THE VICTORY BELL

A

fter the commencement ceremony at Hebron Academy, the graduating class joins together; they grab hold of a strong rope, hand beside hand, and they pull in unison to ring the victory bell. The bell is a sound recognized by everyone in the Hebron community. Throughout the year, athletic teams ring the bell in victory and, just as with graduation, there is a moment of admiration, a celebration of achievement and success.

Ringing and responding to the bell is a deeply-felt tradition and source of pride at Hebron—but even more than the bell, it is the rope that embodies our character.

Through joining together on the rope, our achievements are shared with the community. And, through joining together as a community, we return our support to the team. Figuratively, each of us lends a hand in pulling the rope and ringing the bell.

That is the way we live at Hebron. We are a community first and foremost. At Hebron our community honors and respects differences. It is supportive of each individual and cheers for every success: academic, athletic, artistic.

We have no need or place for status, social privilege or entitlement. Here, pretenses are dropped. Privilege is set aside. People become themselves. And respect is freely given in the most egalitarian of ways.

Hebron is real. Our culture is based on values of trust, honor, and respect. We set examples for each other in our daily lives. We work together in groups to develop and participate in activities that enrich our community. We encourage each other to achieve beyond our own expectations.

Our ways are inclusive, yet there is no compromise in individual achievement.

Working together with respect for the betterment of community does not weaken the resolve to succeed; it strengthens it. Hebron students know that this community honors and respects each individual as an integral part to our identity. They are elevated by the encouragement they receive for their successes, and the support that is shown for their struggles.

The Hebron Rope is over 200 years “long.” It grows longer today, as it has since the beginning: one community, one contribution, one success, one individual

at a time. Join together. Pull the rope. Ring the bell. And in that glorious sound, hear the voices of all who grasp the rope with you today—and of the many that held it before—cheering your endeavors, cheering your success.

ACADEMIC CALENDAR - The academic year is divided into fall, winter and spring trimesters with examinations at the conclusion of the fall and spring trimesters. The fall trimester runs from September to November, the winter trimester from December to March and the spring trimester from March to June.

ACADEMIC GUIDANCE CENTER (AGC) - Modeled on services available at most colleges, the Academic Guidance Center is for those who have the aptitude to succeed at Hebron but who may have mild educational needs or lack adequate study strategies and organizational skills. The program helps students become reliable self-advocates as they grow to understand their own needs, both in and out of the classroom. The center is located in Hupper Library.

ACTIVITIES A variety of non-athletic afternoon activities are offered, including outdoor education, music, art, drama and yearbook. Space for these activities may be limited. Students are required to participate in athletics or Outdoor Education during their first trimester at Hebron Academy.

Middle and Upper School advisors meet with their advisees every week. Parents receive their first communication from their child’s advisor at the start of school and have an opportunity to meet the advisor during registration. After the first week of classes, advisors contact parents to touch base on each student’s adjustment.

CLASS OFFICERS Each class elects officers early in the Fall. Officers lead the class in activities focusing on three goals: Spirit, Service, and Fundraising. All class officers meet monthly as a council to discuss their class progress towards achieving these goals. Funds raised are used for class activities and for the senior class gift.

Hebron students engage the community and provide assistance wherever the need and opportunity arises.

High Honors designation is for students with averages of 3.3–3.69, inclusive. Students whose averages are between 3.0 and 3.29 are designated Honors students. In effect, the Honor Roll designations reflect academic averages of B, B+ and A- or better. In addition, a student who receives more than one grade below B- and/or any grade below C will not qualify for Honor Roll. Many insurance companies offer a Good Student discount to students who have averages of B or better for the preceding trimester. If you are on the Honor Roll for a trimester, the Studies Office can verify your Good Student Certificate.

HUPPER LIBRARY Home to the Academic Guidance Center, Hupper Library also has two floors of reference and circulating materials as well as computers for student use.

ImPACT Hebron participates in an innovative program for evaluating and treating mild brain injuries, more commonly known as a concussion. In order to better manage concussions sustained by our student athletes, Hebron has partnered with the Maine Concussion Management Initiative (MCMI) to acquire a software tool called ImPACTTM (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing). Hebron is asking your son/daughter to take the computerized exam before beginning the sports season.

The test is set up in a video game format and takes about 20 - 25 minutes to complete.

The ImPACTTM test is a pre-season physical of the brain. It records information such as memory, reaction time, speed and concentration. The ImPACTTM test is noninvasive and poses no risk to your child. Taking an ImPACTTM baseline test may help

The Hebron Experience 2017–2018

Hebron Academy was founded by Revolutionary War veterans from Massachusetts who received land in the “district of Maine” (in Massachusetts) as compensation for their military service. They settled the community in the late 1700s, established a church, and then chartered the school in 1804. The pioneers were “poor in goods, but rich in courage and hope.” The early settlers faced many challenges, including making a living in the wilderness, building a community, governing themselves, and educating young people in such a thinly populated settlement.

Among the settlers was Deacon William Barrows, who led the effort to establish Hebron Academy and was a member of its Board of Trustees for 33 years, until his death in 1837. Interest in the school stretched well beyond the small settlement of Hebron. Five of the nine original trustees came from surrounding towns including New Gloucester, Paris, Turner, and Minot.

The school opened its doors in 1805 to 25 young scholars, boys and girls.

Many students rented rooms from Deacon Barrows and area farmers. By 1807, there were 50 students. The first dorm would not be built until 1829.

The first preceptor, or headmaster, was William Barrows, Jr., a Dartmouth College graduate. Many of his successors were alumni from Dartmouth and Bowdoin College. Preceptors often taught for a short time, and then went on to study law, medicine, or theology.

In 1819, the school faced disaster when the Academy building burned. Neighboring towns saw an opportunity to move the school to their respective communities, but Deacon Barrows vigorously and successfully defended the school during an hour-long address to his fellow Trustees.

