Dear Parents,
Each Montgomery County Public School is required to have a written local discipline
policy that is reviewed annually. During the 2014-2015 school year, the Farmland
Discipline Policy was revised by the Farmland Safety and Discipline Committee to
incorporate the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) philosophy. This
policy is reviewed annually. Attached is a copy of Farmland’s discipline policy that has
been discussed in each classroom.
We believe that staff, parents and students are in a partnership to help everyone understand
and support the behavioral expectations so that all students can learn. It is important that
parents discuss these expectations for behavior at school and help their children understand
that rules must be made and enforced for the good of all children.
The school staff has reviewed the policy and is committed to the fair, firm, and consistent
implementation of the local discipline code. Our three school wide expectations are: “Be
Respectful. Be Responsible. Be Safe.” By working together, Farmland will continue to
be a safe, happy, productive school where all children can learn.
Please discuss the attached policy with your child at home and return the bottom portion
of the form to your child’s teacher.
Sincerely,
Mary Bliss
Principal
Daniel Tucci
Assistant Principal
