Parents and Students, Welcome back to another exciting school year at Glendale High School. Furthermore, I thank you for sending your student to Glendale, part of the Glendale Union High School District. We have continued to be recognized by the Arizona Department of Education as an “A” School. This once again is due to the efforts of all students, parents, teachers, and school community working together to accomplish our school goals. We are very proud of what we have accomplished and feel that every student that comes to our school will be prepared for college or career. I look forward to working with each of you again this year and am enthusiastic about what we will accomplish.

Sincerely,

Office Hours: M-F 7:30 am – 4:30 pm

STUDENT FEES Laws 1995 Chapter 71 provides Governing Boards the power to assess reasonable fees for fine arts and vocational education courses for material offered beyond those required to successfully complete the basic course requirements. Students taking specialized laboratory classes such wood and fine arts may be charged for materials used in the production of personal projects. In addition, most students choose to purchase a yearbook. These fees are subject to change. GRADUATION TICKETS All graduates will receive (6) tickets free with an additional charge of $5.00 per ticket.

BEHIND THE WHEEL DRIVING Driver Education is offered as a non-credit class. Information is available through your counselor. DEBTS All student debts to the school must be paid. Students may be withheld from graduation exercises until all debts are paid. PERSONAL PROPERTY The school assumes no responsibility for any personal property which is brought to school. This includes musical instruments, cars, bicycles, clothing, etc. Any theft, however, should be reported IMMEDIATELY to the Assistant Principal’s office. The lost and found department is located in the bookstore. IDENTIFICATION CARDS This card is required identification during the school day, for all transactions with the bookstore, attendance office, nurse’s office, media center and at all school sponsored activities. Carry it with you at all times. Students are subject to disciplinary action for not having their I.D. card. Do not lose your I.D. card it will cost $5.00 to replace it. ACTIVITY CARDS A student Activity Card ($30.00) will admit student to all regular scheduled home athletic events. The Parent Activity Card ($60.00) will admit parents and younger (non high school age) siblings living in the home – immediate family only - to all home athletic events. Names are listed on the card. Activity cards are not good for tournaments, playoffs or any other specialty game. Cards are purchased in the bookstore only. Cards are non-refundable and non-transferable. CAFETERIA The cafeteria is operated entirely as a service to the students and faculty; it is a non-profit organization. Students are expected to cooperate in maintaining an atmosphere of neatness, courtesy and efficiency. Lines move promptly if students choose their lunch quickly, order distinctly and have change ready. TRAVEL REDUCTION The 1988 Arizona Legislature passed an Air Quality Bill which requires employers (including school systems) with more than 100 full-time employees/students to reduce singe car occupancy travel to and from work or school site by 5%. In order to comply with this legal requirement, each Glendale Union High School District School has developed a plan to accomplish this goal. The plan includes encouraging car pooling, van pooling, alternate travel (bicycles), preferred parking. It also includes restricting student parking to upper-grade students. Each school site may use a variety of methods to reach this goal. Methods may vary from site to site. Community understanding and cooperating will help all Glendale Union High School District schools meet the letter and the spirit of the law. STUDENT INSURANCE A student Accident & Health Insurance Plan will be made available for purchase by the student at the beginning of each school year. This policy will be between the student, his family and the insurance company. The school will only be involved in reporting the accident or injury. It is a secondary policy to any program you may currently be covered under. The school does not have any type of accident or injury insurance on students.

YEARBOOK PICTURES GRADS Photography is the official yearbook photographer for all students. Yearbook pictures for all Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors will be taken in August and/or September.

Yearbooks will be priced at $65.00 with delivery generally occurring in the latter part of May. INTER-SCHOOL RIVALRY Competition between schools can be a healthy means of learning the rules of hard work and fair play. However, when not kept in perspective, there is very little value. Students who damage or efface school property, in the name of school rivalry, will face disciplinary action and be held liable for any damages as a result of their conduct (Board policy 6201 ARS 15-46). GHS will make every effort to foster the highest ideals of sportsmanship between schools. Any conduct, act or cheer which is in poor taste or offends the rights of others should be stopped immediately. Anything which diverts attention from the event to a person or group is considered disruptive and undesirable. Those who choose to disrupt a school event will be subject to ejection and/or suspension from school sponsored events. CLUB INITIATIONS There shall be no initiation into a school organization or into a school group which can be construed to be degrading in nature or which will set a person or a group apartment other persons or groups within the school. Formal induction ceremonies or instruction which is of an educational nature will be permitted under this policy if approved by the school administration. Reference – SB Policy 5702. MEDIA CENTER – 623-435-6261 Your Media Center is open from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. During class time passes for admittance are necessary except when you are accompanied by a teacher. A quiet and orderly atmosphere is expected o all students when using the Media Center. The Media Center contains a large collection of useful materials. Reference books, magazines, and AV materials must be used in the library and usually do not circulate. However, some reference materials may be borrowed for overnight use. A fine of $.10 per week is assessed for overdue materials. The Media Center is operated for your needs, interests and convenience. Come in to visit often and take advantage of its many resources. Your suggestions are always welcome. Student aides are a vital part of the Media Center and necessary to its functioning. They serve as desk assistants, file clerks, mail clerks, information clerks and processors. Through their work, they become acquainted with librarianship and earn credit each year. If you are interested, please see your counselor about Library Services.

HEALTH CENTER – 623-435-6203 The Health Center is located in the administration building and is staffed by a registered nurse to serve as a health counselor and advisor on student health problems and illnesses. When accidents or illnesses occur during school hours students must report to the nurse. Emergency care will be given according to the standing orders! Any further care is the responsibility of the parents. Also, students who are ill or injured can only go home if a parent or emergency contact is contacted by phone from the nurse. When possible, the student should report to class before going to the nurse. Missing class with an excuse of illness, unless the student has visited the Health Center, will be treated as truancy. It will be the nurse’s decision whether or not to permit a student to go home. The Health Center provides information in such areas as immunization, communicable diseases, hearing and vision, and chronic health problems. Injuries and Medical Release If you are injured on campus in sports or a school sponsored activity on or off campus, or on the way to or from school, you are required to immediately notify the coach, teacher, supervisor, or nurse of the injury. Any student excused from PE or athletics by a doctor must be released by the same doctor before participating in the activity again. The medical release must be brought to the Nurse’s Office and filed with your health record. Students that have been absent from school with an infectious or contagious disease must have a doctor’s release and check back in through the Health Center for re-entering school. Medications According to State Law, nurses are not allowed to dispense medications without doctor’s orders. Under certain circumstances, when it is necessary for a student to take medication during the school hours, the nurse may cooperate with the family physician as long as the following requirements are satisfied:

1. The medication must be prescribed by a physician. 2. There must be a written order on file from the physician and parent to administer the medication. 3. The medication must be in the original prescription bottle with orders as prescribed by the doctor AND brought in by the

guardian. 4. ASPIRIN and NON-ASPIRIN will not be dispensed without permission of the student’s parent or legal guardian.

NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE TO THIS PROCEDURE.

COUNSELING & CAREER SERVICES (623) 435-6207

Justin Tarver Assistant Principal Student Services

Glendale High School’s Counseling Department goals include assessing each student’s interests and aptitudes, planning an academic program with the student and his/her parents regarding high school graduation requirements and progress, and developing a post-high school academic plan. Upon enrolling at Glendale a student is assigned a counselor who will assist the student throughout his/her high school year. Counselors assist students in selecting courses, determining academic and career goals, and resolving personal social issues. Students are encouraged to make extensive use of the Counseling and Career Centers. Counselors will meet with each student to plan/review a program of studies to meet the student’s individual career, academic, and personal goals. Parental input is strongly encouraged. Each student will complete an Arizona Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP) which will allow students to review, track and update academic, career, postsecondary, and extracurricular goals. All students are scheduled for six credit earning classes each semester. Any exceptions must meet with administrative approval. The counselor and career specialist are available from 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. A student may drop in to talk with a counselor before and after school or during the student’s lunch without having a pass from class. A student may also go to the counseling office and sign up to see his/her counselor then the counselor will send for the student with a counseling center pass. Emergencies are acceptable at any time. Because counselors are often working with classroom groups of students and not always available in their office, parents are encouraged to call to make an appointment regarding their student. Counseling services available include: 1. Academic planning 2. Career/College information 3. College testing information 4. Financial Aid and scholarship information 5. Personal problem solving 6. Study skills information 7. Schedule adjustments/changes due to computer error or class leveling.

Proof of residence is required for registration at Glendale High School, or any other GUHSD school. SCHEDULE CHANGES No student-initiated schedule changes will be made unless the change meets the following criteria and meets administrative approval. Criteria for student-initiated schedule changes are as follow: 1. Computer or clerical error 2. Summer schedule credit 3. Doctor’s request If the request meets one of the criteria listed above, the student may pick up a schedule change request form in the Counseling Center. Completed forms must be retuned to the secretary in the Counseling Center, and the student should then make an appointment to see his/her counselor concerning the request. Note: The completed request form is not a schedule change; it is a request that will be considered by the counselor and administrator. GHS may initial a schedule change for reasons including: 1. Teacher recommendation in ability grouped classes only (request after the issuance of interim report in the 2nd and 4th nine weeks will not be considered) 2. Section balancing

CAREER CENTER Students are urged to start their study of college admission requirements before their junior year and to take full advantage of the Career Center. College catalogs and admissions requirements are available by accessing individual campus websites. HOMEWORK It is the belief of the Governing Board that worthwhile, appropriate homework is an important aspect of high school education.

Submits homework at the designated time 8th HOUR OPERATION GRADUATION Students must reach a minimum of 22 credits in the correct core and elective areas to receive a diploma, so staying on track is extremely important.

Students attend a specific day assigned to each subject area: Monday=English, Tuesday=Math, Wednesday=Science, Thursday=Social Studies/P.E./Languages, Friday=Electives. Athletic and activity practices begin at 3:30 to accommodate students attending 8th hour. Bus riders may receive a late bus pass for the 4:00 p.m. bus.

ATTENDANCE AND CONDUCT (623) 435-6201


Michelle Scott Assistant Principal Attendance / Discipline

TO REPORT AN ABSENCE If you are absent from school, a parent/guardian must call the attendance office at (623) 435-6201 or (623) 435-6233 (Spanish/Espanol), within 24 hours. You may call the office at any time day or night and leave a message. Please follow up with a note from the parent/guardian upon the students return to school. Calls and notes should state the student’s name, ID#, date of excused absence, and the reason for the absence. Any absence not excused within 24 hours will be considered a truancy and subject to disciplinary action. TARDIES Tardies will ONLY be excused for doctor, dentist, or court appointments. Supporting documents are required to have the tardy excused. Acceptable documentation includes doctor/dentist note, receipts and care instruction. Handwritten notes will not be accepted. LATE ARRIVAL AND EARLY DISMISSAL Students who do not carry a full schedule of classes are not to loiter on campus during their free time or periods for which they have no class scheduled. This does not preclude students from using the library or working on assignments while under the supervision of a teacher. CLOSED CAMPUS Glendale High School is a CLOSED CAMPUS. Students may not leave campus at any time during the school day without first obtaining parent/guardian permission and checking out through the attendance office. If your parent requests you to leave campus, you must check out through the attendance office, where you will be issued a Permit to Leave Campus. Students who leave campus without a permit are subject to disciplinary action. All students will remain on campus during their lunch period. If you have a scheduled appointment and must leave school early, obtain a Permit to Leave Campus from the attendance office BEFORE SCHOOL. Checking out early requires a call from a parent or a note stating the time and reason for early checkout. Parents and guardians will be asked to show ID for student checkout. VISITORS’ PASSES Visitors’ passes will not be issued during the school day unless the reason for being on campus is directly related to an educational program. All visitors must check in through the front office and all visitors must be approved by administration. DRESS CODE All students are to wear acceptable clothing (within the dress code) while on campus, whether or not school is in session, and at all school-sponsored events. Failure to change into acceptable clothing as provided by the attendance office may result in disciplinary action up to and including an off-campus suspension. GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY & OFF CAMPUS CONDUCT Students may not stand or loiter at any time on either side of the streets adjacent to school property. Students loitering, littering or engaging in other negative behaviors on the way to or from school may result in disciplinary action. All disciplinary action in regard to student conduct (for violation of school rules or other clear misconduct) on campus shall also apply to any activity off campus, (whether or not school is in session when such activity occurs) if such off campus activity may be reasonably interpreted to threaten the ability of the district to maintain a safe, orderly and disciplined educational atmosphere. This procedure is not limited to school sponsored and school related events.

