Reynolds School Code of Conduct
Our goal is to create a positive climate and a school environment that keeps students safe, ensures students are learning, and treats everyone fairly. Utilizing our school mascot, the Code of Conduct provides positive expectations in the areas of respect, learning, safety, student relationships, and fairness. Social and emotional learning is an integral part of the school-wide curriculum supporting our goal. We focus on themes throughout the year such as citizenship, empathy, problem solving, friendship, and feelings. These principles are essential for helping children foster healthy relationships, become engaged thoughtful citizens, and enjoy productive, fulfilling lives.
Students are expected to:
R: Reflect and take Responsibility for your own actions and learning.
O: Obey school and playground rules.
C: Care for and Respect your school, yourself, your friends, and your teachers.
K: Keep your hands and feet to yourself; give others personal space.
E: Express your ideas and opinions in a positive way.
T: Treat all others as you would like to be treated.
S: Speak and act kindly and politely. Choose words that are not hurtful to others
Misbehaviors and Consequences
We believe that elementary school is a time to grow and learn from mistakes. We emphasize learning, and consequences for misbehavior are guided by our developmentally appropriate philosophy. Remedial measures shall be designed to correct problematic misbehavior, prevent additional occurrences and provide support for students. Repeated violations of the Student Code of Conduct may result in exclusion from field trips and other special school events. We respect the privacy of all students and will not share the consequences of a student with anyone other than their parent/guardian.
The Upper Saddle River Schools pride themselves on valuing diversity and promoting an anti-hate environment. This includes an intolerance for racial slurs or any hurtful language motivated by race, religion or ethnicity. Any incidents of bullying, intimidation, or harassment should be reported to the Reynolds School Anti-Bullying Specialist. These guidelines will be used when dealing with conflicts that may or may not rise to the level of HIB.
