Dear Parents and Students:
Welcome to Red Bluff Joint Union High School District! I am proud to be part of a community that supports
the learning of all. As your superintendent, it is my goal to provide all students with the “Spartan
Experience”. For over 100 years, RBJUHSD has been preparing our students for the challenges of life and
providing them with experiences they can carry with them to college, career, and beyond. What is the
“Spartan Experience”? It is:
STRONG ACADEMICS
With a wide variety of A-G, Advanced Placement, Career Technical Education, and intervention courses,
students have a number of options to choose from when developing a pathway. Our administration,
counselors, and teachers will work with parents and students in identifying those pathways, and tracking
each student’s progress as they move along.
SAFE ENVIRONMENT
The district places an emphasis on positive relationships. We understand the high school years can be very
challenging, emotionally as well as educationally. When a student makes a positive connection with an
adult, their opportunity of academic success will increase. Our goal is to make a connection with every
student, every day.
CHOICES IN ATHLETICS AND ACTIVITIES
It is important that students be involved. RBJUHSD offers a number of extra –curricular activities and
athletic teams. Much of the “Spartan Experience” is making connections with other students. Team sports
and activities is a great way to make that happen. We want our athletes to be committed to teamwork and a
lifestyle that will keep them strong and healthy.
Our Band and Choir programs are outstanding, often taking high marks in competitions and festivals. Events
such as “Mr. Spartan” are well attended by the community, and very popular, as it showcases the talents of
our students and teachers.
The Agriculture Program is vital to our community. Future Farmers of America (FFA) is a highly successful
program with a resourceful farming facility. These programs promote working relationships that will lead to
a successful career pathway.
Finally, our goal is to provide this experience with enthusiasm, commitment, and accountability.
Enjoy your “Spartan Experience”!
Sincerely, Todd A. Brose, Superintendent

GRADING AND GRADUATION
Each high school conducts an annual graduation exercise for students who meet District and State graduation
requirements. Only students who wish to participate in the program are obliged to do so; however, all students who
participate must conform to school regulations. Graduation is a privilege, not a right. Students who graduate mid-year may
participate in the June graduation by contacting their school at least two months prior to the scheduled ceremonies. Fees
for caps, gowns and diploma covers are charged to students and all participants must be clothed in caps and gowns. Due
to limited seating, each graduate is issued a limited number of tickets for guest attendance.
Grading and Report Cards
For the purposes of establishing a student's grade point average and his/her rank in the class, all courses taken,
including physical education and work experience, will be computed on an A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=O scale. This
average is computed for each student at the end of each quarter.
The District's policy regarding weighted GPAs is designed to closely mirror the accepted practices at colleges and
universities. (Freshman year classes do not qualify for weighted grades.) Students will have an additional grade point
awarded for courses designated as Advanced Placement that are specifically preparing students to take an AP exam.
-Incomplete Grades: Students may receive an incomplete grade when a teacher determines that assignments, tests,
projects or other requirements of the course have not been completed by the end of the grading period due to extenuating
circumstances. Incomplete grades must be made up within 10 days from the date the grades were posted or they will
become "F" grades.
Red Bluff Union High School District informs parents of the progress of all students. Grades are recorded in the
permanent records on a semester basis. First, second, fourth and fifth grade reports are considered progress reports and
are also considered for athletic eligibility. Report cards are issued six times during the school year. With this information,
parents can help the student raise his/her grade to passing by the end of the semester. Parent and teacher conferences
are encouraged to minimize the possibility of failure by the student. Parents may wish to have their student do weekly or
monthly progress checks with teachers to monitor student progress. Arrangements for progress reports can be made by
contacting the student's counselor. Parents are encouraged to contact teachers directly if they have questions about a
student's progress. Voice mail for every teacher is available at each high school and e-mail addresses are on the district
website at http://rbhs.rbhsd.org/.
