Marist HIGH SCHOOL
2014– 2015 STUDENT-PARENT HANDBOOK AGREEMENT
Every student and his parents or guardians are required to sign this agreement and
return it to their homeroom teacher by Monday, September 15, 2015. No student will be
allowed to remain in school unless this signed form is on file. It is a contract between the
school and family.

Homeroom: ______
Parent Daytime Telephone:_____________________________________________________
Parent E-mail_________________________________________________________________
By our signatures below we acknowledge that we have read, are aware of, and agree to be
governed by all of the policies and procedures contained in the 2014 – 2015 StudentParent Handbook.
As a parent or legal guardian, I fully agree to and understand my financial obligations to
Marist High School as set forth in this handbook. I understand that it is my sole
responsibility to pay all tuition, book fees, technology fees, workbook fees and incidental
fees, and that I have no expectation that Marist High School will reduce or subsidize any
charge or fee for me. I acknowledge that the school itself cannot offer me any reduction
or financial aid. Students with past due tuition can be required to leave the school until
such time as their accounts are paid in full. Students with any remaining financial
obligations during the summer cannot return to school for the new term in the fall until
all obligations from the previous school year are completely paid. I also understand that
the school will withhold all transcripts, report cards, yearbooks and diplomas for
students with any unpaid financial obligations, and that students with unpaid financial
obligations cannot attend any school functions, including the prom. I hold Marist High
School free of any liability for any negative effect these actions may have upon my child. I
recognize that as a private Catholic school, Marist has a legal right to withhold such items
until my account is completely paid. By my signature, I am also requesting the loan of
textbooks from the Department of Education.
While these signatures do not necessarily mean agreement with all school policies, they
do indicate acceptance that failure to comply with any of the requirements in this
handbook will result in disciplinary action including detention, suspension, forced
withdrawal and expulsion according to formal procedures.
Technology Use Contract
In addition to the policies set forth in this Agenda Book, I have also read the Acceptable
Use Policy set forth in section 6 of this Handbook as well as the following:
Student Contract
I have read the Acceptable Use Policy for use of technology resources at Marist High
School found in the Agenda Book. I understand and will abide by the stated terms. I
further understand that violation of the regulations is unethical, a violation of school
rules, and may even constitute a criminal offense. Should I commit any violation, I
understand that any access privileges may be revoked and school disciplinary action may
be taken. Appropriate legal action may also result. My signature below validates this
contract while I am a student of Marist High School.
Parent/Guardian Contract
As the parent/guardian of this student, I have read the Acceptable Use Policy for the use
of technology resources at Marist High School. I understand that the school has taken
appropriate precautions to eliminate controversial material. However, I also recognize it
is impossible for Marist High School and system administrators to restrict access to all
controversial materials, and I will not hold them responsibility for materials acquired
through the network. Further, I accept full responsibility for supervision if and when the
student uses the computer outside of the school setting.

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this Handbook
This Student-Parent Handbook is intended to provide Marist High School
students and their parents or guardians with a ready explanation of
school policies, regulations and other requirements. All students, parents
and guardians must familiarize themselves thoroughly with this
information. Ignorance of school regulations and requirements will not
be accepted as an excuse for violations.
1.2 Signed Agreement Required
Every student and his parents or guardians must signify in writing their
knowledge and understanding of their responsibilities and duties by
submitting the signed and dated agreement page that appears at the
front of this handbook. In no case will a student be allowed to attend
Marist High School unless both the student and parents or guardians
detach, sign and return the handbook agreement that appears at the
front of this book.
This handbook exists to foster the efficient operation of Marist High
School. To meet this objective, the school Administration is given
flexibility and the ability to exercise discretion. In appropriate
circumstances, the Head of School has the discretion to take actions
other than those specified in the handbook. This handbook is not
intended and should not be considered to create any additional rights
for students or parents/guardians.
1.3 Expectations for Parents and Guardians
Because parents and guardians freely choose to enroll their sons and
daughters in Marist High School, they are required to support the
school’s mission and philosophy and to cooperate with the school’s
policies and procedures.
Parents and guardians have duties including, but not limited to, the
following:
•
ensuring that the student has adequate sleep the night before
each school day, attends school except when serious illness
makes this impossible, and arrives at school on time each day
properly dressed in the Marist School Uniform and neatly
groomed;
•
paying tuition and other obligations on time;
•
returning all required parental paperwork on time, including
the handbook agreement form each year and the appropriate
medical form when the student begins at Marist;
•
responding promptly to phone calls from all school personnel;
and
•
keeping the school informed promptly of all changes in
address and home, work, cell and emergency contact phone
numbers.
When parents are not compliant with the requirements above, students
may be suspended from class. If the non-compliance continues or is
repeated, it may lead to the student having to withdraw from the school,
at the sole discretion of the Administration.
Parents and guardians must treat all school staff with courtesy and
respect. If a parent or guardian engages in disrespectful conduct with a
school staff member, including but not limited to yelling, cursing,
threatening, intimidating or assaulting, then the Head of Schooll may, at
his/her sole discretion, require the parent or guardian to end their
relationship with the school and immediately withdraw their child or
children from the school.
1.4 Interpretation
The Administration of the School shall be the final arbiter in interpreting
the language and intent of all sections of this handbook.
1.5 Amendment
The Administration reserves the right to amend this handbook from time
to time and shall give notice of such amendment through e-mail,
newsletter, or by issuing a new edition of the handbook at the start of
each school year.
1.6 Saving Clause
This handbook constitutes a contract between the parents, the student,
and the school. If any part of the handbook is found to be contrary to
law, only the portion contrary to law shall be deemed void. The
remainder of the handbook shall remain in full force and effect.
2. MARIST HIGH SCHOOL
2.1 Mission Statement
Marist High School is a Catholic, college preparatory, co-educational
school, inspired and motivated by the charism of St. Marcellin
Champagnat, the founder of the Marist Brothers.
The school creates a community of lifelong, faith-filled learners who are
prepared to take their places as enlightened, educated members of a
complex, multicultural society.
Marist’s commitment to excellence fosters the development of mind,
body, and spirit through a partnership of families, faculty, school board,
and staff by offering a curriculum, infused with Gospel values, that
challenges an academically diverse student body.
2.2 Philosophy

students are respected and appreciated. St. Marcellin Champagnat’s
emphasis on the importance of loving each student as an individual is a

social development and a responsibility to respect the rights of others.

