Info

At M.E. LaZerte High School, we will treat each other as we would like to be treated ourselves. Our goal is to help students become positive, productive citizens within and outside our school walls. Although staff focus on the positive, there are times when students will make inappropriate choices. When this happens, we will work with the student to help them learn from their poor choices and repair any harm caused. This Rights and Responsibilities document provides students and parents with expectations for how to be successful and safe at M.E. LaZerte High School. We seek to ensure a safe, positive, respectful, and productive school climate and culture, where high expectations are set for academic achievement and behaviour. At M.E. LaZerte High School, everyone in our school community has the right to learn and work in an environment that is respectful, safe, healthy and focused on learning and success. In order to preserve these rights, students must also be aware of their individual responsibilities. Student Behaviour Expectations: To ensure that M.E. LaZerte High School is a positive learning environment for everyone, all students are expected to comply with expectations set by our school District, as well as school rules which are in place for the benefit of all members of our school community. Through Board Policy HG.BP—Student Behaviour and Conduct, the Board expects that students behave in accordance with Section 12 of the School Act . Section 12 states that students will conduct themselves so as to reasonably comply with the following Code of Conduct: ● be diligent in pursuing the student’s studies; ● attend school regularly and punctually; ● co-operate fully with everyone authorized by the Board to provide education programs and other services; ● comply with rules of the school; ● account to the student’s teachers for the student’s conduct; ● respect the rights of others; ● ensure the student’s conduct contributes to a welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environment that respects diversity and fosters a sense of belonging; 8 |40
● refrain from, report and not tolerate bullying or bullying behaviour directed toward others in the school, whether or not it occurs within the school building, during the school day or by electronic means; and ● positively contribute to the student’s school and community. ● be responsible and accountable for their behavior and conduct at all times, and comply with the expectations of the school while involved in school-sponsored or related activities, while on school property as well as during any breaks or lunch periods on or off school property, while traveling to and from school, andbeyond the hours of school operation, if the behaviour or conduct detrimentally affect the welfare of individual students or the governance, climate or efficiency of the school; ● be positive when conveying information about M.E. LaZerte; ● seek assistance to help resolve conflict in a peaceful, safe, and non-threatening manner that is conducive to learning and growth; and ● use school and personal technology appropriately and ethically, including the use of social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.). Students are accountable for their behavior whether or not it occurs on school property or within the school day. When behavior that occurs off school property or outside of regular school hours threatens the safety or well-being of individuals within the school community or disrupts the learning environment, school administrators may apply consequences for the behavior.
