A school in the Lake Washington School District located

Futures School is considered a "Choice School." As such, students here are expected to meet a certain standard of behavior and performance in order to remain with us. We are a "school within a school" so you must still follow Juanita High School rules. As one of our students you will be a direct reflection of our program. Therefore, any students accruing three or more discipline referrals will be suspended from the program for a minimum of one session. Students should familiarize themselves with all the rules in the student handbook in addition to the ones highlighted below.

GRADES: Failure in a class for two sessions out of three constitutes grounds for removal from that class and corresponding reduction in schedule. If a student fails half or more of Futures School classes in one session, the student is removed for a minimum of one session.

ATTENDANCE: We classify absences as excused or unexcused. However, because we are on the accelerated six session system, students will lose credit on their fourth absence regardless of whether it is excused or not! While there is an appeal process, students should understand that unexcused absences drastically reduce the likelihood of credit being reinstated.

TARDY: If you enter class after the bell rings, you are tardy. If you enter five minutes late you will be marked absent. You will receive an absence on your 5th tardy and for each time thereafter.

SMOKING: We are a tobacco free campus. There is no smoking allowed anywhere including the bathrooms, the parking lots and anyone's car if it is in our parking lot.

FIGHTING: All participants in any altercation, no matter how right the fight will be suspended. Those watching the fight may also be given a discipline referral. Let a staff person know if you believe trouble is brewing - you'll save someone a suspension!

DRUGS: We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding drugs. If you are found to be using or dealing at school, you will be dropped from the program. If we have reason to believe you are using at home, you will have to meet with our drug resource person and meet their requirements or you will be dropped from the program. We will not tolerate any drug "language" or imagery in class or on homework.
