SLUH Student and Parent Handbook - St. Louis University High ...

Student demerit cards are part of a system to monitor student behavior. A
number of infractions are listed on the back of the card. After either 5 or 4
infractions, a jug (a one hour detention after school) will be given.
When a student receives 22 demerits a Saturday Jug (6 hours of detention) and
a parental conference will take place. When a student receives 10 automatic
jugs a 1 day in-school suspension and a parental conference will take place. A
student is suspended if he receives 30 demerits. If a student receives 16 or
more demerits in a given year, he is put on a behavioral, disciplinary contract
the following school year.
The discipline contract is a personal contract for the student to reflect on the
excessive number of demerits and put a plan in place to ensure a more positive
year. If the contract is broken, the student will serve a Saturday jug (6 hours).
Alteration or defacement as well as loss of the student card will require its
replacement, for which a $5.00 fee will be charged and two demerits may be
given. If a student finds his lost card, he should turn it into the office of the
Assistant Principal for Student Life. Being in possession of demerit cards
other than the student’s own will result in jug(s). When a student loses his card
a second time, in addition to the fee and demerits, an automatic jug may be
imposed.
A student must give his card to any faculty or staff member on request. A
student must report to the office of the Asst. Principal for Student Life after
dismissal any day his card is kept by a teacher to serve his jug. THE JUG
WILL BE SERVED ON THAT DAY, IMMEDIATELY AFTER
SCHOOL, REGARDLESS OF CO-CURRICULARS. Failure to speak with
the Asst. Principal for Student Life that day may result in a DOUBLE JUG.
D. Student Photo Identification Cards
Each student will receive a photo identification card.
All students should have their photo identification cards with them at school or
at school functions. A demerit will be given if a student does not have his card.
If a student loses his card, he should report this loss to the Asst. Principal for
Student Life. A lost student identification card will require its replacement, for
which a $10.00 fee may be charged.
1. Disciplinary Probation
The purpose of disciplinary probation is to set very definite limits to
a student's behavior. A student need not have been suspended to be placed on
disciplinary probation. Violation of disciplinary probation can be grounds for
dismissal from St. Louis University High School. A student violates
disciplinary probation if he is involved in a similar offense (as that causing the
probation) during the period of time in which probation is in effect; or a
