STUDENT DISCIPLINE AND BEHAVIOR: School follows guidelines for effective discipline using the CPS Student Code of Conduct that is given to each student at Kennedy. Students at Kennedy are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects self- control and respect for others. Remember the behavior should be that of a serious student who is a credit to themselves, your family and Kennedy HS. STUDENT DRESS STANDARD: The Local School Council has approved that Kennedy High School shall establish a new Dress Standard for all students for the following school year 2018-2019. STUDENT ID CARDS: • All students must wear their school-issued permanent ID on a lanyard/string around their neck during the school day. • A temporary ID good for ONLY one day must be purchased for $2.00 and worn on the front of their shirt on the chest area when students do not have their permanent ID. New permanent IDs can be purchased for $5.00, if students lose, destroy, or deface their ID. • Students are prohibited from defacing or decorating their ID with drawings and/or stickers. CLOTHING FIT AND APPEARANCE: Clothing worn by all students must be appropriate. No gang affiliated images or colors will be tolerated, as well as images or clothing that may mock, offend, or degrade any individual. Clothing must fit properly. Skirts and shorts must be no shorter than fingertip length; spaghetti straps, sheer tops, plunging necklines, crop-tops, tube tops are not permitted. All sports jerseys must be worn with an undershirt, likewise an undershirt by itself shall be deemed as inappropriate. Pants in particular should show no undergarments (i.e. “sag” or be overly-sheer). All pants must be at least the thickness of workout attire: such as Adidas/Nike/Gaiam leggings, yoga pants, tight-fitting soccer pants, etc, identifiable by patterns or thick stitching associated with such clothing. If pants are sheer, such as thin leggings and tights, and undergarments can be seen, they must be accompanied with a skirt, dress, long shirt, cardigan or tunic. Dress as if you have a job, and expect to run into your boss on your day of. (Revised and Approved by LSC Effective May 2, 2016) Clothing Graphics, Wording and Color Combinations Must Be Appropriate For School: At no time may students wear clothing with depictions of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, obscene images, gestures and/or demeaning language toward any group of people.

DISCLAIMER: • Administration reserves the right to make a judgment call regarding appropriateness of student attire for the school. • John F. Kennedy High School is not responsible for providing students with appropriate attire. • The Chicago Board of Education grants schools the ability to issue discipline to students when they wear clothing or accessories that display affiliation with gangs or other criminally motivated organizations OR students who dress in a manner that causes serious disruption to the orderly educational process (p 12, CPS Student Code of Conduct). • The purpose of the dress restrictions above are to ensure that students do not represent gangs/criminally motivated organizations AND/OR seriously disrupt the orderly educational process with the decisions they make regarding their attire.

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (Cellular Phones, Laptops, I-Pads, etc.): Students are not allowed to use radios, I-Pods, mini—stereos, laser pointers, electronic games, cell phones or any other electronic equipment or related materials in school. If these items are seen or used during the school day, they will be confiscated. The confiscated materials will be returned to the student’s parent or legal guardian on Friday’s ONLY between the hours of 3:00pm and 5:00pm. If the student’s parent or guardian is unable to retrieve the item, that Friday, it will be returned the following week to only parent or guardian. If the electronic equipment is not retrieved it will be returned to the student at the end of the semester. Failure to surrender any item when directed by a Kennedy staff member could result in an automatic out of school suspension or detention, depending on the situation and further investigation. 5 LATEX AND PEANUT FREE SCHOOL: We are considered a latex-free and peanut school due to allergies students, faculty, and staff may have in our building.

  • An Examination and Theorisation of Consumer-Brand Relationship and Its Link to Customer-Based Brand Equity By
    An Examination and Theorisation of Consumer-Brand Relationship and its Link to Customer-Based Brand Equity by Naser Pourazad Thesis Submitted to Flinders University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Business, Government and Law 5th of October, 2018 1 I certify that this thesis does not incorporate without acknowledgment any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and that to the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. Naser Pourazad 2 Abstract Over the past decades, scholars have shown great interest in understanding the way consumers develop personal connections with brands. In fact, consumer-brand relationship has been a topical focus of published works in branding and consumer research. In addition, managers of many globally known brands have incorporated strategies to nurture strong bonds with their consumers. However, it is still not clear how brand relationships unfold. In particular, there is a need for research to understand how to strike a balance between the emotional and cognitive factors, which drive consumer-brand relationships. Therefore, the primary goal of this thesis is to improve understanding of consumer-brand relationships, with a particular focus on the role of emotions as a key contributing facet, in addition to the cognitive elements as crucial drivers. In doing so, the thesis draws upon the literature on consumer-brand relationships and relational concepts as well as the seminal studies on the customer-based brand equity (CBBE) to conceptualise and test relevant frameworks.

  • Puma: a Sponsorship Case Study
    Puma: A Sponsorship Case Study Tomás Vasconcelos Student Number: 152112180 Supervisors: Professor Paulo Gonçalves Marcos Professor João Borges de Assunção Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of MSc in Business Administration, at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, September 2014. 1 Abstract This case study provides an overview of the sporting goods retail industry and the main players in the market and presents a decision-making moment from the Head of Sports Marketing Teamsport in PUMA regarding the company’s strategy for the year 2013, revolving around the pursuing one of the world’s leading football teams in order to get a sponsorship deal, or on the other hand it is better for the brand to make smaller deals with more teams with a smaller dimension. In the football, or soccer, environment, it becomes important for brands to use, in the way of sponsorship, teams and athletes as reference groups for their final consumers. In the sporting goods retail industry, brands try to use opinion leaders and their media visibility to increase the merchandising sales, create a relationship with the consumers and leverage their position against the rivals, which is precisely what this case study is about. In the teaching notes there are some frameworks that may apply for this subject, as well as a proposed case resolution. Keywords: sponsorship marketing, football club sponsorship, Puma, reference group, global vs local brand Resumo Este caso de estudo mostra uma visão geral da indústria de produção de artigos desportivos e das maiores entidades no sector e apresenta um momento de tomada de decisão do Director de Marketing para os desportos de equipa na PUMA, sobre a estratégia empresarial para o ano 2013, que anda à volta da opção de perseguir uma das grandes equipas de futebol mundial para conseguir um contrato de patrocínio, ou por outro lado será melhor para a marca fazer mais contratos, com valores mais baixos e a mais equipas.
