Students are expected to observe all regular school rules relating to behavior, tobacco, alcohol and drugs. This code applies to all school sponsored activities, including field trips, as well as parties, dances and other events that are held off campus. As mentioned above, high school disciplinary guidelines apply at such events, and any student in breach of the guidelines will be disciplined accordingly. In some cases, students will be prevented from entering the venue, whilst at other times, students will be asked to leave. In such instances, parents will be called and informed as to why their child has been excluded.
Faculty do try and discourage students from leaving early.
We recognize, however, that some parents allow their children more freedom than others, and that seniors are generally given less active supervision that freshmen. For these reasons, parents are asked to make certain that they have made their expectations clear to their teenagers, so that they know exactly what they are allowed to do in terms of an early departure from such events. Non-JIS guests to dances must be registered with the Activities Office, carry a guest permit and be introduced to one of the chaperones at the event. All guests are expected to follow the rules and regulations governing the behavior of JIS students.
