• Code of Conduct

Promoting Positive Student Behaviour

Laurier Expectations
The Code of Conduct outlines what is expected behaviour in a school and what happens when someone does not behave acceptably. Students, staff and parents can expect to be treated with respect and fairness; all are expected to follow the Code of Conduct. Progressive Discipline may be applied when behaviours do not meet these standards.
Students
Students demonstrate respect and responsibility when they:

• show you are responsible by using your agenda every day;
• come to school every day ready to work;
• take pride in yourself and do your best work;
• respect the property of others and your school work;
• respect others’ right to learn;
• always be fair, kind and polite;
• ask for help when it is needed;
• look at and listen to the person who is speaking, without interrupting;
• stop, think, and make a good choice.

YOU are responsible for what YOU say and do.

Teachers
Teachers and school staff will hold everyone to the highest standard of respectful/responsible behaviour by:

• helping students work to their full potential and self-worth;
• empowering students to be leaders in class, school and the community
• communicating regularly and meaningfully to parents;
• maintaining consistent standards of behaviour for all students;
• demonstrating respect for all members of the school community

Parents
Parents support a safe and respectful learning environment when they:

• show an active interest in their child’s school work and progress;
• communicate regularly with the school in a respectful manner;
• help their child be neat, appropriately dressed and prepared for school including packing a nutritious lunch/snack;
• ensure that their child attends school regularly and on time;
• promptly report to the school their child’s absence or late arrival;
• become familiar with the Code of Conduct, school expectations and “I Will” commitment statements; encourage and assist their child in following rules of behaviour, and assist school staff in dealing with disciplinary issues involving their child.
