I will support the mission, goals, and values of the West Stokes High School Band program and the Band Boosters with a positive and cooperative spirit.

I will treat all students, staff, volunteers, and fellow parents with respect, courtesy, and integrity at all times, including during events, meetings, travel, and online discussions.

I will bring any concerns or grievances directly to the Band Director or school administration, following the appropriate communication channels and avoiding public or social disruption.

I understand that Booster Board members do not serve as intermediaries for complaints regarding the Band Director, instructional matters, or school policy.

I will not use my status as a volunteer, officer, or parent participant to influence instructional decisions, school matters, or leadership outcomes.

I will not engage in gossip, rumor spreading, or negative commentary regarding students, families, staff, or Booster leadership, in person or online.

I understand that attendance at Booster meetings and events is a privilege, and disruptive behavior, intimidation, or attempts to manipulate proceedings are grounds for removal.

I will not photograph, record, or post content involving students or events that would compromise privacy, safety, or the band’s public image.

I will honor the authority of the Booster Executive Board and their decisions, understanding they were elected by majority vote and operate under approved bylaws.

I will not attempt to bypass or undermine the Executive Board’s governance, nor will I represent the Boosters or the band program in any official capacity without Board approval.

I acknowledge that all communications with external partners (including businesses, media, or sponsors) must be coordinated through the President or a designated officer.

I will follow all volunteer and chaperone protocols as set forth by the school and Boosters, including sign-up procedures, background checks (if required), and assignment duties.

I will use designated tools (such as the Band App, Facebook, or email) responsibly and only for communication that supports band operations, student recognition, or positive engagement.

I understand that I am a guest at all school-sponsored or Booster-sponsored functions and will conduct myself accordingly to reflect well on the band and its students.

I acknowledge that failure to adhere to this Code of Conduct may result in my removal from Booster meetings, events, volunteer opportunities, or committees—subject to Executive Board review.
