The code also includes expectations around respectful behaviour, dress code guidelines, and personal digital device use during school hours.

For safety on school grounds, students are expected to walk bicycles, skateboards, scooters, and roller blades while on school grounds and bring a helmet so these items are used according to community bylaws.