His speech concluded with a dramatic, emotional statement accusing wealthier neighbors from Paris Hill of “taking advantage of our misfortune” and trying to

“steal away our little ewe lamb...the offspring of our prayers and tears and toils.”

The speech became part of the Hebron Academy culture. It has been reenacted for special events and is commemorated in a memorial window to Deacon Barrows in today’s Hebron Community Baptist Church. “Old Brick,” Barrows’ home where he delivered his speech, still stands between the former gymnasium and Atwood Hall.

The school year in the 1800’s was much different than what is typical today, as was the organization of classes. The schedule was often affected by the weather and farming needs. Courses started fresh during the terms to accommodate short-term students who arrived from farms or workshops. There was a college-prep track, and a noncollege-prep track (girls were not going on to college). Some students were as young as 10, while others were 30-year-old war veterans. Enrollment varied widely depending on the term.

Early subjects included Latin, Greek, French, German, Spanish, and Italian, English, mathematics, geography, history, natural sciences (anatomy, physiology, mineralogy, astronomy, botany, natural philosophy or physics, and chemistry), civil polity, logic, rhetoric, mental philosophy, English grammar, parsing, Webster’s dictionary, and English composition.

Debate was an important activity for many years.

The school was not organized into classes and students did not officially “graduate.” Those planning to attend college studied until they felt they had prepared enough to pass a college entrance exam. Many Academy students went on to Dartmouth, Harvard, Bowdoin, and Colby. The school began official commencement exercises in 1878.

Celebrations were quite different, too. Before the advent of television, radio, motion pictures, or public address systems, people listened patiently for hours to “live” speakers and performers.

Commencement exercises lasted all day, with dozens of speeches and music recitals.

From the beginning, Hebron was an inclusive, welcoming community. Girls learned alongside boys. In the 1800s and early 1900s students arrived from Mongolia, Burma, India, and Bulgaria.

When World War I arrived, at least three faculty men resigned to enter the war and several students enlisted. Many alumni also fought in the war. Harold T. Andrews (1914) died in the battle of Cambrai in 1917, and was the first Maine boy to die in the war. A Portland post of the American Legion carries his name.

Philip Frothingham (1915) was killed in an airplane accident in France and the Portland post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars bears his name.

In 1922, feeling the pressure to offer more specialized schooling, Hebron became a boys school. Ralph L. Hunt became Headmaster and the school continued to expand. More buildings

were added to the campus, including the first Stanley Arena—the only covered hockey arena in prep school circles at the time—and Sargent Gymnasium, which included two basketball courts, a squash court, basketball cage, several locker rooms, a lecture room and laboratory, auditorium and swimming pool.

As growing numbers of faculty and students alike enlisted in the armed forces during World War II, the Trustees voted to close the school. It reopened in the fall of 1946 with a new faculty, a new student body and a new Headmaster, Claude L. Allen. The school acquired local homes to house faculty; Treat Science Hall, Hupper Library and Halford Hall were built; and Dwyer Fields were constructed.

As boarding enrollments declined across the country during the seventies, Hebron began day programs to meet the needs of local communities. In 1972, the school also returned to its coeducational roots and once again admitted girls.

Today, Hebron continues to draw students from the local area, the United States and the world. The school now serves boarding students in grades nine through postgraduate, and day students in grades six through postgraduate. A strong college preparatory academic program is complemented by opportunities in arts and athletics open to every student.

your child understand that range of cognitive problems that can happen from head injuries, and may also assist in the diagnosis of a concussion should a head injury occur and a follow up test be taken1.

When a concussion is suspected, the athlete is immediately removed from play and evaluated by a certified athletic trainer. School nurses and certified athletic trainers can administer the post-injury test. Although these individuals can administer the test, a licensed healthcare professional must make the return to play decision. The computer can then compare the results of the post injury test to the original baseline.

Hebron Academy strives to keep your child’s health and safety at the forefront of their athletic experience.

Over the years Hebron has welcomed students or faculty from nearly every continent. The program is undergoing changes to meet the needs of its increasingly diverse student body. These changes will be communicated to families as they occur. In addition, every effort will be made to help new and returning students arrive on campus. To facilitate this, students should send their travel itineraries to the school by August 1st. Please e-mail Transportation Coordinator at travel@hebronacademy.org. Departure/Arrival time and fee specifics will be relayed to students prior to all vacation travel dates.

Students and parents should be aware that we have three major school breaks when the campus is closed: a week in November for the Thanksgiving holiday; approximately 18-20 days in December over the Christmas holiday; and approximately 20 days for Spring Break in March. We also have one long weekend during Fall Term. Most international students return home for the longer vacations.

International students may contact the International Program Director for assistance with any aspect of life or academics at Hebron Academy. iPad PROGRAM Hebron is part of the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI).

PARENT COMMUNICATION While one of the goals of Hebron Academy is to make students independent learners, it is important that parents are involved along the way. Parents are encouraged to use the interactive myHebron online community as a central means of communication with the School, whether messaging teachers or downloading a student’s grades and comments. Families should expect to hear from the Academy on a regular basis throughout the year, starting in the summer with mailings and electronic newsletters; the parent e-newsletter is distributed weekly during the school year by the Communications Office. Your student’s advisor will contact you within the first few days of the school year and send you summary reports at the end of each trimester. Teachers will write midterm comments and final grades and comments at the end of each trimester, all of which are posted on myHebron. Parents of juniors may expect to receive an electronic newsletter and mailed correspondence from the College Counseling Office starting in the spring, which will continue throughout their son or daughter’s senior year. Should your student have difficulties either within or outside of the classroom, you can expect a note or email from a teacher, advisor or dean regarding the situation.

Parents should establish contact with their child’s advisor and keep the advisor apprised of events in the family that might impact the student and work with the advisor to make the school experience a productive one for their child. Parents are also free to contact teachers directly and may contact an administrator at any time.

