Student Handbook & Code of Conduct
The Sherman ISD Student Handbook is a general reference guide that outlines rights as specified in state or federal law as well as certain district policies, procedures, and rules. In addition, our secondary schools publish student information guides as an additional resource for students and families about school expectations and other helpful information.
The Student Code of Conduct is a guide for discipline management. In accordance with state law, it is made available to all families through the Sherman ISD website. All parents/guardians complete an acknowledgment accepting responsibility for accessing the Student Code of Conduct each year as part of the student registration process. Should internet access not be available, a printed copy will be provided upon request. English and Spanish versions will be made available.
Student Discipline
The school principal at each campus acts as the campus behavior coordinator responsible for maintaining student discipline, implementing disciplinary actions for student misconduct and acting as a point of contact for behavioral issues.
