The Ontario Code of Conduct sets clear provincial standards of behaviour and specifies the mandatory consequences for student actions that do not comply with the standards. The Provincial standards of behaviour apply not only to students, but also to all individuals involved in the publicly funded school system – parents or guardians, volunteers, teachers and other staff members – whether they are on school property, on school buses or at school-authorized events or activities.
In addition to the Ontario Code of Conduct, each school is responsible for developing a School Code of Conduct that is in line with the provincial code under its Safe Schools Policy. The School Code is to be developed and reviewed regularly with input from school councils, students, staff, parents or guardians, volunteers and the community.
Copies of The Ontario Code of Conduct are available at your local school and on the Ministry of Education's website at: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/