PARENT CONFERENCES Parent Conferences are held during the fall Parents’ Weekend. All parents are invited to take this opportunity to discuss their child’s academic and social adjustment to the new school year. You will receive information about conference times and scheduling in advance of Parents’ Weekend.

PASSWORD see Computers PERMISSION FORMS Students are able to leave campus and do special things from time to time, particularly on weekends; however, the Academy needs to know what the student is doing. There are two forms that cover most situations: Weekend Permission Form and Planned Absence Form. Both of these forms are available from the Dean of Students’ office and require a student to get permission signatures from his/her teachers to miss class or to approve a weekend absence.

These forms are due to the Dean in advance of the planned absence. The school reserves the right to deny a student’s absence from school.

PERSONAL FUNDS The Business Office will maintain a personal account for each student once funded. Students may draw money from or charge to this account for personal use providing there is a sufficient balance. The amount used for personal expenses is up to each family. Twenty to thirty dollars per week should be adequate for general expenses. Plan on additional amounts for winter clothing, skiing equipment or other items for personal use. Please plan to give the Business Office two days notice when sums over $100 are needed. Withdrawal of amounts over $100 prior to vacation or long weekend should occur on the day of travel, when possible.

We strongly encourage all students to deposit any sizeable sum with the Business Office, rather than keep it in their rooms.

In addition, all charges incurred at school are charged to student accounts. This includes athletic charges, music lessons, studio art fees, standardized testing, transportation charges for trips, etc. Parents will receive a monthly statement showing all transactions and the balance in the account.

SNOW DAYS While each student’s parents will make their own decisions on the safety and prudence of travel to and from Hebron during times of inclement weather, Hebron Academy will, on occasion during times of weather emergency, make the decision to cancel classes, delay the start of the school day, or release students from classes and obligations early in the interest of providing for safer travel. When the decision is made, students will be notified via email and myHebron.

On the occasion of an early release, every effort will be made to notify parents, either by school personnel in the Middle School or by students calling their own parents in the Upper School. Please note: Any decision to cancel or delay classes at Hebron Academy will be made in the interest of the whole school and the day student population as a whole. Isolated or area conditions may make it appropriate for a student’s parents to decide that a student miss school when classes are still being held. Those students should contact their teachers concerning work that is missed as soon as they return to school. If a student is ever stranded at school due to the weather, he/she will be accommodated in one of the Academy dorms and given necessary meals.

TRAVEL By air Students fly into the Portland Jetport (PWM). At the opening of school, students traveling alone can be met in Portland if arrangements have been made through the Boarding Transportation Coordinator.

By bus We transport students to and from the Portland terminal at the beginning and end of school vacations. See Travel Resources box for more information.

Vacation Travel It is the Academy’s expectation that students will depart for weekends, winter break and spring break only after their last commitment on that day. Travel arrangements should not interfere with the class day. The school will provide bus transportation at the beginning and end of vacations at the most common intervals to accommodate travel times.

• Departures to the Portland Jetport and Concord Trailways, on the day the vacation begins as well as an early departure the next morning. Flights should be scheduled at least 2 hours after the above scheduled departure times from Hebron.

• Arrivals students should arrive at the Portland Jetport or Concord Trailways.

Students will be charged for transportation to or from Lewiston/Auburn and to or from Portland. *At this time, students are NOT PERMITTED to use UBER or Lyft transportation services.

If a student’s needs do not coincide with the departure and arrival times provided, they will need to arrange for their own transportation to or from school via taxi. If Hebron must provide transportation outside of scheduled times, there will be fees to or from Lewiston/Auburn and to or from Portland.

The Boarding Transportation Coordinator is available to assist students with travel arrangements. The purchasing or funding of any ticket is the responsibility of the parents or student.

To make special arrangements for transportation, please call or e-mail the Transportation Coordinator at 207-966-5277 or 207-592-6700, or travel@ hebronacademy.org.

Departure/Arrival time and fee specifics will be relayed to students prior to vacation travel dates.

The Hebron Experience 2017–2018

With permission students may seek extra help from teachers. Some will also work with the assistance of tutors in the Academic Guidance Center.

Those failing a course or having a low average GPA are required to study in designated places under closer supervision.

STURTEVANT HALL Sturtevant Hall, familiarly known as the School Building, lies at the heart of Hebron’s campus. Designed and built by John Calvin Stevens in 1891, Sturtevant Hall houses many classrooms in addition to the Head of School and academic administrative offices.

STURTEVANT HOME Sturtevant Home is Hebron’s largest residence hall, housing boys in grades 10 through postgraduate. The Health Center and Dining Room are located on the first floor of Sturtevant; the World Language Department is located on the lower level.

TEXTBOOKS Students purchase textbooks through an online bookstore available through a link on the Academy’s website. Both used and new texts for all of Hebron’s courses will be available. Once enrollments are set, a student may order books through the online service or from a local or internet source. Additional assistance with book ordering will be available for all new families at registration and in the opening weeks of school. If you need help ordering books or have questions, please call the textbook coordinator (see inside back cover for contact information).

TREAT SCIENCE HALL Opened in 1960 and named for George W. Treat 1894, the science building is home to science and mathematics classes, the computer lab and the Lepage Science Lecture Hall. It is located on the north side of campus between the School Building and the church.

UNION, The see Leyden Student Center VACATIONS see also Policies Except in extraordinary circumstances, the school expects students and parents to adhere to the vacation dates published in the yearly calendar. Arrangements which deviate from the published dates and times must be approved, well in advance, by the Dean of Students.

VALUABLES Living in a community like Hebron Academy requires an individual to use wisdom with his or her belongings. It is unwise to bring highly valuable things to school. Any item of value brought to school should be clearly marked with the owner’s identification. Do not leave belongings lying around and do not store money in your room (in that secret spot that no one knows about). Work with your roommate to be sure your room is kept locked at all times and that you do not allow others to use your room when you are not present.

