obtained via the Internet is at your own risk. Saint Viator High School cannot be held responsible for the accuracy or quality of information. 7. Vandalism - Vandalism will result in cancellation of privileges. Vandalism includes, but is not limited to, the malicious attempt to harm or destroy data of other users, damage to computer hardware or software. 8. Blogs/Online Journals - Due to the focus on educational use of school computers, students are not permitted to contribute/connect to online journal websites unless it is part of a classroom assignment. 9. Misuse of School Name - In light of the off campus conduct policy (see below), students may not misuse the good name of Saint Viator in either its educational or co-curricular programs. Off-Campus Conduct In off-campus situations that do not have any connection to Saint Viator’s educational and cocurricular programs, the school expects its parent(s)/guardian(s) to exercise their role as the primary educators and disciplinarians of their children. The school may exercise jurisdiction for student misconduct that may occur. In determining whether a specific non-school, off-campus activity violates the spirit of the statement above and requires the intervention and response of the school, the Administration will consider each of the following criteria: • the seriousness of the violation according to the school’s philosophy, school policy, or federal, state or local ordinance; • whether or not the incident occurred at or in relation to a school-sponsored event; • direct connection to or public mention of the “Saint Viator” name in reference to the incident; • the proximity of the location of the occurrence to the school’s campus; • conduct or consequences threatening the safety and/or harmony of members of the school community; • conduct or consequences obstructive to the good order and educational and moral climate of the school; • police charges, judicial appearances, convictions, and/or any other civil or criminal actions that may take place. In those off-campus situations where one or more of the seven criteria listed above apply, the Administration may deem it necessary to act for the good of the school community. The offending student will be subject to any and all of the “Disciplinary Measures” identified above. Students are reminded that their conduct off-campus also includes the Internet. Online journals/blogs (such as, but are not limited to: myspace.com, xanga.com or facebook.com) should not be used to demean, harass, or threaten any member of the Saint Viator community or misuse the good name of Saint Viator. Disciplinary consequences may result as off-campus conduct comes into and affects members of the Saint Viator learning community. (For on-campus conduct via the Internet see pages 23-24 “Computer Internet Policy.”) Violations of federal, state and local ordinances and/or the fundamental philosophy of Saint Viator High School not specifically mentioned herein are also cause for disciplinary action by the school. Disciplinary Referral Form A disciplinary referral form is a notification to the parent(s)/guardian(s) regarding a student's disregard of classroom policy or school policy. The form must be signed by a parent/guardian and returned to the Deans’ Office before 8 a.m. the next school day. The Dean will notify the 24
parent(s)/guardian(s) by letter when a student receives a fifth Level I referral and/or a third Level II referral in a given semester. Upon the tenth Level I and/or sixth Level II referral in a given semester, the student and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) may be required to meet with the Principal and Dean of Students. The student will also be subject to disciplinary probation at this time. At any time when deemed necessary by the Principal and Dean of Students, continued disrespect of school policies may result in disciplinary probation, suspension or expulsion of the student. Detention Detention is held after school each day beginning promptly at 3:05 p.m. and ending at 4:05 p.m. Students may be detained until 4:30 p.m. for misconduct during detention. The student is expected to begin serving detention time on the day following his/her receipt of the detention slip. It is the student's responsibility to arrange transportation in order to serve detention. No student is excused from serving detention without the express, prior approval of a Dean of Students. Work, personal obligations, transportation, team practices and other co-curricular meetings or rehearsals are not legitimate reasons for missing a detention and may result in further disciplinary action. A student who is excused by a Dean of Students for a Physician or Dentist appointment must present to the Dean on the next school day a note from the doctor’s office documenting the date and time of the appointment. A student is expected to arrive on time for detention and sit quietly. No study or other materials are allowed at the student’s desk. Students must arrive and remain in dress code during detention. Sleeping is not permitted. The student may be required to do service work for the school. Each student must complete all detention time accumulated prior to the end of each semester. Report cards and registration materials will be withheld from any student who fails to serve his/her detention time from the previous semester. In the case of an eighth-semester senior, his/her diploma will be withheld until all detention time is served. Saturday Detention A Saturday detention may be assigned for a serious violation of the discipline code. Only the Dean of Students or a member of the Administration may assign a student to a Saturday detention. Saturday detention is held from 8-11 a.m. and a student must be in Saint Viator Spirit Wear. Students assigned to a Saturday detention could assist with projects inside or outside of the school. Students who are truant/unexcused from a Saturday detention must serve the next scheduled Saturday and will be assigned an additional Saturday detention. If a student is truant a second time they will be referred to the Administration for possible suspension from school. Discipline Agreements Students, with serious or numerous disciplinary referrals, and their parent(s)/guardian(s) may be required to sign a discipline agreement with Saint Viator High School as a condition of continued enrollment. Failure on the part of the student to fulfill the terms of this agreement may result either in suspension or immediate expulsion, depending on the gravity of the situation. The President will make the final decision in these cases. 25
