Students and parents are strongly encouraged to study the Broward County Code of Student Conduct. This booklet lists the District’s rules for students in Broward County. The rules apply to all activities occurring on school grounds, on other sites being used for school activities, and on any vehicles authorized to transport students. 

Broward County has a Zero Tolerance Policy. At no time is it appropriate for any student to possess or bring a weapon of any kind onto a school campus. Any student who is determined to have brought a firearm or knife to school, to any school function, or on any school-sponsored transportation will be recommended for expulsion. Toy guns, ammunition, and any tools or instruments used in a threatening way have been added to the list of Class B weapons. 

At no time are students allowed to possess, use, sell, or transmit drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products. They may not possess drug paraphernalia or transmit over-the-counter medications. Violation of District drug and substance abuse policies could lead to suspension or possible expulsion.

Call 911 immediately in an emergency.

Report an Absence Online

According to SBBC Policy 5.5: All students under 16 are required to attend school every day of the 180-day school year. Absences are established by tardiness, early sign-outs, or absences for all or part of any day. The maximum number of acceptable absences is 5 days. 

1. Parents have 2 days (48 hours) in which to report an absence.
2. The Attendance Policy allows eight (8) reasons for absence to be excused.
3. Make up work for credit and grade is allowed for ALL absences. Learn more about Homework/Makeup Work.

Sign-outs, excused absences, and tardies will now be used to determine patterns of non-attendance. If a student is out of class 30 hours (5 days) in any marking period or 60 hours (10 days) within 90 days, the student will be out of compliance. Sanctions may include: 

• Loss of academic credit 
• Referral to social services 
• Suspension of driver’s license 
• Court appearance by parent 
• Suspension of TANF payments 

Sign In/Sign Outs

A parent, guardian, or designated person on the emergency card must come into the Attendance Office to sign the student out. If the person is not listed on the emergency card, they will not be permitted to sign the student out. The sign-in/sign-out will be excused depending on the reason. A student can not be signed out by way of a phone call from the parent, guardian, or the designated person. Students who leave campus without signing out will be considered unexcused.

All Broward County Public Schools conduct regular exercises and drills at various times as outlined in the Florida Fire Code and Florida Administrative Code.

To aid in this process, every school has a designated SAFE team comprised of faculty and staff who have been specially trained on appropriate procedures to ensure every school follows safety protocol.

Discussion-based tabletop exercises are also conducted regularly with staff, faculty, and community partners, and the results of these exercises are documented and incorporated into school safety plans as necessary.  

All public schools are required to conduct one (1) fire drill per month with one (1) additional occurring within the first 30 days. Additionally, public schools are required to conduct, at a minimum, six (6) emergency drills every school year that are nonconcurrent with fire drills. One emergency drill must take place within the first ten (10) days of the beginning of the school year, and the remaining drills may not occur more than forty-five (45) days apart. Four (4) of the six (6) emergency drills must address active threats. The remaining two (2) drills must address other emergency events, such as severe weather, natural disasters, hazardous materials incidents, or reunification.

Students are expected to fully participate in drills and follow the directions of faculty and staff.

The dress code rules enforced at our school align directly with the District's Unified School Dress - Policy 5309. Review the District policies outlined on this page for more information.

Found items are to be turned into security. Books will be returned to the assigned teacher if the teacher's and student's names are not listed in the book.
