A MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP

PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME

Welcome to Salesian College Preparatory!

Guided by the Salesian educational philosophy rooted in reason, religion, and loving-kindness, the approach to our students is to educate from the heart.

Our challenging college preparatory curriculum is designed to not only meet but exceed the admission standards of many colleges, including UCs and CSUs. Dedicated guidance counselors work patiently with each student to design a course of studies based on personal interests, talents, career, and college goals. A highly qualified and distinguished faculty imparts their knowledge, experience, skills, and core values that will make Salesian students the leaders of tomorrow and productive global citizens of the world.

Students are encouraged to become actively involved in cultural clubs, visual and performing arts, or service-oriented organizations that enable them to meet new friends, cultivate life-long relationships, and grow in confidence. Students are challenged physically and mentally via a competitive athletic program with several nationally ranked teams. These varied experiences help our students develop an appreciation for others, motivate teamwork and collaboration, heighten spirituality, refine leadership skills, and good sportsmanship.

I officially welcome you to our expansive 21-acre campus and experience the warmth and inviting atmosphere of our school community. I am excited for you to see for yourself what Academics, Faith, and Family are really about! I look forward to getting to know you here at Salesian College Preparatory.

Do your best, be your best, and let God do the rest!

A MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Welcome to the Salesian family! Your student is about to embark on a journey to become a Salesian for life; we are in this together! We genuinely care about each and every one of our students.

You will find that our faculty, staff, and administration are present throughout our students’ high school journey. You are part of our family now, rich with diversity.

The mission of St. John Bosco, and now ours together, is to educate the children of the local community with reason, religion, and loving-kindness. Under the charism of St. John Bosco, and with your help, we can provide your student with a college preparatory experience through a HOME that nurtures, a SCHOOL that educates, a CHURCH that welcomes, and a PLAYGROUND where joy abounds and everyone belongs.

Many great things happen here on campus. We are student-centric and our top priority is creating an unparalleled high school experience for our students.

Perhaps your student will take advantage of our many STEM course offerings in stateof-the-art third-floor labs. Maybe your student will find or further their talent through our outstanding Visual and Performing Arts department. It could be that your student becomes immersed in our literature, social science, or religious studies programs. Perhaps your student will become one of our scholar-athletes who competes in a sport as an individual or as part of a team. Maybe your student will sample all of the above.

Rest assured, Salesian will be there every step of the journey, ready to celebrate successes, guide through failures, and prepare each student for what lies ahead.

I look forward to meeting your student and your family. Let the Salesian journey begin!

STUDENT SUPPORT

COUNSELING & ADVISING

Academic Advising

All Salesian students meet regularly with a guidance counselor to select an appropriately challenging schedule of courses, and to ensure that all graduation requirements will be met. The academic advising team continues to support and counsel students as they navigate scheduling in subsequent years, standardized testing, and credit fulfillment.

Personal Counseling & Wellness Center

The many changes during high school can cause challenges that may be resolved if explored in a nonjudgmental environment. Our personal counselors are available to students who are experiencing difficulties, including adjustment challenges, issues with peers, or stress with school. Our staff is available to offer support and guide students through the challenges of adolescence.

Students can request to visit with one of the personal counselors, or they may be referred by faculty, staff, or parents. While opportunities for counseling are available to all students, it is completely voluntary. In addition to personal counseling, there is a Wellness Center on campus intended to aid in early interventions for students experiencing social, emotional, or mental health challenges that affect learning in the classroom. It provides students with a safe, quiet, and calming space to reduce stress and anxiety.

4. Any student that is out of the dress code on any given day when they arrive at school will immediately be assigned to an after-school detention. They will also be asked to change into a uniform article of clothing from the Front Office, sign for it, and then wash and return the loaned clothing article the next day.

CODE OF CONDUCT

The goal of Salesian discipline is self-discipline. Students are given the opportunity to develop good judgment and to make decisions within the limits of acceptable behavior. Our students are identified with Salesian College Preparatory, and the public perception of the school is formed by student behavior, both on and off campus. Consequently, students are accountable for their behavior both on and off campus.

Misconduct calls for disciplinary action. Behavior problems will be handled in the following sequence:

• Teacher

• Coach (if applicable)

• Athletic Director (if applicable)

• Associate Principal of Student Life

• Principal

16 | www.salesian.com

CLASSROOM REGULATIONS

1. The teacher is to be respectfully obeyed at all times.

2. An admit slip from the Front Office is required when students seek admittance to class after the initial class bell has rung.

3. Students are not to move desks, adjust blinds or windows, or touch the whiteboard unless asked to do so by the teacher.

4. Students are not to stand or move around during class without the explicit permission of the teacher.

5. When the bell announces the end of a period, students are to await the teacher’s signal before moving from the room.

6. Students are encouraged to use the restroom during the passing period and break.

8. Gum-chewing is not allowed anywhere on school property.

9. Neither possession or smoking of tobacco products nor vaping is allowed at any time in school or within a two-block radius of the school. Students should not be in possession of any vaping paraphernalia at any time. Any infraction of this type will ordinarily result in suspension or expulsion. For the safety of our students, the school administration may also test students for alcohol or illegal drug use.

10. Any use of alcohol or any other controlled substance will result in immediate disciplinary and/or police action. Expulsion may result if Salesian students are involved. For the safety of our students, the school administration may also test students for alcohol or illegal drug use.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Cell Phone Usage (including voice, text messaging, use of the camera, or social media): To prevent disruption in class, students may NOT use cellular phones during class time. During passing periods and lunch, students may use their cell phones in an appropriate manner. Please keep in mind the following in regard to the use of students’ personal cell phones:

• If a teacher deems it necessary to use the cell phone in the classroom as an acceptable educational tool, then students must follow the instructions given to them in the classroom for the use of their phones.

• In the case of an illness or an emergency during the school day, students must ask a teacher, administrator, or staff member for permission to use their phones to contact home.

• No student may use any type of electronic device (cell phone, laptop, Apple watch, etc.) during an exam or quiz unless given specific instructions to the contrary by the teacher.

• Failure to comply with any of the above stipulations may result in confiscation of the device.

• If asked, a student must hand over his or her phone to the teacher, staff member or administrator immediately, and without complaint. Parents/Guardians will be notified if and when this action is taken.

• If Parents/Guardians need to contact their student, we ask that they call the main office instead of calling/texting the student while they’re in class.

*Please review the complete Code of Student Behavior in the Student-Family Handbook prior to the start of school.
