| The safety policy of the
Summer Academy is the same as those of the El Segundo Unified School
District with minor adaptations. |
Bullying
Annual student surveys indicate that most students feel safe at El
Segundo High School. However, it is important for any student who feels
bullied on campus to report the offense immediately to the director of
the Summer Academy. (This includes any cyberbullying off-campus that may
present a problem at school.)
Care of School Property
An important quality of being a responsible person is showing respect
for public and private property. Damage to school, including books,
materials, equipment, facilities, or grounds must be repaired or
replaced at the students’ or parents’ expense.
Closed Campus
In order to ensure that students are in a supervised, safe and orderly
environment, the Summer Academy has established a “closed campus”. This
means that once a student has arrived at school, he/she must remain on
campus until the end of the school day unless granted permission to
leave by the teacher and/or director with a note from the
parent/guardian.
Hazing
Any form of hazing, whether on or off campus, is strictly prohibited.
(This includes any form of initiation or acts of purposeful ridicule/
humiliation). Any student participating in or threatening an act of
hazing will be referred to the El Segundo Police Department and/or
subject to appropriate school consequences under the Education Code
4890.
Leaving an Assigned Area
Students are not allowed to leave their classroom or assigned area.
Respect
Students should respect themselves, their peers, the staff, the
community, and property of others. Rude, vulgar language, racial slurs,
sexual harassment*, threatening, bullying or vandalism will not be
tolerated and will result in appropriate consequences.
Sexual Harassment is
defined as unwanted or unwelcome sexual behavior and conduct that
offends others including:
· Sexual advances
· Pressure for sexual favors
· Touching of a sexual nature
· Displaying or distributing sexually explicit graffiti, drawings,
pictures, or written materials
· Sexual gestures
· Sexual or “dirty” jokes
· Touching oneself sexually
· Talking about one’s sexual activity in front of others
· Spreading rumors about or rating others’ sexual activity or
performance
· Compliments with sexual undertones
Personal Transportation
As per ESUSD Board Policy, riding skates, skateboards, roller blades,
roller shoes, motorized and/or self-propelled scooters or use other
roller type devices shall not be ridden or stored on school property. If
confiscated, they will be returned only to parents. Unclaimed items will
be donated to charity at the end of the school year.
Student vehicles are not allowed to be parked in the
teachers/faculty/staff parking lot. Vehicles without faculty parking
passes are subject to being towed.
Note: Student drop off is to be done at the turn-around on Mariposa Ave.
Parents should not enter the faculty parking lot to drop off students.
Weapons and Controlled Substances
Bringing any type of dangerous object that may be considered a weapon to
school or any school related event will result in expulsion . Students
in possession or under the influence of alcohol or drugs at any school
activity will result in expulsion. If a student is knowingly standing in
a group where drugs or alcohol are present (but not necessarily) holding
it, he/she may receive the same consequences.
Valuables and Electronics
The summer Academy is not responsible for lost or stolen property.
Electronics that are disruptive to the learning environment or that are
used without teacher permission may be confiscated. Such items will be
returned only to parents. Repeat offenders will be subject to further
school consequences. Cell phones must be turned off during class hours.
They may be used before school, during snack/lunch, and after school.”
The Summer Academy reserves the right to confiscate cell phones and
other electronic devices. Confiscated items will be held until a parent
meets with a school administrator/designee. Students who have the above
mentioned items confiscated more than once may be subject to expulsion.
Confiscated items not claimed by the end of the summer will be donated
to charity.
Evacuation
In the event of an emergency which requires an evacuation, all classes
are to proceed to the football field.
Infectious Diseases
Students and staff shall observe universal precautions in order to
prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens and to prevent the spread of
infectious diseases.
The director shall inform students of the precautions to be used in
cases of exposure to blood or other body fluids through injury,
accident, or classroom instruction.
Students with Infectious Diseases
The director shall exclude students only in accordance with law.
Because bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C
virus, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are not casually
transmitted, the presence of infectious conditions of this type is not,
by itself, sufficient reason to exclude students from attending school.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to inform the director if their
child has an infectious disease so that school staff may
work cooperatively with the student's parents/guardians to minimize
the child's exposure to other diseases in the school setting.
The director shall ensure that student confidentiality rights
are strictly observed in accordance with law. |
