DISCIPLINE, ATTENDANCE & SUSPENSION

BOULDER HIGH SCHOOL’S APPROACH TO DISCIPLINE, ATTENDANCE, AND SUSPENSION

Students are to maintain behavior that promotes safety and respect for all.  The BVSD Policies list specific conduct that shall be maintained by students and activities that will result in disciplinary action. For the Spanish version, please see current board policy on the BVSD website. Copies of these policies may be obtained from a school administrator or on the BVSD Policy Website.

Though suspension is a commonly used disciplinary technique, and supported by BVSD Policy, Boulder High School recognizes that although suspending students from school is sometimes necessary, there are other responses to violations of rules that can be implemented as first steps that do not remove a student from school. As part of the discipline procedure, BHS has implemented a range of strategies to increase positive choices from students, reduce misbehavior while maintaining a safe learning environment. Some of these strategies include community service, restorative practices, substance abuse classes, counseling, and conflict resolution. In some suspension cases one of the above listed alternatives may be explored. It is important to note that when BHS implements a suspension alternative to a student, the fidelity of the consequence must be 100% adhered to in order to reach a successful learning outcome for the student. This includes but is not limited to dates, times, and location of community service and/or restorative practices.  For student athletes, additional sanctions will be imposed per the athletic code of conduct.  Suspensions may be reported to college or universities depending on the individual school’s requirements. For specific information, please see your alpha counselor on the BHS Counseling Website.

Our goal is to use an instructional, rather than a punitive approach to addressing discipline. At the same time, our expectation is that all students follow the policies set forth by Boulder High School and the Boulder Valley School District.

School Administration will determine if a student is “under the influence,” in possession of, or has used alcohol or illegal substances by a body of evidence which could include, but not be limited to: smell, eyes, speech, behavior, etc.

Disciplinary action can result from acts outside regular school hours or the regular school year or off school grounds, which embarrass, humiliate, or degrade other students, staff members, or the reputation of Boulder High School, or which interfere with the school’s ability to operate effectively. These undesirable actions may result in suspension from any part, or all, of an activity or athletic season, or from school.

Habitual offenders to these policies and procedures are subject to additional consequences that may result in suspension from school.

 

DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR: USE OF CELL PHONE, EARBUDS, SMARTWATCHES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES

 

View BVSD Policy for more information on cell phone use.

 

DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR: REFUSAL TO GIVE CELL PHONE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, EARBUDS TO STAFF MEMBER

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: COPYING, PLAGIARISM OR CHEATING

DETRIMENTAL BEHAVIOR: HARASSMENT/BULLYING

All detrimental behavior violations are subject to an out-of-school suspension. In cases of subsequent violations, progressive discipline will be used based on investigation. Appropriate consequences will be given at this time. View BVSD Policy for more information on bullying.

Violations included but not limited to are the following:

• Epithets, slurs or negative stereotyping

STUDENT ID & DRESS CODE POLICIES

 

STUDENT IDENTIFICATION

Every BHS student is required to have a current student ID issued at the beginning of the school year. The ID must be in a student’s possession at all times.  You will not be able to ENTER the building, obtain a hall pass, leave a classroom, use a computer or check out media center materials without an ID. Proper Identification is also required to attend school events (i.e. sporting events, dances, etc.) at the student rate. Student IDs will allow a student to access the main doors to the building between the hours of 8:00am and 3:50pm.  

REFUSAL TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF All persons must, upon request, identify themselves to school personnel on school grounds or at school sponsored events by name and student ID. Students refusing to do so will be subject to disciplinary action.

Lost IDs may be replaced for $10. After paying the fee online at BHS RevTrak (select "Replacement ID-FOB" in the left column"), please bring the receipt to the office to receive a replacement.  

 

 

STUDENT DRESS CODE

DRESS​ ​CODE​ ​PHILOSOPHY

The Boulder High School student dress code supports equitable educational access and is written in a manner that does not reinforce stereotypes and that does not reinforce or increase marginalization or oppression of any group based on race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, household income or body type/size.

The student dress code supports our goal of inspiring students to learn while leaving primary decisions around student clothing and style to students and their parent(s)/guardian(s). Our expectation is that parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring student compliance with the school’s dress code, and students are responsible for knowing all aspects of the student dress code and for complying during school hours and school activities. 

To ensure effective and equitable enforcement of this dress code, school staff shall enforce the dress code consistently and in a manner that does not reinforce or increase marginalization or oppression of any group based on race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, household income or body type/size.

 

DRESS​ ​CODE POLICY

Boulder High School expects that all students will dress in a way that is appropriate for the school day or for any school sponsored event. Student dress choices should respect the District’s intent to sustain a community that is inclusive of a diverse range of identities. The primary responsibility for a student’s attire resides with the student and their parent(s) or guardian(s). The school is responsible for seeing that student attire does not interfere with the health or safety of any student, and that student attire does not contribute to a hostile or intimidating atmosphere for any student. Any restrictions to the way a student dresses must be necessary to support the overall educational goals of the school. 

1. Basic​ ​Principle:​ ​Certain​ ​body​ ​parts​ ​must​ ​be​ ​covered​ ​for​ ​all​ ​students​ ​at​ ​all​ ​times.

Clothes must be worn in a way that genitals, buttocks, breasts, and nipples are fully covered with opaque fabric. All items listed in the “must wear” and “may wear” categories below must meet this basic principle.

2. Students​ ​Must​ ​Wear*​, while following the basic principle listed in Section 1 above:

• A​ ​Shirt​ (with fabric in the front, back, and on the sides under the arms), AND
• Pants/jeans​ ​or​ ​the​ ​equivalent​ ​(for example, a skirt, sweatpants, leggings, a dress or shorts), AND
• Shoes​

3. If students are found in violation of the dress code, students will be asked to put on their own alternative clothing or wear school provided clothing.  

Courses that include attire as part of the curriculum (for example, professionalism, public speaking, and job readiness) may include assignment-specific dress. Activity-specific shoes requirements are permitted (for example, shorts, T-shirt and athletic shoes for PE).

PARKING

STUDENT PARKING

Parking is very limited at Boulder High School. Student parking for seniors only is in the lot between 13th and 14th streets and is available on a first come, first serve basis. Boulder High School sells more parking permits than spaces available to accommodate students coming and going from the lot throughout the course of the day. This means that purchasing a permit does not guarantee that a student will always have a spot in the lot but rather that they have the opportunity to park in the lot if a spot is available. A senior must purchase and display a parking sticker in the correct location on their vehicle in order to park in the lot. Stickers may be purchased for seniors, from Revtrak , and the cost is $50.

Students who violate the parking policy are subject to A $25 TICKET ON THE FIRST AND SECOND OFFENSE.  IN THE EVENT OF A THIRD OFFENSE, THE VEHICLE MAY BE TOWED AT OWNER’S EXPENSE.  Cars will also be towed if blocking fire lanes, driveways, or other vehicles. Cars will also be ticketed if parked in yellow areas or along curbs. Additional information including parking rules, parking application, and appeal form can be found on the BHS Forms Website.

SCOOTER OR MOTORCYCLE PARKING

Students who ride a scooter or motorcycle to school should park their bikes on the east side of the building by the bike racks adjacent to the main gymnasium.   Boulder High School is not responsible for scooters or motorcycles that are left on BHS property overnight. It is highly recommended that students do not leave their scooters or motorcycles on school property overnight.  Scooters or motorcycles that are parked and block the sidewalk may incur a fine.

BICYCLE PARKING

Bicycle parking is available at several locations around the school. Do not lock bicycles to fences, trees or railings. These too may incur a fine. Boulder High School is not responsible for bicycles that are left on BHS property overnight. It is highly recommended that students do not leave their bicycles on school property overnight.

NEIGHBORHOOD PARKING

Parking in the neighborhoods around Boulder High are limited to two hours per zone.  Vehicles without parking permits may park in a non-permit zone up to the posted time restriction one time per day. After parking in a zone for the posted time limit, vehicles must leave the zone and may NOT park in that zone again on the same day.  This means that you cannot park for more than two hours in a zone.  Simply moving your car from one side of the street to the other does not give you two more hours in that zone.  The City of Boulder will be monitoring the neighborhoods with more vigilance during this school year and want you to be aware of this rule.  Students will not be permitted to leave a class to move their car.

VISITORS & ACCESSIBLE PARKING

Visitors must check in with the security window for a visitor’s badge. Visitors are asked to wear their badge while at the school. Accessible parking spaces are located in the 15th and 17th Streets parking lots. Visitor spaces are located only in the 15th Street lot.  If visitor or disabled parking spaces are not available, please contact the receptionist at Boulder High, at 720-561-2200, for assistance with a parking space.

