  • Understands that participation in the club is a privilege that requires ongoing respect for the values of safety, inclusion, and academic integrity

• Parent or guardian withdrawal of membership must be submitted in writing, but prior consents — particularly those involving media and participation agreements — shall continue in effect according to the terms agreed upon at enrollment.

​

🔹 Consequences for Violations

 

​Depending on the severity of the violation, consequences may include:

• Loss of points or privileges

• Temporary suspension from activities

• Removal from Mentor or Scholar eligibility

Decisions are made by club operators with fairness and transparency. Repeat or serious violations will be reported to the student’s school and/or parent/guardian.
