LeyVa Middle School offers two unique options for students. When entering 7th grade, students will have the option to choose which educational style fits them best. There are two programs available: Bulldog Tech (BT) and Bulldog Pathways (BP).

Each program offers rigorous common core standards that are taught by highly qualified teachers. Each program also offers a collaborative teaching model.

Pathways has content specific teacher teams who collaborate together throughout the year to best support students who travel to all their classrooms. BT offers a co-teaching model that allows for the students to learn with two teachers per room in a dual
learning environment. Pathway also uses Project-Based Learning (PBL) as the method of delivery to teach the common core standards and to engage students.

Both programs offer technology usage to enhance the educational experience for students. What makes Pathway unique is the 1:1 teach to student ratio as well as the teaching method that is used.

The important part to remember is that we are one united middle school. All students have equal access to school programs, athletics, clubs, etc.

As a Bulldog, students have a choice in their academic program. Offering differentiated academic programs for students to choose makes our middle school cutting edge, student centered, and inclusive to all learners. At LeyVa, we are proud of our diverse academic programs and we strive to create a middle school experience that engages every student!

The district has adopted policies, in consultation with parents, regarding student and parent rights as well as arrangements to protect the privacy in the administration of protected information surveys and the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information for marketing, sales or other distribution purposes. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act gives parents certain rights with respect to their child’s educational records. More information is available in the school office.

Textbooks and Library Books

Students are responsible for the use and care of all textbooks issued to them. They are also responsible for any library books they check out. Students and their parents/guardians are financially responsible for lost or damaged books (Ed. Code 48904 ). Please be aware of this and take care of them appropriately. Library books should be returned on or before the due dates.

Search and Seizure

School officials may search any individual student, his/her property, or district property under his/her control when there is a reasonable suspicion that the search will uncover evidence that he/she is violating the law, Board policy, administrative regulation, or other rules of the district or school. The types of student property that may be searched by school officials include, but are not limited to lockers, desks, purses, backpacks, student vehicles parked on district property, cellular phones, or other electronic communication devices (Ed Code 49050, BP/AR 5145.12).

Attendance

It is the responsibility of the parents/ guardians to make sure students attend school daily (Education Code 48200). Students who miss more than the allotted absences or tardies from school will receive official notices of truancy (Education Code 48260). This process can lead to our district’s Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) (Education Code 48263) and ultimately, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office for review and prosecution (Education Code 48264 and 48293 and Penal Code 270.1).

Tardies

Tardies to School

A student is defined late to school if he/she is not in his/her seat when the late bell rings at 8:05 am. No exception.

Students must report to the Student Center to pick up a tardy slip before going to class.

• Tardies to class throughout the day may lead to reflection and/or exclusion from certain student activities.

Students are responsible for serving their assigned consequences.

Tardy Protocol

• 1st - Warning
• 2nd - Email / Phone Call Home
• 3rd - Reflection
• 4th - Reflection/Parent Meeting
• 5th - Friday Reflection
• 6th - Contract and Reflection

Truancy and Chronic Absenteeism

Truancy – “Education Code Section 48260 (a) A pupil subject to compulsory full-time education or to compulsory continuation education who is absent from school without a valid excuse three full days in one school year or tardy or absent for more than a 30-minute period during the school day without a valid excuse on three occasions in one
school year, or any combination thereof, shall be classified as a truant and shall be reported to the attendance supervisor or to the superintendent of the school district.”

Chronic Absenteeism “A student is considered a chronic absentee if he or she is absent 10 percent of the days they were enrolled in a school. Chronic absence is different from truancy which counts only unexcused absences and indicates a violation of California’s compulsory attendance laws. Average Daily Attendance (ADA) is the average number of students who attend school each day and is used for state funding purposes.”

Excessive tardies may result in exclusion from school activities.

Excused Absences and Tardies Examples*

1. Illness
2. Serious illness or death in the immediate family
3. Medical or dental appointments
4. Religious holiday observances

Unexcused Absences and Tardies Examples

1. Missing the bus, car breaks down, traffic delays, or difficulties with carpool
2. Trips or vacations
3. Family outings, babysitting, etc.
4. Overslept

*Excessive absences, excused and unexcused, are tallied up to determine chronic absenteeism (more than 10% of the school year missed).

