Behavior Expectations

It is important that our students understand what is expected of them while on campus. There will be on-going assemblies and classroom lessons to help the students realize the desired behavior here at Hamilton. We are committed to the philosophy, “teach what we expect.” Throughout, this year, students will receive training and instruction on issues such as; playground behavior, entering and exiting the buildings, lining up and walking in lines, arrival and dismissal procedures, cafeteria produces, and much more. All expectations are based on common rules to protect students and their property and to protect the right of those participating in the educational setting.

Behavior that is disruptive and/or defiant is not acceptable. All students will be expected to follow rules that are explained as per the Fresno Unified policy.  

Disciplinary Steps

1. Verbal Warning- unless student or others are in danger
2. Teacher/Student- conference with written documentation (classroom referral)
3. Parent Notification- Phone call, email or in person (method of contact arranged with teacher)
4. Office Referral- Supported with previous documentation

6. Should behaviors not improve- Student Success Team Meeting and/or Behavior Plan Level I.
