SMA Mission and Code of Conduct

1. I will support the mission and beliefs of the Sarasota Military Academy program, its staff and administration, and the Parent, Teacher, Cadet Council (PTCC).

2. I will read and support the standards of Cadet conduct as outlined in the Cadet Handbook and reinforce them with my Cadet, and I will support the Academy's codes for Cadet behavior, dress, and discipline. (MS Cadet Handbook ~ HS Cadet Handbook)

3. I understand that the Sarasota Military Academy is a drug-free environment, and I agree that my Cadet will be subject to random drug testing. (High School Only)

4. I will ensure that my Cadet is on time for formation each day, and I will ensure that my Cadet knows to be punctual to each class, each day.

5. I will ensure that my Cadet arrives to school in his or her complete uniform. To support administrative consequences for my cadet when not complying with uniform standards, I understand that my Cadet may be detained in an In-School Suspension or sent home until the required uniform pieces are secured.

6. I will attend as many PTCC meetings and Academy events as possible, and I will participate in school activities including volunteer work through the PTCC, event support, or extra-curricular support.

7. I will make arrangements to have my Cadet taken home from school for illness or for disciplinary reasons. This includes making advance arrangements with a third-party in the event that I cannot personally provide immediate pickup.

8. I will immediately notify the school office, in writing, of any contact information change (address, telephone number, email) so I can be reached during the school day.

9. I will be available for conferences by request.

10. I will ensure that my Cadet practices proper hygiene and the Cadet-outlined grooming habits.

 

11. I understand that dropping off my Cadet before 8:30 AM involves signing into SMA Middle School's Before-School Program which is fee-based. I further understand that picking up my Cadet after carline closes or after 4:30 PM in the school office, may result in a late, pickup fee. I agree to pay for these special services promptly after my child uses either service. (Middle School Only)

12. I will furnish a suitable study area at home for my Cadet.

13.  I will support my cadet's safe use of technology both at school and at home. I will ensure that my cadet understands the requirements for the use of the school's computers, networks, and other technology. I will fully support the Electronic Device Policy in the Cadet Handbook and remind my Cadet to keep all cell phones and other electronic devices turned off while at school.

 

*I understand that my Cadet may be asked to return to his or her district school if this agreement is repeatedly violated. By signing this agreement electronically, I acknowledge, accept, and agree to all the aforementioned expectations.
