Public Display of Affection

Being overly affectionate in school is not in good taste and will not be allowed. AVHS recognizes that genuine feelings of affection may exist between students. However, students should refrain from inappropriate, intimate behaviors on campus or at school related events & activities. Students are expected to show good taste and conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen at all times. The limit for affection shown on the Alta Vista High School campus is that of holding hands.
Lewd and/or inappropriate Public Displays of Affection such as kissing, touching, etc. will not be tolerated and will result in a parent meeting and possible suspension if inappropriate behavior continues after being warned. The expression of feelings of affection toward others is a personal concern between two individuals and not of others surrounding them.  Therefore, good taste and respect for others is the guideline for appropriate behavior.
