Bayview's Code of Behaviour

The Bayview Code of Behaviour is based on the following principles:

all school discipline policies and procedures must recognize the inherent dignity and rights of each individual student
discipline is the shared responsibility of all staff, students and parents
discipline should be viewed as a positive learning process
discipline works best when integrated with effective teaching practices
all students are capable of learning cooperation and respect for others

The Simcoe County District School Board recognizes its responsibility, in partnership with students, parents and communities to:

provide a safe, positive and violence-free learning environment
promote a sense of self-worth and self-discipline in all students
support provincial curriculum expectations which promote prevention and socialy acceptable attitudes and effective social and interpersonal skills
monitor students at risk of being involved in violent incidents

Students are expected to:

make a commitment to learning and achieving success
take personal responsibility for their behaviour
