Student Code of Conduct
An introduction to our philosophy, policies, and procedures is given in our Student Code of Conduct. We hope that this guide will answer many of your question about Pride Academy.
Please read this handbook completely and discuss it with your Pride Academy students. It is intended to help you understand how we operate, the commitments we make, and the expections that we have for our students. It is important that your child be familiar with our philosophy, adhere to our core values, and follow the code of conduct to be successful in school. We also hope that this guide will help you to support and reinforce our expectations at home.
Harassment
Pride Academy expects pupils and staff to treat others with civility and respect. A safe and civil environment in school is essential for students to learn and achieve high academic standards. Harassment, intimidation, and bullying like other disruptive or violent behaviors, interfere with pupils' ability to learn, the school's ability to educate, and employees' ability to work in an environment where all are safe and feel welcome.
The Pride Academy Student Code of Conduct and our Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying Policy prohibit such acts.
If you are a student victim, a witness, or the parent or guardian of a student victim and wish to report an incident of alleged harassment, intimidation or bullying, complete a Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying Report and return it to the Principal. Contact the school for additional information or assistance at any time at 973-672-3200.
Promotion and Graduation Requirements
To ensure that students at Pride Academy meet the required benchmarks of learning in their current grade, are prepared to take on the academic challenges of the next grade and be successful, the administration and faculty have developed a set of promotion and graduation standards. Please review them carefully with your child.

Computer and Internet Use Policy
Pride Academy believes that the use of technology and
computer-assisted communications is vital to our students' success.
Preserving access to computers and the Internet is a community effort
that requires each student, parent, and teacher to act responsibly and
guard against abuses. Therefore, both the school community as a whole and
each user have an obligation to abide by our standards of
acceptable and ethical
computer and intenet use.
Please read and review these policies.
