Code of Conduct
Our primary expectation regarding
student behavior is that all students
will exhibit respect for each other, for the staff and other adults
in the learning environment, and for the facilities themselves.
We believe that common courtesy and respect are reflective of both a
good upbringing at home and a willingness to live out the Gospel
message.
Our efforts at maintaining
discipline have as their ultimate goal the
students' growing ability to make appropriate
choices and to build self-control.
These attributes are essential in fostering a mature faith life
which will help the students to cope in a Catholic, Christian way
with the problems they will face in their futures.
In our attempts to educate the
"whole child" academically, emotionally, and socially, we see the
need to provide guidelines for the management and correction of
inappropriate behavior. While understanding that we can never
anticipate every possible problem, and that not all disciplinary
situations can be handled in exactly the same way,
we strive to deal with disciplinary situations
in a way that is quick, fair, consistent and impartial.
Disciplinary actions need to be taken with concern for the best
interests of all. The principal is the final recourse in
matters of discipline in the school.
Families play an integral role in the
development of our behavior goals for students.
We ask that parents recognize
that the school staff acts in place of the parent in matters
relating to discipline during school hours. Parents should be
willing to cooperate with the school in carrying out disciplinary
consequences taken in their child's best interests.
We encourage parents to stress to their
students the importance of accepting the responsibility of behaving
in a Christian manner.
For further information or specific
situations of Disciplinary Code Infractions please contact the
School Administration or the Family Handbook.