Web access to a student's information is available to parents. To access this information, go to http://rbhs.rbhsd. org/
and click on Parent/Student Portal. Follow the instructions to sign up for an account. You will need to have your student's
Permanent ID, Home Phone and Verification Passcode in order to set up the account. Contact your school for this
information.
General Requirements
• Five units of credit are earned when a student passes one class for one semester.
• Credit requirements must be met prior to graduation to participate in graduation exercises.
Seven Period Attendance
All students are required to maintain a seven-period day. Administration may waive one or two periods of this
requirement for seniors only, if the student will meet graduation requirements on a reduced day, has citizenship and
attendance that meet administrative approval, and does the following:
• Completes a college course
• Has at least a 2.5 cumulative grade point average
Math graduation requirement: All students must earn 30 math credits. Ten of these credits must be earned in Integrated Math 1 to meet the California
State Minimum Requirement. When a student begins 9th grade in an advanced math class (Integrated Math 2 or Algebra
2), the student will receive credit to satisfy the Integrated Math 1 requirement.
10
In addition, all students must complete 10 additional credits from the following list during their senior year:
CAHSEE Math
Integrated Math 2
Algebra 2
Math Analysis
Probability/Statistics
AP Calculus
Shasta College Math 14
or
Recordkeeping
Personal Finance/Business Finance
Ag Welding (all levels) Metals 1 and 2
CTE Auto (2 period class)
AP Physics
Computer Aided Drafting
Woods 1 and 2
Physical Education
• Freshman P.E. is required of all students for graduation- no waivers and no exceptions.
• Students not passing the Physical Fitness Test in the 9th grade are required to enroll in a district approved physical
education course the following year.
• Extracurricular sports cannot be used for credit during the freshman year.
• For the second year requirement, beginning in the 1Oth grade, the Principal may allow up to 10 units of credit for P.E.
for students who participate in a RBHS team sport. The Principal may waive 5 credits of PE per sport completed.
One full year of band also waives 5 credits of P.E. One full year of dance waives 10 credits of P.E.
• Students cannot get initial credit for P.E. during Summer School.
Community Service
RBHS requires all students participate in Community Service activities prior to graduation. The purpose of the
Community Service program is to involve students in learning activities outside of the classroom, to prepare
students for success after high school, and to strengthen students' ties to the community through volunteerism.
Community Service activities should provide a needed service to a group of individuals who are in need and/or
the community at large. Students may not be paid for their hours of service or receive any other form of
compensation (gifts, stipends, discounts, etc.).
A Community Service form to document hours can be acquired from the CTE Office. If you are unsure your
planned activity is approved, please check with the CTE Office.
Waiving Requirements
Certain graduation requirements may be waived with the approval of a Student Study Team and Site Administration.
The following requirements may NOT be waived:
1. Four years of mathematics
2. Four years of English
3. Three years of social studies
4. Two years of lab science
5. Two years of physical education (except as provided in Board Policy)

AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Numerous scholarships are available through the citizens of Tehama County. Complete information
about these scholarships and awards is available through the counseling department. Students should
start exploring scholarship options and requirements with their counselor during sophomore counseling or
during their junior year. Students and parents may obtain additional information on financial aid and
scholarships at the Red Bluff Union High School District website.
PSAT
Given annually in the Fall to high school juniors (may be taken earlier) as preparation for the SAT
tests. Eligibility for the National Merit Scholarship is dependent on the results of the PSAT and colleges
may use the results for some of their scholarship awards.
SAT
This is one of the two tests used by colleges for determining acceptance. The SAT is generally taken
in the Spring of the junior year or in the Fall of the senior year. Students are encouraged to study for the
test using one of many resources available to them in the school and community. The test provides
scores in verbal and mathematical ability, as well as writing, with possible scores ranging from a total of
600 to 2400. SAT scores will not appear on student transcripts.
Students can take the ACT as an alternative (see below). Students should see their counselor to
determine if the SAT or ACT is more appropriate.
