Greetings Dolphin Families,
We wanted to update you on a few important items taking effect immediately.
Tardies
Beginning Friday, Feb. 28, there will be a tardy lockout in every period. If students are late to their classes, they will be served an after-school detention to be served the following day. If students fail to show up for their after-school detentions, they will serve in-house suspension. First period tardies will be determined on a case-by-case basis. To ensure your student is not marked tardy, please check them in to the office for the tardy to be excused.
Beginning and End of Day
As a reminder and to ensure the safety of all students, our campus does not open until 7:30 am. Please refrain from dropping your student off on campus too early as there is no supervision provided prior to this time. Also, all students must leave campus immediately when the bell rings. Any student that remains on campus for a club, after-school activity, tutoring, etc. must report to their designated area immediately.
Fights and Physical Altercations
We value the safety of all students, faculty, and staff here at Greenspun JHS. We have updated our consequences surrounding fights and physical altercations. From this point forward, any student involved in a fight will be issued a 5-day suspension for the first offense, a 10-day suspension for the second offense, and a recommendation for an academic center or STAR-ON for the third offense. Any student caught filming fights will serve a 3-day in-house suspension consequence. Any student caught instigating fights or causing a campus disruption will serve a major consequence as well. Any student who engages in battery (one-sided fight) against a student or staff member will immediately be recommended for expulsion if the other party presses charges.
Social Media
Parents, please continue to monitor your student’s social media accounts on their phones, especially messaging apps your students may be utilizing. The minimum age to utilize these apps is 13 years old. Ensuring your student is using technology responsibly ensures the safety of all students.
We appreciate your support and please reach out to any of us if you have any questions.
Thank you,
The Greenspun JHS Administration Team
