By KarolinaRous, May 25, 2011
Every culture has a different approach towwards behavior, respect, and discipline, including what is considered proper – and improper – at school. In Canada, your child will have to follow a set of rules tha all students, regardless of grade or age, expected to adhere to.
If your children do not abide by these basics, then they can expect to be disciplined for it, and the schoolwill contact you if it becomes a persistent problem. Breaking school rules repeatedly can lead to detention, suspension, and even expulsion. So make sure your children are clear on the following.

* Students must be on time and present for all their classes.
* Students will not speak in a disrespectful or insulting manner toward fellow students or teachers.
* Moking, drugs, drikingand violence are strictly prohibited on school grounds.
* Physical and sexul assault (this can include hitting, spitting, slapping, punching, groping, etc) will not be tolerated. The school reserves the right to call the police in these instances and your child could face criminal charges as a result.
* Students must not bring weapons or any illicit materials to school (knives, guns, etc)....
