Reward and Punishment System

Reward and Punishment System

Students who demonstrate good academic performance, serve with enthusiasm, bring honor to the school, and are recognized by teachers will be recognized through:
1. great merit
2. Small merit
3. advantage
4. Award Certificate
5. Write encouraging and commendatory comments on transcripts and graduation profiles
Anyone who violates school rules or commits serious misconduct outside of school must be disciplined. Teachers will impose appropriate penalties based on the severity of the violation, the motivation and impact of the violation, and the student's attitude and behavior after the violation.
Disciplinary actions include school service orders, detention, warnings, demerits, minor offenses, and major offenses. Frequent or serious violations of school rules may result in suspension or even expulsion.
Anyone who violates school rules must humbly accept the school's disciplinary action. Students should maintain a positive attitude and be willing to learn in order to improve their behavior.
All students' achievements and failures will be listed on the report card.
At the beginning of each school year, students are assigned a basic conduct score of 80 points. Good behavior and misconduct are assessed based on the degree and type of misconduct (see the "Conduct Assessment Criteria"). This system is used to determine the conduct grade students receive at the end of the school year. In special circumstances, teachers may adjust a student's final conduct grade based on their overall performance during the school year.
Exemption from deduction of points:
1. The initial stage of school is an adaptation period for freshmen. Freshmen who violate the "Failure to bring items needed for class" item in the "Conduct Assessment Rules" within the first two weeks of school will be exempted from point deductions.
advice
1. For minor offenses (listed as items that require a one-point deduction in the "Conduct Assessment Criteria"), the teacher may decide at his or her discretion whether to simply give advice without deducting the student's conduct points.
2. When giving advice, the teacher will notify parents in the "School News" section of the handbook. If the student's violation is a demerit, no advice will be given.
detention
1. Late detention
  1. Students who are late will be assigned to the "Punctuality Class" after school based on the length of their lateness:
    1. Late arrivals exceeding 8:50 a.m. require attendance for 2 hours;
    2. Late arrivals no more than 8:50 a.m. must attend for 1 hour;
    3. Those who are seriously late will be dealt with and punished as appropriate by the school.
    4. Latecomers must attend a "Punctuality Class" on the same day.
2. Campus Service Order:
  1. Students who are called out by their supervisors three times within a month are required to participate in "Campus Service Order" and help clean the campus for one hour each time. Unexcused absences will be subject to additional attendance based on the number of absences. Repeated absences will be referred to the Student Development Support Team.
Meeting with parents:
1. If a student needs to be punished for a serious incident, the Student Growth Support Team teacher or the homeroom teacher will arrange a meeting with the student's parents to let the parents know the punishment for their child's offense and to help the student find ways to correct the offense.
2. To record shortcomings or demerits:
  1. The recording of shortcomings or demerits is carried out by the teachers of the Student Growth Support Group. The principles are as follows:
    1. Those who violate the rules to the extent of a fault shall be recorded as a fault once.
    2. Three shortcomings make a small fault
    3. Three minor offenses become one major offense
  2. Before students are punished, they will first be met and warned by teachers from the Student Growth Support Group.
  3. Any demerits or shortcomings will be recorded on the student's report card for that year.
  4. If a student receives three serious offenses, the school may notify the parents that the student will be suspended from school.
3. To record merits or achievements:
  1. Any student who has made special contributions to the community or school can be recommended by the teacher and then awarded with merit, minor merit or major merit after approval by the Discipline and Guidance Committee.
  2. Accumulating three merits will be converted into a small merit.
  3. The accumulation of three small merits will be converted into one large merit.
  4. Schools can directly award students with minor or major merits based on their performance.
  5. For those who are awarded merits or commendations, the records will be shown on the report card of that year.
4. A student's basic conduct grade is still determined by their conduct score, but will be adjusted based on their merits and demerits. The basic adjustment criteria are as follows:
  1. Adjustment of conduct grade for merit/merit/appreciation:
    1. Those who have made great contributions can be given an A+ grade.
    2. Those who have been awarded minor merits can be given a grade of A at most.
    3. Those who have made outstanding achievements can be given an A- grade at most.
  2. Adjustment of conduct grade for demerits/shortcomings/warnings:
    1. Those with a serious offense can be given a grade of D at most.
    2. Those with a minor demerit can be given a grade of C at most.
    3. Those who have shortcomings can be given a grade of B- at most.
5. Those without any record of merits or demerits can be given a maximum grade of B+.
6. In special circumstances, teachers may adjust a student's final conduct grade at their discretion based on the student's overall performance during the academic year.
7. Comparison table of conduct points and conduct grades:

Mark score	Grade	Mark score	Grade
90 or above	A	60-64	C+
85-89	A-	50-59	C
80-84	B+	45-49	C-
70-79	B	35-44	D
65-69	B-	34 or below	E
