Family Foundations Academy Charter School Student Code of Conduct

The successful operation of a school requires the cooperation of many people.  By enrolling at Family Foundations Academy Charter School we expect that our students and their families will abide by our philosophy and policies.  The professional staff and Board have established rules and guidelines for maintaining high standards for student conduct which in turn leads to a safe, orderly, and inviting school in which to teach and learn.  The Code applies to all students.  Family Foundations Academy will abide by all state and federal regulations related to code of conduct issues.  Regulations also pertain to special education students.  Due process will always be followed in the event that the student's infraction is related to a disability.  The school will also establish behavioral guidelines to maintain an environment that is conducive to education without stifling expression and appropriate social interaction.

Upon entering Family Foundations Academy, the student is responsible for his or her actions both in and out of the school.  Any serious violations of school policy and/or any illegal or immoral behavior could result in serious disciplinary action.  This is especially true in cases where the good reputation of the school with the neighboring community is compromised or jeopardized.  The authority and responsibility for directing the activities of our school have been given to the professional staff as determined by the administration and Board of Directors.

Family Foundations Academy Charter School is dedicated to the development, empowerment, and overall achievement of each of our students and families.  Family Foundations Academy, therefore, will be free from disruption and safe for consistent instruction during learning activities throughout the school day.  Students, families, and school staff must assume responsibility in creating a positive, nurturing environment while promoting self correcting behavior that encourages growth, confidence, and overall development.

We will work collaboratively to promote the founding principles of Family Foundations Academy:

"We care and we share."                                 Nuture

"We grow as we know."                                   Development

"We believe as we achieve."                           Strength

"With all our might, nothing is our of sight."     Excellence

Students, families, and staff are encouraged to become familiar with the entire Family Foundations Academy Student Code of Conduct.  We would like for our students to practice the fundamental strategies for academic success.
