STUDENT CONDUCT

Standards and Daily Expectations in School:

- Neatness in dress and adherence to our dress code
- Courtesy and respect towards teachers and classmates
- An attentive attitude during prayers and lessons
- Preparedness for studies with proper supplies and assignments
- Preparedness for studies with proper supplies and assignments
- Restraint in speech, gestures, and actions which could undermine the teaching environment.


Code of conduct:
- Each person will speak respectfully to the other: teacher to student, student to adult, student to student.
- There will be no bullying or harassment.

Disciplinary Procedures: Both major infractions and chronic misbehaviors (e.g. calling out, being crude or ill-mannered, clowning around during lessons, disrespect towards staff members, taunting, or intimidation, willful opposition, coming to class late and/or unprepared, not completing assignments, etc.) will be handled swiftly. When a student’s behavior interferes with the integrity of the classroom, the following steps will be implemented.

Parent Notification: Communication regarding the behavior or incident will be made through a note home, a phone call, or personal contact. A parent conference may be necessary in order for staff and parents to discuss the needed improvements. If necessary, a probationary period will be set up during which the student’s behavior will be expected to improve. Parents’ cooperation and support are essential in resolving behavioral issues. An incident report will be placed in the student’s file.

Suspension from School: If the problem behavior is not sufficiently resolved, the Administration will determine if suspension is in order. A parent conference will be held at the earliest convenience to discuss the reasons for removal and the length of the suspension. Certain incidents may necessitate parents’ picking up their child immediately. The grounds for suspension will be noted in the student’s file. Should a student’s behavior be determined at any time to be physically dangerous to him/her or others, the student will be suspended at once and a parent conference held as soon as possible.

Expulsion from school: For major infractions or chronic unresolved misbehavior, expulsion from school may become necessary at the determination of the school administration and faculty. A formal letter will be sent to the parents and placed in the student’s file.
