Student Code of Conduct – Behaviour Intervention and Response (Policy JIC)
The St. James-Assiniboia School Division is committed to ensuring that all schools provide safe, caring, inclusive, and culturally responsive learning environments where every student experiences dignity, belonging, and support for their learning and well-being.
Our Student Code of Conduct is outlined in Policy JIC: Behaviour Intervention and Response, which aligns with Manitoba's Provincial Code of Conduct and relevant legislation, including The Public Schools Act and The Human Rights Code.
Policy JIC reflects a student-centered, strength-based approach that emphasizes:
• Proactive, whole-school practices that promote positive relationships and prevent harm
• Fair, consistent, and culturally responsive interventions
• Respect for human dignity in all responses to behaviour
• Professional judgment in determining appropriate supports and consequences
• Shared responsibility among students, families, staff, and the broader community
When concerns arise, schools prioritize restorative and supportive response strategies. Where necessary, appropriate interventions and disciplinary consequences may be implemented, taking into consideration the student's age, development, diverse needs, and the nature and severity of the behaviour.
