School of Art and Science Vision
Our
vision is that all our students, regardless of background, will graduate from
The School of Arts and Science with the option of going to college and master
the skills and knowledge necessary for them to be successful. Our vision is
that by learning about the world, students will come to know themselves.
School of Art and Science Mission
To
achieve this vision, we will engage all students in developing critical
thinking and creative problem solving skills in an integrated and rigorous
college-preparatory curriculum that integrates the arts and issues of social
justice and environmental stewardship, and ultimately enable each student to
find his or her own unique paths towards becoming intelligent, self-confident,
and socially responsible individuals. Our students will have the skills and
knowledge to address the question: how will you engage the world?
Culture of Trust and
Responsibility
Much
of this handbook concerns policies and rules. At all times an attempt is made to
find a balance between the culture of trust and responsibility the school
wishes to instill and the need to be very clear in expected behaviors and
outcomes. Students will be empowered to take their education into their own
hands more than at other schools and they will also be given a greater degree
of involvement in school governance. With these privileges come greater
responsibilities.
As
educators, the staff at SAS is ultimately responsible for maintaining a
positive and safe learning environment. Student actions will determine the
level of trust the staff can have in students and the level of responsibility
that is expected.
The SAS Pledge
All students
at the School of Arts and Science are expected to be principle driven in their
behavior and daily decision making processes. Each student, within their
advisories, will participate in activities designed to build and maintain a
culture of responsibility, respect, and trust. In addition, all students are asked to pledge their
commitment to these principles.
Academic Expectations
All students
are expected to perform to their capabilities. School of Arts and Sciences is a
place that values learning above all else and expects SAS students to work to
develop themselves.
Academic Probation
Students whose
grade point average is 2.0 or below or who have one or more failing grades for
more than one semester or who are credit deficient will be placed on “Academic
Probation”. Students on Academic Probation will be monitored on a weekly
Progress Report to be turned into the Principal. Further individual interventions will be considered.
Students will be released from Academic Probation with a Semester report card
GPA of greater than 2.0 and no failing marks. Students failing to remove
themselves from Academic Probation risk losing their position at SAS.
Bus Transportation
There are no
district school buses that serve SAS.
RT buses will stop on Routier Road. For information about bus routes and fares, please call
321-BUSS. Students waiting at buss stops are to represent SAS in a respectful
and responsible manner. Students are not allowed to loiter in/on the businesses
on Routier Road.
Cafeteria
SAS
participates in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. It is very important for
the funding of the school that all students eligible for free and reduced
lunches fill out the appropriate paperwork. This paperwork will be sent home
the first week of school.
Students will
have a selection of up to eleven items to choose from each day, including a
salad bar. Offerings will include
hot entrees, salads, cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, pizza, and fruit. Ala
Carte items and milk will be available. Breakfast is also available.
Pricing: Breakfast is $1.25 and
lunch is $1.75. Students may pay in advance.
Clubs
Clubs on
campus are voluntary and will meet at lunch and after school. Students wishing
to start a club should find a teacher mentor to initiate the club.
School Lockers
SAS has
lockers for use during PE classes as well as lockers for students to store their
PE clothes in from Monday through Friday. They are school property and are
therefore liable to search by school officials. PE students are expected to
lock their belongings in the appropriate lockers. The school will take no
responsibility for items left in unlocked lockers or left out. There are no
hallway lockers. SAS will make every reasonable attempt to provide a “home
copy” book to each student for each class to eliminate transporting books to
and from school. While SAS intends to have positive, safe, and trusting school
culture, prudence suggests that students should provide a combination padlock
their locker for use during PE. A limited number of locks will be sold by the
school.
Emergency Information Cards
State laws
require that an emergency card be kept on campus at all times. In case of
emergencies, it is important that BOTH sides of the emergency card are filled
out. Emergency cards will be handed out the first week of school and may also
be obtained in the school office.
Care of Books, Supplies, and Equipment
SAS prides
itself on its culture of Trust and Responsibility. Part of this responsibility
is accountability for actions. The following policies reflect accountability
for student actions:
Books: Text books are provided without cost or
fee. Charges are made, however, for damages resulting from abuse or loss of
texts. Damages from $5.00 up will be assessed if the book is still useable. If
the book is no longer useable or lost, a charge equal to the amount of the
book, tax and shipping will be determined. Book prices range from $60.00 to
85.00. Students should write their name and their teacher’s name on the inside
covers of their books. All students and their parents are required to
read, sign and return the Textbook Authorization form which details the cost of
the books and acknowledges the responsibility for payment for lost or stolen
books.
