Santa Maria High School possesses tremendous history and community pride that has lasted over 120 years. Santa Maria High School has a talented staff and a supportive community that provides our students the best possible opportunity to embrace the “Saints” experience.

Our school community is determined to help every student succeed.

Importantly, our school’s fundamental charge is to ac-cess the talents of every student and value the contribution that each student brings to the learning environ-ment. Santa Maria High School is also recognized as a California Distinguished School.

• Increase attendance

• 300:1 ratio of students to counselors

• Increase graduation rate

However, with any great history and tradition comes tremendous responsibility. The current students and staff must embrace, cherish and maintain the historic “Saints” tradition! Your high school years are an important and exciting time in your life and we highly encourage all students to be involved in the variety of activities, clubs, athletic teams and social events available at Santa Maria High School. This handbook is designed to help you and your parents become familiar with Santa Maria High School's academic requirements, activi-ties, policies, rules and procedures. We have provided important phone numbers and the names of key con-tact people to answer your questions. Refer to this handbook often and use it to plan your school year.

It is our mission to serve our students. To this end, if there is anything that we can do to support you as the student or parent/guardian, please contact us immediately. We will do what has to be done to ensure that our students succeed! Yours in education,

Modified Block Schedule (MBS) This schedule requires that all students take two, 90-minute classes and one 105 minute class. They are also strongly encouraged to take one additional 50-minute class, during blocks “A” or “Z”. Block 1 includes 15 addi-tional minutes. The MBS provides many benefits, some of which are:

• ·Fewer students are in each class, with no class having more than 30 (except PE classes).

• ·Students may take more demand-ing classes.

• ·Improved and expanded noontime in-tramural and club activities.

• ·Teachers have fewer student contacts each day, resulting in greater personal-ization between students and their t eache rs . (Teachers a r e b e t t e r able to provide additional assistance, if needed.)

• ·Students are able to learn the subject matter i n g r e a t e r d e p t h . (Students concentrate on three courses at a time, and spend more time each day studying them in greater detail.)

Class Changes/Class Drops

A class can only be changed at the begin-ning of a term if a student:

• Lacks the course prerequisite,

• Previously enrolled in that class, or

• Administrative or clerical error.

A class change is not permitted for:

• Not liking the subject,

• Not liking the teacher, or

• Not receiving a passing grade.

If for some extraordinary reason, a student is unable to complete a class (i.e., poor health) the student may receive an “Incomplete.” The student must complete the work by the end of the first 9-weeks of the following term, or the “Incomplete” will turn into an “ F” g r ade , un less a g rade change has been submitted by the teacher within 9 weeks.

Drops and Class Credit A student who drops a course after ten school days shall receive an F grade on his/her permanent record, unless otherwise decided by the principal or designee because of extenuating circumstances, was misplaced in the course, or has already taken the class.(AR5121). The student, parent, and teacher must meet with the Guidance Assis-tant Principal to drop a class for any other reason. Teachers do not drop students from class. Drops will be approved by an administra-tor and initiated by a guidance technician..

Early Graduation

Seniors requesting to be early graduates must have all the necessary credits to graduate by the progress report of each term. Please see your guidance technician for an application.

Extended Day Classes Santa Maria High School offers academic core classes as part of the extended day pro-gram. These classes are yearl ong courses that will meet during ‘A block’, 7:30to 8:20 a.m. each day. The ‘A block’ extended day program is part of SMHS’s daily bell sched-ule. The extended day will maximize student opportunities to complete courses that are needed to meet graduation requirements. The extended day also provides additional opportunities for students to receive aca-demic support through intervention courses offered during blocks 1, 2 and 3. The ex-tended day is part of a student’s regular schedule of classes. Students must attend the class each day. The students for ex-tended day classes will be done randomly.

Block A = 50 Minutes Block 1 = 105 Minutes Block 2 = 95 Minutes Block 3 = 95 Minutes Block Z = 50 Minutes

Absences not excused by the parents within two days of the occurrence will become a “Cut” or an unexcused absence. Stu-dents may not be permitted to make up work missed during a period in which they “Cut”. Absences for the following reasons are NOT cuts and n o t w i t h s t a n d i n g E .

