The Saint Kilian Catholic School Discipline Policy (available on the Parent Portal) has been designed to help students grow in understanding of their Christian responsibility to themselves and others. The Celtic Way encourages each student to assume responsibility for their actions, develop self-control and accept responsibility and consequences for inappropriate behavior. All students will have the opportunity to learn the behaviors expected of them and use those behaviors on a regular basis toward the goal of becoming an effective "self-manager."
The Celtic Way behavior expectations include five core values or "virtues". Outlined below are the five virtues and examples of each. These virtues are taught to all students at the start of the school year and posted throughout the building as easy reminders for the students. It is expected that students utilize these virtues in all interactions throughout the school day, from classroom, to lunchroom, to recess, between classes, before and after school while on the school grounds and during school athletic events.