Supplies: Special as well as occasional “loaner”
supplies are provided. Students are expected to supply traditional supplies
such as paper, pens, pencils and their own personal binder. Students may find
it convenient to purchase some supplies such as a re-writable CD to back up
their work on. If students wish to listen to sound files on their computer,
they must supply their own headphones. Its is strongly recommended that
inexpensive headphones only be brought to school. From time to time a teacher
may ask for a small, voluntary donation to offset the cost of special
materials. State law prohibits actual fees or charges for materials.

Grades
Grades are
issued four times each school year. Credits are stated at the end of each
semester. Quarter grades are “progress” grades that are not permanently
recorded. Semester grades are permanent grades that are recorded. The semester
grade is the total of the grade of the two quarters. Students are expected to pass all classes. Students who fail
any portion of a class will be required to make up their deficiency in summer
school or night school.
Notice of Impending Failure
If a student
is in danger of failing at any grading period, the teacher will issue A NOTICE
OF IMPENDING FAILURE/Progress Report no later than fifteen instructional days
before the end of that grading period. A failure to issue the notice means that
the student will receive full credit for the course, except under the
conditions established in an incomplete contract which could have failing as
the predetermined grade in case the conditions of the contract are not met by
the student.
Community College Requirements
In order to
take coursework at the community college students must have an overall GPA of
2.7 or better, be 16 years of age, take courses not offered at SAS, and be able
to pay for all texts and instructional materials. To enroll students must have
pre-approval from the counselor and the Principal as well as complete all of

Campus Rules and Policies
School of Arts
and Sciences is committed to reinventing the high school experience for
students and families. In this
spirit, our rules are stated as a series of positive expectations rather than a
list of “don’t do’s”. The exception to this is policies regarding suspension
and expulsion, and the use of technology which is required by law to
communicate in writing.
Attendance Policy
Attendance at
school is very important. One cannot do well at school if one is not attending
regularly. Attendance is especially
important at SAS, where if you are not at school your class suffers. The school
goal is 97% attendance. This allows about 7 absences per year overall. It is the responsibility of all
students who have been absent from school to obtain a readmit slip prior
to returning to class.
The Attendance Office will open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 4:00 p.m. daily. All
clearance slips must be stamped by the time clock in the Attendance Office. Securing
a readmit is not a reason for being late to class. The student may choose to go to the
Attendance Office during passing time or lunch time for pick up of Early
Dismissals. Any student who leaves campus without a valid off-campus pass
or an early dismissal will be marked truant and be subject to other consequences.
Early Dismissals
In the event
that a student must leave school during the normal school day for doctor or
dental appointments or any personal business, he or she should bring a note, or
parent/guardian should call the Attendance Office. The student will need to
obtain an early dismissal slip from the office to leave campus. Parents should be certain that their student obtains an
early dismissal before they pick the student up. When a student has knowledge of an early dismissal, he/she
must come to the Attendance Office to pick up the early dismissal slip. If a
student becomes ill during the school day, he/she should go to the Office in
order to get an early dismissal.
Ill or injured students may not go home on their own volition; to do so
would result in the student being marked truant (automatically) and may be
subject to other disciplinary action. This is a protection for the student in
case the problem is more severe than the student surmises. Students are the
responsibility of the school until such time as the parent/guardian gives
permission for dismissal.
Tardy Policy
A student
is considered tardy if the student is not in class with the proper materials
(such as books, paper, and pencils) and ready to work at the first prompting of
the teachers. A student
who is late 3 times or more per quarter (all classes inclusive) will be subject
to disciplinary action which may include but is not limited to Parent contact,
conference, and/or detention. Any work due during the time period in which the
student was not present in class may not be accepted (teacher discretion). Chronic tardiness will also activate
the SART/ SARB process.
Disciplinary Policy
Please refer to the parent student handbook.
Our general
policy is that 1) after the first offense the student is given a warning; 2)
the parent is contacted. 3) student serves detention; 4) student is referred to
the office; 5) parents, teacher, student and principal meet; 6) student is
suspended.
Possible Disciplinary Actions
At School of
Arts and Sciences students and staff elect to work through situations in ways
that teach. When the occasion
arises and student behavior does not conform to teacher expectations of the
school rules the following adult responses are likely:
§
Teacher
conference
§
Logical
consequences- including financial restitution for damages/s/ theft
§
Loss of
privileges

Sexual
harassment is defined as: “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors, and other verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature made
by someone from or in the work or educational setting.” Any student who commits
sexual harassment will be subject to suspension and even expulsion. If a
student feels he/she have been sexually harassed, he/she should see the
Principal or counselor as soon as possible.
