Student Code of Conduct

About the Code of Conduct

Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) has developed and annually updates the Uniform Code of Student Conduct to provide students, parents, and staff with a clear outline of students’ rights and behavioral expectations. These expectations, along with the District’s Vision, Mission and Goals, will help us continue to provide the highest quality education possible.

The purpose of the Uniform Code of Conduct is to establish a standard of conduct for the Scottsdale Unified School District which will provide the best possible educational climate for the students, faculty, staff, and general public; encourage participation in the educational process by the general public; assure the safety of the students and staff; protect school district property; and honor and protect the rights of all individuals within the school community.

Please be advised that the 2023-2024 SUSD Code of Conduct remains in effect.
