    The Middle Years Programme

    Service As Action

    Service As Action (SA) is doing something to help make the world a better, more peaceful place! Service As Action is part of being a Middle Years Programme (MYP) student.  Even more importantly, it is part of being a caring, responsible member of your school, local and global communities. In the MYP, service as action starts in the classroom and extends beyond it, requiring you to take an active part in the communities you are a part of. At Walker, the expectation is:
    • Year 1 (6th grade) students will complete 5 hours of service
      • National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) members must complete 10 hours 
    • Year 2 (7th grade) students will complete 8 hours of service
      • National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) members must complete 10 hours
    • Year 3 (8th grade) students will complete 10 hours of service + the required Community Project.

    HCPS Student Code of Conduct

    Dear Hillsborough County Public Schools,

    Our Hillsborough County Public Schools Student Code of Conduct is reviewed and revised annually to reflect current Florida law and district policy. We invited a diverse group of parents/guardians, teachers, students, community members, and school administrators to look at our code of conduct and make recommendations. This document is a result of their work and commitment to our students' education and safety. We are certain that the yearly updates adjusted for the Student Code of Conduct will only improve the procedures currently in place.

    The HCPS Student Code of Conduct is designed to foster relationships with students and the community that are critical to school climate, where staff and students are positively engaged in the learning process and respect the rights of all individuals. Two components of the HCPS disciplinary system are the use of “Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports” and “Progressive Discipline” for all grades.

    If you have questions about the Hillsborough County Public Schools Student Code of Conduct, please contact the General Director of Student Conduct and Support, Mike Rowan at (813) 558-1100. We look forward to our continued teamwork in creating a positive and safe environment for our students to learn.

    Sincerely,

    Van Ayres

    Superintendent
