Standards of behavior for all members of society are generally a matter of common sense. All student behavior in the Idabel Elementary Schools is based on respect and consideration for the rights of others.

    Students have a responsibility to know and respect the rules and regulations of the school.  The following are general rules of conduct:

1. Students have primary responsibility for their actions.  We encourage self-control.

2. Students must observe playground safety rules of the school for their own security and that of others.

3. Students shall learn to get along with others.  Fighting, disrupting or interfering with curricular of extracurricular activities (including playground activities) will not be tolerated.

4. Students shall be courteous to adults and to other children.  Use of profanity including obscene gestures will not be tolerated.  Abusive language involving student and any school personnel will not be tolerated.

5. Students shall take care of school property (including books).  Any destruction of school property will not be tolerated.

6. Defiance of authority will not be tolerated.

7. Threats, blackmail or extortion will not be accepted.

8.  Students shall learn the value of the other people’s property.  Stealing will not be accepted.

9. Students shall learn the value of safety to themselves and others.  Students shall not bring to school any dangerous, conceivably injurious or annoying instruments.

10. BULLYING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.  Bullying happens whenever someone used his/her power unfairly and repeatedly to hurt someone in any manner.

11. Students are to behave in a manner that allows other students to learn.  Behavior that distracts students or other teachers is not appropriate.

    These are general school rules.  Individual teachers establish rules for their own classrooms aligned with the school’s discipline policy. Violations of rules will result in corrective measures.
