Students need to know their role in creating safe schools. They must not only know the rules, but understand the consequences that result from not following the rules. Parents and guardians can support the schools by reviewing the policies and practices outlined in these handbooks and by helping your children understand the need to both obey the rules and follow the guidelines. These handbooks are divided into sections which encompass attendance, instructional programs, academics, graduation requirements, extra-curricular activities, student records, health and safety, school safety, and transportation.  Nansemond Parkway's student handbook is compliant with the Suffolk Public Schools student handbook.
