Culver City High School

Rules & Expectations

Classroom Behavior

Every student and employee at Culver City High School has the right to learn and work in a safe environment that is conducive to learning. As educators, we are committed to providing quality lessons which are challenging and rewarding. Therefore, students are expected to be seated in the classroom, with all of the necessary materials, prepared for the lesson when the bells rings. It is the student’s responsibility to take advantage of the learning opportunities that are offered in each class. At no time, does a student have the right to take that opportunity away from their peers by engaging in behaviors that are disruptive to the learning environment. Each individual teacher may have additional expectations and consequences.

Electronic Devices

Students are strongly discouraged from, but may bring electronic devices (i.e., cell phones, iPods, MP3 players, CD players, as well as any and all other electronic devices) for use only before or after school, or in the case of a major catastrophe. In the event that students choose to bring electronic devices to school, CCHS is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen items. All electronic devices must be turned off during school hours. These devices had no educational value and are a disruption to the learning environment.

Public Displays of Affection

Administration, staff, and students agree that the school environment must be a place that is safe and comfortable for students to learn and staff to work. There are some actions that cross the line between the affection and more overt sexual behavior.

On campus and at school events there should be no:

Embracing while lying down.
Entanglement of legs.
Rubbing of private areas against another person.
Fondling of private areas.
Deep-throat kissing.

Cologne/ Perfume/ Fragrance Policy

We realize that students and staff like to wear cologne, perfume, and fragrant/scented products as a part of their personal grooming. However, it is a known fact that such products may be hazardous to one’s health. For asthmatics and people with allergies, fragrant and scented products can cause serious health problems. Students are encouraged to wear unscented products; however, if students choose to wear scented products to school, we request that they be applied with moderation. Students shall not spray or consciously cause to be placed upon any other student, teacher, or any school property or property of a student or teacher, any chemicals, colognes, perfumes, hair sprays, scented body lotions or scented deodorants, without the previous express permission of that student or teacher. Violation of this requirement shall be considered an attempt to cause physical injury, and thus be subject to suspension. We ask that all students refrain from applying cologne/perfume or any products with fragrance in the halls. If you need to apply any such products, please do so carefully outside in the open air.

Student ID Cards

Each student will be given one (1) official ID card at the beginning of the school year. A photo of the student is on this card. Students are required to carry the ID card during school hours and at school events and produce it at the request of any school personnel. There will be a $5.00 charge for the replacement of any ID card. Make-up ID cards must be purchased through Mrs. Fusillo, secretary to the Assistant Principal. The ID card is required in order to check out textbooks and library books in addition to requesting any school service in any office. Each student not carrying an ID card will be subject to disciplinary action.
