Glen View High School At a Glance Profile GVHS Student Placement Criteria/Process Glen View High School (GVHS) is the only alternative school in the BUSD. Students are referred from Beaumont High School through an Alternative Placement Committee (APC). Our school is different from the comprehensive high school in that GVHS has an increased emphasis placed on credit recovery. APC meetings are held with parents and students quarterly. Most students are selected based on current credit level and ability to recover credits towards graduation. Calendar/Schedule The school follows the traditional school year calendar from August to June. GVHS has a one session 6 period day and schedules are built around student needs for credit recovery. Students who participate in afternoon electives and/or who are in need of remediation, compulsory study hall, attendance recovery, or intensive credit recovery stay beyond the 12:40 day which has a built in closed campus lunch. Students are able to leave at lunch on Fridays and district scheduled secondary minimum days. Advisory periods are on Fridays designed for academic progress monitoring and college and career preparation (Examples: FAFSA, college applications, Career Guest Speakers, College Presentations, Soft Skill Acquisition/Practice). Afternoon Program 5th Period Intervention Class The afternoon program is elective for most students, except: ● ●
Students who are tardy in the AM must stay for a 5th period intervention class to make up the work they missed in the morning. Students who are off task during their scheduled classroom instructional time make up the work they missed during the 5th period compulsory study hall (study hall is requested by the teacher for students off task).
Afternoon Program (Remediation/Electives) Students who choose to stay for afternoon electives can take classes in Digital Media (a 4 course CTE pathway articulated with our local community college), Drama, Work Experience, ELA Intervention and our Sports program (Basketball and Softball). Graduation Requirements/Concurrent Enrollment Classes are at an average 20 to 1 student to teacher ratio. The district requires that students complete a minimum of 180 credits for graduation from Glen View High School. Students who are 18 years old and have met specific course criteria are eligible to receive a diploma from the adult school which only requires 200 Credits. Students may earn additional credits by concurrently attending adult school, concurrent enrollment in Beaumont High ROP programs, or through Work Experience. Quarter System/Variable Credits Our academic calendar has been modified into a quarter system, where traditional 18 week semester courses are accelerated to be completed in a 9 week quarter course. This allows students to complete 120 credits in a year, doubling the credits normally attempted in a traditional high school. In addition to the accelerated pace, partial credits are offered at the end of “Performance Session(s).” Students earn 1 credit per class roughly every 2 weeks (5 times per quarter). This allows students who failed to complete work for a 2 week session to not lose heart for the whole course, but to try again to get the credit for the following “Performance Session.” Edgenuity Students remediate failed credits through Edgenuity, the online system we use for credit recovery. The amount of credits needed to graduate reduced from 220 to 180 in the 2016-2017 school year. The reduction was made in the amount of elective credits necessary for graduation - from 60 to 20. This was done to help our students move towards graduation at a faster pace. All students are now enrolled in 4 core academic or credit recovery classes as well as a Friday Advisory class where students work with their home teacher on short term and long term goals. Students will use this time to figure out their values, interests, and match those with a career trajectory and a plan to reach their career goals. This core program allows all of our students to gain a minimum of 80 credits during the 4 hours of morning instruction per year. Pearson My Foundations Lab, Accuplacer Currently our Math program is taught utilizing the Pearson, My Foundations Lab Accuplacer curriculum, while our English 11 and 12 classes use this curriculum for supplemental support. All students are tested with a diagnostic placement test upon entering into the Glen View High School 7/2017

