Dear Parents and Students:
Both parents and students should read this comprehensive policy manual as it
contains information and policies, which are vital for your successful completion and graduation

policies and procedures contained herein. It has been our experience that over 90% of the
questions asked by students and parents are answered in this manual. Please take the time to
review this manual; your graduation may depend on it! SENIORS, also remember that you
cannot participate in the graduation ceremony if there are fines/fees owed at the end of the school
year.
** It is suggested that the tentative school calendar, A/B days, and school
phone numbers be placed in a convenient location for easy access.
** Please pay attention to our school website for up to date information
on COVID restrictions for the current school year.
**In accordance with the state of Utah and C.D.C. guidelines, masks are strongly
encouraged while in the school building this year. We also encourage everyone to socially

SCHOOL POLICIES & PROCEDURES
A. Attendance:
Hunter High School takes great pride in a student body that attends school regularly. Good attendance is the
first step in having a successful high school experience.
COVID-19 ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
Students who are exhibiting symptoms of illness should remain home. Parents/guardians may excuse
student absences as they deem necessary. Absences due to a positive COVID-19 diagnosis or quarantine,
will not result in penalties for the student. All other attendance expectations will remain in effect.
**Please understand that some of these policies may be adapted for our COVID-19 situation this year.
These policies have been adapted as best we can see fit, but administration reserves the right to make
adaptations throughout the year as needed.
**PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE OR CALL THE SCHOOL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS.
1. If your student is absent, call the school attendance office at 385-646-5363.
2. If your student went to the doctor or a professional appointment, please obtain a
note from the doctor’s/professional’s office, including the dates the student should be excused.
This will excuse the absence for a medical reason.
3. When a student arrives late to school:
a. Do not check in to the attendance office – report directly to class
b. Please email or fax the excusal note/medical note to the attendance office
4. If your student leaves school early, he/she MUST sign out in the Attendance Office. If a student brings a check out
note signed by a parent, signing out in the Attendance Office will suffice. If your student does not have a note, the
Attendance Secretary must speak to a parent/guardian on the phone before your student can be released!
5. You should receive an automated phone message each time your student is absent.
Please let us know if you would prefer that message to go to a phone other than
your home phones. Sometimes it is necessary for us to call during school hours.
Please keep us informed of changes in address and phone numbers IN PERSON by coming in to the Attendance
Office with a Utility Bill or Rental Agreement for verification of new address and/or phone number!
6. All absences must be excused within 5 school days of the student’s return to school. Absences not excused within the
5 days will remain unexcused. COVID-19 exceptions and adaptations may occur with policy.
7. Granite School District defines excused and unexcused absences below:
• Excused absence - Personal illness, death in family, family emergency, court appearance, serious circumstances at
home, etc.
• Long term illness - The parent/guardian should contact the school; statement from a physician is required.
COVID-19 EXCEPTIONS
• Unexcused absence - Oversleeping, assisting with home responsibilities, babysitting, vacations, deer hunting, etc.
• Pre-arranged absences - Occasionally a student will miss school for brief periods of time during the year.
In these situations, parents must contact the school to decide for make-up work prior to the student’s
scheduled absence(s). Students are responsible for all classwork and assignments missed. Pre-arranged
absences should not occur during the final days of any term.
B. Tardies:
Attendance and tardies:
• Attendance will be taken as usual, marking tardies or absences.
• Students at Hunter High School will be able to participate in activities for choosing to be in class and on
time. Activities will include movies, taco truck, free dance tickets, ice cream, donuts, and lots of other
incentives.
• If students are not in class when roll is taken, the student will be marked tardy or absent.
• Administration and teachers will have conversations with parents and students if concerns arise on tardies
and attendance.
• T-Tardy= 0-10 minutes late
• TW-Very Tardy- 10-30 minutes late
• A-Absent- After 30 min late
• Administration and staff will be conducting random hallway sweeps. Students who are out of class
during these times will be given a pass back to class.
o 3-5 sweep tickets-Phone call home
o 5-7 sweep tickets- overnight suspension-mandatory meeting with parents and administration
• It is very important for students to attend every class period every day!
C. Truancy (Sluffing):
COVID-19 ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
Students who are exhibiting symptoms of illness should remain home. Parents/guardians may excuse student absences as
they deem necessary. Absences due to a positive COVID-19 diagnosis or quarantine, will not result in penalties for the
student. All other attendance expectations will remain in effect.
Any absence from school that is not excused by the parent, or the school is considered an unexcused absence and will affect
students' citizenship.
Parents are notified by computerized phone call whenever their child is marked absent from class without an
excuse. Repeated sluffing may result in suspension, parent conferences, and/or alternative educational placement. The
computer does not contact parents for student tardies. A truancy is defined as an unexcused absence. On the first
truancy to any one class (per term) a student will receive a grade no higher than a “1"; on the second truancy, a grade of “0"
shall be earned.
D. School Check Out:
Students who leave during school hours must check out through the attendance office and receive a street
pass. Parents will be contacted to verify legitimacy of note; students returning to school must check in at the attendance
office where they will receive a pass admitting them to class. Failure to follow this procedure will result in an unexcused
absence (U) for each period missed.
E. Citizenship:
Granite School District requires that students earn a 2.0 cumulative CPA (Citizenship Point Average) in order to participate
in the graduation ceremony. Hunter High School offers citizenship detention classes each year. Dates and times of
citizenship detentions are posted throughout the building.
After each term of the senior year, parents receive a report card informing them of their child’s cumulative CPA and the
number of detentions needed to obtain a 2.0 cumulative CPA. Students’ cumulative CPA is also printed on their report card
each term. Parents are urged to review their child’s cumulative citizenship on a regular basis.
F. Textbooks:
1. All students who check out a textbook are responsible for the book that was checked out to them by the teacher.
2. If the student loses a book checked out to them, they must pay the exact cost of the book to Hunter High School so it
can be replaced.
3. When a book is returned at the end of the school year, the teacher will determine normal wear and usage and make
changes accordingly if needed.
4. The final decision will be at the discretion of the administration. No substitute purchased books will be accepted to
replace the lost book. Only full payment accepted.
5. If the book is stolen, students must file a police report with the school Resource Officer. Upon review of the report,
the cost of the book may be waived.
G. Business Partnerships:
Hunter High School has developed business partnerships with Arby’s, Café Rio, First Utah Bank, Hexcel, American Family
Insurance, Mountain America Credit Union, McDonalds, UPS, Fetzers, Ken Garff, Big O Tires, Subway, Kenworth

