Auburn High School Student Expectations

The Auburn High School Student Handbook addresses assault under ‘Behavior Expectations.’

ASSAULT
“Using unwarranted force or contact. Demonstrating a deliberate and immediate intent to be physically violent towards another person (staff or students), including domestic violence and sexual assault. Intent is defined as taking deliberate actions towards physically harming another person resulting in the person having an immediate expectation that his/her personal safety is now in jeopardy.

Assault does not include accidental contact unless it is flagrant, purposeful, repeated and/or results in injury.
Domestic violence as assault includes physically harming, threatening, physically restraining, or stalking a
romantic/dating partner or family member.”

Discipline
The Auburn High School Student Hand Book refers to possible discipline and interventions for behavioral misconduct.

Discipline/Interventions:
“It is the intent of the school to encourage students to correct inappropriate/unacceptable behavior, attendance, or attitude problems whenever reasonably possible. Students who violate a rule the first time face disciplinary action commensurate to the violation for a first occurrence. Repeated violations or extreme situations may result in more severe disciplinary action or suspension. At each intervention step, the intent is to assist the student in identifying the problem, to understand what new behavior is necessary, and to encourage the student to accept responsibility for his/her actions.

In our effort to partner with parents and guardians, AHS staff will notify parents/guardians by phone or email when disciplinary actions have been assigned to their students.”

The school handbook lists assault’s potential discipline steps:

 

  • Admin Referral
  • Parent Contact
  • Possible exclusionary discipline (STS/LTS)
  • Possible criminal investigation
