BEHAVIORAL STANDARDS

ATTENDANCE

Students are expected to attend all of their classes every day. A student with excessive absences/tardies is required to have a conference with his/her parent and grade level administrator and may be subject to police citation for habitual truancy.

STUDENT BEHAVIORS NOT PERMITTED

  • Disrupting the school or classroom
  • Leaving campus during school hours unless authorized by a parent/guardian 
  • Using profane or vulgar language or making obscene/suggestive gestures
  • Making any threat to commit, attempting to commit, or committing any physical violence against school personnel or other students

  • Bringing skateboards, scooters, or roller blades on campus
  • Possessing radios, CD players, or other electronic equipment at school
  • Any behaviors deemed inappropriate by the administrative team

Ipods/Cell Phones: Although Former Governor Gray Davis lifted the ban on possession of cell phones, the disruptive use of cell phones remains prohibited. No student may disrupt the educational environment of a school by using a cell phone for reasons other than the Ed. Code intended. Cell phones may be used in medical emergencies, or in the event of a clear and present threat to the safety of all students. Cell phones are subject to confiscation by staff if the use or misuse (including showing to friends, theft, loss, etc.) disrupts the classroom or campus in any way. Also, cell phones should not be visible and must remain turned off. Cell phones that are taken away from students will be returned only to the parent or guardian. On the second offense, the student will be subject to disciplinary action. If the use of a cell phone promotes violence on campus, disciplinary action will be taken immediately.

CONSEQUENCES

Students, who are unable to abide by school-wide expectation thereby interfering with the learning process and the orderly school environment, will receive one or more appropriate consequences. Examples include, but are not limited to, demerits, detention, referral to ACE (Alternate Classroom Experience), referral to a counselor or grade level administrator, parent conference, on-campus or home suspension, suspension to the Truancy Center, disciplinary transfer to another high school, or expulsion from the CUSD.

The following behaviors will result in suspension, alternative placement, and/or referral to the CUSD Guidance Committee for expulsion:

  • Physical injury to another person
  • Possession of firearms, knives, explosives, other dangerous objects or toys/replicas of these objects
  • Selling, possession, or use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco
  • Robbery or extortion
  • Damage to or theft of school property
  • Obscene acts or use of profanity
  • Sexual harassment

FIGHTING – ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

Fighting is not tolerated at Centennial. If you are having problems with another student, you are responsible for immediately notifying an adult staff member on campus. Students who fight will face the standard CUSD mandatory suspension from school. In addition, they will be subject to citation and/or arrest by the CPD. Students who are arrested must appear in court with their parents/guardians.
