JHCA-R Regulations For Open-Closed Campus Blocks and Open Lunch

[OPEN BLOCKS]

Seniors with a study hall during the day may have an OPEN period, defined as a period when a student is not scheduled for an academic class. A senior may be eligible if there are no D's or F's on their previous quarter's Report Card or Progress Report, whichever is most recent. To maintain this OPEN privilege, seniors must be good school citizens who meet the Civic and Social Expectations of the school's Mission Statement. The principal will develop written criteria that spell out civic and social expectations consistent with the school's mission statement which will be included as part of the permission form.

Parental Permission slips must be signed for ALL OPENS and the privilege will remain in place as long as the student's schedules, grades, and behavior meet the criteria. Students must sign out and enter and exit the building from a predetermined location, currently the lobby exit located at the front of the school.

Students may choose to not exercise their OPEN privilege at any time. When doing so, students are expected to go to their regularly scheduled study halls. Students who loiter about school or abuse the privilege may lose their OPEN privilege.

The lunch block is not considered an OPEN block unless that block is a study hall.

[OPEN LUNCH]

Seniors may have the OPEN LUNCH privilege, defined as privilege to leave school grounds during lunch period, with parental permission and no academic prerequisite. The privilege will remain in place as long as the student is a good school citizen who meets the Civic and Social Expectations as outlined in the school's Mission Statement. Should these expectations not be met, student may lose their OPEN LUNCH privilege.

The following conditions and consequences apply to both OPEN PERIODS and OPEN LUNCH:

These privileges may be suspended by the administration at any time due to dangerous road/weather conditions (ice, snow, etc.)

Only those who have these OPEN privileges may ride in the same car.

Suspension of the OPEN privilege will be the consequence for students who abuse the conditions or criteria set forth above.

A committee comprised of the president of the senior class, a school board member who serves as the SCLC Liaison, principal and superintendent will meet at the beginning of each school year to evaluate the success of this program and adjust the rules as needed.
