Disciplinary Board
     In the interest of fairness, the school has a Disciplinary Board composed of the Dean & Asst. Dean of Students, Associate Principal, a Guidance Counselor, and three appointed faculty. The Board makes recommendations on disciplinary matters to the Principal who must approve all decisions. The Disciplinary Board meets regularly to interview students with attendance and disciplinary problems, to offer assistance and suggestions in helping students improve, to set expectations, and to make decisions regarding student problems. Students are often asked to meet with the Board to discuss their problems and to offer their perspective on problem situations. In the event of serious problems, parents will be asked to meet with the Board so that they may have an opportunity to be heard by board members. These meetings offer parents and teachers an opportunity to work together to solve difficulties.  Serious incidents may be referred to the appropriate law enforcement agency to investigate. Although there are general school rules, which apply to all students, each student is treated as an individual and circumstances arc taken into account in making disciplinary decisions. Punishments given may be more or less severe than the general norm if circumstances warrant a deviation from established policy. Students should be conscious of maintaining a good disciplinary record since a student’s past record can be the determining factor when decisions are made.

Disciplinary Policies and Information
     Students who enroll at St. Elizabeth's enjoy the privileges of the school but also accept the responsibilities. Discipline and disciplinary measures are not ends in themselves. They are intended to teach students self-discipline so that, in maturing, they may see responsibility as coexistent with freedom. The rules at St. Elizabeth's call students to a high standard of behavior; however, with consistent personal effort, students will not find the regulations overly burdensome. Respect for the rules and for each other makes St. Elizabeth's a school students can attend with pride. Occasionally, students claim exemption from a school penalty by claiming that their parents permit their behavior. However, school rules are made for the good order of the school as a whole and, as the school does not override parental decision made in the home, neither can families expect to override school regulations. When the school imposes penalties, it is because students have violated school regulations. It is not, as is sometimes construed, a negative judgment on the character or personal upbringing of the student involved.
