The Dean of Students is directly responsible for the conduct of the
students of Malvern Preparatory School.  The Dean of Students makes all decisions that concern disciplinary situations, except expulsion, which is the exclusive right of the Head of School.

Code of Conduct
All Malvern students are expected to conduct themselves as Christian gentlemen on and off campus at all times.  Speech and behavior should be such as to reflect credit on the home and upon the school.  Any departure from this will result in the severest penalties.  In the event that Malvern Prep becomes aware that a student is or has engaged in conduct at or outside the school which the Administration determines to be disruptive at, of, or to the interest of the school, the students or the community, the Administration may, in its discretion, suspend, expel, or take such other action as it deems appropriate with regard to such student.

Deference and respect are to be shown to all Administration, Faculty, Staff, Parents, Volunteers, Guests, Friends, Alumni and to fellow students.  This same respect must also be shown to faculty, parents and students from other schools at all times, including sporting and extracurricular events.

Academic Honesty
It is expected that all Malvern Prep students will be academically honest.  This means that they will act independently, unless otherwise advised, while working on projects, quizzes, tests, exams and any other graded assignments.  Copying homework is unacceptable.  Students will not plagiarize and will use appropriate citations when using outside sources.  Citations are needed for information gained from the Internet, encyclopedias, books, film, TV, radio, personal interviews, friends and family, and any other source outside the student’s own memory.  MLA format is to be followed in all circumstances.

Plagiarism: One form of academic dishonesty of which students are often unsure is plagiarism.  The following should help clear up any uncertainty.

Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines plagiarism as: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own; use (a created production) without crediting the source; to commit literary theft; present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

This definition will be the guide in determining if a student has plagiarized a project, homework, report or any other written or oral presentation that is an example of the student’s thoughts or knowledge.

If a student knowingly gives his work to another student to copy, both will be disciplined for the act.  Students will be expected to follow the general regulations regarding plagiarism as defined above in the policy for Academic Honesty.

These acts are carried over from year to year.  Since this is an academic and discipline problem, all teachers are required to report suspected academic dishonesty issues to their Department Chairperson and the Dean of Academics.  When it has been determined that a dishonest act has occurred it will be brought to the attention of the Dean of Students for immediate action.

The student will also receive a zero as a grade on the exam, test, project, quiz or homework in question.

Repercussions: Punishment for plagiarism and cheating will be handled as follows.
 Homework 1st Offense 3 demerits/3 detentions
  2nd Offense 5 demerits/5 detentions
  3rd Offense Suspension
 Test, Quiz and Project (PowerPoint or oral presentation)
  1st Offense Suspension
  2nd Offense Suspension or Expulsion
  3rd Offense Expulsion
 Final Exam Suspension/Expulsion/”0” on the examination

Computer Ethics: Malvern’s technology and information network, including all e-mail accounts, software, hardware, are to be used for educational purposes only or those purposes directly related to Malvern Prep.  Under no circumstances may the network be used for commercial or personal purposes.

E-mail is treated in the same manner as paper mail.  We expect all system users to respect the privacy of e-mail messages.  An e-mail message should not be shared with others unless the permission of the author is obtained.  However, the content of one’s files, including e-mail messages sent and received, is not considered private. Malvern’s Administration reserves the right to inspect user directories for files which may affect the operation of the network, and to remove them if found.

Commercial software is copyrighted and each purchaser must abide by the licensing agreement published with the software.  Students may expect this to be handled as a disciplinary matter.  The downloading of any unauthorized files and/or software applications, i.e. games, onto the hard drives of any school computers or school network drives is not permitted. 

The violation of the rules of the Malvern Information Network will result in disciplinary action under the same guidelines as infractions of other school rules.  In addition, misuse of the Information Network may result in the suspension of network privileges. 

Rules of Discipline
Threats and Harassment: Every member of the Malvern community must feel safe on campus.  In the event a student threatens anyone, either in written or verbal form, or by his actions, the severest penalty will be imposed.

Smoking: Students are not permitted to smoke on campus or be in possession of cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco or smoking materials.  This policy is in force during school, school-sponsored events and class trips.

Weapons: No weapon shall be brought onto School property, to any School-sponsored activity or on any vehicle providing transportation to or from the School or a School-sponsored activity.  The term “weapon” is intended to include any knife, firearm, shotgun, rifle or any other tool or instrument capable of inflicting serious bodily injury. 

Vandalism:  Any student found defacing the buildings would be brought to the Dean of Students.  The student will then be faced with punishment and restitution.

