Handbooks

K-12. It is designed to provide a consistent district-wide publication for information regarding student expectations, in particular, around the critical issues of discipline, bullying, hazing, harassment and violence.

SSPPS encourages a learning environment of mutual respect and problem-solving among all students and staff at every school. In partnership with the School Board, the district has developed comprehensive policies and procedures that define our students’ rights and responsibilities and provide for a positive learning environment. This handbook serves as a resource for students and families in understanding these policies and expectations as well as their alignment with district procedures. District staff will be reviewing this information with students at the beginning of the school year. In addition, we ask all families to review this important document and discuss it with their student(s).
