Courtesy
      Students are expected to demonstrate courtesy and consideration for fellow classmates, faculty, staff, and visi­tors. Boisterous conduct, inordinate talking, pushing, and shoving are unacceptable. Doors should be held for the person following you. The simple words “'Thank you," "You're welcome," and "Good Morning" contribute to a pleasant atmosphere. Public displays of affection  (PDA) are inappropriate at school and often embarrasses others. A positive relationship with the surrounding community is maintained when students show respect and concern for the quiet nature of the school neighborhood. Excessive noise, smoking and speeding vehicles are unacceptable. When school personnel remind students of rules or procedures, students should show respect for their authority and follow their directions or provide the requested information.
