AUS STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT/
STUDENT RIGHTS & RESPONSBILITIES
1. Positive Behavior Expectations
AUS believes in continuously working to improve our teaching and learning environment. Our
classroom and students have high expectations, measurable goals and quality learning tools
where informed data drives decisions. We take pride in being a school where students take
ownership of their actions, behavior and learning.
In our efforts to create an environment that encourages all students to achieve their personal
best in academics, life and social skills, we have implemented a school-wide positive behavior
plan. Students learn and practice appropriate behavior throughout the school day.
AUS Students know how to R.O.C.K!
R-espectful:
Respect the personal rights and property of others, including school materials and equipment
and work to keep school grounds clean and safe.
O-rganized:
Attend school daily and arrive to class on time, ready to learn.
C-ooperative: Take responsibility for your own learning and contribute to the learning of others by
participating in class lessons. Respond quickly and in a positive manner to the direction or
request of any staff member and/or adults on campus. Respect and follow the school’s
uniform policy.
K-ind:
Demonstrate compassion and kindness to others at all times. Speak politely to everyone, use
appropriate language, and demonstrate good sportsmanship in the classroom and on the
playground.
In the classrooms, teachers use the ROCK system to outline students’ expectations to carry
out their work throughout the day. The acronym for ROCK is reviewed before every
lesson/activity to remind students what is expected of them and how these expectations are
to be carried out.
