5500 EXPECTATIONS FOR PUPIL CONDUCT
The Board
of Education believes that pupils should commit themselves to learning and to
the development of their unique potential.
Pupils should know that their attitudes and acts affect both their own
and their classmates' learning and should accept responsibility for helping to
create a positive school environment.
With the support and assistance of school staff members and parent(s) or
legal guardian(s), all pupils can contribute to the effectiveness of the schools
and the value of their education.
The Board
expects all pupils in this school district, commensurate with their age and
ability, to:
1. Prepare
themselves mentally and physically for the process of
learning;
2. Respect
the person, property, and intellectual and creative products of others;
3. Take
responsibility for their own behavior;
4. Use
time and other resources responsibly;
5. Share
responsibilities when working with others;
6. Meet
the requirements of each course of study;
7. Monitor
their own progress toward school objectives; and
8. Communicate
with parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and appropriate school staff members.
The
Superintendent shall, in consultation with staff members, parent(s) or legal
guardian(s), and, where appropriate, pupils, develop a
statement of specific pupil behaviors that exemplify these expectations and
shall publish both this policy and the statement of behaviors to all pupils,
parent(s) or legal guardian(s), and professional staff members.