SAT Subject Tests
The SAT Subject Tests are tests measuring student achievement in specific areas of study. Students
may take SAT Subject tests, which are used by colleges for a wide variety of purposes. Specific UC
campuses recommend these tests for admission decisions. The tests are usually taken in the Spring of
the junior year.
ACT Aspire
This is offered annually in the Fall to high school sophomores in preparation for taking the ACT. The
Aspire test allows students to experience the ACT and the career interest inventory gives students
information about college majors.
ACT
This is one of the two tests used by colleges for determining acceptance. The ACT is generally taken
in the Spring of the junior year or in the Fall of the senior year. Students are awarded scores on four sub
tests. The total score is based on questions which are more dependent on student knowledge than ability
-measuring more detailed mathematical skills than strict ability, for example. Students should see their
counselor to determine if the SAT or ACT is more appropriate.
Computer Proficiency
All 9th graders must take the Frosh Success class for graduation.
Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement (AP) tests are designed to measure student achievement in specific, college
level courses offered through the high schools. Participation in AP classes allows a student's grade point
average to be calculated at above the traditional 4.0 range* and at many UC campuses it is estimated
that the average student scores of new admissions are above the 4.0 level. Universities may grant credit
for all College Board Advanced Placement Tests on which a student scores 3 or higher. The credit may
be subject credit, graduation credit or credit toward general education or breadth requirements, as
determined by evaluators at each campus. It is the student's responsibility to check with individual
college campuses regarding their AP policy and credit conversion.
13
Advanced Placement courses that may be offered by Red Bluff High School include the following
Biology Spanish Language English Language and Composition
Calculus Studio Art English Literature and Composition
Chemistry European History U.S. History
Physics Microeconomics World History
State funding is available to qualified low-income students to assist in paying part of Advanced
Placement exams. [EC 48980, 52240]
For further information students should contact their counselor.
GED
The GED is taken by students in lieu of a high school diploma. Students who pass the GED test are
then eligible for entrance into community college programs as long as they meet other requirements.
District policy requires that the student be 18 years old or past the date of his/her class' graduation date.
California High School Proficiency Exam
The high school proficiency test is available to students who are at least 16 years of age. Certain other
students and adults are also eligible to take this test. Students who pass the test are issued a Certificate
of Proficiency from the State of California and may withdraw from high school with parental consent.
Students who elect this option do not receive a diploma, and they may not participate in graduation
exercises.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
English Language Development (ELD)
The District offers an English Language Development program at each campus for English Language
Learner (ELL) students. At the time of registration counselors will refer any ELL students to the ELD staff
for assessment and placement.
Credit Recovery Programs
Students are provided opportunities to make up required courses and to accelerate in certain
academic courses through Summer School (if funding is available) and after-school programs. For the
Summer School program, registration may be completed during the Spring or on opening day of Summer
School, with guidance from the school counselor. Credit recovery is available on the school campus
after school. Students who need to make up graduation credit are encouraged to participate in this
program. Contact the student's counselor for specific information on the dates, times and course
offerings.
Salisbury High School
Salisbury High School is the District's continuation high school. This alternative education program is
designed to meet the educational needs of those students who have difficulty succeeding in the regular
school environment. Parents and students may request enrollment at the school by contacting their
current counselor. In certain instances a student may be placed there by administrative decision.
REACH Program
The REACH Program serves approximately 15 students in grades 9 and 10 who need a smaller
learning environment along with additional one-on-one help. It is our mission to treat students as individuals
who will be encouraged to meet their potential and to prepare all students for work or higher education
while developing the personal and social skills necessary to succeed in the future.
14
Independent Study
Independent Study is an alternative program that provides students with an individualized graduation
plan. Students have access to all core curriculum courses, as well as the opportunity to take CTE classes,
college courses at Shasta College, and Work Experience. Students can also receive necessary remedial
instruction in math and reading to help them meet the district's Algebra requirement. Independent Study
focuses on one-on-one instruction in an alternative environment.
