ACADEMIC INFORMATION

The Continuation High School is an educational option for students to participate in a high school diploma program designed for students whose needs are not being met in a comprehensive high school. The characteristics of the typical continuation school include smaller class size, an individualized open-entry/open-exit program, and a competency-based  curriculum.   As a continuation school, Oak Glen’s students may be enrolled for credit recovery (credit deficiency) or have been placed on an Involuntary Transfer (disciplinary action). Those who enroll at Oak Glen are usually 16 years old or older, and voluntarily choose to attend this school because they and their parents appreciate the unique opportunities that Oak Glen makes possible and Oak Glen provides “a second chance” for many students.

If a transfer to Oak Glen is recommended, both the administrator, counselor, and the parents sign an Alternative Placement Student Recommendation Form, which is reviewed by the Alternative Placement Committee (A.P.C.). No student placement will be considered by the A.P.C. without parent approval. You will be notified by phone when final approval is given for the transfer and a “welcome conference” will be scheduled for the student and parent to attend Oak Glen.

The counselor at Oak Glen provides vital and necessary services for students and our parents. As an integral part of the educational process, counselors seek to help each student to develop positive attitudes and personal dignity, and to accept the responsibilities and challenges required in a changing and complex society. Counseling services are provided that develop and support the educational plans and goals including awareness of potential careers for all students. Each trimester, our counselor will be meeting with students to audit their transcript and review their progress toward graduation as well as  help plan post high school opportunities.  

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Valley Center-Pauma Unified School District is dedicated to your child’s academic achievement and success; however, we do need your help!  Please support your child, as well as our efforts, by getting your student to school on time, every day.  By understanding that Every Day Counts, together we can give your student the opportunity to access their academic potential.

The Valley Center-Pauma Unified School District has instituted changes to attendance procedures and policies. Please note the following:

• Per Education Code 48260 and 48260.5 any pupil between the ages of 6-16 years of age is subject to compulsory full-time education who is absent from school three full days or more without a valid excuse as defined by California Education Code, within one school year, is truant. In continuing efforts to work with families and students, the district will declare a student truant after five unexcused absences and the first truancy notification will be sent home. Each subsequent unexcused absence will be considered truancy. Click here to read the full VCPUSD Parent/Student Handbook for details on what constitutes excused and unexcused absences.

• When a student is absent, it is necessary for parents/guardians to phone the school office the day of the absence or send a note with the student on the day of return to school. Parents/Guardians must notify the school within three (3) school days (72 hours) of the last day of the student’s return to school. The note should include the reason for the absence and date(s) of absence. Absences remaining unverified after three (3) school days will be recorded as unexcused. 

• When a student has had ten (10) excused absences in the school year for illness that have been verified by the parent, any further absences for illness shall be verified by a physician or by bringing the student to the school nurse, health clerk, or designee on day of illness.

Absences

Daily attendance is one of the most important factors in students’ success at Oak Glen High School.  Compulsory attendance laws require that parents send their children to school.  All absences due to illness and/or doctor/dentist appointments must be verified by a telephone call or written note from doctor/dentist, parent/guardian to excuse the student. The state no longer funds schools for days on which a student is absent, even if the absence is legitimately excused.

• When a student has 5 unexcused absences, the student will be declared a truant, at this point the student is referred to the Attendance Review Board.  Once a student is declared a truant, the student and parent must conference with the Counselor and the Principal for additional attendance support. Any subsequent unexcused absences, additionally, SARB process proceeds as applicable.

• Truancies will result in a Parent/Student conference with the Counselor, Principal and  Director of Student Attendance and Discipline. Students with excessive truancies will receive a school and district attendance letter.

VCPUSD PROCEDURES FOR RELEASING STUDENTS (Closed Campus)

No student is to leave campus directly from a classroom without being signed out by the parent/guardian. As an additional safety measure for our campus, Oak Glen will ask that all visitors present a picture ID to our front office for verification via our RAPTOR system.

Valley Center-Pauma Unified School District has a closed campus policy. Students may not leave the school grounds without special permission from the office. In the event that it becomes necessary for a student to be taken out of school, the parent must call for the student at the office and sign the student out.  Students will only be released to persons listed on the Emergency/Disaster Contact Information form. Emergency contacts may be updated by parents/guardians online through the Parent Portal on Infinite Campus or by written request to the school office.

If you student must leave campus during the school day:

• Verification from a parent/Guardian is required before a student leaves campus.
• Students must have an off-campus pass with time of departure from the attendance or health office.
• Upon returning, students must check in at the Attendance Office.
• Students who need to leave campus because they have become ill must sign out through the Front Office.
• If a student leaves campus without an off campus pass the student’s parent will be notified immediately.
• Please make every effort to contact the attendance office as early as possible to report a student absence.

Tardies

If you arrive late to school, the tardiness must be excused within 24 hours, (parents cannot clear tardies between classes).  Failure to be on time to any class, without prior approval, will result in parent notification.

Visitors to Campus

Our school is a closed campus.  Outside students, for reasons of safety and liability, are not permitted on campus unless prior permission has been obtained from the Principal.  Any outside adult seeking to contact or pick up a student must check in at the office for authorization.

Bussing/Transportation

Bussing to and from school is available to all students attending the Valley Center-Pauma Unified School District schools.  Parents must apply for bussing prior to their child riding the bus.

Transportation Application: All students who will use District Transportation will need to complete an application. Students must be registered for bussing prior to arriving at the bus stop and boarding a bus. The website is available at  vcpusd.org. DO NOT USE THE APP, YOU MUST USE THE WEBSITE.  If you have questions regarding transportation, please contact our Transportation department via email: TR@vcpusd.org or phone at 760-749-6382.

There is no ride sharing on buses.  Your child must ride the bus assigned to him/her. Due to limited space, students are not to ride home on another bus or go with another student on another bus, unless authorized by the transportation with prior approval.

Students must go directly to the buses as soon as they are dismissed from school.

All school rules also apply on the school bus. The privilege of riding the bus to school and from school may be revoked if safety rules are not observed.

Counseling Support Services

Oak Glen counselor, Ms. Corrine Matthew, assists students in a variety of ways:

• Counseling services are available to help students with academic/educational questions/concerns, personal concerns, social emotional well being, middle school/high school planning, and college/career questions/concerns.  
• The counselor is available to meet with students before school, after school, during breaks, lunch times or by appointment.  
• Any student wishing to see the school counselor should sign-up for an appointment in the office or email matthew.co@vcpusd.org.

Our counselor provides a variety of services to our students, parents and families.  They are available to students for social emotional well being, peer mediations/concerns, academic assistance/support, educational planning and mental health concerns.

Some of the types of services include but are not limited to:

• Providing referrals and information on community resources
• Meet with students regarding academic planning
• Assist students regarding personal and/or social concerns
• Providing information for high school planning

Students are welcome to see the counselor at any time.

Meal Program (Nutrition Information)

Beginning in School Year (SY) 2022–23, California will become the first state to implement a statewide Universal Meals Program for schoolchildren. California’s Universal Meals Program (Universal Meals) is designed to build on the foundations of the federal National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP). As such, all enrolled students in the Valley Center-Pauma Unified school are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2023-24 school year. No further action is

required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.

Oak Glen students will be escorted to the VCHS campus nutrition window for school meals.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND CODE OF CONDUCT

Holding Oak Glen High School Students To a Higher Standard

The entire Oak Glen High School staff is committed to establishing and maintaining appropriate student behavior.  The staff values a safe, orderly environment because it allows a focus on student learning.  A warm social climate is established because staff members treat students as individuals while supporting their academic goals.  

Students are expected to follow these basic concepts of:

• Respect Your Learning  
• Respect Yourself    
• Respect Each Other    
• Respect This Place

POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT

Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) is a proactive approach for teaching and rewarding positive student behavior on campus. Oak Glen focuses on students being respectful, responsible, safe, and scholarly. Staff and students have created a matrix of expected behaviors in all areas of campus, plus on the school bus. Expected behaviors are taught and reviewed continuously throughout the school year. A variety of support structures and interventions are put in place based on individual student needs.

Academic Honesty

Honest behavior is an expectation for all students in the VAlley Center-Pauma Unified School District.  The purpose of the following guidelines is to create and maintain an ethical academic atmosphere.  Academic honesty is applicable to all course work that is done in any class and applies to in-seat and online classes.

Specific types of academic dishonesty, which will not be tolerated, are defined below:

Plagiarism includes the misuse of published material, electronic material, and/or the work of other students. The original writer who intentionally shares his/her paper for another to copy, without the permission of the teacher, is also engaged in plagiarism.

