At Alexis Park, in alignment with the Core Competencies, we expect students to demonstrate social responsibility and contribute to a safe and caring school community by:
- Caring for our environment by not littering or vandalizing school property.
- Following the instructions of all supervising adults.
- Not engaging in rough play. Games that involve tackling or wrestling are not permitted.
- Staying within designated areas. Students will not play in the parking lot or any other areas not supervised by staff. Students will not damage trees or bushes.
- Showing respect for others. This includes taking turns, sharing and inviting others to join in. Bullying, intimidation, fighting, racial slurs, gender slurs, taunting, aggressive play, swearing and overt defiance are not acceptable behaviors at Alexis Park Elementary.
- Leaving dangerous objects on the ground (i.e. rocks, sticks, broken glass, needles, etc.) and immediately report any concerns to a school adult.
- Leaving potentially unsafe objects at home (i.e. toy guns, knives, lighters, etc.)
- Not throwing snowballs or “face washing” other students.
- Being aware of their “Zone”, “Size of the Problem” and use their “WITS” at all times to support making good choices.
Further expectations regarding behavior may arise throughout the school year and will be communicated to students, staff and families as necessary.
PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE MODEL
At Alexis Park Elementary, we follow a progressive discipline model in order to reinforce positive behaviors with our students, and to help them learn to make positive choices.
Every student is expected to follow the SD22 Code of Conduct while on school premises, going to and from school, and while at school-sponsored games, events and functions. These expectations also apply beyond these times to any behavior (including online) that negatively impacts the safe, caring and orderly environment and values of the school.
Alexis Park Elementary School staff will maintain student confidentiality wherever possible. However, in situations where it is unavoidable as required by policy and/or law, other parties will be informed.