College Connection
Students in Shasta, Tehama and Trinity Counties earn high school and college units in this concurrent
enrollment program offered during the senior year. Students typically take American
Government/Economics, English IV, Study Skills and up to four college courses. Students finish their
senior year with between four and eight college courses completed. Applications are available during the
Spring of the junior year. Students who are interested should see their counselors for more information.
Cal-Safe Program at Salisbury High School
The Cal-SAFE Program provides services to expectant and parenting male and female students
enrolled in the Red Bluff Union High School District and their children. These services may include
specialized courses, adapted schedules and appropriate child care for children through age 5 whose
parents are enrolled in school. Participants also benefit from access to public and community-based
services. Students should contact their high school counselor for more information on this program.
Shasta College Courses- Concurrent Enrollment
Students may participate in Shasta College programs. In some cases students can earn both high
school and college credit for the same class. Interested students should see their counselors; concurrent
enrollment forms are available in the counseling office.
Dual Enrollment at Red Bluff High School
Dual Enrollment is a partnership with Shasta College designed to help students obtain a head start on
college, advanced vocational preparation, and personal enrichment opportunities. It differs slightly from
Concurrent Enrollment in that high school students participating in the Dual Enrollment program will be
earning both college and high school credits while taking pre-approved classes on the high school
campus. Please talk to your high school counselor to see which Dual Enrollment courses are offered on
your campus.
Work Experience Program
The Work Experience Program is designed for students who are employed. A supervising teacher
works with students and their employers to help students to be successful in the workplace.
To qualify, a student must be at least 16 years old, a junior or senior, maintain a 3.0 GPA, have good
attendance, demonstrate appropriate behavior, and be employed at a work site where at least minimum
wage is paid and workers’ compensation is carried by the employer.
A bi-monthly work experience class is held; attendance at these class meetings is mandatory for
successful completion of the course. Students must be enrolled in at least a minimum of two district
classes on campus to be enrolled in this program.
Please talk to your high school counselor to see if you qualify for the Work Experience Program.
LIBRARY
Library Hours
The Library Media Center is open from 7:30am to 5:30pm every day. Library services are available to
students before school, break, lunch, and after school until 3:30pm. Students using the library during
class time must have a pass from a teacher. After school tutoring in the Library Media Center is open to
15
all students who enroll in the ASSETs program.
Borrowing from the Library
Students may borrow up to three books for three weeks. After that, students must return or renew their
books. Weekly email notices are sent to remind students to return late books. Students who have overdue
or missing library books or textbooks will not be allowed to participate in extracurricular activities
(sports, dances, etc.) until the materials are renewed or returned.
Library Behavior
The Library Media Center is where students can meet to collaborate with others or work individually.
There are 46 computer stations and two printers in the Library computer lab, with an additional 26
computers in the library portion of the Media Center. Students can print in color for $1.00 per page, as
well as borrow various other supplies and materials to complete class projects.
Food and Drinks: No food or drinks are allowed in the Library Media Center.
Lost or Damaged Books: Students will be charged the replacement cost of materials that are lost or
damaged.
Library Entrances and Exits: There is a loading zone on Douglass Street outside of the Library
Media Center where students can be dropped off and picked up.
Overdue Notifications and Bills
Once a week, the Library automated system generates email notices for overdue materials. At the end
of the year, students who have not returned school materials will be billed for them. When the materials
are returned, the charge will be cleared in the Student Store. The District reserves the right to pursue
further appropriate measures to settle outstanding bills. Site administrators and registrars determine these
additional steps.
STUDENT SERVICES
Counseling
The guidance and counseling staff of the Red Bluff Union High School District strive to provide the
following personalized services to students and parents during the school year:
Develop an individual, four-year educational/career plan, including a Career Education component
that may be updated yearly with each student.
Provide an appointment system that will enable each student to see his/her counselor
within a reasonable period of time.
