 | 5.1 School Attire
The school attire regulations of Marist School are designed to promote an atmosphere on campus that is appropriate for a school setting. These regulations are intended to reduce distractions and to encourage students to focus on their academic responsibilities. Additionally, the Marist uniform is a symbol of unity and respect for the history and traditions of the school. For all of these reasons, students are expected to wear the school uniform correctly, and parents are expected to support these regulations.
The school uniform is to be worn properly from the time students arrive on campus until the time they leave. Students are encouraged to change clothing after school if they are to be on campus for an extended time. The blazer does not need to be worn before or after school.
Summer uniform requirements are in place for all students while on campus. Circumstances may arise that make wearing the school uniform impossible. A written note from the parent or guardian explaining the situation should be submitted to the Dean of Students before school starts. Failure to present the note will result in a work detail, detention, or demerits. If the non-uniform situation will be prolonged, a doctor’s note may be required.
Tattoos and body piercing (apart from pierced earrings) are not considered to be consisitent with the uniform code. Therefore, students should not obtain tattoos or have their bodies pierced. The school reserves the right to discipline students who violate this rule and who refuse to remedy the situation.
Boys and girls are expected to be neatly groomed at all times.Unusual or dyed hairstyles are not permitted. Boys are expected to be clean-shaven at all times with hair cut (not pushed backed) to not exceed the eyebrows, the top of the shirt collar, or the bottom of the ears; no beards, tails, mustaches, or sideburns below mid-ear.
Both students and parents share the responsibility for choosing the appropiate classroom attire. Students are expected to use good judgement, respect themselves and others, and demonstrate modesty in selecting attire.
Violations of uniform regulations will result in the assignment of a work detail, detention, or demerits. Repeated or extreme violations may result in the student being sent home until the infraction is corrected. Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2, and 5.1.3 describe Marist’s regulations for student dress and appearance, but no such presentation can realistically cover every aspect of the school’s expectations. Therefore, students and parents must understand that the Dean of Students is the final judge regarding all uniform and appearance decisions.

Any student determined to have an illegally-parked car may face permanent forfeiture of the on-campus parking privilege. Any car driven by a student, even if for only one day, must have its make, model, and tag number registered in the Dean of Students’ Office before the start of school. If the Dean of Students deems that a student’s driving habits are unsafe, he/she may be restricted from driving on campus. The main drive in and out of school is a “no cell phone zone” for the safety of all concerned. Students are not to be using a cell phone while entering or leaving the campus.
Sophomores are permitted to register with the YMCA to park in a limited number of spaces. Students must register with the Dean of Students and the YMCA director. A contract will be provided by the YMCA.

5.3 Boundaries
During school hours, students are to be in the location called for by their schedule. Prior to school and during lunch, students may use only these areas: the cafeteria, the library, the computer center, the arcade under the Chanel Building, the Alumni Plaza between Kuhrt Gymnasium and the Library, and the Esmond Brady Chapel. Juniors and seniors assigned to study hall may also use the lower cafeteria and the McDonough Courtyard. All other areas, especially the parking lot and classroom hallways and stairwells, are out of bounds unless accompanied by a teacher. During lunch, students should not be in the hallways where classes are in session.
5.3.1 Open Campus:
Open campus is a privilege extended to those seniors who have a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 and no F’s in the previous term. Those seniors who have a regular study hall may leave the campus during that period. Seniors must sign in/out with the Assistant Dean of Students in Kuhrt Gym. Seniors may not leave campus during their lunch period unless the lunch period occurs during their study hall. In addition, a letter of permission from parents to use this privilege must be on file with the Dean of Students. Any violation will result in permanent forfeiture of this privilege. Seniors on Disciplinary Warning or Probation will not have open campus during these periods. Seniors with third lunch that is followed by their study hall must remain on campus until their study hall begins. Excessive tardies as determined by the Dean of Students may result in the temporary or permanent loss of open campus.
