Warning Letter
Warning letter is for the student who has a very difficulty in adjusting to school life and has problems in his/her daily life. It is designed to help both parents and teachers to aid the students in adjusting to their environment. However, in the worst case scenario removal of the student from school may be necessary.
The procedure followed:
1) Teacher counsels the student. School sends a warning letter to the parents/guardian.
2) Teachers meet with parents/guardian emphasizing the cooperation with them.
3) Based on the report on the student, the principal may give advice for removal of the student from school.
Refer to the Parents/Guardian Consent Form.

Three Yellow Cards in the same school year may result in a Warning Notice. Items that may warrant the issuing of a Yellow Card are noted above under Warning Notice.
