school rules

Student conduct code

School rules are the regulations and behavioral expectations that govern conduct within an educational institution.

These typically cover matters like attendance, dress codes, use of electronic devices, and treatment of others.

The phrase often appears in contexts of enforcement or violation: He got detention for breaking school rules.

School rules can range from common-sense safety measures to seemingly arbitrary restrictions that students find oppressive or outdated.
