Rules for Brooklyn School of Excellence K-12 School

At our private K-12 school, we strive to create a safe and conducive learning environment for all students. To ensure the well-being and academic success of our
students, we have established the following rules:

1. Respect and Courtesy: All students must treat their peers, teachers, staff, and other members of the school community with respect and courtesy. Bullying,
harassment, discrimination, or any form of disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.
2. Attendance and Punctuality: Regular attendance and punctuality are essential for academic success. Students are expected to arrive at school on time and attend all classes unless they have a valid reason for absence. Parents or guardians should notify the school if their child will be absent.
3. Dress Code: Students must adhere to the dress code policy outlined by the school. This policy may include guidelines on appropriate attire, grooming, and personal appearance to maintain a professional and respectful learning environment.
