Statement on Community Standards
"I am pleased to present BB&N’s Statement on Community
Standards which was developed by a committee of trustees, parents,
faculty, and students last year and endorsed by the Board of Trustees. There is a close
relationship between this Statement and our motto and mission statement. The Statement on Community
Standards clarifies our expectations for the behavior of all members
of the community".
- Rebecca T. Upham, Head of School
The BB&N motto, " Honor, Scholarship, and Kindness,"
presents the School's fundamental values and guides its mission
statement. In order to maintain an environment that fosters educational
excellence and personal growth, we have more fully articulated the
motto's implicit standards for all members of the BB&N community
(students, parents, faculty, administrators, staff and volunteers).
As members of the BB&N community, we affirm and will abide
by the following community standards: Each member of the BB&N community recognizes that honesty,
with regard to both academic and nonacademic issues, is central
to our mission. We will act with integrity in all our dealings with
one another, being trustworthy, honest and fair.
Each member of the BB&N community has a right to be treated
with civility and respect. We will refrain from and discourage behavior
that threatens the dignity of others.
Each member of the BB&N community has a right to expect that
personal information will be handled with appropriate consideration
and privacy. We will refrain from casual disclosures, which undermine
the respect and dignity guaranteed to all.
Each member of the BB&N community recognizes that diversity
of perspectives and experience enriches our community and the educational
process. We will act to create an environment where diversity is
welcomed and nurtured.
Each member of the BB&N community has a responsibility to
preserve the safety of its members, both on school grounds and off.
We will refrain from unsafe behaviors which threaten not only individual
well being, but also the health of the community.
Each member of the BB&N community has a responsibility to
protect personal, school and neighborhood property. We will exercise
proper care and regard for personal property and the property of
others.
