Code of Conduct

A caring and respectful school environment is essential to successful teaching, learning and understanding.  To promote a positive climate, that supports learning, we have identified appropriate standards and expectations to guide behaviour.  These expectations take into consideration the importance for each student to be an active participant in a safe and caring school community.  Therefore, there is a focus on personal development, social interactions and community responsibility.

Each student at Thomas Haney Secondary School is subject to the Code of Conduct while on the school premises, in going to and returning from school, at all school-sponsored functions, and while representing the school.  As well, staff members have the responsibility to fairly and consistently address concerns, which arise in relation to the Code of Conduct.  The intent of the Code of Conduct is to provide guidelines, which promote inclusion and participation, listening and speaking, remembering and thinking.  Together we can protect and cultivate a space where all students can be safe and positively contribute to our community.

Underlying the Code of Conduct are particular rights and responsibilities, including:
1. You have the right to learn.  You have the responsibility to actively participate and be a responsible learner.
2. You have the right to be respected.  You have the responsibility to respect others.
3. You have the right to be safe.  You have the responsibility to behave in a safe manner and to protect the safety of others.
4. You have the right to privacy and security of personal space.

You have the responsibility to respect the property and privacy of others.
1. You have the right to use school equipment and property.  You have the responsibility to use the equipment and property in accordance with school rules and with care and respect.

Rising Expectations: Expectations for student conduct for younger students differ from those for other students, as they do for students with special needs who are unable to meet expectations due to a disability. It is expected as students move through successive grades, become older and more mature, they will be more socially responsible and practice greater self-discipline. As such older students may face increased consequences for inappropriate behaviour.

Response to Code of Conduct Violations:
– Responses to unacceptable conduct will be judicious, thoughtful, consistent, and fair.
– The focus on any intention will be preventative and restorative in nature, rather than merely punitive.
– Whenever possible, students will be encouraged to participate in the development of meaningful interventions through discussion and mediation.
– Decisions made with respect to the individual, while considering age, maturity and past conduct. Interventions will not discriminate against a student who cannot meet an expectation because of a disability.
– Every effort will be made to support students. However, if there is “ongoing conduct issues” after having implemented intervention, progressive discipline may included, but not limited to suspensions, change of program, change of school, or involvement of police when behaviour included criminal code violation.
– School officials may inform the parents of all students involved, school district officials, the police, others agencies or the parents of all students when the whole school community needs to be reassured that a serious situation is addressed.
– Reasonable steps will be taken to prevent retaliation against the person who reported a Code of Conduct Issue.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Statement of Purpose:
– To honestly reflect your understanding.
– To provide an accurate assessment of your learning and participation in learning activities.

Conduct Expectations:

– Handing in work to a teacher (whether as a draft or for credit) which is the same as another student’s work.
– Allowing another student to copy your work.  Group work is encouraged, but submitted work must be your own work.

– Cheating on a test.  You may only used approved material or information when writing any form of assessment (test, exam, essay, lab, etc.).  You must not engage in talking, or looking at another student’s test/exam to view answers.

Possible Consequences:

– May be required to complete assessments and learning activities under strict invigilated conditions until level of trust is regained.
– May be given a “0” for the assignment or assessment.
– May result in suspension or other course-based consequences (e.g. withdrawal from the course).

APPEARANCE

Dress Guidelines
The school district is committed to providing students with learning environments that are safe, responsive, and inclusive. The district recognizes that decisions about dress reflect individual expression of identity, socio-cultural norms, and that they are personal.

Students may attend school and school-related functions in dress of their choice provided that their choices:
– Conform with established health and safety requirements for the intended activity;
– Do not represent or promote alcohol or drugs;
– Use respectful language;
– Do not depict or promote violence, racism, sexism or discrimination; and

Ultimately, the school administration has the responsibility to apply the dress guidelines when necessary. If any person dresses in an inappropriate manner, the student should be advised personally and discretely and given an opportunity to meet school district guidelines.