GVHS program. This diagnostic tool assesses a student’s incoming skill base in math, reading comprehension, lexile level, and writing skills. From this information, students are placed in the proper math class specific to teaching the student where they are at academically and accelerating their base knowledge upon skill mastery of concepts. Students receive supplemental supports from the Pearson curriculum to support closing student learning gaps in ELA. With the Pearson curriculum and supplemental supports, students are working towards high school credit requirements while working on mastery of skills and concepts that they will need to test into college level English and Math courses when taking the college entry Accuplacer test. Positive Behavior Reinforcements Our school has three rules: Be respectful, Be responsible, and Be safe. We are a school that cares about our students both academically and socially. We reinforce positive behaviors by teaching students to not only be scholarly, but also to be good citizens of our universe, our nation, our state, and our city. We take pride in the approach that focuses on teaching life skills and reinforcing these behaviors with positive reinforcement versus negative reinforcement. We hold students accountable and provide a structure for students with positive outcomes always in mind. Attendance Students need to be on time to school everyday to utilize Glen View High School’s program to its full potential. Students with frequent absences will face the district SART and SARB process.

Our Counseling Department Our counselor assists students in making decisions in accordance with each individual’s abilities, interests, and career goals. Our counselor also provides students opportunities to discuss problem situations relating to choice of college or vocational education and for improving family, peer or teacher relationships. Students are encouraged to utilize the counseling services. Our counselor is on duty before and after school and by appointment. Students must obtain teacher’s permission prior to coming to the office during class time. If our counselor is not available, an appointment may be scheduled with the counselor either before or after school. We also have two Mental Health counselors who will be available twice a week on a referral basis, as well as a family counselor who supports students with individualized education plans.
Curriculum/Guidance Add/Drop Policy Variable Credit Policy 1. Students can change elective courses during the first two weeks of school only. If a student wants to change an elective class after the first week of school, he/she need to meet with the counselor and make those arrangements by the end of the second week of school. Students can enroll in a new elective course at the beginning of each quarter. Any schedule changes for any course must be approved by the counselor. Elective courses will be selected by current students prior to summer vacation. 2. Students are issued variable credits based upon completion of coursework and grade. Variable credits are earned both in online Edgenuity coursework and direct instruction classes. Variable credits can also be awarded to students with passing grades in courses upon entering and exiting GVHS.

HIGH SCHOOL EXIT EXAM The California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) has been temporarily suspended by the California Department of Education. At this time, school districts are awaiting more information from the state. Once more information is given, it will be given to all GVHS parents and students. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time of transition.
PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST
Glen View High School 7/2017
7
Beginning with the class of 2011 all students must pass the Physical Fitness Test or they will be enrolled in PE every year in high school. All high school students must complete 2 years of physical education. During their Freshman year, they are given a physical fitness test and if they don’t pass 5 out of the 6 categories, they must continue to test every year thereafter and remain in a physical education class until they pass the class. California Education Code allows the district to waive the requirement for a student to remain in a Physical fitness class. The district is currently under that waiver.
CHSPE Any student wishing to leave high school, but not take the GED, may take the California High School Proficiency Exam. For further information, please see the Counseling Department.

5TH YEAR SENIORS Fifth year seniors must maintain a 90% attendance rate and earn a minimum of 20 credits per quarter to remain in good standing at GVHS. Students must also remain good citizens of our school with minimal, if any, behavioral issues and no suspensions. Students that are fifth year seniors must sign an initial fifth year contract with the counselor or administrator upon attending GVHS. Students that violate this contract will be put on probationary status and sign probationary contract #2. Students that violate probationary contract #2 will no longer be in good standing with GVHS and shall be given the opportunity to attend Beaumont High School’s Adult Education program.
18 YEAR OLD STUDENTS Students that are 18 must adhere to the school hours of GVHS and must attend according to those school hours. Students must attend the regular school day and if they chose not to, will be counseled on other school options as GVHS maintains high levels of attendance expectations for all students. Students who are leaving early for personal reasons and fall below 90% attendance will be asked to sign a behavior contract. Students that violate this contract will then be put on a probationary behavior contract #2. Students that again violate probationary contract #2 will be counseled on alternative placement to complete their education. GVHS supports all students, but understands that if personal demands are getting in the way of their attendance/academics at GVHS then alternative learning environments are appropriate.
JUNIORS AND SENIORS Students that are juniors and seniors at GVHS are expected to achieve: ● 20 credits a quarter (minimal) and may be offered more than 30 credits a quarter (if they are a student in good standing). ● Complete at least 3.3% each day in each Edgenuity class they are assigned and progress monitor this goal ● Complete the FAFSA if they are graduating as a Junior (not mandatory, but highly recommended); ● Take all diagnostic exams/benchmarks/state assessments with 100% effort; and take the Accuplacer diagnostic exams in math and ELA upon entry into GVHS Glen View High School 7/2017

HOMEWORK POLICY Students are encouraged to work on Edgenuity classes at home for credit recovery. Edgenuity is typically the only form of homework that students will be assigned from GVHS.
EDUCATIONAL MONITORING TEAMS Educational Monitoring Teams (EMTs) are available throughout the year to assist students, parents, and staff with creative plans to improve their child’s educational experience. If your child is having any kind of a problem, talk to a counselor or teacher and ask about an EMT meeting. EMTs are not discipline meetings.
REPORT CARDS Report cards are issued four times a year shortly following the end of each nine-week period. The report card should be given to your parents for examination. Final report cards will be mailed home.
TEXTBOOKS/MATERIALS Glen View High School provides students with all necessary textbooks/Chromebooks free of charge. However, when books or materials are damaged or lost, the student/parent is responsible for the cost incurred. All students are expected to come to school prepared with school supplies.
CHROMEBOOKS Each student in Beaumont Unified School District is issued a chromebook, case and power adapter for his/her exclusive use throughout the year. The initiative aims at improving student achievement, engagement and the development of 21st century technology skills. The chromebook is a small, lightweight, personal device running Chrome OS. The device is designed to be used while connected to the internet and use web based applications. Each student is also provided a district managed Google account that must be used to access the chromebook. The replacement cost of a chromebook is $199.00. Students who are returning to school from last year have already received and have been using their chromebooks over the summer break. New students will receive their assigned chromebooks with their textbooks during school site registration. The integration of this technology will prove very beneficial to students and afford them the opportunity to be exposed to a learning environment that is conducive to creativity, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and exposure to a wide array of educational resources during their time in school and well beyond the traditional school day. The principal does have access to Go Guardian, a technology tracking tool that monitors student use of technology and student use of technology is monitored. Students will be counseled on the appropriate use of technology and parents notified if students are using the instructional tool as a resource for entertainment versus education. If the student continues to use the Chromebook inappropriately, progressive steps will be taken to mitigate inappropriate use. Students are also provided with instructional support on digital citizenship throughout the course of the school year. As always, we thank you in advance for your understanding and support of this initiative as we strive to positively transform the learning environment for all of our students. As a reminder, here are the District required expectations related to the handling and use of District chromebooks ●
● ● ●
Chromebook must remain in District provided cases - this is to assure that minimum protection is maintained to avoid damage to the device. Use of the device without provided case can result in discipline and possible fees for replacement or damage repaired. If you have lost the provided case, please go to your school site and report the loss and a replacement one will be provided. There is a fee for lost items. District chromebooks are to be maintained and repaired by the District Technology Department. If damage is due to negligence, apparent misuse or accident, fees may be charged to the student for the repair/replacement of the equipment. A list of fees and FAQs are available for review on the district homepage under the “Parent & Students” tab and clicking on the link named “Chromebook Links”. The defacing or modification of any chromebook is not permitted. Stickers and other markings must be removed. Since each chromebook is accompanied by a district provided case, this case must remain on the chromebook at all times.

