Introduction

The following is a list of expectations for White Plains Academy. We expect your student to comply with all the expectations. Any behavior or attitude that is less than full compliance is unacceptable and subject consequences listed below. These expectations are not open to debate. Your student has violated the rules of the Putnam County School System or another school system or agency and has been placed here by a disciplinary hearing, an IEP team, the Department of Children Services, or some other agency. This is the last opportunity for your student within the Putnam County School System.

White Plains Academy is a different type of school because of the nature of our student population. Our rules and expectations are stricter than the rules of the other schools within our district. A student is sent here for a minimum amount of time, which can be extended based on non-compliance with the rules. Your student will be graded on his or her behavior (compliance with our expectations), grades and ability to get along with his or her peers and the staff at White Plains. Again, we expect your student to comply with all the expectations of White Plains Academy.
