Students attend a 21-minute class with their advisory teacher that meets every day (except Early
Release Wednesdays) between first and second period. This advisory class is grade level specific
and allows students the opportunity to work with a class advisor for their entire four years at Fort
Bragg High School. The advisory class is a one-credit, “credit/no credit” class. Students are required
to attend class every day, and the class adheres to the same attendance policy and tardy policy as all
classes at Fort Bragg High School. (A “no credit” grade in advisory, will calculate into a student’s
grade point average as an “F.”) During this time, teachers take care of important school business
such as checking students’ attendance and grades, reviewing school policies and procedures,
conducting career planning, maintaining and updating students’ four-year plans, and discussing
upcoming class and school events. Currently, the class will hold a formal advisory period on Monday
and Wednesday each week, with Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday reserved for a tutorial/study
hall/SSR time.
Below are the teachers who assist with each class.

Attendance Policy
You have to be here!
Regular attendance at school is closely tied to student success and is required by state law.
1. ABSENCE LIMIT
Students, who accumulate more than 15 absences in a semester in one or more classes, not
counting those for school activities, will receive an “NC” or No Credit grade for that class. An
“NC” grade shall be considered an “F” grade for purposes of athletic/activities eligibility.
2. APPEAL PROCESS
An Appeals Board has been established by members of the School Leadership Team. This
group meets several times each year and reviews all information available in an effort to
consider appeals from students who have accumulated more than 15 absences and who feel
that extenuating circumstances merit a waiver of the established absence limit.
3. COMMUNICATION
a. Students will be reminded of attendance rules and consequences when they have
accumulated 3 or more absences in any class.
b. An automated message machine will call the student’s home each day if a student is
marked absent during any class.
c. When students have accumulated seven (7) absences in any class, a letter will
be sent to the student’s parents/guardians. Parents and guardians are encouraged to
monitor attendance by calling the Attendance Secretary (961-2880 ext. 3762) at any
time to check their student’s attendance and tardiness record, and/or arrange a call
from, or a meeting with, the Assistant Principal (961-2880 Ext. 3701).
d. When students have accumulated 10 absences a staff member will try to contact
parents/guardians by phone, mail, or home visit, to inform them of their student’s
attendance and to arrange a meeting with the Assistant Principal or one of the school’s
counselors to help resolve the issue.
e. After a student is absent from school, parents are asked to call or send a note within 3
days to explain any absence. When a call or note is received, an admit slip will be
issued by a front office secretary, and will be required by teachers before a student is
allowed to re-enter class. Failure to explain an absence within 3 days will result
in an absence being classified an unexcused truancy absence (i.e. cut).
8
4. FAIR, REASONABLE, USER FRIENDLY
We want our attendance policy to be “firm but fair” to safe-guard the instructional time critical
to providing excellence in education, and help students learn to plan and to accept
responsibility for their own actions.
To control their own destinies and avoid the risk of receiving a failing grade and no credit for a
course due to excessive absences, students may “buy-back” one absence by attending one
Saturday School session. To take advantage of this opportunity, students must register with
the Attendance Secretary, arrive on time for Saturday School with school work, and
constructively use the four-hour session to work on school assignments.
As noted earlier, students are limited to fifteen (15) absences. However, we have established
an Appeals Board that may be used when a student feels that his/her excessive absences were
caused by extenuating circumstances that merit a waiver of the established limit.
5. STAY INFORMED
Parents can stay informed with their student’s attendance by contacting the Attendance
Secretary, or by checking their student’s attendance record with our on-line system, ABI
(AERIES Browser Interface). At the end of the second week of school, letters will be sent
home with detailed directions on how to access our on-line system to check student
attendance and grades. Parents will need their student’s identification number and a
verification code. Both of these numbers are necessary if parents choose to use the on-line
system. Feel free to contact the Attendance Secretary if you need your student’s information
earlier.

code that prohibits students from wearing gang-related apparel when there is evidence of a gang presence that
disrupts or threatens to disrupt the school’s activities…Because gang-related symbols are constantly changing,
definitions of gang-related apparel shall be reviewed by administration and updated whenever related
information is received.
Education Code 35294.1: “Gang-related apparel” shall be defined as apparel that reasonably could
be determined to threaten the health and safety of the school environment if it were worn or displayed
on a school campus.

**NEWS FLASH**
YOU HAVE TO BE ON-TIME!
Arriving on time to class is not only a matter of courtesy; it is part of responsible school behavior.
Because students who are tardy are so disruptive to a positive learning environment, excessive
tardiness is dealt with as a disciplinary issue. The policy is as follows:




When a student accumulates three (3) tardies in any class, the teacher writes a Behavior
Referral and the student receives an administrative detention (45 minutes after school study
time). (Times and location TBA)
A Behavior Referral and an administrative detention will be assigned at teacher discretion
beyond the third tardy.
Saturday School may be assigned after the 5th tardy.
Students may be suspended after the 7th tardy.
Failure to serve an assigned detention will result in Saturday School. Failure to serve an assigned
Saturday School will result in a one-day suspension from school (this day counts toward the student’s
absence total).
WHEN CAN I USE THE LIBRARY OR COMPUTER LAB?
The school library is open Monday through Friday. The computer lab will continue to be available
Monday through Friday. When open, the computer lab and library will be available before school,
during lunch, at morning breaks and after school for student use. Students must abide by all library
and computer lab guidelines when using these facilities. Students are responsible for all library
materials they check out or use.
INDEPENDENT STUDY - WHAT’S THAT?
Fort Bragg High School offers two types of Independent Study for students whose needs require such
programs. These programs are as follows:
Short Term Independent Study:
Students whose parents require that they be absent from school for a period of five days or more may
request a Short Term Independent Study contract from the Independent Study office in room F110.
The Independent Study secretary is available each morning until 11:30 a.m. The request must be
made at least one week (5 school days) prior to the absence.
Independent Study Program (ISP):
FBHS offers full time Independent Study as a form of Alternative Education for a limited number of
students. FBHS full-time Independent Study Program offers the same privileges and graduation
requirements as the “regular” campus program. ISP students who meet these requirements receive
an FBHS diploma and may participate in the graduation ceremony. Grade point averages and class
rank for full-time ISP students are included with all students at the same grade level. Juniors and
Seniors must be on track to graduate to apply to ISP. Applicants’ reading comprehension should be
at or very near grade level. Admission is based on space available, the completion of the application
process, and a referral from the counseling office. Applications for ISP are available in the counseling
office.
11
WHEN I’M ABSENT, WHAT WORK AM I ALLOWED TO MAKE-UP?
EXCUSED ABSENCES
Class work missed during an excused absence MAY BE MADE-UP for full academic credit. Such
work must be completed and submitted – except under extenuating circumstances – within the same
number of days missed. (i.e. a student absent 2 days would have 2 additional days to complete
make-up assignments). Excused absences include the following:
 Illness (doctor’s certification is required on the 4th day absent).
 Medical or dental appointment.
 Funeral (for immediate family members only).
 Court appearance (documented with subpoena or Notice to Appear).
 Religious holiday or retreat (not to exceed 4 hours per semester).
 Pre-arranged contract (Independent Study is an excused absence if all work is completed
satisfactorily and on time).
 Suspension from school for violations of the Discipline Code.
**Note: These excused absences, except satisfactorily completed Independent Study absences, will count toward
a student’s absence total.
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES
Class work missed during an unexcused absence may AT THE TEACHER’S DISCRETION be made
up for full or partial academic credit. Same time limits as for excused absences. Unexcused absences
include the following:
 Absences that are credible (i.e. infrequent, plausible, etc), approved by parent or guardian, and
explained in a note or by a phone call of explanation (e.g. oversleeping, missing ride, car
trouble, visiting family friends, shopping, studying, caring for family members, family vacation)
within three days.
 A teacher has the right to not accept missing work from an unexcused absence.
TRUANCY ABSENCES
Class work missed during a truancy absence MAY NOT BE MADE-UP.
Truancy means any of the following:
 “Cutting” (absence without permission from parent/guardian)
 Leaving class without permission
 Arriving to class more than ten minutes late: Truancy is a disciplinary issue, and, as such,
may result in Saturday School and/or suspension.
 Unclear absences (no note within 3 days or cleared with a forget note)
 Failure to sign out of school before leaving campus
EXTENDED ABSENCES (Due to illness, temporary disability, etc.)
Parents may request homework at the front office after their student has been absent for three (3)
days or more. If a student must miss two weeks or more due to illness or disability that is verified by a
physician, a request can be made in the counseling office for teaching services in the home for up to
5 hours per week.
But I’m 18…
All students must bring notes from parents or guardians to excuse an absence. If students are 18
and extenuating circumstances exist, with administrative approval permission may be granted for
students to write their own absence notes.

DETENTION and SATURDAY SCHOOL
Students who engage in inappropriate behavior (tardies, truancy, or other behavior referrals) may be
assigned to serve after school detention and/or Saturday School. Failure to serve detention will result
in Saturday School. Students must come to both detention and Saturday School prepared with class
work or reading material. Detention will be held Tuesday’s and Thursday’s after school. Saturday
School hours are 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM. Failure to attend Saturday School may result in suspension.
INTERNET USE
Students are afforded access to people and educational information from all over the world via our
Internet system. FBHS recognizes that it is impossible to control all materials obtainable from the
Internet and that an industrious user may discover controversial information. FBHS believes that the
value of information and interaction available on the worldwide network far outweighs the possibility
that users may procure information inconsistent with the educational goals of the district and the
school. Every attempt is made to ensure acceptable use of the Internet. Students and parents are
asked to review FBUSD's Handbook of Network Use and to sign the "FBUSD Electronic Information
Resource User Contract" in order to be able to use school computers to access the Internet.

Fort Bragg Unified School District does not provide accident insurance for students. If parents wish to
protect their son/daughter from accidents which might occur at school they may purchase insurance.
Additionally, California law prescribes that students participating in interscholastic sports must carry a
minimum of $1500 accident/health insurance and a minimum of $1500 personal life insurance.
Supplying and verifying coverage is a parental, not a school, responsibility. Information about low
cost insurance and the necessary forms to obtain it and/or to document the existence of personal
insurance are available in the main office.
CIVIL RIGHTS STATEMENT
Fort Bragg Unified School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, age or handicap in its educational programs or activities as required by federal law. The
lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in educational
programs and/or activities. Students, parents or others who wish further information about these
regulations, handicapped access of vocational facilities or wish to file a complaint, should contact:
Title IX Coordinator, Fort Bragg Unified School District, 312 S. Lincoln Street, Fort Bragg, CA 95437,

