Dean's Office

The Dean's Office is primarily concerned with students’ adherence to the guidelines of behavior for the good of the individual and the community. As members of the Saint John Vianney High School community, students are expected to act as mature young adults and abide by the guidelines of behavior. For a complete disclosure of our policies, see our current Calendar and Handbook which is accessible on the Parents' page of the website and in Canvas.

Discipline Policy

The discipline code of Saint John Vianney High School has been designed to maintain order in the school so that each student and the entire student body can function properly. Our goal is to make each student aware that a breach of discipline affects him/her and the total group in some way. To counteract this negative effect‚ we hope to develop positive sanctions which will rectify the harm done to the individual or to the school group. SJV will identify and remove students who are incorrigible or who require an inordinate amount of educators’ time and energy at the expense of the attention that better-behaved students deserve. Certainly, educators try to encourage and aid students in behavior and values adjustment‚ but limits for accomplishing this do exist within the school setting. Educators have neither the training nor the time for dealing with extreme cases. Please note that no refund on fees paid to Saint John Vianney High School shall be provided when a student is asked to withdraw.

Attendance Policy

Prompt, regular attendance is essential to academic success. Parents and guardians are expected to foster these good habits in the student both for the benefit of students’ current academic achievements and to encourage mature adult behavior in the future. Students may acquire up to seven (7) absences per school term and retain credit for missed classes. More than 7 absences in a particular class (exceptions are made for excused absences) will result in automatic withdrawal of credit for the course. The student must be in class at least two (2) full blocks to be considered PRESENT for the day. For complete attendance policy refer to pages 19 and 20 our our Student Handbook (access located on the Parent page of our website).

Dress Code

Personal cleanliness and neatness in dress and appearance are demanded at all times. The dress code is in effect from the first day of school through the last day. Students are expected to be in full uniform upon entrance to school each day.