The Hebron Experience 2017–2018

While the school does all it can to make the dormitories safe and secure, it does not accept liability for lost, misplaced or stolen items. The Academy recommends that each family contact their homeowners insurance company to be sure that items brought to school are covered by their policy.

VESPERS A non-denominational celebration of the season, held in December.

VICTORY BELL Rung to celebrate victories by fall and spring athletic teams and by graduating seniors after Commencement. Located on the hillside next to Dwyer Fields.

WEB SITE www.hebronacademy.org WEEKEND ACTIVITIES The Community Life Team coordinates on- and off-campus activities. Typical off-campus trips include movies and the mall as well as special events such as concerts, theater, snow tubing, paint ball, etc. On-campus events are as varied as movies, a hypnotist, dances and the “Mr. Hebron” contest.

WINTER CARNIVAL A week of special activities including special dress days (green and white, backwards, superhero, etc.) and Casino Night, among others.

ACADEMICS DIPLOMA REQUIREMENTS To receive the Hebron diploma, a student must successfully complete 18 Upper School credit units including the distribution requirements of the academic departments and pass all courses in the senior year. In addition, all seniors and postgraduates must attend all class events up to and including commencement to receive a diploma.

Distribution requirements for the Hebron diploma:

• English | ESL: 4 years; students whose first language is other than English must take a non-ESL English course their senior year.

Students will be tested for English proficiency and course placement each year until mainstreamed.

• Mathematics: 3 years; at least Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II. • Science: 2 years of laboratory science including life science (Biology) and physical science (Chemistry or Physics).

• History & Social Sciences: 2 years; United States History and one other course. Students whose first language is other than English must demonstrate sufficient proficiency before being placed in US History.

• World Languages: completion of two sequential years’ study of the same language in the Upper School.

• Visual and Performing Arts: 1 year’s study; ninth grade students normally take Introduction to Studio Art.

COURSES OF STUDY Should a senior fail one or more courses for a year but have fulfilled all departmental requirements, his or her case will be reviewd by teh Academic Affairs Committee and a recommendation made to the Head of School to grant or not grant a diploma.

In very unusual circumstances it is possible to petition the Academic Affairs Committee to have a portion of the graduation requirements waived. This usually has to do with documented learning disabilitiesl.

Howerver, in no case will 4 units of English or 1 unit of United States History be waived.

All students will take a minimum of five courses. Ninth graders in mainstream English will take six as part of the Ninth Grade Program. All students are expected to conduct their studies and to participate in classes with peers and faculty in English. ESL courses and additional assistance are offered to help students succeed.

The demands of Hebron courses are such that we do not actively encourage students to overload their individual schedules; however, some students do elect a sixth course in consultation with their advisors and the academic deans. At least one study period during the day is required.

50 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

College Preparatory Courses

All courses are standard college preparatory courses. Some courses may be offered only if there are enough qualified students.

Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) Courses

Honors courses are more intensive than regular courses, and departments review and approve applicants based upon past performance. Advanced Placement courses are rigorous courses taught at the college freshman level and are designed for students able and willing to undertake such demands.

Students are selected for honors and AP courses at the discretion of the departments which may take into account performance and attitude in prerequisite courses as well as standardized test scores.

Departments generally require grades of B or above in prerequisite courses.

AP students are required to take the corresponding exam in May. Each trimester the performance of students who do not maintain a C+ average in an honors or AP course will be reviewed to judge whether it is appropriate for them to continue in the course.

Sufficient qualified enrollment and staff are necessary to ensure the presence of some sections within the curriculum. In years when it is not possible to offer a specific AP section, stronger students may prepare for the AP exam in the

context of a regular class. Other courses are only offered if there are sufficient qualified candidates.

Independent Study

Independent study programs are intended for seniors or exceptional juniors who have special circumstances or have exhausted the Academy’s offerings in a particular area. Independent study is a third-credit option which may be approved on a term-by-term basis as a supplement to a regular course load. Independent study proposals must meet the following criteria: •S ubmission by the student of a detailed proposal outlining the scope of the project, the goals to be achieved and the assessment to be applied.

• Approval of the department involved and with both a willing teacher assigned and a common period in which the work is to take place.

• As a sixth course and only for a trimester at a time. Continuation of the course requires re-approval each trimester.

• As a one-third credit per trimester option (one credit for full-year) reported as pass/fail for transcript purposes.

• With final approval of the Academic Affairs Committee.

DEPARTMENT NOTES Complete department and course information is available on our

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2018 â&#x20AC;˘ 51

website: www.hebronacademy.org.

English

In a four-year progression, students will move from short narrative, expository and analytical essays to more advanced explorations of voice, structure, and genre. All English courses are writing intensive; daily assignments help students to gain the flexibility to articulate and shape their impressions and observations in a variety of essay forms. All ninth graders take Humanities English as part of the Ninth Grade Program.

In preparation for their entry into English courses, international students may be placed in ESL foundation courses, according to their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.

English as a Second Language Hebron Academy offers foundational and advanced ESL courses for English, history, and science. Placement in these courses is based on academic proficiency of English, not merely on conversational fluency or student grade. Successful students will be able to place into regular English before or by their senior year. Proficiency testing occurs at the beginning and end of each academic year. For students recommended by their teachers, testing can occur at midyear. The ESL curriculum focuses on English grammar, academic composition, inferential reading comprehension, formal speaking, complex listening

comprehension, and gaining vocabulary.

Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Studies aims to teach our students to think clearly, to use logical reasoning, and to manipulate quantitative relationships with accuracy. We teach problem solving as a process involving incremental steps that one can learn to follow with practice, we work with students to discredit the myth that either one can do math or one cannot. Because the worlds of education and work frequently require teamwork, our students practice communication with mathematics, acquiring this skill by talking with each other about math, explaining their thinking to each other, and justifying their ideas.

Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II comprise the required sequence in mathematics. All students must take three years in the Upper School, but four years are strongly encouraged.

