Notre Dame High School Student Conduct
"Any student who engages in any type of conduct, which results in a serious disciplinary infraction or which causes disruption or obstruction of any function, process or activity will be subject to suspension, probation or expulsion. Any behavior contrary to the values of Notre Dame may result in expulsion.
Although the school does not hold itself responsible for offenses committed outside of its jurisdiction, conduct which is detrimental to the reputation of the institution, or that hinders the advancement of the moral good of all students is sufficient cause for suspension and/or expulsion.
The School reserves the right to terminate, at any time, a student’s affiliation with the school if, in its judgment, a student’s record is unsatisfactory in studies or discipline, according to the established norms of the school. Also, a negative, spontaneous incident may result in suspension or expulsion. The school will take disciplinary action against any student whose conduct it judges to be unacceptable."

If your child is facing suspension, discipline or expulsion from a private or public school in Connecticut, your child has rights. You should protect those rights by hiring an experienced education law attorney. Often, but not always, disciplinary charges may be accompanied by an arrest or criminal investigation. The sooner you hire a lawyer, the better off your child will be in terms of ensuring the protection of rights, and the ultimate outcome. Your child will achieve the best outcome with an experienced Connecticut Expulsion Attorney, who can try to reduce the expulsion to a stipulated agreement or dismissal of charges altogether. The experienced Connecticut Expulsion Law attorneys at Maya Murphy, P.C. can help you and your child navigate the difficult and emotional process of an expulsion proceeding.
When a child violates a school policy - even if off school grounds - the violation can sometimes rise to the level of an expulsion from private or public school. An expulsion can negatively impact a child’s educational and emotional success. It can also sometimes affect college admissions if not handled by an experienced Connecticut Education lawyer familiar with handling expulsions and suspensions.
