Section 3: Code of Conduct

3.10 ASB Co-Curricular Travel - Student Code of Conduct 

These rules are in effect for the duration of all Co-Curricular travel events. Examples  include SAISA, ASIAC, AMIS, ISTA and MUN. In addition, some organizations may require  additional conduct documentation to be signed. 

1. Smoking, drinking alcohol, drug use, and/or possession, or extremely inappropriate  behavior will not be permitted at any time. SAISA Consequences: Any infraction will  result in the student being sent home at the student’s expense and suspension from all  SAISA/ASIAC activities from 90 school days after the decision has been made by the Host  School SAISA Tournament/Program Director and Host School Principal.  Any cost incurred in addition to the costs for the student being sent home will be the  responsibility of the student. It will be the responsibility of the student’s home school to  impose further appropriate disciplinary action. Responsibility: Host School Principal
2. Transportation: Students must travel in Host School or Host Family provided transportation  only. No travel in auto rickshaws or taxis is allowed at any time Exceptions, if any, will be  communicated to Guest Schools by the Host School in advance of the tournament. Some  SAISA events, taxis will be used when approved by the lead sponsor/chaperone. 
3. Supervision: Students must remain under the supervision of host families when not  participating in scheduled activities or when not under the direct supervision of their  coach/ sponsor. Time allocated for study nights must be adhered to in the host’s home. 
4. Curfew: Each student must be in the host family’s home by 9 pm for middle/high school  and 10 pm for high school events, at the latest. An alternative time can be designated  by the Administrator-in-Charge at the host school. For hotel accommodation, curfew  applies to being in your allocated room and remaining there until the time designated  by the ASB coach/sponsor. 
5. Sportsmanship: Students must refrain from any unsportsmanlike behavior including  jeering, foul language or aggressive posturing at any time (both on and/or off the field  of play), threats, put-downs or any inappropriate language through online social  networking groups. SAISA Consequences for infraction of rules 2, 3, 4 & 5: Suspension from all SAISA activities  for a minimum of 24 hours, starting from either the time of the infraction or the start of  the event, as deemed appropriate by the Host School SAISA Tournament/Program Director  and Host School Principal. If the infraction occurs on the last day of the event, the student  will be suspended from all activities on the last day. It will be the responsibility of the  student’s school to impose further appropriate disciplinary action. Responsibility: Host  School Principal. 
6. Students shall obey all instructions given to them by their host parent, coach/sponsor. This applies to all activities, irrespective of location, undertaken during the period of  the activity. 
7. No piercings or tattoos can be added during a trip. 
8. When housing arrangements involve host families, billeting is the responsibility of the  official at the host school and may not be changed post school consent. Students and  parents may not contact host school or host school families to change assigned  housing. When housing arrangements involve a hotel stay, the responsibility of billeting  rests with the lead sponsor of that group. 
9. Students traveling under the sponsorship of ASB are considered to be representing the  school. As such they should dress with special care when traveling to and from ASB.  The following code of dress applies: The Green ASB polo travel shirt must be worn on  outward and return travel. 
10. Students may not use any medications unless prescribed and/or administered by a  licensed medical physician or host school medical personnel or cleared and recorded  by the Activity Director. 
11. ASB welcomes parental attendance at all Co-Curricular events. When attending events parents should be aware that the responsibility for their children is the traveling ASB  faculty member and ultimately, the host organization/school. Under no circumstances,  therefore, should parents take their children away from any activities unless prior  approval has been gained from the team coach and host school administrator. 
12. Neither host families nor students may negotiate changes to these or organization  Rules and Regulations. These regulations apply to all students during the period of the  activity and also during travel to and from the site event. Violation of these regulations  may be reported to the responsible host official, as well as the ASB principal and AAD.  On return to school, if deemed necessary, a meeting between the student, parent and  review team will take place, and appropriate consequences may follow.
