A message from our
Director of Student Discipline
Dear Students, Families, and Colleagues,
We are thrilled to provide this resource to you as we embark upon a new academic school year.
A host of leaders across the district and the Office of Student Discipline collaborated throughout the year to create this year’s student handbook to reflect a wealth of information and informative resources. The Student Code of Conduct has been revised and updated to provide clarity and guidance for students, school leaders, and community stakeholders.
I want to acknowledge our 2025-2026 Discipline Leadership Committee for influencing our Code of Conduct.
