(Edmonton Public Schools’ Student Behaviour and Conduct Policy)

We believe all children have the right to learn.  To do so, each student must display appropriate and acceptable behaviour.  Unacceptable behaviour infringes upon the rights of other students.

Students cannot:

• Bully or harass others.  This means teasing, pushing, shoving, calling other people names or making fun of them in any way.
• Threaten the safety of other students or staff.
• Have any weapons at school.  This means matches, sticks, knives or anything else that might be used as a weapon.
• Have drugs or cigarettes at school.
• Steal.
• Use bad or inappropriate language.
• Damage property
• Interfere with the conduct of classes, or school expectations.

If students behave inappropriately, they will be suspended from school.

We expect all students at Baturyn School to behave according to our standards.