5.3.2 Parking Lot:
The parking lot is out of bounds at all times except for persons about to enter or leave the campus. Presence in the student parking lot without permission of the Dean of Students will result in five demerits. While Marist provides a parking area, the school is not responsible for damages and theft there. Individuals use the lot at their own risk and should always lock their cars. Students are not to use automobiles to store items that should be kept in school lockers or bag drop areas nor are they to use the parking lot as a dressing area at any time.
5.3.3 Gymnasiums and Aquatic Center:
During school hours, the gymnasiums and aquatic center are physical education classrooms. Students not in regular class may not use these areas for recreation or relaxation. After school hours, the areas are available to students provided there is a faculty supervisor present.

Students may not use weight rooms without the supervision of a faculty member. Students violating this policy are subject to the penalty for “out of bounds.”
5.3.5 Clinic:
When students are ill, they should come to the clinic in the administration area of the Bishop Gunn building. Clinic visits during class time require a teacher’s permission slip, which is to be signed by the nurse and returned to the teacher. Students may not leave the campus because of illness without permission of the Dean of Students or nurse.
All medicines must be kept in and dispensed from the clinic. Medications need to be in their own container, marked with dosage, and students must come to the clinic to receive the medicine. Students in possession of medicine outside the clinic, or dispensing medicines to other students, will be subject to disciplinary action.

Fines on regular check-outs are 5 cents per day; on reserve and reference books, 25 cents per period; on periodicals, 5 cents per period. Students must clear all library obligations prior to the end of each term or face disciplinary action.

The cafeteria, besides being a lunchroom, is also a place where good social relations can be developed. Each student is expected to practice good manners and personal responsibility in the cafeteria. Simple rules of courteous behavior include leaving the table and the surrounding area clean and orderly, replacing chairs, and putting trash in the proper containers. Students should not sit on the tables in the cafeteria at any time. Students, with the exception of juniors and seniors, are to eat and drink only in the cafeteria. "No food, drink, or water is to be taken outside during the school day nor brought into any building except the cafeteria at any time. Water, in clear plastic Nalgenes sold at Marist School, may be brought for consumption to classes in most cases. The individual teacher will set guidelines for their particular. However, no containers are to be brought into the library or computer labs."
All students will be assigned cafeteria duty through homeroom. Students in the designated homeroom must sign in and sign out with the cafeteria monitor each day they are on duty. Students on duty should not leave the cafeteria until they have been dismissed by the monitor. Students who fail to report for cafeteria duty will receive a minimum of three demerits or one week of cafeteria duty.
The cafeteria will be open after school from 2:55 p.m until 3:15 p.m. as often as possible for the purpose of purchasing food from the vending machines. Students must buy their food and leave immediately. Food may be eaten in the arcade after school, but students are not allowed to take food into any building after school. Students should be aware that the cafeteria will not be open after school occasionally and should listen for announcements.

5.5 Conduct - Major Infractions
In every well-ordered community, it is necessary to have regulations for the guidance of the members of that community. Without such regulations there would be no order, and the common good of the community would suffer. Any listing of infractions or consequences is not intended to be exhaustive. Discipline is issued after careful consideration of the welfare of both the individual student and the school community.
Violations of school rules categorized as “Major Infractions” are particularly damaging to the student’s personal development and to the welfare of the entire school community. While the minimum number of demerits and other consequences are listed in the following sections according to the specific infraction, such listings reflect only the minimum. The school reserves the right to assign more demerits, suspend, or even dismiss a student who commits such an infraction. A major infraction will also jeopardize eligibility for and membership in extracurricular activities, including sports, National Honor Society, Peer Leader, Peer Support Facilitator, Retreat Leadership positions, and Student Government. Particularly serious infractions may also result in prosecution.
A second occurrence of any offense categorized as a “Major Infraction” at any time during a student’s career at Marist, even if different from the first offense, is considered grounds for dismissal. However, a second occurrence of a major infraction within a calendar year normally results in dismissal. Students not dismissed for a second major infraction may be placed on Disciplinary Probation. Students and parents should refer to Section 2.4 for policies regarding off-campus conduct, which may also be considered a major infraction. Students may be suspended pending a Disciplinary Committee hearing.
