Student Behavior Expectations
2024-2025 Meigs Academic Magnet School Student Behavior Expectations
The staff of Meigs Academic Magnet School believes the environment of the classroom and the overall school should be orderly and free from disruption. We believe our students can and should behave appropriately. We believe appropriate behavior should be modeled, encouraged, and acknowledged. These beliefs have led to the development of our school-wide student support plan.
Expectations for Student Behavior: The Cavalier Code
In support of our beliefs, we have established the following four major expectations for student behavior:
++Be impeccable with your word.
Say only what you mean. Avoid speaking against yourself or gossiping about others.
++Don’t take anything personally.
When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
++Don’t make assumptions.
Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid sadness, misunderstandings, and drama.
++Always do your best.
Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
What Cavalier Code behavior looks like . . .
Lunch
Breakfast and lunch are provided by the cafeteria; however, students are allowed to bring lunch from home. Meigs will not accept food and/or beverage drop-off or delivery originating from outside eating establishments. We will continue to accept forgotten lunches prepared from home for any student.

What Cavalier Code behavior looks like . . .
- Be kind to yourself and others, take care of school property, dress appropriately, and be positive.
- Make good choices, take care of yourself, keep up with your belongings, complete your work on time and
with your best effort, carry your ID Badge at all times, be on time for school and class, and attend class
prepared for success by bringing necessary materials. - Solve problems, use materials wisely, and recycle when possible.
- Ask for help when you need it.
- When students meet or exceed school behavioral expectations, they may receive Live School points and/or Meigs Moolah. Also, students will have the opportunity to participate in various school activities.
- Grade Level Reward Days – e.g., Sports & activities outside & inside, DJ dances, etc. (Qualifications will be determined by grade level teams and sent to students and parents at the beginning of the school year.)
- Weekly Meigs Moolah - Students may use Live School points to purchase Meigs Moolah which can be used as a raffle ticket to win prizes (provided by the Meigs PTO) in weekly drawings. They can also be used as currency to purchase items or privileges at the grade level stores and Reward Days.
- End of Semester Drawings - At the end of each semester, there will be a Meigs Moolah drawing for a grand prize (e.g., iPad mini) provided by the Meigs PTO.
