KG Code of Conduct

“The King George Promise”


King George J.P.S. Code of Conduct 


We are proud to be King George Junior Public School students! A Code of Conduct is a kind of promise that all students are expected to make so everyone can learn, play, and grow together safely.  The King George Promise is based on the TDSB Board Code of Conduct.

1. Safety and Respect: Be Kind and Careful

This is how we treat everyone in our school community:

  • Use Kind Words: We speak respectfully to all students and adults. We never use mean words, bullying, or teasing.
  • Respect Personal Space: We keep our hands and feet to ourselves to keep everyone safe while playing and learning.
  • Include Everyone: We welcome all students to join our games and activities, remembering that being different is great!
  • Listen to Adults: We listen carefully to all adults at King George (teachers, custodians, lunch supervisors, and the Principal) because they are here to help us.
  • Use Technology Appropriately:  Follow teacher guidelines about how to use school devices for learning.  Do not use personal mobile devices like cell phones except for educational purposes, health and medical purposes or special education needs. (See information below about Cell Phones and Mobile Devices)
  • Tell the Truth: If something goes wrong, we are brave and honest so that the problem can be fixed.

2. Responsibility: Take Care of Our Space

This is how we take care of our school, inside and out:

  • Hallway Habits: We walk slowly and quietly in the hallways to keep others safe and respect the learning in the classrooms.
  • Keep It Clean: We put all garbage, recycling, and food waste where it belongs to keep our school and playground tidy.
  • Property Care: We take excellent care of all school property—our books, desks, gym equipment, computers, and toys. We respect things that belong to others, too.

3. Learning and Growth: Do Your Best

  • Come Ready: We arrive at school and class on time, ready to learn, listen, and participate.
  • Respect Learning: We work hard and help our classmates focus so everyone can learn their best.

When We Break the King George Promise

Mistakes sometimes happen. At King George JPS, if we break the promise, we work with an adult to make things right. Our goal is always to learn from our mistakes.

We follow these four steps to fix things:

  1. Stop: The action that broke the promise.
  2. Talk: Explain what happened and why you made that choice.
  3. Repair: Apologize sincerely and take action to repair any harm that was caused.
  4. Learn: Decide how to follow the promise better next time.

Possible Consequences (Making it Right)

The consequence for breaking the King George Promise depends on what happened and how big the problem was. They are always about helping you fix the mistake and showing you how to choose better next time.

  • Repair and Apologize: You might need to apologize face-to-face (with an adult's help) or help clean up/repair something you damaged.
  • Recess Reflection: If a promise was broken during play, you might need a Thinking Time away from the game to calm down and plan a better way to join back in.   You might complete a reflection sheet in the office.
  • Loss of Privilege: If you misuse school property (like toys or computers), you might lose the chance to use that item for a little while until you show you can follow the rules.
  • Parent Contact and Principal Involvement: For serious or repeated issues, an adult will contact your parents, and the Principal will get involved to make a plan to help you be successful.
  • Suspension (For Very Serious Actions): The Principal may decide that for a very serious action, like causing serious injury, saying something discriminatory to someone or bringing a dangerous item to school, that you must be suspended. This means staying home from school for a set number of days. Once the suspension is over, there will be a re-entry meeting with the Principal and your parents to make sure we can all learn and move forward safely. 

We are all responsible for keeping King George Junior Public School a fun, safe, and happy place to learn!