Ensuring student attendance is a family responsibility. However, student atten-dance has a f inancia l impact on the quali ty of education the school is able to provide. The school receives funding only when the student is in class. Therefore, absences of any kind have an adverse financial effect on the instruc-tional mate r ia l s , textbooks, field trips, and services provided to your student. Students must be aware that attendance in all classes is important for a suc-cessfu l academic experience. A direct correlation exists between good atten-dance and high academic scores, enjoy-ment of school and eventual success in the work force. Building good habits for life, such as reliability and punctuality, is equally important. Students need to un-derstand that at this point in their lives school is their number one priority. Santa Maria High School has a ZERO tolerance attendance policy in which CUTS and TARDIES are NOT acceptable. Each cut or tardy will have a conse-quence for the student.

A “little late” is too late!

Leaving Campus During the School Day

When students need to check out of school due to illness or medical ap-pointments they will go to the Health Office in the Community Health Cen-ter. Parents need to pick their child up at the information desk in the Admini-stration Building. If you have any ques-tions please call the Health Office at 925-2567, ext. 3581 or ext. 3582.

Extended Leave Absence Santa Maria High does not grant ex-tended leaves for any reason, before and after school breaks. Students who plan to miss school for an extended period of time must meet with their student’s counselor prior to leaving, so that they will fully understand the impact on their education. These ab-sences will have an effect on a stu-dent’s education and may lower their current grade and may affect their senior privileges. Students will lose credits in his/her P.E. class due to the lack of participation. Students who leave for extended periods will also lose their seat on the next semester class schedule if absent the first three days of term 1, 2, 3 or 4 and will be put in OCS (On Campus Suspension) until his/her return to school, at which time a new schedule will be made pending the availability of classes. SMJUHSD has a three week winter break December 16, 2013 - January 7, 2014.

OFF CAMPUS SENIOR PRIVILEGES

Partially Closed Campus

Effective the 2007-2008 school year, the Board voted for a closed campus at Santa Maria High School. In response to a request by Santa Maria High School staff, the Board agreed to consider permitting some students to leave campus dur-ing the day. Santa Maria High School was asked to provide the Board a proposal for determining which students would be allowed off campus. The recommendation is outlined below. Students Permitted to leave campus:

a. Seniors with a 2.0 cumulative GPA. b. Seniors with “senior” status of 160 units passed by the beginning of Term I and 190 units passed by the beginning of Term III. c . Seniors with NO OUTSTANDING textbook, library, sports, activity fines, or ASB fines.

Seniors will immediately lose the privilege of leaving campus should any of the fol-lowing occur:

a. Suspension off campus. b. Have 10 or more cuts. c. Unpaid fines at the beginning of Terms III or IV. d. Falling below a 2.0 cumulative GPA at the beginning of Terms III or IV. e. Misuse of ID card: e.g., allowing someone else to use the card, hiding someone in a car if driving off campus, copying the card for someone else, etc.

Students who qualify for “Senior Privilege Status” would be identified at the begin-ning of Terms I and III. Seniors who do not meet the criteria in January would lose the privilege for the remainder of the school year.

OTHER INFORMATION

Saint Pride Standards of Excellence As we m o v e t o w a r d s m a k i n g S a n t a M a r i a H i g h School a distinguished school, we strongly believe that we need to establish a school culture that recognizes that when a student is at Santa Maria High School their focus should be to learn and achieve. Therefore we feel that we need to communi-cate to our Parents and Students that we are commit-ted to establishing Saint Pride Standards of Excel-lence as our way of sending a clear and resounding message of our commitment to their academic suc-cess.

1. TARDY CAMPAIGN - A school site concentrated effort to eliminate student tardiness. Students are required to be in class prior to the final bell. This will make getting to class a Student priority as well as eliminate class interruptions and provide for Bell-to-Bell Instruction. Consequences will be as follows:

• Students who arrive late to class will be placed in OCS for the remainder of the block

• Parent will be notified via automated sys-tem

• Lunch Detention • Saturday School • Parent Conferences • Administrator Conference • Possible schedule change or change of place-

ment 2. BALL CAP POLICY - only Santa Maria High

School Ball Caps are authorized on campus and at after school activities. This is a school site concentrated effort to eliminate any negative influ-ence or affiliation, increase school safety, and pro-mote school pride. This policy allows for consis-tency in enforcement. SMHS Ball Caps can be purchased in the school store. Consequences will be as follows:

• First offense - warning to put the ball cap

away out of sight. • Confiscate the ball cap with parent notifica-

tion/pick-up. • Detention/suspension • Parent Conference with Administrator

Note: Headgear may not be worn inside the class-room. This policy exists for both girls and boys; this includes but is not limited to hats, hoods, scarves, “do-rags”, beanies and head bands.

