Billinghurst Orchestra & Band      - Vallejo Tour 2012

Behavior Contract   Return to Mr. or Mrs. Neidhold by October 1^st

Student Name_______________________________________________(please print)

The purpose of this contract is to insure a successful and enjoyable trip for all students.

Participation in the Vallejo performance and tour is dependent on satisfactory behavior during the 2010-11 school year.  Student’s behavior in class and in school will have bearing on tour participation.  Students receiving Citizenship grades lower than a B in their respective Orchestra or Band class or students who are suspended or expelled during the school year may be eliminated from the tour at Mr. or Mrs. Neidhold’s discretion.

Students are expected to act with mature behavior on the tour.  The students of the Billinghurst music ensembless will be polite to other groups performing at the festival, follow all of the bus drivers instructions, keep noise levels down in the hotel and act with good citizenship to Billinghurst students and any other people encountered on the trip.

No alcohol, drugs, illegal substances or weapons of any kind.  No fighting.

Students will be at all announced meeting places on time and obey the hotel curfew.

Cell phones and personal music devices, such as iPods, are allowed.  Students will not carry any electronic device into the performance venue.  Students and parents acknowledge that Billinghurst Middle School, the charter bus company, chaperones and teachers are not responsible for any personal belongings.

The Billinghurst dress code will be enforced on Friday, May 11, 2012.  On Saturday, May 12^th students will be allowed to wear more relaxed clothing including hats.  All clothing must be decent and civilized with no foul language or alcohol/cigarette advertisements or clothing that might be associated with gang activity.  Mr. or Mrs. Neidhold reserve the right to ask a student to change their clothes if she deems the clothing inappropriate.

Parents understand if a student breaks this Behavior Contract during the trip, they (the parents) will, at their own expense, come pick up their child and return them home separately from the tour group.  (Students, this means if you do not have appropriate behavior on the trip, Mr. or Mrs. Neidhold will call your parents to come get you in middle of the trip.  You will return home with your parents.)

Parents understand that if a student is suspended or expelled from Billinghurst they will jeopardize their right to attend the trip and any funds paid to date.

I agree to abide by all of the Behavior Expectations:
