Students at Logan High School conduct themselves in ways that show they can:

• Be Responsible
•  Be Respectful
• Be Involved

The following areas highlight specific examples of what it means to “Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Involved.”

Athletic Participation
Academics: To be eligible to participate in events sponsored by the Utah High School Activities Association, a student must maintain a 2.0 GPA and receive no more than one failing grade in the preceding quarter in which the student is participating*. Coaches have the right to establish a higher GPA standard and clearly articulate this to athletes and participants. If this is the case, then students must meet this higher standard to be eligible for that particular activity. Students must also be a full time student, which is defined at LHS as enrolled in six of eight classes. Student athletes must maintain a 2.0 GPA and not be failing more than one class during the quarter in which they are
participating, or they will be placed on probation. Every effort will be made to verify the accuracy of grades before probation is enacted.

• If a student is given an Incomplete (I) grade, the student will not be eligible until the grade is changed to a passing grade.

Citizenship: To be eligible to participate in events sponsored by the Utah High School Activities Association, a student must have an “H” or “S” citizenship grade in all courses.

Bullying and Harassment Policy
Logan High School is committed to the practice of eliminating any and all forms of harassment, including but not limited to, racial, gender, and sexual harassment, which are demeaning to students or school employees either at school or online, including social media. Disciplinary action will be taken against employees or students found in violation of this policy.

Complaints concerning violations of this policy may be reported in writing to an administrator or reported to the Title IX Compliance Officer, Melisa Richardson click to email.

The district Bullying policy can be found at the LCSD Webiste by clicking here.

Bus Behavior
Riding a bus is a privilege. Students are expected to adhere to all school and bus expectations and policies while riding a school bus. Failure to do so will result in a student’s suspension from riding the bus to and from school as well as other disciplinary consequences.

Cafeteria
Students should clean up after themselves by taking all trash to a trash bin. Students should respect those around them by keeping conversations at a noise level that doesn’t interfere with those around them.

Citizenship Policy
The Logan City School District and Logan High School mission is to ensure that all students leave our schools ready to create a positive future for themselves and their community. High school is a time for students to gain the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to reach this mission. As with all schools, LHS has a grading system that reflects a student’s academic knowledge. A student’s academic learning is supported by their behaviors that demonstrate a readiness to learn, responsibility, and respect, all of which are included in our definition of student citizenship. Because these behaviors contribute to each student’s success, students will earn a citizenship grade in every class. Citizenship grades will be determined using the chart below and will be based on absences, tardies, and missing assignments.

Class Time
Students are expected to be in class during class time. Students are welcome to be in the hallways during passing times, during a teacher supervised class break, or when given a hall pass from a teacher.

Discipline Policy
Inappropriate behavior by a student at Logan High School will be evaluated as to the seriousness of the offense. Consequences will be determined based on the seriousness of the offense and/or the student’s prior discipline record. Consequences may include but are not limited to: parent phone call, parent meeting, behavior contract, lunch detention, restitution, school service, in-school suspension, out of school suspension, police referral, district hearing, etc.

Fighting
Fighting, either physical or verbal, is prohibited to and from school, on school property, or at school sponsored events. A student shall not harass, threaten, or cause or attempt to cause physical injury to any student or to a school employee. Students are encouraged to seek the assistance of teachers, counselors, and administrators to resolve conflicts. If there is the opportunity to leave or avoid the
conflict, the student should do so to avoid further disciplinary action.

Spectator to Fighting
Watching a fight only encourages the conflict to escalate. Students who witness a fight should contact a staff member immediately. When instructed to disperse, failure to do so will result in a discipline referral for insubordination.

In School Suspension (ISS) – As deemed necessary by school administration, in-school suspension may be used as a discipline intervention.

Out of School Suspension (OSS) – When OSS is assigned, the student will be asked to leave the building until the completion of the assigned OSS time. While serving OSS, the student is not allowed to participate in or attend the school day
or school events on or away from campus. Students serving OSS are not allowed on any school district property until reinstated by administration during a meeting with a parent or guardian. OSS students found on any district property will be referred to law enforcement and will be trespassed.

•  Students who have been assigned OSS that continues from Friday to Monday will not be permitted to participate in any school activity over the weekend. If the assigned OSS time is completed by the end of the school day on Friday, then students may participate in the weekend activities.

Insubordination
Failure to respond appropriately to any reasonable request by an adult staff member will result in disciplinary action.

Profanity and/or Abusive Language
Profanity and/or abusive language is not an acceptable manner of expressing oneself. Use of profanity and/or abusive language will result in disciplinary action.

Electronic Equipment
During the school day, students are permitted to use cell phones during designated times, such as before and after school, lunch breaks, passing periods, or when authorized by the classroom teacher. Apart from these designated times, cell phones must remain out of sight and in silent mode. The use of cell phones is prohibited in classrooms, restrooms, and school offices unless otherwise authorized by a school employee. Cell phones must be placed in lockers, backpacks, or other locations away from students and their desks during tests and assessments. Headphones and other listening devices may only be used at the designated times when cell phone usage is allowed. Cell phone usage during permitted times should not disrupt the learning environment or infringe upon the rights of others. Cell phone usage must also comply with all requirements, including content restrictions, included in District policy FAB-Student Electronic Device Policy. In the event of an emergency, students may use their cell phones to contact parents/guardians or emergency services, following established procedures outlined by the school.

• Second Offense: For repeated violations, the student's cell phone will be confiscated, and a meeting will be scheduled with the student, parents/guardians, and school administration to discuss the consequences of continued non-compliance.

Student Due Process
Due process of law is founded on the constitutional rights of individuals. In order to ensure that due process is observed, the following procedures have been developed with regard to the administration of discipline at Logan High School:

• The basis of good discipline and the exercise of disciplinary authority are based on the concepts of consistency and fairness.
• Every effort shall be made by administrators and faculty members to resolve problems of students through effective utilization of school district resources in cooperation with the students and their parents or guardians.
• Every student shall be given an opportunity to contest facts and circumstances, which may lead to disciplinary action of that student, or to contest the appropriateness of that action imposed by any disciplinary authority at whatever level.
• Ordinary Discipline: Any student, parent or guardian of that student who believes that the ordinary disciplinary action taken against that student is unfair or unjust shall have the right of appeal to all echelons in the school district, including the Board of Trustees. This method of appeal begins with a conference with the teacher; then to the assistant principal or principal of the school involved; then to the central office; and, if satisfaction is not gained, then to the Board of Trustees.
• Suspension and Expulsion: In all instances of suspension and expulsion, the district shall follow the procedural rules and regulations that have been adopted by the Board of Trustees in accordance with the Utah Education Code and hearing procedures.
