Discipline Policy“Discipline is training that develops self control, character and social competence.” It is derived from the word Disciple. Teachers and students in Chautauqua act in exemplary way to demonstrate appropriate behavior. The only method of discipline at Chautauqua Day School is “time out.” A child is sent to time out for any violent action, cruelty, or rude behavior. One minute of sitting or standing for every year of life. A child never goes to time out without fully understanding why. A teacher or assistant waits nearby to reinforce positive behavior when their time out is over. A child may be asked to go to the “crying for no reason chair.” This usually remedies the situation quickly. An “office talk” is time out in the office with the director. This version is reserved for more serious offences or repeat offenders. Parents will be notified if a conference is necessary. If a medical or developmental evaluation is recommended, it must be scheduled within a month of the request. Every effort will be make in confidence to support the family and child to obtain the most appropriate care.