2.4 Marks of a Marist Student





Faith-filled Disciples: Marist students come to possess a strong
sense of God and a personal relationship with Jesus, Mary, and
St. Marcellin Champagnat fostered through religious
formation, a sacramental life, and prayer
Empowered Witnesses: Maris students, recognizing Mary as
their model and companion, become joyful witnesses to God’s
love in their lives, enabling them to see Christ in others, to live
simply, morally, and with integrity, respecting all of life and
creation.
Agents of Justice and Service: Marist students grow in their
understanding of Catholic social teaching and stand in
compassionate solidarity with the least favored.
Servant Leaders: Marist students recognize that they are
lovingly created by God with unique gifts and talents which,
through their Baptism, they are called to develop and share
with the Church and the wider community.
Spirit-filled Members of Family & Community : Marist
students embody a spirit which celebrates and welcomes all
people as members of the one family created by God.
2.5 History
Marist first opened its doors in September 1954 to welcome 140 boys on
8th street and Kennedy Boulevard. Under the leadership of Br. Leo
Sylvius, the school's first Head of School, Marist High School quickly
established a reputation for excellence.
Strong support from parents and the wider community made it
imperative to plan a new and larger school. In 1962 its present campus
was acquired, and on April 23, 1964 ground was broken for a new
building which would tie together existing buildings on the campus. The
result was a more contemporary structure with twenty-four classrooms,
lecture rooms and laboratories for physics, chemistry, biology, earth
science and physical science, keyboarding and technical drawing rooms,
an art studio, a computer center, and music rooms. An extensive library
with a complete audio-visual department, a School Counseling complex
with a career resource center, together with a large gymnasiumauditorium complex and a spacious cafeteria, complete the school
building.
In 1977 Marist acquired additional land for expanding the campus's
athletic facilities. In September of 1986, Marist High School began
accepting young women. The new Library Media Center opened its
doors in September 2007. The MEDQUEST simulation lab was
constructed in 2012. Technology One-to-One Initiative began in 2013.
Marist High School was founded to provide Catholic secondary
education in the Bayonne-Jersey City area. Marist maintains high
academic standards, providing both college preparatory and honors
courses along with required and elective courses specifically designed for
students with varying interests and ability levels. Marist provides
discipline and an orderly learning environment. Marist believes that
while our facilities are excellent, our greatest strength is our dedicated
and competent staff. Marist has teachers, counselors, and
administrators who are genuinely interested in students. Marist is
equally proud of its graduates and its present students who value Marist
above all else for its “family” atmosphere and who strive to exemplify
the Marist values of Perseverance, Professional Behavior, Honesty,
Respect and Responsibility.
2.6 Administration
Marist High School is owned and administered by the Marist Brothers of
the Schools, a religious congregation with a history of Christian
education stretching back to 1817. The Provincial Council of the Marist
Brothers serves as the Board of Trustees. The Head of school is
appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees also appoints
a local School Board of limited jurisdiction to assist in the governance of
the school. The School Board is not an ownership board and it is not
authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the school. This is the
purview of the president. The Head of School appoints the Dean of
Academics and the Dean of Students. The Head of School, Deans, along
with the Chief Advancement Officers, comprise the School
Administration.
2.7 Faculty
At Marist, a dedicated teaching and counseling staff, composed of Marist
Brothers, Sisters, and lay colleagues, stands ready to serve the young
men and women of Marist High School. Our faculty blends the
experience of veteran educators with the enthusiasm of young teachers.
Together, they seek to form a partnership with parents and guardians in
the upbringing and education of the students in their care.
2.8 Accreditation
Marist High School is accredited by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools and is a member of the Marist Network of Schools.
3. Student and Parent Rights
By a student’s attendance at the school, a student and his parents or
guardians acknowledge the important obligations and restrictions
contained in this handbook and agree to be bound by the terms of this
handbook.
Students attending Marist High School relinquish certain rights they
might otherwise be entitled to if they were attending a public school. For
example, a student’s freedom of speech is limited in some respects.
Speech, written or oral, contrary or disruptive to the philosophy and
purposes of this school is prohibited. Another important right a student
surrenders involves searches and seizures. School administrators may
search a student’s person and belongings if there is a reasonable belief,
in the sole opinion of the school administrator, that contraband, illegal
substances or inappropriate objects are being concealed. Any
unauthorized items found may be seized. Additionally, student desks and
lockers, which are at all times under the joint control of the school and
the student to whom the desk or locker has been assigned, may be
searched by school administrators at any time, for any reason or for no
reason. Students should have absolutely no expectation of privacy with
regard to any item in their desks or lockers or on their school issued
laptop or postings on social media.
Another important right that a student and his parents or guardians give
up when they decide to have a student attend this school is the right to
sue the school or the Marist Brothers, and/or any individual acting on
behalf of the school, such as school administrators, teachers, staff or any
of their agents for any matter relating to academic or disciplinary
decisions or other matters covered in this handbook. Students, parents,
and guardians, by their acceptance of enrollment at Marist High School,
agree to and accept the school’s rule and policy that students, parents
and guardians may not bring any civil action in any local, state, or federal
court or in any administrative agency or body to challenge any school
decision on academic or disciplinary matters, including any decision
relating to the rules, regulations, procedures or programs covered within
this handbook. Students, parents and guardians agree that any challenge
to any school academic or disciplinary action or relating to the rules,
regulations, procedures or programs covered in this handbook may be
challenged or appealed only within the hierarchy of the school, subject
to the limitations contained in this handbook. This includes any decision
relating to a student’s enrollment at the school or termination of
enrollment.
While any student and his parents or guardians are, of course, free to
consult with legal counsel regarding any school decision taken with
respect to a student, the school emphasizes that students and parents or
guardians are not permitted to have legal counsel present during any
meetings with school administrators. School administrators are not
obligated to meet with legal counsel at any time.
There are several grounds for disciplinary action or expulsion set forth in
the discipline section of this handbook. It should be noted, however,
that any listing of prohibited conduct is set forth by way of example only
and to provide School Counseling to the student and his parents or
guardians. It is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of improper
conduct or resultant disciplinary action.
3.1 Re-Registration Policy
All students are invited back annually by Marist High School. The school
reserves the right to refuse re-registration at the discretion of the
Administration.
3.2 Student Communication with Staff
Students sometimes share confidences with staff in School Counseling
interviews or in journals or other forms of communication. Such
communication is not legally privileged, and the staff has an obligation
to tell the Administration immediately if a student’s revelations pose a
danger to the health, life or safety of the student or of any other person.
3.3 Civil Authorities
Marist High School strives to ensure the safety, security and well-being
of all. The Administration will therefore cooperate fully with any
investigations by civil authorities that, in the sole judgment of the
Administrationl, are intended to safeguard any member of society. These
include, but are not limited to, investigations by the Department of
Youth Services (DYFS) or other child welfare authorities, the police, the
district attorney, or the court system.
3.4 Publications and Public Speech
The school reserves the right to control the content of all school
publications, including but not limited to the yearbook, any school
newspapers, web sites, literary magazines, or other media. It also
reserves the right to control the content of public speech or expression
at any school function. As a private school, Marist High School is not a
government agency, and so is not restricted by First Amendment rights
of free speech or expression. It therefore exercises editorial control over
all its publications and events to ensure alignment with the school’s
mission and philosophy, at the sole discretion of the Administration.
4. Academics
4.1 Admission
Admission to Marist High School is based upon successful completion of
all eighth grade work, including the final grading period of the eighth
grade. Other criteria for admission to Marist High School include
successful completion of the high school entrance examination
administered by the Archdiocese of Newark or other standardized test
scores if the entrance exam was not taken and a recommendation from
the elementary school Head of School. Admission to Marist High School
in grades ten through twelve will be based upon a review of the
applicant's academic record, an interview, and the recommendation of
their prior school.
4.2 Academic Programs
Marist High School offers three levels of study: Advanced
Placement, Honors, and College Preparatory. Many electives are
offered in a variety of departments including art, business and
technology. Students have the opportunity to take courses in
varying levels depending on their proficiency and achievement each
year. In addition, Marist offers several unique programs such as
MEDQUEST for students who are interested in a medical career,
the Champagnat Scholars Program for the gifted and talented

