  • SECTION II

    STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

    Students Are Expected To:

    1

    Attend School Daily, Unless Valid Excuse is Provided

    Regular school attendance provides students with the opportunity to have a successful and engaging school experience culminating in college, career, and community preparedness. In California, a student is required by law to attend school between the ages of 6 and 18.

    2

    Be On Time For All Classes

    Being on time helps to ensure all students can learn free of distraction. Stockton Unified School District is dedicated to providing high quality first instruction, rigorous curriculum, and supporting academic achievement and social-emotional development supported by Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Entering a classroom after a lesson has begun interferes with the rights of other academic pursuits.

    3

    School Based Expectations

    Academic and behavioral expectations are designed to allow ALL students to participate in their education and to limit distractions caused by other students.

    4

    Leave Unnecessary Items At Home

    Items which distract from the learning environment should not be brought to school. Items which are considered to be distractions to instruction or creating an unsafe learning environment may be taken away and turned into the office to be returned to the student with a warning at the end of the day. If you have a question as to what qualifies as a distraction, please contact your school site administrator.

    5

    Cooperate With the School Community

    Every community depends upon the willingness of citizens, including students, families, teachers, and other District personnel, to play a part in upholding the guidelines by which everyone participates. Contributing to a positive school community leads to college, career, and whole community readiness.

    6

    Complete All In-Class And Homework Assignments And Meet Deadlines

    In order to benefit from the educational opportunity provided by school, it is important to complete the assigned work, including assigned homework. Please contact your teacher, counselor, or other trusted site personnel if you need more support to complete assignments and meet deadlines.

    7

    Respect Public Property And Carefully Use And Return All Materials And Equipment

    Damage to school property and materials denies others the use of such property and materials and limits the educational process. Inform your teacher, counselor, or site administrator if an item/material is not working as expected.

    8

    Come To Class With Necessary Books And Materials

    In order to benefit the most from your education, it is important to come to class prepared to learn. This includes bringing necessary books and materials. In the event you are unable to provide necessary materials, please contact your site administrator or counselor.

    9

    Ensure That School Correspondence To Parents/Guardians Reaches Home

    Education requires a partnership between the home and the school. This allows parents/guardians and teachers to help students when they are having difficulties. Teachers and other school personnel will communicate with families by sending materials home with the student. The student is to make sure that all materials are given to the parent/guardian.

    10

    Follow Directions From Responsible Adults

    As student safety is paramount, it is important for students to follow the directions of teachers and other school personnel, as well as to obey school rules, inside the classroom as well as outside.

    11

    Maintain Academic Standards

    To encourage and promote academic excellence, students shall have maintained at least a 2.0 GPA in all enrolled classes during the previous grading period in order to participate in athletics, extracurricular and co-curricular activities. This policy applies to students in grades 7-12 inclusive.
