Student Code of Conduct
-
Northley’s administration and staff are committed to creating and maintaining a positive environment that promotes learning and for participation in extracurricular activities. Northley Middle School is committed to following the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) and the “Viking Vision” that sets expectations for each student to follow each school day.
In order for the Student Code of Conduct to be effective, it must have the following: (1) cooperation among students, staff, and administration; (2) awareness of student behaviors that are acceptable and unacceptable; and (3) consequences for the actions, which violate the school code. (3) Rewards and recognition for following the expectations. Please read the following carefully:
Northley’s administration, teachers, and other authorized staff members will discipline students in accordance with this policy. Any disciplinary intervention MAY include a referral to the Student Assistance Program at the discretion of the Administration. The discipline policy is sequential and cumulative and it should be noted that in the implementation of the discipline policy, consideration will be given to age, developmental stage and documented exceptionality.
