Code of Conduct

We believe that all children are expected to behave in accordance with the Gospel message. As Catholics, we are mandated by our faith to treat each other with love and respect. In registering at St. Nicholas School, both students and parents agree to comply with and support the discipline policies and regulations, as outlined in the Code of Conduct.

School Crisis Management 

The Crisis Management Plan is intended to provide the school administration and staff an opportunity to prepare responses to a wide variety of emergencies. The plan gives specific attention to: issues of violence, threats upon persons or property, natural disasters, civil unrest, intruders, environmental disasters, contraband, and utilities failure. The Crisis Management Plan relies heavily upon the local school staff for implementation.

The primary members of the Crisis Management Team are the Pastor, school Principal, Secretaries, Custodian, and Teachers. Parents, local law enforcement and emergency service agencies may assist them. Each team member has a specific role and will have a written description of their duties as the plan is called into action. A copy of the Crisis Management Plan is also available in the school office.
