Fighting or unwanted physical contact of any kind and for any reason at Judge Memorial or by a Judge Memorial student anywhere in the community is a serious violation of the Code of Conduct. Any pushing, shoving, wrestling, slapping, punching, or the like, even in jest, is dangerous and disrespectful and may escalate into a fight. Students engaging in fights or other unwanted physical contact will be sent immediately to the Deans' Office. Students being harassed or provoked should seek assistance from a counselor, dean, or teacher and should never attempt to use violence or threats to stop the harassment. Students who instigate or encourage fighting or fail to get adult help if a fight occurs are also liable for disciplinary consequences.
