St. Gregory the Great Catholic School
♦ Inspiring Faith, Service, and Life-Long Learning ♦ Dear Parents,
It is a delight to welcome you to a new school year at St. Gregory the Great Catholic School!
The Junior High Handbook contains valuable information. This document also serves your child
as a Student Handbook, as much of it contains information that pertains to students.
Our mission as Catholic educators is to inspire our students to develop a spiritual relationship
with God, to strive for excellence in all they do, and to reach out to others in a spirit of service
and stewardship. Our students are encouraged to work towards a balanced life style, effective
organization and time management skills, to facilitate a smooth transition to the high school of
their choice.
It is our greatest hope that we will communicate often and work closely with you as partners in
the education of your child.
We look forward to a wonderful, exciting, and growth-producing year. May God bless you and
your family as you experience being a part of the St. Gregory the Great Catholic School family.
Sincerely,
Junior High Faculty

School Mission
Our mission is to provide quality Catholic education where gospel values are integrated into the
fiber of each school day. The administration, faculty and staff, in partnership with parents, are
committed to providing a Christ-centered learning experience that will allow and encourage each
child to realize his/her God-given potential and embrace a faith-filled future of leadership,
stewardship, and the pursuit of life-long learning.
School Philosophy
St. Gregory the Great, a Catholic elementary school serving Scripps Ranch and the surrounding
community, offers a faith-based, Christ-centered learning experience that recognizes and
appreciates the uniqueness of each child and supports students in developing their God-given
gifts and talents.
Parents, acknowledged as the primary educators of their children, are supported in this role by a
dedicated and caring faculty and staff. We believe this partnership facilitates consistency
between home and school, and is integral to students embracing a faith-filled lifestyle, infused
with Catholic values and morals, and allows them to experience success in meeting challenging
academic expectations.
The administration, faculty, and staff at St. Gregory the Great Catholic School are committed to
the spiritual, intellectual, personal, and interpersonal development of each child, and encourage
students to view learning as a life-long process. We provide a Christian learning environment
where students are motivated to recognize, develop, and share their gifts. A strong commitment
to academic excellence drives our instructional program, utilizing both traditional and innovative
instructional and learning practices with particular emphasis on ethical use of technology in a
rapidly changing world.
Our students, the future leaders in a secular society, are challenged and inspired to be conscious
of local and global social justice issues. Embracing stewardship as a way of life, our school
community is committed to lives of action, where God’s gifts are, “received with gratitude,
cultivated responsibly, and shared lovingly with others,” (Stewardship: a Disciple’s Response,
USCCB, 2002). Opportunities for Christian service are integrated across the curriculum as our
students are called to be productive citizens who recognize their ability to make a difference in
our world today and in the future.

California Junior Scholarship Federation
At the beginning of the seventh-grade year, students are invited to apply for membership in the
California Junior Scholarship Federation (CJSF). CJSF is calculated on a semester basis
throughout the seventh and eighth grade years. Students who satisfy the requirements for CJSF
will graduate as members of the California Honor Society and be recognized with a gold cord,
CJSF certificate, and Honor Society pin at the graduation awards ceremony.
Criteria for CJSF Qualification:

Cheating/Plagiarism Policy
Cheating is defined as “using unfair or dishonest methods to gain an advantage.”
(http://wordcentral.com, Merriam-Webster, Inc. 2007). Borrowing answers from unauthorized
sources, copying a classmate’s work, providing answers for classmates, and pretending to
complete an assignment are all forms of cheating and/or plagiarism.
Consequences of Cheating:
• First offense – 1 day at-home suspension
• Second Offense – 2 day at-home suspension
• Third Offense – determined by administration, withdrawal or
expulsion
Promotion
Only those students, who satisfactorily complete the work of a particular grade in academic skill
areas, will be promoted to the next grade. Credit shall not be given solely on the basis of “seat-
time” alone. Policies and requirements for graduation are published in the Graduation
Handbook. (STGGCS Family Handbook 2018-2019)
11 | P a g e
Probation for Currently Enrolled Students Any student currently enrolled at St. Gregory the Great Catholic School may be placed on
probation (academic or behavioral) if they are consistently unsuccessful in meeting the grade-
level standards required of all students.
