The expectations for conduct and behavior while attending the Wakefield Academy are consistent with those of the Wakefield Public Schools. The Site Coordinators will go over all program expectations with students at the beginning of the school year and on an as needed basis. Parents should also review proper school conduct with their child at home. The children and staff are asked to treat each other with respect, acceptance, kindness, and consideration. Students will be given reminders and redirection to encourage positive behavior. When a student is disruptive or needs time to regain self-control, he or she will be removed from the group. In the event a student’s behavior fails to follow these guidelines, or if a student’s behavior poses a threat to anyone’s safety in the program, parents will be consulted and the appropriate action to be taken per the expectations of the Wakefield Public Schools. Any students that cause physical or emotional harm, or threaten physical or emotional harm on another student or staff member are subject to suspension. The Director reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any student from participation in the program if these guidelines are not met. There will be no refund in this case. *