Any student who receives twenty demerits for a single infraction will incur a one day suspension. This suspension may be in-school or off the property as determined by the Principal and/or the Dean of Students. ( Please refer to the Disclosure Policy found in section 4.7 of the Marist Parent/Student Handbook.) Marist School reserves the right to suspend a student for an infraction of twenty demerits or less. The suspension will be imposed by the Principal or the Dean of Students.
5.5.1 Weapons:
It is the policy of Marist School to maintain a safe and secure learning environment. In striving to do so, Marist takes the position of zero tolerance for weapons in the school. All weapons, or instruments that have the appearance of a weapon, are prohibited in all school environments including, but not limited to, the school campus, parking lot and locker areas, leased or rented facilities, school-sponsored activities, field trips, athletic events, and school and rented vehicles. Exceptions to this policy may be made only in advance and only by the Principal. Any student found to be in violation of this policy is subject to immediate dismissal. Pursuant to Georgia Law 20-2 1184, Marist may also report violations of this policy to appropriate civil authorities.
5.5.2 Alcoholic Beverages and Drugs:
It is against the law for individuals under the age of twenty-one to be under the influence of, to use, to purchase, or to be in possession of alcoholic beverages. It is also against the law for individuals at any age to use, to be under the influence of, to possess, to purchase, or to distribute illegal drugs. Such behavior by students at any time on campus or while attending a Marist school function is strictly prohibited. The quantity and/or particular kind of illegal substance is of little significance; minimal possession or minimal consumption are violations, just as are possession or consumption of larger quantities. The possession of drug-related paraphernalia is also strictly prohibited. A school function is any activity in which the name of Marist is used, whether the activity is on or off campus.
Violations of this policy are grounds for dismissal from Marist. Students not immediately dismissed will be assigned a minimum of twenty demerits, will be placed on Disciplinary Probation, and will incur a one day suspension. Students will also be required to undergo a school-approved professional drug/alcohol assessment and must give their consent to future school-initiated drug/alcohol testing. Failure to complete the assessment or positive results from subsequent testing are grounds for dismissal from Marist.
Marist School has the right to require a student suspected of using a controlled substance or alcohol to be evaluated at any time by a physician, medical technician, or law enforcement officer, or to submit to laboratory tests, breath tests, or other tests at the sole discretion of school authorities. Offenders are subject to the policies of the Marist School Parent/Student Handbook. Refusal to cooperate in the required assessment will be construed as equivalence of guilt, and appropriate sanctions would be applied as a result.
5.5.3 Honesty:
The school motto Sub Mariae Nomine, or “under the name of Mary”, calls the school community to view Mary as its model and to follow the teachings of her son Jesus. In Luke 10:27, Jesus says “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” And Esphesians 4:25 states “see to it then, that you put an end to lying; let everyone speak the truth to his neighbor, for we are members of one another.” Dishonesty is an offense against God and one another that weakens the Marist School community and undermines the dignity of the individual who is dishonest.
Therefore, it is expected that students will not engage in the following activities:
Cheating: To possess or provide unauthorized information about a homework or class assignment, quiz, test, report, paper, or exam that could result in an unfair advantage on that work.
Plagiarism: To represent as one’s own the words or ideas of another person or source, through either verbatim copying or paraphrasing, without using an appropriate citation. Please see the detailed examples in section 9.
Plagiarism screening/Turnitin.com: Students should expect that Marist teachers will use online databases and search engines, such as www.turnitin.com, in determining if a work is plagiarized.
Self-plagiarism: A student may not submit work, in whole or in part, that he/she has previously submitted in an academic course without advance written permission from the teacher. Failure to seek prior permission from all teachers involved is considered academically dishonest and a violation of the plagiarism policy.
Inappropiate Use of Translation Aids in Foreign Languages: Writing assignments and translations in the target foreign language are essential to develop the necessary skills to succeed in this area. Therefore, the following practices / cases are considered dishonest conduct, cheating, and / or plagiarism if the student submits his / her work:
- uses an electronic bilingual dictionary, any electronic translation
device, or the Internet to do a writing assignment in class or as homework
and submits it as his / her own.
