Act 311 generally states that any individual who makes real or false claims regarding shootings, bomb threats or to cause any other bodily harm to others is guilty of a Class I felony. Since its enactment, local law enforcement has started charging individuals, including students, in line with Act 311 if they have made threats against our schools. Making threats is not a joking matter and individuals may face fines and\/or imprisonment for their actions, whether intentional or not. Please speak to your children about the severity of making threats and the toll it will take on their future if they choose to make such a terrible choice. For more details, visit Act 311<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tremper High School holds respectful behaviors among all individuals paramount.\u00a0 For individuals that make decisions which oppose our expectation for respectful behavior, a number of interventions are employed to create a teachable moment.\u00a0 A complete list of behavior policies, including Dress Code, can be found by visiting: ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ School Board Policies<\/a><\/p>\n While these interventions are progressive, some behaviors may warrant certain interventions to be skipped\/escalated based upon school or district policy or procedures:<\/p>\n School Administration reserves the right to remove a student from any or all of the following privileges to preserve the integrity of our school pride:<\/p>\n At all times, we intend to behave as a Tremper Community with dignity and respect.\u00a0 Tremper High School cares for each other as a team and we assist those that may slip from expected respectful behaviors.\u00a0 The goal is to provide opportunities to learn from mistakes and make meaning from the renewed pursuit of respectful behaviors.<\/p>\n General student parking is available in the Ameche lot east of Tremper High School.
