Moose Factory Ministik School Code of Conduct
As a school, we promote the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health and well-being of ourselves, our students, and our community. Based on the values and teachings (wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility, truth), we inspire our children to reach their potential by ensuring a strong foundation for their life-long learning.
Introduction
All members of our Moose Factory Ministik School community will feel welcomed, respected and valued because we treat each other with kindness. We are a collaborative community school where our children are proud of their achievements and their unique identity and culture.
Students, staff, parents, guardians, guests, and community members will feel safe, and will be safe, while engaging in daily interactions, resolving conflicts, and participating in learning opportunities. As members of our school community, we will take responsibility for our own actions and we will contribute to a positive and kind school climate.
Why is there a Ministik School Code of Conduct?
The Ministik School Code of Conduct sets clear standards of behaviour that are consistent with our school board policies and procedures and the Ontario School Code of Conduct. These standards ensure that our school is a safe, healthy, and respectful learning and working environment for all members of our school community.
Who is included in the Ministik School Code of Conduct and where does it apply?
All members of our school community are included: students, staff, parents, guardians, visitors, and guests. The Code applies on Ministik School property, on school buses, at school authorized events and activities, and in all other circumstances that can have an impact on our school climate.
Students are to be treated with respect and dignity. In return, they must demonstrate respect for themselves, for others and for the responsibilities of citizenship through acceptable behaviour.
Respect and responsibility are demonstrated when students:
- come to school prepared, on time and ready to learn
- show respect for themselves, for others, and for those in authority
- refrain from bringing anything to school that may put the safety of others at risk
- follow the established rules and take responsibility for their own actions.
Parents play an important role in the education of their children and can support the efforts of school staff in maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment for all students.
Parents fulfill this responsibility when they:
- show an active interest in their child’s school work and progress
- communicate regularly with the school
- make sure their child is neat, properly dressed and prepared for school
- ensure that their child attends school regularly and on time
- inform the school promptly about their child’s absence or late arrival
- become familiar with the provincial code of conduct, the board’s code of conduct and school rule
- encourage and help their child follow the rules of behaviour
- help school staff deal with disciplinary issues involving their child.
As role models, staff uphold these high standards when they:
- help students work to their full potential and develop their self-worth
- empower students to be positive leaders in their classroom, school, and community
- communicate regularly with parents/guardians on important issues
- maintain consistent standards of behaviour for all students
- show respect for all students, staff, parents, volunteers and members of the school community
- prepare students for the full responsibilities of citizenship.
