Wilson Middle School

WILSON MIDDLE SCHOOL is committed to promoting a safe learning and working environment. All those involved with the school including staff, students, parents, volunteers, and community members must share in the responsibility for eliminating bullying, discrimination, harassment, and violence. Investigation of allegations of such behaviours will be... conducted in a timely and respectful manner. This Student Code of Conduct is intended to establish and maintain an appropriate balance between individual and collective rights, freedoms, and responsibilities in the school community. Our purpose is to promote student learning, growth, and understanding as well as ensure that students possess a strong connection to their schools as welcoming, caring, respectful and safe places focused on their individual success. It will be reviewed annually and publicly available on the school's website. The Student Code of Conduct establishes expectations, interventions and possible consequences for student behaviour. Students will be held accountable for unacceptable behaviour and conduct that occurs both inside and outside of the school building or school day, if the conduct negatively affects a member of the school or interferes with the school environment. Behavior may include use of electronic means (e.g. social media). Consequences of unacceptable behaviour will consider the student's age, maturity and/ or individual circumstances. Support will be provided for any students who are impacted by inappropriate behaviour as well as for students who engage in inappropriate behaviour. Although the code of conduct will address issues such as consequences for unacceptable behaviour, the primary focus of the student code of conduct is to help students learn how to address issues of dispute, develop empathy and become good citizens both within and outside of the school community.
