PROCEDURES/RULES/GENERAL CONDUCT 
SCHOOL EVENTS: 
During the course of the school year, the school sponsors a number of events. Parents, students, staff and community members enjoy 
these activities. Students are expected to follow normal rules (e.g. no running in the building, remaining in assigned areas, etc.) while 
at these activities. Parents have the responsibility of supervising their children so that they do not distract from the enjoyment of the 
events. 
PAYMENTS TO THE SCHOOL: 
Payments to the school for various things should be made in a timely manner. Checks should be made payable to Pioneer Elementary 
School unless otherwise noted. The school may use Small Claims Court for any outstanding debts. 
GENERAL CONDUCT: 
It is the intent of Pioneer Elementary School to maintain an environment conducive to learning. Rules are established to protect the 
learning atmosphere. It’s the responsibility of the parents and staff to cooperatively teach all students acceptable standards of conduct. 
Certain student misconduct will be grounds for disciplinary measures in accordance with the Student Due Process Law. Such miscon-
duct is defined to include, but is not limited to, the items found in Appendix F of this handbook. Any disciplinary action taken will be 
appropriate for that particular situation. Disciplinary actions might include, but are not limited to, reprimands, parent conferences, loss 
of privileges, temporary isolation from the classroom, suspension, expulsion, and corporal punishment.
GROUP EXPECTATIONS: 
Students are expected to work and play with respect for their classmates. At the end of recess, lunch, physical education classes, or 
other group meetings, the group will come to order upon the request of the teacher on duty and will remain orderly as the group goes 
to their respective places. If group situations become disorderly, class time will be lost. To prevent such loss of class time due to 
disorderly behavior, recess may be shortened until such time that orderly behavior is once again present.
There will be no booing or whistling at school functions, which includes athletic events. Students are encouraged to support their team, 
but this does not include being disrespectful of the other team. Walking and orderly behavior is expected and will be demanded at all 
school functions such as Christmas and Spring programs, PTO meetings, and any other school program.
