Rehabilitación (Rehabilitation Act).
El propósito de esta política es ofrecer un entorno escolar seguro,
estable y positivo para todos los alumnos y empleados, en el que los
alumnos tengan la oportunidad de asumir la responsabilidad personal
por su aprendizaje, conducta y buena ciudadanía.
Castigos Corporales y Restricciones Físicas Razonables:
Se prohíben los castigos corporales a los alumnos; sin embargo, el
personal de la escuela puede utilizar restricciones físicas razonables o
la fuerza si es necesario para proteger a una persona de un daño físico,
para sacar a un alumno violento o indisciplinado, o para evitar daños a
la propiedad.
Escuelas Seguras:
El Distrito Escolar de Salt Lake City prohíbe a los alumnos participar
en actos de violencia, intimidación, intimidación cibernética, acoso,
novatadas, represalias, agresión, mala conducta, utilización o posesión
de armas, conducta criminal o actividad pandillera, incluida la
posesión, utilización, portación o exhibición de todo tipo de atuendo o
forma de arreglo personal relacionado con pandillas. Estos actos están
prohibidos en todas las escuelas del Distrito Escolar de Salt Lake City,
en el recinto escolar, durante las actividades auspiciadas por la escuela,
o cuando los alumnos estén siendo transportados en vehículos
designados por el distrito. También se prohíbe la instigación por parte
de los alumnos, es decir, apoyar, alentar y ayudar en actividades que

La junta entiende que los miembros de ciertos grupos, tales como los
alumnos con discapacidad; los alumnos que son percibidos como
obesos; los alumnos que son, o son percibidos como, gay, lesbianas,
bisexuales o transexuales; los alumnos que son refugiados o
inmigrantes; y los alumnos sin techo, tienen mayores probabilidades de
convertirse en blanco de intimidación, intimidación cibernética, acoso o
novatadas. Para proteger mejor a todos los alumnos, cada escuela
tomará medidas específicas, como parte de su plan de disciplina, para
crear un entorno seguro y de contención para todos los grupos.
Además, cada escuela formulará y publicará un plan para enseñar
habilidades y estrategias para prevenir y responder a la intimidación,
intimidación cibernética, acoso, novatadas y represalias a fin de hacer
participar a la comunidad en la mejora del clima escolar.

Fines
The Salt Lake City School District Board of Education ensures that a
free education is provided to all district students in grades K-6. For

Board Policy P-7: Searches and Inspections
The Salt Lake City School District Board of Education protects against
loss of district and personal property and maintains safe, healthy work,
and learning environments for employees and students.
The purpose of this policy is to support healthy and safe environments
by notifying employees of the board’s expectation that laws and
policies will be followed consistently and that administrators are
responsible for maintaining proper order and control.
The board reserves the right for its supervisors to search and/or inspect
at any time any district property on district owned or leased premises,
including district vehicles, computers, mobile devices, the contents of
district owned lockers, storage areas, file cabinets, desks, and
workstations. Personal furniture such as a filing cabinet or mini
refrigerator brought by an employee will be treated as district property
when located on district property.
In addition, supervisors may search and/or inspect personal property,
such as vehicles, packages, briefcases, backpacks, electronic devices
and other containers, given reasonable suspicion that evidence of workrelated misconduct would be found and assuming the specific search is
reasonable and limited in scope.
District employees should understand that they have no reasonable
expectation of privacy at work and should conduct themselves
accordingly. In particular, district employees have no expectation of
privacy in their rooms or offices or the contents of those rooms or
offices.
District personnel will generally notify an employee before conducting
a search of work areas or personal belongings but may not always be
able to do so.
Employees are required to cooperate fully with and assist in such
investigations, if requested to do so.
If an employee refuses to promptly permit a search under this policy, or
if unauthorized items or those prohibited by district policy are found in
a search, the employee may be subject to discipline, up to and including
termination.
Board Policy I-16: Student Clubs-Equal Access Act
It is the policy of the Salt Lake City School District Board of Education
to maintain a limited open forum for clubs as outlined in this policy and
its associated administrative procedures.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure equal access to student clubs and
compliance with state and federal law.
School clubs are authorized in grades 7–12. School clubs are
curriculum related and sponsored by Salt Lake City School District
schools. They may receive leadership, direction, and support from the
school and the district.
Student clubs are authorized in grades 9–12, under state and federal
laws and regulations, only for the purpose of granting a place within the
school for students to meet during non-instructional time. Students
initiate student clubs. Their meetings, ideas, and activities are not
sponsored or endorsed in any way by Salt Lake City School District
Board of Education, the schools, or school district employees.

Board Policy I-18: Acceptable Student Use of Internet,
Computers, and Network Resources
The Salt Lake City School District Board of Education permits students
to have Internet access. In accordance with state and federal law, the
district utilizes available technology protection measures to restrict
students’ access to Internet or online sites that contain obscene or
inappropriate materials. However, on a global network it is impossible
to control all materials and an industrious student may discover
inappropriate information. The district requires all students to use the
district’s network resources in a responsible, ethical, polite, efficient,
and legal manner. To that end, teachers will instruct and supervise
students on responsible use of Internet resources and proper network
etiquette. A Responsible Use Contract must be signed by each student
and his or her parent or guardian, annually at registration.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure all students and parents
understand the rules and procedures that must be followed in order to
gain access to and use the district’s network resources. Use of the
district’s network resources is a privilege and may be revoked at any
time for failure to comply with this policy or its administrative
procedures.
The district will set forth its specific processes for implementing this
board policy through the accompanying administrative procedures.
Política de la Junta de Educación I-18: Utilización Aceptable de
Internet, Computadoras y Recursos de Red por Parte de los Alumnos
La Junta de Educación del Distrito Escolar de Salt Lake City permite a
los alumnos tener acceso a Internet. De acuerdo con las leyes estatales
y federales, el distrito utiliza medidas de protección de tecnología
disponibles para restringir el acceso de los alumnos a Internet o sitios
en línea que contienen materiales obscenos o inapropiados. Sin
embargo, en una red global es imposible controlar todos los materiales
y un alumno diligente puede descubrir información inadecuada. El
distrito requiere que todos los alumnos utilicen los recursos de red del
distrito en forma responsable, ética, cortés, eficiente y legal. Para tal
fin, los maestros informarán y supervisarán a los alumnos acerca de la
utilización responsable de los recursos de Internet y las
correspondientes reglas de etiqueta de la red. Cada alumno y su padre o
tutor deben firmar un Contrato de Utilización Responsable, anualmente
al momento de la inscripción.
El propósito de esta política es garantizar que todos los alumnos y los
padres comprendan las reglas y procedimientos que deben seguirse para
tener acceso y utilizar los recursos de red del distrito. La utilización de
los recursos de red del distrito es un privilegio y puede ser revocado en
cualquier momento por falta de cumplimiento de esta política o sus
correspondientes procedimientos administrativos.
El distrito establecerá un proceso específico para implementar esta
política de la junta a través de los procedimientos administrativos que
se acompañan.
SALT LAKE SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL SUMMARY
ANNUAL NOTICE
The Board of Education of the Salt Lake City School District has
adopted policies for student records and information management
consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA), 20 USC §1232g, 34 CFR Part 99, Protection of Pupil Rights
Amendment (PPRA), Elementary and Secondary Education Act, 20
USC §7165, 20 USC §7908, 10 USC §503, Utah Code §53A-13-301
through 302.
1. Student Records: Under FERPA, and Salt Lake City School District
policies, parents and legal guardians of students currently enrolled or
eligible students, those over the age of 18 years or who have been
emancipated, have the following specific rights:
a. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records
within 45 days of the day the district receives a request for access. If
you wish to exercise this right, you should submit to the school
principal or the principal's designee a written request that identifies the
record(s) you wish to inspect. The principal will make arrangements for
access and notify you of the time and place where the record(s) may be
inspected.
b. The right to request the amendment of the student's education
records that the parent, guardian, or eligible student believes are
inaccurate or misleading. If you wish to exercise this right, you should
write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record you
want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the
district decides not to amend the record as requested, the district will
notify you of the decision and advise you of your right to a hearing
regarding the request for amendment. Additional information about the
hearing procedures will be provided with notification of the right to a
hearing.
c. The right to give written consent before the district may disclose
personally identifiable information contained in the student's education
records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without
consent. Consent is not required for disclosures to “school officials
with legitimate educational interests.” A school official is a person
employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or
support staff member, including health or medical staff and law
enforcement unit personnel; a person serving on the board of education;
a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform
a special task, such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or
therapist; or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such
as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school
official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate
educational interest if the official needs to review an education record
in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Consent is not
required to disclose education records, including disciplinary records,
to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends
to enroll.
2. Directory Information: Salt Lake City School District may also
disclose appropriately designated directory information without prior
written consent, unless parents, guardians, or eligible students have
specifically requested, in writing, that such information not be
disclosed. Salt Lake City School District defines directory information
as the following:
a. Student's name, address, and telephone listing;
b. Participation in officially recognized activities and sports;
c. Weights and heights of members of athletic teams;
d. Dates of attendance;
e. Awards and honors;
f. School and grade level;
g. Photographs and other images.
Such information, which is generally not considered harmful or an
invasion of privacy if released, may appear on school or district
websites and social media sites, in school publications, and may be
disclosed to outside organizations. Examples of the use of directory
information include the following:
a. Student directories;
b. School yearbooks;
c. Team rosters and class lists;
d. Graduation, theatrical, athletic, and music programs;
e. Videos of performances, school activities, and athletic events;

RULES FOR STUDENT DISCIPLINE
The Salt Lake City School Board of Education has taken a stand in favor of strong, positive discipline within our schools. These
regulations, as well as others, will be reviewed by the administration, faculty, and student body representative each year.
TRUANCY
Policies of the Board of Education will be followed. Highland High has a truancy procedure which will be applied, based on District
policy.
POLICY ON CHEATING
It is the policy of Highland High School that cheating is a violation of the rules of this school.
We believe that the traditional values of honesty and ethics not only improve character but also improve the quality of each student’s
education.
It is therefore recommended that parents:
1. Emphasize that the most important measure of one’s education is what is learned rather than which grades the student
receives.
It is recommended that students realize:
1. The real value of integrity.
2. The final value of one’s education is what is learned and not what grade a student receives.
3. The rationalization that others are cheating gives no reason to cheat. This is damaging to both one’s education and character
development.
4. Instances of cheating/plagiarism will be investigated and may result in a failing grade, in-school suspension or other
consequences as deemed appropriate by administration.
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AND VANDALISM
It is the position of Highland High School that destruction of property and/or vandalism shall not be tolerated. A student found guilty of
property destruction may be immediately suspended from school pending a conference with parents and district officials. A student
found guilty of vandalism shall make full restitution for the damages, either in terms of fines or work opportunities.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE POLICY
The use of, possession of alcohol or drugs is prohibited on any school property, in any building owned or operated by the Board of
Education, or any activity sponsored by the school whether or not it is held on Salt Lake City School District property. Policies of the
Salt Lake City School District Board of Education will be followed at Highland High. A criminal offense charge may also be filed and
police action may result.
SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF DRUGS
A student who violates District Policy by selling or distributing drugs in any school, on school property, or within one thousand feet of
school property, at any activity sponsored by the school shall be subject to the same disciplinary action as a student involved in the use of
drugs. In addition, the school administrator, following consultation with the school Student Services Council, may recommend removal
from the school or expulsion, depending upon the severity of the case. A criminal offense charge may also be filed and police action may
result.
