While grounds for disciplinary action are outlined in the DCPS policy, Roosevelt High School has the authority to transfer a student to his/her neighborhood school if the student is not meeting the expectations of the <strong>RHS</strong> community or fails to maintain eligibility for a DCPS special or city-wide program. Students must maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA to remain a student athlete of <strong>RHS</strong>. The instructional superintendent of cluster 9 will receive all recommendations for dismissal of any student who does not meet the academic criteria to remain a student of Roosevelt SHS. SCAR Team (Student Character & Refinement Team) The SCAR Teams (Deans/ ISS) functions as a support system for all staff and students 26
participating in the learning process. The fundamental purpose of the SCAR Team is to promote and sustain a positive and challenging learning community through discipline, character development, motivation and teaching students how to make wise day to day decisions. Our goal is to foster a socially transforming environment that inspires our children, empowers our teachers and encourages our parents to participate in the child’s learning process. The Dean’s office is not the first option for discipline. Teachers should hold students accountable for their actions before involving the Dean. Our Discipline Plan involves 3 fundamental components: to teach, to discipline and to inspire. • Teach – Dean’s will teach students the skills and habits necessary to succeed in a structured learning community • Discipline - Discipline will be used as a means to bring about change in the students philosophy and actions towards the learning community. • Inspire – Dean’s will consistently motivate students. Through motivation, students will develop positive habits and have a desire to participate and perform within and beyond the Roosevelt HS learning community. Behavior Ladder Each class will have a posted set of the school expectations and your classroom procedures. • Verbal/Non-Verbal Warning • Redirection (warning) • In Class Consequence • Teacher Conference • Send Referral (make parental contact) DC – CAP The DC College Access Program (DC-CAP) is an important and valuable resource made available to the students of DCPS and Roosevelt SHS. The program allows for students to gain further access to college scholarship and financial aid opportunities, along with assisting in test prep courses and sign-up. The DC-CAP office is only available to students before school, during their lunch, or after school. At no time should a student be in the DC-CAP office during class time unless they have signed up for a previously scheduled college presentation. Teachers should never send a student to the DC-CAP office for any reason during instructional time. Students who wish to access the DC-CAP office are required to follow these specific guidelines: • Sign up for an appointment during their lunch period. There will be a weekly appointment sign-in sheet in the front of the DC-CAP office. ONLY students with an appointment are permitted to be in the DC-CAP office at any point throughout the school day. • College presentations also require students to sign up prior to attending the session. Students who have not signed up will not be permitted to attend. 27
