BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS

ACADEMICS
Academic integrity is key to the fulfilling of the school’s purpose. All work submitted, be it homework, quizzes, tests, or papers must be your own. If you find yourself unprepared, have courage to face the consequences rather than cheat. Then resolve to make a better effort going forward.

DEFERENTIAL ATTITUDES
Be sure to respect the teachers and staff in their roles. The tone of any school requires that students comply with the direction of teachers and staff in a prompt and cooperative manner.

RESPECT OF PROPERTY
Be sure to respect the rights and property of others. Violence, the threat of violence, or abusiveness in any form is not acceptable. Do not borrow someone else’s property without permission. Respect the school property by not littering, eating in the appropriate places, and by not damaging things.

DRESS CODE
We ask you to dress in a way that reflects your understanding that your school work is the beginning of your professional work.

• Blazer or sport-coat (for upper school students), dress shirt, appropriate pants, belt, dress shoes (no sports shoes with the exception those that are all black), and a neck tie. Identification on blue blazers is helpful.
• You should be well-groomed. After the Founders’ Feast in April, the blazer will not be required.
• Middle and lower school students should wear dress shirt, appropriate pants, belt and dress shoes (no sports shoes with the exception those that are all black), and a neck tie. Sweaters may be worn for warmth, but sweatshirts are not permitted.
• Primary grade students simply need to wear the Avalon polo shirt.

TECHNOLOGY
Students must limit their use of mobile phones and other technology. Students are not permitted to wear headphones or ear buds on campus; please remove them before setting foot on school grounds. Portable video game systems are not allowed at any time. Mobile phones may not be used in the front lobby before 4 pm.

Mobile phones may be used before school, during the morning break and lunch period and after school (though not in the front lobby). Boys may not have mobile phones on their person during class periods. Lockers, locks, and storage places in classrooms are available for safe storage.
