Annual Student Code of Conduct

Dear Longmont High School students and families,

Thank you for your partnership and supporting the academic growth, safety, and well-being of our students. Every year, St. Vrain Valley Schools prints an up-to-date version of the Code of Conduct for students and families to review. This important document guides students and school staff on what expectations for school conduct and the consequences for behaviors that fall outside of those expectations. It is important that families review this information every year and acknowledge their receipt and understanding of this document.


To this end, please click here to access an electronic version of the Code of Conduct for the current school year. After you have reviewed this information, all families must sign an electronic acknowledgement that they have received, read, and understand the information contained, including the Annual Notification to Parents/Guardians; Behavioral Code of Conduct; Rights and Responsibilities of Students and Parents; and Board of Education Policies book. To sign your electronic acknowledgement, please follow the steps described here.


Again, thank you for your continued partnership and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at mcmurry_jeffrey@svvsd.org.


Sincerely,

Jeff McMurry, Principal

Wednesday, August 28th - Back to School Night (5:00 - 7:30pm)

LHS Attendance, Why Attendance Matters. Attendance is crucial to students' success in school. Students who have over a 90% attendance rate: 1. Do better academically - receiving higher grades and earning more credits. 2. Feel more connected to their school community, foster stronger peer relationships, and have greater participation in extracurricular activities. 3. Enjoy improved mental health and wellbeing. We strive to have all our student achieve an attendance rate of 90% or higher. What does 90% attendance look like: one week - two or fewer missed classes. one month - two or fewer days missed. one quarter - fewer than five days missed. one school year - fewer than 17 days missed.
LHS Tardy Policy: The beginning of class is crucial for...making connections to previous learning. Setting the tone for the day. Building relationships. Showing respect to the teachers and peers. We will continue to positively reinforce this message, as well as reiterate expectations. When students accrue unexcused tardies, the following interventions will occur. Student is 10 minutes or less late: Teacher-led interventions may include: missing a graded activity at the beginning of class that cannot be made up. Losing classroom privileges such as school store, listening to music, or technology breaks. Needing to stay after class to makeup the time. Student is between 11 and 30 minutes late: School interventions include: Three or more of these tardies in a week leads to two lunch detentions. Phone calls home from counseling or administration once students have reached three of these tardies. Student is over 30 minutes late. School interventions: Marked as absent in the Infinite Campus with a note "AT" that stands for absence due to tardy. Lunch detentions. Meeting with student to determine room causes for tardiness and appropriate supports put in place if behavior continues.El principio de clase es importante para Establecer conexiones con lo aprendido anteriormente.  Establecer el tono para el día.  Establecer relaciones.  Mostrar respeto a los maestros y compañeros.   Continuaremos reforzando positivamente este mensaje. El estudiante llega 10 minutos o menos tarde: Las intervenciones dirigidas por el profesor pueden incluir: Perder una actividad calificada al comienzo de la clase que no se puede recuperar. Perder privilegios en clase como ir a la tienda escolar, escuchar música o el uso de su teléfono durante un descanso. Necesidad de quedarse después de clase para recuperar el tiempo. El estudiante llega entre 11 y 30 minutos tarde: Las intervenciones escolares incluyen: Tres o más de estas tardanzas en una semana conducen a dos detenciones durante el almuerzo. Llamadas  a casa de consejería o administración una vez que los estudiantes han llegado a tres de estas tardanzas. El estudiante llega mas de 30 minutos tarde: que significa "ausencia por tardanza". Reunión con el estudiante para determinar las causas de la tardanza y poner en marcha los apoyos adecuados si el comportamiento continúa.
