Green Valley High School operates under a closed campus policy. After arriving at school, the student is not to leave school either during class, at lunch, or between periods without a passport. Students may not leave the building to go to the parking lot. Passports for appointments, illness, or any justifiable reason may be obtained with parental permission in the attendance office. Students may not leave campus at lunch or have lunch brought to them on campus. In addition, if students are ill, all phone calls to parents/guardians must be made from the Health Office.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:20pm to 3:30pm, following the regular school day, students may be assigned School Beautification as a resolution for minor disciplinary incidents. This may consist of helping to clear campus of trash, helping set up or clean up campus events or helping the building engineer complete minor beautification projects, etc.

Students serving after school detention will be given the opportunity to work off more than one hour if they participate in beautification activities.

Students misbehaving, not following directions or exhibiting insubordination/disrespect will be removed from School Beautification, parent will be called and student will be placed on suspension and/or recommendation for expulsion outside of Green Valley High School.

Students are expected to be in their assigned classrooms when the bell rings.  Tardy sweeps are conducted every period, every day.  Students who are tardy will be assigned detention either before school, after school or during lunch.  Failure to serve a detention will result in placement in In-House or further discipline.
