Student General Responsibilities

Students will follow all policies and regulations set down by the Principal and the faculty.

  • Respect the rights, ideas and property of students, the staff, and school in speech and behavior.
  • Maintain regular attendance.
  • Complete work assigned for all teachers.
  • Notify the playground supervisor immediately of any injury or unsafe behavior, equipment, or materials.
  • Practice proper safety habits.
  • Practice acceptable courtesy habits.
  • Dress appropriately and observe proper hygiene for school.
  • Bringing nuisance items, play weapons, water pistols, skate boards, electronic entertainment devices (including but not limited to personal tape players/recorders, cell phones, pagers, Game Boys, etc.) is not permitted and such items will be confiscated.
  • Possessing or chewing gum on school premises is not allowed.
  • Disrespectful speech (insulting or profane language), defiance, rudeness, or interference with the education process will not be tolerated.
  • Restitution will be expected in the case of vandalism, damage or loss of textbooks and/or library books. Individual damages will be assessed at the end of the school year and appropriate charges made.
  • All fees (ie: library fines, lunch charges, etc.) must be taken care of before the final report card is given.

Academic honesty is expected of all students in the performance of all academic work. Cheating, plagiarism (such as, but not limited to, copying or sharing the work of another and submitting it as one’s own), or doing another person’s homework assignments are all forms of academic dishonesty.

Discipline is achieved by a program of character building. Through the clarification of values and the practice of self-reliance, self-control, initiative and honesty, the student will be acquiring the Christian social virtues. The school shares with the home and the Church the responsibility of preparing our young people for productive roles in society. Therefore, the school establishes and enforces appropriate standards of student behavior.

Families are expected to honor and support the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals in regard to matters relating to student disciplinary issues and actions.