STUDENT CONFLICT Students are expected to take all necessary measures to avoid fighting with another student. If a student has a conflict with another student, they are to report it to a teacher, counselor, or administrator immediately. The consequence for fighting is a 9 day off-campus suspension for all students involved. GRAFFITI PREVENTION Students may not possess permanent (Sharpie) markers, paint pens, mean streak markers, grease pens, or any similar items, with the only exception being Highlighters. Any drawings, stylized writing inscription, figure or mark on school property, backpacks, notebooks, papers, clothing or body, which may be associated with illegal or gang activity is prohibited. DETENTIONS Detentions include lunch detentions (35 minutes during lunch), 45 minute (after school) detentions, and 90 minute (after school) detentions. Failure to show to detentions may result in In-School Suspension or Off-Campus Suspension. SUSPENSIONS Suspensions include both In-School Suspensions (ISS) and Off-Campus Suspensions. Students who demonstrate a lack of control or the ability to follow instructions while serving an In-School Suspension may be sent home for the remainder of the day. STUDENT PARKING Student parking on campus is a privilege, NOT A RIGHT. Students driving to school must obtain a parking permit from the attendance office. A $25.00 fee will be charged for campus parking. The parking permit must be displayed in the front window of the vehicle. Any car not properly displaying this sticker will be subject to being towed at the owner’s expense. In addition, parking on campus without a permit may result in disciplinary action. Parking privileges may be revoked at any time by the school administration. WARNING: VEHICLES SUBJECT TO SEARCH Any vehicle entering school property is subject to search by school authorities. Such searches may be conducted without a warrant or permission from the owner of the vehicle. Search of the vehicle includes all compartments and components. Once a search begins, the person in control of the vehicle will not be permitted to remove it from the premises during the reasonable duration of the search. SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION The school district provides bus transportation for students who live more than a mile and a half from the school. Students must show their I.D. card to the driver to board the bus. Students need to be at their assigned pick-up point ten (10) minutes before their scheduled bus arrival. Bus drivers are not expected to wait for students at the bus stop either in the morning or afternoon. Missing the bus is not an excuse for being tardy to school. The bus driver has complete charge of the bus, and his/her instructions must be followed. Rules for passengers are posted in the front of each bus. Students whose behavior threatens the safety of others will be denied transportation. Misuse of ID cards or Late Bus Passes may result in loss of bus privileges and/or disciplinary action. REMEMBER IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO RIDE THE BUS, NOT A RIGHT. OFFICIAL SCHOOL DAY The school day officially starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 2:35 p.m. If required stay after school for make-up work, interventions, or detentions, you are required to stay. Students coming to school late must check-in immediately through the attendance office upon arrival. Students leaving early must have parental permission and check out through the attendance office. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. PROHIBITED ITEMS The disruption of the educational environment by the possession or use of cellular phones or other electronic devices is prohibited. Skateboards, roller skates, or similar modes of transportation are not permitted to be used on campus at any time. All bikes must be locked in the bike rack and not ridden on campus at any time. ELECTRONIC INFORMATION RESOURCES The goal of the Glendale Union High School District in providing electronic information services is to promote educational excellence by facilitating resource sharing, innovation and communication. The GUHSD will make every effort to protect students and teachers from any misuse or abuses as a result of experiences with an information service. The use of the information system is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use will result in a cancellation of those privileges and may result in disciplinary action. For more information, consult the Glendale Union High School District PARENT/STUDENT Handbook.

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILTY In order to participate in inter-school activities, students of Glendale High School must meet the rules and regulations set up by the Arizona Interscholastic Association. These rules determine the eligibility in all A.I.A schools in Arizona. SCHOLASTIC ELIGIBILITY

Students will be monitored on a two week cumulative basis. 4. Students who fail to earn a passing grade in any credit earning class for a two week period

ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT A record of all athletic equipment issued to students is kept by the Varsity head coach.

Any equipment not returned by student may result in a fine. Remember – you cannot participate in another sport until you have turned in all equipment from the previous sport.