Do not attempt to modify, hack or bypass district security and content filtering systems. Any attempt is a direct violation of the BP6163.4(a) - Student Use of Technology and the Student Acceptable Use Policy Parent/Student shall be responsible for any fees for loss or damage per Board Policy BP6161.2
ATTENDANCE POLICY According to the new State attendance accounting policies, schools are only to report actual attendance; no excuses will be accepted. However, since attendance is an integral part of the teaching/learning process students are still held responsible for the content of all courses regardless of the reason for absence. Attendance is a student/parent responsibility; therefore, in order for the teachers to provide makeup work for the student, a written excuse from the parent or guardian is required following an absence from school. It must be understood that when a student is absent, the class discussions and other student questions cannot be repeated for the student who is absent. It is the responsibility of each student to approach his/her teacher to secure the missed assignments. Courses which do not lend themselves to “Make Up” work may substitute other requirements for the assignments missed (Edgenuity is one curriculum used to meet standards for “Makeup” work).
ATTENDANCE RULES Students who fail to verify absences upon returning to school will receive an unexcused absence, which may be cleared within three days after returning to school. Absences cleared after the third day will remain unexcused absences. An unexcused tardy of 30 minutes or more will be considered an unexcused period absence. Students who are absent from class(es) due to school-sponsored or sanctioned activities are considered to be in attendance, and must meet the assignments in advance of the absence, and upon their return to class participate in regular class activities, including tests. Students must be on time to class on the day of scheduled field trips, or the field trip privilege can be revoked. All students (including 18 year old students) are required to stay for the duration of their assigned schedule and don’t have off campus lunch privileges due to being a closed-campus. Students who are 18 and are leaving, for isolated emergency situations, are required to check out with the attendance clerk before leaving. Failure to follow the checkout procedures can result in disciplinary action and/or alternative student placement. Students under 18 years of age must be signed out by the front office clerk by their parent/guardian, or authorized emergency contact. Fifth year Seniors will be placed on a contract and must attend school with a 90% attendance rate, have no major behavior issues, and obtain 20 credits a quarter to be in good standing at GVHS. Students that fall below this rate will be asked to attend Beaumont Adult School to finish their high school graduate coursework. Students must be on time and in attendance on the day of a scheduled field trip to attend the field trip. Students that don’t meet this attendance criteria will not be permitted to attend the trip. 2017-18 Bell Schedules: The the bell schedule for the 2017-18 school year and the classes beyond lunchtime (12:40) are optional for some students in need of tutoring and/or elective/academic courses on an as needed basis (Monday - Thursday). Students who are late or truant for a class will be required to stay for an afternoon targeted intervention (12:45-1:20) to make up their required four period attendance requirement. Every Friday is an Early Release day and students can leave GVHS at 12:00 or stay for lunch until 12:40. GVHS follows the district minimum day schedule for high schools with minimum day release at 12:00..
ATTENDANCE GUIDE Exposure to and participation in planned educational experiences are most beneficial when students are in attendance. It is difficult for teachers to assign make-up activities that duplicate classroom experiences. Absences may be considered excessive once a student has received 3 absences. Excessive absences may result in the following Interventions: Student/Parent School Designee conference; EMT review; Change of program placement; Home Visit; Referral to SARB (Student Attendance Review Board).
EXCUSED ABSENCES Illness or injury Medical Court Appearance
Religious Holidays Death in Immediate Family Quarantine
Students absent for the above reasons shall be allowed to complete all assignments and tests missed during the absence, which can be reasonably provided and upon satisfactory completion, shall be given full credit earned.
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES Some examples of unexcused absences are: Family vacation Glen View High School 7/2017
Employment
Helping parents in the home
11
Babysitting
Studying
Shopping
Students absent for the above reasons may or may not be allowed to make up assignments at full credit at teacher discretion.
INDEPENDENT STUDY Students/families who know in advance that they are going to be absent from school for 5 or more days may be eligible for Independent Study. You must come to the attendance office at least 5 school days before your 1st day of absence to fill out the required paperwork.
ATTENDANCE OFFICE PROCEDURES NEED TO PICK UP A STUDENT? 1) You must come to the front office, and we will call your student out of class as quickly as possible (identification is required and the person must be on emergency card). 2) If your student will be driving to their appointment, you must specifically state that on the note. The note must include the first and last name of the student and your signature (first and last name), time leaving (not the time of appointment), date, and reason. WHEN A STUDENT IS ABSENT: 1) IMPORTANT: Call in the morning of the day that your student is absent. The number is (951-769-8424). It may be necessary to leave a message. 2) Absences from 1-2 days, call attendance in the morning of each day they are absent. 3) Absences of 3 or more days, call each morning and bring in a note (required by state law) when your student returns. Note must have the complete name of your child, your signature (first and last name), date or dates your student was absent, and the reason for the absence.
TARDY POLICY Any student who is not in class when the bell rings is considered tardy. A student who is tardy to any class will be considered truant and requires a pass from the attendance office clerk to enter class. Consequences are assigned for tardies being that students that are late, are required to attend the 30 minute lunch tutorial from 12:25 - 12:55 . Students have 5 minutes from the time written on their pass to get to their assigned classroom.
CORRECTIVE MEASURES FOR TARDIES To ensure that habitually tardy students can earn credits during each Performance Session and to lessen distractions for on-time students by those arriving late, after a student’s third tardy in any one class per Performance Session, that student will be reassigned to Glen View Success Academy that period for the remainder of the Performance Session. They will be assigned the same 1-credit class if available on Edgenuity so that they can still earn that credit. For courses not available online, the student may re-enroll in that class for that 1 PS the following semester. In the case of repeat offenders (students who have been sent to an edgenuity class previously) teachers will contact parents after a student’s second tardy in a performance session to encourage them to help their child arrive on time. Students tardy to class must stay for the targeted intervention period after lunch to make-up their tardy.
TARGETED INTERVENTION DETENTION Students that are not adhering to their educational/behavioral/attendance obligations will need to stay to make up their coursework/time missed during the after lunch targeted intervention.

