STUDENT EXPECTATIONS

Furthermore, when a student chooses to incorporate information that they find on the Internet or other computer files into their own work, such as research papers and reports, they must use the proper rules of citation. Failure to do so is tantamount to plagiarism. It is important for students to note that Beacon adults reserve the right to inspect private computer files and phones at any time and monitor email and all social media activities.
Harassment
Beacon Academy is a community in which all members have the right to feel both safe and respected, to work and learn in an environment that is free from harassment on any basis, including race, religion, color, creed, gender, national origins, sexual orientation, age or disability. Harassment of any kind can undermine this right. Beacon Academy will not tolerate harassment by or against any member of our community.
Through Beacon Academy’s teaching, we strive to educate students about the nature of harassment. We encourage students to discuss offensive conduct early to prevent such behavior from escalating, and we urge them to seek adult support from either the faculty or Head of School if they experience or witness any form of harassment.
In cases of harassment, students may be asked to leave the Beacon Academy community without following all the steps of progressive discipline. In these cases, families/caregivers will be notified accordingly.
