Code of Conduct

Island Lakes Community School wishes to ensure that all students have the most productive learning environment possible. The following is some general information and an outline of our expectations regarding student behaviour. 

We believe that…

Everyone at ILCS, child or adult, has the right to be safe and happy so that we can work and learn. Effective teaching and learning occurs best in a positive climate where students behave appropriately. We believe that students and staff have the responsibility to: 

  • promote a safe school and learning environment for all
  • respect ourselves, others and property
  • do our best

The dual role of discipline and restitution creates a balance that allows for learning from mistakes, learning different behaviours and making amends.

Our Code of Conduct…

The following Code of Conduct has been adopted by the students, staff and parents in an effort to ensure an environment conducive to developing competence, creativity, cooperation, confidence and caring for all members of our learning community.

Learning Together…

To begin the school year, a classroom agreement will be shared with families. These agreements will establish individual classroom expectations and will assist in creating the conditions for a positive classroom community. We ask for your cooperation in supporting these agreements. Teachers will be in contact with parents throughout the year.

This year our staff will be involved once again in some professional development that will help us to develop and implement a specific school plan defining how we will all work together at Island Lakes Community School. As a staff we will be learning how to better assist students in becoming problem solvers, becoming more solution-focused and moving toward self-discipline. We will be looking beyond the present and striving to develop learners who are prepared for their future – prepared to contribute effectively in the work environments of tomorrow.