Honors-level and AP courses are available at many levels. Ninth graders and International students new to Hebron Academy are required to take a math placement test in order to verify correct class placement.

Science

The Science Department members share their enthusiasm and interests to spark curiosity and to nurture and develop an interest in science.

It is important for students to understand that science is a process for approaching problems and that

the approaches used in science may be relevant to other situations in their lives. The department strives to provide students with a solid background in life and physical sciences to prepare students well for college level courses. Ninth graders are required to take Conceptual Physics or ESL Conceptual Physics as an introduction to all subsequent laboratory classes. Upperclass students take Biology, and either Chemistry or Physics depending on their course status when they enrolled at Hebron. Honors and Advanced Placement sections of biology, chemistry and physics are intense courses with significant laboratory experiences. They frequently require more time commitment.

History & Social Sciences

The history department at Hebron Academy feels strongly that students need to have an understanding of the past to comprehend the present. The department believes that cultural awareness is critical to future interpersonal communication skills as the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. The history department strives to make each student literate in the writing and discussing of historical concepts: Students will learn how to formulate and support their opinions in all modes of communication. All ninth graders will take Humanities History as part of the Ninth Grade Program or an ESL History course. The department

requires students to complete a course in United States History or Advanced Placement United States History.

World Languages

The World Language Department offers a flexible and inclusive model of instruction to accommodate and challenge learners of all levels and abilities. Each student progresses through the levels in a fluid way and may spend one, two, or in some cases three years in a given level. Students will be given a rerecommendation for advancement once they have mastered the skills for each level. These skills are outlined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.

The basic requirement is two yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; study of the same language at the upper school level. However, we strongly encourage students to continue their language study through advanced courses.

Visual and Performing Arts

Students at Hebron have many rich opportunities to actively participate in creative exploration in both the visual and performing arts. As practicing artists, musicians, and actors, the arts faculty bring a high level of experience to studios and classrooms and inspire a culture of risk taking, excellence and rigor of craft, and the freedom to find individual expressive voice. As part of the Ninth Grade Program, all freshmen will take Freshman Seminar: Creative Expression.

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2018 â&#x20AC;˘ 55

Studio fees exist in most courses to partially defray the cost of materials.

Visual Arts Those entering students with prior coursework in studio art who wish to take intermediate or advanced electives must be prepared to submit a portfolio to the Arts Department to substantiate their preparation and previous coursework.

Studio fees exist in most courses to partially defray the cost of materials.

Students in photography courses are required to own an appropriate camera, either non-automatic or with override of automatic functions. Enrollment is limited and preference given to continuing art students.

Music Hebron offers a wide range of music opportunities to students through ensembles and course selections.

Chorus and Orchestra are offered before school for a half credit and are open to all students regardless of skill level. We have a small selection of school instruments available for use in ensembles as well as access to a rent-to-own program if students are interested in purchasing an instrument.

Our extra-curricular ensembles, HeBeGeeBees and Jazz Band, meet one evening a week and require an audition to join. Students have numerous opportunities to share their work, from Musical Mondays at school meeting, receptions and

formal events, all school concerts and celebrations, as well as state competitions and festivals.

Advanced students seeking more focused, one on one instruction on instrument and voice can sign up for lessons at an additional fee billed to their student account.

Theater Theater classes do not require prior experience or course work.

Courses require students to see off campus performances. Ticket fees will be billed to student accounts.

Some course projects require additional supplies that students will need to purchase

FAILING A COURSE If a student fails a course for a trimester, the Academic Dean will confer with the student to be sure he/she understands the situation and make suggestions to improve academic performance. Those who fail courses for the year are reviewed by the Academic Affairs Committee.

To graduate, seniors are required to pass all courses in the senior year.

ACADEMIC WARNING AND PROBATION Any student who receives a failing grade in a course for any term or who has a term Grade Point Average (GPA) below a C (2.00) are placed on Academic Warning. The Academic Dean will meet with the student to determine the reasons and make recommendations or restrictions to encourage better performance.

This may include required tutoring

56 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

and supervised study. Students who have a failing grade for a second consecutive term or who have a trimester GPA below a D (1.00) will be placed on Academic Probation.

A student remaining on Academic Probation may not be allowed to reenroll. Parents will be advised in writing of these situations.

GRADES Hebron uses the traditional letter grades of A, B, C, D and F. A and B are Honors grades; C denotes satisfactory work; and D is passing.

Failure for the year (which carries no credit) is reported as F for school and transcript purposes.

For the computation of grade-point averages and honor rolls, the grades of A, B, C and D are converted to a 4-point scale where A = 4.0. Pluses and minuses are recorded as +.3 or -.3. Thus, the grade of C+ is 2.3; B- is 2.7.

Hebron ceased computing class rank on July 1, 1995. We report grade distributions to colleges to communicate the relative academic strength of our students.

Students with more than one grade below B- or any grade below a C are not eligible for Honor Roll.

ACADEMIC GUIDANCE CENTER The Academic Guidance Center (AGC)provides support for students who have the aptitude and potential to succeed at Hebron Academy but who may have mild educational issues or lack adequate study

strategies and organizational skills.

Through the program, students become reliable self-advocates as they grow to understand their specific needs both in and out of the classroom.

The program encourages development of strategies to support individual needs. Motivation and perseverance on the part of the student are key factors for success as the student moves toward selfadvocacy and independence.

Enrollment The Academic Guidance Center serves a range of students from those who require assistance with study and time management skills to those who are mildly learning disabled or diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. Hebron Academy may request that a student participate in this program.

If students have a documented learning disability, documentation should include an aptitude test like the WISC-III or -IV or the WAIS. Tests should also include an achievement test like the Woodcock Johnson or the WIAT II. These tests should also include recommendations for accommodations and a history of the student’s difficulties. Students must have the ability to be fully mainstreamed into Hebron’s college preparatory curriculum. Students and parents should indicate that there is a documented disability and perhaps the need for support during the admissions process. This will allow for the appropriateness of

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 57

our services to be mutually assessed by applicants and their families as well as by the Admissions Office.

Parents and students should meet with the Academic Guidance Center director to discuss the program. It is not necessary for students to have a documented learning disability to enter the program.

Students already enrolled at Hebron Academy may refer themselves for this service; parents or faculty members may also refer students.

Referrals will be reviewed by the program director to determine appropriateness of involvement.

Support Provided Support for these students is provided in one or more of the following ways as appropriate: • Routine communication with teachers and advisor to discuss progress and needs • Teaching of study skills and compensatory strategies • Teaching of time management skills • Academic tutoring (small group setting) • Accommodation plan management • Arrangements for testing accommodations, as necessary and individually determined, including oral testing, extended time, dictation, distraction-free environment • Assistance in preparing for college planning

Expectations

Students meet tutors on a 2:1 basis for either two or four periods a week, depending on the student’s needs. Participating students are expected to meet the responsibilities involved with this program just as they would any other class obligation. Responsibilities for this class include, but are not limited to: being prepared, being punctual and using time effectively. This class is scheduled as any other. Students will be removed from the program if they fail to meet their responsibilities.

Program Fee

There is a fee for this program.

Please contact the Office of Admission for more information.

PLAGIARISM The following statement is taken from the MLA Handbook For Writers of Research Papers, Theses and Dissertations. It applies to all original written work submitted in all courses at Hebron Academy.

Plagiarism may take the form of repeating another’s sentences as your own, adopting a particularly apt phrase as your own, paraphrasing someone else’s argument as your own or even presenting someone else’s line of thinking in the development of a thesis as though it were your own.

In short, to plagiarize is to give the impression that you have written or thought something that you have in fact borrowed from another. Although a writer may use another persons’s words and thoughts, they must be acknowledged as such.

58 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

Plagiarism is forbidden and is taken seriously A student risks losing full credit for any plagiarized assignment. Repeated plagiarism can result in dismissal from school.

COMMUNITY LIFE AND STANDARDS INTRODUCTION Hebron Academy is a community, and as such, the actions of any one member may affect other members of the community. Every student is expected to act in a responsible and socially mature manner; to respect the rights and property of others; to cooperate with school regulations and behave on campus, at extracurricular events and within the larger Maine community in a manner which lends credit both to the student and the school. We expect parental cooperation in upholding these standards.

A healthy tension between the assertion of individual interests and the maintenance of community values and standards exists in all groups. The school and the family share the task of establishing the right balance between freedom and responsibility in the development of mature young men and women.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, this statement of policies and expectations is intended to clarify the school’s expectations for both students and parents.

These standards are rooted in a fundamental concern for health and safety as well as for sound personal, social and intellectual development of young men and

women in recognition of the school’s responsibilities to its students, their parents and society. By accepting admission to Hebron Academy, each student expresses a willingness to live up to these policies and expectations to the best of his or her ability.

The following is a summary of the central values and responsibilities shared by the Hebron school community.

SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS By enrolling at Hebron, each student agrees to abide by its rules and each parent agrees to support the school’s policies, which fall into seven categories. These rules apply: a) any time a student is on campus; b) a ny time a student is participating in or attending a school-sponsored event; c) any time a student is officially representing the school; d) a ny time a student is traveling to or from school or on schoolauthorized transportation; e) a nywhere a student has been transported by the school (airport, bus station, etc.); f) on day and weekend sign-outs; g) when hosting a boarding

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2018 â&#x20AC;˘ 59

student(s) on day or weekend sign-outs.

The school regards any behavior prejudicial to the best interests of Hebron Academy by anyone in the Hebron community, whether at school or elsewhere while school is in session or during a vacation, as sufficient grounds for a disciplinary response.

Hebron Academy expects all ­students to:

1. Respect the person, rights and property of others. Fighting with, intimidating or threatening other members of the community will not be tolerated. There is to be no hazing, either physical or emotional. Any form of harassment, coercion or abuse, either sexual, physical, emotional or psychological will incur a severe disciplinary response, as will vandalism and malicious mischief (see Harassment Policy below).

2. Respect the religious, ethnic, social and economic background as well as the sexual orientation of all members of the Hebron Academy community and the Maine community at large. Abusive or prejudicial behavior based upon religion, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation will result in strong disciplinary measures.

3. Be honest in all matters. Lying, cheating, stealing, plagiarism, deceit and misrepresentation are serious offenses.

4. Practice habits which promote healthy living. Students may not use tobacco, chewing tobacco,

ecigarettes, vapes, alcohol or other drugs. The purchase, possession, distribution, presence of paraphernalia associated with and/or use of tobacco, alcohol or other drugs is prohibited, nor should students be in the presence of aforementioned items. The school reserves the right to require a drug and alcohol screening at any time.

5. Meet all commitments and obligations. a) Students are expected to be prompt in their attendance at all classes, study halls, extracurricular and athletic commitments and at all school meetings. b) S tudents may not leave campus without permission. Anytime a student wishes to leave the main campus, he/she must sign out with the Administrator on Duty.

6. Form healthy and growth enhancing relationships While we recognize development of sexual curiosity occurs as one transitions from childhood to adulthood, students are to abstain from sexually intimate behavior. Should interactions occur, they need to be consensual and respectful.

Public displays of affection which compromise the comfort of others are not acceptable behavior. Co-ed visitation in dorms are also not allowed.

The Academy reserves the right to take disciplinary action if a student refuses to follow this

60 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

policy on sexual intimacy.

Our counselors and nurses are available to discuss issues of sexuality and reproductive health.

Discussions will also take place in Community meetings, Life meetings, and Advisory meetings.

7. Behave in a way that reflects favorably upon Hebron Academy.

A student who does not behave in such a manner should expect such behavior to become a disciplinary issue.

Failure to adhere to the Academy’s rules and expectations will result in a disciplinary response. These responses include, but are not limited to: work detail, probation, suspension and dismissal. While there are not fixed sanctions linked to individual infractions of school rules, specific disciplinary guidelines are consistently followed. Usually, no single violation of rules necessarily results in expulsion from school.

However, some offenses may result in a recommendation for immediate dismissal. Such infractions include, but are not limited to: using, distributing, and/or possessing drugs and alcohol; stealing; cheating or lying; taking physical or emotional advantage of another; abuse based on racial, religious or ethnic background; abuse based on sexual orientation; violence.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES The school reserves the right to discipline any student who demonstrates an unwillingness

to cooperate with the school’s expectations.

The Dean of Students and Assistant Head for Student Life deal personally with routine matters and will notify the Head of School, who may become involved in the administration of discipline as appropriate.

Disciplinary Actions

Work detail may be assigned by the Dean of Students or the Assistant Head for Student Life.

If a student does not attend work crew at the assigned time, he or she will be re-assigned during activity/ athletic time. Students who miss a second time will serve an in-house suspension.

Suspension—A student may be suspended for the violation of a major school rule, accumulated absences from commitments or continued unsatisfactory behavior.

The term of suspension varies but is usually two to five days. Upon return from the suspension, the student is usually placed on Disciplinary Probation.

Any violation of school policy is seen as a Community Violation and when these violations reach the point of suspension, we feel it is important for the student to leave the community for a period of time. Suspension gives the student some time at home to discuss with parents the commitment involved in living within the school community and the importance of meeting our expectations. If a student is unable

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 61

to travel home to serve his/her suspension, the school will arrange a home-stay or contract with a suspension service; necessary fees apply. The school may also require that the student attend a suspension program in lieu of a home-stay.

Details will be worked out between the Dean of Students or the Assistant Head for Student Life and the student’s parents or guardian.

All students must have an Englishspeaking guardian with whom to make arrangements. The student will be held responsible for all work that has been missed during a suspension.

Another form of suspension is an in-house work day. During an in-house work day, a student will engage in community service on campus.

Any make-up work for classes, assignments and tests lost due to suspension should be made up in an appropriate amount of time as determined by the teacher. A student who returns from suspension may not expect special consideration for make-up work. A student suspended from school must expect that suspension may impact his or her grades.

Dismissal—A student may be dismissed from the Academy for the violation of a major school rule, generally unsatisfactory behavior, failure to meet the requirements for graduation or other misconduct the Head of School or his designee deems sufficiently serious to warrant dismissal. The Head of School’s decision with respect to dismissal shall be final.

In cases where a senior has been

dismissed, the school will send a letter to all colleges and universities to which the senior has applied and/ or gained acceptance. The letter will reflect the change in the student’s status. The student’s transcript will be appropriately marked.

Non-Continuation—Hebron Academy reviews the citizenship of all students in June and reserves the right to deny continuation to any student whose behavior, attitude or disciplinary record is judged by the faculty to be detrimental to the welfare of the school community, whether or not specific major school regulations have been violated.

DISCIPLINARY STATUS Disciplinary Warning indicates that the student’s behavior has become a regular concern.

Disciplinary Probation is the Academy’s response to the student who violates a major rule or whose behavior has continued to be of concern.

Probation is used when it seems that, with some restrictions and perhaps with some additional supervision, the student may be able to continue as a member of the community. It is a period of final trial during which the student is responsible for obeying all the school’s rules, meeting all school commitments and fulfilling any specific terms of the probation. The student is expected to demonstrate, by cooperative behavior and a positive attitude, that he/she truly wishes to remain a contributing part of the community.

62 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

Final Courses of Action

Should all other avenues be exhausted, the Head of School or Assistant Head of School for Student Life may select one of the following final courses of action: 1. Take immediate and final disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, when he or she, in their discretion, determines that such action is warranted, or 2. Convene a Disciplinary Committee composed of appropriate members of the student body, faculty and administration, which shall investigate the facts as it deems appropriate and make a recommendation to the Head of School.

This Committee will be chaired by the Assistant Head of School for Student Life. The Committee will be made up of the Dean of Students, Assistant Head for Student Life, the student’s floor faculty, the student’s advisor and two student proctors. A non-voting advocate, chosen by the student from the Hebron faculty, may also be invited to participate on the Committee.

The Head of School has final authority with regard to the disposition of all disciplinary matters.

A parent or guardian who disagrees with the Head of School’s decision may request that the Head of School reconsider his decision, but no further appeal shall be permitted.

ATTENDANCE POLICY Academics

Attendance at school classes and events is mandatory unless otherwise stated. Being present, both physically and mentally, is a key to success in all academic and co-curricular endeavors. In short, students are expected to meet their commitments. As academics have the highest priority, it is especially essential that students attend class.

Although the pace of school life can sometimes be intense, the school schedule allows for timely breaks and generous vacations. Family vacations and events should be arranged to coincide with the school schedule. Students should not miss class time because of these occasions (exceptions include the observance of religious holidays and family emergencies that occur when classes are in session).

The following policy addresses three major attendance issues: tardiness, unexcused absences, and excused absences. It is our expectation that students and parents will work together with the school to minimize time out of class.

Tardiness

Part of being a responsible and prepared student is to show up on time for each class. Students with a legitimate reason for being tardy to class must present the teacher with an “Excused Late” note. A legitimate excuse usually means the student was with a staff member and that staff member will write a note excusing the lateness. If the student

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 63

does not have a note, the teacher will report an unexcused late. Three unexcused tardies will equal an unexcused absence.

Unexcused Absences

Students are expected to attend all of their classes. If a student is not legitimately excused, his or her teachers are not expected to hold extra sessions or cover missed class material; students are responsible for making up missed work. Unexcused absences are a serious violation of Hebron Academy’s student expectations and will have academic and disciplinary consequences according to the following policy: For any unexcused class absence, the student will receive a zero on any assessments given during the class(es) missed. A teacher may allow the work to be made up if he or she regards it as critical for the student’s learning.