Conduct parent information night to disseminate guidance information.
Arrange for staff/parent/student conferences when appropriate.
Be available for personal and/or crisis counseling and possible referral to outside resources.
Inform both parents and students of the graduation requirements.
Meet with all students and their parents to discuss career educational goals, career test results and
to develop high school plans that will lead the student to goal attainment.
Academic and Non-Academic Courses, Classes, Electives, Activities, Sports, and Related
Facilities
State and federal policies require academic and nonacademic courses, classes, electives, school
related activities, team sports, athletic competitions, and school facilities be available to all students
without regard to their gender or gender identity, and irrespective of the gender listed in their records.
Staff will not counsel students into programs, courses, or careers based on their gender or gender
identity. [EC 221.5; Government Code 11135, 11138; Title IV, Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964;
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) 300D]
16
Schedule Changes
Since the number of course sections available at each high school depends upon pre-registration
information, class changes are not allowed except for the following reasons:
1. Computer error
2. Changes needed to satisfy graduation requirements
3. Changes required by health
4. Completion of Summer School, correspondence, Internet or college courses
Teachers or students may request a placement change from an honors level course to a regular-level
course within the first two weeks (10 days) of the semester. Any other request for a schedule change
requires a parent conference and counselor and teacher approval.
Work Permits
A student under 18 years of age who wishes to work must obtain a Work Permit. Students interested in
obtaining a Work Permit should already have an employer identified and a very real expectation for PAID
employment with that employer with workers’ compensation carried by the employer. Applications can be
obtained from CTE office. In compliance with Education Code Section 49110, a school authority will sign
off on the Application for Work Permit to verify the student's satisfactory school performance (a 2.0
GPA, attendance, and behavior) prior to obtaining verification from an employer if the student is hired.
The actual Work Permit Contract has clearly outlined specific thresholds that students must obtain in the
aforementioned areas. A student continuing employment from the past year or summer must reapply for a
Work Permit during the first two weeks of the new school year. A new Work Permit is required every time
a student changes jobs during the school year. Work permits can be revoked by the school administration
for poor student attendance, behavior, or grades.
Nutrition Services
The Food Services Department here at Red Bluff Union High School is committed to providing healthy
school meals and snacks to all students. The team of dedicated food and nutrition professionals support
and promote student academic success and healthful eating habits that lead to lifelong positive nutrition
practices.
School meals are served to students under the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast
Program and follow the nutrition guidelines prescribed by The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of
2010. The law was designed to reduce the incidence of childhood obesity by providing healthier choices
to students. These guidelines include:
Increased produce options, ensuring that students receive both fruits and vegetables every day of
the week
Portion size guidelines and calorie limits based on the age of children served
Increased emphasis on whole grain products
Limits on the types of milk served, with an emphasis on low fat (1%) and non-fat varieties
Textbooks Textbooks are furnished by the Red Bluff High School District. Students should sign their names in the
area provided in the front of the book after carefully examining the book for condition. If a book is lost, stolen
or damaged, the student will be required to pay for it prior to receiving a course grade and/or clearance for
graduation. Ed Code 48904(b) allows schools to withhold grades until textbook obligation
17
are resolved.
Technology
The Governing Board recognizes that technology provides ways to access the most current and
extensive sources of information. Technology also enables students to practice skills and to develop
reasoning and problem-solving abilities. In addition, electronic resources foster workplace skills that may
be transferable to new technologies. Every effort shall be made to provide equal access to technology
throughout the District's schools and classes.
The principal or designee shall oversee the maintenance of each school's technological resources and
may establish guidelines and limits on their use.
Computer Use Guidelines/Acceptable Use Policy
The District's Technology Acceptable Use Policy is provided to students and parents and should be
reviewed carefully. The District expects all students to abide by these policies and procedures when using
the District's computers, technology equipment or telecommunication system. Students who violate the
policy will be prohibited from using the District's equipment.
