School officials have a responsibility for the supervision of all students during school hours. For this reason, leaving school property during school hours is viewed as a serious offense. Parents rightfully assume that their own child is observing their assigned schedule and is remaining on school property unless dismissed for valid reasons. The following procedure shall be used to handle such violations:

  • First Offense
    • The student will be referred to the office through a discipline referral form.
    • The student's privileges will be suspended for a period of two (2) weeks and the student will be assigned in-school suspension.
    • The student's parents will be notified that any further violations will be cause for suspension.
  • Second Offense (and each offense thereafter)
    • The student will be referred to the office through a discipline referral form.
    • The student's privileges will be suspended for a period of one (1) month and the student will receive one day of out-of-school suspension.

Subsequent offenses will result in further privilege suspension and multiple days of out-of-school suspension.

Note: A student who misses a scheduled class(es) as a result of the above violation is also subject to the class cut policy, where appropriate.
