IV. POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT CONDUCT AT CIMARRON HIGH SCHOOL

Our goal at Cimarron High School is to maintain a pleasant yet well disciplined learning environment based on mutual respect between staff and students.  We expect students to be fully aware of, and to carry out, their duties and responsibilities as partners in the educational process.

A. General 1General Guidelines for Student Conduct
Cimarron High School is, in itself, a small community engaged in the serious and important business of education.  Standards for student conduct are based on the premise that all students are entitled to an environment free from harassment or unsafe practices by those who choose not to take their responsibilities seriously.

Students should be aware that they are under the district's jurisdiction from the time they leave for school until the time they return home.  This jurisdiction also includes any school-sponsored activity, regardless of time or location.  Students are expected to conform to school policies and to all classroom rules.  Failure to comply with the regulations, which are set forth by the teachers and administration, will result in disciplinary action.
