Mead Student Code of Conduct

In order to provide a quality learning environment in schools, appropriate student behavior is necessary. The vast majority of students are cooperative and dedicated to making constructive progress in school and their efforts are appreciated. We want students and parents to realize that the elementary, middle and high schools will consistently require that ALL students adhere to these shared expectations for student behavior. Parents are asked to cooperate with school personnel in setting the correct school environment to be safe, secure and pleasant so optimum learning can take place.

ALL students will do the following, whether on campus, on a bus or vehicle, or at a school-sponsored activity:

• Arrive at school and class on time, prepared to engage in active learning with appropriate homework assignments and materials.
• Follow directions given by any staff member or individual in authority.
• Demonstrate courtesy and respect toward themselves, other students, guests, staff members and substitute teachers, as well as respect for school property and equipment.
• Exhibit quiet and appropriate hallway behavior.
• Students are not allowed to hold hands, kiss or have inappropriate or prolonged hugs. There should be no inappropriate touching anywhere on school grounds or during any school sponsored events.
• Refrain from using inappropriate language, including profanity, racial slurs and name-calling and writing graffiti signs and symbols with gang association.
• Refrain from distributing printed literature that describes anti-social views, racial or ethnic bigotry or racial supremacy.
• All cell phones will be powered down from 7:30am to 3:10pm and placed in student locker(s).
• Refrain from having or using tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, or any illegal substances.
• Dress appropriately in a manner which does not detract from the educational process. Hats will not be worn in the building, and students will refrain from wearing any clothing, buttons, or pins with inappropriate or suggestive slogans.
• Refrain from bringing weapons of any kind to school.
• Refrain from fighting.
• Leave all toys, and blankets at home.
• Remain calm, quiet and attentive during fire, tornado, and crisis drills/real thing.
