EAST ISLIP SCHOOLS CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STUDENTS 2023-2024

The Board of Education of the 澳门开奖历史 School District believes that all students are entitled to a successful educational experience.  In order for this to occur, the school environment must be a positive, supportive, safe and healthy one, in which each member is treated with respect. 

The school staff and community believe that the best learning takes place in a climate in which students experience success, caring, enjoyment, and the freedom to develop their potential. To accomplish this, all members must recognize that for a school community to be healthy, interactions between all members must be thoughtful, respectful and humane.  Since discipline is a learned behavior, it should be taught cooperatively in the home, school and community.  Expectations should be developmentally appropriate.  Increased responsibility and the ability to self- discipline become the goals as the student matures. 

The Board recognizes the need to clearly define these expectations for acceptable conduct on school property, and at school functions, to identify the possible consequences of unacceptable conduct, and to ensure that discipline, when necessary, be administered promptly, and fairly.  To this end, the Board adopts this Code of Conduct.  The Board of Education believes that this philosophy will foster the development of happy, self-disciplined, self-reliant citizens with social consciences. 

Unless otherwise indicated, this Code applies to all students, school personnel, parents/persons in parental relation and other visitors when on school property or attending a school function.  At no time, is anyone permitted to jeopardize the safety and welfare of others.  The Code of Conduct has incorporated the Dignity for All Students Act which was created to give students an educational environment free of discrimination, bullying and harassment.

The Board of Education expects all students to conduct themselves in an appropriate and civil manner, with proper regard for the rights and welfare of other students, district personnel and other members of the school community, and for the care of school facilities and equipment.

It is expected that all students conduct themselves in a manner that supports the intent of the Dignity for All Students Act; creating a safe and supportive school environment free of discrimination, bullying/cyberbullying and harassment.

The best discipline is self -imposed and students must learn to assume and accept responsibility for their own behavior, as well as consequences of the misbehavior. District personnel have the responsibility and authority to use the necessary measures to maintain control within the classroom the school building and at school functions on and off school property. Each teacher has the responsibility and authority to use the necessary measures to maintain control within the classroom, the school building, and on the school property.

The rules of conduct listed below are intended to do that and focus on safety and respect for the rights and property of others. Students who will not accept responsibility for their own behavior and who violate these school rules will be required to accept the consequences for their conduct. All violations apply to student behavior in school, on school property, on school buses and at school-sponsored functions and student behavior off school property where such acts create or would foreseeably create a risk of substantial disruption within the school environment or where it is foreseeable the acts might reach school property.
