We MUST work as a team to enforce the uniform policy. Please check uniforms during the first 5 minutes of each class. Scholars MUST be in uniform every day, in all classes. If a scholar is out of uniform, please send him/her, with a pass, to the ISS Room. Again, please do not allow scholars to sit in your class out of uniform. REMINDER: Have scholars unzip and unbutton jackets and sweaters to ensure they are wearing the correct uniform shirt. Shirts MUST have collars. Army green/brown bottoms are NOT a part of the uniform.

Cell phones, ear buds, and/or ear phones MUST be turned off and out of sight during instructional time (unless used for instructional purposes). We MUST "sweat the small stuff" consistently across the entire school.

Please use the Google Doc LVL 1 Form to document minor scholar behaviors, and scholars with attendance concerns. Send the LVL 1 form to all appropriate staff members. Remember, three LVL 1 referrals, that show interventions attempted, must be submitted prior to submitting a Google Doc Discipline Referral.
