Summing It All Up

The Discipline Council, led by Libby Menard, '17, educated the Cade community about the Code of Conduct this week. Unlike the Honor Code, there is no short, memorable phrase that sums up the Code of Conduct. The Discipline Council plans to change that this year.

The Council will take the principles of the Code of Conduct and use them to create a brief statement that will hang in classrooms alongside the Honor Code. The Code of Conudct includes the following expectations:

The Episcopal School of Acadiana expects that every student will:

A. Be honest in all matters. Lying, cheating, stealing, plagiarism and deceit are
violations of the ESA Honor Code.

B. Respect teachers and fellow students. Fighting with, intimidating, threatening or verbally abusing other members of the community will not be tolerated. There is to be no rude or disrespectful behavior, inappropriate language or hazing, either physical or emotional. Any form of harassment (sexual, physical, racial, religious, ethnic, homophobic, emotional or cyber-bullying), coercion or abuse is detrimental to the school community and educational environment and will not be tolerated. This includes inappropriate use of technology at the expense of ESA or any member of the ESA Community. 

C. Behave appropriately. Students must respect the expectations of each teacher and of the school. Disruptive and disrespectful behavior is not acceptable.

D. Take pride in keeping the ESA campus a clean and beautiful place. Students should dispose of all trash in appropriate receptacles as well as keep their lockers neat and clean. No food or drink (bottled water is the exception) is allowed in classrooms, chapel, library or inside the gym except during advisory period and under supervision of a faculty member.

E. Meet all commitments and obligations. All students are expected to be prompt in their attendance at all scheduled classes and activities.

F. Not use tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or abuse prescription medication or any other substance.

G. Behave in a way that reflects favorably upon ESA. Included but not limited to: Sportsmanship, courtesy and appropriate dress are the hallmarks of an ESA student. Public displays of affection are not acceptable behavior.

H. Respect and care for school property and the property of others. Acts of
vandalism, graffiti, property damage, malicious mischief and unauthorized or
inappropriate computer use or use of data on a computer is unacceptable.

I. Use common sense in their actions and consider their individual safety and the safety of others. Weapons, fireworks or explosives of any kind are not permitted on ESA property or at ESA events.
