Patriotism and Respect for the Flag at Voyage Academy

The Flag of the United States of America shall be appropriately displayed at all schools in keeping with customary and accepted practices. Students shall show proper respect for their country's emblem. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag shall be recited at the beginning of each day in each public-school classroom, led by a student in the classroom as assigned by the classroom teacher on a rotating basis. 

At least once per year, students shall be instructed that participation in the Pledge is voluntary and not compulsory, and students should show respect for any student who chooses not to participate.  A student may be excused from reciting the Pledge upon written request from the student’s parent or legal guardian.   Discourteous treatment of the flag or other national symbols shall be cause for disciplinary action.
