Our district campuses encourage students to dress appropriately for school and enforce a dress code for all high school students. Research has
shown that student dress and appearance affect student attitude and conduct and that appropriate grooming and dress are a part of the learning
process. We understand that students and their parents freely choose a style of dress that reflects the student's individuality, but we also believe
that there are standards of appropriateness in grooming so not to distract from the educational process. If you have any questions regarding the
dress code policy, please contact the high school administration at your convenience. It is important to note that the dress code shall apply at
school and at all school-sponsored activities.
The following guidelines are intended to define appropriate student attire:
 Student dress and appearance shall not be hazardous to the safety of anyone in the school.
 Any clothes or styles of dress that may cause a threat, have a negative effect, or disrupt the educational process will not be permitted.
 No student may wear clothing that contains words that are suggestive or has suggestive double meanings of lewdness, obscenity or vulgarity.
 Clothing advertising alcohol, drug or tobacco products is prohibited.
 Any apparel, jewelry, accessory, notebook, backpack, or manner of grooming, which, by virtue of its color, arrangement, trademark or any
other attribute, denotes membership in gangs, advocates drug use, violence, disruptive behavior or is offensive is prohibited. A behavior con
tract is enforced based on gang associated activities.
 See-through, midriff, fishnet blouses, spaghetti strap tops (straps must be one 1 1/2” or wider), low cut, revealing tops and muscle shirts that
are cut low under the arm are prohibited.
 Shirts must be worn at all school activities including sporting events. Bare midriffs will not be allowed.
 All shorts and skirts must be an appropriate length, mid-thigh or longer. Biker shorts shall not be worn as outer garments.

Nuestros planteles distritales invitan a los estudiantes a vestirse apropiadamente para la escuela y cumplir con el código de vestuario para
todos los estudiantes de la escuela secundaria. La investigación ha demostrado que el vestuario y la apariencia del estudiante afectan la actitud y comportamiento del estudiante y que una apariencia y vestuario apropiado son una parte del proceso de aprendizaje. Entendemos
que los estudiantes y sus padres eligen libremente un estilo de ropa que refleja la individualidad del estudiante, pero también creemos que
hay estándares de presentación apropiada con el fin de no distraer el proceso educativo. Si tiene alguna pregunta con respecto a la política
de vestuario, por favor, contacte a la administración de la escuela secundaria a su conveniencia. Es importante tener en cuenta que el código de vestuario se aplicará en la escuela y en todas las actividades patrocinadas por la escuela.
Los siguientes lineamientos tienen por objetivo definir el vestuario adecuado del estudiante:

 Se prohíbe ropa que promueva el uso de alcohol, drogas o tabaco.
 Se prohíbe cualquier accesorio, prendas, joya, cuaderno, maletín o apariencia que por virtud de su color, disposición, marca o cualquier
otro atribute impliquen pertenencia a pandillas, promocione el uso de drogas, violencia, comportamiento de interrupción o sea ofensivo. Se solicita un contrato de comportamiento con base en actividades asociadas.

Tulare Joint Union High School District permits Sophomores who meet certain eligibility requirements to leave campus during the lunch hour starting
this Semester. Your son/daughter has earned this privilege through their academic achievement and attendance record. The District requires parent
permission for eligible students to exercise this privilege. Please note: the Open Campus Lunch privilege can be revoked for Sophomores who do not
meet eligibility standards.
Eligibility:
1)
Sophomores must have 95% attendance;
2)
Sophomores must be on track to graduate;
3)
Sophomores must have at least 90 semester credits;
4)
Sophomores cannot have any D’s or F’s on last report card.
Process for Permission being granted:
1. Pick up a permission form from the Assistant Principal's office.
2. Get signature from Counselor verifying they are on track to graduate and have at least 90 units;
3. Get signature from parents granting permission to leave campus during lunch;
4. Submit permission slip to A.P. office with all required signatures (A.P./Dean, Counselor, Parent, and Student);
5. A.P. Office will review all completed forms, check student eligibility list, and sign off on forms.
The California Standards Tests (CST) have been eliminated in preparation for the new tests based on new standards. However,
there are still some tests that will be taken this year by the sophomore class. All sophomores will take the CAASPP Life Science standards test and
all Juniors will be taking the CAASPP in ELA (English-language arts) and mathematics.
CAASPP: The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, or CAASPP, which has replaced the Standardized Testing and Reporting, or STAR Program, is the new state academic testing program. CAASPP is a system intended to provide information that can be used to monitor
student progress and ensure that all students leave high school ready for college and career. This year, CAASPP includes computer adaptive tests in
ELA and Mathematics. Students will receive individual score reports. Student score reports will be sent home to parents and will include an overall
score, a description of the student’s achievement level for ELA and Mathematics, and other information.
The new CAASPP System will have a direct impact on the California State University’s (CSU) Early Assessment Program (EAP). The CSU will use
CAASPP English language arts/literacy and Mathematics performance level outcomes to provide grade eleven students, their families, and their
high schools early signals about students’ readiness for college-level coursework.
AP TESTING: We have many students that are taking AP courses. As well as earning the extra grade point average, providing them the challenge
and rigor similar to one in college, these students have the opportunity to take the AP exam and possibly earn college credit. The testing window for
these AP Exams will begin May 2 and continue through May 12. Each AP test has a designated date and time. It is very important for your student
to be attending class every day since their AP teacher has been working diligently to teach them the curriculum and offer assistance in preparing
them for these important exams.
Notification of Administration of California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, or “CAASPP” (which has replaced the Standardized Testing and
Reporting, or “STAR Program”), is the new state academic testing program. CAASPP is a system intended to provide information that can be used to monitor student progress and ensure that all students leave high school ready for
college and career. CAASPP includes computer adaptive tests in English–language arts and mathematics as well as paper-based tests for science. This year, District students will take the test in grade 11 in the spring. To learn about
the types of questions on the computer-based test, you and your child can view the practice test online at the California Department of Education (“CDE”) Smarter Balanced Practice Test Web page at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp. To learn about the types of questions on the science-based portion of the assessment, you can review information provided by the CDE at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caasppscience.asp. Following the spring testing, students will receive individual score reports. Student score reports will be sent home to parents and will include an overall score, a description of the
student’s achievement level for English–language arts and mathematics, and other information. It is important to note that these scores cannot be compared to scores that your child previously received on the STAR Program tests
because this test is based on the new Common Core State Standards, involves different types of test questions, and will not be reported using the STAR Program reporting categories. It should be noted, that the University of California and the California State Colleges use the 11th grade CAASPP results to determine if students are ‘ready’ to be placed in credit bearing coursework. Students who do not take this test, will have to take placement tests to determine eligibility. Pursuant to Education Code section 60615, any written request to excuse your student from participating in any or all parts of the CAASPP assessment will be granted. Pursuant to Title 5, section 852(c) of the
California Code of Regulations, you may annually submit a written request to excuse your child from participating in any or all parts of any test provided pursuant to Education Code section 60640 for the school year. For additional
information about the CAASPP assessment system, please visit the following web address at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/index.asp or feel free to contact one of your school administrators.
