CRESCENTA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL
STANDARDS OF STUDENT CONDUCT
(Revised July 2009)
Students enrolling at Crescenta Valley High School may rightfully expect a school climate which gives them the opportunity to learn. To achieve this goal, appropriate conditions must be maintained in the classrooms and on the campus. Students are expected to exercise self-discipline and display acceptable forms of behavior. An atmosphere of reasonable, firm, and positive discipline can help develop acceptable behavior, concern for others, and mutual respect. In order to ensure the safety of students on our campus, students chosen at random will be wanded with a metal detector. On occasion, trained drug dogs may check locker areas and student parking for drugs.
Student conduct at C.V.H.S. is expected to conform to district and school rules and regulations. Violations of rules and regulations will result in administrative action including, but not limited to the following:
1. Counseling/warning the student
2. Teacher Detention/Administrative Detention (snack, lunch, before or after school)
3. Campus Clean-up
4. Parent-student conference
5. Class Suspension
6. In-school suspension
7. Saturday morning Alternative to Suspension (ATS) - cleaning up the campus (7:55 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.)
8. Tobacco Use Prevention Education Program (smoking cessation class)
9. Suspension from school
10. Class drop with failing grade
11. Transfer to another school
12. Expulsion from the school district
I. VIOLATIONS AGAINST SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
A. Willful Disobedience and Defiance
A student who refuses to follow the directions of school staff acting in the performance of their duties may receive detention, "alternative to suspension" (ATS), or school suspension.
B. Office Referrals
When a student is sent to the office for violating school rules or regulations, the teacher will fill out an "Office Referral Form" and send the student with the referral form to an administrator. A copy of the "Office Referral Form" with action taken by the administrator is mailed to the student's home.
1. The first time a student is referred to the office, the student may be counseled and kept in the office until the end of the class period (unless the teacher requests that the student return to class), assigned to A.T.S. or suspended from school depending on the nature of the offense.
2. Subsequent referrals may result in more severe discipline including ATS or suspension from school. The parent or guardian may be requested to appear at school for a conference.
3. If problems continue, the student may be dropped from the class with an "F" grade.
C. Tardy Regulations
Each student is expected to be in his/her seat ready to learn before the tardy bell rings.
1. The first three tardies will be dealt with by the classroom teacher who may assign his/her own detention and notify the student when to report. Teachers may also contact parents/guardians.
2. At the 4th tardy students may be referred to an administrator.
3. Habitual tardies may result in disciplinary actions
D. Truancy Regulations
Students are expected to attend each class every school day unless excused by a parent or guardian. Parents excusing students from school must call 818-248-8114 within 3 days of the student's absence.
1. Truancy is defined as:
a. The failure of the student to attend class without a valid excuse.
b. A student leaving class without the teacher's permission or misusing a pass.
c. A student leaving the campus without going through the attendance or the health office.
d. Tardy for more than 30 minutes without a valid excuse.
2. Students who are truant may be assigned to ATS.
3. Students who are habitually truant from school (ten or more times to a class) may be dropped from the class with an "F" grade.
4. Parents are encouraged to phone the attendance office personnel to check on student attendance records.
E. Misrepresentation
If a student misrepresents tardies and/or absences, a parent or guardian will be notified, and the student will be assigned ATS or suspended from school.
F. Failure to report to detention or A.T.S.
1. If a student misses a teacher's detention without permission, the teacher will fill out an Office Referral and send the student to an administrator. The student will receive an ATS assignment.
2. If a student is tardy to or fails to report to ATS for any reason other than verified illness, he/she will be suspended from school.
G. Suspension Regulations
1. During the entire period of a suspension from school, a student is not permitted on or near the school campus nor to attend any school-sponsored event or activity. (If the period of suspension includes a Friday, the student is not eligible to attend school-sponsored event or activity until the student has been readmitted to school.)
2. Students returning to school from suspension must meet with an administrator.
3. Teachers are not required to allow suspended student to make-up work missed during the period of suspension.
H. I.D. Cards
Each student will be issued an I.D. card free of charge at the beginning of the school year and must carry this card during the school day and at school sponsored activities. Students who enroll at other times during the school year or who have lost their I.D. cards must report to the Health Office to obtain this I.D. card. There is a minimum charge for a duplicate card. Students must have I.D. cards for class schedules, textbooks, library books and tickets for school-sponsored activities. Students without an I.D card may be assigned ATS.
I. Off-Campus Regulations
1. Students are not permitted to leave campus at any time without prior approval (off campus includes being on the sidewalks around the perimeter of the school and beyond).
2. The campus is closed at snack and students may not leave without administrative approval. Students are not allowed to leave campus between classes without permission.
3. If students need to leave campus during school hours due to illness, they must obtain a Permit to Leave Campus from the Health Office before leaving.
4. If students need to leave campus during school hours, parents must call the attendance office in advance and students must obtain a Permit to Leave Campus before leaving. If a student fails to follow the permit procedure, that student is considered truant and the absence cannot be cleared afterward. It is important that the school knows when a student leaves campus.
5. Students who violate these regulations will be assigned A.T.S. or suspended.

If a student is assigned the ATS plan, he/she must report to school on Saturday to work with a campus/community beautification crew from 7:55 to 10:00 a.m. A student who has committed a severe violation such as fighting, possession or use of drugs, physically threatening a teacher or staff member, or another student, may not be assigned the Alternative-to-Suspension plan.
VI. INVOLUNTARY TRANSFER TO CONTINUATION SCHOOL

A transfer request based on truancy or irregular attendance shall show evidence that the school has exhausted all resources in attempting to solve the problem.
