Community Rights And Expectations

Community Rights

We believe that these rights and freedoms apply to all persons-students, parents and staff through the entire school day, including travel to and from school. Every member of the school community is entitled to

the right to develop his/her own personality (as long as it does not interfere with the rights of others) without disrespectful criticism or pressure from cliques;
freedom from physical abuse and from mental abuse, such as name calling, intimidation, or any other form of harassment;
freedom from being set apart or mocked because of race, sex, religion, physical strength , size, features, friendship groups, age, culture, handicap, financial status, clothing, or classroom performance;
the right to privacy;
the right to be treated respectfully;
the right to an education which leaves teachers free to teach and students free to learn without being interrupted by inconsiderate or unruly behaviour;
the right to have his/her personal and the school property respected; our school community should be safe place for property as well as people.

Code of Conduct:

A school community depends on everyone's willingness to respect and act in accordance with certain basic principles of conduct and community rights. These reflect the underlying spirit of the ISP school rules and are the foundation upon which our community of learning, caring and growing rests.

Therefore, we ask that you

think about others, respect their rights, and show consideration for their well being;
remember that your conduct in the local community reflects on yourself and on your school;
exercise good taste in your appearance and dress as well as in the expression of affection;
help keep the school; the grounds, and the local community clean and free from litter;
give of your time readily and freely when service to our school and local community is needed and requested.
