EXPECTATIONS FOR JFK STUDENTS
It is important for you to realize that John F. Kennedy Middle School belongs to all of us - to you,
to your teachers and to all the people of Enfield. We are proud of our pupils, our building and its
grounds; we are proud of the high quality of instruction offered here. In fact, we are proud of
everything connected with JFK. With partial ownership of JFK comes responsibility and certain
behavioral expectations. JFK students are expected to behave and conduct themselves in a manner
that brings honor to our school and to their parents. We expect you to conduct yourselves
appropriately with regard to the following areas:
BUSES
As stated in the bus transportation policy of the Enfield Board of Education (5131.1), bus
transportation is not an unlimited right granted the student. Of utmost importance is the safety of
everyone on the bus or at the bus stop. Thus, students will be held to reasonable regulations,
which, if not followed, may cause them to be excluded from bus transportation. The school
administration, authorized by the Board of Education in this same policy, will “suspend
transportation services for any student whose conduct while awaiting or receiving transportation
to and from school endangers persons or property.” Any behavior that may distract the bus driver
or infringe upon the rights of other students will also result in disciplinary action, including
suspension from school.
The rules for the conduct of students using the school buses are as follows:
1. Students shall always be courteous to the bus driver and follow his/her instructions.
