Our Lady of Refuge School (OLR) strives to reward and motivate positive, appropriate behavior in students; thereby, seeking to eliminate inappropriate behavior as much as possible. Good citizenship and appropriate behavior is expected of all students. OLR students must conduct themselves according to the expectations set forth in this Parent Student handbook. Conduct that materially disrupts class work or extracurricular activities or that involves substantial disorder will not be tolerated. Inappropriate conduct or behavior unbecoming a student in a Catholic school will result in a lower or poor conduct grade. A student's homeroom teacher assigns a conduct grade as a reflection of a student's compliance with class and school rules as well as demonstration of moral choices, acceptable behavior and good citizenship. Students' conduct grades, behavior and work habits are included on the midterm progress reports and trimester report cards as well as the students' cumulative (permanent) records.
