5 5  Villa Park High School is committed to providing a safe environment for all students. The first step towards achieving this goal is to provide a process to identify all members of the Associated Student Body. All students receive an authentic I.D. card free of charge during registration. Students are expected to carry it with them at all times and must have it to check out textbooks and library books and to attend school activities (such as dances).  A unique VPHS ASB Card may be purchased for $60 at registration. This card will be distinct from an I.D. card, and it will provide valuable discounts during the school year. Funds raised through the sale of ASB Cards are used to finance a first-class activities program, including assemblies, spirit competitions, student recognition, and student handbook costs. In return for your help in financing the activities program, an ASB card provides you with major discounts during the year at dances, at home athletic events, at theatrical productions, and for purchasing of theyearbook.  The replacement cost for any I.D. card or binder reminder is $5. Replacements may be done in the Student Center during lunch or nutrition after payment in the Principal’s Office. If you withdraw from Villa Park High School you must turn in your ID card, otherwise you will be charged the replacement cost.

 The constitution of Villa Park High School establishes that an active Associated Student Body Government is involved in all aspects of campus programs and activities. The ASB Government consists of an Associated Student Body Cabinet, elected ASB Executive Board, elected Class Officers, Leadership appointed by the Activities Director, Class Councils appointed by the Officers, and the House Representatives.

 Students of OUSD have the right to exercise free expression, including the distribution of printed materials or petitions, and the wearing of buttons, badges, and other insignia. Expression shall be prohibited which is obscene, libelous, slanderous, or material which so incites students as to create a clear and present danger, or encourages the commission of unlawful acts on school premises or the violation of school regulations, or the substantial distribution of the orderly operation of the school. Posted signs, notices, bulletins, and/or announcements must first be approved by the Principal or designee.

 The Odyssey is Villa Park’s yearbook. The price will be announced in the fall during registration and ASB cardholders receive a discount.  The Oracle is Villa Park’s student news magazine that is distributed free ofcharge.

6  Villa Park High School offers several clubs that meet the diverse interests of students. All students are encouraged to sign up for clubs that interest them. Keep in mind that only chartered clubs may officially meet and function as a VPHS organization. To be chartered, a club is required to have a faculty sponsor, a club constitution, and a membership list. The charter has to be approved by the ASB Cabinet and by the House of Representatives. This charter must be kept on file in the Student Center at all times. Students interested in forming a club on campus should secure a teacher to act as an advisor and then contact the Student Organization Commissioner in the Student Center.  Club Rushes and Food Days are scheduled throughout the year. There can be no meeting or fund-raising until the club or organization is officially sanctioned and chartered. Secret fraternities, sororities, or clubs, wholly or partly formed by pupils attending public schools, are prohibited by State Law. The following 2017-2018 clubs have already been chartered and are open to membership. For more information, please drop by the Student Center to find out which teachers (advisers) supervise the clubs.

American Chemical Society LGBT+ Club Best Buddies Make-A-Wish California Scholarship Federation Medical Club Cause for Paws Music With A Heart Club Sandwich Robotics Club Club Unicef Red Cross Domestic Violence Awareness School Wide Assisted Learning Educators Rising Science and Engineering Fair Club Fellowship of Christian Athletes Science Olympiad Club French Club Sock It To Poverty German Club Spanish Club Interact spART Club Key Club Vietnamese Student Association

 Villa Park High School has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest assemblies in Orange County. Assemblies and Rallies are held at various times during the year. Consult the school calendar and announcements for dates and times. Rallies are done to highlight sports, games, or special events. Students are encouraged to show school spirit by cheering at the appropriate times. During assemblies and rallies, students are encouraged to have fun and expected to exhibit self-control. Good conduct at these functions helps to promote great rallies and exciting assemblies.

7  Most dances are for Villa Park High School students. Guests are permitted to attend formal and semi-formal dances with a VPHS student (with a completed photo guest permit). All VPHS students and guests are required to show a current ID/ASB Card to gain entrance to all dances. No other form of identification will be accepted.  Students without an ID/ASB Card will not be permitted into the dance, we reserve the right to refuse entrance to anyone at all school dances. School and district rules and regulations are in effect. Proper attire as determined by the administration is expected. If students leave the dance area, they will not be allowed to return.

 Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are assigned a counselor according to alphabetical distribution by last name upon entering VPHS. As educational advisors, counselors help students plan and adjust a program of study for high school. Students are encouraged to see their counselor to discuss concerns regarding school, graduation requirements, college choices and plans, work experience, or personal problems; counselors do all they can to ensure students’ confidentiality. Students may make appointments to see their counselor by completing a request form in the counseling office. Parents are invited and encouraged to communicate with the counselors as often as necessary to assure a truly cooperative effort. Parents are encouraged to make appointments by calling the Counseling Office. In addition, counselors handle discipline referrals and deal with students who have attendance or tardy problems.

Progress reports inform students and parents about academic progress before final grades are issued. A teacher will issue a progress report when it is evident that a student is failing or is in imminent danger of failing. Progress reports do not become part of the permanent record. They are mailed at each mid-quarter, which typically occurs mid- October, mid- December, early March, and mid-May.

Counselors provide college information through group presentations and individual appointments. Many helpful workshops are presented by the counselors each year

11 including Cal State and UC application seminars, and freshman study skills workshops. An Academic Bulletin is provided to each family. Scholarship information is published and posted each month on campus, and applications are available in the Counseling Office and Career Center.

National Honor Society: (N.H.S.): This organization allows for the recognition of students with a total GPA of 3.5 or above. Students must complete 25 hours of community service. California Scholarship Federation (C.S.F): This is an honor society for students with a 3.5 GPA or better who are enrolled in college preparatory classes. Applications for membership are accepted at the beginning of each semester and must be continually renewed. Graduating with Honors: Beginning with the class of 2008, students with a cumulative grade point average of 4.5-4.699 will be designated Magna Cum Laude, and students with a GPA of 4.7 and above will be designated Summa Cum Laude. Class ranking will no longer be determined. Boys’ State: Model government program sponsored by the American Legion. One junior boy and one junior girl are chosen by faculty nomination andvoting. Medallion Awards: Each department selects senior nominees. A maximum of four are recognized as the most outstanding graduates in the department. The awards are presented at an evening ceremony at the end of the year. Two Faculty Medallions are awarded to a senior boy and a senior girl who are selected by the faculty on the basis of scholarship, citizenship, leadership, and general contributions to the school. Student of the Month/Principal’s Recognition/Principal’s Honor Roll: Villa Park High School takes great pride in the academic, athletic, and service accomplishments of the student body. Each month students are identified by departments, administration, and student leadership. Students are recognized monthly through the efforts of the Commissioner of Recognition and the Principal. Recognition events include special luncheons where certificates are presented. Parents are encouraged to attend these events. Recognition ceremonies are followed up by press releases. Merit Scholarships: Sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The PSAT taken in the junior year serves as the basis for semifinalist selection. Finalists compete for scholarships from $250 to $6000

The Health Office is located adjacent to the Counseling Office. Students must have a pass from their teacher prior to reporting to the Health Office, except in an emergency, or during nutrition or lunch. Students should not use a cell phone or classroom phone to call parents prior to coming into the Health Office. Health Office personnel will call parents for students. Any on-campus injury must be reported immediately to the Health Office or a staff member. Any student with crutches or a wheelchair should check with Health Office before reporting to school. Medication is not permitted on campus unless it is prescribed by a doctor and a medication form is on file indicating the type of medication, dosage, and time to be taken. (See Health Clerk for paperwork.) Students with emergency medications, such as inhalers, may be allowed to self-administer with approval from health clerk and physician. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Students should be familiar with the evacuation route from each of their classrooms. OUSD emergency procedures require that students follow

12 all directions from school staff members. Should a disaster occur, all students would gather with their 2nd period class at the assigned designated place on the football field. Students are not allowed to leave the assembly area unless a parent or designated contact person arrives to pick them up or until the disaster and danger period is over. In the event of an emergency, parents are encouraged to visit the district website at www.orangeusd.org for updated information.

The library is open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. All textbooks, library books, and audio- visual materials are issued through the library. Textbooks are loaned to students for use during the school year. However, textbooks that are damaged, lost, or stolen will be paid for by the student. Transcripts will be held and/or registration will be delayed until payment for lost or damaged library materials or textbooks is received. Outstanding fines will prohibit students from participating in school activities, such as: Winter Formal, Prom, etc. Textbook Policy  You are responsible for keeping all textbooks and library materials in excellent condition.  Write your name on the inside front cover of your book. You are responsible for returning the same books that were issued to you.  DO NOT leave your textbooks in the classroom or unattended in a classroom, even if your teacher assures you it will be safe.  Students will be charged for any lost or damagedtextbook.  Cover your textbooks.

