DRIVING A CARPOOL IS A SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY. Xxxxxxxx believes that the use of alcohol, tobacco products and illegal drugs by minors is dangerous and harmful. Within the school's jurisdiction, for Maryvale students, there are five clear consequences that must be understood: • Any student who is in possession of or under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, a vaporizer or any other tobacco products on the Maryvale campus or at any off-campus school event is a candidate for suspension/expulsion. This includes unauthorized medications. • If any student is found to be under the influence of or in possession of any controlled substance, juul, or alcoholic beverages, the student's parents/guardians will be called to pick her up immediately. The administration will determine and take further action. • Any Maryvale student who is proven to be selling or distributing drugs or alcohol to other students will be expelled. • The school realizes that the use of alcohol, tobacco products, vaporizers and illegal drugs by its students may exist outside of the school's jurisdiction. As a Maryvale student attending functions/events at another school, each student is responsible and accountable to Maryvale and the school involved for her behavior. If you are a guest at another school, the Maryvale rules still apply. Any student who reaches the point of concern for herself or others should seek help from the school counselor. Xxxxxxxx's interest in the wholesome development and wellbeing of its students has led us to take an unyielding stand against the illegal use of alcohol and drugs. We seek a partnership with the parents/guardians of our students so that, together, we might give our girls the support they need as they face peer pressure in this area of their lives. If a family feels that it cannot accept this policy, it is suggested that the members reconsider their place in the school community. Maryvale urges parents’/guardians' cooperation in refusing to serve alcohol or give tacit approval to the consumption of alcohol in their homes. Legally, families can be subject to prosecution under Maryland law for violations. Xxxxxxxx encourages you to contact any parents hosting a gathering of students at their home to confirm that the parents will not serve alcohol or allow the consumption of alcohol in their home. All Upper School students must complete the “Alcoholedu” education classes. This is an interactive online program designed to reduce the negative consequences of alcohol amongst students.
