When students enter Eighth Street Middle School, they become a part of the school family.  It is of the utmost importance that students and teachers be provided a safe and comfortable learning environment.  Teachers should have the opportunity to teach, and students the opportunity to learn in an orderly, non-threatening environment. 

Our goal is to achieve a school climate where teaching and learning occur with an absolute minimum of distractions.  There must be a mutual respect among students and staff.  It is important that students are polite and considerate of others.

A WELL-DISCIPLINED school promotes the idea of each student working toward self-management and controlling his or her own actions.  However, the school recognizes that sometimes adult intervention is both desirable and necessary. 

When interventions are necessary, school personnel will follow the discipline policy as outlined in the Tift County School System Code of Student Conduct.  All students will be given a copy of the Code of Student Conduct upon entering school and will be expected to adhere to this policy.  Students and parents should read thoroughly and become familiar with this policy.  When students, parents, and school personnel know and understand the level of student conduct expected, then, together we can work towards creating a positive learning environment for all.

ome disciplinary actions that could be used BUT NOT LIMITED TO include conferences, counselor referral, administrative time out, lunch detention, after school detention, removal of privileges, corporal punishment, school chores, In-school suspension, home suspension, Recommendation for sixth street academy, expulsion, juvenile referral.
