Behavioral contract One accounts of either Aggressive Physical Contact and Intimidation or one account of Severe Physical Contact or Harassment and Intimidation, according to Sacred Heart Schools rubric for behavior, will result in the student losing the privilege of attending Space Academy. Two behavioral incidents resulting in the student calling the parents, according to the rubric, will also cause a student to lose the privilege of attending Space Academy. Students will also loose the privilege of attending Space Academy if they for any reasons, serve two detentions before the end of September. The code of conduct at Space Academy closely parallels the expectations of Sacred Heart. In addition, if a student does not make wise choices during the time at Space Academy, there is a strong possibility that Space Academy will send the student home at the parent(s) expense.
