Dress Code, Tardies, Cell Phone Use, Chromebook Misuse - Tracking Infractions
Intellectual Virtues Academy has adopted the following general guidelines in order to enhance student achievement, create a safe learning environment, provide school able to operate with limited distractions, hazards, or threat to students' health, safety, and general welfare.
 
IVA tracks these student infractions in a few areas: being out of dress code, use of cell phone or other device on campus, tardies to class during the school day, disruptions at our full school Virtue ceremony or assemblies, and other types of harm to campus incidents. 
 
IVA follows three steps to address these types of out of the classroom infractions:
1) warning: student will receive notice of the infraction and change out or have their cell phone held in the office until the end of the day
2) family notice: notice to student and home about the policy and the second infraction: parent will pick up the cell phone after school
3) consequence: notice home about third infraction, which may result in any of the following: loss of break, school activity, cell phone contract, behavior contract and/or parent conference to identify supports needed
