School Citizenship and Discipline
- Following classroom rules
- Cooperative and obedient in the classroom
- Completing and turning in assigned work
- In class on time and not tardy
- Prepared for class
- Participating in classroom activities and discussions
Citizenship Codes: “H” Honors, “G” Good, “S” Satisfactory, “N” Needs Improvement, “U” Unsatisfactory
An unsatisfactory citizenship code “U” may result from any of the following combinations thereof:
- Attendance: A “U” citizenship code may result from seven or more unexcused absences per term. A student is considered absent if he/she misses more than 20 minutes of one class

- Other Negative Behavior: A member of the administration may issue a “U” for any negative behavior that is of a serious nature and/or inconsistent with LCA guidelines and principles. A loss of citizenship may also occur for any of the following actions: cheating, fighting, inappropriate language, violations of honor code, inappropriate displays of affection, repeat dress code violations, etc…
