Desert Hot Springs has five elementary schools, two middle schools, a comprehensive high school, and an alternative education program. As part of ensuring a quality education for the students within Desert Hot Springs, policies have been unified to provide consistent expectations for our students in meeting the goals of the Palm Springs Unified School District as described by the PSUSD Mission Statement. PSUSD Mission Statement Students will graduate prepared and motivated to succeed in their choice of career and higher education and to contribute to the common good. The PSUSD Desert Hot Springs Common Parent Handbook The PSUSD Desert Hot Springs Common Parent Handbook represents the common school policies shared by the nine schools within Desert Hot Springs. The policies and structures described within this handbook are developed through the collaborative work done by the Page 6 schools within Desert Hot Springs. Policies align with California Education Code, PSUSD Board Policies, and best practices at the school sites. The policies contained within this Parent Handbook apply to Desert Hot Springs High School, Edward L. Wenzlaff Education Center, Desert Springs Middle School, Painted Hills Middle School, Bella Vista Elementary School, Bubbling Wells Elementary School, Cabot Yerxa Elementary School, Julius Corsini Elementary School, and Two Bunch Palms Elementary School. Parent Handbooks are distributed at the beginning of each school year and upon enrollment at a school site. Additional copies of the Parent Handbook can be requested from each school site office during the school year. Questions regarding the Parent Handbook can be directed to the administration office at any of the PSUSD Desert Hot Springs school sites.

Parents found to be in violation of the attendance laws can be fined per day because the student is truant. The definition of “truancy” is any student who is absent or tardy from school without a valid excuse. Students who are tardy in excess of 30 minutes on any three days, in one school year, will be considered truant. Attendance interventions will be put into place for students who become classified as truant. Excessive early dismissals will also be given this classification. The compulsory attendance laws of the State of California determine whether or not an absence may be excused. Please call the school office on the day of absence, submit the online form where available, or send a note to explain the absence. State law requires schools to have communication from the home for each absence. Reasons for absences must be reported and verified within two weeks of the date of absence. If absences, tardy notations, and truancy become excessive, a family will need to attend a School Attendance Review Team (SART) meeting with site administration or designee. Should attendance not improve following the SART meeting, a SART meeting is missed by a family, or the attendance issues are considered egregious, the case will be referred to the Palm Springs Unified School District School Attendance Review Board (SARB) for further action. Parents of students who have habitual absences, regardless of reason, may be referred to the Riverside County District Attorney by the Child Welfare and Attendance Office. Page 8 Please remember that when you arrive late or pick up your child early it disrupts the entire class. Making every effort to have your child in school on time, every day, all day is one of the greatest contributions a parent can make to their child’s education. The compulsory attendance laws of the State of California determine whether or not an absence may be excused. The only reasons for absences to be excused are: 1. Illness (doctor’s note is required for absences of more than three days) 2. Quarantine by health officer 3. Medical, dental, optometric, or chiropractic services for the student 4. Funeral for a member of the immediate family Assignments for absences and Short Term Independent Study (STIS) Palm Springs Unified School District mandates if a child is absent for five or more days, the child’s parents sign a Short-Term Independent Study Plan Contract to ensure the education process is continued during the extended absence. Please inform the office one week prior to the start of the proposed Short-Term Independent Study period. Parents of students absent due to illness for three or more consecutive days may request assignments through the office. Teachers will make every effort to respond to the request by the following day. Students and parents should contact their school site for more information. Leaving Campus During School Hours Once students arrive, they may not leave the campus until dismissal except for a legally excused reason. Parents are urged to make every effort to schedule doctor or dental appointments during non-school hours. When early dismissal is necessary, a parent or guardian must come into the office to sign the release for a student and document the reason for the early removal from school. Completion of the early excusal form is required for early release. The person escorting the student from school grounds must be on the emergency form and must show valid identification. Early Dismissal Students should remain at school for the entire instructional day. In the event of an emergency or medical appointment a student may leave school early. Parents must present identification and complete a release form prior to signing out their child. No student will be released early to any adult without the presentation of identification in the office. Students will not be released within the 15 minutes prior to dismissal due to security reasons. Excessive early dismissals will result in referral to the district SARB process regarding attendance. Student dress code Page 9 All schools enforce the Palm Springs Unified School District’s Dress Code Policy. Students will be required to follow the dress code listed below at all times. Students should come to school properly prepared for participation in the educational process. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to site administration. Appropriateness of any clothing item will be determined at the discretion of site administration. See PSUSD Dress Code for more information. 1. Shoes must be worn at all times. Sandals must have heel straps. Flip-flops, backless shoes, or sandals are not acceptable. 2. Clothing, jewelry, and personal items (backpacks, fanny packs, gym bags, water bottles etc.) shall be free of writing, pictures or any other insignia which are crude, vulgar, profane, or sexually suggestive, which bear drug, alcohol, or tobacco company advertising, promotions and likenesses, or which advocate racial, ethnic, or religious prejudice. 3. Hats, caps, and other head coverings shall not be worn indoors. At the elementary schools, plain caps may be worn correctly at recess to protect students from the sun. For middle and high schools, acceptable wear policies need to be verified with the school site. Hats are not to be worn inside any building on school grounds per PSUSD dress code. Hat wearing privileges may be revoked for any student at any time at the discretion of site administration per Palm Springs Unified School District Board Policy 5132. 4. Clothes shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments at all times. See-through or fish-net fabrics, halter tops, off-the-shoulder or low-cut tops, bare midriffs and skirts or shorts shorter than mid-thigh are prohibited. 5. Pajamas and swimsuits and excessively baggy pants are not permitted. 6. Glasses must be appropriate for the classroom setting; prescription sunglasses which are prescribed for indoor use may be worn in class. Other types of sunglasses may be worn on campus outside of class. 7. Do-rags, hairnets, and bandanas are not permitted. 8. Hair shall be clean and neatly groomed. Hair shall not be sprayed with a coloring that will drip when wet. The importance of parent participation in preventing gang violence cannot be emphasized enough. A “no-nonsense” attitude has been adopted by staff and administration to keep our schools safe and orderly. Students who may not be involved with gangs may be mistakenly associated with them by the clothing they wear. Therefore, decisions regarding acceptable dress will be made consistently and equitably on campus. Styles of clothing may vary from school to school, and may change from year to year. Consequently, prior to disallowing the wearing or displaying of the questionable clothing, each school reserves the right to make the determination that particular styles may, in fact, disrupt the educational environment. Page 10 Violation of the dress code may warrant one or more of the following actions: parents/guardians being notified, students being sent home, shirts being loaned to students in lieu of inappropriate attire, and/or shirts being worn inside-out or covered with an outer garment. Student Identification Cards All students attending Desert Hot Springs middle and high schools must be in possession of their school-issued student identification card at all times while they are on campus. Policies regarding the displaying of student identification cards are site specific. Please direct any questions regarding identification cards to the school site office. Student Discipline Students are held responsible for their actions. If a student continues to exhibit unacceptable behavior at school, corrective alternatives will be considered that may include suspension from school. This includes any and all actions taking place from the time that the student leaves home until they return home in a timely manner following completion of the school day. Interventions to support appropriate student behavior might include but not limited to: ● Counseling by the classroom teacher, another teacher, school counselor, or administrator. ● Loss of privileges (e.g. loss of recess, assemblies, etc.) and/or assignment of added responsibility. ● Required participation in a structured behavior plan. Each plan will be customized to the specific need of the student in question. ● Referral to a Student Success Team to review concerns and to develop a structure for student improvement. Things to remember… ● Students are to stay in their assigned grade level areas. Safety cannot be monitored for students leaving their designated areas without permission. ● Students will show respect for others, use good manners, play fair, and use acceptable language, and follow the directions of all school personnel. ● Students will keep their hands, feet, and objects to themselves. Generally, when a problem exists, parents will have received at least one contact from the school before suspending a student. Under California Education Code 48900, the following offenses are grounds for suspension and/or expulsion from school. Students may be suspended or expelled upon the first incident for the offenses listed in sections a-e.

While it does not appear as a subject, it underlies the whole educational structure. It is the training that develops self-control, character, orderliness, and efficiency. It is the key to good conduct and proper consideration for other people. Students are expected to follow acceptable standards of good behavior and to demonstrate good citizenship at all times. Our policies include programs of rewards and honors for appropriate behavior. Students who are unable to follow these standards will receive consequences for their actions.

The item (if feasible) will be removed and may be discarded by staff or retained for parent pick-up from the office. Visitor Policies Parent/Guardian visitors are welcome at our schools. Students benefit in many ways from parent involvement. The following is a guide to ensure successful visits for parents, teachers, and students. Page 16 ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Please do not drop in for an unscheduled classroom visit. Please call the teacher to make arrangements for the date and time of your visit. For conferences or discussion regarding your child, please arrange for a conference time that will not interfere with classroom instruction. All visitors must sign in at the school office before going to a classroom. A badge or pass will be provided to allow access on campus. The pass/badge must be visibly displayed. Visitors may not bring children with them while they are visiting a class during instructional time. Classroom visits should be limited to 60 minutes or less unless other arrangements have been made with site administration. All visitors must wear appropriate shirts and shoes while on campus. Inappropriate attire or behavior, as determined by administration, may be a reason to deny access to the school grounds. Parents, students, and visitors to all schools within Desert Hot Springs are expected to comply with and follow all PSUSD and school rules. Safety is a primary focus of school site staff. Rules and regulations are in place to ensure that students are in an environment that is safe and orderly. Therefore, all individuals on campus are asked to comply with the requests and directions given by school personnel during their visit. Individuals determined by site administration as acting in an inappropriate manner will be asked to leave school grounds.

Questions about this policy can be directed to the school Principal. Student Illness or Injury If your child becomes ill or injured at school, the school will contact you to pick up your child for your own observation or examination by your family physician. If we cannot reach a parent and or guardian, the student will be discharged to a person named on the emergency card. Ill or injured students cannot remain at school. Under emergency circumstances, the school may contact emergency services to tend to the child. It is important for parents to keep medical emergency cards up to date in case a parent or designated alternate adult needs to be called. A Permit to Leave School will be issued before the student leaves campus. Students are not allowed to leave campus without authorization from a parent/guardian AND the school. Page 17 Breakfast/Lunch Conduct Throughout Desert Hot Springs schools, proper student conduct is expected during breakfast and lunch periods. General rules are as follows: ● Students are to sit in designated and approved locations. ● Students are to clean up all trash and debris after eating. ● Students should eat their own food and not share with others. ● Students are expected to act safely, responsibly, and respectfully with adults and peers. ● Once dismissed from the eating area, students must remain in designated areas through the completion of the breakfast or lunch period. Rules for cafeteria conduct are posted at each site. Rules regarding mealtimes are reviewed with students throughout the school year. Playground and Blacktop Rules For elementary school playgrounds and secondary school blacktop areas, rules must be followed to ensure student safety. Supervision is provided in these areas to monitor student interaction. General rules regarding playground and blacktop areas are as follows: ● Students must stay in designated areas for all playground and blacktop usage times. ● Students must follow all directions from supervisory staff (security, supervision aides, teachers, etc.). ● Playground and blacktop equipment must be used in a safe and appropriate manner. Unsafe use of playground or blacktop materials will result in behavior management through progressive discipline. ● Respectful conduct is expected between all students at all times. Conflicts and disagreements must be brought to the attention of supervisory staff immediately. Rules and policies specific to each school due to the configuration and structures in playgrounds and blacktop areas are reviewed regularly with students. Please speak with administration office staff or your child’s teacher with questions regarding site specific rules. Arrival at School Students must not arrive at school prior to the opening of the school site gates. Supervision is not available at any school site until the designated opening time. Students should enter campus upon arrival and not linger outside the gates. Parents are responsible for getting children to school on time. When a student is tardy he/she disturbs the rest of the class and misses part of the instructional program. Students arriving after the designated start time will be considered tardy and must check-in at the office. Tardiness is documented and may be cause for a referral to School Attendance Review Team (SART) or School Attendance Review Board (SARB) meetings. Page 18 Student Dismissal During student dismissal, safety is of primary concern. Following all school staff directives and dismissal plans is vital to ensuring the safety of students, family members, and staff. Students will not be released from any DHS school site 15 minutes prior to dismissal. When picking up a child, remember to: ● Park in appropriate places to walk and meet your child. ● Pick your child up at the curb per the plan issued by your child’s school site. Please pull forward along the curb to pick up your student in any loading zones. ● Parking in the loading zone or handicap parking spaces is prohibited and can result in a citation and fine. Handicap parking is designated for cars with displayed placards only. ● Crosswalks are expected to be used when crossing the street. Do not allow your child to cross in front of or between any vehicles. Parent support in demonstrating use of crosswalks is appreciated. ● Avoid blocking any crossing area. ● Demonstrate courtesy and safe driving while on or near our school grounds. ● Students must be picked up within 15 minutes of the dismissal bell. ● Students who have after school programs (such as interventions, clubs, or athletics) must report to their designated activity immediately following the school day. ● Children waiting at school 30 minutes after dismissal may be placed in the custody of Desert Hot Springs Police. Late pickups are monitored by the main office. Excessive late pickups will lead to SART or Child Protective Services referrals. Emergency Cards and Information Each year parents/guardians must complete a new emergency card, which is filed in the school office. It is imperative that the school office be kept informed of all changes of address or telephone number(s). Current addresses assure delivery of information from the District Office, important notices, etc. Current telephone numbers enable the school to contact parents or guardians for emergency purposes, to clear absences, Cards orEmergency other circumstances as needed. Please inform the office any time there is a change in the basic information or a change in emergency contact persons authorized to make decisions in emergency situations. It is essential that the information on the card is kept current. Current and accurate information is necessary to contact parents in times of student need. In an emergency, parents/guardians will be the first person called. When parents/guardians are unavailable, the emergency numbers will be used. If you or the emergency contacts cannot be Page 19 reached, the only option is to use site administrator judgment in obtaining medical attention for a seriously ill or injured child. Emergency Situations In the event of an emergency situation, students will be moved to a safe assembly area. Parents arriving to pick up students will report to a check-in location. Parents will not be allowed in the Emergency Assembly Area. A staff member will take a name request from the parent and send for the student. Parents will be required to show government issued identification during emergency pick-up routines. This process is intentionally somewhat slow and methodical, allowing the school to ensure student safety throughout the process. Communication from the school will be authorized by PSUSD and made to parents once student safety has been assured. No communication will originate from the school site until such authorization has been granted. Parents must not enter campus during emergency events, as this can compromise student safety. Parent patience during emergency situations is appreciated. Digital Citizenship: Technology and Internet Usage Palm Springs Unified School District has stringent policies regarding the appropriate use of technology and internet access. All students have the opportunity to access programs and information from the internet. Parent permission via signed consent and student training is required before access is granted. Teacher training and monitoring policies and procedures are in place. Violations of acceptable and instructional use of district provided technology or internet access will result in loss of technology privileges and possible further consequences through progressive discipline processes. Unapproved personal technology usage may lead to consequences regarding further use of site technology resources.

Students and parents should contact their counselor for more information. ADVANCED PLACEMENT/HONORS COURSES/COLLEGE COURSES Students who want an academic challenge to better prepare for education beyond high school should strongly consider taking Honors and Advanced Placement courses. AP classes prepare students to take the College Exams in May. If the exam is passed with a score of 3, 4, or 5, most institutions of higher education will award the passing grade as the equivalent of course work completed and give college units (check your intended college for specifics) saving money and time in college. There is a fee for each AP test you take. Summer reading assignments vary for A.P. classes and are available for pick up the week prior to the close of school. The AP teacher‟s plans one event prior to the last week of school in June to discuss their specific classes, expectations, requirements and summer homework. Students enrolled into the Honors and/or AP classes will need to attend this event. Summer homework counts for roughly 10% of the overall course grade and builds the foundational structure for the beginning of the course. DHSHS also offers several college classes for which students receive both high school and college credit. See your counselor for more information.

It is the student‟s responsibility to cover all textbooks and maintain them in good condition. Charges will be levied for lost or damaged books. When a book with prior damage is issued, the damage is noted in the margin of the book so that the new owner will not be charged for existing damage. If the book is damaged and not marked, a student should report this immediately. Books not returned by the deadline will be considered lost and the students will be charged. Outstanding textbook fees can affect students obtaining their diploma upon graduating. TEXTBOOKS CHECKED OUT TO A STUDENT SHOULD NOT BE LEFT IN THE CLASSROOM FOR ANY REASON!

