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.

CQ:dc 5/12
DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
Disciplinary actions are taken with the aim of correcting behavior patterns. 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 studentʼs 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
CQ:dc 5/12
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.
▲ Further information on suspension, expulsion, and due process can be found on
pages 5-6. 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
CQ:dc 5/12
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:
l property under the jurisdiction of the
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.

CQ:dc 5/12
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, 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
CQ:dc 5/12
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.

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.

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

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.
