Understanding Your Rights and Responsibilities
Students’ Rights—What to Expect
Students can expect their rights to be respected every day at school. This includes:
Safety
A school environment that prioritizes safety and respect.
Support
Access to accommodations if they need help with learning or participation, and help/support if your child is discriminated against.
Input
Opportunities to share ideas and concerns respectfully.
Identity
Express their identity (in ways that do not discriminate against others) and have their identity reflected in their learning.
Example
A student who reports bullying is listened to, supported, and included in decisions about how to keep them safe while their identity is respected in the classroom, and corrective action is taken to address the situation.
