Student Behavior

The basic intentions of guidelines, rules and regulations are:

• To provide and maintain favorable conditions conducive to maximum learning
• To help students develop values that will instill self-discipline and self-direction
• To provide a safe and orderly environment

Each student, as well as their family, as part of the Divine Child High School community, automatically assumes the responsibility to abide by all the rules and regulations of the school. Because we strive at Divine Child High School to create a caring community, students are expected to show respect for and consideration of the rights, privileges, feelings and needs of themselves and others. Students are also reminded to show respect for personal and school property as well as the policies of Divine Child High School and are encouraged to discuss with the Administration any violations of our code of student behavior.

Students are expected to exhibit proper behavior at all school-sponsored events. This includes no fighting, no booing or heckling, no throwing or dropping of refuse and no loitering in the immediate area before and after the event. School policy prohibiting the use or possession of drugs, alcohol and tobacco products applies to all school-sponsored events and athletic events in which the school is involved, regardless of the site.

The school reserves the right to request that a breath alcohol-testing device be administered to a student if there exists reasonable suspicion of alcohol use. (A student's refusal to take the test will result in an automatic two-day out-of-school suspension.)
