The Blue Jay Student Expectations

Blue Jay International Academy follows the guidelines and direction in the Ministry of Education’s policy/program memorandum #128 * (subject: THE PROVINCIAL CODE OF CONDUCT AND SCHOOL BOARD CODE OF CONDUCT) in promoting a safe, inclusive, and accepting school climate.

Respect and responsibility are demonstrated when a student:

Comes to school prepared, on time, and ready to learn;
Shows respect for himself or herself, for others, and for those in authority;
Refrains from bringing anything to school that may compromise the safety of others;
Follows established rules and takes responsibility for his or her own actions.