3. IDENTIFICATION CARDS - Proper identification promotes school safety and reflects Saint Pride. This policy also supports district and site guidelines by following the present ID Card rule that states “students must possess a current ID at all times.” Students will be required to wear their ID card on their upper torso and it must be visible at all times. Students failing to have their ID cards will be required to wear a temporary ID card. Students will be required to get a replace-ment picture ID card within 2-school days. Stu-dents that lose their ID card may purchase re-placement ID’s for $2.00 at the Business Office prior to school, during lunch or after school. Stu-dents will then present their receipt at the Library during lunch or after school to have a picture taken. Repeated non- compliance may result in detention or on/off-campus suspension.

Electronic Devices at SMHS

Santa Maria High School is not responsible for lost or stolen electronic devices of any kind. Two-way radios are not allowed. Cell phones, pagers, and/or any type of electronic devices de-signed for communication or music playing devices are not permitted to be used in the classroom and/or may not interfere with the instructional process. Pointers and cameras are not permitted. These items will be taken from the student and a parent/guardian which is listed on the student’s Point of Contact will be required to pick them up after school from 3:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. In addition, the student may face disciplinary action per the Major Disciplinary Policy guidelines. Cell phones shall remain turned off during all class times. Cell phones and electronic devices (including earphones and headphones) inside the classroom are at teacher discretion, however, they should not be out when transiting from one location to another during class time. Confiscated cell phones/electronic devices will be turned into the Security Office and will only be available for pick-up after school from 3:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.. Second and succeeding of-fenses will also result in confiscation AND WILL BE HELD IN THE SCHOOL SECURITY OFFICE FOR MINIMUM OF 72 HOURS. Parents/guardians will be required to personally come to school and claim the item. Repeat violations of this policy will result in suspension of 1-3 days per offense and or longer/confiscated hours.

OTHER INFORMATION

In the event of an emergency, students should ask permission to use their own cell phone or a school phone. Parents should not contact stu-dents on their cell phones as this violates the electronics policy. In the event of an emergency, parents or family members may contact the school office to get in contact with their students.

School Dress Code The dress code complies with District and State policies. These policies require that student attire be neat, clean, and non-disruptive. Interpretation of this policy rests with the individual class-room instructor, site administrators or any staff member while students are on campus. Requirements apply to all students, as provided in the Education Code and/or District Policy as fol-lows:

1. Students are asked to choose clothing that is ap-

propriate for the school setting. State law requires that footwear be worn at all times.

2. Students should wear appropriate, non- dis-tracting, clean clothing. Clothing depicting weap-ons, with drug/alcohol/tobacco or sex related or obscene gestures/profanity shall not be worn or displayed on campus or at school related activi-ties.

3. Tattoos should be covered; particularly those that promote gang-affiliation should not be visible.

10. Any a r t i c l e o f c l o t h i n g t h a t m a y b e d e e m e d disruptive or inappropriate by the administration will not be acceptable on campus.

11. Violation of the dress code will result in requir-ing the student to change the inappropriate attire before continuing the school day. Parents will be asked to come to school to bring a change of clothes before the student can return to class. Continued violations will result in further discipli-nary action.

CAMPUS VISITORS Parents are not permitted to enter the campus or classroom to deliver items to their student. If a par-ent or guardian wishes to enter the campus as a visitor, State Law requires that you check-in with an administrator first. You must check–in at the Administration Building to be issued a visitor’s pass, if your visitation has been pre-arranged/pre-approved by the teacher and/or administrator. SMHS teachers are happy to speak with parents about visiting classes, but arrangements must be made prior to the date of the visit. Students are not permitted to bring other stu-dents as guests to Santa Maria High School as visitors. This policy is enforced to help us en-sure the safety of your student and all others.