Students are evaluated according to the following criteria:
• Extent of student’s involvement in his/her own learning (class participation, attitude,
effort, completion of assignments).
• Student’s organization and study skills.
• Academic effort and level of progress.
• Responsible behavior, attitude, cooperation, peer relationships and any other pertinent
areas of concern.
Should a student consistently experience difficulty in any of the above areas, the teacher will
meet with the student and parents to counsel them on strategies to remedy the problem. Lack of
improvement will lead to a conference with the student, teacher, parents, and principal, at which
time a future course of action will be discussed. An action plan will be devised to address
strategies for improvement in areas of need. Should the student’s level of improvement be
unsatisfactory by the next report card, he/she will be placed on probation. The teacher will
closely monitor the student during the probationary period, frequently conferencing with the
parents. At the close of the quarter, the end of the probationary period, written notification of the
student’s status will accompany the report card. Probation will be discontinued if the report is
satisfactory. If progress is unsatisfactory, the principal will request a conference with all parties.
If probation continues for a second quarter, independent tutoring will be required. The student’s
progress in school will continue to be closely monitored, and testing (academic and/or
psychological) will be mandated. The principal will assist parents in discerning what is in the
best interest of the child. A student may remain on probation for two report card periods
(quarters). If it is evident that our school program is unable to meet the student’s needs, the
principal will assist the parents in locating an academic environment better suited to the student,
where he/she can reach his/her full potential.
Behavioral Expectations
Attending St. Gregory the Great Catholic School is a privilege. Students are expected to behave
in a way that reflects the values and morals of the school’s philosophy. STGGCS recognizes that
students are responsible for their actions and behavior. Students will be held accountable for the
consequences of inappropriate actions and behavior. Specific behavioral expectations will be
clearly communicated in junior high classrooms. The schoolwide behavioral expectations are
RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and READY TO LEARN.
Students are expected to:
• be prepared for class with all necessary materials.
• comply with teacher requests and directions.
• practice focused learning without disruptions to class.
12 | P a g e
• Demonstrate respect for school and personal property.
• Speak, listen, and respond appropriately, honestly, and
respectfully.
• Keep their hands and feet to themselves.
• Behave appropriately during transitions between classes.
Students who choose not to comply with the rules and expectations will invite any of the
following consequences (in no particular order): verbal/nonverbal and/or written warnings;
environmental modifications (ex. change of seat), detention, parent contact in the form of an
email, note, or call home; office referral; and/or a formal conference with the student, parents,
teacher/s, and principal.
Detention
If a student earns a detention for his/her behavior, the detention slip must be signed by a parent
and returned to the teacher the following day. Failure to return the detention slip the next school
day will result in a second detention. Uniform and serious behavior infractions will result in
detention.
Detentions are postponed only with an official note from a doctor’s office stating the
appointment time. In this case, detentions can be rescheduled. Detention will not be
rescheduled for any other reason.
Responsible Behavior Grades
Responsible Behavior grades will be updated regularly on Gradelink® and communicated on the
quarterly report card. It is strongly recommended that parents regularly review both
academic grades and behavior notes on their Gradelink® account.
Christian Stewardship
Stewardship and service are at the core of who we are as a Catholic school community. Students
must earn 24 hours of service during the school year (June -May) with a minimum requirement
of 6 hours of service per quarter.
Refer to teacher websites for stewardship guidelines and forms.
