STUDENT EXPECTATIONS

The District's Code of Conduct is sent home for review by the students and parents, signed and returned to the school. The Code of Conduct is more complex and detailed but supports the school discipline efforts.

Consequences are logical and appropriate to the behavior (or pattern of behaviors). Examples include: 'time out' or away from participation, writing/giving apology, demonstration of appropriate behavior, conferencing with parents, community service to make amends, loss of privileges.

If we are to have a successful and safe school with a positive learning environment, Moore Mustangs must show RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY and COOPERATION at all times.
