The school will treat allegations of hate speech and intimidation seriously and will review and investigate such allegations in a prompt, confidential, and thorough manner. False reports of hate speech or intimidation are unacceptable and will be dealt with severely.
The Assistant Principal of Women and the Assistant Principal of Men will review incidents together. If either Assistant Principal is not available and it is necessary to have an immediate response, others can be designated as a replacement, beginning with the Vice Principal.
Off-Limit Areas
The following areas are off limits to Padua students during school hours unless given special permission to be there:
1. Padua's athletic fields, lawn areas, garage area, and parking lots
2. The wooded area to the west of the school including the transmitting tower property. Loitering in
this area is always prohibited.
3. St. Anthony School, Church, Rectory and parking lot areas
4. All side streets and fields between Padua and Ridgewood Drive
5. Faculty and coaches’ offices
6. Locker rooms before 7:45 a.m. or during the school day, unless in gym class
7. 2nd and 3rd floor halls and stairwells are off limits after 3:00 p.m. unless under the supervision of a
teacher.
After school is dismissed at 2:29 p.m., unsupervised students are not allowed in any classrooms, corridors, locker rooms, offices, or the gym. Students who are waiting for transportation should do so either in the lobby or in a supervised cafeteria and/or library from 2:45 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Athletes waiting for practice are restricted to a classroom selected by and under the supervision of their coach or his/her adult designee. No other students should remain in the building.
Students who are entering and leaving Padua's property must do so by using the main driveway from State Road, Riester Street or Forrest Hills Drive. Exiting and entering via St. Anthony's driveways are not allowed. Otherwise, no parking, driving, walking or loitering on the side streets is permitted. Likewise, no loitering is allowed anywhere in the neighborhood near the school. Failure to abide by these rules may result in a suspension. Continued disregard of these rules can result in dismissal.
Students may use only the sidewalks and driveways near St. Anthony Church and Rectory. They are to stay off parish property and the lawns surrounding parish buildings.
Removal from Class
When all reasonable and usual appeals to a student have failed to bring about a student's conformity to a teacher's request for cooperation in the classroom, the student may be suspended from class. The student may be removed from class for the rest of the term. If the student is permanently removed from the class, all credit for the class will be lost and an F will be computed for that semester.
Saturday Detention
For those offenses that warrant a more serious response than a detention, but are not grave enough to warrant a suspension and probation a Saturday detention will be issued. The penalty for a Saturday detention is to spend two hours in school on the first detention Saturday following the Saturday detention notification. Students are to report to the detention room by 9:00 a.m. Tardiness will not be tolerated. Students are to dress according to the dress code and are to bring writing instruments and paper.
Some examples are:
• cell phone violation, second offense
