As a member of the Monarch Student Leadership Team of Mater Dei High School, I understand I must follow the following RULES:

  1. Maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA – a student who does not have at least an overall 2.0 GPA at the end of the semester grading period will be ineligible to continue participation in Student Leadership. Once the student improves his/her semester grades to a 2.0, he or she will be eligible to re-apply for the Student Leadership program.
  2. I understand that my required Community Service Hours requirement must be met each semester. I understand that it is my responsibility to have my service hours recorded by established due dates.
  3. As a member of the Mater Dei Student Leadership team, I understand that I represent Mater Dei High School in everything that I do. I understand that if I am found to have a negative presence on social media websites or sites that are defamatory towards Mater Dei or its members, I will be asked to leave the Mater Dei Student Leadership Team.
  4. I am not able to receive no more than three (3) dress code violations in a school year. On the 4th dress code violation during an academic year or being placed on a Dean’s Contract for dress code violations, the student will be removed from the Student Leadership program for the remainder of the school year and will not be eligible to re-apply for one calendar year (365 days).
  5. ASB Student Leaders are not permitted to be on disciplinary contract or academic contract for infractions that are found in the Parent/Student Handbook. These infractions include but are not limited to academic dishonesty, classroom disruptions, etc. Disciplinary referrals will result in the removal of a student leader from the program for one year.
  6. I understand that my Monarch Leadership Team position will require a commitment of additional time beyond normal school hours. This can include hours before school, at lunch, and after school. I understand that my commitment to ASB and my ASB duties and attendance at functions comes second after my faith life and school work.
  7. I am required to notify the Activities Director in advance if not attending an event that is specific to my commission. I understand that if I do not attend an event that is specific to my commission I will receive a detention.
  8. I understand that I may never leave or miss classes for official ASB business without prior authorization from the Activities Director. I will NEVER tell a teacher that I need to leave class unless I have received a pass ahead of time. I understand that I will be a student first and that leadership begins with being a good example to others. Consistent, on-time attendance in class is the first step to being a good student leader and is the expectation as a member of the Monarch Leadership Team. Students who use ASB as an excuse to miss class without a pass from the Activities Director will be considered truant and will be removed from Student Leadership.
  9. Treat all adults with respect. There are no reasons or excuses for disrespect or talking back to adults.
  10. As a member of the Monarch Leadership Team, I will have a positive, collaborative relationship with the other members of the team. I will show respect to the team members with both my words and actions. When problems arise with another leadership team member, I will work to find a solution to the problem, rather than talking behind that person’s back. As a leader, I will always find ways to solve problems and work together with others. If problems arise in this area, the first corrective step will be a meeting with the Activities Director about my behavior. When a second problem arises, I will receive a written warning. On the third offense, I will be removed from Student Leadership and will not be eligible to re-apply for one calendar year (365 days).
