Student Behavior on buses, in hallways, cafeteria, and recess areas is expected to comply with established guidelines. In addition, rules for behavior are in effect at school sponsored events during or after school hours, on or off the building premises.
We believe that a climate conducive to learning is established through the consistent application of disciplinary guidelines, staff expectation and parent support. The Elementary School Code of Conduct reflects a strong sense of community and partnership exemplified through the responsible behavior and academic excellence of our elementary students.