Absences

Students who are absent from school for any part of the school day must have the absence reported to the school office by a parent or guardian.

The Student Center and Bulldog Tech offices open at 7:30 a.m. each morning and close at 3:00 pm. Parents/guardians should call the attendance number (408) 270-6710 to report the reason for the absence. Questions can be directed to Attendance Clerk in the Student Center.

Daily attendance and participation in class is important for the success of each student. Students need to be on time to all classes and ready to learn to maximize learning and instructional time.

Health Office

All medication taken by students during the school day must be kept in the Health Office with the appropriate documentation. This documentation includes permission by a doctor and/or parent or guardian accompanying the item(s).

For confidentiality, health and safety reasons, the Health Office is ONLY for students who are ill or injured.

Contact the Health Aide with questions.

Safety Plan and Emergency Procedures

Our school has a comprehensive safety plan in compliance with Educational Code Section 32280.

Additionally, we have an emergency plan in the event of an earthquake, fire, intruder on campus, evacuation, etc.

Drills are held monthly in preparation of an actual emergency.

There is a Parent Guide to Emergencies available upon request.

Public Health Guidelines

LeyVa Middle School and the Evergreen School District follow all health and safety guidelines of the Santa Clara County Public Health Department, the California State Department of Education, and other district recommendations. This includes, but is not limited to, wearing a protective mask, hand washing, or other health safety procedures.

Safety Expectations

During the School Day

Students are required to remain on campus during the entire school day. If a student needs to leave early, the student must be signed out of the front office by a parent or designee listed as an emergency contact. Leaving campus will result in an after school reflection, Friday School, and/or loss of privileges.

After School

Students must leave campus immediately after school unless they are involved in a school-sponsored activity and under the supervision of a staff member. Failure to do so will result in reflection or loss of privileges.

Breakfast and Lunch Procedures

The Bulldog Café makes purchasing breakfast and lunch at school quick and efficient. The food is prepared on site, which makes it tasty, fresh, and nutritious.

School meals and other items are available daily:

• Breakfast FREE FOR ALL STUDENTS
• Lunch-FREE FOR ALL STUDENTS.

While lunches are free for 2025-26, we ask that you please complete the school lunch application at Child Nutrition Services.

Lunch menus can be found at Child Nutrition Services.

Students must eat breakfast and lunch in the designated eating areas for supervision and clean up purposes.

For safety reasons, parents and/or visitors ARE NOT allowed to eat with students in the parking lot during break and/or lunchtime.

Due to food allergies, child nutrition guidelines, and dietary restrictions, you can only provide food for your own child.

No off-campus food of any kind may be brought on campus to share with students in class. This includes orders from food delivery services.

No Food delivery services are allowed due to campus safety. All orders will be denied delivery.

Celebratory Items

Celebratory items are not permitted. Items such as balloons, flowers, and gifts should be left off campus, during school hours. These items create distractions to the learning environment.

Additionally, food items such as cupcakes, pizzas, cakes, etc., are NOT allowed. This includes both home baked/prepared goods and purchased goods.

Behavior Belief

Our goal in creating and maintaining behavior standards is to provide a safe and positive learning environment for our students by emphasizing the positive opportunities to be recognized, get involved, and feel a strong sense of belonging.

• We want everyone, students and staff, to be emotionally and physically safe.
• We need students engaged in learning, as much as possible.
• We believe building strong relationships are a key to the problem solving and the restorative process.
• We believe all those involved in any incident deserve to be heard.
• We believe that whenever possible, everyone should have the opportunity to make things right and rebuild trust and relationships.

Rewards and activities play a role in creating a positive school climate. These include, but are not limited to, Bulldog Bravos, spirit competitions, dances, assemblies, special awards and recognition, field trips, community and school events, virtual events and more.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

PBIS is a school-wide approach that includes five quality characteristics to enhance school climate:

1. Promote positive behavioral expectations
2. Teach behavior expectations by modeling what is expected.
3. Reinforce positive behaviors with rewards and praise.
4. Implement consistent consequences for inappropriate behaviors.
5. Utilize restorative practices to support repairing harm for victims, building empathy, and reducing reoccurrence of problems and conflicts.
