The rules and procedures of the School are designed to allow each student to obtain a safe, orderly, and appropriate education.  Students can expect their rights to freedom of expression and association and to fair treatment as long as they respect those rights for their fellow students and the staff.  Students will be expected to follow teacher directions and obey all school rules.  Discipline procedures are designed to insure due process (a fair hearing) before a student is removed because of his/her behavior.

     Parents have the right to know how their child is succeeding in school and will be provided information on a regular basis and as needed, when concerns arise.  Many times it will be the responsibility of the student to deliver that information.  If necessary, the mail or hand delivery may be used to insure contact.  Parents are encouraged to build a two-way link with their student's teachers and support staff by informing the staff of suggestions or concerns that may help their child better accomplish his/her educational goals.

     The staff expects students to arrive at school prepared to learn.  It is the student's responsibility to arrive on time and be prepared to participate in the educational program.  If, for some reason, this is not possible, the student should seek help from the Guidance Counselor.

     Adult students (age 18 or older) are expected to follow all school rules.  If residing at home, adult students should include their parents in their educational program.
