Be Kind

We believe in fostering a productive atmosphere where every student has the right to learn without disruptions. Students, administrators, and teachers all play a role in modeling appropriate behavior and supporting the necessary structure for self-discipline.

In our commitment to safety, we encourage students to take responsibility for their actions, practice self-control, and acknowledge consequences for inappropriate behavior. Parents/guardians are also essential partners in maintaining this safe environment and are urged to collaborate with faculty and administration.

While our goal is not to punish, consequences are effective tools to modify behavior. Discipline referrals may result in consequences, documented for future reference. FSUS employs various forms of consequences, outlined in the Code of Student Conduct. Additionally, we utilize Nole Notes to encourage students to self-correct before facing referrals.
