This section outlines the disciplinary offenses and potential consequences for OSS students regarding their behavior on school property, transportation, and during activities such as distance learning, field trips, and athletic functions. The offenses are categorized into four levels, with Minor Offenses resulting in Conduct Points and more severe offenses resulting in disciplinary referrals and progressive consequences. When offenses violate state or federal laws, law enforcement may be consulted. Good discipline is fundamental to quality education, and achieving this requires a close partnership between the school and parents. Therefore, we aim to establish clear communication channels with parents when discipline issues arise so that we can work together to identify solutions for students and help them succeed both at home and in school. For our disciplinary system to succeed, students must take responsibility for their choices, behavior, and academic performance. Students who make poor choices cannot shift blame to their environment, parents, school, or peers. Anyone involved in committing, planning, participating, helping, advising, encouraging, or benefiting from violating school rules or codes of conduct will be considered a party to the violation. While the school will assist students in developing good decision-making skills, ultimately, each student is responsible for their actions and future. At OSS, we strive to maintain a culture of fairness and consistency in our disciplinary procedures. Responsibility for Individual Actions or Choices We believe in taking responsibility for our actions, whether intentional or unintentional. We understand that accidents happen, but making things right is essential. If a student causes harm to others or property, we expect them (and their parent/guardian) to take appropriate steps to make restitution. If an administrator verifies harm, we will notify parents and work with them to find a solution. It's important to note that neither OSS employees nor the Governing Board assume any liability for harm caused by any student to another individual or their possessions. However, we are committed to working together to ensure a safe and respectful learning environment for everyone. It is our desire to help every student reach their full potential intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally. Therefore, we're committed to creating an environment that supports effective and enjoyable learning, free from distractions and disruptions. To achieve this goal, our administrators and teachers will not tolerate inappropriate, distracting, or disorderly behavior during school, on school property, or at school-sponsored activities. We understand that everyone has bad days, but we ask that all students do their best to maintain a respectful and positive atmosphere. The schoolwide disciplinary system aims to instill responsibility and self-discipline through firm, fair guidelines rooted in mutual respect and cooperation. We have a zero-tolerance policy for weapons, drugs, and gang activity and will report any violations to the police. These rules apply to all students and school-sponsored activities. Students who continually disregard the Code of Conduct may be recommended for expulsion by OCPS.

To achieve this goal, our administrators and teachers will not tolerate inappropriate, distracting, or disorderly behavior during school, on school property, or at school-sponsored activities. We understand that everyone has bad days, but we ask that all students do their best to maintain a respectful and positive atmosphere. The schoolwide disciplinary system aims to instill responsibility and self-discipline through firm, fair guidelines rooted in mutual respect and cooperation. We have a zero-tolerance policy for weapons, drugs, and gang activity and will report any violations to the police. These rules apply to all students and school-sponsored activities. Students who continually disregard the Code of Conduct may be recommended for expulsion by OCPS. General Student Behavioral Expectations Setting Expectations Classroom • Be on time and prepared. • Begin working on bell work assignment while the teacher records attendance. • Stay in your assigned seat and only stand when given permission. • Track the speaker during lectures or presentations. • Use appropriate language. • Respect others and school property. • Participate respectfully and complete assignments. Hallway • Walk calmly and swiftly. • Keep hands and feet to yourself. • Use appropriate language. • Respect others and school property. • Be punctual. Cafeteria • Only attend your assigned lunch period. • No backpacks should be in the cafeteria during lunch periods. • Remain seated once you have gathered or warmed up your food. • Raise your hand and get permission to move or use the restroom. • Only one student should be in the restroom at a time. • Keep tables, chairs, and floors clean. • Refrain from getting too loud. • Dispose of trash and help keep the cafeteria clean. Clubs, Tutoring, and Extracurricular Activities • Be at your designated location on time and before the bell rings. • Remain in your designated location for the entirety of the session or until you are dismissed. • Do not attend sessions or activities for which you are not registered. • Do not wander the hallways; report to the dismissal area when not in a club, tutoring, or extracurricular activity. Cell Phone and Personal Electronic Device Policy This policy is for all personal electronic devices, including but not limited to cell phones, headphones/earbuds, smartwatches, portable speakers, laptops, and tablets. While students may bring cell phones or other electronic devices to school, we strongly recommend against them as they are a major distraction to student learning. If a student must bring their device, it is expected to be off and stored in their lockers during instructional hours. Students must receive permission from OSS staff to use their phones inside the school building. Parents are encouraged to contact the front office when needing to contact their students. The same expectations apply during after-school activities, such as clubs or tutoring. If a staff member observes a student with a personal electronic device, they will ask the student to hand it over. If the device is visible or can be heard, it will be confiscated, brought to the front office, and issued a disciplinary consequence. Confiscated items will only be returned directly to the parent/guardian, and shipping charges must be prepaid if the parent/guardian cannot pick up the item. Please note that school staff will only ask for the device once. If the student refuses, they