Behavior Management
STUDENT BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS Philosophy Every student has the right to be educated in a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment. Every educator has the right to teach in an atmosphere free from disruptions and obstacles that impede learning. The school environment should be characterized by positive interpersonal relationships among students and between students and staff. To that end, the district has adopted and implemented a schoolwide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) program. Students are expected to follow the three key components of PBIS - to Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible. Students are expected to learn and model Beaumont Unified School District’s Student Behavioral Expectations, follow all school and classroom rules, and demonstrate appropriate social skills when interacting with both adults and peers. When behavioral expectations are not met, the student is expected to work to improve behavior. The Key Rules: Be SAFE, Be RESPECTFUL, Be RESPONSIBLE
Use Good Judgment Before you act, ask yourself, "What will be the consequences if I do or say that? Does it meet my needs or solve my problem without creating another potentially larger problem? What could I do instead that would solve my problem without other risks?" Remember, don’t create a bigger problem by acting impulsively! Hands-Off Policy For the safety of all, students must keep their hands off others. Students who touch others in any way must realize they are putting themselves at risk of disciplinary action including possible suspension or expulsion. Each year, more students are suspended for fighting, hitting, pushing, or play fighting than any other offense! Glen View High School 7/2017

STUDENT BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES Beaumont Unified School District follows a progressive discipline policy. The administration reserves the right to assign severe consequences out of progression when behaviors are considered dangerous or extreme. Each referral for disciplinary action will be reviewed individually. The school will work closely with parents to assist all students in exhibiting appropriate behavior at all times. Violation of the school rules may result in disciplinary action. Violation of the school rules may result in disciplinary action including one or more of the following:
TEACHER DISCIPLINE PROCEDURES The following corrective measures may be utilized by the teachers: 1. Classroom assertive discipline - warnings and/or reprimands 2. Conference with student, and a phone call or written communication to parents indicating that this has been necessary 3. Written reflections 4. Teacher-assigned detention 5. Phone or in-person conference with parents 6. Refer student to the counselor or principal Documentation of items 2, 4, 5, and 6 above will be placed in the student’s permanent discipline file in the office.
SCHOOL DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS Violation of the Board of Trustees’ school rules and regulations may result in disciplinary action, including one or more of the following: 1. Corrective counseling 2. Consequences given as part of individual classroom discipline plans 3. Parent contacts, by phone and/or in writing, as necessary 4. Referral to the Principal 5.

