Code of Conduct for Professional Boundaries

Volunteers

All individuals who have high access to students at Presentation High School must read and sign this form verifying that they agree to adhere to the following Code of Conduct regarding Professional Boundaries. 

Presentation High School is committed to providing a campus environment that is safe and healthy. We encourage supportive relationships between students and adults that promote student achievement and success. To that end, clear boundaries for interactions between students and employees/volunteers in the community are paramount.

We require all adults affiliated in any way with Presentation to maintain appropriate adult-student relationships at all times, both on and off-campus. All interactions between members of the Presentation community should be based on mutual respect and trust, and should be consistent with the mission and values of the school. Every member of our community should expect an environment free of abuse, misconduct, and harassment, where appropriate employee-student boundaries are respected and maintained. This code of conduct applies to conduct towards current students, applicants for admission, and any former student under the age of 21.

The following guidelines must be strictly followed by school employees and volunteers when dealing with Presentation students:

• The best interest of students should always be your highest priority.
• Presentation employees/volunteers should be solid role models.
• Presentation employees/volunteers may never have sexual or romantic relationships with students, use alcohol or drugs of any kind with or around students, or partake in any illegal conduct with or around students.
• Do not transport a student alone in a vehicle.
• No communicating with a student by any means, electronic or otherwise, on any issue other than one of an educational purpose, or if authorized to contact a student to check on their well-being or their need for resources or support. Electronic communication is only permitted through the School’s phone or email system, except in an emergency situation.
• No interacting with students on any form of social media or networking platform.
• No socializing with students outside of school without a parent or guardian present at all times.
• Employees/volunteers must not share intimate personal and/or intimate family information with any student.  By way of example, while sharing information about a birthday, an upcoming wedding or birth would be acceptable, sharing details about an intimate relationship, financial issues, or troubled family relationships would not be acceptable.
• An employee/volunteer must not be alone with a student in a space that cannot be observed by others.
• Avoid excessive attention toward a particular student or group of students.
• Avoid inquiring about overly personal details of a student’s private relationships.
• Never hire a student to work in your home.
• No giving to a student or a student’s family, or accepting from a student or a student’s family, gifts of significant value, without the express written consent of the Principal or President.
• Employees may not be hired to perform work outside of school for a family, such as babysitting or private tutoring unless given express permission from the President or Principal.

Note: The school has the right and responsibility to investigate employee/volunteer compliance with this code of conduct even if no report has been made.

Presentation prohibits and will not tolerate child abuse, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment or boundary violations. Any reasonable belief of a violation of our policies, including a reasonable belief of inappropriate adult-student boundaries, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, and/or child abuse, will be reported to the appropriate authorities and could result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Those authorities may include law enforcement or Child Protective Services (CPS).

The school will not retaliate against anyone who reports conduct that may violate this conduct policy. An employee who retaliates against an individual who makes a report under this policy will be subject to discipline.