What else do you do in the Main Office?
LOST AND FOUND
Found personal property is stored in the main office to be described and claimed by the owner. The school will not be
responsible for any personal property that is lost or left at school or on school buses.
WORK PERMITS
st
Applications for work permits are available in the main office. Work permits expire on September 1 of each calendar
year and must be renewed in the front office. To qualify for a work permit and to retain a work permit, students must
maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average and attend school on a regular basis or the work permit may be revoked.
MESSAGES
Messages that are of an emergency nature from parents/guardians may be sent to students through the main office.
Birthday greetings, lunches, last night's homework, flowers, balloons, gifts, and other such items are considered
detractors from instructional time. Such deliveries, if made at school, will be held in the office where they may be picked
up by the student after school, or at lunch time if they are to be taken home or to a student's vehicle.
LEAVING CAMPUS
FBHS is a closed campus except during lunch time. When a student must leave campus for any reason except at lunch or
under the supervision of a teacher, he/she must present parent permission and sign out in the main office prior to leaving
school. Failure to sign out when leaving school results in an unexcused absence. The governing board of the Fort Bragg
School District, pursuant to Section 44808.5 of the Education Code, has decided to permit the pupils enrolled at Fort
Bragg High School to leave the school grounds during the lunch period. Neither the school district nor any officer or
employee thereof shall be liable for the conduct or safety of any pupil during such time as the pupil has left the school
grounds pursuant to this section.
STUDENT CHARGES
Charges for lost books, supplies, athletic equipment, etc., must be cleared by the end of the school year. Students will not
be allowed to participate in athletics, student council, or any other school activity until these obligations are met. This
includes the graduation ceremony.
16
WELCOME
The counseling office is open from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM for your needs. If you would like to see a
counselor, you can sign up for an appointment or in an emergency, see someone immediately.
The counseling office secretary can answer many questions, hand-out forms, and deal with many
student needs.
PERSONAL OR ACADEMIC PROBLEMS
Counselors are available to help students deal with personal or academic problems they might
have. Many support services are available to help students cope with problems.
CHECK OUT OF SCHOOL (Transfer to another school)
Students checking out of school should have a parent come to the Counseling Office to sign the
withdrawal forms stating the reason for leaving and the name of the new school the student will
be attending. All textbooks must be returned and bills paid prior to checking out of school.
TRANSCRIPTS
Requests for copies of official transcripts are made in the Counseling Office.
SCHOLARSHIP & COLLEGE INFORMATION
Applications for local and regional scholarships are available online in the “Senior Central”
section on our webpage, or you can visit the Counseling Office if you have questions. If you are
looking for information on colleges, you can make an appointment with a counselor and he/she
will help you find the information online.
COLLEGE TESTING
Applications for the SAT and ACT tests are available in the Counseling Office. There is also a
supply of preparation materials that can be borrowed by students to help prepare for these tests.
Students should listen carefully to the daily bulletin for testing information. *See page 16 for
SAT/ACT dates.
ARMED SERVICES INFORMATION
Armed Services recruiters are on campus occasionally. Appointments to see them may be made
in the Counseling Office.
MEDICAL SERVICES
 A part-time Health Aide administers minor first aid and may check on medical problems and
concerns.
 Students may not have prescription medication at school without a form completed by their
physician. See the Health Aide for necessary paperwork.
 No student may come to the Nurse’s Office without a pass from his/her teacher. A student
who does not feel well may spend one period in the Nurse’s Office. At the end of one
period, the student must either return to class or go home for the remainder of the day.
 Any student who is ill and wants to go home, should come to the Nurse’s Office/Counseling
Office in order to call his/her parent/guardian.
Time spent in the nurse’s office is considered an absence from class.
17
CLASSES & CLASS CHANGES
All FBHS students are required to enroll in six classes. Program changes need to be initiated
during the first week of school. After the first week the only new request for changes normally
approved are teacher recommended changes within a department i.e. Geometry to Algebra. If
approved, the student's grade may be transferred to the new class.
Any other program change beyond the first week of each semester will be considered "exceptional"
and will require counseling department and/or administrative approval. To be considered for an
"exceptional" program change, the student must complete a "Student Petition to Change a Class."
If this petition is approved, grades and credits will be recorded as follows:
1. For an exceptional change made outside of a subject area during the 2nd - 9th week of a
semester, the grade of the dropped course will not be recorded. Students will have the
opportunity to earn only partial credit in the new class added.
2. For an exceptional change approved after the 9th week of the semester, the grade for the
course dropped will be recorded as a PERMANENT SEMESTER GRADE and will be based on work
for the entire semester. Students will have the opportunity to earn only partial credit for the
new class added.
The following regulations will be taken into account when considering requests to schedule
and/or change classes:
1. No student or parent-initiated transfers will be made into a class that is larger than the class
in which the student is currently enrolled.
2. No student may have two aide classes (teacher aide, office aide, library aide, or counseling
aide).
3. A student must have four district classes before he/she may enroll in an ROP class, the
Mendocino College class taught on FBHS campus, or a Credit Retrieval class.
4. No student will be enrolled in a credit recovery class if he/she was unsuccessful in completing
credits in a previous semester.
(A more comprehensive list of policies regarding FBHS classes and programs can be found on the counseling office web
page under “FBHS Course Terms & Conditions.”)
Credit & “No Credit” & Reclassification of Students
The major effect on students who receive “NC” (No Credit) grade for excessive absences or an “F”
grade for lack of minimum academic achievement is that students will have to repeat required
courses.
18
220 credits must be earned to receive an FBHS diploma. On a six-period day schedule students who
pass all classes will earn 30 credits per semester (60 credits per year). If a student earns more
than four failing semester grades in all four years, he/she must make-up credits outside of the
regular school day. This can be done by attending a summer school program; taking classes
through the Migrant Education PASS program if eligible; taking on-line courses; and/or taking
classes through ASSETs or Cyber High.
Reclassification of Student Grade Level
Students must earn high school credits to advance to the next grade level. Below is the credit
classification for each grade level:
Freshman:
Sophomore:
Junior:
Senior:
0 – 49 credits
50 – 99 credits
100 – 149 credits
150 or more credits
Progress towards graduation is also used to determine extra-curricular and athletic eligibility.
(See pages 35-44 for a full description.)
GRADING
The school year is divided into two semesters. The fall semester is divided into two five-week
grading periods and one six-week grading period. The spring semester is divided into three sevenweek grading periods. Grades are issued at the end of each period. Credits and final grades are

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR PARENTS
What is the SMARTER BALANCE testing?
With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards, California, along with the majority of states in our country, has
adopted a standardized testing system to monitor the administration of the Common Core Standards.
Who must take the Smarter Balance tests?
All students in grades 3-8, 10, and 11 must take the designated Smarter Balance tests. All Smarter Balance tests are
administered in an on-line format through our computer lab. Students learning English and students in special education
programs are included. Only students whose Individual Education Plans (IEP) specifically exempt them from state testing and
students with written parent requests to exempt them do not take the Smarter Balance tests. These requests should be
submitted to the principal by January 2017.
Who will take the Smarter Balance Tests in 2017?
 All students in grades 3-8, and 11 take English-Language Arts Tests (reading, writing, and a performance test).
 All students in grades 3-8, and 11 take Mathematics Standards Tests (written and performance test).

All students in grade 10 take a life science test.
Who will take the SABE/2 in 2016-17?
In addition to taking the designated Smarter Balance tests in English, limited English-proficient Spanish-speaking students
who have been enrolled in California public schools less than 12 months must take the SABE/2.
Who gives the Smarter Balance tests, and how long do they take?
The Smarter Balance tests are administered during two weeks between the March and the middle of May. The examinations
are administered by content specific instructors. It takes 7 to 8 hours to complete the all the tests. The SABE/2 adds about 4
hours for limited English-proficient students.
What if parents do not want their student tested?
According to Education Code section 60615, parents or guardians can submit a written request to the principal if they do not
wish to have their student take any or all parts of the Smarter Balance tests. Written requests from parents or guardians
received before the start of testing will be honored.
How and when will parents get their student's test results?
Each student's test results must be reported to parents within 20 working days after the school district receives them. In most
cases these reports will be mailed home.
California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE)
The California High School Proficiency Examination (CHSPE) is a testing program establi shed by California
law (Education Code Section 48412). If eligible to take the test, you can earn the legal equivalent of a high school
diploma by passing the CHSPE. The CHSPE consists of two sections: an English -language Arts section and a
Mathematics section. If you pass both sections of the CHSPE, the California State Board of Education will award you
a Certificate of Proficiency, which by state law is equivalent to a high school diploma (although not equivalent to
completing all coursework required for regular graduation from high school). All persons and institutions subject to
California law that require a high school diploma for any purpose must accept the certificate as satisfying the
requirement.
Passing the CHSPE does not, by itself, exempt minors from attending school. Minors who have a Certificate
of Proficiency must also have verified parent/guardian permission to stop attending school. Many students who
pass the CHSPE continue to attend school. State law provides that, if you leave school after passing the CHSPE and
are no more than 18 years old, you may reenroll in the district in which you were registered with no adverse
consequences. If you do reenroll you may be required to meet new or additional requirements established since
you were previously enrolled. If you reenroll and then leave school again, you may be denied re -admittance until
the beginning of the following semester. Contact your guidance counselor or school administrator for further
information and details about leaving school after passing the CHSPE. For more information on the CHSPE, visit
their website at www.chspe.net.
21
DANCES
YES, THERE ARE DANCE RULES.
Dances are held each year, and students who attend are expected to follow the rules adopted by the
ASB and the FBHS discipline and activity codes. In brief, those who leave before the end of the
dance will not be re-admitted; the door will be closed one hour after the dance begins; students under
the influence of drugs or alcohol will be dealt with by local law enforcement officers and suspended
from school in accordance with the FBHS discipline policy. Their parents will be notified and they will
not be allowed to attend another dance during the school year. Students may request to bring a
guest. The deadline to turn in a guest pass is the Wednesday before the dance. Students requesting
guest passes are responsible for the behavior of their guest and need to obtain administrator’s
approval prior to the dance.
OFF LIMITS
Fort Bragg High School is a closed campus except during lunch. Break is NOT open campus.
Students are NOT to congregate in the following areas:
 Chestnut Street south of school.
 Dana Gray and Noyo High School fields and sidewalk in front of that school.
 Wooded area north of parking lot.
 Behind the baseball field and ROP buildings.
HOMEWORK REQUEST
When a student is absent 3 or more days, the student or his/her parents/guardians may request
homework assignments on the third day and pick up homework in the front office after 3:00 P.M. on
that day. If the student has access to the internet, they may visit the school website at
www.fbusd.us, and then select “Fort Bragg High.”
CARS ON CAMPUS
If you bring a car to school, the speed limit on campus is 10 mph. Students are required to obey all
California traffic laws; failure to do so may result in a referral to the police and/or a denial of the
privilege of bringing a vehicle on campus.
PHYSICALS
In addition to requiring parental consent and the necessary insurance coverage, FBHS athletes must
also provide evidence of having “passed” a physical examination. Low cost physical exams arranged
by the school (or your own physician at your own expense) are verified by the physician’s signature
and license number on Health forms available in the main office or from the coach.
22
WOLF DEN
The Wolf Den sells school supplies and spirit items. Check out the new selection of hats, jackets,
shirts and other Wolf Den spirit items on display in the front office.
ATHLETIC P.E.
10TH and 11TH graders who have successfully passed the 9th grade physical fitness test, who need
Physical Education credits to graduate, and who are scheduled into six other classes, may enroll in
Athletic PE and earn five (5) credits of non-grade PE (“Credit” or “No Credit”) for each successfully
completed sports season.
AWARDS & RECOGNITION
Every month each teacher may choose up to two students to recognize for the “Student of the Month”
award. The principal and assistant principal present each month’s honorees with a certificate and
Wolf Pack bracelet. Students earning three “Student of the Month” awards in one school year are
awarded a Wolf Pack pin in addition to the bracelet. In addition to the monthly awards, the FBHS
faculty honors the most outstanding students of the year in the annual FBHS Awards Night. This
event is held in the Dana Gray multipurpose room in May. Be sure to check the FBHS website for the
specific day and time.
WHAT ABOUT MY TEXTBOOKS?
Each classroom teacher will issue textbooks to students at the beginning of the school year or
semester. Each student is responsible for all textbooks issued to him/her.
 Any damages or losses will be charged to the student.
 Students are responsible for returning textbooks to the library prior to their final exams.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEXTBOOKS! THEY ARE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE!
23
 Monitor your student’s attendance and tardy pattern. See Attendance Policy.
 Please be aware that the school strictly enforces a 45 day school activity suspension as part
of the consequences for student use or possession of drugs or alcohol. The graduation
ceremony is a school activity. See the letter about the 45 day activity suspension rule in the
back of this handbook.
 Encourage your student to develop good study skills and regular study habits. Students who
do regular homework and/or read each evening are those students most likely to do well in
high school.
 Encourage your son/daughter to become involved with a sport or a school club (or both).
Students who are "connected" to the school through sports and/or school activities tend to
succeed academically.
 Remind your student that regular attendance and punctuality are extremely important.
Tardiness and truancy negatively impact students' grades.
 Please remind your student to carry his/her backpack properly, using both shoulder straps,
to avoid any physical injury.
 Remind your student that state law requires school staff to recommend for expulsion any
student in possession of any knife (even a regular pocket knife) at school.
 If you have questions about bus schedules, you may call the bus garage at 961-2888.
 If you would like to schedule a parent-teacher conference, you may make arrangements by
calling the counseling office at 961-2880, or by directly contacting teachers via e-mail or
voice mail numbers listed at the back of this handbook.
 Please plan to attend parent conferences with your student's teachers on September
22ND from 4:00 to 7:00 P.M. in the gym.
24
Many parent groups help make FBHS "all that it can be". They welcome new members. If you'd like to get
involved or provide your input, here are the groups and the contact persons:
TIMBERWOLF BOOSTERS
Contact Tracy Perryman at the middle school (extension 3657).
BAND BOOSTERS
Contact Mr. Prichard at the high school (extension 3738).
CHORAL BOOSTERS
Contact Mrs. Windsor at the high school (extension 3756).
SITE COUNCIL
Site Council meets four times during the school year in the FBHS Conference
Room at 3:30. All meeting dates are included on the “Dates To Remember”
page in this handbook. Parents, staff, and students monitor program and
categorical budget. Contact Bruce Triplett, Principal, at 961-2880 for more
information.
HEALTH
Not Feeling Well?
In order to provide the healthiest possible environment for all students and staff at our school, we will
use the following guidelines for sending all ill students home from school. Ill students, except in cases
of extreme emergency, may not remain at school for more than one period. Please use the same
guidelines when deciding if your student should stay home from school.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Fever of 99.6 degrees or more.
Nausea and/or vomiting within the last 24 hours.
Diarrhea or abdominal cramps within the last 24 hours.
Head or body lice or nits.
Any contagious disease (such as chicken pox, measles, pink-eye, etc.)
Any serious injury.
If your student becomes ill at school, we will attempt to notify you. If you cannot be reached, we will
attempt to notify one of the other people listed on your child`s emergency card. It is extremely
important that the information on the emergency card be kept up-to-date. Transportation home is the
responsibility of the parent or caretaker, not the school.
If your student has been ill, please be sure that she/he has completely recovered before returning to
school. In the case of serious illness or injury, the school may require information from your medical
care provider. The California State Department of Education requires that we verify the reason for a
student`s absence. Please send an explanatory note to school with your student within three days of
any absence.
We appreciate parent cooperation with the above as we try to keep school a healthy place for all.
25
Have a Concern???
Your school staff works hard to “team” with parents in order to provide a safe, positive, and effective learning
environment. They are generally successful in doing so. Occasionally, however, there are mix-ups, mistakes,
inappropriate behaviors, or miscommunications that cause concerns which need to be discussed and resolved.
In recognition of this need FBHS has developed the “Informal Concern Resolution Procedure” below. We hope
it will help should you ever have a concern about any aspect of your son/daughter’s educational experience at
FBHS.
Step One
The concerned party shares and attempts to resolve his/her concern with the staff member responsible for the
setting and/or situation that generated the issue.
Step Two
If the concern is not resolved in Step One (or there is good reason not to attempt to resolve the issue directly
with the staff member involved), the concerned party may contact a school administrator to express the concern.
The administrator will check to see if the concerned individual has attempted to personally resolve the problem
with the staff member directly involved. If not, s/he will be encouraged to do so. If the concerned party is not
able to resolve the issue satisfactorily with the staff member involved, the administrator will listen to the
concern and suggest the most appropriate way to resolve it. Every attempt will be made to resolve each concern
quickly and at the point closest to its origin.
Step Three
If the concern remains, the principal will review actions taken in Step Two and summarize them in writing.
He/she may recommend that the concerned party accept the help of either a school counselor or the assistant
principal, or the principal may recommend that the concerned party take Step Four.
Step Four
In the event that the concern remains unresolved at this stage the principal will forward the written statement of
the problem to inform the individuals that it is their right to pursue the concern via the district’s “Formal
Complaint Procedure.” A copy of the district complaint form may be downloaded from the “Forms” page on the
FBHS website.
26
FBHS uses a Discipline Code as a guide to deal with inappropriate student behavior. It is based on
provisions governing student conduct found in the California Education Code, the California
Administrative Code, Title 5 and the policies and procedures of the Fort Bragg Unified School District.
It is the responsibility of the student to follow school policies during the following times indicated in
Section 48900 of the California Educated Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
While on school grounds.
While going to or coming from school.
During the lunch period whether on or off the campus.
During, or while going to or coming from, a school sponsored activity.
The school’s Discipline code is an extension of Section 300 of the California Administrative Code,
Title 5, which states:
“Every pupil shall attend school punctually and regularly; conform to the regulations of the school;
obey promptly all the directions of his/her teacher and others in authority; observe good order and
propriety of deportment; be diligent in study; respectful of his/her teachers and others in authority;
kind and courteous to other students; and refrain from the use of profane and vulgar language.”
The following are elements of the school Discipline Code:






STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES…The Basics
Be on time to each class; be prepared to work; bring required materials and assignments to
class.
Explain any absences from class or school activity to his/her parents.
Know and obey school rules and follow directions and requests of school personnel.
Be courteous and respectful to the staff, other students, and the public in general.
Behave in such a way that it does not disrupt the learning of others.
Respect public and personal property.
FIGHTING
Fighting is not acceptable behavior either on school grounds, or on the way to and from the campus.
If you are involved in an altercation, you will be subject to suspension and either a police report or
citation. If you have problems getting along with another student, counselors, administrators and
other staff are available to help you avoid a fight. **Students who are involved in two or more fights
within the same calendar year may be subject to expulsion or to an administrative transfer to
Lighthouse Community Day School.
THREATS
Threatening physical assault, or making statements or acts directed at another student that causes
that person to be fearful of his/her personal well-being is prohibited. Violations may result in
suspension and/or possible police report or citation.
27
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Students involved in extracurricular activities that represent the school, both on and off the campus,
must behave in an appropriate manner. Infractions of school rules may result in the temporary or
permanent loss of the right to participate in school activities.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, DRUG PARAPHERNALIA
The use, possession, or sale of alcohol, drugs, narcotics, drug paraphernalia, and other illegal
substances and equipment is prohibited. First violations will include parental notification, suspension,
involvement of the police, referral to counseling services, and may include a recommendation for
expulsion. **Students who are involved in two or more drug or alcohol offenses within the same
calendar year may be subject to expulsion or to an administrative transfer to Lighthouse Community
Day School. For more information please see the Athletics/Activity Code and the FBHS Disciplinary
Code.
TOBACCO
The possession or use of tobacco in any form is not permitted at any time during school hours. First
violations will result in a one day suspension and parent notification. Subsequent violations will result
in additional suspension and a required parent conference.
DISRUPTION OF LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Disorderly conduct, rude behavior, profanity or obscene gestures will not be tolerated.
HARRASMENT
Students are expected to refrain from conducting themselves in a manner that endangers the welfare,
self-esteem or well-being of others. Sexual or racial comments, threatening statements, intimidation,
extortion, coercion and verbal abuse are not allowed and will result in serious disciplinary action.
POSSESSION OF WEAPONS OR DANGEROUS OBJECTS
Students are not allowed to possess weapons or dangerous objects on school property or at schoolsponsored events. Possession will result in severe consequences, including referral to the police and
being expelled from school. State law requires that any student possessing a knife, even a pocket
knife, must be recommended for expulsion unless a school administrator determines that “expulsion
is inappropriate due to the particular circumstances.” Possession of laser lights is also prohibited by
law.
DISPLAY OF AFFECTION
Students are expected to act within the boundaries of good taste while on campus or on school
buses. Prolonged embracing or kissing and other forms of personal affection are not acceptable at
school. Students will be warned of unacceptable behavior when noticed by a staff member or
administrator. Continued demonstration of this type of behavior will be considered defiance of
authority and will be referred to an administrator.
28
CELL PHONES / CD PLAYERS / iPODS / MP3 PLAYERS / OTHER ELECTRONICS
CD players, iPods, MP3 players, and other electronic devices may only be used during break and
lunch. These devices will be confiscated if used during class time or during the passing periods. All
confiscated items will be returned to parents only.
Cell phones have caused such a disruption during class time that we have significantly revised our
policy on their use during school time. Once the bell rings to start school, cell phones may be used
only at break and at lunch. Phones are to be turned off and not to be taken out or used in any way
during class time or passing time between classes. Phones used outside the prescribed times will be
confiscated.
All confiscated electronic devices will be returned to parents only. If the parent is unable to retrieve
their student’s device, they may call the front office and send an adult designee on their behalf.
Any violation of use of electronics on campus will result in the following consequences:




1st offense = warning
2nd offense = detention
3rd offense = Saturday School
4th offense = suspension
PLAGIARISM/CHEATING
Plagiarism and cheating are serious and inappropriate behaviors. They result in “No Credit” for the
assignments/exams involved and may result in disciplinary action with the Vice Principal. Plagiarism
and cheating may adversely affect grades and graduation. Continued plagiarism/cheating will result
in an “F” grade for the class and possible suspension from school.

Backpack Safety
“Basic Backpack Safety” will be a required part of FBHS Physical Education class content.
Parents are asked to help ensure backpack safety by following the easy step-by-step
process below:
Get out the scale: Weigh your students’ backpacks when full. Then, weigh your students. The
backpacks shouldn’t weigh more than 20 percent of their body weight.
Lighten up: Do your students carry a lot of unnecessary “stuff” in their backpacks? Check to see
what really must go to school each day.
A place for everything: Show your students how to load their backpacks so that the heaviest
items (books, notebooks) are next to their backs, with lighter things farther out.
Buckle up: Get your students backpacks with hip straps that connect in front like a belt. Have your
students use the hip strap for additional support whenever they’re carrying heavy loads.
A “cush” solution: Look for backpacks that have wide, padded straps to help keep them from
digging into your student’s shoulders. Some packs even come with padded backs.
Rolling along: Older students (the ones who need them the most) might balk at the idea, but
backpacks with wheels are back-savers.
Two arms are better than one: While it may look “cool” to sling a backpack over one shoulder,
it’s a serious mistake when the pack is heavy. Instruct your students to always use both straps.
Make it fit: The bottom of the backpack should rest two inches above your student’s waist. Adjust
the shoulder straps accordingly.
Lift Correctly: Teach your students how to lift with their knees, not with their backs, when lifting
heavy loads…backpacks included.
“And one, and two…..” Exercise can help your student’s condition and strengthen back muscles.
Ask the P.E. teacher to suggest some good exercises.
Carpool: On days when your students have particularly brutal loads, try to drive them to school or
help them find a ride to the bus stop. The less time they spend hauling that weight around, the
better.
If, after parents have implemented the “Backpack Basics” plan above, concerns remain, parents are
encouraged to contact school site administrators who will make every effort to accommodate the
unique needs of their student(s).

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The ASB Executive Council is composed of elected student body officers, the President and Vice President of each
class and appointed positions. Elections for the ASB Executive Council and class officers are held in the spring.
The goal of student government is to give students practical experience as participants in a representative form of
government, the opportunity to develop leadership skills, and the satisfaction of doing community service.

Clubs and Activities
Fort Bragg High School offers a wide variety of clubs and activities which play an important
part in maintaining school spirit. We encourage students to get involved in athletics and other
activities to enrich their educational experience at FBHS.
Eligibility for activities at FBHS
To be eligible for participation in extra-curricular activities, students must maintain positive
academic and citizenship records. Please review the FBHS Extra-Curricular Activities/Athletic
Code at the back of this handbook for full details.
Academic eligibility, in brief, requires that the student has earned a minimum 2.0 ("C")
grade point average during the preceding grading period, with no more than one "F" or one "NC"
grade. (Advisory is included in determining eligibility.)
Citizenship eligibility requires that students behave appropriately (i.e. that students not
disrupt a positive school environment in significant ways). Referrals for inappropriate behavior may
result in students being restricted from participation in athletics and other school activities. Again,
please see the FBHS Extra-Curricular Activities/Athletic Code at the back of this handbook.

FORT BRAGG HIGH SCHOOL
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES/ATHLETIC CODE
INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
In conjunction with their academic courses of study, Fort Bragg High School students are encouraged to pursue their extra-curricular
interests and participate in the activities and athletic programs available to them. Participation in these programs is a privilege, which
carries with it certain responsibilities. An athletic/activity participant at FBHS is expected to represent high standards and that the
Activities/Athletics Code will apply to all participants in our district during the school year. We are concerned with maintaining
PRIDE in our programs and we believe that academic achievement, outstanding physical condition, and high moral standards should
be top goals for all participants in activities and athletics.
Participants are defined as any students actively participating on any recognized interscholastic athletic team, including managers and
statisticians, or members of any student organization or club recognized by the Associated Student Body, or as student
representatives in any capacity (i.e. to the Board of Trustees, Site Council, etc.). Activities include all athletic, musical, dramatic
events, as well as fieldtrips, dances, and the end-of-the-year graduation ceremony.
This code is designed to promote the ideals of sportsmanship and pride in representing the school and to ensure acceptable standards
of participation at all athletic events and school related activities. It applies to all student participants from the date of first entering
high school through the graduation ceremony.
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
Athletics and extra-curricular programs are administered by the Athletic/Activity Director, the Athletic/Activities Council, and FBHS
administration.
ATHLETIC/ACTIVITY COUNCIL:
1.
2.
3.
The Athletic/Activity Council consists of at least one parent, in addition to the Athletic/Activity Director (who serves as
chairperson), and other members who are employees of the FBUSD.
The prime function of the council is:
a.
to enforce the rules of the CIF (California Interscholastic Federation).
b.
to enforce the rules of the North Coast Section and the Coastal Mountain Conference.
c.
to maintain and enforce the FBHS Activities/Athletic Code.
d.
to serve as an appeal body.
The Athletic/Activity Council meets prior to each school year (and, for athletics, prior to each athletic season) and, if needed,
prior to the conclusion of the school year for the purpose of reviewing and clarifying existing policies.
ELIGIBILITY
Athletes, club officers, ASB members, and other school representatives (i.e. student rep to Leadership Team) must meet eligibility
requirements as delineated below. In addition, there may be specific performance standards and/or local, regional, or state
organizational requirements which apply to a particular activity or sport (i.e. behavioral eligibility requirements must be met before a
student is allowed to attend dances).
RESIDENTIAL ELIGIBILITY:
1.
Athletes, club officers, ASB and other student representatives must be residents of the Fort Bragg Unified School District or
have on file, with the Assistant Principal, a school board approved inter-district Attendance Agreement, or notarized
statement of guardianship for educational purposes signed by the parent and naming a FBUSD resident to act on his/her
behalf.
2.
Additional CIF residential requirements specific to grade level, legal residence, and transfer status also apply to student
athletics. Questions regarding athletic eligibility should be referred to the athletic director or the principal.
35
ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY:
1.
Academic eligibility applies to athletes, club officers, and all student representatives of the school.
2.
Incoming freshmen must have a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher in the prior grading period. All other students,
including transfer students, must maintain a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher and receive no more than 1 “F/NC” (i.e.
Fail or No Credit) grade in the previous grading period.
3.
Students must be enrolled in at least 6 classes each grading period.
4.
It is the student’s responsibility to make up all school work missed due to participation in activities/athletics.
5.
Although designated as “club” activities, certain band and choir events are integral, required aspects of the courses in which
students are enrolled. The 2.0/1 ‘F’ academic eligibility requirement, therefore, shall not prevent such students from
participating outside of school time. However, fieldtrips and other day activities for which students are seeking release from
other classes will be subject to prior teacher approval by each affected teacher.
6.
Should an athlete go academically ineligible prior to the start of a season he/she may have, at the discretion of the coach, the
opportunity to try out for a sport, though he/she may not compete until academic eligibility has been established.
6a. Should an athlete go academically ineligible during the sport in which he/she is competing, he/she will still be able to
continue to practice (but not compete) as long as when the suspension is lifted there is at least one contest remaining in the
regular season.
BEHAVIORAL ELIGIBILITY:
1.
Students are expected to respect themselves, respect others, respect property, and to generally behave in ways that do not
violate the FBHS Behavior Code. Failure to do so will jeopardize eligibility for any and all school activities.
2.
Coaches and activity advisors are required to check to see if their athletes/participants are eligible for any given contest or
activity.
ATTENDANCE:
1.
A student must be in attendance in all classes on the day of a practice, event, or contest in order to qualify to participate that
day.
a.
Medical and/or dental appointments, funerals, court or probation appointments, and religious activities are possible
exceptions, subject to interpretation and approval by the assistant principal, or athletic director prior to the absence
or on the day of the student’s return to school. If an absence is not cleared in this manner the student will not be
allowed to participate in the practice, event or contest immediately following evaluation of reason for the absence.
2.
If a student misses a practice or a contest for any reason determined to be “unexcused”, disciplinary action will be determined
by the student’s coach. Coaches’ policies and team rules regarding consequences for absences (and other infractions) will be
clearly explained to students, and submitted in written form to students and the athletic director prior to the start of any given
season.
3.
A student must be in school on the Friday before a Saturday game in order to be eligible to compete in that game, unless
he/she is specifically excused by the principal or a delegated representative.
4.
Monitoring athletic/activity absences is a dual responsibility. It is the coach’s/advisor’s responsibility to check the
attendance of each of his/her students to determine if members of his/her team/club is ineligible for a practice, a game, or an
activity. Conversely, it is the student’s responsibility to inform his/her coach/advisor of an absence.
36
NOTIFICATION OF ELIGIBILITY:
1.
Conduct: If a student becomes ineligible due to improper conduct the assistant principal will notify coaches and/or advisors
of date(s) of ineligibility.
2.
Academics: Effective the first Friday following each grading period, the Athletic/Activities Director shall notify
coaches/advisors of students who have not met the academic eligibility requirements.
RULES
In addition to the academic, residential, and behavioral eligibility standards previously stated, the following rules and regulations
established by the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the Fort Bragg High School Athletic/Activity Council apply
specifically to FBHS athletics and where indicated, to activities.
1.
Students must attend, with parent/guardian, a pre-season athletics/activity meeting, at which time all rules, regulations, and
expectations will be reviewed (Ath/Act).
2.
At or prior to the time of the first team practice or club meeting, students must turn in to advisor or, in the case of athletics,
have on file with the office/AD, the signed portion of the Activities/Athletic Agreement form and a signed copy of team
rules. NOTE: Both the participant and the parent/guardian signatures are required (Ath/Act).
3.
Student athletes must pass a physical examination conducted by a licensed physician (CIF/Ath).
4.
Student athletes must have on file with the office/AD, a current physical form signed by the physician who supervised the
examination (Ath).
5.
Student athletes must submit certification that parents’ medical insurance covers them, or that they have purchased athletic
insurance. The name of the insurance company must be entered on the Athletic Release Form and signed by participant and
parent/guardian (Ath).
6.
Student athletes must sign the C.I.F. Ejection Policy form (Ath).
7.
Student athletes and their families will be asked to make a donation to help defray the costs of the athletic program (the
requested donation was formerly referred to as the sport athletic participation fee: $50 – 1st sport, $35 – 2nd sport, $15 – 3rd
sport, or $150 family maximum). (Ath).
8.
Student athletes may not play on an “outside” league team while participating in high school season of that sport (CIF/Ath).
9.
Student athletes may not have reached 19 years of age prior to June 15 (CIF/Ath).
10. Student athletes (varsity football only) must have reached the age of 15 (CIF/Ath).
11. Students must be eligible at the time of election, to run for club, class, or student body office (Act).
12. Students are personally responsible for all school equipment checked out. All equipment must be returned in good condition.
Students must pay for any equipment lost or misplaced. The participant understands that she/he will not be allowed to
participate in the next sport, continue in the activity, or receive a letter or any award until all equipment is either paid for or
returned (Ath/Act).
13. In order to earn a letter, student athletes must complete the season in good standing and be recommended by the head coach.
Students ineligible at the start of a season may practice with the team and play when they become eligible. Students who
become ineligible may be dropped from the team immediately and also will NOT letter. Ineligible students will NOT travel
with the team (Ath). Likewise, students who are ineligible may be members of organizations but will not hold office, travel,
or participate in events until they become eligible. Similarly, students who wish to earn their letter via academic performance
must meet all eligibility requirements (Act).
37
14. Students must attend the awards ceremony concluding the season/activity unless permission to be excused is granted by
her/his coach/advisor before the event. The participant must, when possible, contact the head coach/advisor personally to
explain extenuating circumstances; otherwise her/his award/letter will not be issued (Ath/Act). Qualified participants in
athletics shall be awarded the certificates, block letters, and or emblems as follows:
A. Junior Varsity participants – certificates.
B. Varsity participants – block letter, emblems and certificate.
1.
2.
3.
4.
1st year Varsity – certificate, block letter and/or emblem.
2nd year Varsity – certificate, service bar.
3rd year Varsity – certificate, small star.
4th year Varsity – certificate, large star.
NOTE: Block letters will be given by the coach of the first sport in which the student participates. Emblems and certificates
will be issued by coaches of subsequent sports.
14a.
Students who become ineligible before the end of their season and have no chance to become eligible prior to its conclusion
will not finish the season in good standing; thus, they will not letter.
15a.
Students may not miss any scheduled activity/game unless for medical reasons or pre-authorized school activity. If there is
an unexcused absence from practice, the athlete may be suspended or dismissed from the team. An athlete who has first
committed her/himself to playing a sport will be expected to participate in that sport over other school activities. Conflicts
between activities and sports are to be discussed between coaches, activity advisor, parents and participant and must be
resolved at the beginning of the season (state organizations, competitions, conferences, etc.) (Ath/Act). Athletes must
complete the required daily practice for both their primary and their secondary sport.
15b.
Students must choose a primary sport if she/he is participating in 2 activities (i.e. drama, band) or a sport and an activity
simultaneously during one season. The student must have on file in the office a signed statement naming his/her primary
sport. The student is to arrange with both advisors/coaches for practice to comply with eligibility rules (Ath).
15c.
Per CIF Constitution and Bylaws, no scholastic games or practices of any kind are to be held on Christmas Day or Sunday
(Article 308). However, there may be certain practices, workdays and/or competitions to be held on Saturdays or during
school vacation periods in which case coaches are to schedule at the beginning of the season and players notified if
participation is required. NOTE: Make-up games may need to be scheduled on non-school days with short notice (Ath).
16.
Student athletes must abide by all California Interscholastic Federation rules and the Fort Bragg High School Behavior Code
(CIF/Ath).
17.
Students must behave in an orderly manner (on and off the field in the instance of sports) and dress according to the standards
of the activity (Ath/Act).
18.
If an athlete quits one sport without consent of the coaches, she/he cannot participate in another sport until the completion of
that season. There is a two week period to select one sport over another when trying out for more than one team. After two
weeks of the season, starting with the first day of practice, no athlete will be allowed to try out for a team unless she/he is
new to the district or is late because previous sporting season has just been completed (Ath).
19.
Coaches/advisors may set standards of behavior and expectations for their sport/activity which, if violated, may result in the
participant being dismissed for the remainder of the season/school year. Each coach shall furnish the participant with a copy
of her/his rules and expectations at the beginning of the season (Ath/Act).
20.
For all away athletic contests/activities, participants must ride to and from contests/activities in school provided
transportation (i.e. district vans, buses, coaches’ vehicles, contracted vehicles) whenever such transportation is provided. At
times when district transportation is unavailable, students are expected to ride with coach/district approved drivers (Ath/Act).
21.
The FBHS athletic/activity philosophy holds that it is important students ride to and from events as a total team or group.
Nonetheless, parents may elect to transport their student (and only theirs) home from a contest or activity if they put a signed
“Travel Home With Parent” form on file in the school office before the contest or activity, and if they personally contact the
coach/advisor to inform him/her of their intent (Ath/Act).
38
MISCONDUCT
The examples below are intended to illustrate the types of behavior that are unacceptable for Fort Bragg High School students and the
penalties which apply.
A.
Offenses involving law enforcement and/or administration
1.
Students in possession of alcohol, drugs, or drug paraphernalia, or being under the influence of any drug or alcoholic
beverage at any time at school, at a school related activity, or en route to and from either school or a school related
activity will be directed to the school administration and/or law enforcement.
2.
Law enforcement will be notified when a student is suspended from school for any offense serious enough to be
referred to a law enforcement agency for prosecution such as, but not limited to, theft, vandalism, assault, battery, or
possession of illegal weapons.
Penalties resulting from such offenses:
B.
1.
First Offense: Unless expulsion is deemed appropriate or required by law, removal from participation in the current sport(s)
and a suspension from all extra-curricular and co-curricular activities/sports participation, from athletic practices to senior
end-of-year activities (to include picnic, banquet, and graduation ceremony (see letter following this document), for a period
of 45 consecutive activity days. If less than 45 days of the school year or of the sports season remains, the penalty carries
over to the next sport season and/or school year. Should this be the case, the athlete is allowed to practice, but not to travel or
compete in the second sport, or to participate in school activities until the 45 day suspension is concluded. For offenses
occurring while “in uniform”, a more severe penalty may be imposed (see D. below).
*During the time of suspension from a co-curricular activity, students will be given alternative assignments to replace the
required after school activity.
*An activity day is considered to be any day on which a contest or school activity can legally be held.
2.
Second Offense: or in the event of a suspended expulsion for the first offense, students will be given a choice of
consequences. One choice is to elect dismissal from all activities/athletics for one calendar year from the date of violation.
The other is to choose to comply with the conditions of the alternative plan: maintain a 2.0 GPA or “work to potential”, and
no “F” grades, good attendance, participation in a counseling program, good citizenship/no behavioral referrals, and
satisfactory weekly evaluation on the “pink sheet.” A file is to be kept and presented for review by the Athletic/Activities
Council at the end of 60 days. The council will determine if the one year activity suspension must be re-invoked.
Offenses involving law enforcement and/or administration (Out of school)
1.
Possession of alcohol, drugs, or drug paraphernalia, or being under the influence of any drug or alcoholic beverage at any
time.
2.
Any extreme offense serious enough that it may be referred to a law enforcement agency for prosecution such as, but not
limited to theft, vandalism, assault, battery, possession of illegal weapons.
Penalties resulting from such offenses:
1.
C.
Removal from participation in the current sport(s).
Offenses referred to school administration only
1.
2.
3.
Possession and/or use of tobacco products.
Acting in a manner that brings embarrassment to the school.
Disrespect/defiance of authority/disruption to the learning environment.
39
Penalties resulting from such offenses
1.
2.
First Offense: at administrative discretion, suspension from all activities/sports participation for a period of 5
consecutive school days for activities and/or 1 week of the season for athletics. If an Out-of-School suspension occurs,
this penalty will begin upon the student’s return to school. Depending on the duration of the suspension, followed by the
5 day activity suspension, a student could forfeit graduation should the infraction occur in the last two weeks of school.
If less than 5 days of the school year remain, the penalty carries over to the start of the next school year. If an athlete is
not currently participating in a sport, the violation will be recorded and considered as a first offense when participation in
any sport begins. Possible dismissal from team/activity.
Second Offense: Same as above, or, in the case of activities, exclusion from all events (except graduation) for 20
consecutive school days.
D. Suspension Penalties
Any time a student’s behavior results in an Out-of-School suspension, she/he is automatically suspended from
activities/athletics participation during the same time period. Students ineligible for disciplinary reasons may neither travel
with a school group/team nor attend an event/game while being disciplined.
E. Appeal Process
1.
Students shall have the right to appear with their parents or other designated advocates, to the Athletic/Activity Council.
2.
Any offense, including those not specifically listed in the Activities/Athletic Code, may be considered by either the
Activities Council or the Athletic Council. The ruling of the council may include a penalty more severe than the
minimum penalties listed above.
*FBHS student activities participants are held to a higher standard for the privilege of
participation in any school offered activity. As such, they are reminded that they have a
moral and ethical commitment to their school and to the activity in which they participate.
