DISCIPLINE/
POLICIES
SCHOOL DISCIPLINE POLICY
The disciplinary goal of DJNHS is for each student to
achieve the ability to govern themselves from within,
based on the example and model of a good law
abiding citizen.
As the student’s ability to govern themselves in this
way increases, there is less need for imposing rules and
regulations upon them.
Each student will be disciplined as needed
according to individual needs. A student must learn to
submit to authority. If a student learns to submit to
teachers, parents, and others in authority, then he will
learn to submit to God’s authority in his own life.
Each teacher is given the responsibility of enforcing
classroom and school rules. The teacher will maintain
order in the classroom by speaking to children about the
policy violation and deciding what consequences are
appropriate for the child and circumstance in
accordance to the discipline policy. The administrator will
be available to assist as needed.
Discipline and order are attained through a proper
balance of positive and negative consequences.
Teachers will use a variety of methods to promote good
behavior and aid in character training. The teacher will
use positive responses for appropriate behavior.
