Student Code of Conduct

Why Student Conduct is Important

The students -- not the teacher --  determine how much is accomplished! All it takes is one students who chooses not to follow the rules to destroy the learning environment for the entire class. This is especially true when working with computers and computer applications. No student has the right to interfere with the learning of another student. Poor behavior choices will not be tolerated.

Rights

  • Every child has the right to learn something new every day.

  • Every child has the right to feel comfortable and safe in our classroom.

  • Every child has the right to make decisions and choices in our classroom.

  • Every child has the right to be treated fairly with dignity and respect.

Responsibilities

Our classroom rules are very basic, but very important in order for everyone to enjoy a safe, comfortable learning environment.

  • Respect others and their property.

  • Be responsible for completing your work on time.

  • Come to class prepared with all necessary materials.

  • Follow instructions given to you.

  • Do not navigate to Internet sites that are not part of the lesson.

Consequences

I expect our students to be accountable for their choices.

  • Warning

  • Loss of computer privileges for day

  • Grade-level detention; Letter of Apology; Write the Rule; Think Path

  • Phone Call Home; County disciplinary form for permanent record

  • Office Referral

  • Permanent removal from technology curriculum

  • Other consequences as necessary if these are not being effective with your child.
