Code of Conduct

STUDENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The District is committed to safeguarding the rights given to all students under state and federal law. However, with all rights come responsibilities.

Elementary Student Rights and Responsibilities:

This Code of Conduct is an explanation of the behavior that is expected of students in our elementary school. It applies to student behaviors in and out of the school buildings including, but not limited to classrooms, auditorium, cafeterias, field trips and buses. We believe that responsible behavior results in privileges. This Code of Conduct is meant to stop problems before they start; if students misbehave they must accept the consequences, penalties or loss of privileges. We will maintain contact with parents and guardians to make sure the policies and consequences of the Code are understood and successfully carried out.

The following Rights and Responsibilities relate to all elementary level students in the district:
