Student Conduct
At Roseville High School, our goal is to help every student actively progress toward earning a high school diploma and graduate ready to continue their post-secondary education. And, we encourage our students to participate in as many school activities as possible, especially the graduation ceremony. Student Conduct exists as a means of helping students understand that diminishing academic effort, poor school attendance, inappropriate behavior, or bad decision making can result in loss of privileges or failing to earn a high school diploma and ultimately missing the graduation ceremony.

Grading and Report Cards
Grading Policy: Students may obtain a copy of the Board Grading Policy from the counselors. A student must receive approval from the counselor prior to taking a college course in order for an additional class to be placed on the transcript.
Grade Reports: Report Cards are issued every 4 1/2 weeks. A grade of incomplete (I) is issued for extended illness, justifiable absences or extenuating circumstances. Incompletes must be made up within 15 working days after the end of the report period for which the grade is assigned. Progress grade reports are issued four weeks prior to the end of each grading period.
Academic Integrity
Our learning environment promotes a climate in which honesty, courtesy, responsibility, integrity and a concern for others and self are highly valued. Cheating and any form of plagiarism is an obstacle to this goal and unacceptable. The teachers’ professional judgment will determine whether cheating has occurred and appropriate consequences.
Attendance
Emergency Cards: All students are required to have a signed and completed current emergency card on file in the nurse’s office. Students can only be released to names indicated on the emergency card.
Absence Procedures: Students must bring a valid note from the parent within three days to clear an absence. This note should be written in ink and must include date note was written, first and last name of student, date and time of the total absence, reason for the absence, signature of parent or guardian and home and/or work number. An admit will be issued by the attendance office upon receipt of the note. An absence that is not cleared within three days will become a truancy. Forgery of a note or any other school document will result in school consequences. Board Policy 5000 requires that students with excess of 10 absences will be required to provide a note from a doctor.
Absences and Makeup Work: Any student who is absent from school for reasons other than a period or day truancy shall have an opportunity to either make up work in advance or complete missed assignments and tests after readmission (Board Policy 5121.2). A student must present an admit to each teacher to qualify for makeup work.
Students shall have time that is equal to the number of days absent to complete class assignments following their readmission to school and official school verification of the following excused absences: family emergency, illness and medical appointments.
Students may complete work before, during or after their readmission at the teacher’s choice of time for the following approved absences: family/personal business, field trips, college visitation, religious holidays, court appearance and suspension. A student who is aware in advance of an approved absence is responsible for contacting the teachers for the makeup work prior to the absence. Makeup work is allowed following a suspension.
The attendance personnel will determine the category of any absence not included in the above categories. If an absence is deemed unexcused, previously assigned work is due on the original due date and any makeup work is due upon readmission.
Teachers may designate certain assignments as “long-term projects” which shall be submitted on the assigned due date regardless of students being absent. All written materials must be submitted by the required due date. However, oral presentations will be subject to the same makeup provision as for regular assignments. Long-term projects are those assignments which exceed a three week period, have written requirements
provided to the students and an established due date.
Teachers have the discretion of extending the due dates for makeup work. A parent may call the attendance office to request schoolwork if a student will be absent three or more days. A student or parent may file a petition with the school absentee grading review team when there is an extenuating reason that should provide the student more makeup time.
Closed Campus: Roseville High School has a closed campus. Students must remain on the school grounds from the time of arrival in the morning, until departure after school, including lunch periods.

Permission to Leave the Campus: Prior to leaving campus students must be obtain a Special Pass from the office. SPECIALS may be obtained from the attendance office or the nurse’s office. Permission must be granted by a parent, guardian or person indicated on the emergency card. Failure to secure a SPECIAL prior to leaving will result in a truancy and school consequences.
Truancy Policy: A truancy is an absence unauthorized by school or parent, an unauthorized departure from class, or a failure to clear absences within 3 days. No make-up work is allowed. A student with 3 or more unauthorized absences will be declared habitually truant. Habitually truant students will receive disciplinary consequences that may include: Saturday School, suspension, Letter of Conditional Enrollment or Administrative Transfer. Students may also be referred to Placer County Student Attendance Mediation Board (SAM) and/or law enforcement for a citation.
