For the Grown-Up Attendees (Set the Tone):

  • Be a Role Model: Show our kids how to handle crowds, lines, and rules with patience. Use positive communication and appropriate tones and words towards your children and others.
  • Eyes on Your Crew: Parents are responsible for the supervision of their own children at all times. Please ensure they stay within designated event areas and follow all event rules.
  • Respect the Space: We are guests in this building. Help us keep it clean by properly disposing of trash and following all posted or issued venue rules.
  • Kindness Counts: Treat volunteers, staff, and other families with courtesy. If a conflict arises, seek out a PTA Board Member and keep all conversation appropriate and courteous as children may be listening.

 For the Students (Do Your Part):

  •  Follow the Leader: Listen to instructions from all adults, including parent volunteers.

 Zero Tolerance Policy:

 

To ensure everyone's safety, the following are strictly prohibited for all attendees, whether student, parent, or PTA Board Member/Volunteers, and will result in immediate removal from the event, suspension from future events, or expulsion from the PTA at the sole discretion of the PTA Executive Board:

  • Tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, or illegal substances on school grounds.
  • Harassment, aggressive language, physical threats or contact, or any other behavior that causes fear of imminent harm, whether it is between students, parents, or aimed at a PTA volunteer.
  • Intentional damage to school or personal property.
  • For events where registration is required and monitored, only registered students are permitted to attend and no friends, siblings, or other guests may enter the event without appropriate registration or prior authorization from the PTA Board.
