Community Awareness
MHS Directory "Asterisk
Program -
The Community Network administers the MHS Directory "Asterisk Program." The
Community Network sends home a Parent Agreement at the beginning
of the school year in which parents agree that they will: actively
chaperone teen socializing in their homes and not allow alcohol
or drugs to be used; welcome telephone calls from other parents
concerning their children and their activities; and have their
names listed in the MHS Student Directory, noted by an asterisk
to reflect their commitment to these actions.
New Student Orientation
for Parents or "Everything You Always
Wanted to Know About Memorial High School That’s Outside
the Manual - The Community Network presents a parent
orientation session each Fall at the beginning of the school year.
In addition to providing practical tips about how things operate
at MHS, parents can ask questions about all of the not-so-obvious
issues that may concern them as the new school year begins.
Community Network
Publications - The Community
Network helped devise and distributes "Drinking and the Law," a
summary of Texas laws concerning the consequences of drinking,
driving, and other offenses relating to minors, and "Hazing & the
Law," which
outlines the law against student hazing or bullying. The Community
Network also has helped develop and recommended chaperone guidelines
for use by parents at high school parties and dances.
The Community Network
Newsletter - The Community Network publishes a newsletter that
is mailed to all MHS parents several times per year. The Community
Network newsletter contains articles by MHS students on such
varied subjects such as parental pressure, "what
I would do if my friend went astray," the MHS Drug Knot, Mustang
Mentor, and SAP (Student Assistance Program) programs, schedules
of upcoming programs, and information about substance abuse resources
available in our community. |
