Palmer Trinity School

{ 42 } EXPULSION Students may be expelled for serious first offenses; repeat infractions (even if not related); conduct resulting in harm, damage, or disruption to the educational environment; parent or family member causing disruption to the School or the School's educational mission; non-payment of tuition or fees; not meeting academic requirements; or not meeting attendance requirements. Any matter taken under consideration by the Administration directly or considered serious enough by the Upper School Dean and Division Head to require the action of the Honor Council may be grounds for expulsion. Students who are expelled must leave campus immediately, unless the Dean or Division Head has granted an extension due to unusual circumstances. All School property must be returned to appropriate parties, lockers must be emptied, student ID and parking decals surrendered. An expelled student may not return to campus without specific permission from the Dean or Division Head. Students who are asked to withdraw or who are expelled from the School forfeit any undelivered class rings, yearbooks, graduation announcements, etc., and no monies are refunded. BEHAVIOR AL PROBATION A student may be placed on Behavioral Probation at any time during the course of the school year if he/she demonstrates a consistent inability to adhere to a rule or rules which govern the campus life of the School, as determined in the School's sole discretion. In the event that a student is placed on behavioral probation without suspension, a letter will be sent to the student's home detailing the cause and conditions of the probation, with copies forwarded to the Division Head and the student's Advisor. Behavioral Probation may prohibit the student from attending any travel or field trips, and the student may be deemed ineligible to participate in Athletics or other extra-curricular activities. Students on Behavioral Probation may lose other privileges, offices or membership of organizations and clubs including but not limited to Peer Counseling, Student Government Association and Honor societies. Students on Behavioral Probation may be denied a re-enrollment contract. Any student whose violation of the School's rules results in a suspension will automatically be placed on Behavioral Probation or Honor Probation. A student's behavioral status will be reviewed at the end of each semester and/or at the request of the Head of School. A student's behavioral record is cumulative, and although general guidelines as to consequences have been established, any repeated offenses will result in increased consequences, up to and including expulsion. SENIOR PRIVILEGES Seniors are recognized as the leaders of our school community. Underclassmen look to them for guidance and to set the tone for the School. Accordingly, seniors receive certain privileges not granted to any other class. At Palmer Trinity School, however, senior privileges are directly related to the level of responsibility assumed by an individual class. Every new senior class must petition the administration for its particular senior privileges. Students on Behavioral Probation are not eligible for senior privileges. Should seniors not demonstrate the appropriate responsibility, any or all privileges may be revoked. In order to be eligible for these privileges, seniors must: • Maintain a minimum 2.0 G.P.A. in all classes. • Meet requirements set in the School's attendance policy. • Be in good academic and behavioral standing.
