University Elementary School Playground Discipline Policy
When students break school rules they will be given a verbal warning. After a verbal warning students will be asked to take a one to three minute think time. Students may do their thinking sitting OR walking the perimeter of the playground. Students will then return to the adult and share what the better choice would have been. Students who continue to ignore school playground rules, as well as any student who places their hands or feet on another student to cause physical harm or otherwise will visit the principal to go over playground rules, complete a Seawolf Lifeskill form, and the parent of both the victim and the students causing the harm will be called. California Education Code and CRPUSD Board Policy will be followed.