Scheduling
For Class Requirements see Appendix A
4.4.1
Course Selections
A full description of courses is found in the Curriculum Guide which
is posted on the website. Programming of students begins after the
first semester. Counselors and teachers guide students toward
courses suited to their abilities. All placements are made by the
school in conjunction with parental approval. Although changes can
be requested by the student/parent, final decisions concerning a
student's schedule can be made only with teacher and counselor
approval.
The school reserves the right to make any changes in the subject
chosen, when the circumstances, such as the following, warrant
such changes:
1. Failure of a subject at end of year;
2. Courses not being offered because of lack of enrollment;
3. Results of standardized testing and/or performance on
school semester exams.
4. Over enrollment in an individual course.
Admission to all courses after the 9th grade is based on
departmental approval. Students who do not receive departmental
approval must select alternate courses. The school reserves the
right to drop any course in which an insufficient number of
students are enrolled. Also, scheduling conflicts may require
choosing an alternate course.
4.4.2 Course Registration
Course registration cannot be processed until a student is officially
registered for the fall semester which includes submitting the
registration form and the payment of the registration fee. Students
are scheduled into electives based on the order of registration.
4.4.3 Course Changes
Generally speaking, all course changes will be initiated by school
personnel. Because students' schedules are based on their ability
and interest, parents should use discretion in requesting any course
changes. Changes should always be the exception, rather than the
rule.

Progress Reports
Progress reports are e-mailed to parents at the midpoint of the first,
second and third marking periods. These reports indicate student
progress or lack of progress in all academic subjects. Parents and
students are urged to take immediate steps to remedy these early
indications of poor performance. While progress reports are useful, they
only reflect the work done up to the midpoint of the marking period.
Students who were passing for the first half of a marking period may still
be assigned a failing grade for the marking period if their work later that
marking period is deficient.
4.5.3
Marking Periods
Report cards are issued four times each school year. Parent-teacher
conferences are scheduled after the first and third marking period as
noted in the calendar. The second and fourth marking period report
cards are mailed home.
4.5.4
Exams
Absence from a mid-term or final exam is permissible by doctor
excuse only. Any student, who does not take the final exam by the
final make-up date, will receive no credit for the course. Students,
who earn a 91 or above, in every marking period and in the mid-term
examination in a subject, may be exempt from the final examination
in that subject. Students who earn less than 55 on the final exam will
not receive credit for the course regardless of what the average in
the course is and must attend summer school to receive credit for
the course.
4.5.5
Final Average and Grades
A student's final average in a five (5) credit subject will be
calculated as follows: 20% of the 1st quarter grade; 20% of the 2nd
quarter grade; 10% of the mid-term exam; 20% of the 3rd quarter
grade and 20% of the 4th quarter grade and 10% of the final exam.
4.5.6
Weighted Courses
Advanced level honors courses and advanced placement courses
receive additional weighting in the computation of a student's
average. An honors course has a weight of 1.04; an advanced
placement course carries a weight of 1.08 if the student takes the
AP exam. The fee for the AP exam will be added to the tuition
starting in November. The deadline to opt out of taking the exam is
the end of February. Opting out of the AP exam will result in the
removal of the AP Course designation and a reduction of weighting
to 1.04. All other courses have a weight of 1.00.
4.5.7 Study Hall
Students who fail two (2) or more subjects in a marking period are
placed in academic STUDY HALL the next marking period. The
student must attend STUDY HALL, Monday through Thursday from
2:40-3:40 PM. The charge for this 8 week session is $25.00 due by
the end of the first full week. A weekly progress report will be filled
out for each student by the teacher whose subjects he/she failed. It
is the parent's responsibility to sign the report and send it back to
the school.
Students in STUDY HALL may not participate in activities or
athletics from 2:40-3:40 PM and athletes may not participate in any
games. After four weeks, each student's progress will be reevaluated. If the student is passing all subjects failed, he/she may
resume regular participation in activities/sports at the discretion of
the Administration. However, the student continues to attend
STUDY HALL.
Students may leave STUDY HALL with permission to receive teacher
assistance or to attend tutoring. Tutoring will be provided by the
National Honor Society members on Monday through Thursdays in

maintained an 85% average or better will earn membership in this
society. The student must also make a commitment to continue the
study of Spanish and to be involved in related extra-curricular activities.
4.7 Homework and Study Time
Home study is a daily expectation designed to allow each student to
keep up with class work, review the work of the day, and make longrange preparation for tests and examinations. Parents should be sure
that students bring home schoolbooks every day and use them. Students
will usually be assigned 20-30 minutes of homework in each subject per
day. All assignments are to be recorded by the student in his/her agenda
book. Teachers also post homework on MHS on-line which is accessed
through the school website. All assignments, unless otherwise stipulated
by the classroom teacher, are to be done neatly, with blue or black pen,
on standard 8 1/2 x 11 loose leaf paper. Assignments torn out of
notebooks are not acceptable at Marist. Students are encouraged to
exhibit pride in their work by devoting sufficient time to its
accomplishment, realizing that the quality of schoolwork reflects the
person who has submitted it. No late work will be accepted.
4.8 Required Materials
Students are mandated to maintain neat and accurate notebooks which
can be invaluable tools in reviewing key concepts, as well as essential
aids to daily assignments, preparation for quizzes and tests, etc.
Students are required to have in class with them each day the
appropriate materials so that class time will not be interrupted by pupils
who are unprepared to do class work. “H-Plant” is a term learned by
freshmen: Homework, pen/pencil, loose leaf, agenda book, notebook,
and textbook. Likewise, the Chromebook is to be brought to every class
every day.
4.9 Cheating and Plagiarism
Cheating includes both the giving and the receiving of impermissible
information during an examination, including but not limited to the
possession of unauthorized notes or materials of any kind,
communicating with another student, looking at another student’s exam
paper or placing an answer paper where it is easy for another student to
copy. Plagiarism is presenting the work of another as if it were one’s
own. Cheating or plagiarism will result in academic and disciplinary
sanctions. Acts of cheating and/or plagiarism may prohibit a student’s
induction into or standing in the National Honor Society.
4.10 Transfer Students
Admission to Marist High School after grade 9 is based upon a review of
the applicant’s academic record, an interview and the recommendation
from their prior school. New students are given special orientation,
attention and follow-up by members of the School Counseling
Department to help with their smooth adjustment into the Marist
program. New students who enter into sophomore, junior or senior year
at Marist are considered probationary for one semester during which
time their class work and conduct are evaluated and presented by their
teachers and counselor to the Administration. If, at anytime during this
semester, their performance is less than what might be expected, they
may be asked to withdraw with no refund of tuition.
4.11 Transcripts
A transcript is an official record of courses taken, credits earned, and
grades received. An official transcript bears the seal of Marist. Official
transcripts are not given to students or graduates, but mailed directly to
institutions or persons considering the applicant for admission or for
employment. A copy of the transcript can be given to the student;
however, this transcript is considered unofficial since it does not bear
the school seal. Marist accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of an
unofficial transcript after it has been issued. The charge for each
transcript is $5.00. In the case of senior college applications the cost is
$2.00.
5. Campus Ministry and School Counseling
Marist High School is dedicated to the development of the whole
person: mind, body and spirit. In addition to the academic and
extracurricular/athletic programs, School Counseling and Campus
Ministry combine to address the social, emotional, and spiritual aspects
of the student.
5.1 Campus Ministry Office
Located on the third floor in the corner of the building, Campus Ministry
is an office that the students pass during the school day. It is a warm
inviting place where a student can stop for a friendly word. The Campus
Minister is there to lend spiritual School Counseling and a listening heart.
The focus of Campus Ministry is three-fold: prayer, service and retreats.
5.1.1 Prayer and Liturgy
The school day begins with prayer that unites the student with the
international Marist family. Students are expected to stand with
reverence at these times and to participate as they feel comfortable. In
addition, each class begins with a prayer.
Once a month, the student body gathers in a school wide liturgy in the
gym or as a religion class in Marist’s newly renovated chapel. While all
students are required to attend, Marist recognizes, respects, and
appreciates the religious diversity of the student body and makes every
effort to design services that are distinctly Catholic yet inclusive. All
students are expected to behave with appropriate reverence and respect
during these services.
5.1.2 Service
Campus Ministry and other after school-sponsored activities provide
ample opportunities for service: the donation of food at Thanksgiving
time, two annual blood drives, Relay for Life, just to name a few.
Students are widely encouraged to take an active role to do what they
can “for the least of our brothers”.
In order to teach and model the importance of service and volunteerism
to the community, Marist sponsors two Service Days, one in the fall and
one in the spring, when faculty and students perform service together.
Freshmen work at local food bank, Sophomores perform major chores
around the school, Juniors do a beach clean-up, and the Seniors sign up
to help out at various locations in Hudson and Essex Counties such as
Suits for Success, Saint Joseph’s School for the Blind, Saint Anne’s Home
for the Elderly, or Saint John’s Soup Kitchen in Newark. These days are
preceded and followed by prayer and reflection conducted in the
religion classes. Participation in days of service is a privilege granted at
the discretion of the Administration.
All students are encouraged to create their own service portfolio which
contains not only service experience s at Marist but ones they
participate in outside of school. They should give documentation of
service to their Counselor for safe keeping. Many colleges and
scholarships require proof of service as part of their application. The
Campus Minister can write a summary letter for this purpose if the
documentation is present in the counseling folder.
5.1.3 Retreats
The Marist Brothers own and run a beautiful retreat center in Esopus,
New York which is located along the Hudson River about two hours
north of Marist, Bayonne. This idyllic spot becomes a home away from
home for many of our students and alumni from Marist schools
throughout the United States. Participating in community days and
retreats on the Esopus property is a large part of the Marist High School
experience.
Parents are encouraged to have their child become part of this
important program where students share spirituality, build community,
and create memories that last a lifetime. Freshmen and sophomores are
offered a day trip; juniors have an overnight leadership retreat; seniors
have an opportunity to attend Encounter, a four-day retreat during
which they deepen their faith and spirituality.
All trips to Esopus incur a modest cost which is due along with the signed
permission slip. If a student is unable to pay the required fee, the parent
should call the Campus Minister who can resolve the issue. Trips to
Esopus are a privilege granted at the discretion of the Administration.
5.2 School Counseling
Marist High School takes a broad view of high school counseling
encompassing mind, body and spirit. Academic school counseling and
career counseling are enhanced by personal and group counseling that
addresses issues typically found among an adolescent population. Each
student is assigned a School Counselor in freshman year who will remain
that student’s counselor until graduation.
Students are encouraged to seek advice whenever the need arises. At
the request of a student, parent, or an administrator, counselors can
provide a referral to other specialists or agencies that may be more
helpful with a particular problem or with a more serious issue. As a
school-based program, school counseling sessions are not a replacement
for therapy sessions.
5.2.1 Counseling Services
Marist Counseling consists of one-to-one counseling, group sessions in
areas such as Anger Management, Bereavement, Socialization, etc. and
college application counseling. All visits are by appointment.
5.2.2 College Application Process
The Counseling Department provides information about applying for
admission to college and applying for financial aid. However, the
responsibility for investigating colleges, taking entrance exams, and
completing applications on time rests entirely with the student and
his/her family. Students should begin the college search in the spring of
junior year. It is imperative that the student has narrowed down his /her
choices by September of senior year.
Students should submit all forms to the School Counselor well in
advance of any due date to allow time for processing. The school’s SAT
code is 310070.
The student must give a copy of all letters of acceptance and scholarship
awards to their School Counselor.
5.2.3 Parent/Guardian Appointments and Phone Conferences
Marist High School encourages parents/guardians to play an active role
in the student’s development. Seeking the advice of the school
counselor or informing the school counselor of difficult situations
outside of school life is expected. School Counselors will return all
e-mails and voicemails within 24 hours. Calling ahead for an
appointment will ensure that the Counselor is available to give full
attention.
6. Technology
Marist High School offers a great deal of technology to our students.
The school offers three computer labs, wireless connectivity
throughout the building, a digital library and a One-to-One program
utilizing Google Chromebooks. Students are provided with unique
logins for the computers and their own email address for better
communication between peers and teachers

Attendance
7.1 Attendance Policies and Procedures
Marist High School affirms the close relationship between maximum
educational accomplishments and regular, punctual attendance. The
regular contact of students with one another in the classroom and their
participation in instructional activities are vital to attaining a quality
education. Frequent absences disturb the continuity of instruction which
cannot be reproduced by makeup work. By attending regularly, the
student develops a habit of responsibility.
Parents and guardians are expected to know and to follow the policies
and procedures outlined below. The parent/guardian must not permit
absences for other than serious, unavoidable reasons. A student of
compulsory school age who does not attend school is in violation of the
law. Therefore, it is the attendance policy of Marist High School that all
students attend school regularly and comply with all of its attendance
procedures.
7.1.1
1.
2.
3.
Absence Reporting Procedures
For every day that a student is absent, a parent/guardian is
required to telephone the school 201-437-4545 (Extension
201) between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM to report the absence. If a
call is not received by 9:00AM, the school will make reasonable
effort to reach the parent/guardian to verify the legitimacy of
the student's absence.
On the day of his/her return, a parent/guardian is required to
confirm the absence in writing by providing the student with a
note containing the following:

Current date

Student's full name and Homeroom

Dates(s) and reason(s) for the absence

Parent/Guardian signature

Contact phone number
On the day of his/her return, the student must report to the
Attendance Office between 7:30AM and 8:05AM to present
the note. The student is responsible for reminding
parents/guardians to telephone the school, and for making
4.
5.
sure that the note is written and delivered to the school.
Failure to do so may lead to a school detention.
An absence of three consecutive school days requires a
doctor’s note.
Students who have eight or more unexcused absences at the
time of midterm examinations will be placed on attendance
probation.
7.1.2 Pre-Arranged Absences
The student will present a written note from a parent/guardian to the
Dean of Students, one day in advance of the absence. We strongly urge
that student appointments with medical/professional persons and all
other organizations be made outside of normal school hours. On rare
occasions when such an appointment is unavoidable, the student should
attend school for as much of the day as possible. The student will be
responsible for presenting documentation verifying the appointment
upon returning to school. Students should request assignments in
advance and have the work completed upon return. Students must
report to the Attendance Office prior to leaving school. Days or portions
of days missed during a pre-arranged absence are counted toward the
Eighteen-Day Absence Rule.
7.1.3 Makeup Privileges
Makeup privileges are generally granted for absences other than
truancy. It is the student's responsibility to work individually with the
teachers in a timely manner to receive credit, or to follow the makeup
guidelines established by the teachers for tests, class work and
assignments missed.
7.2 Truancy
Students who are absent from school or leave school during the regular
hours of school without parental knowledge, in defiance of parental
authority, and without the permission of school authorities are
considered truant.
7.2.1 Truancy From School
The following interventions and consequences will be applied on the first
occurrence of truancy from a full day of the student's program of
studies:

Notification of parent/guardian;


Forfeiture of credit for tests, quizzes, class work and
assignments missed;
To (2) hours of School Detention for every hour missed.
The school community will make every effort to assist the student and
his or her family in determining and combating the root cause of the
truancy. Any subsequent truancy from school may be cause for
dismissal. Marist High School will fully comply with the truancy reporting
requirements of the State of New Jersey and refer students and families
to appropriate agencies for support services when necessary.
7.2.2 Truancy From Class
The following interventions and consequences will be applied on the first
occurrence of truancy from a class period without an excuse from a
school counselor or administrator:
1. Notification of parent/guardian;
2. Forfeiture of credit for tests, quizzes, class work and
assignments.
3. Two (2) hours of School Detention;
7.2.3 Truancy From an Assigned Activity
The following consequences will be applied on the first occurrence of
truancy from homeroom, activity period, assembly, religious service, or
lunch period without an excuse from a teacher, counselor, moderator,
or administrator:
1. Notification of parent/guardian;
2. Two (2) hours of School Detention.
7.3
Punctuality
Lateness causes significant disruption for administrators, teachers, and
school staff. It is the student's responsibility to prepare for unforeseen
circumstances which can result in lateness to school, especially
inclement weather. Students are expected to be on time for all classes
and other school functions. The policy of Marist High School regarding
lateness is as follows:
Students who are late to school/homeroom/class:

will report to the Attendance Office to obtain a pass for
lateness to school or homeroom;

will report directly to class and be marked late by the teacher;

will serve detention for lateness to school, homeroom or class
of up to one hour depending on the extent of the lateness;

may forfeit credit for assignments given, assignments
collected, class work; quizzes and tests depending on the
particular circumstances.
On those rare occasions, when lateness is beyond the student's control,
the parent or guardian should write a note explaining the circumstances
causing the lateness to school. In these cases, the student may be
excused from serving detention; however, a student's transcript will
reflect excused lateness. A student cannot accumulate more than five (5)
incidents of excused lateness to school during an academic year.
8. Discipline
As a Catholic, Christian Community, Marist High School fosters a
peaceful environment where students can learn with a seriousness of
purpose. Students are expected to be respectful and to cooperate
with school rules and to exhibit the Marist Values at all times.
8.1 Marist Core Values
Marist High School students are expected to embody the following
core values:

respect;

professional behavior;

responsibility;

honesty;

perseverance;
8.2 DISCIPLINARY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Marist High School works diligently to promote a positive, high
quality academic and social environment in the Catholic, Christian
tradition where students practice self-discipline and take personal
responsibility for their actions. Our disciplinary policies and
procedures exist to help students understand the expectations and
behaviors that constitute good school citizenship. Self-discipline and
personal responsibility are essential for developing self-control,
character, orderliness, and efficiency; they serve as the foundation
for good conduct and proper consideration for other people.
Students are always required to behave according to the
expectations of our school community when interacting with other
students as well as with administrators, teachers, other school
employees and all those in the surrounding community. Students
who do not adhere to the school rules at large will be subject to
disciplinary measures. A basic responsibility of those who enjoy the
privilege of attending Marist is to adhere to its policies and
procedures. We will assist those students who commit infractions to
understand and change behavior. Ultimately, it is the student's
obligation to know and adhere to all the requirements for attending
Marist High School.
Students are responsible for disciplinary infractions committed not
only while at school, but also during all authorized school activities,
including interscholastic activities, extracurricular activities and other
school functions, including while in transit to and from school. In no
small measure, a school is judged by the off-campus behavior of its
students. Students are expected to be respectful of our neighbors,
their property, and the community, at large. Therefore, Marist High
School reserves the right to review any off-campus conduct that
detracts from the school's values and morals, or that hinders the
advancement of the school's reputation in the community, especially
while wearing the school uniform.
8.3 The Discipline Continuum: Infractions, Interventions and
Consequences
The discipline continuum identifies the types of infractions that are
not acceptable at our school and the hierarchy of interventions
which can be expected when misconduct occurs. The discipline
continuum cannot cover each and every situation that might arise,
and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Marist High School reserves
the right to take any disciplinary action necessary to promote a
safe, orderly, and effective educational environment, and to
prevent any interference with an educational function. Disciplinary
interventions and consequences are based on the seriousness,
frequency, and motivation that appear to underlie the student's
conduct. Disciplinary policies and procedures will be implemented
in a swift, consistent, firm, and fair manner. Teachers and
administrators will make decisions based upon available facts,
good judgment, common sense, and the good of the school
community. Throughout any disciplinary action, the student will be
treated with respect and dignity.
8.3.1
CATEGORY 1 INFRACTIONS DEFINITION
Conduct that disrupts impedes or interferes with orderly classroom
operations and the quality of the learning environment. These
infractions are handled by the classroom teacher. However, a

It is the intent of the Marist High School administration to support
teachers in the area of student discipline and classroom behavior.
Each teacher will establish and communicate guidelines to
establish an appropriate learning environment for his or her
students.

