Consequences

Consequences for Violation of Behavior Expectations

Discipline Referral: Students are expected to follow school and classroom guidelines. It is the teacher's

responsibility to discuss appropriate classroom behavior standards. Students who fail to follow school

rules will receive a discipline referral that will be reviewed by the school administration.

Detention: Administrative detention is a supervised period held for after school at administrative or

teacher discretion. If a student fails to attend an assigned detention, he/she will be assigned a Saturday

School or In-School Suspension. Students are required to come to detention with materials prepared to

study. Student participation in an extra-curricular activity is not an excuse for missing detention. If there is

a scheduling conflict it is the duty for the student to report to office staff or administration the conflict and

to have a detention rescheduled.

Saturday School: Saturday School is assigned to students as a result of unexcused absences, excessive

class cuts, lack of academic progress, or other disciplinary actions. The hours are from 8:00 a.m. to

12:15 pm with a 15 minute break. Students are to bring homework and textbooks. All school rules apply.

Students who fail to report to Saturday School will receive an In-School Suspension. If a student is

participating in an extracurricular activity (like athletics) they will not be eligible to participate in any

activity until they have completed their assigned Saturday School.

Demerits and Eligibility: In order to quantify misbehavior on our campus we have a system of demerits.

Demerits are earned when a student receives a consequence for misbehavior and violations of our

school wide expectations. The values of each behavior are listed below:

● Detention: 2 points for each day of detention. If a student is a no show to detention the detention

will be double to 4 points

● In House Suspension: 8 points for each day of in house suspension.

● Suspension: 10 points for each day of suspension. A 3 day suspension would result in 30 pts.

● Saturday Day School: 8 points for each day of Saturday School.

● Class Suspension: 2 points for each day of class suspension.

Below are possible consequences when a student has reached 30 demerits:

● No Go List: The Student will not be allowed to participate in extracurricular activities or attend

school events for the remainder of the year.

● No Pass List: Students will not be allowed to leave class without permission and will be escorted.

● Athletic Eligibility: Suspension and/or removal from sports team (see Athletics Handbook).

● Work Permit: A student may have their work permit privileges revoked.

Students will have an opportunity to earn merits through Saturday School remediation and community

service hours. In order to take advantage of either form of merits students will need to meet with

administration.

Student Attendance Review Board (SARB): A student will be referred to the Student Attendance Review

Board (SARB) when he/she has received three truancy letters. Parents will receive written notification of

the SARB hearing and are expected to attend with their student. SARB reviews each student's case and

may recommend a change of placement, a student contract, or other means of intervention. Members of

the SARB include EUSD administration, Child Protective Services, Counselor, Yolo County District

Attorney, and Yolo County Sheriff .

Administrative Conference: An Administrative Conference is required when a student is believed to be

involved in the possession, use, sale and/or furnishing of any controlled substance, 5 day suspensions,

or any other serious infraction of school rules. The Administrative Conference determines the manner in

which a student will be allowed to continue attending Esparto High School. The members in attendance

at the Administrative Conference are the Principal, student, and parent.

Class Suspension by Teacher:

a) The teacher suspending the student must be the student's teacher.

b) A teacher may suspend a student from class for the duration of two class periods.

c) The teacher will send the suspended student with a referral to the site

administrator. The teacher is to call the parent to discuss the behavior.

d) The teacher must contact the parent by phone within twenty-four hours and

request a parent/teacher conference prior to the student returning to class.