100% Completion of 6 Stewardship Hours
85% Completion of 5 Stewardship Hours
70% Completion of 4 Stewardship Hours
65% Completion of 3 Stewardship Hours
55% Completion of 2 Stewardship Hours
40% Completion of 1 Stewardship Hour
0% Completion of 0 Stewardship Hours
13 | P a g e
Homework Expectations
Homework is essential to the educational process. Per Diocesan policy, 6th graders should
expect 60-90 minutes of nightly homework, and 7th and 8th graders should expect 90-120 minutes
of nightly homework. Students are responsible for using their student planner to plan both
nightly and long-term assignments. Illegible, messy work, including torn or wrinkled papers,
will not be accepted. Students will be required to redo unacceptable work. Assignments will
receive credit if complete and on time.
Late homework may result in a lowered grade. In addition, parents will be informed of
incomplete and missing assignments via Gradelink®. Parents and students are highly
encouraged to access Gradelink® regularly in order to be cognizant of current grades. The
weekly Student Performance Envelope will need to be signed by the parent and returned to
school. Missing or incomplete work that is submitted to the teacher will be given consideration
for partial credit.
Student Assessment
Students will always receive advanced notice of tests and be given ample time to prepare for the
assessment. Quizzes may be given without prior notice. Test dates may be subject to change in
the case of unforeseen scheduling changes. Teachers will collaborate to ensure that the
assessment schedule is balanced.
Absence from School
It is the student’s responsibility to connect with individual teachers to make up any missed
work or tests. The students have the same number of days to make up the missed work as they
were absent. Teacher websites are a great resource to check for missed work. If missed work is
not made up in the time allotted, the grade may be lowered and/or no credit will be earned.
*Teachers will not prepare work for planned vacations/absences. Students are expected to
stay abreast of class work through classroom websites. Any make-up work is expected in a
timely manner upon the student’s return.
Effective Use of Technology
Use of technological equipment is limited to educational purposes only. Internet use by students
is allowed for the sole purpose of learning, reference, and research. Students will only visit
websites accessible via the classroom website unless permission is given otherwise. All
technological devices are to be treated with the utmost care and respect. Students and parents are
required to sign an Acceptable Use Policy for Technology that verifies both student and parent
responsibility. Read and understand “Rules in Cyberspace” –
http://www.justice.gov/criminal/cybercrime/rules/rules.htm - for further information.
Any infraction of the Acceptable Use Policy for Technology will result in consequences at the
discretion of the teacher/principal.
14 | P a g e
Social Media
It is the expectation of St. Gregory the Great Catholic School that parents play an active role in
monitoring their child’s activity in cyber space, including, but not limited to, social media sites.
The FERPA law guarantees the right to privacy for all school families. Acknowledging this right,
please do not post to social media sites without the permission of all involved in the content of
the post. The FERPA law also governs social media interactions among students. Refer to the
STGGCS Social Media Policy for further details.
Miscellaneous Water Bottles
Students are advised to carry water bottles with them throughout the school day.
Medication
All medications must be turned into the school office. Medication must be clearly labeled with
the student’s name and dosage. A Medical Administration Form must be filled out by a parent
and the student must self-administer any medication. (Medication includes cough drops,
inhalers, lip balm and sunscreen.)
Allergies
St. Gregory the Great Catholic School is an Allergy Smart School. The administration, faculty,
and staff strive to maintain a food-allergy safe environment and use C.A. R.E. (Comprehend
food allergies/ bee sting allergies, etc.; Avoid the allergen; Recognize symptoms of an allergic
reaction; Enact emergency care immediately) as guidelines for action. Allergy friendly seating is
provided at recess and lunch.
Parents are required to complete an Allergy & Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan for any student
who has been diagnosed by a medical practitioner as being at risk of anaphylaxis. The parent
community at large is asked to be cognizant of the information on allergies and to consult with
the teacher before providing any food related treats to the students. (STGGCS Family Handbook)
Personal Items
To avoid loss or breakage, all personal items, other than school supplies, should be left at home
unless they are necessary for a class project.
