Projects are designed to be appropriate to the child's age and reinforce regular instruction. Laguna Creek High, Sheldon High, Harriet Eddy Middle, and T.R. Smedberg Middle Schools have community service as an enrollment requirement. There is a great deal of diversity in the families we serve, and we strive to ensure that everyone feels welcome in our schools. This policy highlights our emphasis on civic values and ethics. We want our students to be citizens as well as progressive thinkers, and this is part of that emphasis.
Human dignity is reflected in the attitudes and behaviors toward others and self.
Human dignity is characterized through respect, sensitivity and care exhibited in the interaction of staff and students. A major aim of education in the Elk Grove Unified School District is the development of a reasoned commitment to the core values of a democratic society. In accordance with this aim, the school district will not tolerate behavior by students, staff or visitors which insults, degrades or stereotypes any race, gender, disability, physical characteristics, ethnic groups, sexual preference, age, national origin or religion. Appropriate consequences for offending the Human Dignity Policy will be specified in the student code of conduct of each school or department. Staff members offending this policy will be disciplined in accordance with the provisions of District policy and the appropriate employee master contract.