I.D. Cards (Cafeteria Cards): Students are provided with I.D. cards, and they must be carried at all times.  Any tampering with information on the I.D. card is considered to be forgery and punishable as such.  Lost cards must be reported immediately.  Unauthorized use of another student’s ID card will result in suspension.  The cards are usable as debit cards in the cafeteria and campus store.

Cell Phones: Students are permitted to have a cell phone on campus.  They must be kept in a car or locker.  They may not be turned on during the school day or carried in school bags or pockets.  Violation of this will result in 2 + 2 plus the confiscation of the phone by the Dean of Students.

Calculators: Students are not permitted to store games on their calculator.  Teachers will clear the entire memory to erase the games.

Lockers: A student is responsible for the proper maintenance of the locker assigned to him.   Lockers are school property and not the private property of the student.   Tampering with or entering a locker not assigned to him will make him subject to the severest penalties.  The Administration has the right to search a locker at any time.

Buildings and Classrooms:  No student is ever permitted to be in a building or classroom without faculty supervision.  In the gymnasiums, students must follow the posted regulations and the specific instructions of the Athletic Director.

Driving Privileges: Students who are permitted to drive to school must park in their assigned spots and lock their cars.  NO student is allowed to go to his car during the day.  This is known as the “Lock it and Pocket” rule.  Students are not permitted to loiter in the parking area at any time before or after school.   Each car must have a Malvern parking permit (available from the Dean of Students).  All drivers on campus must abide by the driving rules established by Malvern Prep.  (Please read the “Rules of the Road” section of this Handbook.)  Driving on campus is a privilege, which may be withdrawn for any of the following reasons:

1.  Reckless driving on campus (Speed Limit is 10 mph)
2.  Violation of the “lock it and pocket” rule.  Students may not go to the parking lot for any reason without the consent of the Dean of Students.
3.  Leaving campus without permission—no student may leave campus until he has completed his academic responsibilities and extracurricular activities.  Violation of this rule will result in automatic suspension.  (Seniors may leave after classes with parents’ written permission.)
4.  Misuse of a vehicle on the way to and/or from school
5.  Repeated offenses (e.g., lateness)
6.  Failure to park in designated areas

Rules of the Road
For the safety of everyone on campus, the School expects all drivers to obey the following driving regulations and to make the safety of our students one’s top priority while driving on campus.  These rules apply to all drivers.

1. The maximum speed limit is 10 MPH around the entire length of the ring road.
2. Students will be dropped off and picked up at the designated area in the East Parking Lot leading to Sullivan Hall or at Austin Hall if picking up a child in the middle of the day. 
3. The area by the O’Neill Sports Center is for buses only.  Students who make use of bus transportation are expected to observe the guidelines that have been set up by the Director of Transportation of each school district.  A copy of the guidelines and sanctions for failure to observe them are explained to students at the beginning of the school year.
4. Drivers traveling around campus or through parking lots must always yield to pedestrians until they have safely crossed the road. 
5. No one will drive on the interior roads of campus. 
6. No stopping and parking anywhere along the ring road, except when there is a stop sign. 
7. Drivers in St. Augustine Circle have the right of way. You must yield to them from all other directions.
8. Traffic will drive one-way counterclockwise around the ring road. 
9. Obey all stop signs.

If these rules are continually disobeyed throughout the year, the Malvern Police Department will be called to enforce the rules of the road by ticketing those who speed, run stop signs, park illegally, drive carelessly and drive in areas that are off-limit. 

Dress Code
Students are required to arrive at school neatly and properly dressed.  The Dress Code mandates that all students have a look of professionalism that reflects the standards of Malvern.  It is expected that all students’ attire to be neat, clean and coordinated.  The Dress Code Policy should be followed in the spirit as well as the letter of the rule.  Final decisions on acceptable dress will be solely at the discretion of the Dean of Students.  Any student entering homeroom not in the entire dress code will be sent to the Dean of Students office to call home.  He will not be permitted to attend class until he corrects the problem.

Formal Dress Code:
Sport Coat: Must be basic professional business style and color.  Option: navy blue V-neck long-sleeved Malvern sweater.  No other option will be permitted.  Overcoats and jackets will not be permitted to be worn in class.  Solid V-neck sweater or vest may be worn under a sport coat in cold weather.  Sweatshirts and fleeces are never permitted.

Dress Shirt: A dress shirt will have a collar and will be buttoned completely up the front.  No plaid, Hawaiian, denim or turtle neck shirts permitted.

Dress Pants: Dress slacks only.  Any pants with outside pockets and gathered ankles are prohibited.  Jeans, Cargo pants, faded cords, and any other non-dress slacks are not permitted.  Students are expected to wear dress slacks, belted at the their waist, at all times.

