Rules & Guidelines

Maret believes that students learn from mistakes. We do not have a thick rulebook or a locked-in-stone list of consequences guiding behavior; we operate in an environment of trust. However, in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of every member of the community, and to protect and preserve our campus, we have established basic rules, guidelines, and common courtesies. The violation of any of these could lead to a range of disciplinary actions. We will evaluate and judge any infraction on an individual basis.

Counseling Department
The Counseling Department is a resource for all members of the Maret community: students, faculty, staff, and parents. Counselors offer individual and group counseling for students on a short-term basis, act as consultants to faculty, and maintain an extensive network of outside referrals and resources. Students may receive these, or other, services offered by the school counselors as part of our regular academic program. All services are confidential as appropriate. Under certain circumstances, confidential information may be shared with people who have a legitimate need to know. The department is actively involved with diversity programs, substance abuse education programs, Maret’s advisor/advisee groups, the assembly program, the human development program, and student activity groups.

No Bullies Allowed
A proactive approach to bullying/harassment is taken through the social curriculum and Human Development classes. Students learn to recognize and mobilize against bullying behavior.
