STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
GHHS Summer OGT Remediation/Credit Recovery has adopted a code of conduct. Violations of school rules and regulations, during the time a student is under the auspices of school personnel and/or authorized volunteers, may result in disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, the removal from OGT remediation without tuition refund and the student will not be able to sit for the test. The kinds of misconduct likely to result in this consequence are included in the attached Student Code of Conduct and must be signed and returned with the registration.
GARFIELD HEIGHTS HIGH SCHOOL IS A CLOSED CAMPUS. Students may not leave the building without permission, for any reason. Any student leaving the building without permission may be subject to removal from the OGT remediation program without refund or the ability to test.
ATTENDANCE
Because the State standards govern the number of hours a student must be in class to sit for the test, daily attendance is mandatory.
ILLNESS/INJURY
If any student becomes ill, the school will attempt to notify parents/guardians to make any necessary arrangements. Serious illness or injuries will be reported to 911.
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
Any school that does not have appropriate student behavior will not operate effectively. Good student behavior is everyone’s responsibility. This means that students, teachers, administrators and parents have an important part in developing proper attitudes and behaviors. It is extremely important for students to take responsibility for their actions.
A violation in any of the following areas may result in a suspension from the OGT remediation program.
