Code of Conduct

Our code of conduct adheres to the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms which states in Section 10: “Every person has a right to full and equal recognition and exercise of [their] human rights and freedoms, without distinction, exclusion or preference based on race, color, sex, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, sexual orientation, civil status, age except as provided by law, religion, political convictions, language, ethnic or national origin, social condition, a handicap or the use of any means to palliate a handicap.”

There are rules at Parkdale designed to promote safety, to protect people and property, and to foster an orderly working atmosphere. The goal is that students become self- disciplined, showing respect for themselves and others.

Students are taught and encouraged to be responsible for their actions, and to take full responsibility for the outcome of their behavior. Parents are consulted in the case of chronic or serious behavior problems through a phone call and/or behaviour incident report.

For any serious or continuing discipline problem, a student may be suspended from school. Suspensions may be for a period of up to five school days, as stipulated by Board policy. In such cases, parents are advised both by telephone and by letter.

For the safety and well-being of the school community, the following rules are essential:
