NON-PARTICIPATION DUE TO INJURY OR ILLNESS Upon the written request of a physician and with appropriate written direction from the principal; teachers shall make modifications in a child’s educational program as necessary to comply with the terms of the medical order. As necessary and appropriate, the principal shall include special education professionals and other appropriate consultants. The teacher will provide a written copy of the modifications to the principal and the child’s parents or guardians. The principal will inform the teacher in writing of the physician’s release for the child to return to the regular instructional program.

CLASSIFICATION Classification will be done once a year at the time the student enters the current school year.

Students are classified according to their credit status. The minimum number of credits for a given grade level is: Sophomores-5 credits, Juniors-11 credits, Seniors-17 credits.

GRADUATION CEREMONIES Students must have successfully completed the requirements for graduation as established by the Board of Education in order to participate in commencement exercises. (see BOE policy JFC) Commencement is a ceremony in which families, friends and colleagues honor the graduating students. Graduation is a formal ceremony. Proper decorum is necessary and expected.

Appropriate dress is necessary. Commencement is a voluntary activity. If a student does not want to abide by appropriate decorum and dress standards, then the student should not participate.

Dress clothing is required.

VALEDICTORIAN AND SALUTATORIAN The Valedictorian and Salutatorian award are presented to graduating seniors who have completed the requirements for the diploma of distinction with the highest and second highest cumulative grade point average respectively. The grade point average will be computed at the conclusion of the eighth semester and will be based on a 4.0 scale. Semester grades will be used to compute grade point averages. In the event of a tie for valedictorian, there will not be a student or students named as salutatorian.

STUDENT RECORDS Students transferring from or leaving AHS must have an exit form signed by the student’s teachers, librarian, counselor, financial secretary, and the principal. A brief exit interview will be completed when the student leaves. All obligations must be met before the exit is complete. Student records and transcripts will be held until all obligations are met. If parents and students move to another school district during the school year or summer months, the student’s records will be sent to the appropriate school at the request of that school.

GUIDANCE SERVICES Guidance and counseling services are involved with the total activity of each student. Services include assisting students with educational, personal, and vocational concerns.

Counselors provide the following services: individual counseling, parent conferences, parentteacher conferences, high school planning, college planning, vocational planning, financial aid

reference, student appraisal, group aptitude, interest and achievement testing, student records and transcripts, and referral agents for school psychologist and outside school agencies.

Students and their parents are encouraged to call the counselor with questions or concerns that fall within the realm of guidance and counseling.

Schedule Changes/Drop-add Schedule changes must be initiated through the counselor. There must be a valid reason for a student to add or drop a class. A drop/add slip must be signed by a parent, the student and approved by the counselor or the principal. All schedule changes will be closed by the end of the first week of the semester except for those approved by the administration.

Second semester seniors and other part time students may drop a course without receiving an “F” if they withdraw by the fifth week of the semester. Students withdrawing after the fifth week will be assigned a failing grade.

Career/College Planning & Placement Counselors will assist students in planning for future occupations and professional employment.

Juniors are permitted one visitation day and seniors are permitted two visitations days (one per semester) to post secondary institutions. The student must plan the visitation with the guidance counselors at least eight days prior to the visit. Approval of parents, principal, counselor, and teachers, are required. A visitation form must be completed with the counselor to be recorded as a non-absence.

Testing The guidance office coordinates all testing for AHS including the NWEA, PLAN, PSAT, ACT, SAT, and ASVAB. Students should contact the counselors if interested in taking any evaluation.

STUDENT POLICIES ATTENDANCE POLICY Research shows that regular attendance is directly correlated with high academic achievement.

We ask that parents and students recognize the need for prompt and regular attendance throughout the school year. It is expected that each student will attend classes every day. Only through regular class attendance and a commitment to personal and educational growth can students achieve optimum benefits at Augusta High School. Our attendance policy is not intended to penalize students who have an occasional illness or miss infrequently for approved reasons. It does, however, emphasize that students are accountable for their attendance. (see BOE policy JB) Attendance Procedure When a student is absent, parents are encouraged to call the school (775-5461) between the hours of 7:45 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to report the nature of the absence. Parents who do not contact the school by phone need to send a written excuse with the student upon student’s return to school.

Documentation of medical or legal appointments should be presented as the absences occur. Any student’s absence not excused by a phone call from the custodial parent or guardian on the day of the absence or by a note written by the custodial parent or guardian on the day the student returns to school, will render the absence classification as “pending” until the parent has made contact.

Late Arrivals/Tardiness Students who arrive at school after the tardy bell must report to the office for an admit/pass to class. Students more than twenty (20) minutes late to first period will be considered absent to first period. Any student receiving their fourth tardy, and each subsequent tardy, will receive disciplinary action.

Excused/Unexcused Absences The principal or his designated representative shall be responsible for determining if an absence is excused or unexcused. It is important for all students and parents to know that an absence that is excused at home does not mean it will be excused at school. The following criteria will

be considered in making this determination: I. Excused Absences A. Personal illness B. Death in the family C. Medical or legal appointments D. Prearranged absence requested by parent and approved by the administration E. Severe weather conditions II. Non-Absences A. School activities B. School sponsored educational field trips C. Prearranged career/post secondary education visits III. Administrative Disciplinary Action (Non-Absence) A. Out-of-School suspension (no credit) IV. Unexcused Absences A. All absences that do not fall in the categories of excused absences B. Leaving school (class) when school (class) is in session without obtaining permission and/or signing out in the office Leaving Campus Students cannot leave campus during school hours without receiving permission of the custodial parent and an administrator. When permission is granted the student must sign out through the office.

Makeup Policy Students will be allowed to make up missed assignments if the absence is excused. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements to complete assignments with teachers.

Student’s who miss school due to vacations or family business known in advance, should get their assignments prior to the absence. The students will be granted a minimum of two school days for each day missed to complete their assignment. However, it may be impossible to earn daily participation grades during an absence.

Class work missed due to unexcused absences cannot be made up for credit. Students are encouraged to complete all missed assignments so they may keep up with their classes.

Excessive Absences Any student who is absent from school more than ten (10) days in any semester will be considered excessively absent. Attendance is taken each class period. For the purpose of counting, any absence up to two (2) class blocks will count as half a day. Any absence over two (2) blocks will count as a full day. The absence count for second semester seniors and other part time students will be prorated based on the number of courses in which the student is enrolled. Parents will be notified by letter when their student has missed seven (7) days during a semester.

Any student who is excessively absent as defined in this policy may be subject to placement on “suspended-credit” status and a hearing with the attendance committee. Parents will be notified by mail of their student’s “suspended-credit” status. Prior to such placement the principal or his designated representative will review the student’s attendance record.

If the absences are properly documented and a cooperative effort on the part of the student and his parents is sufficient to resolve the attendance problem, the principal or his designated representative may determine that a hearing is not necessary and that the student should be removed from “suspended-credit” status.

If the principal or his designated representative determines that a hearing is necessary, the student

and his parent will be required to meet with the Attendance Hearing Committee to determine if credit will be allowed. A student may not be denied credit (placed on “no-credit” status) unless the committee determines this to be the appropriate response to nonattendance or the student violates a condition of probation required by the committee for retention of credit.

The Attendance Hearing Committee will be determined by the building principal and will include the building principal or his designated representative, building counselor(s), at least one of the student’s classroom teachers and a teacher not currently associated with the student in either curricular or non-curricular areas.

Tardies to Class Students will be considered tardy when the final bell rings if they are not in class according to classroom procedure. If a student is detained in class, the detaining teacher is obligated to give that student a pass for admittance to the next class.

Truancy The Compulsory Attendance Law makes it mandatory that any child who has reached the age of seven (7) years and is under the age or eighteen (18) be enrolled in school. Any child not satisfying the requirements of the Compulsory Attendance Law (K.S.A. 72-1113) by being inexcusably absent from school three consecutive days or five or more days in any semester is considered to be truant. Habitually truant students can expect the county attorney’s office to be notified and subsequent court action if the truancy problem is not resolved.

If the child is 16 or 17 years of age, the child shall be exempt from the compulsory attendance requirements of this section if (1) the child is regularly enrolled in a program recognized by the local board of education as an approved alternative educational program, or (2) the child and the parent or person acting as parent attend a final counseling session conducted by the school during which a disclaimer to encourage the child to remain in school or to pursue educational alternatives is presented to and signed by the child and the parent or person acting as parent. The disclaimer shall include information regarding the academic skills that the child has not yet achieved, the difference in future earning power between a high school graduate and a high school dropout, and a listing of educational alternatives that are available for the child.

Foreign Exchange Students USD #402 School District recognizes the cultural benefits of foreign exchange student programs.

The Board of Education authorizes district schools to accept foreign exchange students as participating members of the school. Foreign Exchange students are admitted to the district on a tuition free basis. The schools may accept a maximum of three (3) students from district-approved exchange programs. Other organizations or individuals will be considered upon their application, with approval by the Superintendent of Schools. Exchange students will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the school year. No diploma will be granted, although exchange students at the senior grade level may participate in baccalaureate and commencement exercises. (see BOE policy JQKA-R)

STUDENT ATTIRE The primary purpose of the school program is education. Students in their manner of dress and grooming must be considerate of their fellow students so as not to distract them or cause disruption. The administration shall be responsible for determining the appropriateness of a student’s attire relative to this policy. (see BOE policy JCDB) Students should dress appropriately and groom themselves for school attendance in a way which reflects personal pride. This might be described as neat, clean, attractive, tasteful, moderate, modest dress. Students should take into consideration classes where additional safety measures are required for dress, such as laboratory classes, industrial arts classes, physical education classes, or art classes. The following is a list of specifics which can be helpful when faced with questions of appropriate school dress: 1. Shoes or sandals must be worn.

2. Clothing with offensive slogans or pictures, or explicit /implied meanings is unacceptable.

3. Clothing promoting or advertising drugs, alcohol, gang’s affiliations, and/or tobacco is unacceptable.

4. The hemline of any garment shall be sewn. Shorts, dresses, and skirts must reach at least fingertip length while standing. Shirt/blouse hemlines must touch the waistband of the pant at all times to prevent any midriff exposure.

5. Hats, head coverings/bandanas, chains, spiked jewelry, and excessive make-up, and sunglasses are unacceptable at school.

6. Tank tops, spaghetti, halter or strapless tops, midriff shirts, swim suits, open mesh, exposed under garments, sagging pants, or transparent garments are unacceptable at school. Low, revealing necklines will not be permitted.

7. Students are extended the privilege of possessing cell phones/MP3 players on school grounds; however their use is limited to after 3:00 p.m. These devices must be in the off position, not visible, nor be used before 3:00 p.m.

Students will be disciplined if these guidelines are not followed. Pagers, radios, CD/cassette players, etc. are unacceptable at school.

STUDENT CONDUCT The Board of Education of U.S.D. #402 has established certain discipline policies affecting students to which reference should be made for complete detail, and such policies are available in the principal’s office and are otherwise made available in the school buildings to the students. All students are expected to comply with the regulations for student conduct or behavior. (see BOE policy JCDA) Policy Statement • Students shall respect constituted authority.

CONSEQUENCES OF STUDENT MISCONDUCT Occasionally, students may become such a disruption to class, teacher, or other students that corrective measures need to be taken. As with the various degrees of misconduct there are varying degrees of consequences Teacher Detention If, after repeated problems, a student is not showing signs of improved behavior teachers may assign detention. If the assignment of the detention does not effectively resolve the behavior problem, or if the student fails to serve as assigned, the detention will be doubled. Attempts will be made to make parent contact. Failure to serve teacher detention will result in office referral and the assignment of office detention.

Office Detention Students will be referred to the office when the teacher has expended all avenues of teacherstudent discipline. Office detentions are assigned in one hour increments. Failure to serve the detention will result in increased detention time, or suspension.

Suspension and Expulsion The Board has policies for suspending by short term suspension or long term suspension, and for expulsion for willful violation of public regulations or policies for student conduct adopted or approved by the BOE for conduct which substantially disrupts, impedes, or interferes with the operation of the school; for conduct which results in conviction of the student for a criminal offense; or for conduct which constitutes disobedience of and order of a teacher, peace officer, school security officer, or other school authority when such disobedience can reasonably be anticipated to result in disorder, disruption or interference with operation of the public school or constitute substantial and material impingement upon or invasion of the rights of others. The policies provide for procedural due process and for hearings. (see BOE policy JDD)

ACTIVITIES-ATHLETIC CITIZENSHIP AND SPORTSMANSHIP RULE 52 The effective American secondary school must support both an academic program and an activities program. We believe that these programs must do more than merely coexist; they must be integrated and support each other in “different” arenas. The concept of “sportsmanship” must be taught, modeled, expected and reinforced in the classroom and in all competitive activities.

Therefore, all Kansas State High School Activities Association members stand together in support of the following sportsmanship policy.

Activities are an important aspect of the total education process in the American schools. They provide an arena for participants to grow, to excel, to understand and to value the concepts of SPORTSMANSHIP and teamwork. They are an opportunity for coaches and school staff to teach and model SPORTSMANSHIP, to build school pride, and to increase student/community involvement; this ultimately translates into improved academic performance. Activities are also an opportunity for the community to demonstrate its support for the participants and the school, and to model the concepts of SPORTSMANSHIP for our youth as respected representatives of society.

Sportsmanship is good citizenship in action! All actions are to be FOR, not against; POSITIVE, not negative or disrespectful!
