e verified by either a parent note or telephone call. Any tardy to
school not excused by said form/note on Block late-start days must
be verified by a parent note or call. Excused tardies are given only
when the student presents a return to school form/note from a
doctor or dentist, court, or in the case of an accident, from the
police. Students are allowed three tardies during each semester
without consequence. (see below) All written documentation must
be turned to the Office of Student Services within7 schools days of
the students' tardy. A demerit will be issued for every tardy after
three (each Semester) not excused by said form/note. A parent call
is not considered an excused tardy. Only professional
documentation will excuse the tardy.
Truancy
Truancy is considered a major infraction. A student is
considered truant if she/he is not in attendance at school and has
no officially approved excuse or if the student leaves the campus
for whatever reason, for however long a time, without permission.
Any student found to be truant will receive a Saturday Detention
and will receive a zero for any work that was to be turned in,
completed or assigned on the day on which the truancy took place.
Using a forged or falsified communication (i.e. telephone call,
note, etc.) in relation to truancy will result in the issuance of an
additional Saturday Detention.
Any student found truant twice while at CJ will be asked to
withdraw or may be expelled.
SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
Members of the Chaminade Julienne community are expected
to show respect for and courtesy to all members and conduct
themselves in an orderly and appropriate manner in and out of the
school setting. Additionally, students should take positive actions
to ensure that others maintain similar conduct. CJ students are
expected to be a positive part of the school atmosphere. Students
and parents are notified as to the nature of specific offenses and
dates of detentions. Ultimately, it is the students and parents’
responsibility to maintain all discipline correspondence.
Right to Appeal
