School Policies : Student Conduct
Acceptable Conduct:
Schools are established for the benefit of all students. The educational goals of the school are accomplished best in a climate where student behavior is socially acceptable and conducive to the teaching and learning process. Student behavior which disrupts this process or which infringes upon the rights of other individuals will not be tolerated.
