are the heart of Valley’s strong tradition
of success. A majority of the student body participates in activities
outside the classroom. Our students have access to a wide variety
of activities including speech and debate, mock trial, student government,
world language clubs, literary magazine, newspaper, yearbook and
radio. KWDM, the student-run radio station, broadcasts on weekdays
and covers many school athletic events.
The West Des Moines Community School District strives to develop
each student’s potential and to foster positive interpersonal
relationships. Essential to the achievement of these goals is reasonable
and necessary order, which will result only through good discipline.
To that end, the district has codes of conduct governing the actions
of all of its students. These codes outline the expectations for
acceptable conduct in the areas of academics, attendance and discipline.
The Board of Education of the West Des Moines Community School
District affirms its support of the student responsibility and discipline
policies, affirms its intent to support staff who enforce these
policies and affirms its intent to hold staff accountable for implementing
these policies.
A Student Activity Conduct Code outlines further expectations for
those who participate in activities. Participation in an activity
program is a privilege granted to students displaying the interest
and talent the activity requires. These students serve as representatives
of our district to their peers, to the public within our district,
and to other school districts. Because of the responsibility inherent
in representing the West Des Moines Community School District, a
higher level of conduct is demanded of those students than is expected
of the general student population.
It should be clearly understood that students who participate in
activities may not use alcohol, tobacco, or controlled substances
at any time in any location to remain eligible.
