STRIKE FREE DISCIPLINE PROGRAM OF WRMS

The Warner Robins Middle School progressive discipline program serves to facilitate learning and promote a safe environment. We expect for students to exhibit good citizenship, strive for academic excellence, and conduct themselves in a respectful manner at all times. High expectations for teachers, administrators, and staff provide consistency, fairness, and encouragement. Parental contact will be made to inform you of your child¡¦s behavior and to seek your assistance to facilitate improvement. Students are responsible for returning discipline forms signed by parents. Our mission is to enable all students to become confident, self-directed, and lifelong participants in a changing world.
