Campus Policies

Visitor Policy

CCA is a closed campus. All campus visitors are required to check-in with ID at the reception desk in the Administration Building to get a visitor pass.

Attention CCA Alumni: It's great to see you and we know that your teachers would love to catch up with you. CCA is a closed campus and teachers and students are busy in the classroom. We encourage you to make arrangements with the teachers you want to visit. Email the teacher at least 24 hours prior to your visit so they can notify the receptionist of your arrival. Bring your current ID and pick up your visitor's pass from the receptionist and you will be permitted to visit the teacher with whom you have communicated. Your former teachers love to hear what you have been up to!

Academic Policy

Honest behavior is an expectation for all students in the San Dieguito Union High School District. The purpose of this policy is to create and maintain an ethical academic atmosphere.

"Academic honesty" means that all academic work is the legitimate, truthful work of the student. Students submit tests, essays, projects, and homework that are free from fraud or deception. When taking tests or submitting homework, students rely on their own knowledge and preparation, unless otherwise instructed by the teacher. Students credit sources used when the wording, ideas, facts, statistics, or opinions of other persons or books are utilized.

Honest, ethical behavior is an essential component in the learning process. The superintendent is authorized to develop an administrative regulation designed to create and maintain an academic atmosphere of honesty in the San Dieguito Union High School District.
