In addition to the following disciplinary consequences, Code violations may also result in loss of privileges in celebratory functions, recognition dinners, scholarships and/or awards. A student in violation of the Code will face consequences for all extra-curricular activities in which he or she is involved. The Code provides a minimum standard of conduct and guidance when addressing certain behaviors. It does not and cannot enumerate each and every situation or conduct for which discipline may be imposed. INTERSCHOLASTIC AND CLUB ATHLETICS First Offense: Suspension for up to 50% of the season and removed from captain status. Second Offense: Dismissal from the team/athletic program for one calendar year. Third Offense: Loss of privilege of participation in all athletics for the remainder of high school career. STUDENT ACTIVITIES PROGRAM: CLUBS & ORGANIZATIONS A student who has had a code violation, in or outside of school, may not run for any class office or elected leadership position if the violation occurred within the same school year in which he or she is planning on running for that office or position.

Third Offense: Loss of privilege of participation in all non-curricular performing arts activities for the remainder of high school career. GUIDelInes foR sCHool sUsPensIons In addition to the consequences imposed by the Athletic Director, the Athletic Coordinator, or the Coordinators of Student Activities and Performing Arts, students suspended from school are not permitted to participate in practices, rehearsals, meetings, contests or performances during the period of suspension. Students may not participate in a practice, rehearsal, contest or performance if it conflicts with an assigned school penalty (e.g., detention, Saturday School, etc.) Students in violation of drug or alcohol violations are required to meet with the Student Assistance Coordinator before returning to the activity full time. For safety concerns, an assessment by an outside certified agency may be required before a student is allowed to continue in the activity.
oPTIons RelaTeD To ConseQUenCes foR DRUG/alCoHol VIolaTIons Under certain circumstances, students in violation of the Code for substance abuse may be offered the option to participate in a recognized, community-based program. These programs are designed to provide education to the student and parents, to encourage the student to evaluate the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse on his/her behavior and education, and to provide support and referral services to students and their families. If a student chooses to enroll in such a program, the suspension from the extracurricular activity may be lessened. The Athletic Director or the Coordinators of Student Activities and Performing Arts, and the Student Assistance Coordinators will make such decisions. Participation in these programs will not be grounds for reinstatement of leadership positions. The programs, conducted by certified addictions counselors, include both assessment and referral components. Participation in these programs is voluntary and at the student’s sole expense. VOLUNTARY ADMISSION BY STUDENT Voluntary admission of a first offense Code violation related to alcohol and/or drugs, will not result in loss of extracurricular participation, and consequences will be held in abeyance if the student cooperates with the recommended plan. A mandatory meeting will be held with the Athletic Director, the Activities Coordinator or the Performing Arts Coordinator, any other school personnel deemed appropriate, and the parents and/or guardians of the student. The purpose of this provision is to provide help for the student. A specific plan for providing counseling or other forms of assistance will be designed as a cooperative result of this meeting. Voluntary admission must occur prior to any school personnel, or police being aware of the incident n e W t r i e r S t u d e n t A c t i v i t i e S P r o g r A m 2 0 1 2 - 2 0 1 3 PA g e 2 1 e x t r A c u r r i c u l A r c o d e and the student’s involvement.

PROCEDURE Prior to the imposition of disciplinary action, the student shall be provided oral or written notice of the charges. If the student denies the charges, the student shall be given an explanation of the evidence and an opportunity to present his or her version of the incident.
