SRVUSD STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT FOR SCHOOL TRIPS

Grade 6-12

School-sponsored trips are planned with an educational objective. The success of these trips depends upon the conduct of all students who participate.

Participation in a school trip is a privilege. It should be noted that attendance is voluntary, not mandatory, and, as such, the student agrees to abide by the rules and regulations or forfeit his/her personal rights to participate in the trip. In order that everyone receives maximum benefit from their participation on this trip, the “Student Code of Conduct” must be adhered to at all times. There are standards for behavior that students are expected to uphold at all times. These include:

1. Respecting public and private property.

2. Obeying all policies of the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, school and organization in effect for the duration of the trip.

3. Conducting oneself in a courteous and respectful manner at all times.

4. Remaining in the presence of adult supervision at all times, unless explicit consent has been given by an adult supervisor.

5. Following directions and instructions of chaperones without fail.

6. Refraining from bringing, consuming, or being in the presence of drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Understanding that choosing to bring, consume, or be in the presence of others who are consuming will lead to suspension and/or expulsion, as well as immediate termination of the trip privilege. Consequences will be applied regardless of whether the student has brought or consumed alcohol, tobacco or drugs, or has associate with, or is in the presence of others who are consuming drugs, alcohol or tobacco.

7. Acquiring a physician’s written orders to carry and take any prescription medication.

8. Adhering to the trip dress code.

9. Abiding by the curfew established.

10. Spending each night in the assigned room.

a. No student may leave his/her room for any reason after lights are out without a chaperone’s permission and presence. The only exception to this rule is when all hotel guests are to respond immediately to a fire alarm or other emergency situation.

b. No student shall be in another student’s room when the other student is of the opposite gender, unless a chaperone is present.

11. Consenting to a luggage check by appropriate school staff prior to leaving for the field trip and upon return.

12. Allowing to a search of the room and personal belongings at any time deemed necessary by the appropriate school staff based on reasonable suspicion.

SRVHS Vocal Music Tour Rules SheetRemember that you are representing San Ramon Valley High School and our music department.

It is something to be proud of so we can maintain a tradition of quality.

l. Illegal Substances - No smoking, drugs or alcohol may be carried, concealed, or consumed at any time. Being 18 does not exclude you from this. Consequence of this action: your parents will be notified to either pick you up or we will send you home on any available transportation with cost burden on the parent.

2. Curfew - Curfew will be 10:00 unless otherwise notified. Students must be in rooms at that time. Lights out will be one hour after curfew. Consequence for being out of room after lights out will result in the loss of a free time activity or work duty.

3. Be Punctual - Promptness is vital if the tour is to run smoothly. We have to go in and out of high schools with maximum efficiency. Give yourself enough time to get ready and load the bus/vans. Be Prepared!

4. Respect Chaperones - No, they may not be your parents, but they are the adults in the position of responsibility and authority. Without these people we would not be able to go. Please use courtesy and cooperation.

5. Property - Students need to respect the facilities and property where they are staying. Any abuse to rooms must be paid for by students family. Also - no running in the halls, yelling, loudness, etc. Radios and TV’s should not be heard out into the hallway.

6 Common Sense - If you're unsure of something, ask about it first. The last word is never from another student, but from a chaperone or Mr. Abrams.

7. Opposite Sex (?) - A person of the opposite sex is NOT allowed in your hotel room UNLESS there is an adult chaperone present (as per district policy 2009)

8. Never Alone - At no time, other than in your hotel room, are you to be alone. You must stay in groups of at least two. Let your assigned chaperone know where you are going and an approximate time of return. It's no fun thinking someone is lost or stranded.

9. Visitors - All visitors must be cleared by Mr. Abrams in advance. You may not leave the tour for any reason unless this has been cleared with Mr. Abrams and only then if the parents have agreed. You must be released to them by Mr. Abrams.

10. Questions? - Bring them to your chaperone, don't leave any question to chance.

11. Other – Anything that wouldn’t be allowed at school or without parent consent is a definite No-No on an Abrams Tour. These include piercing, tattoos, etc.
