School Rules

 

 

The Pleasant Ridge School District affirms and appreciates each child’s uniqueness and encourages both the self-confidence to explore his/her own creativity as well as the discipline essential for learning. We expect our students to understand that character and integrity are as important as intellect. The Honor Code is intended to provide a firm ethical framework for all students in the Pleasant Ridge School District, and incorporates the Six Pillars of Character:
