Athletic/Extra-Curricular Eligibility

To be eligible for participation in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, all students in performing groups, including but not limited to band, chorus, drama, athletics, and cheerleading, must meet the following academic requirements:
1. During each grading period, students must attain a 2.0 grade point average in all enrolled courses on a 4.0 scale.
2. Accounting of eligibility will be on the day of school-wide distribution of grades. At Westview the grades that will be counted for eligibility are every nine weeks.
3. If students do not attain a 2.0 grade point average, they may be placed on academic probation. At the end of the probationary period, students who do not bring their grades up to a 2.0 grade point average, will be ineligible to participate for the following grading period. Summer grades may be included to improve Spring term grades. A student may only be placed on probation once during their freshman year and once during the subsequent three years.
4. All CIF eligibility rules still apply.
5. For the purpose of determining grade point average, all incompletes shall be computed as F's until the incomplete is changed to a letter grade. At that point, grade point average will be recalculated using the grade(s) earned.
6. Students who are absent from school all day will not be allowed to practice after school and/or not allowed to participate in any games on that day.
7. Students must attend at least four hours of class (2 classes) to be able to participate in practice or a contest on that day. Participation is contingent upon satisfactory discipline and attendance records.

Attendance Procedures

Attendance at Westview will be cleared through the Homeroom Advisor. This will ensure that the attendance procedure is approached from a personal standpoint rather than by an inanimate system. A parent/guardian must CALL the Homeroom Advisor within 24 hours of the absence to clear the absence. Call the main school number (858-780-2000) well before school starts and at the prompt, enter the HR teacher’s four digit extension.

The HR teacher will clear the absence, and when appropriate, prepare an off-campus pass for the student to leave campus. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain the pass from their HR teacher prior to leaving campus. Calls made for Tuesday and/or Thursday to clear all day absences or early releases for doctor/dentist appointments should also be directed to the HR teacher.

However, there may be times when you leave a message and the absence will not be cleared due to technical problems or teacher absence. If you receive an automated message telling you that your child has an unexcused absence, and you believe the message to be in error because you already left a message for the teacher, the problem can quickly be resolved by contacting our attendance secretary at (858) 780-2000 ext 3060.

Any student arriving late to school will proceed directly to their assigned class.

Bus Information/Passes

Dance Guidelines

School rules will be observed throughout the entire dance.

• Students may be subject to a random Breathalyzer check

• Student ID is required for dance entrance

• Purses and coats may be subject to search

• No food or drinks may be brought into dance

• Students are encouraged to stay at the dance until the end

• Once a student leaves the dance, he or she may not return

School dress code will be strictly enforced at the door.

• Remember to fully cover the 3 B’s (breasts, buttocks, and bellies)

• Extreme cutouts and side slits are not acceptable

Students are not permitted to display inappropriate or sexually explicit dancing.

• Freaking is defined as sexually explicit dancing including grinding, groping, or inappropriate hand placement

• Dancers must be vertical when dancing with a partner

Students will receive a wristband when checking into the dance.

If a student is found to be dancing in violation of the above guidelines, an administrator will cut off and keep the wristband as a warning. If student is found to be dancing inappropriately again and no wristband is on his or her wrist, the administrator will call the student’s parents and the student will immediately leave the dance.

If a student is asked to leave a dance, he or she will not be permitted to attend any of the remaining dances for the remainder of the school year.

Students must have the Dance Guidelines form on file in order to purchase a dance ticket. Dance tickets will be sold during Wolverine time and lunch in the finance office before each dance. If a guest pass is needed, a guest application will be required. Rules and regulations regarding guest passes are explained on the application.

Once the Dance Guidelines form is completed and on file, it is good for the entire school year.

Discipline

In class offenses: Teacher will take care of minor infractions.

Repeat offenses: Teacher will contact parent and notify Homeroom Advisor.

Out of class offenses/chronic offenders: Refer to Area Administrator.

Electronic Devices

Items such as cell phones, iPods, cameras, walkman, MP3 players, etc., may be brought on to campus at your own risk. Security and administrative personnel will not conduct any investigation into stolen property.

Email Addresses of Westview Families

Communication is a key component of Westview’s vision statement and is essential in creating a connection between your home and Westview.

Westview uses email to disseminate information regarding school activities, as well as changes in the school days/times, assessment, scheduling, etc. Teachers also use email as one of their tools in communicating with you regarding your child. Because this is one of Westview’s primary means of communicating, it is important that the email address on file at Westview is one that the parent/guardian accesses.
