Student Code of Behaviour

Plymouth Canadian Academy is a place of learning and as such, there must be an atmosphere based on mutual respect. Students are expected to be courteous and to respect the personal rights and feelings of others. Insults, disrespect, and other hurtful acts disrupt learning and teaching in a school community. Plymouth Canadian Academy is committed to the protection and well-being of all students and staff. As part of this commitment, our school has a zero-tolerance policy on harassment, intimidation, threatening behaviour (verbal or otherwise) and/or conduct injurious to the moral tone of the school. Profanity, harassment, or aggressive behaviour are not acceptable and may result in student suspension or expulsion. Threats, distasteful remarks, abuse of any kind or harassment by any individual which impairs the health and welfare of any student or staff member is to be reported to the Principal immediately.

Any use of Schoology Platform within course for any other purpose other than the intended educational purpose is prohibited. If the LMS (learning management software)is used inappropriately or in a prohibited manner, the Principal reserves the right to terminate the registration or suspend the user. There is the possibility of further disciplinary action including legal prosecution, if the appropriate laws, regulations, or contracts deem it necessary. The security of the online environment is only as effective as the practices of its users. Therefore, it is important that the student user never attempt to access unauthorized material or to impersonate another user. Any attempt to vandalize, harm or destroy data of another user is prohibited. Any attempt to vandalize the data of the course or school is also prohibited.

Attendance

Student participation and online attendance is monitored by each course instructor and the learning management software. It is important that students spend regular and significant amounts of time logged into their courses if they wish to be successful in their courses. Plymouth Canadian Academy expects students to log into their course at least three times per week. Students who have not logged into their courses at least three times per week will be contacted by the course instructor for an explanation. In the case where the student has not logged in to their course for over one month both student and parent will be contacted. Continued absence from the course will result in a credit not being awarded and the student removed from the course.
