PREAMBLE
There is a strong commitment at Williams Bay
Junior and Senior High School to the creation and maintenance of a school
environment that presents students with the opportunity to study and learn
under the best conditions possible. A
key factor in providing a positive learning environment is the success realized
by the school in its effort to promote positive behavior among its students. Williams Bay Junior and Senior High Schools
offer an educational program designed to meet the academic, career, and social
needs of its students. Just as students
have a right to expect this program to be of high quality and one in which
they can fully develop their knowledge and skills, the school also expects
all students to participate in a productive and positive manner. The balance between a high quality program
and positive behavior by students ensures an effective learning environment
for all. The maintenance of a good
learning atmosphere depends upon the sustained and cooperative effort on the
part of the students, parents/guardians, teachers and administrators.
The following Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities
is essential to the progress of all the students at Williams Bay Junior and
Senior High School. By law, it is
the responsibility of the School Board and administrators to make reasonable
rules and regulations for governing the conduct of student behavior and conduct
which helps to safeguard the health and safety of each student. The Code is not intended to be punitive, rather
to communicate the expectations regarding acceptable conduct in school in
order to provide a positive learning environment for all students.
The success of this Code requires exercise
of good faith by students, parents and school district personnel, as well
as basic respect for the worth of each individual and the individual’s ability
to contribute to society.
