DISCIPLINE
One of the most important lessons education should teach is discipline. While it does not appear as a subject, it under-lies the entire educational structure. It is the training that develops self-control, character, orderliness and efficiency. It is the key to good conduct and consideration for others.

All students are expected to behave at school in such a manner as to reflect credit upon their school and home. The school is not a place for a student to see how much they can do without being corrected, but rather, is a place which social behavior of a nature that is acceptable to all of the students, as well as adults is developed.

Student’s behaviors are observed everywhere at school: in the classrooms, on the school grounds, in the halls, restrooms, cafeteria, gym, library, and on the way to and from school. It is expected that our students enjoy school, the amount of freedom and privileges allowed to each student, will depend upon each student doing his or her best and maintaining a proper order in all school activities. No student will be permitted to behave in such a manner as to prevent others from learning or enjoying school activities.
