ELM CREEK SCHOOL CODE OF CONDUCT
Staff, students, and parents have all contributed towards the creation of a School Code of Conduct. The process was a lengthy one, and the end result is a document that was sent out to families with the June 2009 newsletter.
This document holds no surprises: it is a compilation of policies and procedures we have had in place for quite a while. What the document does is provide a more formalized gathering place for these policies and procedures.
