Administrative Procedure 350

Student Conduct

Background

The Lloydminster Public School Division believes it has a responsibility to set standards of student conduct which develop and promote the growth of student self discipline and encourage responsible behavior.  The Lloydminster Public School Division also believes that parents/caregivers share the responsibility to promote appropriate student behavior and that the community has an inherent interest and role in reinforcing acceptable behavior of its youth.

The Director of Education supports staff in the maintenance of proper student behavior and discipline and believes that students, staff, and parents/caregivers must share the responsibility for student discipline in school.

The Lloydminster Public School Division believes all students have the right to be safe and secure in school.  With that right comes the responsibility to respect the rights of those around them, and to accept the rewards and consequences of their behavior.