- asks a private tutor, a native speaker, or another student to correct or
do a writing assignment before coming to class.
- copies any part of text from the Internet, magazines, or books, and
submits the work as his / her own.
Lying: To deceive or withhold information from someone who has a legitimate right to the full truth, by making untruthful statements or misrepresentations, either written or verbal.
Stealing: To take, even temporarily, any item that belongs to someone else, regardless of its value or worth, without the owner’s explicit knowledge and permission.
Cheating or plagiarism will result in a zero for the work involved, will require a written apology to the teacher, and will require a conference with the Dean of Students. Violations involving a homework or class assignment will result in a minimum of five demerits. Violations on a quiz will result in a minimum of ten demerits. Violations on a test, report, term paper, or research paper will result in a minimum of fifteen demerits. Violations involving a final exam will result in a minimum of twenty demerits to a maximum of dismissal. Stealing or lying will require a conference with the Dean of Students, the replacement of any property involved, and a minimum of ten demerits to a maximum of dismissal. All honor offenses will result in a hearing before the Honor Council. See section 5.7.9.
Tests and major assignments are to bear the Marist honor pledge in a prominent place: “All work here is honestly obtained and is my own.” The pledge is to be handwritten and signed each time it appears.
5.5.4 Off Campus Without Permission:
Students leaving school without permission and those failing to report to school without a legitimate excuse will receive a minimum of ten demerits to a maximum of dismissal. A grade of zero will be given for work missed; missed work may not be made up. Juniors who leave campus without permission will forfeit their open campus privilege as seniors.
5.5.5 Harassment / Bullying / Intimidation:
Marist students are expected to treat others with respect. The community of Marist School dedicates itself to establishing and maintaining an environment free of harrassment, bullying, and intimidation in any form. Students who experience or witness such behavior are expected to report it to a teacher, counselor, or coach as soon as possible. Actions, words, jokes, or comments of a demeaning or insulting nature that are based on an individual’s sex, race, ethnic origin, religion, or sexual orientation will not be tolerated. In addition, harassment includes deliberate exclusion or intimidation in any form. These behaviors, regardless form of communication are considered conduct unbecoming to a Marist student and will result in a minimum of ten demerits. Sexual harassment (whether overt or subtle) is a form of misconduct that is demeaning to another individual. Types of sexual harassment may be verbal, non-verbal, or physical. Forms of sexual harassment include unwanted questions about one’s personal life, lewd comments, jokes with sexual connotations, the violation of personal space, unwanted touching, or suggestive or obscene notes or letters. Such behavior is strictly forbidden and will result in a minimum of ten demerits.
Refer to Bullying Policy and Procedures, section 10, page 44.

5.7 Penalties
It is necessary at times to impose penalties on individuals or groups due to improper conduct. Marist uses detention, work detail, and demerits as its most common penalties. Disciplinary Warning, Disciplinary Probation, suspension, and dismissal are more severe penalties. Illegal conduct may also be prosecuted.
5.7.1 Teacher Detention:
Any faculty member may detain students after school for up to one hour for infractions of discipline in or out of class. These detentions will be held on the next school day. It is the student’s responsibility to make all necessary arrangements to assure his or her presence at detention. Failure to attend may result in demerits from the Dean of Students.
5.7.2 Work Detail / Detention:
Work detail / detention may be imposed by the Dean of Students for infractions of school rules. Work detail / detention may be given instead of or in addition to demerits or other disciplinary penalties. Work details / detentions will be held on weekday and Saturday mornings, and students are given at least one day’s notice. Failure to report for work detail / detention will result in demerits for the original offense and for failure to report. It is the student’s responsibility to make all arrangements necessary to ensure prompt completion of the assignment. Transportation, jobs, activities, etc. will not be accepted as excuses. A student who receives demerits for failure to report to detention is still responsible to serve that detention.
5.7.3 Demerits:
Demerits are imposed by the Dean of Students for violation of school rules. The number of demerits given depends on the seriousness and/ or frequency of the offense. The student is given a demerit slip, which is to be signed by the parent or guardian and returned to the Dean of Students within forty-eight hours. Failure to do so will result in further demerits.
