The Pledge for Parents and Guardians

                                                                        This is our pledge:

e, the Parents/Guardians of Children at Lynnwood Ridge Primary School, promise to support all efforts that are made to ensure that our

school is a happy, safe, well disciplined place in which meaningful, qualitative education can take place; where self discipline is promoted;

where each learner will have unlimited opportunity to achieve excellence.

We will do our best to ensure that our children comply with the Code of Conduct of Lynnwood Ridge Primary School.

Should we disagree with disciplinary steps taken against our children, we have the right to question and in exercising this right, we will do so in a

manner that is constructive and consistent with the aims of our Code of Conduct.

We acknowledge that there are defined procedures that need to be followed should we question disciplinary measures that may be imposed on

our children.

The procedures are as follows:

Step 1: To discuss the issue with the person/s that imposed the discipline before the matter is taken further.

Should the issue remain unresolved.

Step 2: To contact the Headmaster requesting an interview to discuss the unresolved issue.

Should the issue still remain unresolved.

Step 3: To contact the Chairperson of the School Governing Body in writing concerning the issue.

We agree that in keeping with our undertaking to deal with matters in a constructive fashion and in the spirit of the Code of Conduct we will

attempt to resolve differences internally in accordance with the above procedure and will only contact the Gauteng Department of

Education if that is appropriate and if the above steps do not result in resolution.

We accept that the school has the right to implement disciplinary procedures whilst the process of communication is taking place. The

school, in turn, undertakes to treat all issues regarding disciplinary procedure as a matter of urgency and will act accordingly.
