Code
of Conduct ...
SS. Cyril and Methodius School is a Christian family, founded in God’s
love. Mindful of the fact that God lives in each one of us, we believe
that everyone deserves to be treated in a respectful manner. “Whatever
you do to these, the least of My brothers, you do unto Me.” (Matthew
25:40) In view of this philosophy, our focus and expectations are as
follows:
1. What we believe of ourselves affects our relationships with others.
Therefore, it is important that our self respect be established and
fostered.
2. Honesty and integrity are at the very heart of God’s people.
Stealing, lying, destroying property or cheating in any form affects us
all, and will not be tolerated.
3. Cultural diversity is one of our most precious gifts. We will work
always toward an appreciation of the richness that a diverse population
brings to our lives.
4. Problems with relationships will inevitably occur. We trust that all
members of our school community will work to resolve their conflicts in a
just and peaceful manner. In the event that these encounters are
unsuccessful, intervention and assistance will be readily accessible.
5. We are all people of God. Hurtful behaviors such as name-calling,
ridicule, bullying, mean spirited teasing and making others feel excluded
have no part in our dealings with others and are never acceptable.
6. God has given us intelligence in various forms along with so many
other gifts as well. We will use those gifts to the best of our ability.
We will accept the challenge to be the best that we can be.
7.
Competition is a valued part of society. We will encourage a healthy
balance between competition and cooperation in academics, sports and other
activities. We will always seek to be supportive of “win-win”
situations.
