Students that make poor choices regarding minor disciplinary incidents, determined by administration, may be given at the discretion of administration the opportunity to complete Lunch Detention or Campus Beautification. This may consist of helping to clear campus of trash, helping set up or clean up campus events, helping the plant manager complete minor beautification projects, etc. Lunch Detention may be assigned for any student receiving a minor or major referral which include, but are not limited to, lack of dress code compliance, being in an unauthorized area, being in the halls past the three minute bell, running, not picking up one’s own trash, disruptions during break or lunch, or other infractions determined by administration.
Students that earn Administrative Detention for making poor choices have five school days from the date the detention was issued to complete their consequence. Students may serve detention after school any day it is offered within the five school days. Detentions are typically Monday through Thursday from 2:35 PM – 3:05 PM. It is the student’s responsibility to complete their detention on time, or to request an extension for excused reasons only from the Assistant Principal’s Secretary, prior to the deadline. As a courtesy and best practice, Orchard Hills will communicate with the student’s parent(s) / guardian(s) via phone or via a letter. All Administrative disciplinary letters will be sent to the address of record and through the student. Students failing to complete their detentions on time may be subject to being assigned additional detentions, On Campus Suspension, Home Suspension, or other disciplinary consequence for Defiance of Authority. Students with outstanding detention time may not participate in extra-curricular activities and student privileges including but not limited to sports, dances, ASB activities, field trips, end of the year privileges, etc.
Students who violate EC 48900 may earn On Campus Suspension in lieu of Home Suspension at the discretion of Administration. Students that qualify for On Campus Suspension may be allowed the opportunity to complete their suspension in the office. Students serving On Campus Suspension will be allowed to complete school assignments. Student serving On Campus Suspension are to report to the office at 7:30 AM on the first day of their On Campus Suspension with their textbooks, assignments, and reading book(s). Students serving On Campus Suspension must not talk to other students in the office or be disruptive in any way. Upon successful completion of their suspension in the office, their record will not reflect a formalized Home Suspension.
Students who violate EC 48900 may earn Home Suspension. Students may be suspended for one to five days based on the severity of the incident, the student’s prior disciplinary incidents, response to previous interventions, and the student’s citizenship. Students that are suspended from school may not return to any campus or school owned property located within the Tustin Unified School District during school or non-school hours, and on school or non-school days, including school activities, during the length of the suspension. While on suspension students may not loiter on public streets without adult supervision during regular school hours (7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.). Failure to abide by these rules is a violation of law which can be punished by arrest and/or incarceration in the Orange County Juvenile Hall or other appropriate law enforcement facility (California Penal Code, Sections 626.2, 626.4 and 653-g.). Teachers must be notified for a period of three years of all students suspended from school that are in their classes.
PBIS - Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support
Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (PBIS)
Orchard Hills student expectations are designed to promote student safety and develop traits of success. A student develops a positive self-image by making appropriate choices. Accepting responsibility for inappropriate choices is an integral part of the learning process. Guidelines at Orchard Hills are simple, fair, and specific with clearly defined rewards and consequences.
At Orchard Hills School all students will...