Tie: Any color but must be clean and tied.

Dress Shoes and Socks: Shoes must be dress shoes.  Boots, sandals, sneakers and clogs are not permitted. Socks must be worn at all times.

Hair: Hair must be groomed properly; hair length must be above the collar in the back and no longer on top than to the ears.  Hair must be the boy’s natural color.  No dyed, tinted or bleached hair will be permitted.  Unorthodox, trendy hairstyles will not be permitted.  Facial hair, tails, Afros and braids are not permitted. 

Jewelry: Pierced ears, noses, tongues and eyebrows are not permitted.  Band-Aids covering pierced points are not acceptable.

Hats: Baseball caps may not be worn or carried on campus during the school hours of 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Other: All athletic equipment and other non-regulation clothing must be kept in a locker or other designated area.

Casual Dress Code: Casual attire is an option only during the dates designated on the school calendar.  This dress code will consist of a white or blue three-buttoned golf shirt (purchased at the Campus Store), solid pants, belt, and dress shoes and socks.  No sport coat, turtleneck shirt, or sweater will be allowed.  No long-sleeved shirts may be worn under the golf shirt. Any student with more than five demerits will be ineligible for all Dress Down Days and casual wear occasions.

Casual Fridays: Seniors Only.  Seniors are permitted to wear a casual shirt on Fridays.  The shirt must be a solid color, it must have a collar, and it must be tucked in at the waist.  No sport coat is required, however, the rest of the dress code remains the same. 

Dress Down Days: On Dress Down Days, which are noted on the school calendar, clothing must be clean and not torn or ripped.  Attire permitted consists of sweatshirts, t-shirts, jeans, workout pants and sneakers.  Attire not permitted consists of hats, earrings, shorts, sandals, and any shirts with inappropriate slogans or other references.  Final decisions on acceptable dress will be solely at the discretion of the Dean of Students.

Lost and Found: All articles brought to school should bear the student’s name.  Lost and Found is in front of the Dean of Students’ office 3rd floor of Carney Hall.  Items lost in the Middle School will be in front of the Dean of the Middle School’s office on the 2nd floor Good Counsel.  For the students’ convenience, items left in the Library are kept there for a few days.  Sports equipment will be at the Athletic Director’s office near the Gym Equipment Locker.  Articles not claimed after one month will be donated to the Friars’ Resale Shop.  Malvern Mothers’ Club volunteers will attempt to reunite items and their owners if a name is on the lost article.

Absence & Truancy
Absence: Any student who is absent from school has the responsibility to:

Provide notification by phone:  Insure parental notification to the school between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. on the day of the absence.  All Parents must call (484) 595-1100 and give the receptionist the student’s name, grade and reason for absence.  Please do not call the Dean of Students or the student’s individual teachers. Failure to call this phone number will result in the student having a detention.

Provide notification by letter:  Students must deliver a letter from his parents to the Dean of Students immediately upon his return to school.  No student will be admitted to class after an absence without a letter from his parents explaining the absence.

An absence disqualifies a student from participation in extracurricular activities for that day.

Accumulation of more than 12 non-medical absences or more than 15 unexcused latenesses (see “Lateness”) will result in the student being required to perform 40 hours school service before being promoted or receiving his diploma. For a medical excuse (see “Medical Appointments”), a physician’s note must be submitted on the day the student returns to school to the Dean of Students, and it must state the date(s) of absence and the reason for the absence.  A physician’s note is required when the student is absent three or more consecutive days.

Any student absent 20 days, with and/or without a medical excuse, will not be promoted until requirements set by the Academic Dean have been met which could include summer school.  When long-term absence occurs, the Academic Dean must be contacted to set up home schooling as soon as the student is able.

Any student who misses school without permission is considered truant.  Truancy will result in immediate suspension and a zero for all class work that is missed due to the absence.

One-week notice must be given to the teacher if a student has a planned absence that does not fall during the scheduled school calendar vacation. Work missed in any class by any student must be made up as directed by his teacher, and it is the student’s responsibility to see the teacher immediately upon his return to school for such direction.  This assignment must be completed to the teacher’s satisfaction within a time period mutually agreed upon.  Failure to do so constitutes incomplete work and may result in a failing grade for the marking period.  No student may graduate or be promoted unless all work is satisfactorily completed.  (See the Student Conduct Guidelines section for more information about Absences.)

Lateness: Malvern Prep’s school day begins with homeroom at 8:15 a.m.  All students are required to be in their seat at this time.  Students will not be permitted into homeroom after this time without a note from the Dean of Students office.  Therefore, if a student is late to school he must report directly to the Dean of Students office with a note from his parent or doctor.  Students arriving after 10:20 a.m. without a doctor’s note will be marked absent for the school day and ineligible to participate in sports or extra-curricular activities for the day. A student will receive a Saturday detention when he is late five times.  After this he will have detention after school on any day that he is late.

