Weapons and Dangerous Instruments

Quality instruction depends on good discipline. We will not tolerate rudeness, disrespect, vulgarity, obscene gestures or language, vandalism, and inappropriate physical contact.

We strive to maintain order in and outside of our school building Running, shoving, etc., is not only a disruption but also dangerous and will not be tolerated.

The principal will support any reasonable measures taken by the teachers to maintain good discipline and will assist the teachers in this respect whenever necessary. The principal will make every effort to see that discipline is fair and reasonable.

All families should have a copy of the Roanoke County Public Schools' Student Conduct Code and Internet Use Agreement. Parents should read and discuss this with their children.

Disciplinary actions for violating school board rules must be included in scholastic records. Additionsl information can be found in the Code of Virginia.

A student shall not knowingly possess, handle, or transmit any object that can reasonably be considered a weapon or a dangerous instrument on school property or any school activity.

In addition to other possible sanctions, the principal or any school employee may confiscate any weapon or dangerous object. All such confiscated items shall be delivered forthwith to the principal to be disposed of by authorities.