will receive a Level II disciplinary referral for Electronic Device Violation (Non-Compliance), which carries a consequence of 1 day in PASS. Students can listen to music using personal headphones in the dismissal area if the music is appropriate for school. However, cell phones may not be used during the school day to take photos or send/receive text messages. Recording live or pre-recorded sessions is only permitted with proper authorization from the instructor or administration. Students are not allowed to take pictures or screenshots of live or pre-recorded sessions to protect the privacy of other students and staff. Sharing unauthorized photos or recordings violates the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Students who share photos or recordings without proper authorization may face disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion, and law enforcement officials may be notified if necessary. We aim to create a safe and respectful learning environment for all students and staff, and we appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines. Orlando Science Middle High School follows the OCPS Student Code of Conduct. To ensure consistent classroom management and promote transparency and communication with students and parents, we have established a system of common interventions and progressive consequences for Minor Offenses. A progressive discipline cycle is a system of disciplinary consequences that are progressively more severe for repeated or more serious violations of school policies or rules. The progressive discipline cycle aims to provide a structured approach to managing student behavior while promoting accountability, responsibility, and positive decision-making. This system allows for corrective action and improvement while also ensuring that school policies and rules are enforced fairly and consistently. Common Interventions Teachers may set their own classroom rules, expectations, and procedures, but they also utilize several school-wide interventions to address disruptive behavior and Minor Offenses. These interventions are used in conjunction with Conduct Points and Minor Consequences and aim to establish positive relationships between students, teachers, and staff and promote effective communication with students' families. By utilizing these strategies, teachers and staff can help prevent misbehavior before it occurs and create a supportive learning environment for all students. These interventions are designed to be collaborative and proactive and help students develop the skills and behaviors they need to succeed academically and socially: One-on-One Parent Contact Restorative Circle Meeting Reteach Expectations & Procedures When a teacher takes the time to reteach expectations and procedures to a student committing a Minor Offense, they give the student a friendly reminder of the classroom rules and guidelines. This is done proactively to help correct any problematic behavior before the student receives a consequence. One-on-One Meeting If a teacher has already attempted to reteach expectations and procedures to the student or students who are committing Minor Offenses, they may decide to schedule a one-on-one meeting with the student to address the behavior further. This meeting may occur after school hours, or the teacher may request administrative support to cover the class for a few minutes.

Code of Conduct‌ This section outlines the disciplinary offenses and potential consequences for OSS students regarding their behavior on school property, transportation, and during activities such as distance learning, field trips, and athletic functions. The offenses are categorized into four levels, with Minor Offenses resulting in Conduct Points and more severe offenses resulting in disciplinary referrals and progressive consequences. When offenses violate state or federal laws, law enforcement may be consulted. Good discipline is fundamental to quality education, and achieving this requires a close partnership between the school and parents. Therefore, we aim to establish clear communication channels with parents when discipline issues arise so that we can work together to identify solutions for students and help them succeed both at home and in school. For our disciplinary system to succeed, students must take responsibility for their choices, behavior, and academic performance. Students who make poor choices cannot shift blame to their environment, parents, school, or peers. Anyone involved in committing, planning, participating, helping, advising, encouraging, or benefiting from violating school rules or codes of conduct will be considered a party to the violation. While the school will assist students in developing good decision-making skills, ultimately, each student is responsible for their actions and future. At OSS, we strive to maintain a culture of fairness and consistency in our disciplinary procedures. Responsibility for Individual Actions or Choices‌ We believe in taking responsibility for our actions, whether intentional or unintentional. We understand that accidents happen, but making things right is essential. If a student causes harm to others or property, we expect them (and their parent/guardian) to take appropriate steps to make restitution. If an administrator verifies harm, we will notify parents and work with them to find a solution. It's important to note that neither OSS employees nor the Governing Board assume any liability for harm caused by any student to another individual or their possessions. However, we are committed to working together to ensure a safe and respectful learning environment for everyone. It is our desire to help every student reach their full potential intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally. Therefore, we're committed to creating an environment that supports effective and enjoyable learning, free from distractions and disruptions. To achieve this goal, our administrators and teachers will not tolerate inappropriate, distracting, or disorderly behavior during school, on school property, or at school-sponsored activities. We understand that everyone has bad days, but we ask that all students do their best to maintain a respectful and positive atmosphere. The schoolwide disciplinary system aims to instill responsibility and self-discipline through firm, fair guidelines rooted in mutual respect and cooperation. We have a zero-tolerance policy for weapons, drugs, and gang activity and will report any violations to the police. These rules apply to all students and school-sponsored activities. Students who continually disregard the Code of Conduct may be recommended for expulsion by OCPS.
