Safety is our number one priority at Weber Middle School. An environment which allows for optimum learning is one where mutual respect and appropriate behaviors are practiced.  In order to accomplish these goals, classroom and school rules have been developed to proactively create a safe school.

It is understood that adolescents are undergoing many changes and may not always make the best decisions.  Therefore, when an incident occurs, much time is spent with all parties involved helping them to understand the consequences of their behavior and its impact on the whole Weber family.  Expectations are clearly expressed to all students in all classes, at grade level assemblies, and during lunch time talks. Counselors, psychologists, the social worker, teachers, and administrators discuss all aspects of each incident.  Parents, students, and staff understand that positive changes in behavior occur when discipline is consistently applied.

Committees of Weber staff, parents, and students have reviewed and revised our disciplinary procedures; the outcome of this effort is reflected in our updated building-level Code of Conduct for Weber (“Weber Code”).  Please take time to discuss this document with your children.

In addition, please be sure to familiarize yourself with, and discuss with your children, the Port Washington School District’s overarching Code of Conduct (“District Code”), since the Weber Code is designed to supplement, not supplant, the District Code. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the District Code and the Weber Code, the District Code shall prevail and take precedence over the Weber Code for all purposes.