5.7.4 Disciplinary Warning:
Disciplinary warning is an alert to student and parent that the student’s behavior needs improvement. This warning is given by the Dean of Students in writing and remains in force for a minimum of twelve weeks until removed by the Dean. Usually disciplinary warning is issued when a student accumulates fifteen demerits. A student who receives demerits for any reason while on Disciplinary Warning is normally placed on Disciplinary Probation. Seniors on Disciplinary Warning forfeit the open campus privilege during the warning period. Juniors on Disciplinary Warning forfeit the privilege of not reporting to study hall.
5.7.5 Disciplinary Probation:
Disciplinary Probation is an urgent alert to the student and parent that the student’s behavior needs radical improvement. Written notice citing the reasons for this action and verifying the dates of the probationary period will be sent to the student and the parent. A conference also will be held with the student, parents, and the Principal or another designated administrator to review the conduct record and all probationary conditions. Disciplinary Probation remains in effect for a minimum of twelve weeks, until removed by the Principal. Disciplinary Probation is usually issued when a student accumulates twenty demerits or when a student who is on Disciplinary Warning receives any demerits.
It is most important that the student and parent understand that violations of any school regulations while on Disciplinary Probation are grounds for dismissal without appeal. A student on Disciplinary Probation will be ineligible for participation in athletic and extracurricular activities for a minimum of the first four weeks to a maximum of the entire length of the probationary period. This ineligibility also extends to leadership positions in Campus Ministry activities. A student on Disciplinary Probation does remain eligible for participation in Campus Ministry activities. Seniors on Disciplinary Probation forfeit their open campus privilege during the probationary period.
5.7.6 Disciplinary Suspension:
Disciplinary suspension is the temporary removal of the student from class and extracurricular participation. This penalty may be imposed only by the Principal or Dean of Students. Suspension is removed only after a conference with the Dean of Students or Principal, the student, and parents. If reinstated in school, the student returns on Disciplinary Probation.
5.7.7 Disciplinary Dismissal:
Disciplinary dismissal is the permanent termination of a student’s enrollment at Marist School. This penalty ensues from the recommendation of the Principal and the President is the final authority on all student dismissals.
A total of thirty demerits received during any one school year normally results in dismissal. However, a student with fewer demerits may also be dismissed if circumstances warrant. In addition, a student who accumulatesa total of forty -five demerits during grades 7-12, or forty demerits during high school (Grades 9-12) is also normally dismissed. Students with forty cumulative demerits who are not dismissed will be placed on Disciplinary Probation.
Students who have been dismissed or who have left for behavioral reasons may not return to take part in formal school functions - e.g., dances, prom, graduation, or project graduation.
5.7.8 Discipline Committee:
The Discipline Committee is a committee established by the Principal to review disciplinary matters and serious infractions. The committee is chaired by the Dean of Students and consists of four faculty members appointed on an annual basis to serve two-year terms, and two student members (non voting) recommended by the faculty and voted on by the senior class. The entire committee acts as a unit to determine the degree of involvement and guilt or innocence of each student who appears before it. The faculty members only make a recommendation to the Principal as to the punishment for the specific case. The student members serve only to determine guilt or innocence and to suggest measures to deter further violations in the future.
5.7.9 Honor Council:
The Honor Coucil was established to review disciplinary matters related to honor infractions, as described in section 5,5.3 of the Marist School Parent/Student Handbook. The Council consists of five student members ( one 9th, one 10th, one 11th, and two 12th grade students ), who are nominated by the faculty and elected by their peers on an annual basis. The Council is chaired by the Assistant Dean of Students. Students will have a conference with the Dean or Assistant Dean of Students and then appear before the Council, which acts as a unit to determine the degree of involvement and guilt or innocence of each student who appears before it. The Council also works to deter further violations in the future. The Council then makes a recommendation to the Dean of Students as to the punishment for the specific case. If a student has a second honor infraction, or in instances where disciplinary dismissal is a possibilty, the case will be heard by the Discipline Committee rather than the Honor Council.
