The Addison Northwest Supervisory Union recognizes its public trust and responsibility to provide an appropriate education to each student served in our schools, within the resources available.

The district shall provide equal educational opportunity and treatment for all students without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, sex, marital status, or physical, sensory, or mental handicaps.

In pursuing the educational opportunities furnished by the schools, students and their parents/guardians are encouraged to assume partnership responsibilities. Students must abide by reasonable rules of order, and at the same time expect corrective action will be fairly meted out. Discipline's purpose should be to modify errant behavior rather than to punish.

Parents are also encouraged to communicate with the schools regarding the education of their children in order to reinforce student learning.

As partners in the education process, parents and the school personnel can better provide for the intellectual and physical well being of all students.
