Code Of Conduct

Code of Conduct:

• We respect each other regardless of age, background, or culture.
• We respect school property, the property of others, and our own property.
• We come to class prepared and on time.
• In class, we listen carefully and are actively involved in learning.
• We follow the rules of the school and classroom.
• We treat others as we would like to be treated.
• Like a family, we help and support each other; we listen with understanding.
• We are honest in our words and actions.

Specific School Rules:

Safety on the School Grounds:

• Observe the walk-only areas by walking only.
• The athletic ground is the area for running and playing.
• Courtyard during recess times: quiet games can be played in this area, but be sure not to disturb classes that are running.
• Students may not leave the school compound without permission.
• Students may not bring their own sports equipment. The school will provide balls and other equipment for recess times.
• Stones are for walking on, not for playing with.

In the Classroom:

• Stand and greet the teacher at the beginning of the lesson with a polite "Namaskar."
• Students must raise their hands and take turns answering questions using inside voices. They should not shout out answers.
• Students should stand when addressing a teacher, except during informal discussions.
• If a teacher or guest enters the classroom after class has started, students do not need to stop their work and rise. Doing this disrupts the lesson.
• Copybooks and textbooks should be covered and properly cared for.
• Homework diaries should be maintained at all times.
• Students do their own work. They do not copy from other students or resources (Internet, etc.). Students do not plagiarize.
• Students must not mark or damage school property. Students are responsible for any repair costs.
• If the subject teacher is not present in class 5 minutes after the bell has rung, the class prefect should report the absence to the principal or coordinator.
• At the end of class, students should not prepare to leave until given permission by the teacher.

School Dress Code:

• Students will come to school dressed neatly, well-groomed, and wearing the appropriate school dress.
• Girls should wear their hair in ponytails or braids if prepared at home.
• Boys should keep their hair neatly trimmed.
• Girls in Grade VI and up can choose to wear either skirts or pants.
• Students can wear their track suits only on their sports days.
