We are committed to providing all students the highest quality education in a safe and secure learning environment. A cornerstone of this effort is the Code of Student Conduct. The Code of Conduct includes information about the rules that students are expected to follow as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior. The Code also describes the rights of students as well as the responsibilities coupled with those rights. Although the Code of Student Conduct is followed by each school, other matters such as dress code are within the jurisdiction of the school.

Code of Student Conduct - Parent Guide
Nos comprometemos a brindar a todos los estudiantes una educación de la más alta calidad en un entorno de aprendizaje seguro y protegido. Un pilar fundamental de este esfuerzo es el Código de Conducta Estudiantil. Este Código incluye información sobre las normas que se espera que los estudiantes cumplan, así como las consecuencias de un comportamiento inaceptable. El Código también describe los derechos de los estudiantes y las responsabilidades asociadas a estos derechos. Si bien todas las escuelas siguen el Código de Conducta Estudiantil, otros asuntos, como el código de vestimenta, son competencia de cada escuela.
