New Discipline Program
The Raise Responsibility System - This year at St. Gregory's we are using a 4 level social development program to help us discipline or teach our students how to succeed at school and in life. The levels are:
- Anarchy - is the absence of order and is characterized by chaos.
- Bullying or Bossing - which is characterized by bothering or bossing others and breaks our standards at school.
The above levels are not acceptable in school.
- Cooperation is when a person is considerate and complies with requests, but the motivation is external , either from peers or adults.
- Democracy - is our goal for all students. This level is characterized by self- discipline, initiative and displaying responsibility because it is the right thing to do. A person's motivation is internal , and this is the highest level on the social development continuum. By teaching students what it means to function in a democracy, we believe that we are supporting students in learning how to make good choices, as well as supporting the goals of our school, community and nation.
Level C and D are both acceptable at school.
The Diocesan Policy of Harassment is very clear: any form of criticism, teasing, hateful words, threats, physical attacks, grudges or angry outbursts towards students or teachers will result in suspension and dismissal from St. Gregory the Great School.
We urge every parent/guardian to review this code with their child. Harassment of any kind is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Students who continue to violate this Code of conduct will be removed from the classroom and St. Gregory the Great School.
