ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT

As a parent/guardian, I agree to cooperate with school officials in managing my child’s conduct while he/she is at school, on the school bus, or in attendance at a school sponsored activity.

I understand that I may, through appropriate channels, express my disagreement with the manner in which the school’s code of conduct has been implemented.  Further, I may exercise my right to appeal a suspension or expulsion as provided in §22.1-277 of the Code of Virginia.  

The school principal will enforce the school board’s policies consistently and fairly, and will make every effort, within the range of the school board’s policy, to work with each parent to address their concerns with the implementation of the school’s code of conduct.  Further, the school principal will make every effort to ensure a safe and secure learning environment to foster the achievement of academic success for all students.

“By signing this statement, I do not waive or abdicate any rights protected by the constitutions or laws of the United States or the Commonwealth of Virginia, including my primary parental right and responsibility for the education and upbringing of my child, and my rights to free speech, free exercise of religion, and due process of law.”

We have received, reviewed, and understand this Code of Student Conduct and Attendance for Smyth County Public Schools.  Student signatures are required of students in grades six (6) through twelve (12) and are encouraged for all other levels.
