guide for academics and student life - Tampa Preparatory School

Purpose of this guideThe purpose of this Guide is two-fold. The first and most important is to provide guidelines foracceptable student conduct in a variety of specific situations in which students need to knowwhat is expected of them. The second is to inform students of what very likely will happen if theyviolate rules or the concepts established under the School’s Honor Code. Some of the expectationsin this Guide also govern expectations of parents and guardians within our community. Becauseit is impossible to consider every possible situation, especially in an ever-changing environment,we want to stress that none of the stated rules or procedures precludes the School from takingdisciplinary action if students are involved in activities, on or off campus, that the School considersdetrimental to other students or contrary to the general expectations of the School community.The Administration, in consultation with the Head of School, has the right to make final decisionsin all matters involving student and parent rules.The School reserves the right to interpret the content of this Guide, including the rules and regulationsgoverning the academic and non-academic conduct of students.
