Discipline

A safe and disciplined learning environment is essential to a quality education program. District-wide standards are articulated in the Student Code of Conduct and are intended to help staff and students limit disruptions and maintain a safe and orderly school.

At Greeley-Evans Alternative Program, we have a behavior management that outlines Minor and Major discipline infractions. Minor behaviors are managed by all staff members and do not typically result in a major discipline referral. Major behaviors are more likely to impact the learning environment and will result in a major discipline referral that will be managed by school administratino.
