The Cooperative Discipline Model at Constable Neil Bruce Middle School outlines the agreed upon consequences for behaviours which are identified as MINOR, MAJOR and SERIOUS.
Minor Offences are dealt with in a variety of ways, including phone calls home, meetings with students, school staff and parents, detentions or community service in the school.
Major Offences can result in an In-School Suspension. The student is isolated from the rest of the student body and provided with class work to complete.
Serious Offences can result in at-home suspension. The parents are contacted and involved in supporting the school and their child in the process.
Smoking
It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to purchase cigarettes. This means that smoking and possession of related paraphernalia is not permitted by CNB Middle students anywhere within the school, on the school grounds or within sight of the school. Any student violating the smoking regulations may be suspended.
Out of Bounds and Closed Campus
Areas on campus that are not visible to supervision from the immediate building area are deemed out of bounds. All middle schools in SD#23 have a closed campus policy. Students are not to leave the school grounds at any time during the school day. Students who need to leave the campus at lunch time are required to have their parents or guardians contact the Administration, for prior approval. These students can be signed out for lunch by their parent. It is not an option for students to be given notes to go to the local store for lunch.
