Code of Conduct

The District implemented an updated Code of Conduct, Character and Support for the 2022-2023 school year. This revised document was developed with input from students, staff, administrators and community members through lengthy committee discussions. The Code highlights Fairport’s commitments to restorative practices and creating a welcoming, safe, and affirming environment for all.

In order to meet the standards of excellence that are a hallmark of a Fairport education, the District requires a Code of Conduct with clear expectations that encompasses the spirit of the Board of Education’s vision and mission. Partners in Restorative Initiatives and the Children’s Institute assisted with the development and creation of this document in 2022-2023.

  • In 2022-2023, several amendments were made to our Code, including:
    • Re-imagining language and concepts to be more inclusive and restorative
    • Updating the Dignity Act Coordinators
    • Re-imagining student supports in our schools
    • Updating the dress code
    • Alcohol and other drug regulations and student attendance

Students, families and staff will have opportunities to engage with the Code document throughout the year.

Opportunities for training and professional development are part of the 2023-2024 update to the Code of Conduct, Character and Support, which you can find here in a long-form version and here in a short-form version.
