Student Expectations

The purpose of our school is to provide the best possible educational environment for the students in our community. A student’s prime responsibility is to learn at high levels in a safe environment that is conducive to students maximizing their potential. Student behavior and discipline policies are in effect at all school-sponsored events on or off campus.

Student Conduct and Discipline

Students are subject to school rules:

  • On school grounds before, during or after school hours and at any other time the school is used by a school group.
  • Off grounds at a school activity, function, or event.
  • While traveling to or from school or a school activity, function, or event.

In addition, students may be disciplined for engaging in unlawful activity on or off school grounds which may reasonably be considered an interference with school purposes or educational functions or which necessitates their removal to restore order or protect persons or school property. This includes any such unlawful activity that takes place during weekends, holidays, and other school breaks, and the summer period when a student may not be attending classes or other school functions. In the absence of student self-discipline, there are times when it is necessary for school officials to make a decision concerning the acceptability of a student’s behavior when it interferes with school purposes or educational functions. Each administrator, teacher, or any other school personnel is responsible for enforcing the rules for student conduct adopted by the individual school and the Board of School Trustees.

Where a conflict in policy exists, School Board regulations or State/Federal statute supersedes this handbook. These decisions will be based on the welfare of the total school community and the behavior’s effect of the learning environment. While some infractions will receive the maximum allowable punishment, other disciplinary consequences may be altered, based on the discretion of the principal.

Student Services

Secondary school counselors are integral to the total education program, working closely with parents and teachers in a proactive manner that engages all stakeholders in the delivery of programs and services to help students achieve success in school. As professionals, counselors align and work with the school’s mission to support the academic achievement of all students as they prepare for the ever-changing world of the 21st century.

Extra-curricular Activities

It is the belief of those concerned with the development of youth that membership and participation in extra-curricular activities has a positive effect in the development of constructive attitudes for citizenship and life skills. It is the position of Crown Point Community Schools that participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege. High standards of conduct are expected for students participating in these activities.
