What does Discipline Manager do?

Discipline Manager helps you manage the process of discipline in your school. It goes far beyond mere state required discipline reporting. Discipline Manager helps you establish an environment of accountability, in proves follow-through and makes discipline more consistent. Parents are automatically notified of discipline events and consequences. When teachers make referrals, they are automatically notified of the consequences assigned and when the consequences have been satisfied. Referrals don't get lost. Students who fail to show up for detention reliably and up with escalated consequences. When students are taken out of class as for in school suspension, requests for their assignments are sent to their teachers. If the assignments are not forthcoming, the teachers are reminded.

Discipline Manager also includes nontraditional consequences such as online questionnaires designed to make students reflect upon their misbehavior in a non-discipline setting. Students can be assigned a loss of privileges for specified lengths of time.

While Discipline Manager is used most often for punitive consequences, it also includes a merit and demerit system which can be used to implement a positive discipline system.

in further support of the discipline process, Discipline Manager makes critical information available at decision points. For example, a summary of a students recent discipline history is displayed on the page where a principal assigned to consequence. Also available on the same page, our relevant documents such as behavior improvement plans, individualized education plans and plans to accommodate disabilities. The same page can also display the school's policies toward the misbehavior that triggered the current referral.