Community Resources
Our community has many resources available for students and families. They include crisis
intervention, suicide prevention, drug and alcohol diversion, and job placement programs, to name a few.
Please see the school guidance counselors for further help with community resource information.
ACTIVITIES
There are many co-curricular and extra-curricular activities open to students in the District and
students are strongly encouraged to participate. Students may participate in athletics, student
government, school clubs, music groups, the yearbook or newspaper staffs, etc.
Co-curricular activities are part of the regular curriculum. They do not come under the jurisdiction of
the Competitive Representational Activities code. Since co-curricular activities are an extension of the
classroom, student behavior violations will be subject to the District Discipline Policy. Students should
check with the Student Activities Director or Athletic Administrator at the school as to whether an activity
is co-curricular or extra-curricular.
Student Body Government (ASB)
Red Bluff Union High School established a student government based on a student body constitution
outlining the students' rights, powers, responsibilities, and privileges. Any student who attends the school
is a member of the student body and is entitled to the same privileges as any other student. Students
elect members of the student council, which is the student governing body of the school. Money for
student body activities is raised by selling student body cards, by sponsoring student activities and by
student-organized fund raisers and is administered by student body officers and the Director of Student
Activities.
Student Body Assemblies
High school students are required to attend all student body assemblies unless excused by the
administration. Courteous and dignified behavior at assemblies has been a tradition at all District high
schools and has earned the praise of many visiting speakers and performers. Students who do not
conform to acceptable standards of conduct will be subject to disciplinary action.
School Dances
During the school year, various student organizations sponsor dances. These dances are usually held
on Friday or Saturday night and last three hours. All students must fill out a Dance Contract prior to
purchasing dance bids. Students are not permitted to re-enter the dance once they have left. Any student
who violates a school rule while at the dance will be subject to disciplinary action by the administration.
18
Dances are for the students of the high school. Guest passes may be issued upon completion of an
approved guest form and at the discretion of the administration and/or the Director of Student Activities.
Release of Directory Information
The law allows schools to release "directory information" to certain persons or organizations including
military recruiters. Directory information includes name, address and phone number. You may have the
district withhold any of this information by submitting a request in writing. In the case of students with
exceptional needs or who are homeless, no material can be released without parent or guardian consent.
[EC 49061(c), 49070, 49073(c), 56515; FERPA; No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)]

bring them to school.

responsible for the loss of personal items brought to school. [EC 48901.5]

School Safety Plan
Every year, each school shall review and update its plan by March 1. Each school shall make its plan
public and shall report its school safety plan to numerous community leaders, school site personnel and
parent groups. Plans should, among other things, provide guidance for the prevention of bullying, and key
elements are to be described in the School Accountability Report Card. Planned responses to criminal
incidents need not be disclosed. The Uniform Complaint Procedure can be used regarding School Safety
Plan compliance. [EC 32281, 32282.1, 32286, 32288, 32289]

Red Bluff High School Academic Integrity Policy
Red Bluff Union High School District’s Mission is to create an atmosphere where all stakeholders (students, parents, community, and staff) are accountable, enthusiastic, and committed. For this reason, academic honesty is essential. This policy is established to ensure that all stakeholders know their responsibilities in order to maintain the integrity of our schools.
Academic Integrity Defined:
Academic integrity means:
• Personal truthfulness • Intellectual honesty • Learning and education • Respecting intellectual property (crediting others’ ideas)
Honesty, trust and integrity are essential components of education. The school believes that academic honesty and personal integrity are key components of a st udent's education and character development. The school expects that students will not cheat, lie, plagiarize or commit other acts of academic dishonesty. Teachers have a responsibility to emphasize the val ues of academic integrity. Teachers should proctor exams, qui zzes and tests. Teachers should explain to students when collaboration is and is not appropriate on specific assignments completed inside and outside of class and should teach students what plagiarism is and how to properly use and cite primary and secondary sources. All stakeholders including students and families should understand and act upon the values of academic integrity and should encourage the highest standards of academic behavior from themselves and their peers. Therefore, all work completed for a class should be original work created for the assignment by the student submitting the work.
