All School staff, faculty and students are held to maintain a professional attitude as expressed in proper etiquette during both correspondence and personal interaction. This also applies when referring to faculty, staff and students.
Thus:
Faculty is always to be addressed by their last name preceded by the title "Professor", such as "Professor N." or "Prof. Dr. N." (if they hold a doctoral title); etc.
School staff is to be addressed by "Mr., Mrs." or "Ms." and their last name respectively, if they do not hold a title. In the latter case, their title is to be used instead. For example, "Dr. N."Â
Ordained staff is to be addressed with their respective title, such as "Rev.", "Fr." , "Bishop" etc. as customary.
Students can be addressed by their first (full) name, i.e. not casual versions. Example: "James" (instead of "Jim"); Michael (instead of "Mike"), etc.
