It is important for you to know that when you report incidents of this nature to the school, every effort will be made to keep the information and your identity confidential. Academic Problems - For help with an academic problem: 1. See the teacher who teaches the subject. Go to teachers on a personal, one- to-one basis. If they can help, they generally will be glad to do so. They will welcome you and may ask for further conferences with you and/or your parents. 2. Further help can be obtained through the guidance counselor. 3. For problems that are still not solved after you have talked with the guidance counselor, discuss the matter with your parents and with the Dean of Students, Assistant Principal, or Principal. Your parents may wish to join you in talking with the principal. Choices Academy Code of Conduct The students, faculty, and staff of the Choices Academy community are committed to creating an environment of academic integrity and personal character that affirms honesty, responsibility, and effort. We believe that an essential part of education and citizenship is developing a sense of responsibility and fairness by encouraging principled actions. Our goal is to foster the growth of each student's self-respect through academic integrity and ethical behavior and to encourage honest and trustworthy conduct in all curriculars, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities. The Code of Conduct provides students, faculty, staff, and parents with specific expectations for ethical conduct and behavior, as well as clear and uniform consequences that promote development of character through interventions and appropriate penalties. The Wicomico County Code of Conduct can be found at 2025-2026 WCPS Student Handbook Consequences The success of the Code of Conduct relies in part on the enforcement of uniform consequences. Teachers, administrators, and Academic Integrity Counselors agree to abide by the progressive penalties and rehabilitation programs described herein. The consequences will be consistent and fair. The Code of Conduct provides guidelines for consequences based on the actions of the student. Choices Academy Level System Students can earn 20 points a day.