ATTENDANCE POLICY & PROCEDURES

BHS ATTENDANCE POLICY

Since it is the expectation at Boulder High School that each and every class period consists of high-quality instruction and effective best practice, any absence may negatively impact student learning and academic progress. As such, it is the further expectation of Boulder High School that students are on-time and attend each and every class period.  Please take time to familiarize yourself with the attendance policy below. 

 

STUDENT ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS

As required by Colorado State Law and BVSD Policy, students are expected to attend every day that school is in session. For further information in the District’s Attendance Policies see current board policy on the BVSD website, please refer to the Student Rights and Responsibilities Guide (English, Spanish) and State Law (C.R.S. 22-33-104), which require attendance at school for all students until the age of seventeen.

ASSIGNED COMMUNITY SERVICE

Students who accrue excessive absences can be assigned Community Service.  Students who accrue excessive tardies in any one class may be assigned Community Service. A student failing to attend their Community Service assignment may result in further disciplinary action.

 

TARDIES

Students arriving late to class disrupt the learning environment and compromise student academic progress. Board policy states that because of the disruptive nature of tardiness on the non-tardy students’ right to an uninterrupted learning environment, appropriate penalties may be imposed. If a student is less than 5 minutes late to class, they will be marked tardy in Infinite Campus. Please note, if your student is more than 5 minutes tardy, it is considered an unexcused absence and will be marked as such in Infinite Campus. In order to maintain accurate attendance records, teachers will also make a notation in Infinite Campus indicating the number of minutes that the student was late when they arrive after the 5 minutes.

 

TRUANCY PROCEDURES

Truancy procedures will be initiated for students under the age of 17 who have excessive absences.  Specifically, the student and their parent/guardian will receive two letters stating that further absences will not be excused unless documentation is provided by a doctor or court. These processes will also be followed for students 17 and older, with the exception that students at this age are not referred to truancy.  If a student accrues 30 unexcused absences, administration will place the student on an attendance contract. In the rare case that a student continues to accrue unexcused absences after being placed on an attendance contract, he or she will be referred to truancy mediation with the BVSD Engagement Specialist and Attendance Advocate.

 

ABSENCE REPORTING PROCEDURE

 

EXCUSING SINGLE PERIOD ABSENCES & FULL DAY(S) ABSENCE(S)

Parents and Guardians must call in to the attendance office (720-561-5300) and provide information excusing the student’s single period or full day out of school, up to ten days without documentation.  We strongly recommend parents calling on the day of the absence to excuse their student. If it is not possible to call on the day of absence, a call must be made within two days (48 hours) after the absence or it will remain unexcused. Written notes or emails from parents will not be accepted to excuse an absence.

Excused absences include:

• Temporary illness or injury
• Extended absences due to physical, mental, or emotional disability
• Medical or dental appointments that cannot be scheduled outside of the regular school day (documentation from care provider required)
• Absences directly related to the primary handicapping condition of an identified handicapped student
• Emergency, serious illness, or death in the family
• An absence that occurs when the student is in the custody of court of law enforcement authorities
• Absences due to suspension (in accordance with state law)
• An absence resulting from participation in a work/study program, field trip, or athletic competition under the supervision of school
• Extremely inclement weather
• Participation in religious observances
• An absence that is approved by an administrator of the school

PREARRANGED ABSENCES

Prearranged absences include interviews with college admission officials, interviews with career employer representatives, special family activities, and extenuating circumstances as determined by the principal or their designee. Please have your student see attendance staff for a Prearranged Absence Form before the event. This will be signed by parents, teachers and a school administrator to excuse absences. Prearranged absences may necessitate a parent conference.

The teacher of any class from which a student is absent shall determine what assignments the student shall make up and in what period of time the student shall complete such assignments. Upon satisfactory completion, full credit shall be granted. The tests and assignments shall be equivalent to, but not necessarily identical to, that which the student missed during the absence. 

 

MISSED WORK FOR ABSENTEEISM 

Students with absences must make arrangements with the teacher to make up work for excused absences. The amount of time for completing makeup work is at the teacher’s discretion. Arrangements must be initiated within two school days of the absence. Work assigned prior to the absence is due on the original date or immediately upon return as per the teacher’s expectations. Work assigned while the student is absent will be due as per the arrangement between the teacher and the student. Students with pre-arranged absences are held responsible for all missed class information. All homework or projects that occur during a prearranged absence must be submitted as per the prior arrangement between the teacher and the student. It will be at the discretion of each teacher whether to accept makeup work (including exams) occurring during an unexcused absence.  No student can miss a class in order to make up work for another class.

