Safe Schools - Code of Conduct
| The Rainy River District School Board Code of Conduct sets clear standards of behaviour. These standards of behavior apply not only to students, but also to all individuals involved in the publicly funded school system-parents, volunteers, teachers, and other staff members-whether they are on school property, on school buses, at school related events or activities, or in other circumstances that could have an impact on the school climate. Responsible citizenship involves appropriate participation in the civic life of the school community. Active and engaged citizens are aware of their rights, but more importantly, they accept responsibility for protecting their rights and the rights of others. Code of Conduct |
| Public accountability and accessibility remain areas of high priority at the Rainy River District School Board. It is recognized that differences of opinion and concerns may arise from time to time. This page outlines the steps to follow for the resolution of a concern. Resolving a Concern |
