North Clackamas School District K- 12 GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT BEHAVIOR School is a place where students come to get an education. We think they should be able to learn in a school that is safe and orderly. In North Clackamas, we insist on this because we want the best for your child. Open, honest communication with you is the best way we know to achieve this goal. Students, parents, and the school must share the responsibility for creating the best possible school setting. Students must respect themselves, the school, staff members, and their classmates. The North Clackamas School District has set the guidelines in this booklet to guide consistency in discipline at all elementary and secondary schools. This booklet details the major problem areas seen in the North Clackamas School District. Students and parents should be aware that this booklet is a guideline and does not describe all behaviors, nor does it describe the many positive activities used to help students change their behavior. Any level of consequence may be administered for any offense, taking into consideration the age and the past behavior of the student. District Policies should be consulted for detailed information. RESPONSIBILITIES STUDENTS Students can show responsibility by: Coming to school each day Being prepared to learn Showing respect for staff members in the building at all times Showing respect for classmates Being well mannered Using good language Walking quietly in the halls Keeping all personal items in the proper places Using items that belong to others only with their permission Seeking alternative peaceful ways to resolve conflicts Not bringing disruptive, harmful, or illegal things to school PARENTS Parents can help students learn to take responsibility by: Helping students get up in the morning to arrive at school on time Supporting school staff in helping students develop a sense of respect for authority Impressing upon students that school is a place to learn Supporting the idea that taking what belongs to another student is wrong Teaching and discussing good health habits regarding alcohol, drugs, and tobacco Helping students develop a sense of respect for themselves and others Helping students to develop alternative, peaceful methods of resolving conflict Impressing upon students not to bring disruptive, harmful, or illegal things to school Learning from mistakes and not repeating misbehavior Cooperating with school staff to improve the students’ behavior Helping students understand that continued misbehavior disrupts the educational process SCHOOL The school can help parents and students by: Communicating expectations for students Keeping accurate records of student attendance Communicating regularly with parents Showing respect for students Reinforcing good behavior Modeling appropriate behavior Creating learning environments to help students behave and use their time properly Keeping classrooms neat and orderly Encouraging students to participate in good health habits and physical fitness Discouraging the use of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs Providing a school environment where students feel safe and comfortable Establishing an atmosphere of open communication for students to seek help from staff Reporting and identifying behavioral problems Involving parents North Clackamas School District #12 complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, marital status, national origin, gender, age, or disability.

Most behavior problems can be handled routinely with properly organized school and classroom programs. Nearly all students respond satisfactorily to friendly encouragement, firm direction, and understanding guidance. For those students who do not, and to protect the rights of all our students, it is important that parents and students understand the consequences of misbehavior. There are certain responsibilities we all share in helping overcome behavior problems. If a student’s misbehavior is directly related to an identified disability, the school staff will take such conditions into account. A student who becomes involved in areas of problem behavior will be subjected to certain disciplinary actions. Depending upon the seriousness of the behavioral problem, one or more of the following actions will be taken by the school staff. In the case of severe violation of rules, the disciplinary action taken may extend beyond these guidelines. ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE A conference will be held with the student, the teacher, the administrator, and other appropriate staff members to develop a plan for improving behavior. The parent may be contacted and attend the conference. PARENT/GUARDIAN INVOLVEMENT The parent will be informed of the problem area. A conference with the student, the parent, and appropriate staff members may be scheduled. If a plan is developed to help improve the student’s behavior, copies will be given to the student and the parent. LOSS OF PRIVILEGES The school administration may notify the parent of privilege suspension. These privileges may include removing the student from the playground, cafeteria, media center, and/or class participation. DISCIPLINARY REASSIGNMENT/DETENTION A misbehaving student will be reassigned to a separate, supervised environment away from usual school activities. This may include a referral to counseling, a schedule change, a supervised detention before or after school, and/or an optional work assignment around the school (recorded in student’s behavioral file). SHORT SUSPENSION The student is excluded from school and school/district related activities for a period of up to three (3) school days. In these cases, parents will be notified. A conference between the administrator, student, parents, and other appropriate school staff will be conducted and recorded in the student’s behavioral file. LONG SUSPENSION ▲ / ▲▲ / ▲▲▲ The student is excluded from school and school/district related activities for a period of up to ten (10) school days. Parents will be notified. A conference between the administrator, student, parents, and other appropriate school staff will be conducted and recorded in the student’s behavioral file. 6 EXPULSION ▲ / ▲▲ / ▲▲▲ The principal, through the Superintendent or designee, may recommend that a student be expelled. The student is suspended pending a hearing and/or action by the Board of Directors. Through this action, the student is excluded from school and all non-public activities for the length of the current semester. Under special cases, exceptions in the length of the expulsion may be recommended to the Board of Directors by the school staff. The student and parent are notified of charges by telephone and certified letter. The procedure of expulsion follows in accord with the rights of the student within due process and is recorded in student’s behavioral file. Law enforcement officials may be notified. ▲ For complete information on the due process procedure, contact your school administrator. ▲▲ In cases of alcohol or drug violations, substance abuse assessments and treatment will be available options at parent/guardian expense. ▲▲▲ In the event that a student’s misbehavior is directly related to an identified disability, legal guidelines will be followed in the implementation of disciplinary action. PROCESS AND RIGHTS ■ DUE PROCESS This booklet explains the major disciplinary problem areas and the action that may result for those students who do not follow these rules. All students are entitled to due process. This means that no action will be taken against a student until everyone involved has presented the facts and a judgment has been made. There are also procedures that students and parents must follow if they do not agree with the school’s actions. Hopefully students will never be in a situation where they need the protection of due process. If, however, a student does become involved in a suspension or expulsion, both the student and his/her legal guardian, upon request to the principal, will be given a more detailed description of the due process procedure. ■ SUSPENSION PROCESS Students may be suspended by the Board of Directors, the Superintendent, school principals, or their administrative designate. Unless an emergency situation exists, relating to health or safety, the student shall receive prior notice of the suspension, specification of the charges, and an opportunity to present his view of the alleged misconduct. The suspending administrator may postpone these procedures if there is a risk that harm will occur if the suspension does not take place immediately. In all cases, an administrator will notify the legal guardian by letter and, when possible, by telephone. The Board of Directors will have the right of final review of the suspension action. A Short Suspension will consist of an exclusion of a student from school and all school/district related activities in the school for a period of up to three (3) school days. In these cases, a conference between the administrator, student, and other appropriate persons will be conducted. 7 A Long Suspension will consist of an exclusion of a student from school and all school/district related activities in the school for a period of up to ten (10) school days. A conference between the administrator, student, and other appropriate persons will be conducted. The legal guardian has the opportunity to respond to the charges and may request a conference with appropriate school authorities. In special cases, as determined to be necessary by the administrator ordering the suspension, a long suspension may be continued beyond 10 school days pending the occurrence of some specific action (e.g., a physical or psychological examination, incarceration by court action, or action by the Board of Directors regarding expulsion). ■ EXPULSION PROCESS The principal or administrative designate, through the Superintendent, may recommend that a student be expelled. The student is suspended, pending a hearing and/or action by the Board of Directors. Through this action of the Board of Directors, the student is excluded from school attendance and from all nonpublic activities in the District. The length of expulsion will be for the remaining days in the current semester or up to one calendar year - and may result in the loss of current semester credits. Under special circumstances, exceptions in the length of the expulsion may be recommended to the Board of Directors by school staff. The Board of Directors will make the final decision in all expulsion cases. The expulsion will be enacted during the semester in which the offense occurred and may extend to the next semester if the expulsion occurs late in the current semester. In cases of severe physical assault upon school officials, the expulsion may result in exclusion from school to include the remaining days of the current semester and the entire length of the following semester. Any student shall be expelled from school for a period of not less than one year who is determined to have: 1. Brought a weapon to a school, to school property under the jurisdiction of the district, or to an activity under the jurisdiction of the school district. 2. Possessed, concealed, or used a weapon in a school or on school property, or at an activity under the jurisdiction of the district. Violators shall also be referred to the proper legal authorities. The Superintendent may modify the expulsion recommendation to the Board of Directors for a student on a case-by-case basis. The student and legal guardian are notified of charges by telephone and certified letter. The procedure of expulsion follows in accord with the rights of the student within due process. These rights may be reviewed by the legal guardian upon request to the school administrator. 