Santa Monica High School
                                   ASB Code of Conduct
I, the undersigned, do solemnly swear that I will abide by the following Code of Conduct set forth by the
Santa Monica High School ASB. The following standards of eligibility, conduct, and responsibilities
shall apply to all members during their one year term of office.
     I. Academic Achievement
          A.   I will maintain a minimum GPA of a 2.0 Grade Point Average.
          B.   If I receive less than a 2.0 GPA, I understand that I will be placed on probation, unless I
               have already been placed on probation. Only one period of probation is allowed during my
               term. If my GPA does not increase, I understand that I will be immediately removed from
               office.
     II. Behavior Standards
          A.   As a member of ASB, I realize that my conduct must be beyond reproach at all times, both
               on and off campus. ASB is set to higher standards, because I represent the entire school,
               AT ALL TIMES!
          B.   I will abide by the SMHS School Handbook, and I understand the use of alcohol, tobacco,
               or any controlled substance is prohibited.
          C.   I will uphold the ASB Constitution.
          D.   I will cooperate with the Activities Director and the ASB President.
          E.   I will cooperate with all ASB members and help wherever it is needed.
          F.   I will abide by the school dress code at all times.
          G.   I will carry my SMHS ID card at all times.
          H.   I will carry out the responsibilities of my office as stated in the Bylaws of the SMHS
               Constitution.
          I.   I will be on time to class and all ASB events.
          J.   I will display good sportsmanship at all times and serve as an ambassador for SMHS at
               other schools.
          K.   I will maintain at least a satisfactory citizenship record.
          L.   I understand that if I am suspended from Santa Monica High School, I may be suspended or
               permanently removed from my ASB office, as determined by the Activities Director and
               the Administration.
          M. Failure to comply with any of these rules may result in immediate removal from office as
               determined by the SMHS Activities Director and the Administration.
     III. Responsibilities of Office
          A.   I understand that if I am elected or appointed to an ASB position I must be enrolled in the
               Leadership class.
          B.   I understand that attendance in that class is mandatory.
          C.   I understand that I may be assigned tasks at ASB functions and that it is my responsibility
               to work at and prepare for all ASB events.
          D.   I understand that I will be assigned tasks by the Activities Director and/or the ASB
               President, and I am responsible to execute those tasks.
          E.   I understand that I am expected to attend the summer ASB retreats. These retreats are
               mandatory, and I must obtain special permission prior to the retreat if I cannot make it.
               Failure to attend may result in removal from office.

  not	
  a	
  job	
  to	
  be	
  taken	
  
lightly.	
  If

  will	
  have	
  the	
  opportunity	
  to	
  help	
  lead	
  the
