Unacceptable Behavior

The response of school personnel to “unacceptable student behavior” is guided by CBE Governance Policies, Administrative Regulations, and the Education Act of Alberta.

At Lord Beaverbrook students are expected to “respect the rights and property of others,” in particular the right to learn and the right to feel safe and secure. Involvement in activities which do not uphold the code of conduct, duties, and responsibilities, (including electronic forms of communication) may result in progressive disciplinary action. While it is impossible to outline exactly how the school will respond in each and every discipline situation, students who are involved with: fighting; uttering threats; intimidation; harassment, electronic harassment (messaging, email, photographs, recordings); bullying; weapons; use, possession of, distribution of or active contact with illicit drugs, involvement with or collection of money for any purpose, including gambling, use of or possession of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs or inhalants including vaping, in school or on school board property or in the context of any school-related activity, can anticipate an immediate response from school personnel or the School Resource Officer. 

While the initial responsibility to resolve incidents rests with students, parents and teachers working in partnership, on occasion, unacceptable student behavior may result in a referral to the office to meet with an Assistant Principal. Disciplinary action may result in loss of access to services and privileges around the school or on school or guest networks; requirement to meet with a teacher before or after school; a referral for counselling or recommendation to parents for intervention either within Lord Beaverbrook High School and/or external agencies; in-school suspension, suspension from school for a period of up to and including five days, or, suspension with a recommendation for expulsion to CBE Suspensions.

Substance Use and Gambling Policy

The distribution of or active contact with illicit drugs, alcohol or inhalants, use of tobacco, tobacco related products (e.g., snuff, chewing tobacco), vaping, gambling, and participation in games of chance for money or other items of value are prohibited, while on school property, at school events and on transportation to and from school

Behaviour on the Bus

The school code of conduct applies to students as they travel to and from school on CTS or Yellow Charter Bus transportation. In situations where unsafe or disruptive behavior is observed and/or reported, CTS or Yellow Charter Bus privileges may be revoked or temporarily suspended for individuals found most responsible. School disciplinary action may be in addition to actions taken by Calgary Transit or the charter carrier.
