DISCIPLINE RESPONSIBILITIES

All students are expected to follow the rules and regulations of the Board of Education, the school administration, and the teacher. Students are required to be courteous and polite and contribute to a good school climate.

Discipline is the primary responsibility of the parents. It is the parent’s obligation to develop in the student good behavior habits as well as proper attitudes toward the school. To ensure student success, parents should visit the school and check with school officials concerning their child’s progress.

It is the school’s responsibility to provide learning experiences free from distractions and misbehavior. Administrators, teachers, and others connected with Hugo Schools shall provide positive models that are observable as good examples for students to follow.
