DISCIPLINE

At Port City Academy, we are committed to supporting student behavior through a lens of growth, accountability, and care. As a school community, we are redefining how we approach “consequences” and “discipline” by focusing on relationship-building, restorative practices, and proactive support.

Inclusion and equity are at the forefront of our work. We strive to ensure that every student feels seen, heard, and valued, regardless of background or behavior. We believe discipline should be an opportunity for learning—not just correction—and that all students deserve fair and consistent support to grow socially and emotionally.

We also recognize that this work is most impactful when done in partnership with families. We deeply value the role of parents and guardians, and we are committed to working together to help every student thrive in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment.

At any moment, if you have questions, concerns, or want to engage more deeply in your student’s experience, please don’t hesitate to connect with your child’s teacher. Your voice and partnership are essential to their success.
