GENERAL SCHOOL INFORMATION 623-435-6200 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. 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. Seniors should have received information through the mail to contact GRADS for a FREE senior sitting; if you have not, please contact them today at 623-580-4623, to schedule your appointment. The deadline for senior pictures is November 1st. YEARBOOKS Sales promotions are held throughout the school year; however, to ensure you receive a copy and to pay the lowest price possible (approximately $45), please order your yearbook during the first sales promotion in August. Prices will increase throughout the year (up to $65 per book). Delivery of yearbooks generally occurs 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 7:14 a.m. to 3:45 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 $.25 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.

ATTENDANCE AND CONDUCT (623) 435-6201 Office Hours: 7:00 am – 3:30 pm M-F ABSENCE REPORTING If you are absent from school, a parent/guardian must call the attendance office at (623) 435-6201 or (623) 435-6233 (Espanol), within 24 hours. You may call this office at anytime day or night. 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 will be considered a truancy and subject to disciplinary action. IF YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT If you have a scheduled appointment and must leave school early, obtain a checkout pass in 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. Guardians will be asked to show ID for student checkout. CAMPUS RULES Students are not authorized to leave out of class campus during regular classroom hours without parent/guardian or school nurse permission. Students must always check out through the attendance office. Students on campus without a pass during classroom hours are in violation of the loitering regulation and are subject to disciplinary action. Students may not stand or loiter at any time on either side of the streets adjacent to school property. Complaints of loitering, littering or other interactions may result in disciplinary action. 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. Students are required to remain by the picnic tables until their morning classes begin or until the school day is complete. This does not preclude students from using the library or working on assignments while under the supervision of a teacher. STUDENT PARKING Student parking on campus is a privilege, NOT A RIGHT. Students driving to school must obtain a sticker from the attendance office. A $10.00 fee will be charged for campus parking. 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. The parking privilege of any student may be revoked at any time by the school administration. WARNING VEHICLES SUBJECT TO SEARCH Any vehicle entering the school ground area is subject to search by school authorities. Such search may be conducted without warrant for any reasonable purpose. Search of the vehicle includes all compartments and components thereof. 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 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 afternoons. 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. 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 3:30 p.m. If a teacher requests that you stay after school for make-up or detention, you must stay. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. OFF CAMPUS LUNCH Glendale High School is a closed campus. All students will remain on campus during their lunch period. Students who leave without the appropriate pass will be subject to disciplinary action. PROHIBITED ITEMS The disruption of the educational environment by the possession or use of cellular phones, IPOD’s 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.

10

OFF CAMPUS CONDUCT All disciplinary action available with regard to a student for violation of school rules or other clear misconduct on campus shall be available for 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. 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.

COUNSELING – GUIDANCE CAREER SERVICES (623)-435-6273 Office Hours: M-F 7:30 am – 4 pm Glendale High School’s Counseling and Guidance 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. Students are encouraged to make extensive use of the Counseling and Career Centers. 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. 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. Beginning with the class of 2013, 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 OR CHANGE TO ANOTHER GUHSD SCHOOL… OUT OF DISTRICT STUDENTS MUST ATTEND THE SCHOOL CLOSEST TO THEIR DOMICILE 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, or a 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 Office. Completed forms must be retuned to the secretary in the Counseling Office, 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.

CREDIT CHECK Students are to assume responsibility for keeping a check on their credits. Students will confer with counselors and maintain an on-going check of credits earned. Counselors conduct periodic student credit checks, however, students must assume a personal responsibility in this area also. Parents of seniors who are failing a the end of the 1st semester should contact the counselor to find out what must be done to enable the student to graduate on time. HOMEWORK It is the belief of the Governing Board that worthwhile, appropriate homework is an important aspect of high school education.

The Board of Regents has determined that calculation of Grade Pointe Average (GPA) for admissions must be computed using the core subjects listed below when admission is based upon courses taken in high school. Students ranking into the upper 50% of their graduating class and/or maintaining a 3.0 core grade point average will be admitted to regular standing. Students whose scholastic average places them in the lower 50% of the class may apply for provisional admission which is granted by the admitting institution only after preliminary testing and counseling have given evidence of the individual’s ability to perform college work successfully. Students planning to attend out-of-state institutions should consult with their counselors. Also, several college catalogs are available in the Career Center. Students are urged to start their study of admission requirements before their junior year.

