Code of Conduct & Rules For School

Our code of conduct is comprised of the following elements, and the questionsguide choices and decisions:

Safety: Are my actions safe for myself and others?

Respect: Do my actions show respect for myself and others?

Honesty: Do my words and actions represent the truth?

Responsibility: Do my actions meet with the expectations to take care of

myself and be a dependable member of the community?

Courtesy: Do my actions help make this a nice place where people feel

welcome and accepted, and where they can do their work?

We believe that all students have a responsibility to behave in an appropriate

manner that allows teachers to teach and students to learn and does not violate the

best interest of any individual in the school community. The following student

expectations define more clearly the behaviors that align with the above five

elements in the code of conduct:

For my safety and that of others

I am expected to come to school on time and remain there unless I have the

permission of my parents and the school authorities to leave.

I am expected to be aware of all rules and regulations for student behavior
