SAAC Expectations

All SAAC schools have mission statements that speak of high academic expectations and high expectations for character development and community building.  We believe extra-curricular trips demand an increased layer of behavioral expectations and that the elements of risk are heightened for teachers, administrators, parents, students, and the school due to the elevated risk inherent in taking numbers of students off campus. 

Given the above, we believe a set of core consequences that reflect the above understandings and expectations communicates the strength of this belief and helps our schools address infractions and violations consistently.   

Level I Infractions include the following but are not limited to:

1. Violation of Drug/Alcohol Policy Possession or consumption of Drugs/Alcohol

2. Violation of Violent Behavior Acts of Violent Behavior with Clear Intent to Harm

3. Violation of Tobacco Policy Possession or consumption of Tobacco/Vapes

1. Violation of Curfew 

2. Leaving any SAAC venue without proper supervision
