Campus Safety & Regulations for
Students & Parents
Date Created: 08/28/2016
Why should we need the campus
safety and regulation training?
• It’s everyone’s responsibility, including students, parents and teachers,
to maintain a save and orderly campus environment for effective
teaching and learning.
• Our behavior represents the Chinese community. Let’s present a
positive image to the public.
• HCCS Sunday school has been using classrooms at Howard Community
College (HCC) and Saturday school will use classrooms at Centennial
High School (CHS). Supports from HCC and HCPSS are critical for our
school success.
• HCC and Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) asked our school
to strengthen the enforcement of school order and reduce safety risks.
• If there are any elements that are not compatible with the “Code of
Conduct for Students” and “Parents handbook”, please follow
the current regulations.