8 ■ SEARCH & SEIZURE Search of the student’s person or possessions will be limited to the situation where there is reasonable suspicion that a student is hiding evidence of an illegal act or a school violation. When practical, the student shall be present when a search of his/her possessions (including automobiles) is conducted. Items confiscated during an inspection, investigation, or search will be held by the school administration pending further investigation or disciplinary action. Items held or confiscated by the school will be evaluated for return to the proper owner upon completion of an investigation or disciplinary action. Contraband or unlawful items, the possession of which violate the Guidelines for Student Behavior, North Clackamas School District policy, state laws, and/or federal laws shall not be returned to the student or to any representative of the student--such items shall either be turned over to law enforcement officials or destroyed by the school. Other items left unclaimed after an investigation of disciplinary action will be disposed of by the school. Each school may set aside a time period, with reasonable advance notice to students, when all lockers will be inspected for overdue library books and prohibited items. ■ POLICE INVOLVEMENT School officials may notify police authorities, and in cases of major violations, may press charges. If police authorities are notified, legal guardians will be contacted. Any action taken by police authorities will be in addition to action by the school. School officials, guided by district procedures, will cooperate with police authorities during investigations. ■ DISCRIMINATION/HARASSMENT It is the practice of the North Clackamas School District not to discriminate against any individual on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status. Discrimination and/or harassment are behaviors perceived by the receiver as unwelcome actions or words that threaten, violate, or intimidate a person’s well being. It may include, but is not limited to, the use of verbal or practical jokes, unwelcome touching, offensive remarks or put downs, or displays of objects and materials which create an offensive environment, including the defamation of an individual by the initiation or perpetration of knowingly false and/or harmful statements. Harassment or discriminatory conduct of any kind, whether physical or verbal, committed by school personnel or students, is prohibited. Students who believe they have been the victims of discrimination, harassment, or intimidation in any form should first discuss the matter with their counselor or an administrator with whom the student is comfortable discussing the matter. 9 If the problem is not due to a simple misunderstanding that can be resolved by the counselor or administrator the student is comfortable speaking with, the student should file a complaint. ■ GANGS/SECRET SOCIETIES Oregon law prohibits the existence of any secret society in public schools (ORS 336.6101 (1)). A secret society is an organization composed of students, which has an element of purpose, which is concealed from the public and shared only confidentially among members of the organization. Students who participate in gang-like activities at school or school functions-such as possession or display of gang-related clothing, symbols, or paraphernalia; distribution of gang literature or materials; display of gang-related posters or graffiti, signs, or signals; harassment or intimidation of others; or recruitment for gang membership will be subject to strict disciplinary measures, including possible expulsion. ■ SEXUAL HARASSMENT It is the practice of the North Clackamas School District not to discriminate against any student on the basis of sex. In keeping with that practice, the district will not tolerate sexual harassment of any of its students. Sexual harassment is considered to be a major offense, which can result in disciplinary action against the offender. Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct that is directed toward a person because of that person’s gender, or unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. ■ WEAPONS Any student shall be expelled from school for one year who is determined to have: 1. 2. Brought a weapon to a school, to school property under the jurisdiction of the district, or to an activity under the jurisdiction of the school district. Possessed, concealed, or used a weapon in a school or on school property or at an activity under the jurisdiction of the district. Weapons may include, but are not limited to knives, metal knuckles, straight razors, noxious or irritating gases, poisons, pellet guns, BB guns, paintball guns or other projectile devices, or unlawful drugs (“Deadly Weapon” as defined in ORS 161.015). Violators shall also be referred to the proper legal authorities. The Superintendent may modify the expulsion recommendation to the Board of Directors for a student on a case-by-case basis. ■ BUS RULES The following rules and regulations apply to all students riding district-operated school buses. These rules and regulations were established to assist the drivers in assuring that you are afforded the safest possible ride to and from school. The school bus driver is responsible for the enforcement of the regulations. 10 • • • • • • Students being transported are under authority of the bus driver. Students shall stay in their seats and keep their hands and feet to themselves. Students must have permission from parents, guardians, and/or the school to leave the bus other than at the regular stop. Students shall converse in normal tones-profane language is prohibited. No animals can be transported on the bus. Students who refuse to obey may forfeit their privilege to ride the bus. Automatic suspension of bus privileges may result for the following infractions: • • • • • • • • Use of tobacco Fighting Possession of alcohol or drugs Throwing hazardous objects in or from the bus Interference with the safe operation of the bus Flagrant insubordination/defiance Vandalism Weapons ■ BUS CONDUCT REFERRAL PROCEDURES When rule violations occur: 1. Bus driver will notify the building administrator using the appropriate bus conduct referral form. 2. The administrator will counsel the student regarding appropriate behavior, notify parent or guardian, and take appropriate steps to improve student behavior. 