Behavior

The staff and administration of St. Mary's School work to create a warm and consistent atmosphere conducive to nurturing a Catholic learning community. Within this context, the Gospel values of respect, responsibility and right relationships are expected and developed. Each year students will grow in self-discipline. Junior High students especially are expected to demonstrate increasing maturity and self-control. Christian justice expects that any discipline policy protect equally the rights of the child, his/her parents, other students, teachers and the school administration.

Students are expected to comply with these rules:

  1. Behave in a respectful manner toward all.
  2. Use helpful communication skills and non-violent means to settle disputes.
  3. Accept others kindly with all their God-given uniqueness.
  4. Act safely and insure the safety of others.
  5. Exert effort to study and learn well.
  6. Follow directions promptly.
  7. Come to class prepared with completed assignments and all required materials.
  8. Be truthful and honest.