8.4 Procedural Steps in the Discipline Process: The Discipline
Continuum
The steps in the discipline continuum shown below are based on
the belief that the student can and must conform his or her
behavior to Marist High School standards. We also recognize that
the student will make some mistakes in the learning process.
However, the student must take the ultimate responsibility and
consequences for his or her choices.
8.4.1 Discipline Continuum Suspension Steps
Step 1 The accumulation of seven hours of school detention
resulting from disciplinary infractions will lead to a one-day InSchool Suspension. Even though the detentions might have been
served it is the accumulation of detention hours that causes the inschool suspension. If the in-school suspension occurs before all
hours of detention have been served, those hours of detention
must be served after the in-school suspension.
Step 2 The accumulation of seven additional hours of school
detention resulting from disciplinary infractions will lead to a twoday in-School Suspension.
Step 3 The accumulation of seven additional hours of school detention
resulting from disciplinary infractions may lead to expulsion.
8.4.2 Expulsion
A total of three (3) in school school suspensions incurred during a
given school year may lead to expulsion from Marist High School.
Suspensions may be incurred along the discipline continuum or as a
result of immediate out-of-school suspensions arising from serious
disciplinary infractions.
8.5 Definitions
8.5.1 Teacher Detention
Held after school, a teacher detention is assigned and supervised by the
teacher for up to one hour on a day determined by the teacher. This
form of detention is assigned for infractions of classroom rules and
procedures. Serious or persistent infractions of classroom rules and
procedures may be referred to the Dean of Students. Administrative
action taken in response to these disciplinary infractions will be reported
to the teacher. Cutting a teacher detention will result in school
detention. In the event that a student is assigned to both a teacher and a
school detention on the same day, the teacher detention takes priority.
However, the student will be required to serve the school detention on
the next school day.
8.5.2 Disciplinary Referrals
Serious or persistent infractions of classroom rules and procedures may
be referred to the Dean of Students. Administrative action taken in
response to these disciplinary infractions will be reported to the teacher.
Only the Dean of Students can assign a School Detention.
8.5.3 School Detention
A school detention is the disciplinary measure of having to remain after
school for up to one hour under the supervision of the Dean of Students.
It is a form of restitution performed by students to instill in each of them
an awareness of the need to be accountable and responsible for their
actions. School detention is intended to serve as both a consequence for
infractions and a learning experience to improve student behavior.
Teacher or school detention has priority over any other student
commitments.
8.5.3.1 Procedures for School Detention:
1.
2.
Detention is held every morning Monday through Friday and
every afternoon Monday through Thursday.
Morning detention starts at 7:00AM.and ends at 8:00AM.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Afternoon detention starts at 2:40PM and ends at 3:40PM.
Individual detentions generally range from 30 minutes to 60
minutes depending on the infraction.
A student is required to serve a detention on the day that it is
received or the next morning. The detention list is posted each
afternoon in Room 212. It is also sent to all students via email
and is posted the next morning in homeroom. It is the
student's obligation to check the detention list to determine
the need to serve a school detention.
When a student cuts or misses a school detention, he/she will
forfeit his/her participation or attendance at any school
activity for the remainder of the school day or evening.
Students are required to be on time to detention. Lateness to
detention increases the time needed to be served by twice the
amount of lateness. Lateness beyond ten minutes without a
note from a teacher may be treated as a detention cut. Cutting
a detention on the assigned date may result in the following
disciplinary procedure: first violation results in serving the
original detention(s) plus one additional detention; further
violations will result in more severe penalties.
Students will NOT be allowed to bring educational materials to
work on while in detention; however, reading and/or writing
assignments which relate to the infraction, behavior
management, and other appropriate school issues may be
assigned by the Dean of Students. These assignments will be
completed during the detention period.
Students will not be allowed to leave the detention room
except in the case of an emergency.
Students must sit in silence during detention; uncooperative
behavior will result in dismissal from detention, and will lead
to an additional detention(s).
8.5.4 In-School Suspension
A suspended student is barred from attending class and from
participating in any school activities on or off campus. The
administration reserves the right to suspend students for consistent or
serious disregard for school rules and procedures. The length of an inschool suspension is determined by the administration. Students placed
on in-school suspension are not allowed to take part in any school
function or activity for the duration of the suspension. Students may not
return to class until a parent/guardian conference is held and the
suspended student's behavior has been stabilized.
8.5.5 Out-Of-School Suspension
A suspended student is barred from attending class and from
participating in any school activities on or off campus. The
administration reserves the right to suspend students for consistent or
serious disregard for school rules and procedures. The length of an outof-school suspension is determined by the administration. Students
placed on out-of-school suspension are not allowed on school grounds
or to take part in any school function or activity for the duration of the
suspension. Students may not return to school until a parent/guardian
conference is held and the suspended student's behavior has been
stabilized, especially if the student's behavior has been detrimental to
the school community. It is the responsibility of the student to make up
for any missed work as a result of a suspension.
8.5.6 Social Suspension
The student is banned from all athletics and extracurricular activities and
must leave school immediately at the end of the school day. This
measure is used in combination with other measures, especially when
the student's infraction is related to the personal or property rights of
others.
8.5.7 Expulsion
The administration reserves the right to expel students for any action
contrary to federal or state laws and local ordinances. Any student
whose behavior seriously disrupts or impedes the welfare and progress
of the school community, or brings discredit to the school may be
expelled. Severe or persistent violations of school rules may also begin
the expulsion process. Under ordinary circumstances, all illegal actions
will be reported to the proper authorities.
8.6 Bullying Prevention
Marist strives to provide a safe, secure, and respectful learning
environment for all students in the school buildings and on the school
grounds, on the school buses, and at school-sponsored activities.
Bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that
disrupts both a student’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate
its students in a safe environment, and has harmful social, physical,
psychological, and academic impact on the bullies, the victims, and the
bystanders.
Bullying behavior is prohibited on school property or at school-related
functions. “School property” or “at school-related functions” means all
school buildings, school grounds, school property, school technology,
school bus stops, school buses, or any other vehicles approved for
school purposes, the area of entrance or departure from school grounds,
premises, or events, and anywhere students are under the jurisdiction of
the Marist High School. School property also may mean a student’s
walking route to or from school for purposes of attending school or
school-related functions, activities, or events. While prohibiting bullying
at these locations and events, Marist High School does not assume
liability for bullying at these locations and events.
For purposes of this policy, bullying is defined as any willful, persistent,
or deliberate act or attempted act, through the use of words or actions,
which are intended to cause physical injury, emotional distress/suffering
or property damage, or which negatively impact the learning
environment.
Bullying could include acts motivated by, but not limited to, hostility
toward the victim’s real or perceived sex, race, color, religion, national
origin, ancestry, creed, sexual orientation, social socio-economic or
family status, physical attributes, disability/handicap, distinguishing
characteristic, or any other basis protected by state or federal law.
Examples of acts of bullying include physical intimidation, force or
assault, humiliation, bigoted epithets, vandalism, extortion, oral or
written threats, taunting, put downs, name calling, threatening looks or
gestures, false accusations, social isolation, retaliating against another
student for reporting bullying, or any other behavior that substantially
interferes with a student’s school performance or creates an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive school environment.
Bullying behavior can be:
1.
2.
3.
Physical (e.g. assault, hitting or punching, kicking, theft);
Verbal (e.g. threatening or intimidating language, teasing
name-calling, racist remarks);
Indirect (e.g. spreading rumors, intimidation through gestures,
social exclusion and sending insulting messages or pictures by
4.
mobile phone or using the internet, also known as cyber
bullying);
Between students and students, students and adults, or adults
and adults.
All forms of bullying in cyberspace commonly referred to as cyber
bullying are unacceptable and viewed as a violation of this policy. Cyber
bullying includes, but is not limited to, the following misuses of
technology: harassment, teasing, intimidating, threatening, or terrorizing
another person or group of people by sending or posting inappropriate
and hurtful e-mail messages, instant messages, text messages, digital
pictures or images, or website postings, including blogs or any other
messages via cyberspace.
Cyber bullying will not be tolerated. Consequences will follow in these
circumstances:
1.
2.
3.
When accessed, created, or communicated using any Marist
High School owned computer, digital technology, or system
network.
When sent or passed on through any type of non-Marist High
School owned technology or personal electronic device while
on school grounds, at any school-related or sponsored activity,
or on provided transportation.
Any type of threat intended to be carried out in a school
setting. This includes threats made outside school hours that
communicate intent to be carried out during any schoolrelated or school-sponsored program or activity, or on
provided transportation.
While Marist High School cannot assume liability for incidents that occur
at times or locations not defined above, a student or witness may file a
complaint against a student and the school will provide assistance and
intervention as deemed appropriate, which may include parent contact
and/or referral to law enforcement.
Any Marist High School employee, student, or parent/guardian who
believes that a student has been the subject of bullying, becomes aware
of, or witnesses bullying has an obligation to intervene and report. The
person making the report will be supported by involved staff members in
reporting the bullying to the proper authorities and there shall be no
retaliation against any person who makes a report under this policy.
Filing a complaint or otherwise reporting bullying in good faith will not
reflect upon the individual’s status nor will it affect his/her grades.
All reports of bullying shall be thoroughly investigated. School officials
need not wait for substantial interference with education, the creation
of a threatening environment, or the disruption of the operation of the
school to occur. Marist High School shall respect the confidentiality of
both the complainant and the accused consistent with Marist High
School’s legal obligations and with the necessity to investigate
allegations of misconduct and to take corrective and/or disciplinary
action when this conduct has occurred. In situations where the person
making the report was also in violation of this policy, filing a report does
not eliminate accountability for the person making the report.
Students who engage in bullying in violation of this policy and/or
retaliating against an individual for reporting bullying shall be subject to
school disciplinary measures consistent with Marist High School’s
policies and procedures up to and including suspension and/or expulsion
and/or referral to law enforcement officials for possible legal action as
appropriate. Students found in violation of the bullying policy are to be
referred to the Dean of Students and may be sent for educational
programming designed to prevent repetitive bullying behavior.
8.7 Electronic Device Rule (Excluding Chromebook)
These devices must be turned off upon entering the school building.
They are not permitted to be in open view and/or used anywhere in the
school building at anytime. It is suggested if the student must have the
electronic device in school it must be completely off, and be secured
safely in school lockers, or in zippered compartments in backpacks or
purses. Any electronic device used or in open view in the school building
will be confiscated and returned at the discretion of the Dean of
Students. The student must serve a one-hour detention before the
device is returned to the student. In cases of persistent violations, the
device may only be returned to the parent/guardian at the discretion of
the Dean of Students. Electronic devices may not be used in the school
building until after 2:34. Please note that the unauthorized use or
possession of electronic devices is a Category 2 Infraction.

