Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco

A St. Charles Catholic School student shall not knowingly possess, use, purchase, offer for sale, give to another or be under the influence of any illegal or unauthorized drugs, harmful intoxicants or alcoholic beverages within school buildings, on school grounds or during participation in school-sponsored activities. If a student violates this policy the administration will follow the same procedures as outlined in the Serious Threats section of the handbook.

A St. Charles Catholic School student may not knowingly possess or engage in the use of tobacco products in any form within school buildings, on school grounds, or during participating in a school-sponsored activity. The penalty for violation of this policy is a three-day school suspension. A second violation will warrant more serious consequences.

Students are encouraged to contact the school guidance counselor for assistance with a drug, alcohol and/or tobacco problem. This assistance may be sought from the counselor without fear of prejudice. Every effort will be made to give immediate assistance with confidentiality.
