The purpose of discipline in a school setting is to provide the structure and safety to ensure students are able to focus and achieve/ Behaviors that interfere with this structure must be addressed. It is the belief of the Mott School Community that most problems can be addressed within the school. With this in mind, Mott School has initiated a process for helping students to behave in ways that will ensure a safe and productive environment for all students.

Each class will develop a set of rules. A classroom management plan will be implemented by each teacher and a reward system will be used to reinforce and encourage appropriate behavior. If necessary, parents will be involved in the process when a problem cannot be resolved entirely within the classroom setting.

 If a serious problem arises, e.g. behavior which causes injury to another person,, the district discipline policy will be followed.