Cell Phones, and Electronic  Devices BP 5131.8

Mobile Communication Devices

Mobile Communication Devices Students’ use of personally owned devices on campus is subject to the approval of District staff. District staff may restrict student use of personally owned devices as necessary to support student learning or prevent disruption  to the school environment.

Students in grades 9-12 may use cell phones, smartphones, smart watches or other mobile communication devices on campus during non-instructional time as long as the device is utilized in accordance with law, this board policy and in accordance with BP 6163.4 Student Use of Technology.

Mobile communication devices shall be turned off during instructional time. School sites do not allow personal mobile communication devices to be used or visible during instructional time, instructional time is defined as any time during which a student is scheduled to a class period and includes both inside and outside of a physical classroom space such as a physical education class and when a student is outside of the physical classroom space. Site administration at schools serving students in grades 9-12 may determine that devices may not be used at any time during the school day to better support student learning or prevent disruption to the school environment.

• It is illegal to record any person without prior consent of the principal.  Ed Code 51512. Students may be suspended as per Ed Code.

Please Note:  Oak Glen High School personnel will not be held liable for items brought to school that are confiscated.  Valuables should stay at home.

District Issued Chromebooks

We know that technology access is essential to our educational environment and promotes learning in the classroom.  Students are issued a district Chromebook as an educational tool.  Therefore, we expect our students to care for their Chromebook and other school issued materials/items,  to demonstrate responsibility with their use, and to be courteous and make good choices when using any technology on campus.

Guidelines:  

• The school district loans each student attending VCPUSD schools, a Chromebook, for use during the school year. Student textbooks are embedded in the Chromebook and students also use this device for classwork, homework, their school calendar, and daily agenda.
• Given that the Chromebook is a major school tool for your student’s education, here is information regarding the district issued Chromebook (Technology):

• Students must bring the Chromebook to school every day, fully charged and ready to use.
• The Chromebook must remain in the district-provided protective case at all times.
• The Chromebook remains the property of VCPUSD.
• The purchase of Technology insurance is highly recommended--available for $25.00 a year in case of Chromebook damage or loss. The insurance covers the cost of damage to the Chromebook  itself. Insurance does not cover the cost to the charging cable, block, and case cover if lost or damaged.

• Insurance does not carry over into the next year if not used. If insurance is used during the school year, it must be purchased again for continuous coverage.

• If a Chromebook is lost, stolen, damaged, or not returned as requested, the parent/guardian will be responsible to pay for repairs or replacement costs.
• When using the Internet, always be appropriate. All searches with district-issued  both at school and at home, are monitored by the district.
• Photos/videos may only be taken with a teacher’s permission as related to a class assignment, and also require the permission of any person featured in the photo/video.
• Screenshots may only be taken at the direction of the teacher. Screenshots of any school work--including quizzes or tests, is strictly forbidden as this could result in academic dishonesty.
• Any violation of District issued Chromebook (Technology) use policies may result in disciplinary action.
• If a Chromebook is damaged or suspected lost or stolen, a report must be immediately made to the school library clerk. A sheriff’s report must also be filed for a lost/stolen iPad. Once reported, if a missing iPad is not located, the student is still liable.

Dress Culture

OGHS dress standards are designed to promote student safety and ensure that students are free from the threats of harmful influence of any groups or gangs that advocate drug use or disruptive behavior.  The administration of OGHS therefore prohibits the wearing, use, possession, distribution, display, presence of any apparel, jewelry, emblem, badge, symbol, sign, accessory, manner of grooming, or notebook that by its arrangement, color, trademark or any other attribute, is recognized or in any way denotes membership or affiliation with any gang.

The following types of dress may create a safety hazard or disrupt the educational process at Oak Glen High School and are prohibited:

Students are prohibited from throwing any object at other students or into a crowd of students.

SUSPENSION FROM SCHOOL

For serious disciplinary infractions outlined in California Education Code 48900, a school administrator may suspend a student from school.  Such home suspension means the student will not attend school for the length of the suspension (maximum of five days at any one time.)  The student is to remain at home during school hours and may not attend any school-sponsored activities such as sporting events, dances or plays.  All schoolwork missed during this time may be made up.  Parents are notified annually as to Due Process Rights.
