PBIS
School-wide PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Support) Strategies
Teachers are required to maintain classroom management plans and issue consequences for misbehavior based on these plans established and communicated with students at the beginning of the school year. By law, only school administrators can issue ISS (In-School Suspension), OSS (Out of School Suspension), or a Recommendation for Alternative School Placement. The Dillard Middle School administrative staff will follow the below Codes of Conduct for issuing consequences for six or more minor infractions (preparedness, running, calling out, noncompliance, etc. ) within a grading period and major infractions (including fights, vandalism, illegal activity, overt defiance, major disruption, etc.) Students receiving ten or more office referrals within a year will be considered for an alternative school placement.