SCHOOL NOTIFICATION CONCERNING UNEXCUSED ABSENCES

Unless the absence has been excused, the attendance staff will attempt to make a computerized telephone call concerning each class period missed. Parents and students may access attendance records via the Infinite Campus (IC) Portal. In an effort to support regular attendance, an initial letter will be sent home after 10 unexcused class-period absences. Another letter will be sent home at 20 unexcused class-period absences.

If a student wakes up sick in the morning but decides to come to school later that day because the illness has passed, the parent and/or the student must check in with attendance staff. 

INCORRECTLY MARKED ABSENCES

 

If a student is marked absent incorrectly in a class the student needs to communicate with the teacher of the class they were mistakenly marked absent. The teacher will then email the Boulder High School attendance mailbox at boh.attendance@bvsd.org to fix the inaccurate attendance. All updates will be available on Infinite Campus (IC) Portal after the correction is made. Reminder, if your student is more than 5 minutes tardy, it is considered a Partial Unexcused Absence.

 

HEALTH APPOINTMENTS

Parents should make every effort to schedule appointments outside of school hours. However, if not possible, parents are urged to consider varying the times of the day during which health appointments are made in order to avoid missing the same class consistently. If a student returns to school the same day, they are required to report to the attendance desk before returning to class to provide documentation of the health visit in the form of a note from the health professional. If the student does not return to school that day, documentation should be provided to the attendance liaison the following day.

FAMILY TRIPS

We realize there are times families need to travel for various reasons during the school year. Families taking these trips must complete a pre-arranged absence form. If your student has accrued more than their ten days absent limit, then the absences will be considered unexcused.  We want parents to understand that classroom instruction and the interactive dynamic of the classroom experience are irreplaceable. A student must complete a Pre-Arranged Absence form at least three days prior to the start of the absence. These forms are available at the attendance desk.

COLLEGE VISITATIONS

COLLEGE VISITS - ON CAMPUS

Many college representatives come to Boulder High School to provide students information about their colleges.  View this schedule on the Researching Colleges - Boulder High School website. Any junior or senior can attend these college visits and sophomores who have written notice from their parents can attend as well.  Students must follow these guidelines:

• Students must complete the college visit request form, available online or in the counseling office
• Students may choose to participate in a maximum of five visits
• Students must get a teacher signature 48 hours prior to the visit
• Students must bring this form to the visits as an admission ticket.

COLLEGE VISITS - OFF CAMPUS

Students must complete a pre-arranged absence form prior to visiting a college campus if they want their absence excused. Pre-arranged absence forms can be picked up at the attendance desk. Students must get the required signatures (student, parent, teacher and administrator) and return form to the Attendance Office at least 24 hours before absence.

School staff can help you add or change phone numbers and/or email addresses. Parents of high school students are also encouraged to add their child’s cell phone numbers, so that students can receive notifications by text and phone.

COMMUNICATION & SAFETY

DISTRICT COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL (EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROTOCOL)

Boulder Valley School District is committed to keeping the school communities safe. We know that before learning is possible, our students and staff must feel secure. As in past years, our Safety and Security team is working with schools to ensure that the Standard Response Protocol is being followed and that schools practice what to do during an emergency. BVSD is committed to informing parents and guardians about a crisis as soon as possible and then providing updates as needed.

COMMUNICATION DURING AN EMERGENCY

When a school is placed in lockout, lockdown, evacuation or shelter in place, BVSD will send an Emergency Alert via phone, text and email messaging. These alerts will be short, simply letting you know of the situation. BVSD will follow up as soon as possible with additional details or to let you know that everything has returned to normal.  Learn more at www.bvsd.org/parents-students/be-ready  For these alerts to be effective, please be sure your contact information is correctly updated in Infinite Campus.

ONLINE COMMUNICATION & LEARNING TOOLS

INFINITE CAMPUS (IC)

Infinite Campus is the student online gradebook system used by BVSD, staff, teachers, students, and parents. Each student has their own account at the IC Student Portal and parents/guardians are able to create an account for themselves separate from the student's account. Students and parents will find IC a valuable tool to track student progress and attendance. If a student needs help with their IC account, they may contact BVSD IT department or see a current teacher for assistance in changing their password. If a parent needs assistance with the IC Parent Portal, contact Carla Barry, our Community Liaison at 720-561-2218 or the BHS Counseling Office at 720-561-5351.  Additional help can be found online at www.bvsd.org/parents-students/apps/infinite-campus-portal-help
