MPSS' Student Code of Conduct

Highlights of Student Code of Conduct:

All students at McKinnon Park Secondary School will be treated with consideration and respect. Students will be presented with opportunities for varied learning experiences through classes and extended-curricular and co-instructional activities.
The educational experience requires certain attitudes and behaviours from students.

Following is an excerpt from the Education Act 1998:

• attend classes punctually and regularly
• be diligent in attempting to master such studies as are part of the program in which the pupil is enrolled
• exercise self-discipline
• accept such discipline as would be exercised by a kind, firm and judicious parent
• show respect for school property.

Using the Education Act and certain policies of the Grand Erie District School Board as guides, a committee of staff, students and parents have developed a "Code of Behaviour" for McKinnon Park Secondary School.

In brief, at McKinnon Park Secondary School, students are expected to:

• attend classes regularly
• be punctual for classes, equipped and prepared to participate
• complete all assigned work
• submit their own work on assignments, projects, tests, etc.
• conduct themselves properly on school buses
• show respect for students, staff and self
• treat school property and property of others with respect
• refrain from smoking on school property
• refrain from violent behaviour, use of restricted or banned substances, unacceptable language, sexist behaviour and language, racist behaviour and language and illegal activities.
