Discipline Policy
The School District of Philadelphia’s Code of Student Conduct drives Finletter’s discipline policy. This discipline policy aims to share appropriate behavior, develop self-control in students and teach them to take responsibility for their actions. In addition, our goal is to maintain a safe and orderly environment conducive to learning. Finletter will exercise zero tolerance for physical confrontations, bullying, or harassment.
Finletter focuses on reducing and preventing recurrences of inappropriate behaviors, teaching students to manage their behavior appropriately, and cultivating new behaviors necessary for learning. Parents will be involved at the onset of inappropriate behavior to ensure high standards of discipline. Please review the Student Code of Conduct with your child. Of particular concern is the possession of electronic devices, including but not excluded to cell phones, MPS players, hand-held electronic toys, etc. Click here to view the policy.
