Dear Jaguars,

Our PTA was tasked to develop a framework of guidelines and consequences for all PTA-sponsored events and activities at JM. These guidelines were developed to ensure a safe environment for our students, parent volunteers, staff, and instructors who help us run programs at JM.

Please read carefully through the information below, as all students and families are expected to agree and adhere to this framework if they want to participate in PTA-sponsored activities and events.

DISCLAIMER

• We reserve the right to have the flexibility on how to handle consequences based on the shown behavior and situation
• We will evaluate behavior within one school year
• All PTA board members and volunteers involved in a situation requiring the
• implementation of these consequences, follow the request of confidentiality as stipulated by the MSD guidelines to respect a family’s privacy.

Students are expected to:

• Show respectful behavior towards others (verbal, body language)
• Limit cell phone usage (emergency, parents, pictures with consent)
• Stay within the designated area (no running off!) & check in with the chaperone/instructor, if they need a break
• Follow the established school PBIS rules - “be safe, be respectful, be responsible”
• Listen and follow the directions given by adults (chaperones/instructor)
• Partake in the purpose of the event with a reasonable amount of fidelity.
• All students need a signed waiver! 

CONSEQUENCES

• 1st Time: Reminder of guidelines
• 2nd Time: Reminder of guidelines and take a break
• 3rd Time: Reminder of guidelines, take a break written note to family
• 4th Time: A conference with PTA leadership, school admin and the family may be necessary. The student may be unable to attend future events or a parent may be asked to chaperone to ensure compliance with the behavioral guidelines
