experience and encourage you to make the most of the opportunities available. In order to create a secure, positive

RESPECT for AUTHORITY
It is imperative that the teacher be in charge of the class. Anything less would lead to a poor academic opportunity for all.
Furthermore, every staff member will be treated with respect and dignity, just as the student will receive the respect of the
staff. Students are expected to conduct themselves appropriately by the time they have entered seventh grade. All staff
members have the authority and obligation to help maintain the rules and order of the school. A show of disrespect and
willful disobedience toward any staff member anywhere on campus or at school sponsored activities will not be tolerated.

Disciplinary actions will be taken to meet the specific
concerns related to violations of this agreement.
AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION (ASD):
After school detentions are held on Monday through Thursday from 2:45 – 3:30 p.m. Students are required to complete their
After School Detention (ASD) on the assigned day unless prior arrangements have been made by a parent request. Students
who do not show up for the assigned ASD will receive additional consequences.
Consequences for NOT attending assigned ASD:

1 additional ASD’s assigned
Second time:
Overnight Suspension –parent conference required for student to return to school.
Third time:
1 day ISS (In-School Suspension)
Fourth time:
1 Full Day Suspension – parent conference required for student to return to school.
All after school detentions assigned must have a parent contact. In the event a parent cannot be reached because of incorrect
phone numbers or no answer, the student will be overnight suspended with a parent conference required for the students return
to school the next day.
ASSEMBLY and PERFORMANCE CONDUCT
Students have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of entertaining and informative assemblies and school
performances. These include assemblies during school and performances held in the evening. Appropriate behavior is expected
at all school events. This includes no booing, whistling, or inappropriate remarks. Students should be respectful and courteous
in all assemblies. Administration may conclude an assembly or program any time student behavior is not appropriate. For all
evening performances, students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to attend.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Regular prompt attendance has a direct effect on what students learn. It is essential that all of our students attend every class
every day and that they are on time to those classes. Missing even a few minutes of class adds up to hours of missed
instruction and disrupts the learning of other students.
You can check your attendance through the Portal Login link on the Jefferson website (http://schools.graniteschools.org/
jeffersonjr) to make sure any absences have been excused.
The three types of school absences are as follows:
1) Excused Absences – Excused absence include the following: illness, medical emergencies, death of a family member
or close friend, or family activity or travel, consistent with district/school policy with a note or phone call from the
parent or guardian. A parent may excuse up to 7 full school days a year.
2) Unknown Absences – Unknown absences have not been excused and are considered truant until excused.
3) Truancy Absences – Truancy absences are absences that occur without school or parental approval. A teacher or
administration determines the consequences for a truancy absence.
Attendance Marks
The following marks are used on the attendance sheet:
2
(A) Unknown Absence
(C) Court
(D) Discipline (ISS)
(E) Excused by parent
(F) Funeral
(M) Medical (Doctor or Counselor)
(O) Correction made
(R) School Release (field trips, etc.)
(T) Tardy
(U) Unexcused Truancy
(V) Vacation
ATTENDANCE POLICY - ALL DAY ABSENCES
An all day absence should be phoned in to the school on the day of the absence by the parent before 9:30 A.M. The number
for the Counseling/Attendance Office is 385-646-5196. If no phone call is made, the student must provide the Attendance
Office with a written note upon his/her return to school. The note must be signed by the parent, have the date of the absence,
and state the reason for the absence. If a note is not provided, the absence will be considered unexcused. You have two weeks
from the day of the absence to bring an excuse note to the counseling center. After the two week period, the absence will
remain unexcused.
ATTENDANCE POLICY - CHECKING IN LATE
Students who arrive after the 7:50 A.M. tardy bell must check in at the Hall Sweep in the Commons Area. If a student arrives
after 8:00 A.M. they must check in at the Counseling Center. All students must have a WRITTEN excuse from their parent
when checking in late (even 1 minute) or they will be considered part of the Hall Sweep. NOTE: We do not accept excuses
over the phone for students who arrive late – they must have a written note.
The written excuse must contain the following:
• First and last name of student
• Date and Time checking in
• Parent Signature/Reason for being late
• Phone number where parent can be reached
Any student checking in without a note will be given unexcused absences for the periods they have missed. Students who
check in without a note have one day to bring a written note to excuse their late check in. Any student who misses a class or
classes and does not have a note from a parent or teacher will be considered as truant.

