Rules of Conduct

Violations of any of these rules are grounds for immediate dismissal.

General Guidelines for Tutors:
1. Once you commit to your weekly schedule for the semester, you must follow through. (See the Attendance Policy for more details). This may be only a couple of hours for you, but for the school and students, it is a big deal.
2. Be consistent, dependable, and responsible. If you are unable to make a tutoring session, call the school and/or teacher prior to your absence.
3. Do not overestimate the number of hours you can commit, but make it a priority.
4. Be honest, patient, flexible, and respectful. Remember- this is life for these students and you are a visitor to their world. Treat them as you would like to be treated.

The following behaviors will not be tolerated:
1. Any use of profanity or degrading language.
2. Use of sexual language or conduct of any kind.
3. Any verbal or physical abuse towards a student.
4. Use of tobacco products or alcohol on the school grounds or in front of the students.
5. Carrying a concealed weapon or use of any kind of weapon on school grounds.
6. Chronic absences or unexcused absences.

Things to be cautious about:
1. Being alone with a student. Always be where someone else can see you.
2. Handing out contact information. Phone numbers are in general a bad idea.
3. Telling about your personal life.

Dress Code:
1. No hats or bandanas
2. Dress should be modest
3. No clothing or accessories advocating drugs, tobacco, or alcohol.
4. In general, use the School Dress Code to dictate your own.
5. Be comfortable.

Remember: You are to be a role model and should act accordingly. You are representing CEISMC and Georgia Tech and should act in a professional, responsible manner at all times. Teachers, children, and administrators are counting on your living up to your commitment.
