Consequences
Students at any grade level should be aware that there are consequences for their actions, both good and bad.; The consequences of good conduct include the establishment of a good reputation among staff members, special rewards, and feeling good about oneself. The consequences of negative conduct, as an individual or member of a group, will vary with the “degree of the offense.” Parent conferences, detentions, suspensions, and expulsions are not considered too severe of measures for the school to take in order to maintain an atmosphere conducive to good education. The following are consequences:
Suspension
In accordance with Montana law, the principal is authorized to suspend students from regular school attendance when deemed necessary to maintain good order and discipline and to protect the educational rights of all students.
Three types of suspension may be used:
- Social
Students who have repeated trouble with fighting, taunting or teasing, following rules, or keeping their hands to themselves, will be kept in a staff supervised classroom during recess periods, lunch times, and/or before/after school. The student will notify parents if a before/after school suspension is being served. - In-School
Students receiving in-school suspension will be removed from class and will serve time in the office. Credit will be given for all completed assignments. - Out-of-School
Students receiving out-of-school suspension will be kept home for the prescribed duration. Credit will not be given for work missed while suspendedfrom school, even though students are encouraged to complete the work.
Behaviors
The following are examples of student behavior which are of sufficient seriousness to warrant in-school or out-of-school suspension.
- Vandalism (students who maliciously destroy or deface school property or the property of others)
- Defying authority (open defiance to school personnel including using obscene gestures and/or language)
- Inflicting bodily harm (defined as an incident when kicks or punches are thrown)

Sexual Harassment/Intimidation Policy for Students
The Red Lodge School District is committed to a positive and productive learning environment, free of discrimination. Discrimination adversely affects morale and interferes with a student’s ability to work and learn. The District prohibits sexual harassment or intimidation of its students, whether committed by a supervisor, subordinate, volunteer or student and finds such behavior just cause for disciplinary action. Whereas sexual harassment substantially compromises the attainment of educational excellence, the District will not tolerate such behavior between members of the same or opposite sex.
Furthermore, the District prohibits retaliation against any student because he or she has made a report of alleged sexual harassment, or against a student who testified, assisted, or participated in the investigation of a report. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, any form of intimidation, reprisal, or adverse pressure. Retaliation is itself a violation of Federal and State regulations prohibiting discrimination and will lead to disciplinary action against the offender.
This policy applies to individuals attending any events on District property, whether or not District sponsored, and to any school events, regardless of location. Students who believe that they may have been harassed or intimidated should contact a staff member, counselor or the principal. All students have a responsibility to maintain a positive learning environment by reporting all incidents or rumors of harassment or intimidation involving themselves or others.
