STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
White Middle School students believe in respect for people and in a climate of high expectations of excellence.

RESPECT EACH OTHER
This means students do not:

Infractions that threaten the safety or personal well being of any student or school employee can lead to arrest, suspension, opportunity transfer, or recommendations for expulsion. White Middle School students are responsible for their own actions and property.
