YELLOWJACKET BEHAVIOR CODE
The intent of this behavior code is to help create an atmosphere of respect for persons and property and a culture of civility that promotes scholarship and learning. Our behavior code is not intended to stifle any positive, productive and spontaneous activity of Fredonia High School students. School is more fun for everyone when a behavior code is closely followed.
When school personnel remind students of rules or procedures, students should show respect for their authority and follow their directions or provide the requested information. The best and most effective philosophy for a student is to say “OK”, do it right away and check back later if there are any questions.
Disrespect – Insubordination – Failure to Comply With a Reasonable Request
