This philosophy extends to providing services for students as well as expecting a high standard of student behavior in and out of the classroom. Needs are presented as school personnel are aware of them. Each school has a Drug-Free Schools Coordinator who plans activities and lessons to help students successfully resist drugs and alcohol.
Elementary guidance is provided through shared services of an elementary counselor.
Counselors work with students and parents in improving home-school communication and in selecting a course of study most appropriate to the student's aptitudes and goals. Students may apply for Academy participation. The school system discipline policy is meant to be fair, firm, and without fear or favor, setting high standards of student conduct and dress. Students and parents know what these expectations are and know the consequences of violating these expectations. Saturday School and In-School Suspension are steps which may be taken in disciplining students who consistently fail to live up to expectations.
