Student Life

7th hour is an integral part of the academic day at D’Evelyn and is designed to support the central goals of the D’Evelyn program. Academics are the primary focus of 7th hour, including tutoring, makeup work and additional study time. The secondary focus is on programs that complement academics, such as student government, academic enrichment activities, preparation for academic competition, college counseling, club activities and early departures for athletics, as needed. Non-curricular clubs or groups will typically meet on Fridays. 

Students are to sign up for 7th hour on their devices after 8 a.m. and before 7th hour begins. Regular or recurring absences from 7th hour or other violations of rules will not be tolerated. A tardy will be given to any student who does not sign up for 7th hour, and three tardies will lead to a detention. Students who fail to sign up should report to one of their classes and the teacher will contact an administrator. Campus security and administrators will document the number of times a student has failed to sign up.

D’Evelyn Junior-Senior High School holds high academic and behavioral standards for all students, and academic integrity is an extremely important aspect of those expectations. Moral or ethical lapses in academic integrity are tantamount to academic dishonesty.

As such, all forms of academic dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism and mendacious computer and technology use are considered very serious and will be subject to academic and disciplinary consequences up to, and including, loss of credit, suspension and referral to the Discipline and Attendance Review Team (DART). Academically dishonest acts include, but are not limited to:

• Copying, reproducing, including or otherwise representing any or all of another person's work as your own. This includes the use of AI.
• Allowing another person to copy, reproduce or otherwise represent any or all of your work as their own.
• Using or representing the work of another person as your own work without proper citation or credit for the source. 
• Using any class or class-related materials, cheat sheet, crib notes, cell phone or any other aid during a test, quiz or other form of assignment or assessment when such use is prohibited. 
• Violating assignment or assessment directions or expectations with intent to commit academic dishonesty. 
• Aiding or abetting others in committing acts of academic dishonesty.
• Stealing or otherwise acquiring or distributing, without permission, a teacher’s or student’s quiz, test, assignment, answer key or teacher’s manual, regardless of whether or not that information was actually used. 

Student and parent presence and participation at school dances and socials is welcomed and encouraged. To make these events fun, safe and enjoyable for all involved, students must adhere to all district and school rules for students and guests on or off campus. Senior high students must properly fill out, sign, and submit a guest request form at least 24 hours before the event for any outside guests. 

Junior high socials are for junior high students only, and high school dances are for high school students only. No outside guests permitted for junior high socials. Junior high students are also not permitted to attend senior high dances. If students are required to leave for misconduct, they must immediately make arrangements to leave school grounds. Refunds will not be given.

All extracurricular activities that have public performances or competitions are under the CHSAA academic eligibility guidelines. To remain eligible, students cannot be failing more than one class. Students failing more than one class at the end of a semester are ineligible for the first nine weeks of the next semester. Eligibility is checked on a weekly basis.

Jeffco believes the internet should be used in schools as a learning resource to educate and to inform students. Accordingly, the district provides internet access for its students as a means to offer a wide variety of educational resources. While many opportunities offered by the internet are exciting and appropriate, others are unsuitable for school use.

Consequently, use of a computer and the internet is for educational purposes only while attending school. Misuses of district computers and technology, including but not limited to, the unauthorized reproduction of school or legal documents, copyright violations, attempts to harm or destroy data of another user, improper use of the internet or electronic mail, vandalism, solicitation, uploading, downloading, or creation of computer viruses, and tampering with operating systems or data; (From Jeffco Conduct Code on “Grounds for Suspension/Expulsion,” No. 320.) 

If a student becomes ill while at school, they need to inform their teacher and receive a pass before going to the clinic. Sick students will be allowed to rest for 10 minutes. The student will need to return to class or make arrangements to go home. 
The health room aide will arrange for the student to receive an excused absence for the time they are in the health room, or for the remainder of the day if the student goes home.

Any accident occurring on the school grounds must be reported to the office. Parents will be notified by the school when accidents occur.

Fourth period is extended to provide a lunch break for everyone in the building. Approximately half of the students, in the seventh through 12th grades, attend first lunch. There is a 15-minute break between lunches, and then the second half will have lunch

Sixth-grade students are assigned third lunch. Lunch menus are posted in the cafeteria. There is a variety of a la carte items always available. Student IDs are required to get free lunch.

Academic halls are off-limits during the lunch period unless students have a pass. All food must be consumed in the cafeteria or the patio area just outside the cafeteria. It is also expected that students clean up their table area after completing lunch. All students will be assigned lunch duty (to help wipe down tables and throw away trash) for approximately one week of the year.

All D’Evelyn students will be assigned a locker in which to place their books and other personal items per availability. Students and their parents will sign a locker contract to document prior notice to students and parents regarding the conditions under which the student may use a school or district locker. The locker is district property and may be inspected as needed for safety, health and maintenance purposes.

Lost items are kept outside as well as in the main office. All unmarked and unclaimed items will be donated to a charitable organization after a reasonable length of time.

All students who drive to school must purchase a parking tag and park in the student lot. Students may not park on the side streets or surrounding areas. Tickets will be issued to cars that do not have a parking pass or are inappropriately parked. Any violation of the parking contract may result in revocation of parking privileges.

Students' Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs); cell phones, gaming devices, digital musical devices, tablets, personal laptops, and any other non-medical device with wireless and/or Internet connectivity, are to be stored out of sight during classroom instructional time, including 7th hour. Laptops may be used for classroom educational purposes as directed by the teacher. These items can be confiscated and will be delivered to the main office for retrieval after school. Continual infringement will lead to further disciplinary actions. The school accepts no liability for lost or damaged items (Policy ST-06-R4). Additionally, skateboards and rollerblades are not allowed at school. 

Classroom phones are NOT intended for student use. Due to the amount of phone calls coming into the Main Office, parents should not assume that your student will be allowed phone use other than for emergencies. All cell phones are to be turned off and put away during any class/instructional time unless otherwise instructed.