Academic Dishonesty Defined:
Academic dishonesty extends beyond plagiarism to include lying, cheating, and falsification as well as procuring, using or providing unauthorized materials.
Forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:
• Looking at someone else's work or allowing them to look at your work, whether on an assignment or assessment
• Presenting another’s work or ideas as your own or allowing someone to present your work or ideas as their own
• Taking shortcuts to skip steps in completing an assignment or assessment. o This may include: reading SparkNotes instead of the text, finding answers without
computation, fabricating or altering laboratory data, using translation applications, etc.
21
• Using any materials or devices to help during a test without approval (written notes, cell phones, calculators, etc.)
• Stealing or helping to steal any tests, work or teacher answer document • Sharing or receiving test information in any form, to or from other students
o This can include communicating during a test with other students or sharing questions and /or answers to or from students in another period or from previous school years.
• Attempting to modify grade by altering corrections or scores, either for you or others • Missing class so as to avoid turning in an assignment or taking a test • Lying or deception about completion or submission of work • Lying to the teacher in order to get more time, credit or leniency in the grading of an
assignment, project or exam • Doing more or less than your share on a group project without teacher approval • Copying or closely paraphrasing sentences, phrases, passages or images without properly
citing the source
Procedures and Consequences:
When a student has been suspected of violating the Academic Integrity Policy, the teacher will: • Investigate the incident • Conference with the student • Notify parents or guardians • Refer the incident to administration
The professional judgment of teachers and administrators will determine whether a student has violated the Red Bluff Union High School Academic Integrity Policy. When it is deemed that a violation has occurred, consequences may include but are not limited to:
• Parent teacher conference • Student receives a zero on the assignment or assessment • Student's overall grade may be lowered • Student will be denied a letter of recommendation from teachers • Incident recorded in student record system • Extracurricular supervisors and sport coaches will be notified • A discipline referral to administration with appropriate consequences will be issued • Student may be subject to in-school or out of school suspension • Student may be suspended or excluded from extracurricular activities including removal
from ASB office and disqualification from California Scholastic Federation

Discipline Policy
In order to maintain a school climate in which all students can learn it is vital for all students to assume responsibility for their behavior. To aid students in making appropriate decisions governing their behavior, the following Discipline Policy clarifies the behavioral expectations of Red Bluff Union High School. We believe that the safe promotion of a safe learning atmosphere requires the teamwork of students, staff members, parents/guardians and support services. Parents, counselors and appropriate administrators will be included in disciplinary action. Administration may use one or
any combination of the consequences listed for each offense. Administration may use a
consequence that is not listed if deemed appropriate by the Principal.

RBHS Dress Code
The Red Bluff Joint Union High School District believes that a healthy and safe learning environment is essential for student learning. We feel that a minimal dress standard establishes a positive tone of behavior, which fosters respect for self and others. It is with these concepts in mind that the district establishes the following dress standards.
Wearing apparel shall be clean, safe and not disruptive to the instructional process:
• Outer clothing must adequately cover all undergarments.
• Front and back midriffs must be covered.
• Shorts and skirts must exceed past the thumbs from hanging arms.
• Tops must have two straps, with no undergarments showing.
• No pajamas/sleepwear except on dress up days.
• No gang related clothing or apparel. Determination at the discretion of the administration.
• Clothing which displays illegal substances, obscenities, racial/ethnic slurs, or sexually
suggestive i s not allowed.
• Unnecessary safety pins, spikes, chains, or pointed objects are not allowed.
• All students must wear shoes or sandals.
• Disruptive clothing to the educational process will not be allowed. Determination at the
discretion of the administration.
In order to promote safety and to eliminate distractions to the educational process, the site
administration may need to modify the dress code. Violations of the dress code will result in
disciplinary actions such as, changing clothes, lunch detention or suspension.

