4. Student Behaviors Treat all others with courtesy and respect. It is discourteous to chat when others are presenting, asking or answering questions. It is discourteous to rifle through your binder or engage in inattentive behavior when others are presenting, asking or answering questions. Borrowing without asking, leaving a mess behind, and teasing are disrespectful behaviors.

Sexual Harassment, vulgar language, or profanity will result in a parent contact as well as an office referral, whether such language is said aloud or written in notes. At First Creek we prepare students for the workplace, and in the work place these behaviors are not tolerated Any language that would not be tolerated in the workplace will not be tolerated at First Creek. This includes the N word, the B word, and other expletives used among friends.
