leaders. Firm and sound discipline of the individual is basic to this development. Respectful behavior must be taught, learned and practiced.

As a Catholic school community, opportunities to gather in prayer are especially important. Student behavior during liturgies and prayer should be exemplary. Students should always remain silent during Mass and prayer experiences except to pray aloud or sing as appropriate. Students who are not of the Catholic faith are expected to participate as fully as possible and to remain in respectful silence when not participating.

We expect everyone here, students, parents, teachers, administrators, and staff, to treat all others with respect. Courteous behavior and respect for the rights of others are expected of all students in classrooms, on campus, within the vicinity of school, and at all school functions both on and off campus. Off-campus conduct by the student and/or parent that reflects negatively on Bishop Grimes may be grounds for school disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, expulsion in the School's sole discretion. All conduct and disciplinary decisions are decided upon by the school administration.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE & PRAYER Students are expected to display respect for their country by standing during morning and afternoon prayer and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Please know the school communicates with parents and students electronically. It is a parent and student responsibility to check email, FACTS, access the home page, and stay in touch through social media resources and the Bishop Grimes App.
