The majority of our students practice appropriate behavior. These guidelines in the Code of Conduct have been prepared for those students who have chosen not to behave properly. An effective instructional program requires wholesome and orderly school environment. These rules have been established to create a setting where all students can take advantage of the opportunity to learn. These rules also apply to school sponsored activities.

Discipline may take many forms and may involve formal and informal sanctions. It may include adjustments within the school setting (assignment to a designated classroom) or separation from school. It is important that the disciplinary response is appropriate to the infraction and that it is designed to eliminate any disruption within the school. It is also designed to address any personal problem.

Students who are serving a suspension or afternoon detention will not participate in co-curricular or extra-curricular activities. They will leave school property at the end of the school day or immediately following the assigned detention.

In order to assure a safe and secure learning environment for the students and staff, the administration reserves the right to adapt and revise the disciplinary code as necessary depending on the circumstance. Each case is judged individually. (All Discipline Categories can be found in the Student Handbook.)