clean, safe manner that will not take attention away from the learning process. If students are out of dress code, they will be
asked to change or contact home if they do not have appropriate clothing with them at school. Administration reserves the
right to decide if a student’s clothing is appropriate. While we want our students to be comfortable, confident, and able to
express themselves, there are certain guidelines all students are expected to follow:
1. Appearance should not disrupt the learning process.
2. Dress should be clean, modest, and safe; outer clothing must cover underwear.
3. Students must always wear shoes or sandals.
4. Skirts, slits in skirts, and shorts should be no higher than mid-thigh
5. Holes in pants, shorts or skirts that are located above the mid-thigh are discouraged.
6. Tops are expected to cover the midriff, navel, and shoulders.
7. Hats, hoods, beanies, visors, bandanas, headbands, and hairnets/doo rags are discouraged. Hunter PRIDE hats,
beanies, and visors are the preferred headwear and students will be encouraged to earn these and wear them in
place of other headwear from home. Bandanas and hairnets/doo rags that have been adopted by street gangs are
prohibited (SEE #9 BELOW)
8. Distracting gloves or other types of clothing are not allowed inside the school.
9. No gang-related attire. This may include but is not limited to items indicated by Utah law enforcement agencies.
Gang names or old English lettering are not permitted.
10. Belts may not hang below the waistline and must be tucked into beltloops.
11. Spiked jewelry or chains used as belts or attached to wallets or to any part of the
clothing or body are discouraged.
12. Clothing which advertises tobacco/alcohol/drugs/weapons, displays or infers offensive/vulgar/sexual language or
behavior is prohibited.
The school administration reserves the right to make the final determination if an item of clothing is inappropriate for
school.
First Offense: The student will be asked to meet with a member of the administration. If it is a clothing issue, then the
student will be asked to change clothes. If it is a hat/headwear issue, then the administrator will ask for the hat/headwear to
be removed and kept in the office, with the expectation the student will receive it back at the end of the day.
Second Offense:
Parent may be requested to come in and meet with a member of the administration.
Third Offense: Possible suspension.
J. ELL (English Language Learners):
Students who meet eligibility requirements will be served in ELL classes during the regular school day. Testing, when
appropriate, will determine whether a student is eligible for services.
K. PARKING: Hunter High is not responsible for any theft or damage to cars in the student parking lot.
Parking for students on campus is by permit only and is a privilege which may be revoked by the administration at any time.
Permits may be revoked for excessive tardies, absences or inappropriate conduct during school hours (i.e. racing on school
grounds)
All student cars must be parked in the student parking lot (West of building) and should display their parking pass hanging from
the rearview mirror in the front windshield. The pass should be facing out so the front can be seen when looking through the
front windshield. Parking passes may be purchased in the main office for $10.00.
Students are not allowed to park in the staff and visitor parking lot east of the school and are not to park in ANY HANDICAP
spot without proper tags/authorization. Violators will be subject to a ticket or having their VEHICLE TOWED AWAY AT
THEIR OWN EXPENSE. This also applies to students who come from other campuses for classes at Hunter High.
Vehicles parked in violation of school policies will be ticketed by Granite School District Police and/or West Valley Police and
may be towed. Fines will be processed through the school’s bookkeeping office or through West Valley City Police
Department.

