Consequences

The personal attention we offer at MVAS allows us to work together to understand how our speech, our clothes, our attitudes and our actions combine to make our MVAS culture, a culture of support, and a code of courteous conduct, that gives us what we need to dream, design and create on our pathways to graduation and lifetime success and happiness. However, building a school culture takes time. We all need to do our part to build a respectful and enjoyable culture.

Students who are disrespectful in word or deed, to any other student or adult in the entire complex may be referred to administration. Parents will be contacted, and appropriate community support and resources identified, when possible. Detentions, community service options, and school service options can be imposed if the seriousness of the offensive act warrants said sanctions.

Students or anyone else may be sent to the nurses or counseling office to change their clothing. Any faculty or adult staff member may send a student to administration or to the student peer review board (when it is created) to make a decision about the appropriateness of a student’s speech or action.

Repeated incidences of hostile or disrespectful speech or action, including bad clothing decisions, will lead to escalating disciplinary action.

Once again, MVAS students are reminded to follow the teacher’s directions and always pursue your rights to fair communication, after the fact, and with the help of your advisor, a peer mediator, or an administrator.
