On June 10, 2008, the Legislature passed House Bill 669, the Jeffrey Johnston Stand Up for All Students Act.  This act requires that all Florida districts adopt a policy prohibiting bullying and harassment of students and staff on school grounds, at school-sponsored events, and through computer networks.

Hialeah Gardens Elementary believes in collaboration amongst the school, families, and the community. To help students achieve success, please refer to the Student and Parent Handbook by clicking on the picture.

​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.
