  • COMMUNITY STANDARDS

  • Philosophy

    Admitted students must agree to help bring unity to the Western Mennonite community by supporting the Western Mennonite School Standard of Conduct and guidelines listed in the student handbook.

    Standard of Conduct

    The WMS Standard of Conduct is a guide for WMS students and families and is in effect while a student is enrolled at WMS.  It is a code consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ, and while not exhaustive in nature, it is representative of behaviors WMS students and families are expected to follow.  Any student or family who is unwilling to abide by the following Standard of Conduct will be asked to withdraw from WMS. As a student and family of Western Mennonite School I sincerely resolve to:
    1. Be open to the influence of Jesus Christ and His followers, respectfully listening in chapels, small groups and classes.
    2. Allow others to seek truth about Christianity.
    3. Treat others in a respectful and courteous manner.
    4. Be trustworthy in words and actions.
    5. Believe the best about somebody or a situation. If I have questions I will go directly to those  involved.
    6. Refrain from being involved in any activity that could negatively represent my family, friends, school, or me.
    WMS administration understands that members of its community may fall short in their fulfillment of the Standard of Conduct.  This may result in disciplinary action from administration.  When these times happen, WMS administration expects its students and families to reaffirm their commitment to the WMS community by re-establishing a lifestyle that supports the school’s Standard of Conduct.

    Student Rights and Responsibilities

    WMS expects each student to share in the responsibility for self-discipline and for ensuring the health and safety of those around them by reporting inappropriate behavior to the correct authorities. WMS students have the right:
    1. To be heard as a responsible member of a community of faith and learning.
    2. To be encouraged for behavior that shows responsibility and consideration of others.
    3. To have conversation kept in confidence when they come to a staff member for counseling (exceptions include items covered under mandatory reporting rules)
    4. To be treated with courtesy and respect when confronted by a staff member on a discipline issue.
    5. To be dismissed from school only after careful attempts at correction by the school community (in the spirit of Matthew 18:15-20) fail to bring about sufficient evidence of changes in attitude and behavior.
    6. To know the standards of behavior expected of them as well as the consequences of misbehavior.
    7. To privacy which includes privacy in respect to the student’s school records.
    8. To equal educational opportunity and freedom from discrimination, including the responsibility not to discriminate against others.
  • INTERNET AND TECHNOLOGY USE POLICY

  • Western Mennonite School offers students the privilege of computer use through educational software and Internet access. Both the computer software and the Internet offer students a vast array of resources that have the potential to enrich their educational experience. The Internet is intended as a supplement to library resources and is first and foremost a research tool. The primary use of the school’s network and the Internet is for activity that supports the educational objectives of the school and the Standards of Conduct.  Any student using a computer on campus, including personal laptops and other devices, agrees to the responsible use of these resources.
    1. I will not do anything that interferes with the operation of the school’s network or the Internet.
    2. I will not attempt to gain access to unauthorized areas of the network.
    3. I will respect the work of others, and I will not tamper with or in any way violate the property, folders, files, etc. of others.
    4. I will not violate copyright laws or commit plagiarism by downloading any copyrighted materials found on the Internet. (This includes music, music videos, movies, etc.)
    5. I will use the school’s limited resources responsibly by not using excessive hardware space and by limiting the number of copies I print.
    6. I will not use the school’s network to access or display objectionable, obscene, or violent images, messages, or materials.
    7. I will not knowingly send, receive or display obscene or violent images, messages or pictures.
    8. I will not download or play computer programs or games that are not school approved.
    9. I will not access unauthorized social networking sites.
    10. I will not give out personal information such as complete name, phone number, address or identifiable photo without permission from teacher, parent or guardian.
    11. I will not use the computers or Internet to insult, harass, or attack others.
    I understand that any violation of these guidelines will result in the loss of Internet and computer use and privileges as well as other possible disciplinary or legal action. The school will cooperate fully with civil and federal authorities in the event of criminal activity relating to our electronic communications system.

    CONSEQUENCES FOR ANY STUDENT VIOLATING THE INTERNET AND TECHNOLOGY USE POLICY

    1st offense = loss of computer privileges for one day – Dean of Students informed and parents notified

    2nd offense = loss of computer privileges for one week – Dean of Students informed and parents contacted by phone and a formal letter placed in student’s file

    3rd offense = loss of computer privileges on campus for the semester – Dean of Students informed, and parents notified.

    This policy is in place to protect the privacy of all members of the Western Mennonite School Community and to safeguard the integrity of the system. Any activity that interferes with the operation of the school’s network or Internet will be considered vandalism. All costs for labor and materials incurred due to vandalism will be billed to those responsible for that vandalism.
  • MEDIA CONSENT & COMMUNICATIONS PREFRENCES

  • Students at WMS are occasionally asked to be a part of school publicity, publications, and public relations materials and programs (including but not limited to print, web and video).