15. Suspension or Alternative to suspension, expulsion 16. Filing of civil action Important Note: A student may be suspended or expelled for any violation of E.C. 48900 or 48915 that is related to school activities or attendance that occurs at any time, including, but not limited to, any of the following: 1. While on school grounds 2. While going to or coming from school 3. During the lunch period whether on or off campus, or 4. During, or while going to or coming from a school sponsored activity. Disciplinary action alone will not solve a student’s behavior problems. Parents and district personnel are expected to work together to resolve student behavior problems. Ordinarily, reinstatement in school can occur only after a conference or contact with parents and the student and resolution of the student’s behavior problems. Targeted Intervention Study Hall Detention Students may be detained after school for up to one hour if 24 hours notice is given. Detentions may also be assigned without parent notification during the lunch period (students are provided an opportunity to eat lunch). Transportation is not available for students detained and becomes the parent's responsibility. It is the student's responsibility to deliver a copy of an assigned detention to his/her parent. Detentions must be served on the day assigned unless a parent/guardian contacts the school before the detention is due to be served and makes arrangements. Failure to serve detention may result in further discipline, including suspension. Students must report to detention immediately. If tardy, another detention will be assigned. A second tardy, or any subsequent tardies may result in further discipline. Students must bring work and materials (book, pencils, paper, fully charged Chromebook) to the room where detention is assigned. Detention for not being on task during class instruction or coming late to class is served in Targeted Intervention classes (after lunch with the teacher who assigned the detention). If a student wastes time in class, or is late to class, they owe time in Targeted Intervention (TI) the following day and the parents will be notified of this arrangement 24 hours before the detention by the assigning teacher.. Teachers keep track of student attendance and call home if students don’t show up for their owing of time. Students that don’t attend TI time may receive the following progressive interactions: referral to counselor and call home, principal call home, suspension. Letters will be sent home and need to be signed by the parent for the detention. Students that don’t show up for their detentions, their detention days will accumulate and the student will be expected to serve all assigned days. The following progressive steps will be taken for student detentions: 1. Letter #1 sent home by teacher for parent to sign and return, detention served 24 hours after parent is notified. 2. Letter #2 sent home by teacher for parent to sign and return for no show, detention(s) served 24 hours after parent is notified. 3. Letter #3 sent home by counselor for parent to sign and return for no show, detention(s), served 24 hours after parent is notified. 4. Letter #4 sent home by principal for parent to sign and return for no show, detention(s) served 24 hours after parent is notified. 5. Suspension or Alternative to suspension may result after Letter 4 if the student has not served assigned detentions due to repeated defiance.

DRESS CODE AND GROOMING Philosophy: “The Governing Board believes that appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment. The Board expects students to give proper attention to personal cleanliness and to wear clothes that are suitable for the school activities in which they participate. Students' clothing must not present a health or safety hazard or a distraction, which would interfere with the educational process.” (Excerpt from Board Policy 5132) Parents have the primary responsibility to see that students are properly attired for school. All students have the responsibility to attend school properly dressed. School district personnel have the responsibility for maintaining proper and appropriate conditions conducive to learning. Students shall dress in a manner that does not violate reasonably accepted standards of cleanliness, safety, or decency, as judged by the Principal or his/her designee. The following dress code will be reviewed each year by the School Site Council as necessary. This dress code covers students while they are on campus or at any school-sponsored activity or event: 1. Midriffs should be covered at all times. White undershirt tank tops are not to be worn alone. Tops must cover all parts of undergarments and shall not be low cut or revealing. Glen View High School 7/2017

