School's Policies and Procedures
It is important that all students and families read through our policies and procedures. Students will be going through these in their advisory class and through a grade level presentation. If you have any questions, please reach out to Vice Principal Campos at jcampos@jeffersonunion.net
Make up Picture Day - August 21st
If your student missed orientation or wants to retake their picture, please mark Thursday August 21 in your calendar!
Lifetouch sent emails directly to family on how to order your pictures. Please review that email for details.
Cell Phone Policy
Cell phones are a major distraction from learning and socializing in schools. Our school policy is that devices are stored off and in a place that is not visible for the duration of each class time, including walking to and from the bathroom, library or counseling hall during their class time. Staff members have the option of requisitioning the device and turning it over to the front office. The student can retrieve their device at the end of the school day. If a student repeatedly fails to adhere to this policy, they should expect to turn in their device into the office every morning.
New Policy - Clearing Tardies/Absences
If a student has been mistakenly marked tardy or absent by their teacher, please have them visit the attendance clerk, Jesse, in the attendance office.
Students can request a “Clear Sheet” to take to their teacher. If the teacher confirms the error, they can sign the "Clear Sheet". The student must then return the signed sheet to Jesse, who will update the correct attendance code. Oceana's new policy is that students have two weeks to complete this process from the date of the absence or tardy.
Seniors who are interested in dropping classes for the spring semester will need to stay on top of their attendance and clear any issues that may arise in a timely manner.
