Lesson #7: Safety and Security

WM has three, full time security guards: Ms. Greenshields, Mrs. Green, and Ms. Edwards. We also have a school liason officer, Officer Graus. Officer Graus is a member of the Warren Police Department.

For your safety, IDs must be worn at all times. You must be wearing YOUR ID with an accurate grade specific lanyard. Students will not be permitted into class without an ID. A new ID may be purchased for $5 (pay the bookkeeper and take the receipt to your house office). New lanyards cost $3. IDs help us recognize who does not belong in the building and are used to identify students in case of an emergency.

Students are not allowed to leave the building without permission (students with senior status may leave for lunch). If you are leaving, your parent or guardian must call and you must check out/in of your house office or it will be considered a SKIP.

Lesson #12: Bullying

Bullying will not be tolerated at Warren Mott High School and is considered a Major Infraction, up to a 10 day suspension, per the Code of Conduct.

Bullying includes (per Board policy) physical, verbal, and psychological abuse, including hazing, gestures, comments, threats, or actions to a student which cause or threaten to cause bodily harm, reasonable fear for personal safety or personal degradation.

Bullying is any gesture or written, verbal, graphic, or physical act that is reasonably perceived as being motivated by race, color, religion, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental, physical, or sensory disability or impairment.

All such behaviors are considered harassment whether they occur online, via phone/text, on/off school property, at a school-sponsored function, or in a school vehicle.