2. Shoes must be worn at all times. Enclosed toes and no heels are highly encouraged. Platform shoes (over 3 inches), slippers, and other shoes/footwear deemed unsafe are not permitted. Athletic shoes are required for Physical Education (PE) (Sports Elective). 3. Shorts, skirts, and dresses shall not be shorter than mid-thigh. 4. Sunglasses, hats, hoods, bandanas etc. may be worn outside only. Hats may not be worn backwards or sideways. 5. Clothing, hats, and personal belongings must not display printing, emblems, or pictures that: Are crude, vulgar, or sexually suggestive, Promote illegal activities (tagging, penal codes for murder, etc.), Display or promote gang names, activities, or membership, Display language or images that do not align with our District’s Organizational Core Value of treating others with dignity and respect, promote discrimination on the basis of age, sex, sexual orientation, sexual identity, gender, ethnic group identification, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, color, or mental or physical disability, or depict drugs, tobacco, or alcoholic beverages. In general, here are some guidelines to follow when determining what is appropriate to wear to school: SAFE, NOT PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS, MODEST (in length and exposure), NOT VULGAR OR OBSCENE, NO REFERENCES TO ALCOHOL OR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, NOT GANG RELATED
STUDENT DRESS AND GROOMING GUIDELINES, INTERVENTIONS, AND CONSEQUENCES When a student comes to school in violation of the secondary dress and grooming expectations, any of the following interventions and consequences may be used: 1. Parents may be contacted to address the violation. 2. Students may be asked to turn their shirts inside out or wear a shirt given to them by administration. 3. Items may be taken away when worn at inappropriate times. These items will need to be picked up by a parent from the teacher or site administrator. 4. Students who repeatedly dress inappropriately for school may be suspended for defiance.
The principal/designee will be responsible for making determinations as to whether clothing or apparel constitutes a threat to health, safety, campus order, or interferes with or disrupts the educational or instructional process. (Excerpt from Board Policy 5132). POSSESSION OF PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES No student shall be prohibited from possessing or using an electronic signaling device that is determined by a licensed physician or surgeon to be essential for the student's health and the use of which is limited to health-related purposes. (Education Code 48901.5) Electronic devices include any devices powered by batteries, electricity, solar power, etc. Electronic devices include, but are not limited to, devices which utilize computer applications, play/record music, or record and/or send words, text, and/or pictures. Students may possess wireless electronic devices while at school under the following conditions: 1. Electronic devices shall not disrupt the educational program or school activity. 2. If a disruption occurs, the employee will direct the student to turn off the device and put the device away indefinitely unless when advised by the teacher that it can be used as an education tool. If the device continues to hinder the academic progression of the student and is a distraction of instructional time after the initial warning, the student will be asked to leave the device at home and a phone call will be made by the teacher to make this arrangement. If the student brings the phone to school after this arrangement has been made between parent, teacher, and student, the student will be referred to admin for progressive discipline as a result of defiant behavior. 3. Maintenance of personal devices is the sole responsibility of student/parent. 4. The school and/or district are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged devices. District resources and personnel are not expected to be used to investigate lost, stolen, or damaged devices, including devices stolen while in the possession of school employees. However, administration retains the right to investigate at its discretion. 5. Disciplinary action, including suspension, may be taken against students who violate this policy or who take other students’ property. Any device with camera, video, or voice recording function shall not be used in any manner which infringes on the privacy rights of any other person. When a student uses any prohibited device, or uses a permitted device in any unethical or illegal activity, a district employee may confiscate the device. The employee shall store the item in a secure manner until an appropriate time. When a school official suspects that a search of a student or his/her belongings will turn up evidence of the student’s violation of the law or school rules, such a search shall be conducted in accordance with BP/AR 5145.12 – Search and Seizure. (cf. 5145.12 - Search and Seizure)
Glen View High School 7/2017

