Background
Copperas Cove Junior High School is a 6th-8th grade school in a rural town of 30,000.
There are 1000 students and 107 teachers including staff and office personnel. The
school has a reputation for being the bad school where the thugs go, and the admin is
trying really hard to change that perception.
Student Code of Conduct Values Statement
1. (Students are to dress according to the dress code,) no slippers, PJs, no
blankets, or hoodies. All these are huge problems that are daily enforced.
Students have to change into school gym clothes and are called home if out of
the dress code.
2. (No headband ears or tails), this was also a huge problem in years past.
Students would dress like animals and make animal noises in class.
3. (No added materials to outfits are allowed at all.) Students are supposed to wear
spaghetti straps and low-cut or short shirts. Female students that stomach is
showing have to cover up with a jacket or change together. Also, the holes in the
jeans, some of these jeans are completely open and only a sting is holding it
together. Skirts need to be knee length and no shorter than preventable with
shorts under but that is not enforced. Students are to keep their hands to
themselves, but there are a lot of couples that do more than hold hands in the
hallways. Teachers have to monitor the hallways between classes and report any
inappropriate behavior
4. (No cell phones), trying to keep a teenager from their phone is starting to look
like a losing battle. The principal wants a no-phone policy for students throughout
the whole day and throughout the whole building. In years past phones were
allowed before school, lunch, and after school, or even if the student was done
with all work as an award. Well going from that to no phones at all is a huge
battle. Not all teachers enforce it so students use that to their advantage. The
principals started saying if he walks into their classroom and a student is on their
phone the teacher is going o get the write-up.

Student Code of Conduct Topics
1. No personal sports balls are allowed on school property and have some in the
office that has to be returned or just for lunchtime.
2. Makeup tardies and absences. Tardies and absences the time would have to be
made up and not just get a write-up. If you miss an hour you have to make up
that hour
3. No facial paint or masks, students are still wearing masks it is hard to see their
faces or even understand them when they talk.
4. No blankets or pillows or stuffed animals at school. These are such big
distractions and students are so comfortable they just want to sleep in class.
5. No headphones due to not listening to instructions or emergency situations.
6. Strict guidelines and consequences for skipping class.
7. No bullying policy!
If I was a new principal at the school, the first thing I would do is update the code
of conduct. “A code of conduct is a set of values, rules, standards, and principles
outlining what employers expect from staff within an organization.” (2022) I would start
with banning headband ears and pinned tails. This is an increasing problem that
teenagers are beginning to pivot towards. Students dress like animals and make animal
noises in class. This is a huge distraction and causes fights among students. I would
also not allow added materials to outfits. Students are not supposed to wear spaghetti
straps or low-cut shirts. Female students that stomach is showing have to cover up with
a jacket or change altogether. Jeans with holes in them have to go. Some of these
jeans are completely open and only a sting is holding them together. Skirts need to be
knee-length.
The first period is when teachers check for dress code violations, and they send
students to the office. Students are to keep their hands to themselves, but there are a
lot of couples that do more than hold hands in the hallways. Teachers have to monitor
the hallways between classes and report any inappropriate behavior. I would not allow
more than one person out of a class at a time. Teachers are used to sending one boy
and one girl at a time but this causes problems. I would not allow any personal sports
balls at school. This has been a huge problem with students wanting to play ball in the
hallway, and they hit other students or staff members. I myself have been hit several
times with a stray ball down the hallway. I realize some students want to play ball after
lunch, but a few balls that can be checked out at the office would be fine.
I would not allow hoodies at all on school property. Students use these to put in
headphones or earbuds, and they are not listening to instructions which could be
dangerous in a crisis situation. There is a lot of roaming around in middle school.
Students do not want to be in class, so they find every way possible to skip class. I
would increase between-class period sweeps in the bathroom and hallways. I would
enforce a no-bullying policy and a no-tolerance policy for bullying. I can not stand a
student being mean to another. We all have to get along in this world. Everyone lives by
a set of rules set by society in order to avoid chaos, and it is the same for a school
setting. Students have to be taught to get along with each other. We have to have a set
of rules that help keep students safe and these rules need to be enforced.
