Association of American Schools in Brazil 

Official AASB Code of Conduct 
Revision: March 2023

​
AASB EXPECTATIONS
All AASB schools have mission statements that speak of high academic expectations and high expectations for character development and community building.  We believe extra-curricular trips demand an increased layer of behavioral expectations and that the elements of risk are heightened for teachers, administrators, parents, students and for the school due to the elevated risk inherent in taking numbers of students off campus.  

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion StatementThe Association of American Schools in Brazil (AASB) is committed to diversity, inclusion, and gender equity amongst its members, event participants, volunteers, and community.


AASB welcomes all individuals to participate in our event offerings. Embracing our differences while removing barriers to promote diversity, equity and foster inclusion, is integral to serving the educational athletics and activities community. As leaders in our community, we continue to listen, learn and collaborate on how educational athletics and activities can be inclusive and accessible for all. We have zero tolerance for any behaviors which discriminate against anyone - athletes, coaches, referees, staff, guests - through language or interactions that target their identity or culture in any way. Our athletics and activities programs are created to be safe and inclusive spaces for all student-athletes and participants. 

Any violations of this statement will result in immediate action through the process of our Disciplinary Committee which is explained in our AASB Athletics & Activities Constitution.
Given the above, we believe a set of clear behavioral expectations and aligned consequences are necessary to help our schools support positive behavior and address infractions and violations consistently.
Level I - Minor Infractions include the following but are not limited to:
  1. Violation of Curfew
  2. Poor Sportsmanship

Level II - Major Infractions include the following but are not limited to:
  1. Leaving any AASB venue without permission and/or proper supervision
  2. Use or possession of drug/alcohol/tobacco/vaporiser/weapons
  3. Physical, sexual, or verbal abuse including violation of the AASB DEI statement
  4. Emotional abuse such as hazing and bullying.


If there are consequences that need to be administered on the Major Infraction level, please refer to the AASB Constitution for the process of the Disciplinary Committee being formed.
Consequences include the following but are not limited to:
  1. The student (or those involved) will be declared ineligible for participation in the next scheduled activity. (Level I)
  2. The student (or those involved) will be declared ineligible for further participation in the event.  This would include games, dances, and awards ceremonies. (Level I & II) 
  3. A student (or those involved) may be sent home which will be at the parent's expense. (Level II)
  4. The student (or those involved) will be excluded from the next event in which they would be eligible to participate/represent their school. (Level II)
  5. The student (or those involved) may be excluded from all future events for a period of one year from the date of the infraction, including the same tournament/event the following year. (Level II)
AS A STUDENT / PARTICIPANT AT AN AASB EVENT I SHALL:
  1. Show respect for other students, teammates, opponents, officials, and coaches.
  2. Respect the integrity and judgment of event officials or organizers.
  3. Exhibit fair play, sportsmanship and proper conduct on and off the playing field or competition area.
  4. Refrain from the use of profanity, vulgarity, other offensive language, and gestures.
  5. Refrain from any violent or aggressive behavior that jeopardizes the safety and/or wellbeing of others.
  6. Adhere to the established rules and standards of the game or event that is to be played.
  7. Respect all property and use it safely and appropriately.
  8. Not use alcohol, tobacco, vaporizer and drugs.
  9. Follow the rules and regulations of the host school or organization.
  10. Respect established curfews.
  11. Not leave the premises of the sponsored event without permission from their school’s representative. 
  12. Not enter sleeping quarters other than their own.
AS A PARENT / SPECTATOR AT AN AASB EVENT I SHALL:
  1. Encourage students to compete within the rules, respect chaperones/coaches and officials’ decisions.
  2. Encourage all students to respect the efforts of other participants and teams.
  3. Remember that children learn best by example, applaud good plays/performances by both my team and their opponents.
  4. Give positive comments that motivate and encourage continued effort, focus on the team/individual efforts and performance – not the score.
  5. Thank the coaches/chaperones, officials and other volunteers who give their time to conduct the event for my child.
  6. Respect the rights, dignity, and worth of all people involved in the sport or activity, regardless of their gender, ability, or cultural background.
  7. Not criticize or ridicule any student’s performance.
  8. Refrain from using bad language.
  9. Not harass or disrespect students, coaches/chaperones, officials or other spectators.
  10. Not argue with an official or administrator. If I disagree with a decision or have a query, I will inform the coach/chaperone or manager after the competition.
  11. Display sportsmanship and act with integrity.
Since 1960, PACA has been a Christian school serving São Paulo’s local and international community with an American and Brazilian curriculum. Our education integrates Biblical truth into all areas of learning, shaping students’ hearts and minds. Upon graduation, students earn both American and Brazilian diplomas, opening doors to top universities in the USA, Brazil, and around the world.