Page 31 BULLYING Reconocemos que la creación de un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro es una parte fundamental de ayudar a cada niño a lograr el éxito académico. Sprigeo es un nuevo sistema en línea que los estudiantes pueden utilizar para reportar incidentes de intimidación y amenazas de seguridad escolar. Sprigeo le dará a su hijo/a otro medio para comunicarse con nuestra administración de la escuela en que la intimidación o incidentes de seguridad escolar se produzcan. Toda la información enviada a través del sistema Sprigeo va directamente a los administradores de escuelas a través de una conexión en línea segura. Los estudiantes pueden acceder al formulario de presentación de informes directamente a través de un enlace en nuestro sitio web de la escuela o pueden ir al sitio web Sprigeo.com. Después de completar el formulario de notificación y haciendo clic en el botón "enviar", los detalles del informe son enviados en un correo electrónico seguro a nuestros administradores de la escuela. Más del 90% de los estudiantes incluyen su nombre cuando utilizan el sistema de Sprigeo. Pero también pueden presentar denuncias anónimas si se sienten más cómodos. LEYES SOBRE LABOR DE MENORES Y PERMISOS DE TRABAJO Los estudiantes que necesiten un permiso de trabajo deberán ir con Srta. Emery en el centro de planificación de carreras (Career Center). Cualquier estudiante que este empleado y sea menor de 18 años debe tener un permiso de trabajo (Código Educativo 12765). La ley estatal requiere que menores de edad que trabajan deberán asistir regularmente a la escuela por un tiempo mínimo de cuatro horas diarias. Todos los permisos de trabajo vencen a los cinco días después de que comience el año escolar. Una nueva solicitud de permiso de trabajo debe ser completado incluso si continua en el mismo lugar de trabajo. Los estudiantes deben tener un promedio de "C" y buena asistencia. Las calificaciones recibidas el semestre anterior deben cumplir con la norma o no se dará permiso de trabajo en la próxima sesión de inscripción.

ATTENDANCE AND TARDY POLICIES Absence Policy Page 45 Student attendance at school is mandated by the State of California. Students who are continually absent cannot benefit from regular school instruction. For a list of excused absences and penalties for nonattendance see the Palm Springs Unified School District Parent/Student Information booklet. (Ed code 48205) Absence Procedure 1. To have an absence cleared, we must receive notice from a parent or guardian. Parents/guardians may either call the Attendance Office or send a note with the name of their child, the reason for the absence, the date(s) of absence, and parent signature. A parent or guardian may call the Attendance Office: A-L: (760) 288-7011, M-Z: (760) 288-7012. 2. If a student is ill for more than five (5) consecutive days, a doctor‟s verification will be required to clear the absence and may be required for subsequent absences. 3. Parents may request homework for their student for extended absences (usually an absence of three days or more). Prior to making the homework request in the office please check Parent VUE on the website to see if the teacher has homework posted. If there is nothing on the website you can contact the Attendance Office to request homework. Please allow 48 hours for the teachers to prepare the homework and forward it to the Attendance Office. A parent or guardian may call the Attendance Office at (760) 288-7011 (A-L), (760) 288-7012 (M-Z). 4. Students who must leave campus any time after their arrival must receive an “Off Campus Passport” from the Attendance Office. Parent permission may be given either in writing or by telephone but must be received prior to the student‟s dismissal. Any student leaving without the required passport cannot clear his/her attendance and the absence will be noted as a truancy, with the student being subject to a citation. 5. A student who is 18 years old or older may sign himself/herself out or excuse his/her absences with parent authorization. Students acting on their own behalf will be held to the strictest attendance standards. When signing out a student early, allow yourselves at least 20 minutes to pick up the student. 6. Excessive absences and tardies can prevent a student from participating in school activities. Three tardies equal 1 unexcused absent. Student Sign Out Procedure A Parent/guardian or persons previously authorized by parents must sign students out in the attendance office if a student is leaving campus during regular school hours. Emergency contacts are for use when parents cannot be reached in an extreme emergency. Students CAN NOT be released to emergency contacts WITHOUT parent‟s authorization. Tardy Policy and Procedures Students arriving late to campus must go to the attendance windows for a pass to class. According to California Ed. Code (48260) a student that is late to class 30 minutes or less is considered tardy. Students arriving late to class by 30 minutes or more are considered truant. Excessive absences and tardies can prevent a student from participating in school activities, 3 tardies equal 1 unexcused absent. Students who are habitually tardy or truant are subject to disciplinary action Page 46 If a student has already reported to 1st period and then is late (tardy) to 2nd – 6th period, the student must report to their appropriate class, not the attendance window. Students are subject to the teacher‟s classroom tardy policy. All students with unscheduled periods/classes MUST leave campus after their last scheduled class unless they are approved to be on campus for official school business. If a student remains on campus without approval, they will be subject to disciplinary actions.

El permiso del padre se puede dar por escrito o por teléfono, pero debe ser recibido antes de la salida del estudiante. Cualquier estudiante que salga sin el pasaporte requerido no podrá limpiar su asistencia y la ausencia será señalada como injustificada, y el estudiante está sujeto a una multa. 5. Un estudiante de 18 años de edad o mayor puede firmar por sí mismo para salir fuera, o excusar sus ausencias con autorización de los padres. Los estudiantes que actúen en su propio nombre serán sujetos a las más estrictas normas de asistencia.
