Dexter Middle School
Sixth Grade Discipline Plan

At Dexter Middle School, creating an environment conducive to learning is a top priority for our faculty and staff.  We expect each student to exhibit proper behavior and abide by the established school rules.  

Our school rules are as follows:
1. Students will show respect for others and their possessions.
2. Students will follow directions the first time given.
3. Students will keep hands, feet, and other objects to themselves.
4. Students will stay in their seats and talk only with permission.
5. Students will not eat, drink, or chew gum in class.  
6. Students will not prevent the teacher from teaching or
other students from learning.

Rewards
Students who behave appropriately will be supported with praise, notes home, treats, and other privileges.

Homeroom conduct will be determined by the number of conduct marks in all classes combined for that nine weeks.  Therefore, it would be possible for a student to have an S in all subjects and a U for the overall homeroom conduct.  Homeroom conduct WILL affect your child’s placement on the Honor Roll.

Detention for the sixth grade will be held on Wednesday mornings from 7:00-7:45am.  Students MUST be on time.  Students arriving after 7:05am will be required to serve another detention.  Students missing detention will serve ISS.
