Announcement
Student Punishment
First - Due to the bad behavior of both students Tariq Shalom Cohen and Chirac Soren
Khojian from the second intermediate class (A), as they misbehaved towards Mrs.
Fawzia, one of the teachers in this school, the Discipline Committee met under the chairmanship of
the school principal on Tuesday, 14 / 2 / 1956, and decided to deduct twenty points
from the conduct average of each of them. Note that five points had previously been deducted
from the conduct average of student Tariq Shalom Cohen on 26 / 10 / 1955 and (20) points on
1 / 11 / 1955. Accordingly, the total points deducted from his conduct average
has reached forty-five points.
Furthermore, a student is considered to have failed his grade if 51%
or more is deducted from his conduct points.
Second - The student Tariq Shalom Cohen, in addition to his impoliteness, has neglected
the school regulations which require submitting an excuse letter for his absence to the administration
immediately upon his arrival at school and before entering the classroom. Therefore, the school administration will take
the necessary measures against this student should he repeat this action in the future.