Athletics
The Red Bluff Joint Union High School District believes that a dynamic program
of student activities i s vital to the educational development of the student. Young people learn a great deal from participation in interscholastic athletics. Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, competition and how to win and lose gracefully are integral parts of our athletic program. Athletic participation also plays an important part in helping students develop a healthy self-concept as well as a healthy body. Athletic experiences contribute to the development of learning skills and emotional patterns that enable the student to achieve maximum benefit from his or her education.
While the Red Bluff Joint Union High School District takes great pride in winning, it does not condone "winning at any cost" and discourages any and all pressures which might tend to neglect good sportsmanship and good mental health. At all times, the athletic program must be conducted in such a way so as to justify it as an educational activity.
Overview and Purpose of Athletics at Red Bluff High School
To be of maximum effectiveness in providing a beneficial experience for student athletes, the athletic program will:
1. Make the welfare of the student the ultimate consideration. The purpose of athletics is to promote the physical, mental, moral, social, and emotional well being of those participating.
2. Be a well-coordinated part of the school, compatible with and complementary to all aspects of a student's education.
3. Be conducted in such a manner as to provide a sound rationale for use of funds, time, and facilities.
4. Be nondiscriminatory, making the same benefits available to all students, regardless of race, sex, or ethnic origin.
5. Foster training in conduct, commitment, character, perseverance, game ethics, and sportsmanship for participants and for spectators.
6. Adhere to national, state, and local rules and policies under which the program is conducted.
33
Athlete Eligibility and Participation
Athletes should understand the following CIF, Northern Section, league, and RBHS eligibility guidelines:
1. If you reach your nineteenth birthday on or before June 15th, you cannot participate in interscholastic athletics.
2. If you are in your fifth year of high school, you cannot participate in interscholastic athletics.
3. CIF athletic eligibility rules are complicated and constantly changing. If you do not live within the RBJUHSD boundaries and if you have not been continuously enrolled in the RBJUHSD si nce the beginning of your freshman year, contact your coach or athletic director to confirm your eligibility.
4. Every athlete must be enrolled in and pass at least four classes with an
overall 2.0 GPA each grading period (approximately every six weeks). A probationary period will apply to freshman students only during the Fall semester. The probation is for the first or second six week grading period during the Fall semester. This probation allows for the GPA to be under 2.0. Freshmen still must pass four classes. Some coaches may enforce stricter grade expectations.
5. You cannot compete on any "outside" team in your sport from the date of your first game until the season is over. If you have any questions on this regulation, see your coach.
6. You cannot try out for a professional or collegiate team from September 15 to June 25 each year.
7. Foreign s t u d e n t s w an t ing to participate i n athletics m u s t be part of a CIF approved exchange program and must complete appropriate paperwork to be eligible.
8. Prior to try-outs or practice an athlete must have a physical examination by a qualified medical doctor. This exam must be on record in the high school Student Store. An opportunity will be provided f o r a physical a t the high school once a year. This generally will be given on a Saturday in mid to late May or the first Saturday in June.
9. Prior to being allowed t o practice or try out with the team, a sports packet must be completed and on file in the Student Store
10. When all paperwork i s completed, you will receive an Athletic Clearance Slip to be given to your coach to clear you for participation.
11. All athletes are encouraged to purchase ASB cards.

Athlete Committed
Red Bluff High School has joined the Athlete Committed movement. Athlete
Committed is dedicated to the short term and long term health of our athletes. RBHS will provide support to our athletes to make healthy choices. These choices will help our students compete with excellence on and off the field.
All athletes and a parent or guardian are required to attend an athlete committed presentation. Immediately following the presentation, athletes and their parent or guardian will join their coaches in the signing of the Athlete Committed contract. All athletes will be required to do this one time per school year, prior to the start of the athlete's earliest sport.
For more information on Athlete Committed, check out the founder John Underwood on the web.
