Standards for Behavior

The Code of Conduct details City Honors policy about appropriate student behavior, as well as procedures for disciplinary action. The Code is designed to emphasize the importance of creating a safe, welcoming school environment that supports student learning.


Updated during the 2019-2020 school year,  the CHIPS Code of Conduct emphasizes the importance of giving all students the opportunity to make academic progress by strengthening a tiered system of progressive discipline and student supports.
