WEST HIGH SCHOOL
SENIOR BEHAVIOR AGREEMENT 2015-2016
Dear Parents of Graduating Seniors:
August 2015
We know that as parents of seniors you view your student’s senior year with mixed emotions.
You take pride in the achievements of your sons and daughters, but experience some sadness at
their transition from childhood to adulthood. We congratulate you on their success and commend you
for the support you have given and will continue to give your children.
As we begin the school year, we wish to convey the message that everyone on campus is
expected to continue to cooperate in maintaining a proper learning environment. The number one
priority at our school is to provide students with an opportunity for an education. When student
conduct is disruptive at school or any school related function, it becomes necessary to discipline the
persons involved. It is our philosophy that there must be consequences for unacceptable behavior.
Since seniors of any age remain students of this high school until they complete all graduation
activities, this letter should clarify the school’s position regarding any senior involved in breach of
discipline.
All students, including seniors, are required to continue compliance with the school’s standards
for behavior. A description of these rules and regulations was sent to all parents and guardians of
West High School students. Please see Administrative Rule 5144 and the 2015-2016 School
Standards and Discipline Procedures for a complete text. These regulations include but are not
limited to:
1) Disruption of school activities including Commencement or Grad Night
2) Causing damage to school or private property
3) Causing physical injury to another person
4) Possessing, using, selling, furnishing, under the influence of, any controlled substance,
alcoholic beverage, intoxicant of any kind or look-alike substance
5) Possessing tobacco, including e-cigarettes, on school premises or at a school activity
6) Intentionally engaging in harassment, threats, bullying or intimidation directed against a
pupil or groups of pupils.
DETACH BOTTOM PORTION AND RETURN TO STATION 1 ON AUGUST 24, 2015.