Prohibited Illegal and Dangerous Items
(P.C. 25608,
262.9, 626.10, E.C. 48903)
Students shall
not carry with them to school any of the following: Firecrackers, explosive
devices, any size knife, metal pins, stars, baseball bats, clubs, chains,
pellet guns, nun chucks, mace, pepper spray, stun guns, or ANY item which could
be used as a weapon. Possession and/or use of any dangerous weapon or object
will result in an immediate suspension/expulsion and a citation/arrest by the
Police or Sheriff’s Department.
Gambling
Wagering,
gambling, or using gambling devices or money is prohibited. Gambling is not
allowed at any time or any place on campus. In addition to legal penalties,
students will be subject to school disciplinary procedures.
Electronic Devices
Students
are reminded that the school may confiscate any and all electronic devices
including cell phones iPods and MP3 players. The school will not be liable for an item confiscated and
kept longer than thirty (30) calendar days. Any student who wishes to recover a
confiscated item must bring a parent/guardian to the school to reclaim it. Items not recovered by the
parent/guardian within that period of time, become the property of the school.
Since we
cannot guarantee their security and because they are a distraction to the
learning environment and/or potential sources of trouble, non-essential
personal property such as MP3 PLAYERS, IPODS, RADIOS, CD PLAYERS, TELEVISION SETS, VIDEO CAMERAS, AND
WALKIE-TALKIES ARE NOT ALLOWED AT SCHOOL AND/OR SCHOOL-SPONSORED ACTIVITIES
unless cleared with the Principal.
This rule is in effect at all times when students are under school supervision
such as, but not limited to, before and after school, lunch, games,
performances, rallies, assemblies, and passing time. School authorities will confiscate electronic devices and
retain such personal property as a gratuitous deposit. Parents must pick up the
items that are confiscated within thirty (30) calendar days. They will not be
returned to the student. Please refer back to the computer usage policy regarding
electronic devices.
Cell Phone Policy:
In the 1980s
cell phones were banned from schools due to illegal drug activity in certain
areas. SAS recognizes that many parents now want their students to carry cell
phones for matters of convenience and safety. However, cell phones—like
all electronic devices-- represent a serious potential for both disruption of
the school environment and students exceeding the boundaries of the school and
parents alike. The following policy has been developed in order to facilitate
student possession of cell phones while at school:
Students may bring cell phones to school if they remain OFF
during school hours. Cell phones
are not to be out during class time. Students may
place calls at lunch.
Inappropriate use of cell phones will be handled in the following steps:
1. First Offense:
Student will be counseled by the Instructor.
2. Second Offense:
The cell phone will be confiscated and locked up for the remainder of
the day and the parent will be called. It is the student’s responsibility to
retrieve the cell phone at the end of the day.
3. Third Offense: The cell phone will be confiscated and
given to the Principal. Parents will be required to conference with the
Principal. Parents must meet with
the Principal and pick up cell phones that are confiscated within thirty (30)
calendar days. They will not be returned to the student.
4. Last Offense:
Student will no longer have the privilege of a cell phone in their
possession during the day. The student will be required to check the cell phone
in at the office during the day.
Hate Crimes
Due to the
potential seriousness of this offense and the requirements of California
Education Code 48900.3, any violation of this rule will result in suspension
and may also result in a recommendation for expulsion, restitution, and/or a
police report.
Loss of Privileges
An
administrator may determine that a student whose behavior is a liability to the
school may lose the privilege of participation in extra-curricular events.
These events may include, but are not limited to end of the year activities
including graduation.
Law Enforcement Officials
Occasionally,
law enforcement officers will come to the school to talk with a student
concerning matters that may or may not have any connection with the school. If
an officer removes a student from the school, the school will make reasonable
effort to contact the legal parent or guardian. When a law enforcement officer
interviews a student at school, a school representative will be present. The school
administration will call upon law enforcement agencies when it is deemed
necessary to maintain order and to protect the rights of all individuals.
Bicycles
Bicycles must
be parked and locked to the bike rack inside the front gate during school
hours. Unicycles are to be
considered covered by this policy and are not to be stored in class rooms.
Skate boards can be used with helmet for “freestyle” skating only during lunch
and at the discretion of teachers.
Student Parking
Students who
drive to school should register their car in the high school office. Student parking is located in parking
lot adjacent to Systems Parkway directly in front of the main entrance, on
either side of the driveway. Students are expected to drive safely at all times. Reckless driving will result in the
loss of parking privileges.
Students will not be allowed to leave the main campus to go to their car
during the regular operation hours of the school day.
Physical Education
All students
enrolled in PE are required to wear the SAS PE uniform. The uniform is a white
T Shirt and black shorts or sweats. Note: Sweats and sweatpants are
optional, but are recommended for months of colder weather.
