Student Code of Conduct
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
The purpose of discipline at St. Barnabas is to guide our students to become people of purpose who will ultimately be leaders in their communities. Discipline is knowing right from wrong and actively choosing to do right. St. Barnabas will promote a school environment that teaches proper behavior, promotes safety and honesty, and holds students accountable for their actions in age-appropriate ways. Due to privacy concerns and respect for each student, disciplinary consequences may only be shared with students and their parents or guardians.

As representatives of the school and parish within the neighborhood and larger community, students are expected and required to conduct themselves in a manner that is responsible and respectful of the persons and property of others. Student conduct in or out of school that reflects negatively on the Church or Catholic school may be subject to disciplinary action, particularly when the school's name, its teachers, or students are impacted by the behavior in or out of school. We expect our students to behave toward each other as Gospel people. Inappropriate, disruptive, destructive, or bullying behavior in the classroom, on school or parish grounds, while traveling between home and school, or while attending any function or activity involving St. Barnabas School or Parish is unacceptable and will be appropriately addressed. Each student is responsible for their actions and will be accountable for the consequences of inappropriate behavior by the student's age, experience, and maturity. Any consequences due to infractions of the discipline policy are subject to the discretion of the principal and pastor. Each discipline matter is handled individually to correct misbehavior and add to the productive learning environment of the classroom.