M. Home Instruction:
Granite School District will provide a home teacher for any student who has experienced a serious illness, injury, or surgery and
is unable to attend school for a long period of time. The student's counselor should be contacted to arrange for this program.

accommodation for students/parent not wishing to attend school in person.

repeat violations, for placement in an alternative program, expulsion from
school, or other action to resolve the problem
• A mandatory one-year expulsion may be imposed for any incident involving firearms. This policy has been adopted so
that students and staff can feel safe and secure at school.
3. Hunter High School: Bullying Prevention
SEE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FROM GRANITE SCHOOL DISTRICT:
Granite School District
2500 South State Street
Salt Lake City, Utah 84115
385-646-5000
Granite School District strives to provide safe, supportive, and welcoming schools for all students. District policies prohibit
conduct that is unsafe, disruptive, or disrespectful toward others.
i
School Safety
District policies do not allow for unsafe conduct. For example, District policies prohibit threats or acts of violence; real or look-
alike weapons; explosive or flammable materials; gang activity; criminal behavior; destruction or damage to property; willful
disobedience or defiance; and possession of illegal drugs, alcohol, or other prohibited substances.
Bullying, Cyberbullying, Harassment, Hazing, and Other Similar Conduct
Bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, hazing, and other similar offensive conduct is also prohibited. Generally, this type of
conduct includes an intent to cause distress or harm; involves a relationship with an imbalance of power; and includes repeated
acts (or one serious act) of violence, intimidation, humiliation, or social isolation. Offending conduct can be physical, verbal, or
written and may come in the form of social pressure, criticism, disrespectful behavior, or excluding others from an activity
intentionally. Conduct may be intended as retaliation toward another person, which is also prohibited. Offending conduct may
be obvious or subtle and it can include enlisting another person to commit the prohibited actions. Offending conduct can also be
considered discrimination if the conduct is based on a person’s race, gender, or some other protected classification.
Reporting and Correcting Offending Conduct
If you are treated in the ways described above, or you see another person being treated that way, please report the conduct as
soon as possible. There are many ways to make a report:
• you can talk to your principal, teacher, or another employee at the school.