3. Continued inappropriate or unsafe behavior may result in loss of bus riding privileges. ■ ANTI-BIAS COMMITMENT North Clackamas School District is committed to the concept that ethnic/culture diversity strengthens the school community and that all students should feel included in that community. Because it is the district’s responsibility to ensure a safe environment for all students, North Clackamas School District will not tolerate acts of racial or any other form of discrimination or harassment. The goal of this policy is to create a climate that enhances the dignity, importance, and academic achievement of each individual. 11 NORTH CLACKAMAS SCHOOLS-DISTRICTWIDE ATHLETIC CODE OF CONDUCT The Athletic Code of Conduct applies to all students participating in a North Clackamas School District high school activity program. This code applies 24 hours each day, seven days a week. It applies to in-school and out-of-school conduct. It applies to all students once they have registered in school and extends for the duration of the enrollment in the district. Drugs are defined as any illegal drug, including narcotics, hallucinogens, amphetamines, barbiturates, marijuana, anabolic steroids, and other substances made illegal by federal law, as well as the misuse or unauthorized use or possession of paraphernalia or prescriptions drugs. Tobacco is defined as the use or possession of any tobacco product, including chewing tobacco and electronic cigarettes. DRUGS/ALCOHOL (USE OR POSSESSION): First Consequence (during current year or next sport season in which the athlete participates within one calendar year) Exclusion from athletic participation for a period of time to include twenty percent of contests/activities or playing dates and assessment for chemical dependency; (student having difficulty scheduling an assessment will be allowed to participate after missing twenty percent of the contests, if assessment appointment is verified by an administrator); or dismissal from activity participation for one calendar year if assessment is refused. Twenty percent is to be calculated from the total scheduled contests for the regular season. If the calculation computes into a fraction of an additional contest, then the exclusion shall continue through that full contest, and not some portion thereof. Second Consequence (for second violation during grades 9-12) Exclusion from the athletic participation for nine (9) school weeks,* completion of a current assessment for chemical dependency, and compliance with the recommendation of the assessment, or dismissal from athletic participation for one calendar year if assessment is refused. (*During current or next sport season in which the athlete participates within one calendar year. These guidelines are in addition to District Guidelines for Student Behavior) Third Consequence (for third violation during grades 9-12) Exclusion from athletic participation for one calendar year. TOBACCO PRODUCTS (USE OR POSSESSION): First Consequence Exclusion from athletic participation for a period of time to include one contest or playing date. Second Consequence (for second violation during grades 9-12) Exclusion from athletic participation for nine (9) weeks during current or next sport season in which the athlete participates within once calendar year (these guidelines are in addition to District Guidelines for Student Behavior). Third Consequence (for third violation during grades 9-12) Exclusion from athletic participation for one calendar year. SELF-REFERRAL: There may be no disciplinary consequences under this code if, prior to investigation or apprehension of an offense involving the use of tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs, an athlete voluntarily requests assistance from school officials. 12 The intent is to assist the athlete who has a long-term addiction or abuse problem. Any student who self-refers will be required to undergo and follow the recommendations of an assessment. Should a student athlete, at a later time, be found in violation of this code, he/she would face the consequences as a second violation. ILLEGAL ACTIVITY: Any illegal activity which brings discredit to the school or it’s athletic program may result in disciplinary action ranging from a reprimand to suspension for the remainder of the season, subject to administrative review. OTHER TYPES OF MISCONDUCT DURING ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION: Any of the following actions that occur while participating in an athletic program will result in discipline as determined by the coach, subject to administrative review: • Showing disrespect to officials, participants, coaches, or team members • Vulgar or profane language • Unsportsmanlike or otherwise inappropriate behavior • Fighting • Attendance at parties where drugs/alcohol are present An Athletic Code of Conduct form must be signed by students and parents on an annual basis. Their signatures verify that they have read and understand all aspects of the code. Failure to sign this document or involvement in a violation of code prior to signing does not excuse a student athlete from the imposition of consequences outlined herein. Notification will be provided for all students on an annual basis at the beginning of each school year. Signatures are required at the time a student begins participation in an individual sport. 13 RANGE OF CONSEQUENCES The following chart shows the range of discipline actions, which may be taken for each infraction. As you can see, a minimum range is listed as well as an action for first occurrences and for repeated occurrences (defined as a second or subsequent infraction). If a student has demonstrated excellent behavior and then becomes involved in an infraction, school officials may consider the student’s positive behavior record prior to taking any action. If a student’s negative behavior is directly related to an identified disability, officials will take such conditions into account. If a student has continually been involved in problem areas, then disciplinary action will probably be the maximum action listed. In the case of severe violation of rules, the disciplinary action may extend beyond these guidelines. Where student conduct results in damage to personal, private, or public property, restitution may be required.
