At Bush, our goal is to nurture self-esteem as we help students learn to make good behavior choices, show self-discipline, and accept responsibility for their actions. Parents are expected to be active supportive partners in their child’s educational program. Parents may access the an electronic copy of the HISD Code of Student Conduct via the link below. The student code of conduct details the expectations for student behavior and the consequences for misbehavior. Students are expected to adhere to the Code of Student Conduct at all times when participating in school activities both during and after regular school hours. It is the parent’s responsibility to review the Code of Student Conduct with their child.
The administrative staff is charged with maintaining adequate discipline in each school. The teacher is responsible for the care, discipline, and instruction of the students in his/her care. The entire staff enforces all rules governing the conduct of students about the building and campus. Students will be treated reasonably, fairly and with patience, but persistent misconduct will not be tolerated. Parents will be advised promptly when students begin to have difficulties which might lead to suspension, reassignment, and/or expulsion. (State Law Section 37.000) The school may prohibit any action which impairs, interferes with and/or obstructs the educational process or function of the school.
Children will not be permitted to attend extra-curricular activities (field trips, assemblies, participate in programs, etc.) if their conduct (P or U) does not warrant participation. A reminder that field trips are a privilege, not a right. While field trips extend learning experiences, they are not required instructional events.
Administration reserves the right to require parent/guardian attendance as a condition for student participation in the field trip.
