Learning to cooperate and solve issues in a social setting for young people is also a part of learning. Rules are introduced and reinforced verbally for students.

Continued behavior will result with conference, plan for intervention, and possible dismissal. 

Older students who are bullying,stealing, using verbal or physical behaviors deemed to be dangerous to another person will be put in the principal's office and parents will be immediately called for an intervention meeting. If behavior continues they will be expelled. Bringing weapons or drugs to school will immediately result in a dismissal.

If a student comes to school without being in uniform, parents will be called to bring them a uniform. Easy solution is to have a uniform in their backpack or cubby.
