Policies

CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE

School discipline and student conduct will be maintained through application of the School Board approved STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE CODE, and the District Discipline Matrix. Please take time to review these items with your children. It is important that you take the time to discuss and explain any questions they might have regarding rules and expectations pertaining to their school life.

Most students know what good conduct is and how to attain it. It simply means behaving as a young lady or gentleman at all times. Students who are able to follow school rules and regulations will enjoy school and will be considered good school citizens. Cooper City Elementary promotes character education through its Lifelong Social Skills Program.

Students are under the supervision of several teachers during the day. Each will have his/her own requirements and students should learn these and abide by them. The teacher may handle minor disciplinary problems with private conferences, corrective assignments, make-up work, home phone calls, etc. For excessive violations, the student will receive a referral to the Support Team or Administration.

RESPECT FOR SCHOOL PROPERTY

Much of the spirit and reputation of a school is reflected by its appearance. Cooper City Elementary has always had the reputation for being a clean school. We would like to maintain that reputation. This takes effort. Every student needs to do their part by making sure their wrappers and waste papers are deposited in the trash containers provided. Vandalism will not be tolerated. Respect for school property is expected at all times.

THINGS TO BE LEFT AT HOME

All pets, playthings, large sums of money, beepers, electronic games, head phones, CD’s and other items not school related are not permitted unless requested by the child’s teacher for a classroom activity. Cell phones are permitted but must be turned off and stored out of sight.

TELEPHONES

Students will not have access to the office telephones for personal calls, except in an emergency and with staff permission. In the event a student receives a telephone call, he/she will be called out of class only in case of an emergency.

WEAPONS, DRUGS, AND ALCOHOL ABUSE

Any student who possesses a weapon or intentionally sells, possesses, gives, uses, or is under the influence of illicit drugs, narcotics or alcohol in or on school property, including buses, shall be (l) suspended and/or expelled from school and (2) reported to the appropriate law enforcement agencies for possible legal action. See Code of Student Conduct for further information on this subject.

LOST AND FOUND

A lost and found area is maintained in the cafeteria. It would be helpful to place your child’s name, grade, and teacher’s name in all attire and lunch boxes. We will purge items in the lost and found area quarterly. Articles that are not claimed will be given to a charitable organization.

SAFETY PATROL/YOUTH CRIME WATCH

School safety patrols, called Youth Crime Watch, are on duty on the school grounds before and after school to assist with safety on campus. Youth Crime Watch members perform an important service to the school and deserve the recognition and respect of students and adults. Grade 4 and 5 students participate in this program.
