Please read the following written policies regarding disciplinary action for when the behavior becomes inappropriate:
We will make every attempt to redirect the child from their inappropriate behavior by talking to them about the behavior.
The child will be taken to the office for a cooling off period and to speak with the director.
A note to parent(s)/guardian(s) will be sent home making them aware of the inappropriate behavior.
If the negative behavior persists, a conference will be scheduled with parent(s)/guardian(s), teachers and a Director to unite insights and provide the best possible solution to the situation. Both parents and/or guardians must be present.
Immediate cancellation of enrollment will occur, if the child is a danger to herself/himself or others. The immediate disenrollment under the above condition(s) is at the complete discretion of the Director for maintaining the safety of all children under our care.
University Academy reserves the right to remove a child at any time due to our discretion.
