This applies to students as well as members of the staff. This would include refraining from rowdy behavior, making rude or deogatory remarks, or otherwise interfering with the rights of others.
Discipline Philosophy
It is the philosophy of the faculy and administration of Denair High School that teachers have the right to teach adn students have the right to learn; any students choosing to interfere with the learning process will be dealt with. When problems occur, every reasonable effort will be made to rectify them to the mutal satisfaction of all concerned.