ATTENDANCE POLICY - SCHOOL HOURS
School begins at 7:50 A.M. and ends at 2:45 P.M. (Monday – Thursday). School ends at 12:30 P.M. on Friday. Early
release days on Friday are designed to allow teachers to collaborate about curriculum and instruction.
• Students are not to be in the halls, at their lockers, or anywhere else in the building (outside the commons areas)
until the bell rings at 7:30 A.M., unless they are under the direct supervision of an adult school staff member.
Breakfast is served at 7:20 A.M.
• Students should be out of the building by 2:55 on Monday- Thursday and 12:40 on Fridays.
ATTENDANCE POLICY - STUDENT CHECK-OUT
For the safety of our students, parents will need to come IN to the Counseling Center and personally sign out their
students if they wish to release them early during the school day. A telephone call alone will not suffice. Students should be
released only to their parents or guardians. Parents: If you know you will be picking your child up early, you may notify the
Counseling Center that morning and we will try to have the student waiting for you in the office. The parent will still need to
come into the office to officially sign out the student.
ATTENDANCE POLICY - TARDY POLICY
All students have a responsibility to be on time to school and each class period. You have 5 minutes to get from class to class,
please use this time wisely to get to your next class prepared. Students are expected to be in the classroom when the tardy bell
rings. We will have HALL SWEEPS each period, including advisory. Teachers will be standing in the doorway and will shut
the door when the bell finishes ringing. Any student not in the classroom at this time will be required to go to the commons
area for an admit note. Teachers will not admit a student to class without an admittance or excused tardy note. (If a student has
a parent excuse for being tardy and they come in during a hall sweep, they may check in at the hall sweep or at the counseling
center.) Students will be given a clean slate each quarter.

secured appropriately to the bike rack. Students may not chain or secure bicycles to trees or other items. Students who secure
bicycles to areas other than bike racks will have the chain cut and their bicycles impounded.

counseling, and career choices. Counselors may also arrange conferences with students, teachers and parents if requested.
They also conduct SEOP conferences with students and parents during the school year.

the school or at corners with traffic lights. Neighborhood streets should be crossed at crosswalks or street intersections
when marked crosswalks are not available.
• Please don’t horseplay, push or shove other students off the sidewalk into the streets.
• Traffic is heavy on 5600 West and students should use caution, crossing only at the crosswalk (located in front of the
school) with the crossing guards and crossing light.

immediately to school administration. Weapons or any safe school violation may be reported on the Safety Hotline at
801-481-7199. Callers remain anonymous.
SCHEDULE CHANGE POLICY
Just because things are not going well in a particular class does not mean it is time to bail out. However, the school recognizes
that unusual circumstances may, at times, require a schedule change. Five dollars will be charged for any class change that
does not qualify in the following categories - (A) an incomplete schedule or (B) an inappropriate placement has been made.
Any changes must be requested by a parent and approved by a counselor or administrator. Optional schedule change requests

the student attend new classes.
SKATEBOARDS, SCOOTERS, and ROLLER BLADES
Skateboards, scooters, and roller blades may not be ridden on school grounds. Lockers are not large enough to hold these items
and they should be left at home. Any of these items used inside school or on school grounds will be confiscated and parents
will have to report to the school to collect them during our regular office hours.
VISITORS
Parents and guardians are invited and encouraged to visit Jefferson Jr. High; however, we do not allow other visitors, family

be on school grounds before, during, or after the regular school day. Students who violate this policy may receive a trespassing
ticket from the Salt Lake County Sheriff Office.
CARE CARDS REWARD PROGRAM
Students who exhibit good citizenship, academics, and real-life skills will be rewarded with CARE Cards for their efforts.
CARE Cards can be used to buy supplies, games, treats, etc. at the CARE Card store during their lunchtime. As students use
these cards at the store they will be eligible for weekly drawings and for large quarterly activities. CARE Cards are given for
good grades on report cards by Advisory teachers and randomly by all school staff for students following these school wide
expectations.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGE
The administration retains the right, privilege, and obligation to issue disciplinary consequences not specifically stated herein
and to alter any penalties as they consider necessary in order to maintain an environment conducive to learning and safety.
Furthermore, the administration reserves the right to alter any provision in this planner which they deem to be in the best
interest of the educational process or in the interest of student and staff safety.
