How Does Suspensions and Expulsions in School (Alberta) Work?

Imagine school is like a big game where everyone has to follow the rules, and if they don’t, there are different ways they can be removed from the game.

In Alberta schools, when students break the rules too many times, they might get suspended, which means they have to sit out of classes for a little while. It's like being sent to the time-out corner, but instead of sitting by yourself, you’re not in class with your friends.

If someone breaks the rules a lot, or does something really serious, they might be expelled. That’s like getting kicked out of the game completely, for a while or even forever!

• When a student breaks a rule (like talking too much, not doing homework, or being mean to others), it's called a behavior incident.
• Schools keep track of these incidents.
• If there are too many incidents, the student might be suspended, meaning they miss school for a few days.
• If they keep breaking rules over and over, the school might decide to expel them, like saying, "You're not playing this game anymore!"

Sometimes schools give students a chance to come back, it's like being let out of time-out if you promise to behave better! Imagine school is like a big game where everyone has to follow the rules, and if they don’t, there are different ways they can be removed from the game.
