Choir Rules
Rules for Choir
Most of the rules and policies are the same as one would find anywhere else at Elgin MIddle School. However, there are some choir specific rules that will be addressed. Prohibited behavior or actions fall under three levels of severity and thus will be handled as follows:
Level 1 - will be dealt with in class with a verbal warning and/or a deduction of dojo points.
Level 2 - Minor Incident Report (MIR) a phone call home, and possibly detention.
Level 3 - Behaviors listed as level 3 will result in a referral and a phone call home.