Notification by phone:  Parents must notify the school (484-595-1100) if their son has been detained and will not arrive at school on time.  Whenever a student is late for school or class, he must report to the Dean of Students for an admission slip.  If a student fails to report to the Dean of Students, he will be charged with a full day’s absence.  Unexcused latenesses after 9 a.m. will result in the student being charged with a one-day absence. 

Medical Appointments: It is suggested that students make medical appointments during non-school hours. If this cannot be done, notification of a student’s absence must be made at least 24 hours in advance by calling 484-595-1150.  Upon arrival at school, the student must submit a note from the physician to the Dean of Students stating the date and time of treatment.

College Visits: It is understood that seniors must visit college campuses for interviews and inspections. However, it is expected that they make these appointments for the two Fridays they are not attending MECO (Senior College Visit Days).  An absence for a college visit by a senior will be excused only if the parent notifies the Dean of Students in writing 24 hours in advance of the absence.  Following the absence, in place of the absentee note, some kind of dated college affidavit (e.g., parking permit, letter from the Admissions Office, etc.) must be submitted upon the student’s return to school.  Only one day in addition to the two Senior College Visit Days will be allowed.  Additionally, students are expected to be visiting college campuses.  The visitation day is not to be used to complete college applications or as a holiday.  No college visiting days will be afforded to underclassmen.

Personal Vacation: Class time is very important and missing class causes students to fall behind academically.  Since the school schedules a two-week break at Christmas, five-day weekend in February, and a 10-day break at Easter, we strongly recommend that vacations be scheduled during these times only.  Students are expected to be in class the day before and after each break.  Students absent on these days or for vacation will be marked unexcused.

Drug & Alcohol Policy
The Board of Trustees, Administration and Faculty of Malvern Prep are keenly aware of the dangers of illegal drugs and alcoholic beverages and consider the strictest possible policy of prohibition, enforcement and penalty to be an absolute necessity.  The possession, sale, purchase or use of illegal drugs or alcoholic beverages by minors is against the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, reflects adversely upon Malvern Prep as an institution and, most importantly, has a detrimental effect upon the physical, psychological and spiritual health of Malvern’s students.  Such conduct will not be tolerated at any time or at any place. A student engaging in such conduct subjects himself to the severest penalties.

Drug & Alcohol Awareness Committee: The Malvern Preparatory School Drug and Alcohol Awareness Committee exists to support the students and their families with issues related to making the right choices by encouraging parents, students and faculty to become involved with on-going education and awareness to the dangers of substance abuse.

United Effort: Because of the seriousness of drug and/or alcohol use, we feel the strictest possible penalty to be an absolute necessity.  It is the school’s responsibility to consider the welfare and safety of the entire student body.  While operating within the Mission Statement, “the Malvern community encourages each individual to grow in a family atmosphere distinguished by respect, challenge, responsibility, knowledge and exceptional love,” we would prefer to see responsibility stressed.  Although Malvern provides a family atmosphere in which a student may grow, it, at no time, could or would take the primary responsibility for a student’s individual situation. A clear and convincing message needs to be conveyed to our students that we must strive to attain the highest ethical and moral standards that we can so that we, as members of the Malvern Community, can provide “growth through excellence,” now and in the future.

Policy: The Drug and Alcohol Policy shall apply to any student who possesses, consumes, transports, sells, or otherwise provides another with drugs and/or alcohol on the Malvern property or at any school sponsored function or event.  The Drug and Alcohol Policy shall be as follows:

Any student who possesses, consumes, transports, sells or otherwise provides another with drugs and/or alcohol on Malvern Preparatory School property or at any school-sponsored function or event shall, upon review, face immediate suspension and possible expulsion from school.

Definitions:
Drugs: Any substance, prescriptive or non-prescriptive, whose possession or sale would be deemed illegal by the laws and statutes of Pennsylvania; such drugs may include, but not be limited to prescriptive drugs not legally issued to the student who used, transported, consumed, possessed said drug or otherwise sold or provided others with drugs.

Alcohol:  Any intoxicating beverage whose sale is prohibited to minors (persons under the age of 21 years), under the laws of Pennsylvania, or any other beverage otherwise defined as illegal for a minor to possess, sell, consume or transport, under the laws and statutes of Pennsylvania. Such beverages shall include, but not be limited to beer and liquor.

