- If a student is granted a transfer, he/she must meet the following transfer expectations at all times.
Transfer Expectations
A student on transfer is expected to:
- Maintain acceptable grades on all grade reports. Failure grades and/or multiple Ds, are grounds to revoke a transfer.
- Maintain acceptable attendance. Excessive absences, truancies, and/or tardiness are grounds to revoke a transfer.
- Maintain acceptable citizenship and work habits. Acceptable is defined by outstanding (O) or satisfactory (S) marks on all grade reports. A needs improvement (N) mark may be considered acceptable, but multiple Ns or an unsatisfactory (U) mark are grounds to revoke a transfer.
- Comply with school policies, conduct him/herself in an acceptable manner during school time and at school activities, and maintain an acceptable discipline record. Multiple referrals, Saturday Schools, or a suspension are grounds to revoke a transfer.
While on transfer, students are considered a guest at our school. La Quinta High School expects students on transfer to comply with these transfer expectations. Violation of these expectations will result in the transfer being denied/revoked, and the student will be returned to his/her home school of attendance. Depending on the circumstances related to the violation of terms listed above, students may be dropped immediately.
