CODE OF CONDUCT

FOR

ASSUMPTION SCHOOL

PHILOSOPHY OF ASSUMPTION SCHOOL

Assumption School prepares the new generation of Christians for a life centered in Christ by: educating the children in all academic areas, the Gospel and Catholic teachings; celebrating the Gospel in Word and Sacrament; living the Gospel by example as teachers and students. We provide our children with a faith community and a program of development which is designed to aid and complement the parents responsibilities as the primary care-givers of their children.

Based on our philosophy we feel that Christian respect and responsibility are the foundation of an Assumption School education. We hope each child will develop self-discipline as he/she matures. Each child will be held accountable for his/her actions and if necessary, appropriate disciplinary measures will follow.

Everyone has a right to feel proud about himself/herself, a right to be happy in school, and a right to a safe and secure education.

The educational experience of each student is most successful when students, parents, faculty and the principal together support the School's aims and values.

Each child is expected to be:

respectful

courteous

cooperative

responsible

honest

Unacceptable behaviors include (but are not limited to):

bullying

breach of common courtesy

dishonesty

cheating

willful disobedience

vandalism

stealing

sexist or racial remarks

buying, selling or use of drugs or alcohol

disruption of class

obscenity/profanity

Consequences for the above behaviors might include any one or any combination of the following:

1.teacher - student conference

2.parent communication

3.missed free time or special activities (i.e. field trips)

4.repair or replacement of damaged property

5.detention

6.suspension

Assumption School is a celebration of message, community and service. We share with our children a life-giving cycle of mutual giving and receiving. We share a respect, a responsibility, and a moral obligation with the parents in allowing the child to say "I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness" (Whitman).

We encourage parents to read and review this policy with their children. Please sign and return the tear-off at the bottom to school not later than September 13, 2017.
