Keep the classroom and surrounding area clean, orderly, and accessible for all. This includes maintaining a sensible noise level when talking and conversing. Any area or space on site will potentially be needed by other students, teachers, parents, or guests. Learning students should understand the difference between &ldquo;personal&rdquo; and &ldquo;public&rdquo; and take care of both.</span></li></ol><p class="c7"><span class="c4">Temporary cleanliness can be sacrificed for the sake of efficiency.

Students should not be sitting on top of each other, laying on each other, holding hands, or displaying physical contact outside of what might be normally expected, regardless of gender. &nbsp;Standards for physical behavior on the premises will be the same as norms of public behavior in society. If students are not sure about what is acceptable behavior, they are welcome to inquire with a teacher first. Students in uniform outside of This School or representing This School in any fashion will be held to the same standards.</span></li></ol><p class="c0"><span class="c2"></span></p><p class="c7"><span class="c4">It is fine if they know each other very well.</span></p><p class="c0 c6"><span class="c2"></span></p><ol class="c3 lst-kix_r5g1b9awph25-0" start="8"><li class="c7 c8 c9 li-bullet-0"><span class="c5">Students may not miss class for any reason other than sickness.

When needed, parents may be asked to come for a meeting regarding this, or other similar issues. *In some special circumstances, a student may have their parent or guardian apply for leave before the absence. This absence must be approved beforehand in order to be considered a valid reason absence. Going on vacation early or coming back late are not valid reasons to miss classes, and student assessment results will also reflect this. Attending outside classes or tests are also not acceptable reasons to miss class.</span></li></ol><p class="c0"><span class="c2"></span></p><p class="c7"><span class="c4">I sometimes need to visit the hospital for checkups even if I am not sick.</span></p><p class="c0"><span class="c2"></span></p><ol class="c3 lst-kix_r5g1b9awph25-0" start="9"><li class="c7 c8 c9 li-bullet-0"><span class="c2">No cigarettes, alcohol, or illegal substances are allowed to be used or possessed on premises, during the day, or when in This School uniform. Of course, we also hope that students will stay away from any and all unhealthy or dangerous practices in everyday life as well. Infractions such as these will result in a set period suspension and a mandatory parent meeting. Regardless of a student&rsquo;s age or adulthood status, learning students will not use or be in possession of any alcohol or tobacco products on premises, during learning activities, or at any time when they may be understood to be a representative of This School.

This absence must be approved beforehand in order to be considered a valid reason absence. Going on vacation early or coming back late are not valid reasons to miss classes, and student assessment results will also reflect this.

Regardless of a student&rsquo;s age or adulthood status, learning students will not use or be in possession of any alcohol or tobacco products on premises, during learning activities, or at any time when they may be understood to be a representative of This School.
