Policies and Procedures
Attendance
We ask that a parent calls the attendance
office before 10:30 a.m. at 220-4206 on the
first day of a student’s absence and every day
thereafter until the student returns to school. If
we do not receive a phone call, our automatic
home calling machine will call your home
stating that your child has missed one or more
classes during the day. If the absence is not
verified by a phone call, please send a note on
the day the student returns to school that
includes: reason for absence, phone number
where parent may be reached, signature of
parent/guardian, and date of the absence. The
student must take the note to the attendance
office before school.
If these absences are not cleared up by the
morning your student returns from their
absence, your student will be marked truant
and will be issued a detention.
Valid Absences include genuine illness, family
funeral, medical or dental appointments,
religious holidays and court appearances.
Students will be allowed to complete
assignments and tests administered during their
absence if their absence is valid.
After a total of 3 consecutive absences,
students will be required to bring a doctor’s
note for the 3 days missed and each
successive absence.
Attending school is one of the most important
factors for academic success. Please schedule
all doctor and dental appointments before or
after school. If this is not possible, please
make sure that your student attends as much of
the school day as possible.
Address/Phone Number Changes
In the event of an emergency, we want to
be able to contact parents. You must let the
registrar (in the main office) know if your
address or any of your phone numbers
change, or if you have additional emergency
contact individuals.
Illness/Release From School
In the event that a student becomes ill at
school, parents will be notified and requested
to pick up their child. Students who have to
leave campus during the school day or must
miss a day due to a doctor or dental
appointment must bring a note signed by the
doctor or dentist to the office when they return
to school. Students who become ill during the
day must request to go to the health office to
call home. Students may not call home on their
cell phones from school to report an illness.
We will only release a student to people listed
on your student’s attendance card with photo
identification. When a student is picked up from
school, the parent must come in to the
attendance office with a photo ID to sign their
student out. Please keep your attendance card
phone numbers and address updated so we
can reach you or someone you trust if needed.
ID Cards
Students must have their student ID card with
them at all times. If a student loses their ID card,
they may get a replacement in the main office.
Replacement cost: $5
The ID card will be used for lunch, library,
computer lab, dances, and identity. Students
MUST have their ID card to go through the
lunch line.
Bicycles/Skateboards
Bicycle and skateboard safety and security are
a problem at and near the school. Students
who ride their bicycle or skateboards to school
should have them licensed by the city, place them
in the designated area, use a heavy duty lock to
secure them and be sure to wear a helmet. It is a
law for minors to wear a helmet while riding a
bicycle or skateboard. For safety reasons,
students are not to ride their bicycle or
skateboards on campus. We do our best to
monitor bicycles in the bike rack, but keep
in mind that the school cannot guarantee
the security of the bicycles and skateboards.
Cell Phones/Electronics
Students may bring cell phones to school, but
they are to be kept in their backpack out of
sight and turned off throughout the school
day (including before school & lunchtime).
Students may use their cell phones after
school. If a parent needs to contact a student
in the case of an emergency during school
hours, they must call the main office at
(714) 220-4205 and the student will be
contacted. Students must make after school
arrangements with their family before school.
We also have an office phone that students may
use.
If a student has a phone or an electronic device
visible at school, it will be confiscated and
returned only to the parent/guardian and a
detention will be issued.
Electronic devices are
the most lost, stolen
and broken items belonging to students.
Electronic
devices,
cameras,
mp3
players, ipods are not permitted.
Orangeview Junior High School is NOT
responsible for lost, stolen or broken items.
We will NOT INVESTIGATE the theft
of
these items for students who bring these
items to school. The district will not
reimburse for lost or stolen ipods or other
electronic devices even if they are
confiscated.
Lost and Found
Lost and found items are taken to the office.
Periodically, we donate the lost and found to
local shelters. If you lose something, please be
sure to check with the office immediately.
Student Pick-Up
Students MUST be picked up from
school/leave campus no later than 2:40 p.m.
unless they are participating in a school
sponsored activity. Due to Homework Club,
tutoring, and after school classes, we will not
be able to page students to the office after
school. Please make arrangements regarding
when and where pick-up after school will take
place. Be sure to let your parent know if you
are staying after school for any reason.
Students may use the office phone to contact
their parents. Students may not return to
campus after leaving at the end of the school
day (unless they are returning for a school
sponsored evening event). Anaheim
Achieves- sign up for an
After school program
Closed Campus
Orangeview is a closed campus. This means that visitors must check in at
the main office for permission to be on school grounds and wear a visitor’s
pass. We encourage spectators for sporting competitions and school
performances. Spectators are not allowed on campus to watch practices.
ARC Academic Recovery Center Students who do not complete
homework can be assigned ARC after school. They will be released when
they are finished or up until 3:30 p.m. Students that need more help with
learning or those that score low on tests will also be re-taught during ARC.

appropriately marked with the student’s name.
Textbooks
Students are responsible for all textbooks issued to them by the school
district. Textbooks must be returned in good condition when the course is
completed or the student moves. Lost, stolen, or misplaced textbooks
must be paid for by the student. If they are later found, the replacement
cost is refunded. The average textbook costs $75.
Discipline
The Anaheim Union High School District has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy
regarding drugs, alcohol and weapons.
A pupil may be suspended from school, transferred or recommended for
expulsion if it is determined that the pupil has brought one of the following to
school: drugs or alcohol, weapons of any kind (even toys), or explosives
(fireworks). Additionally, students may be suspended from school or
recommended for expulsion if students commit sexual harassment,
harassment, assault, bullying, vandalism and/or any other Class 1
infraction listed in the AUHSD handbook.
We believe all of our students can behave appropriately at school. We will
not tolerate student behavior that interferes with teaching or learning.
Students who behave will:
Experience the satisfaction of learning
Earn teacher and administrator recognition
Qualify for opportunities for special awards
In order to guarantee you and all the students in our classrooms the
excellent learning climate they deserve, we are utilizing the following plan:
CLASS RULES:
1. Be seated in assigned area with classroom materials when the tardy
bell rings.
2. Avoid any behavior that is disruptive to classroom procedures.
3. Follow directions and cooperate.
4. Respect self and other persons and property.
If a student chooses to disrupt class by breaking a rule during the class
period they will be subject to the discipline plan process as follows:
Behavioral Incidents/Infractions:
Level 1: Breaking of classroom/school rules (i.e. gum, not
following directions) Teacher consequence parent contact.
Level 2: Behavioral Issues (i.e. disruptions, defiance, rudeness)
Level 3: Referrals (i.e. continuous unacceptable behavior OR a
grievous act)
Orangeview Junior High follows a Progressive Discipline Policy.
Consequences that may be utilized for discipline include:

Teacher phone contact and teacher assigned consequences
• Administrative contact and/or parent meeting
• Detentions
• Opportunity (time out from a class period)
• Period suspensions
• On Campus Suspensions
• Behavior contract
• Off campus suspensions
• Community service
• Possible transfer or recommendation for expulsion (if warranted)
Tardy Policy
A part of being successful at Orangeveiw Junior High is arriving at
school early. Students are expected to be in their seats by 7:50 a.m.,
but we encourage students to arrive early. Students who arrive at 7:30 a.m.
have the opportunity to prepare more effectively for school by:
• Having breakfast in the quad
• Asking teachers for help on schoolwork
• Checking out books or studying in the library
• Coming to class early and preparing for their day
• Using a computer in their favorite teacher’s classroom, if available
• Seeing their friends and socializing
• Helping or being helped by friends with school work
• Asking the Counselor questions about school and their future
• Building a successful pattern of success for high school, college and
their future career
Morning Tardies on the other hand take away from a student’s
opportunity of starting the day off on the right foot and disrupts the
learning process for other students who are in their classrooms.
Thank you for all the hard work you are doing to ensure your student arrives
at Orangeview Junior High School Early. 7:30 a.m. is a good time to start
the day at Orangeview Junior High School. Together, we can achieve more!
Students must be in their seat when the bell rings or they are
considered tardy.

STAYING CONNECTED WITH YOUR STUDENT’S EDUCATION
The Anaheim Union High School District is pleased to provide a service that will enhance school-to-home communication. The district is currently using
a student information system called Aeries. Aeries will provide you with secure access to your child's school information via the Internet. Through the
Aeries portal, you will be able to view your child's:
• Attendance and disciplinary records
• Teachers' email addresses
• Course schedules
• Grades
• Transcripts
• State test results
• Assignments
• Immunization record
Student data is updated in real time. No one can alter permanent records through this application, because the information posted is merely a copy of
the actual information. It is our sincere hope that you will find this information valuable in promoting your child's education. Please see the Aeries Parent Portal
on our school’s website to access your child’s information. Instructions on how to use Aeries Parent Portal can also be found on the district website. Orangeview
