In general, rules of conduct apply to students while they are on campus or at a school sponsored event such as an athletic event, dance, or field trip. However, the school reserves the right to impose disciplinary consequences on any student whose conduct at any time or place has a negative effect on school climate or discipline, threatens the safety and welfare of others, or damages the reputation of the school. In particular, off-campus harassment of NYA students by other NYA students, whether in person or online through email, Facebook or any other means, will be considered a severe misconduct and handled accordingly (see Student Harassment Policy).
