STUDENT BEHAVIOR & EXPECTATIONS
Responsibilities of Students
The philosophy in the school is to foster self-discipline and, as such, the students will be given opportunities to practice social skills taught in various settings. Students are encouraged to assist one another as they grow in the process of self-discipline. Our expectations are that the students can learn and work in a safe, accepting and nurturing environment. This is true for all our students and when a student refuses to allow another child/children that same advantage, or prevents a teacher from doing his/her job because of disruptive behavior, then specific disciplinary measures need to be taken.

• Arrive punctually, to attend school regularly, and to behave appropriately