establish a policy of dress for its students. The dress code is designed to
promote habits of neatness, good grooming and hygiene among Marist
students. In addition, the dress code establishes an academic

comply with the following code of dress and good grooming during each
school day. Students who are improperly dressed will be reported to the
Dean of Students and will receive detention on that day. Extreme or

students wear sneakers or boots of any type in school.
Regardless of weather conditions, students must leave coats, jackets,

Sexual Harassment is a form of discrimination prohibited by Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of
1972. It may be defined as any unwanted sexually oriented acts which
cause a hostile, intimidating or offensive environment.
Marist High School is committed to maintaining an academic

the same or opposite sex, and from students or employees. Marist High
School will quickly investigate all complaints, formal or informal, verbal
or written of sexual harassment and will discipline any student or
employee who is found guilty of sexual harassment. Any person who

misconduct by the adults with whom they interact. Any student who
believes he/she is a victim of sexual abuse, or any staff member who
knows or suspects a student is a victim of sexual abuse is legally bound
to report the alleged abuse to the Head of School immediately. After
employee sexual misconduct has been reported, the following
procedure shall be followed:

at least one activity per year. A monthly Activity Period is scheduled
during the school day to enable all Marist students to enjoy extracurricular activities.

and availability of funding, coaches, moderators and facilities. At the
time of this writing, some of the extra-curricular activities include:

Marist High School strictly prohibits hazing. Hazing is defined as any
conduct or method of initiation into any organization or team, whether
on public or private property, which willfully or recklessly endangers the
physical or mental health of any student or another person. Such
conduct includes whipping; beating; branding; forced calisthenics; forced
consumption of any food, liquor, beverage, drug, or any other
substance; or any brutal treatment or forced physical activity that is
likely to adversely affect the physical health or safety of any student or
other person, or that subjects such students or other persons to extreme
mental stress, including deprivation of sleep or rest or extended
isolation. This policy applies to behavior that occurs on or off school
property both during and after school hours. Faculty and staff must
immediately stop such behavior if they discover it and they must file a
complete report of the matter with the Administration. Students who
believe that hazing has occurred have a duty to report what they know
to the Head of School immediately.
9.5 Medical Forms Required
By law, no student may participate in any physical education class,
intramural or interscholastic sport unless he has submitted the school
medical form, doctor’s approval form and the school’s parental
permission form.
Any student trying out for an interscholastic sport must have a medical
form or a doctor's approval form on file before trying out. For sports
that begin practice before classes resume in the fall, this form is due at
the time of the first practice in August. For physical education classes
and all other sports, these forms must be submitted during the first
week of school.
9.6 Spectator Behavior
Spectators should show courtesy and self-control in speech and action,
especially toward game officials, cheerleaders, and members of
opposing teams. Marist subscribes to and enforces the following
guidelines set forth by the NNJIL:






during, before, or after the event.
9.7
Sportsmanship
Athletes representing Marist High School are expected to exhibit good
sportsmanship at all times, whether winning or losing, toward officials,
spectators and opponents. Athletes are reminded that, as
representatives of Marist, they are expected to conform to the
standards of behavior expected of Marist students at all times, not only
on the field or court, but also in the locker rooms and when traveling to
and from an athletic event. Poor conduct by a school athlete may be
cause for loss of eligibility or more serious disciplinary sanctions.
9.8 Transportation
The Athletic Director arranges transportation to and from athletic
events. School staff is not permitted to use their own vehicles to
transport students. Because of the liability involved, parents are urged
not to drive students other than their own son/daughter to games or
activities. Students are not permitted to drive themselves or other
students to any school event.
9.9 Field Trips
Participation in educational field trips is a privilege. Students can be
denied participation at the sole discretion of the Administration, if they
fail to meet academic or behavioral requirements. Students participating
in a field trip must have written permission from a parent or guardian.
Permission given over the telephone is not acceptable.
Students will be given the parental permission form, which must be
signed by a parent or guardian and returned to the teacher who issued
it. Parents who permit their child to participate in a field trip release the
school from liability for any accidents or injuries that might occur.
10. Health Services
If a student becomes ill during the school day, he/she must receive
permission from the teacher to report to the nurse's office. After care,
the student will be given a re-admit slip for class, or when it is necessary,
a parent will be called by the school. Students are not permitted to call
home on their own to request parental permission for medical
dismissal. Only the school nurse or an administrator can authorize a
student's emergency dismissal for illness. The parents are then called to
pick up their student(s}. No student is permitted to leave the property
until the parent arrives and signs him/her out.
10.1 Policy on Administration of Medication
Marist High School strongly discourages the administration of either
prescription or nonprescription medication in school or on field trips.
However, if it is absolutely essential that a student receive medication
while under school supervision, the following procedures apply:
1.
2.
3.
A parent/guardian should come to the school and personally
administer medication.
If this arrangement is not possible, the School Nurse or the
Head of School or his designee will administer the medication
under the following conditions:
a) The medication must be given to the School Nurse or
Head of School by the parent/guardian.
b) The medication must be in the original pharmacy-labeled
container.
c) The parent/guardian and the student's physician must
complete and sign an Authorization to Administer
Medication in School form. This form is available from the
school.
Students will be permitted to self-administer medication only
for life-threatening illnesses or conditions. The
parent/guardian must schedule a conference with the School
Nurse to discuss in detail the need of the medication. The
parent/guardian and the student's physician must complete
and sign an Authorization for Self-Administration of
Medication in School form. This form is also available from the
school.
10.2 Immunization Requirements

administration of the EPI-PEN. In the absence of the school nurse,
another school employee, designated and trained in administration
of the EPI-PEN by the school nurse pursuant to New Jersey law,
may administer the EPI-PEN.

12. FINANCES
12.1 TUITION POLICY
Marist High School requires the receipt of payment of tuition and fees
prior to the due date indicated on their billing statement. The support of
families in making their payments in a timely fashion is critical to
maintaining a fiscally sound environment for students, staff and family.
Cooperation in this matter is critical.
When families do not meet this financial obligation, the Finance Office
has been directed by the governing body and administration to take
necessary action to facilitate the payment of student accounts. When
student accounts are determined to be delinquent, the Finance Office
will recommend one or more of the following sanctions:
•
•
•
•
Withholding of Report Cards
Exclusion from Extracurricular Activities
Suspension from school
Withholding of Exam passes for Midterm and Final Exams
Tuitions suspensions that exceed ten (10) school days may lead to
financial withdrawal.
Several payment options are available to student’s families to plan their
budgets.
12.2 SMART TUITION
All tuition must be paid to SMART TUITION, either in a single payment,
due by June 5, or in ten equal payments, due on the preselected day of
each month from July to March inclusive. Except as noted below for
overdue tuition, the school does not accept tuition payments. All tuition
payments must be mailed directly to SMART TUITION.
SMART mails monthly tuition reminders to inform parents or guardians
about payments received and tuition that is due. Parents or guardians
should check the monthly statement they receive from SMART to ensure
proper crediting of payments. They must resolve any dispute concerning
the recording of tuition promptly and directly with SMART TUITION. The
school will rely on reports provided by SMART TUITION concerning
overdue tuition.
SMART will assess fees for late payment if the full amount due is not
paid by the tenth of the month. SMART also charges a fee for checks
returned unpaid because of insufficient funds.
Parents or guardians can obtain information about their tuition account
directly from SMART TUITION in any of the following ways:

by calling their call in center at 888- 868-8828, which is open
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

amount of money the student submits for each event.

device, the adapter, the protective cover, and a four year insurance
policy and warranty through Worth Avenue. This fee can be paid in full
by September 15 or assessed over three months.
12.5 Advanced Placement Exam Fees
Students scheduled for Advanced Placement (AP) courses are required
to take the corresponding Advanced Placement exams, offered by the
College Board in May. The College Board charges a fee for each test.
After the College Board sets the exam fee, this fee will be posted to the
student’s tuition bill. Under a federal program, this AP fee may be
waived for students participating in the free lunch program, or reduced
for those receiving reduced cost lunches. Students who decline to take
the AP exam by the end of February will have the AP fee removed from
their tuition.
12.6 Graduation Fee
Seniors must pay a graduation fee of $150, added to the bill in January,
which covers the cost of caps and gowns, setup for the graduation Mass
and commencement, printing of diplomas, programs, tickets, invitations,
fees to musicians, and other expenses related to graduation. Caps and
gowns and graduation tickets and invitations will not be issued until all
financial obligations have been paid. The graduation fee is required of all
seniors, even if they do not attend the graduation ceremonies.
12.7 Overdue Tuition during Exams
Exam passes are issued only to students whose tuition account has no
amount past due. Students are not admitted to any school mid-term or
final examination without an exam pass. Students who miss mid-term or
final examinations but complete their tuition payment on or before the
date of the make-up exams are permitted to take the missed exams
provided that they complete all exams no later than the date of make-up
exams.. Please note that students who do not take a final exam will not
receive credit for the course.
12.8 Items Withheld for Unpaid Tuition
In addition to final exams, the school will withhold all transcripts, report
cards, yearbooks and diplomas for students with any unpaid financial
obligations. This policy will be equally enforced against debts discharged
through bankruptcy. Students, parents and legal guardians hold Marist
High School free of any liability for any negative effect these actions may
have upon them. As a private Catholic school, Marist has a legal right to
withhold such items until an account is completely paid.
12.9 Enrollment for Less than the Full School Year
Tuition will be pro-rated for students who transfer in or out of the school
during the school year. All fees, however, are payable in full regardless of
the duration of enrollment.
12.10 Scholarships and Financial Aid
A number of students do receive assistance from Marist and from
sources outside the school. Parents are asked to send the school a copy
of any award letters from such organizations, stating the amount of this
aid so that we can make the appropriate adjustments to tuition billing.
Note that a scholarship award or a financial aid from an outside source is
an agreement between the parents and the organization providing the
scholarship. Parents remain ultimately responsible to Marist High School
for the full amount of tuition and fees.
12.11
Textbooks
Textbooks are on loan from the State of New Jersey and must be
returned at the beginning of each final exam. Students who do not
return a book or pay to replace it will not be permitted to take final
exams in any subject until all books loaned to them have been
returned or paid for. All lost or damaged textbooks must be paid for at
the full retail price of the book. Students must place their full name and
year of graduation in ink in the front of each of their textbooks.
12.12
Transcripts
The School Counseling department mails transcripts for current seniors
to the colleges of their choice for a fee of $2.00 each. Graduates who
need transcripts should request these in writing, specifying their full
name, year of graduation, date of birth, and the name and address of
the college or employer to whom the transcript is to be mailed. The fee
for each transcript is $5.00, in cash or money order. Personal checks are
not accepted for transcripts.
