RULES AND REGULATIONS 2008-2009

1. All students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects well on themselves, their home, their school, and their community at all times. Students are expected to adhere to all school rules. They are expected to follow instructions of the administration, faculty members, bus drivers, and other school staff. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action by the school administration.
   
   
2. Disciplinary action by the administration may take the form of an administrative conference, a reprimand, behavior contract, anger management sessions, after school detention, “Thursday School”, in-school-suspension (ISS), or out-of-school suspension (OSS) depending on the degree and frequency of the misbehavior. Students may also be assigned to the Millington On-Site Intervention Program (MOSIP) for a period of up to 45 days.
   
   
3. Students and parents should be aware that in compliance with Shelby County School Policy, the school’s authority to discipline is not confined to activities on the school grounds or the time school is in session. Disciplinary action may occur as a result of misconduct that occurs beyond our campus such as at the bus stop, in the community center parking lots, at athletic contests, or at school-sponsored activities.
   
   
4. Any student who is suspended from school [OSS] is prohibited from attending or participating in any school-sponsored activities until the student has been properly readmitted to school. (Suspended students may attend summer school with principal permission).

6. In accordance with Tennessee State Law, lockers and other storage areas, containers, book bags, and packages brought on to campus by students or visitors are subject to search for drugs, drug paraphernalia, weapons or any property which is or is not properly in the possession of the student, including stolen property. Vehicles parked in school assigned parking areas (including the civic center) are also subject to search.
   
   
7. When a student has been assigned an excessive number (12) of referrals or days of in-school-suspension within the school year, any additional incidents will result in alternative forms of discipline such as out-of-school suspension or an alternative school program.
