| Disciplinary Action
If a student departs in a serious way from the directives in the Student Handbook, her actions are subject to review by the Trinity Discipline Board. The forms of disciplinary action which the Board may recommend are (but not limited to): probation, suspension, removal from a class, and dismissal from Trinity High School.
Probation
Terms of Probation may include the loss of privileges at Trinity which may include:
• Participation on school athletic teams or co-curricular activities
• Running for or holding any student office
• Membership in honor societies
• Participation in any school event
• Appearing in school plays, or performances
Counseling may be mandated when deemed appropriate. Additional items may be included in Probation and will be determined individually. The duration of the Probation is at the discretion of the Board and the Administration.
Suspension
Suspension may be assigned in school or out of school at the discretion of the Board and the Administration. While suspended, students may not be allowed to complete make up work and may lose credit for work completed in classes missed during the Suspension.
Dismissal from Trinity High School
Any student dismissed from Trinity High School will be asked to transfer to another high school.
To help our students develop an attitude of accountability and responsibility for their actions, we believe that disciplinary guidelines are necessary. In establishing these guidelines, we recognize that not all students can be handled in exactly the same manner. However, we strive for consistency as we work with students on matters of discipline.
The Discipline Board consists of 3 Faculty members and the Assistant Prinicipal/Dean of Students. The Discipline Board may meet every other Friday, unless deemed more often, for any students who accumulate 5 or more detentions. Following a meeting with the student and parent, they make a recommendation for disciplinary action to the Principal. The Principal’s decision in the matter is final.