District fine policy applies to all textbooks and instructional materials. If you have any questions regarding this policy please see Mr. Gregory Smith, Villa Park High School Library Media Specialist. 714-628-4480

Students do not have a right to a locker. The school has a limited supply of lockers, which are issued as they become available. School-sold padlocks are required to secure the locker. There will be a $15 charge for each locker/padlock. When leaving VPHS, the student will be allowed to keep the padlock. Students enrolled in physical education will also be issued a PE locker, which will need a second school-issued padlock, costing an additional five dollars. Do not share your locker or your combination with anyone. Report locker problems to the Receptionist in the Principal’s Office. You are responsible for all school property issued to you and will be required to pay for any loss or damage to such property. Do not bring valuable items to school and never leave valuables in your lockers. Students are to complete a theft report form in the Counseling Office in the event of theft or vandalism. Lockers are the property of VPHS and are subject to search by school personnel at any time.

All items found on campus are held in the Counseling Office except for books, which are returned to the library. Students are encouraged not to bring valuables to school. A secure vault is located in the Counseling Office for storage of valuable items if they are brought for classroom activities.

The Villa Park High School PFSO is composed of volunteers who share two common goals: to be a line of communication between home and school, and to prove support for student education and activities. 13

13 As part of our effort to keep parents informed of their child’s progress, parents may view information about their child(ren) using the Parent Portal. By accessing the Parent Portal a parent may view progress reports, unofficial transcripts, attendance, class schedule, and progress towards graduation.

A parent may establish a Parent Portal account by going to the VPHS counseling office where they will be asked to show identification and provide an email address. This data is entered into our student data system and an email message is generated to your email account. This email contains the access code and instructions to register in the Parent Portal. Students may not initiate access to the Parent Portal.

Once an account has been established, he or she may go to www.orangeusd.org, click Parents and parent portal to sign in. If you have any questions about this process, please call the school office at (714) 532 – 8020, x6695.

All sports schedules and scores can be accessed at www.villaparkathletics.com

The dates for determining eligibility are established by the district. A 2.0 (“C” average) grade point average is the minimum requirement necessary to participate in extracurricular activities such as athletics, performing arts, and student government. Some specific student organizations may, through the constitution, require a higher G.P.A. for participation. Students with less than a 2.0 GPA will receive a one-quarter probationary period which is used to raise their GPA to a 2.0. If their GPA drops below a 2.0 the next quarter or any subsequent quarter, they will be ineligible until they earn a 2.0 in a later grading period.

The Villa Park High School Scholar-Athlete Program recognizes students playing competitive sports whose academic and athletic careers have been exemplary, whose personal standards and achievements are models to others, and who possess high levels of integrity, leadership, loyalty and sportsmanship. Scholar athletes will be determined in each sport using the following criteria: 1. Student athletes that have a cumulative GPA 3.5 (weighted) shall be recognized as a Scholar Athlete by a certificate acknowledging theirachievement.

2. At the varsity level, the Top Scholar Athlete for each sport will be the junior or senior student athlete, with the highest cumulative GPA (weighted) and he/she shall be recognized by a certificate and a patch (minimum of two seasons of participation in the sport, at least one being at the varsity level, required).

In planning a sports banquet, organizers are encouraged to recognize Scholar Athletes and the Top Scholar Athlete at the beginning of the presentations. The protocol reinforces the importance that Villa Park High School places on academic achievement for all of our students. 14

The primary goal of Villa Park High School is to provide an effective, comprehensive education for every student in a safe and orderly environment.

To obtain the most benefit from his/her education, a student needs to be present every day to participate in school and class activities. Students with good attendance records achieve higher grades, enjoy school more, are more successful in their pursuit of higher education, and are more employable after leaving school than those whose attendance is irregular. Students and parents should understand that even unavoidable absences can negatively impact student achievement.

Villa Park High School is a closed campus. The right to enter or leave campus is subject to approval and authorization. Visitors must report to the Principal’s office to obtain a visitor’s pass and temporary parking permit. Students may not leave without clearance from the attendance office.
