Safe Environment

DGS is located in an environment where the penalties for drug use can be severe. Furthermore, DGS recognizes its responsibility to provide an environment for its students that is conducive to learning. Therefore, the use or possession of illegal drugs, the misuse of prescription drugs or possession of dangerous weapons on or off campus will not be tolerated. Theft and the carrying or use of dangerous weapons will likewise not be tolerated.

Tobacco

Delta Global School maintains a smoke-free environment. Therefore, smoking (including vaping and e-cigarettes) is prohibited at all times by the staff, students, and adults on the school campus, at school events and on school-sponsored trips. Any infraction by a student of the rules regarding the possession or use of tobacco or vaping/e-cigarette paraphernalia as outlined above may result in the following: a values plan and suspension from school for a day, a values learning plan, or upon subsequent violation, further disciplinary actions including suspension or expulsion.

Alcohol & Drugs

No student shall possess, use, transmit or attempt to possess, use or transmit, or be under the influence of any alcohol or drugs of any kind (except those specifically prescribed by a physician) on the DGS campus, on school-provided transport, or on any DGS-sponsored activity, doing so will jeopardize enrollment in DGS. Alcohol and drug use at school is a seriuos issue and disciplinary actions will include one or more of the following: suspension, mandatory counseling, drug testing and/or possible expulsion for further offenses.

Theft

No student will knowingly take, possess or sell the property of another student, staff or faculty member without explicit permission. Theft of any kind is a significant violation of community values and school rules. Disciplinary actions will include one or more of the following: creation of a values plan, suspension or even expulsion.

Valuables

Even in the strongest of communities valuables are sometimes lost or stolen. While this has not been a major concern at DGS, it does happen on occasion. The school keeps records of lost or stolen items, has a clear policy and plan regarding incidents of student theft. We have put a number of security measures in place to address the issue. The most effective way to address possible theft is for students to take responsibility for their valuables.
