notifying the parents at that time, the principal shall not notify the parents. Because the
principal does not have the authority to prevent or delay a custody action, notification
will most likely be after the fact.
Notification of Law Violations
The district is also required by state law to notify:
All instructional and support personnel who have responsibility for supervising a
student who has been arrested or referred to the juvenile court for any felony offense
or for certain misdemeanors.
All instructional and support personnel who have regular contact with a student who
has been convicted, received deferred prosecution, received deferred adjudication,
or adjudicated of delinquent conduct for any felony offense or certain
misdemeanors.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES/CONDITIONS
To protect other students from contagious illnesses, students infected with certain
diseases are not allowed to come to school while contagious. If a parent suspects that his
or her child has a contagious disease, the parent should contact the school nurse or
principal so that other students who might have been exposed to the disease can be
alerted.
The school nurse or the principal’s office can provide information from the Department
of State Health Services regarding these diseases.
CORRESPONDENCE COURSES
A student in grades 9-12 may earn a maximum of four units of credit by correspondence.
These credits may be applied toward state or local graduation requirements.
Correspondence courses taken for high school credit will not be weighted.
COUNSELING
Academic Counseling
Students and their parents are encouraged to talk with a school counselor, teacher, or
principal to learn more about course offerings, graduation requirements, and early
graduation procedures. Each spring, students in grades 7 through 12 will be provided
information on anticipated course offerings for the next school year and other information
that will help them make the most of academic and vocational opportunities.
To plan for the future, each student should work closely with the counselor in order to
enroll in the high school courses that best prepare him or her for attendance at a college,
university, or training school, or for pursuit of some other type of advanced education.
The counselor can also provide information about entrance exams and application
deadlines, as well as information about automatic admission to state colleges and
universities, financial aid, housing, and scholarships.
