2017-2018 Student Code of Conduct PK – 2 nd Grade Recommendations Level I Offenses Students in grades PK – 2 nd may not be suspended (in-school or out-of-school)  for Level I Offenses. Level II Offenses Suspension (in-school or out-of-school) is only permissible for PK – 2 nd grade  students that commit the same offense more than two times and the following interventions have been documented:  Referral to Student Support Team (SST)  Parent Conference (Request parent/guardian consent to referral for services from Psychological Services and/or Youth and Family)  Assignment of Mentor (Internal) Suspensions will be limited to one (1) day for students in grades PK – 2 nd . Once the campus determines that an offense warrants a suspension following the third occurrence of the same offense, the principal must contact their respective executive director for permission to move forward with the one (1) day suspension. 13