School Library and Textbooks
School library books may be checked out per school policy. In the case of lost or damaged
textbooks or library books, students and/or parents are responsible for the cost incurred by the
school to purchase a replacement.
Dress Code
Refer to the STGGCS Family Handbook for the Uniform Policy. Infractions of the Uniform
Policy will result in detention. Infractions of the Relaxed Dress Policy, as published in the
STGGCS Family Handbook, will result in a phone call home to request uniform attire, and
possible loss of the next relaxed dress privilege.
15 | P a g e
Student Threat Policy (Diocesan Policy)
1. Any and all student threats of harm to self or others must be taken
seriously.
2. Whoever hears the threat will report it to the principal immediately.
3. Police will be notified immediately.
4. The parent or guardian of the student who has made the threat will be notified
immediately.
5. The student will be kept in the principal’s office under supervision until the
police/parents arrive.
6. The parent or guardian of any student who has been mentioned as a potential victim, as
well as any adult who has been mentioned, either verbally or in writing, will be notified
immediately.
7. The student will work from home and will not be considered for re-admission to the
classroom unless the following steps have been completed.
A. The principal must receive a report from the police, either written or verbal. That
report should include notification of whether the child will be charged with any
crime, as well as an assessment of the child’s access to weapons.
B. A comprehensive mental health evaluation and risk assessment must be conducted
by an independent psychiatrist or psychologist. If a psychiatrist performs the
primary evaluation, he/she will determine whether it is necessary to utilize a
psychologist for psychological consultation or testing. If a psychologist performs
the primary evaluation, he/she shall determine the need for psychiatric
consultation.
C. The principal will, after obtaining the permission of the parents, provide the
mental health care professional with all relevant facts including, but not limited
to, aggressive behavior, details of the threat as known to the principal, copies of
any drawings or writings, disciplinary history of the student, behavioral concerns,
and the names of any known victims or potential victims.
D. The principal shall receive a written, comprehensive, detailed evaluation and
report and documented treatment plan from the mental health care professional
stating the basis (factual and risk factors and test results) upon which it has been
determined that the student does or does not pose a danger to self or others. The
report must also address the concerns raised by the principal to the mental health
care professional. The evaluation and report must be delivered to the principal.
The principal will share them with legal or administration, which will assist the
principal in the decision regarding re-admission of the student to the school.
8. If the psychiatrist or psychologist recommends re-admittance, and if the principal is
satisfied with the report given, the principal will, after due consideration, including a
16 | P a g e
conference with the parents, decide whether to re-admit the child. The outcome of the
investigation, including police and mental health reports, will be considered as the
determining factors in the decision whether to re-admit. This decision will not be
finalized until after an initial meeting with the parents. The decision will not be made or
announced at that meeting. Any decision on whether to re-admit will require consultation
with the pastor.
9. Disciplinary action including suspension/expulsion will be administered, as appropriate.
10. If the student is re-admitted to the school, the mental health care professional must, at the
principal or pastor’s request, provide a follow-up assessment of the student within 30
days. The principal must be provided with a copy of the follow-up assessment and
evaluation and with any recommendation for therapy, counseling, or other treatment.
Cooperation with recommendations for continuing care will be a condition of re-
admittance and continued enrollment.
11. Counseling will be made available to children who are victims of the threatening
behavior or who observed the threatening behavior, if it is determined that such
counseling is needed and parental permission is granted.
12. Documentation from the mental health care professional concerning the student is to be
placed in a separate, confidential file and will not be part of the student’s academic or
disciplinary file. Only the principal and/or pastor should have access to these files. This
documentation will be kept for a period of one year beyond the time when the child
leaves the school as a result of expulsion, withdrawal by parent/guardian, or graduation
before being destroyed.
This policy will be reviewed periodically or as needed to accommodate changes, as mental
health professionals are continually addressing the area of risk assessment for violent or
potentially violent behavior.
