CODE OF CONDUCT

A “Code of Conduct” is a statement about how we work together.  It outlines both our rights and our responsibilities as members of Centre Mountain Lellum.  A committee of students, parents, and school staff developed our “Code” in accordance with School District 62 Policy and the B.C. Human Rights Code.  Information was collected from all groups and put together to make the Code of Conduct.