GUHSD OPT-OUT FORM Notice to Parents Regarding Directory Information According to state and federal law, directory information may be publicly released to an institution of higher learning (community colleges, universities, trade schools) or military representatives. Directory information may consist of the student’s name, address, date and place of birth, photograph, grade level, participation in extracurricular activities, weight and height if a member of an athletic team, honors and awards received, and names of parents or guardians. Please note the following statement from the U.S. Department of Education: “Recognizing the challenges faced by military recruiters, Congress recently passed legislation that requires high schools to provide to military recruiters, upon request, access to secondary school students and directory information on those students. Both the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 reflect these requirements. In accordance with those Acts, military recruiters are entitled to receive the name and address listing of juniors and seniors in high school.” Student photos become part of a national database maintained by the photography company the school has selected. The companies assure us that this information is not shared for commercial purposes but rather is part of an agreement with the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The photos can then be easily distributed nationwide in the event of a missing child. However, if you do not want your child’s photo to be part of this national database, do not participate in school picture day. The school will maintain a student’s photo as part of their permanent record file. Initial next to each statement that you want enacted: _____ I DO NOT give permission to GUHSD to release Directory Information on my child (Name, address, city, state, phone number). _____ I DO NOT give GUHSD permission to publish my child's yearbook photograph. _____ I DO NOT give permission to GUHSD to release any Directory Information on my child to a military recruiter. I understand this will waive my child’s right to participate in the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). If the school district does not receive this notification from you within two weeks of receipt of this notice, it will be assumed that your permission is given to release your child’s directory information. Please be assured that your child’s safety and welfare are our primary concerns. As in the past, we will be prudent and cautious in all of our practices regarding this issue.

REUSE DE OPCION – GUHSD Aviso a los padres con respecto a la información del directorio De acuerdo con la ley federal, la información del directorio puede ser pública a instituciones de aprendizaje superior (Universidades de comunidad, universidades, escuelas comerciales) o representantes militares. La información del directorio puede consistir de el nombre del estudiante, dirección, fecha y lugar del nacimiento, fotografía, nivel de grado, participación en actividades extracurriculares, peso y altura si es de un miembro de un equipo atlético, honores y concesiones recibidas, y nombres de padres o de tutores. Observe por favor la declaración siguiente del Departamento de Educación de E.U.: “Reconociendo los desafíos enfrentando a los reclutadores militares, el congreso aprobó recientemente la legislación que requiere que las escuelas secundarias proporcionen a los reclutadores militares, acceso a los estudiantes de la escuela secundaria e información del directorio sobre esos estudiantes. El acto de “No Child Left Behind” de 2001 y el acto de la autorización de la defensa nacional por el ejercicio económico 2002 reflejan estos requisitos. De acuerdo con esos actos, dan derecho a los reclutadores militares de recibir la lista de nombres y direcciones de los estudiantes del 11vo. y 12vo. ano”. Las fotos del los estudiante se convierten en parte de una base nacional de datos mantenida por la compañía de fotografía que la escuela ha seleccionado. Las compañías nos aseguran que esta información no está compartida para propósitos comerciales, solo como parte de un acuerdo con el Centro De Niños Perdidos y de Niños Explotados. Las fotos se pueden distribuir fácilmente por toda la nación en caso de que un niño este perdido. Sin embargo, si usted no quisiera que la foto de su niño(a) sea parte de esta base nacional de datos, pedimos que no participe el día que toman fotos en la escuela. La escuela mantendrá la foto del estudiante como parte de su archivo de registro permanente. Inicie la declaración que desea activar: _____ NO DOY permiso a GUHSD de lanzar ninguna información del directorio sobre mi niño(a). (Nombre, domicilio o numero de teléfono). _____ NO DOY permiso a GUHSD de publicar la fotografía de mi niño(a) en el anuario. _____ NO DOY permiso a GUHSD de lanzar ninguna información del directorio sobre mi niño(a) a un reclutador militar. Entiendo que esto anulara el derecho de participar en la Batería Vocacional de la Aptitud de las Fuerzas Armadas (ASVAB). Si el distrito escolar no recibe esta notificación de usted en el plazo de dos semanas del recibo de este aviso, asumirá que usted da permiso de compartir información del directorio de su niño. Asegúrese que la seguridad y el bienestar de su niño es nuestro interés primordial. Como en el pasado, seremos prudentes y cautelosos en nuestras prácticas con respecto a lo presente.
