School Culture and Expectations
The school’s Code of Conduct emphasizes shared rights and responsibilities to support “a safe place for all of us to learn, grow, and share.” It states a restorative approach: it is okay to make mistakes, and students are expected to reflect and make an effort to repair harm through restitution. The Code of Conduct also notes that expectations for self-regulation and personal responsibility increase as students progress through the grades, and it explicitly addresses discrimination, bullying/cyberbullying, harassment/intimidation, threats/aggression, safety-compromising actions, and disruptive behavior.
