Glens Falls Middle School and High School Code of Conduct

GLENS FALLS MS/HS SCHOOL CODE OF CONDUCT 2024-2025

The intent of this Code of Conduct is to promote responsible behavior that creates an orderly and safe school environment. It is the belief of Glens Falls City School District that everyone in our community must strive toward contributing to this goal. The objective is to develop a moral school community based on: 

➢ Responsible Behavior – Use self-control in your actions and language 

➢ Mutual Respect – Treat yourself and others with care and consideration 

➢ Concern For Others – Be truthful, honest and fair in your dealings with others 

➢ Cooperation – Listen and work together to make a positive contribution 

➢ Personal Excellence – Put forth your best effort in whatever you attempt 

Students who are representatives of the Glens Falls City School District are expected to maintain a high level of appropriate behavior at all times. 

Rules for student conduct and discipline have been adopted by the Board of Education (BOE). Such rules are stated, explained, and distributed to all students at the beginning of the school year or at the time of initial enrollment in the school district. These standards of conduct do not infringe upon the constitutional rights of students. The standards include prohibited student conduct and the range of penalties that may be imposed for such misconduct. 

Staff members and/or administrators use the discipline guidelines when handling student discipline cases. They outline the type and degree of penalty that may be applied to each different type of case. The penalties range from being restricted to study hall for a minor offense to Superintendent’s suspension from school for serious or repeated offenses. They are intended to be general guidelines. More specific information for each infraction can be found in the handbook under the proper heading.
