The purpose of the blue slip plan at Kaukauna
high school is to secure good order and spirit of work necessary to accomplish
the purposes of this school. Because of the overcrowded conditions it is
further necessary to express a more rigid discipline than would be necessary
under other conditions. Lack of elbow room has always been an increasing
temptation for disorder. After considering the matter from all sides the
faculty decided to put the slip plan into operation, and this is what was done.
Whenever a student is out of order, breaks regulations of the school or
conducts himself contrary to the good order and welfare of the school, the
teacher writes out a slip stating the name of the student, the time, place,
date and nature of the offense, signs it and files it in the office. Here the
slips are catalog so that a student may know how many slips he has at any time
and know the parameters concerning each slip when the student has five slips,
he's immediately notified by the principal to an effect that this is a warning.
Then you have three more are handed in the student is suspended from classes for
a period of two days
