The Discipline Office follows a Progressive Discipline Plan. The concept of progressive discipline plan is designed to assure positive classroom and campus behavior. It is recognized that all students are not the same and that each possess unique characteristics that control his or her behavior patterns. Misbehavior will be dealt with firmly, consistently, fairly, and to the extent necessary to ensure a safe and positive environment and accelerated for any pupil who continues to violate school rules.

The pupil's duties are set forth in the Code of Student Behavior:
As a student in the Santa Ana schools, I have the responsibility to exercise self-discipline so that the rights of all are respected and a good learning environment can be maintained, I understand that I shall be held responsible for understanding and complying with this code of student behavior.

Discipline policies for students are listed below. Continue to scroll down and read.
