One Day Academy aspires to
• Shepherd students toward adult righteousness
• Foster healthy, enjoyable relationships between adults and students
• Forge a community defined by grace and known for its long-suffering
• Honor our families’ trust and protect the sanctity of the homeschooling lifestyle
As much as we want every child to respect the guidelines and boundaries of One Day Academy, we recognize that some students will unfortunately choose not to comply. In light of this, the following steps are implemented with students who repeatedly defy the rules. Termination without these three steps occurs only when the severity of an incident warrants immediate expulsion.
Incident One
Since minor classroom incidents occur frequently, the teacher or supervisor usually handles them directly. Therefore, One Day Academy does not acknowledge such situations under these terms. However, when an incident is serious enough to warrant the attention of the campus manager or supervisor, or if a student persistently requires correction regarding minor incidents, four things will occur:
• The student will be issued a First Warning.
• The event will be recorded in the event log, kept at the main desk at all times.
• The student will be noted on the student status file, also kept at the front desk.
• The campus supervisor will contact the parent to discuss the event.
At this point, no other significant action will be taken.
Incident Two
If a student is involved in a second significant event in any one academic year or a third such event over the student’s career at One Day Academy, four things will occur:
• The student will be issued a Second Warning.
• The event will be recorded in the event log.
• The student and a parent will meet with two or more One Day Academy personnel.
• The student’s status will be changed from "Has Been Warned" to "Has Been Called Out".
At this point, the student will be questioned regarding personal desire to be at One Day Academy and must demonstrate a clear understanding of the expectations.
Incident Three
If a student is involved in a third significant event in any one academic year or a fourth such event over the student’s career at One Day Academy, One Day Academy will immediately begin the process for dismissal. The process may be interrupted by the Head Supervisor, but only at the request of the parents and only upon recognition of unusual, influencing circumstances.
Reinstatement
Once a student has been dismissed, the parents may request reinstatement. Any request of this nature will be brought before the Academic Director and at least one other One Day Academy personnel.
If a student is reinstated, he or she will remain on the highest level of warning for the duration of his or her involvement with One Day Academy.