TOBACCO USE AND POSSESSION
The possession of tobacco by students under the age of 19 is against Utah State Law. Therefore, violators in schools, at school sponsored
activities, or on school grounds will be referred to student services and required to attend, with their parents, Insight cessation program.
Possession and/or use of tobacco in any form (cigarettes, chew, e-cigarettes, etc…) will result in disciplinary action as well as an SLCPD
citation.
HALL RULES AND SCHOOL POLICIES
Our primary purpose is to provide the best educational program possible. In order to do that, students must be in scheduled classes and on
time. Students who are late for class will be directed to report to the commons area to receive a late slip. Those who are more than
ten minutes late must check in at the attendance office. Students should be in their classes until the bell rings for dismissal.
Students who are in the halls without an appropriate hall pass or home excuse may be disciplined by school administration. They will be
readmitted when accompanied by a parent. Each suspension will require a parent conference with the school administration to be
readmitted.
1.
Teachers will be near their classroom doors during class changes to supervise the hall areas near their doorway. They will
encourage students to get to class on time.
2.
Students who are scheduled into work release/home release must leave the campus during those periods. Students scheduled
for Release Time must leave campus.
3.
Teachers may only excuse students from class with an official hall pass.
4.
Students will be encouraged to eat lunch in the commons or in the courtyard, if weather permits. The hallways where
classrooms are located are not appropriate for eating lunch. Those students will be directed to the commons.
5.
Students securing home excuses may wait near the Attendance Office for their transportation. They should have the home
excuse in their possession.
6.
After school students are allowed on campus only under the direct supervision of an adult. Students not under the direct
supervision of an adult in the building will be asked to leave.
7.
Students must not ride skateboards or similar devices/coasting vehicles inside the school (halls, classrooms,etc.). Student
must not ride skateboards or similar devices/coasting vehicles on the school grounds other than the use of transportation to
and from campus. Disruption or damage caused by skateboards or similar devices could receive a citation from SLCPD.
Students who violate this policy shall be penalized in the following manner.
a. First offense: Confiscation by a teacher or administrator of the device for the remainder of the school day.
b. Second offense: Confiscation by the administration of the prohibited device and returned to parent/guardian or possibly
for the remainder of the school year.
c. Students who refuse to cooperate with confiscation procedures may be suspended for willful disobedience and/or
defiance of school authority.
With the cooperation of students, teachers, and parents, the impact of this policy should help prevent a serious problem at Highland.
AFTER SCHOOL DETENTON AND TARDIES
Students are expected to be in class, on time, every day, (Tardiness is arrival to class after the late bell and before the first ten minutes of
class has ended without a legitimate excuse). Students in the halls after the Tardy Bell rings must report to Security for a Hall Sweep Pass.
Students Tardy to class are required to clear them by attending 15 minutes of After-School Detention for each tardy accumulated.
Academic help, tutoring, studying, etc. will always receive double credit toward tardy/truancy makeup.
Students will be assigned after school detention for tardiness, truancy and/or minor school rule infractions. Transportation will be
available for those who normally ride the school bus via the activity bus at 4:00 PM. Students who receive a tardy slip are required to
serve the detention on the same day the tardy occurred or time will multiply.
SEAT TIME RECOVERY
Seat time recovery is required for all absences excused or unexcused. Seat time accumulates after 3 absences in a class period over the
duration of one quarter. Seat time is carried over from year to year. Failing to recover missed seat time may result in not participating in
graduation ceremonies, delayed receipt of a yearbook or non-participation in school activities.
PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Any electronic devices such as portable stereos/speakers and headsets, cellular phones, ipods, and hand held game systems and related
technology shall not be allowed in classrooms unless expressed permission from the teacher is given. A teacher or administrator may
confiscate these items if they are in the classroom, or hallways. Speakers are not allowed to be used in hallways (unless approved and
supervised by a teacher / administrator) at any time and will be confiscated if seen or heard. A parent/ guardian will be required to pick up
the device from the Main Office. Phones may be used in lunchroom areas or outside during both lunches, but must be put away before
returning to classrooms.
