The code of conduct rests on four principles: every person deserves<br \/>\nto be respected; every person deserves to be safe, to feel safe and to be free from danger; students<br \/>\nattend school to learn academic, behavioral and social skills, and learning is enhanced in a<br \/>\nphysically and emotionally safe environment; and learning is enhanced by clear academic and<br \/>\nbehavioral expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the code of conduct, the school operates a point system for students in grades 3-8. Each<br \/>\ninfraction carries a point value and a consequence, and parents are contacted for every disciplinary<br \/>\naction. Accumulating 10, 15 or 20 points results in escalating loss of privileges, required counselling<br \/>\nsessions with the School Counselor, and a parent meeting. If evidence later shows a student did not<br \/>\ncommit an infraction, the points are removed. Students in season are additionally held to the<br \/>\nathletic contract, which is stricter than the code of conduct.<\/p>\n<p>A separate point system applies to students in preschool through grade 2.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Student Code of Conduct Point System, Grades 3-8 \u2014 Regulation 5131R (PDF)<\/li>\n<li>Student Code of Conduct Point System, Grades PK-2 \u2014 Regulation 5131R (PDF)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Dress Code<\/h2>\n<p>Students at Franklin Township School are to uphold standards of appropriate dress. The way students come dressed for school often influences their behavior and attitude during the day. School attire should be neat, clean, and reflect an appearance of modesty. Safety must also be taken into consideration regarding footwear and accessories.<\/p>\n<p>The guidelines listed below will be followed when considering appropriate dress during school hours and during school sponsored activities, including school trips:<\/p>\n<p>Any articles of clothing which are considered distracting or disruptive to the educational process are subject to administrative review. The administration reserves the right to deem inappropriate any other item of attire that does not help to provide a positive and uninterrupted learning environment at Franklin Township School. <\/p>\n<p>Students who come to school dressed in violation of the Dress Code will be given an opportunity to adjust, cover up, or change into more appropriate clothing. If they do not have a change of clothes, they must wear clothing provided by the administration for the remainder of the day or until they are picked up by a parent\/guardian. Hats, caps, etc. will be confiscated. Repeated violations of the Dress Codes will result in appropriate corrective discipline action, such as loss of school privileges, detention, in school suspension, or other consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Please see Pupil Code of Conduct for consequences. <strong><a href=\"\/apps\/pages\/index.jsp?uREC_ID=4432770&amp;type=d&amp;pREC_ID=2672970\">Policy 5131<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Student Nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>Franklin Township School participates in the federal school breakfast and lunch programs,<br \/>\noperated in partnership with Franklin-Hunterdon.
