• Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity.
• Intentional demeaning and intimidating treatment— whether verbal, physical, written, or electronic— diminishes the victim’s confidence and interferes with his or her learning opportunities.
• It can cause emotional and mental harm.
• This type of abuse often occurs where teachers and other staff members do not see it, including in text messages and social media (cyber bullying).
• Students who witness bullying or other intimidation taking place, or who are victims, must inform the authorities.
• There are serious consequences for this behaviour.

• Honourable school citizens take credit only for work that is their own.
• Deliberately copying or using the work of others is considered cheating, plagiarism, or forgery.

• A student who willfully disturbs a class or disobeys the teacher makes it difficult for the rest of the class to stay on task and continue learning, and may put others at risk.
• This is also true at events such as athletic competitions and field trips.
• Disruptive behavior includes defying staff authority, using offensive language or gestures, making threats, and fighting.
• Laser devices, fireworks, matches, and lighters are also not permitted at school and other activities.

• HHPS expects students to respect school property.
• Damaging or threatening to damage, stealing, and vandalizing—as well being on school property when not authorized—are subject to discipline.

• A student who damages, destroys, or steals another’s property, including property owned by HHPS, is responsible for compensating the owner for the loss by restoring the property to its original condition or paying for it to be repaired or replaced.

• To ensure that students take prescription and nonprescription (over‐the‐counter) medications safely, the school health room must administer the medications.

• With that opportunity comes responsibility.
