guardians.

Deduction of points occurs as follows:

1. First Category-Minor Misbehavior:

Any Minor Misbehavior repeated three times will automatically be considered major.

2. Second Category-Major Misbehaviors:

For Major Misbehavior, five points are removed from the total amount of points and this needs the Principal’s approval.

3. Third Category-Serious Misbehavior:

Losing points will lead to the following measures:

*a warning letter means that the student’s behavior is becoming alarming and an improvement is requested to avoid suspension or expulsion.

The student can receive a Blooming Slip and gain points if s/he respects the Rules and Regulations during all the school hours and if her/his behavior towards the person offended has noticeably improved. (Please see Appendix C).

The Guidance and Counseling Department will be informed in case of serious and repetitive misbehaviors.

The School Rector reserves the right to overrule any or all of the above Rules and Regulations.
