​The Code of Student Conduct (COSC) is aligned to local, state, and federal mandates with an emphasis on promoting a safe learning environment to ensure academic success.  The Code of Student Conduct sets the standards of conduct expected of students in a purposeful safe learning environment which the principles of care, courtesy, civility, fairness, acceptance of diversity, and respect for the rights of others is valued.   It also addresses the role of the parents/guardians, the students, and school, but also focuses on core values and model student behavior, rights and responsibilities of students, addressing student behavior, and disciplinary procedures.
​
Furthermore, it should also be noted that behaviors committed on or off the school campus may be violations of the COSC and may also be violations of Florida law. These violations may result in disciplinary actions imposed by local law enforcement authorities, in addition to those of the school/district. The Superintendent, principals, and other administrators shall assign discipline/corrective strategies to students pursuant to the Code of Student Conduct and, where required by law, protect the student’s due process rights to notice, hearing, and appeal.

Digital Citizenship

---

Our students live in a hyper-connected world, spending large amounts of time communicating with family and friends through social media and doing schoolwork/homework in an online environment. Whether at home or school, our students need to know how to be safe, how to use technology appropriately and how to act responsibly when using the Internet or social media. They need to be digital citizens. We need to ensure that our students are able to navigate the digital world in a safe and ethical manner.