Possession:  Categorized as actual and constructive possession.
a.  Constructive Possession:  A person shall be deemed to have constructive possession when he has the power to control and the intent to control the drug and/or alcoholic beverage or when said drug and/or alcohol is located in or about the property or person of the student who had the power to control and the intent to control the drug and/or alcohol.
b.  Actual Possession:  A person shall be deemed to be in actual possession when a drug and/or alcohol is found upon the person of the student.

School-Sponsored Function or Event: Any activity in which a Malvern Preparatory School student may participate or any place which a Malvern Preparatory School student may attend whose function, purpose and design was known to, offered and approved by Malvern, for the benefit of its students.  Such functions or events may include activities which occur on or off Malvern Preparatory School property to which Malvern Preparatory School has direct or indirect control.

Sanctions: After review of the facts pertaining to an alleged violation of the Drug and Alcohol Policy by a student, if Malvern Preparatory School then determines that the student has violated the rules and regulations governing said Policy, such student shall face immediate suspension and possible expulsion from school, 20 demerits and 20 detentions, a failure in conduct for the year, three Saturday detentions and a Drug and Alcohol Evaluation performed by a licensed Drug and Alcohol facility. All costs and fees will be the parents’ responsibility.  In cases of possible expulsion, the case will be referred to the Review Committee, comprised of three faculty members, three students and the Dean of Students, who will review the case and make a recommendation to the Head of School who may accept or reject the recommendation.

Medication Policy
All medication (prescription and over-the-counter), including Advil (Ibuprofen), Tylenol (Acetaminophen), aspirin, cold and cough preparations, Pepto-Bismol, Imodium, etc., must be kept in the Health Office and/or the Sports Medicine Office.  Medication required during school hours is to be administered by the school nurse or her designee as assigned by the Head of School. Medication required during after-school activities or athletics is to be administered by the Athletic Trainer or his designee as assigned by the Head of School.

With the exception of asthma inhalers, insulin and bee sting kits, which should be with the student at all times, no medication is to be carried with the student during the school day or during after school activities or athletics. 

Self-administration of any medication is prohibited.

All three medication forms listed below are included in the medical mailing for use when needed during the school year.  Additional forms are available in the Health Office.

Daily prescription medication must be in its original labeled pharmacy container and accompanied by a completed Permission to Administer Prescription Medication form, which requires a physician’s signature.  This form is also necessary for asthma inhalers, insulin and bee sting kits.

Short-term prescription medication must be in its original labeled pharmacy container and be accompanied by a completed Permission to Administer Short-Term Prescription Medication form.

Non-prescription/over-the-counter medication, with the exception of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and Advil (Ibuprofen), can be administered during school hours/activities.  The medication, which is supplied by the parent, must be in its original packaging and accompanied by a completed Permission to Administer Non-Prescription Medication form.

Medication required for a field trip, off-campus activity or athletic event, etc. will be sent with the chaperone or coach if the school nurse or athletic trainer are notified in writing by the parent/guardian.

Screenings: State-mandated screenings performed during the school year include:
 Vision every student
 Hearing students in grades seven and eleven
 Scoliosis students in grades six and seven

Disciplinary Methods
Demerits: Demerits are the system of points that determine the student’s grade for conduct.  Any student receiving seven demerits in a quarter fails conduct for that quarter.  Any student receiving 20 demerits in a year fails conduct for the year and must satisfactorily complete 40 hours of service to the school in the summer as a condition for re-admission, promotion or a transcript release.  Conduct failure automatically places a student on disciplinary probation for one year.  During this time, any serious infraction or accumulation of 10 demerits will result in immediate dismissal.

Detention
• Public: Detention is held for 45 minutes at 3:20 p.m. at the discretion of the Dean of Students.  All detentions are served consecutively, one per day, starting the day after they are imposed.  Students will not be permitted to start detention early or late.  A penalty of two demerits and two detentions will be imposed for missing detention.

• Private: Each teacher, in order to maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning, is authorized and encouraged to impose reasonable penalties for misconduct.  For serious misconduct in class, the teacher is directed to refer the case to the Dean of Students. Violations of school rules are to be handled by the Dean of Students.  Failure to satisfy a teacher-imposed penalty is punishable by two public detentions.  Students will not be permitted to start detention early or late.  A penalty of two demerits and two detentions will be imposed for missing detention.

• Saturday Detention: Students who accumulate seven, 10 and 15 demerits will be required to serve a Saturday detention.  These will be held on the second Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.  Students will not be excused from these detentions for any sporting events or other extracurricular activities.  Students will not be permitted to start detention early or late.  A penalty of two demerits and two detentions will be imposed for missing detention.