Students shall not use mobile communications devices, even in hands-free mode, while driving on school grounds or to and from a school-related activity. A student who violates this policy may be prohibited from possessing a mobile communications device at school or school-related events and/or may be subject to further discipline in accordance with Board policy and administrative regulation.
BICYCLE/SKATEBOARD POLICY Bikes/skateboards/scooters are not to be ridden on campus at any time. Bikes/skateboards/scooters must be locked securely with the student’s lock in the bike rack area, and remain there during school hours. Bike/skateboard/scooters must be walked at all times when entering or leaving the bike rack area or school grounds. The school is not responsible for stolen or damaged bikes/skateboards/scooters. Helmets are required for bicycles by law, and students must comply with the law if they park their bicycle on school grounds.
CHEATING POLICY The board expects that students will not cheat, lie, plagiarize, or commit other acts of academic dishonesty. Students found to have committed an act of academic dishonesty shall be subject to district and school-site discipline. (BP 5131.9) All students must always do their own work. Students involved in cheating on assignments or exams will not receive credit for assignments or exams on which cheating occurred.

BULLETIN / PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE At the beginning of fourth period everyday, items of information and interest to students may be read over the intercom by the principal or designee. The Pledge of Allegiance is also recited. Students are requested to stand, face the flag, and respect the ceremony.
EMERGENCY CARDS Emergency cards, with all necessary information for each child, are maintained in the school office. It is very important to notify the school office of ANY CHANGES. Current Information to protect your child’s health and well being is necessary. We cannot stress enough how important these cards are. Your child’s emergency care is dependent upon up-to-date information.
FIRST AID Authorized school personnel may administer temporary aid. Any injury received at school should be reported immediately to the supervising teacher. Emergency locator cards are required of each student so that the appropriate individual may be contacted in case of emergency.

LOST AND FOUND All articles found on campus should be turned in to the office where owners may claim them. Any unclaimed lost and found articles will be disposed of at the end of each semester.
METAL DETECTORS/CAMERAS The initiation of metal detectors by Beaumont Unified School District is designed to deter the presence of weapons on school campuses and thereby prevent violence and serious physical injury in the school setting. Students are subject to search for weapons by metal detectors. Videotaping may be utilized to detect persons involved in any school rule violations. (GVHS does not have metal detectors currently).
PARKING Student parking is available in the parking lot.. Parking and driving regulations are strictly enforced. Students are not allowed to loiter at any time in the parking lot or vehicles. Violation of any of these rules may result in loss of parking privileges and/or disciplinary action. The school is not responsible for privately owned vehicles.

INCLEMENT WEATHER Weather conditions may arise after the start of school, which require early dismissal of students in order to get students bused home safely. Since it is impossible to predict when this will happen, PLEASE INFORM YOUR CHILD OF AN ALTERNATE PLACE TO GO IN CASE YOU ARE NOT HOME WHEN HE/SHE ARRIVES EARLY. On extremely windy, cold, or rainy days the pupils remain inside for breaks, lunch, or physical education. When it is necessary to adjust our schools’ schedule in case of an emergency, or to cancel school, the school administrator, if possible, will inform parents in writing the day before. During an emergency condition in which prior notice is not possible, parents are asked to listen to any of the local radio stations: KMET (1490 AM) KFXM (590 AM) KFI (690 AM)
KMEN (1290 AM) KCKC (1350 AM) KCAL (1410 AM) Spanish
KDUO (97.5 FM) KBIG (104.5 FM)
When school remains in session during severe inclement weather or emergency conditions, parents may pick up their child from school at any time. Parents, or a designated adult, must come to the school attendance office, in person, to officially check out their child. The site administrator, at his discretion, may release students with written or verbal permission from the parent. Parents are to have a current telephone number and address on file in each school office, as well as work telephone numbers(s) and an emergency telephone number and address. Parents are also responsible for arranging an alternative home for children to go to, and to inform their children where to go during severe inclement weather or emergency conditions, should the parents not be home.
