Student Discipline/Behavior Code of Conduct
Cobra Scholars are encouraged to take responsibility for their own actions and academic performance. Emphasis is placed on the importance of each scholar working to his or her own ability level.
School-wide appropriate behaviors are expected as scholars are taught and expected to understand inappropriate behavior. We believe that when scholars make appropriate choices at school, it will generate scholarly success.
While it is our hope that all Cobra Scholars display appropriate behaviors at all times, the following consequences have been put into place at Rosemary Middle for inappropriate behaviors.
1st Referral – Conference with student and/or parent
2nd Referral – Assigned to ISS
3rd Referral – Assigned to ISS
4th Referral – Assigned to ISS
5th -10th Referral – OSS (Out of School Suspension)
11th Referral – Recommended for Expulsion
Please take time to speak with your student about respecting the rights of others to learn in a safe environment.
Dress Code
Scholar dress is expected to be appropriate at all times; therefore, the dollar bill rule has been put in place to ensure length and width of shorts, skirts, tank tops, etc. are school appropriate. (Dollar Bill Rule – the width of a dollar from the top of your knee cap to where the bill ends determines how short the clothes can be).
Jeans with holes at the upper thigh, larger than 1 inch are not permitted. Hats, caps, the head covering part of the hoodie, and bandannas are not to be worn in the building or class except during special spirit days. If there is a medical or religious reason for wearing a hat or head covering inside the building, parents should contact administration.
Young ladies are allowed to carry a small cross body (no larger than a wallet) or wristlet for personal items.
Cell Phone Policy
Scholars are not allowed to use cell phones on campus for any purpose, including receiving calls, taking pictures or text messaging. If you desire that your child carry a phone for non-school time emergency purposes, the phone must be turned off and kept at the student’s own risk in his or her book bag. Any violations of this policy, including having the phone ring or emit any noise, will result in discipline.
First violation: Cell phone will be returned to student at the end of the day.
Second violation: Parent must pick up cell phone and the policy will be explained.
Third violation: The cell phone will be confiscated by the administration for thirty (30) days.
Fourth violation: The cell phone will be confiscated until the end of the semester.
