Philosophy of Discipline Welcome to Oak Grove High School. We want you to have a rewarding learning experience for your child. In order to have a good experience and be successful on our campus, it starts with understanding our discipline codes regarding student conduct. One of the important responsibilities for a student on campus is to have good behavior on campus. As you know, parents are the child’s first teachers and will remain the most important teachers during the course of the child’s life. However, it must be recognized from the onset that the school and parents should work together in harmony to prepare a child for school to work in our society. Oak Grove High School’s administration and staff are committed to the goals of being positive, effective, and maintaining an orderly disposition on campus. As such, we reserve the right to amend behavior and discipline policies as deemed necessary. ESUHSD Parent Handbook The ESUHSD Parent Handbook includes the Uniform Disciplinary Chart, Board Policies, and references to California Education Code and California Penal Codes related to students. The Uniform Disciplinary Chart is a compilation of rules and infractions most often committed by students. Continued violations of the same rule or regulation will result in an involuntary transfer to another East Side Union High School District school. Every attempt will be made to follow the dictates of the chart displayed. However, the Administration does reserve the right to objectively determine punishment based on the seriousness of a particular infraction and the previous discipline record of the student who commits the offense. No Tolerance Policy All forms of hazing, bullying, harassing or fighting or conspiracies to engage in fighting are strictly prohibited including any “gang” activity such as flashing signs or intimidation postures or large group stand offs. Acts specifically included in the above are: • Fighting on any school grounds, in a school vehicle or at any school sponsored activity; • Fights initiated at school but taking place elsewhere; • Fights which affect any pupil in the East Side Union High School District; • Causing, attempting to cause or threatening to cause physical injury to another person; • Any student who transmits information between students or groups that causes or tends to cause a fight is guilty of conspiring to fight. Possession of tobacco, paraphernalia, drugs or drug paraphernalia, intent to sell or distribute is also prohibited. Violators shall be subject to suspension or expulsion and possible citation when applicable by San Jose Police Department for violation of Penal Code. Students who are reasonably suspected to be under the influence of Alcohol or any drug before school, during school, after school and during any school activity such as a school dance will be subject to a breathalyzer by staff and SJPD and receive a citation and/or be arrested by SJPD. Students will also be disciplined by School Administration accordingly. Violators are subject to suspension, arrest, transfer to another school in the district, and/or expulsion. Bullying is aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative actions. Bullying involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time and an imbalance of power or strength. Education Code 48900 permits a student to be suspended from school or recommended for expulsion for engaging in acts of bullying, including bullying committed by means of electronic acts. Any student involved in pranks, where damage to or theft of school or private property occurs, shall be suspended from school and subject to expulsion or transfer, referral to appropriate law enforcement agency and loss of all school privileges and activities (i.e. senior picnic, senior ball, graduation, athletics). Visitors and Guests to Campus Unauthorized visitors or guests are not allowed on campus before, during or after school. Visitors, upon entering the school grounds, shall register in the administration office and identify themselves and the nature of their business in order to receive a guest badge. Unathorized individuals are subject to arrest for trespassing. Parents are encouraged to visit school and classes; however, no person shall be permitted access to pupils in a classroom without prior approval of the principal. School Policies & Discipline The OGHS Handbook and other school policies are available at http:// oghs.schoolloop.com The ESUHSD Parent Handbook is available at http://www.esuhsd.org Education Code 48900 define grounds for suspension or expulsion. Education Code 48908: All pupils shall comply with the regulations, pursue the required course of study, and submit to the authority of the teachers of the schools. Oak Grove places a heavy emphasis upon the safety of its students and staff. We will do everything within our authority to ensure a safe and orderly environment for all members of our educational community. All students are reminded that if they are having any difficulties with other students on campus, they are to report the problem to the office so the situation may be remedied before it comes to a physical confrontation. ESUHSD Board Policy: notice of intent to visit a classroom must be given in writing to the principal (and to the teachers) at least 24 hours before the time of the visit. 5
