School Culture and Expectations

Kitchener’s Code of Conduct emphasizes respecting school regulations, being considerate of others’ rights, and acting in a respectful and courteous manner. Students are expected to avoid behavior that endangers others’ health and well-being, and conduct that harms a safe and positive school climate is treated as a breach with consequences. The code also includes dress guidelines (e.g., appropriate for weather; no clothing promoting alcohol/drugs, racism, or violence) and expectations for cell phones/electronic devices (not used during regular school hours).