In such a case, the maximum grade allowed will be 55%. In addition, the student shall expect an immediate disciplinary response from the Dean of Students Office.

If a student’s attendance has been inappropriately recorded, students have 48 hours to meet with the Dean of Students to modify the classification of the absence.

Following this time, all absences will stand as noted. Attendance absences are cumulative for the year and attendance audits will be completed every Thursday at noon.

Accumulations of unexcused class absences fall into two categories:

same-class absences and total accumulation across a student’s program. These will be handled according to the following: Unexcused Absences

If the absence is classified as Unexcused, the following will occur: • 2nd Absence: the student will attend a mandatory Friday night study hall and will be campused for the weekend.

• 3rd Absence: The student will attend a mandatory Friday night study hall and will be campused for the weekend. A formal letter will also go home advising the parent of the violation.

• 4th Absence: The student will meet for an Attendance Disciplinary Committee. This committee will be comprised of the Academic Dean, Assistant Head for Student Life, the Dean of Students, and the student’s advisor. A formal letter will go home advising the parent of the violation and the resulting consequences. The student will also attend mandatory Friday night study hall and will be campused for the weekend.

Excused Absences

The Dean of Students will make the final determination of whether or not an absence is or shall be excused.

Parents of day students should report absences due to illness to the school’s receptionist by 9:00 a.m., while boarding students must report to the Health Center prior to their

64 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

first school obligation. If a student knows in advance that he or she will miss class, the student must get initial permission from the Dean of Students. Students seeking approval for an excused absence must: • obtain absence request form from the Dean of Students; • get permission from teachers by asking them to sign an absence request form (if not an illness, emergency, or school sponsored event); • turn in the absence request form to the Dean of Students for final permission before departure; • take responsibility for all work and class material missed; • complete missed assignments and assessments within the time period allowed by each teacher (teachers will communicate these due dates to advisors for follow-up with students).

Excessive Absences

Excessive absence, excused or unexcused, may result in a Disciplinary Committee hearing and/or loss of credit for the year as determined by the Academic Affairs Committee. The committee may also determine that it is inappropriate for the student to continue at Hebron.

Excessive absence is generally defined as 10% of the seat time for a class, or around 15 class meetings.

Leaving Campus

During the school day, day students are not permitted to leave

campus without the permission of the Dean of Students or the Assistant Head for Student Life.

Day students may leave school when their final commitment of the day is completed. (see also Driving Permission) Boarding students are never allowed to leave campus without the permission of the Administrator on Duty (AOD).

CELL PHONES Students are permitted to have and use cellular telephones and other electronic devices on campus.

THEY MAY NOT MAKE OR RECEIVE CELL PHONE CALLS OR TEXT MESSAGES IN ANY ACADEMIC BUILDINGS, THE CHAPEL OR THE DINING HALL, OR DURING ANY SCHOOL EVENT ON OR OFF CAMPUS.

Cellular telephones and other electronic devices should not cause interruption to any school function such as classes, afternoon activities, study hall, meetings or assemblies. The use of such items should be private, discreet and not cause distraction. Any improper use or failure to comply with the rules regarding cellular telephones will result in an immediate forfeiture of the device for a length of time to be determined by the Dean of Students or Assistant Head of School for Student Life, as well as whatever disciplinary response is deemed necessary and appropriate.

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 65

CLOSED WEEKENDS There are weekends during the year when boarding students will not be allowed to sign out. Closed weekends relate to special campus events, and proximity to exam days and vacations.

DRESS CODE The dress code at Hebron should project an image of neatness, modesty, and good taste. This dress code extends through the entire school day and includes breaks, meals and free periods. Any faculty member may judge a student’s attire as inappropriate, and the student will be required to change. If the student misses class time because of changing, he or she will be marked as an unexcused tardy or absent. Special exceptions to the dress code may be made for a variety of events during the year.

Regular Class Day

• Hats are permitted but must be respectfully removed when entering any building.

• No denim pants or shorts.

• No leggings, sweatpants, athletic wear, baggy shorts or pajama bottoms.

DRIVING PERMISSION

Boarding Students

Boarding students may not have cars on campus or in the local area.

If unique circumstances arise, a student may be granted permission from the Dean of Students or Assistant Head for Student Life. This privilege is applicable to students in good academic and community standing only. Specific guidelines and expectations will apply.

Day Students We recognize that some of our day students will provide their own transportation to and from school.

All day students will receive specific guidelines for appropriate car use.

Hebron allows day students the privilege of having cars on campus.

However, any violation of the following guidelines may result in revocation of this privilege, for a period of time determined by the Dean of Students or Assistant Head for Student Life.

1. Cars must be parked in the athletic center lot.

2. Once the cars are parked, they are not to be moved until the student decides to return home. Driving between the school buildings, the dormitories, the playing fields, the gym or into town for any reason is not permitted.

3. Under no circumstances are any students, boarding or day, allowed to be transported in any car unless specific arrangements have been made by the student’s parents and the Dean of Students or Assistant Head for Student Life.

4. Reckless and dangerous driving on campus will void the privilege of driving to school.

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 67

Once again, we remind you that driving is a privilege and this privilege may be revoked due to any violation of the rules.

HARASSMENT POLICY Hebron Academy is enriched by the diversity of its community members.

The school recognizes and respects individual differences in background which include but are not limited to culture, race, ethnic origin, religion and gender.

In order to provide an environment of mutual respect, tolerance and sensitivity, it is important that every member of the community recognize certain guidelines for appropriate behavior.

Inappropriate behavior, either verbal or physical, that disregards the selfesteem of others is unacceptable.

Such behavior includes unwelcomed physical advances, unwarranted verbal remarks, derogatory statements or discriminatory comments, and can occur between any two individuals or groups of individuals. This includes any electronic communication, whether on campus or off.

Listed are some examples of inappropriate behavior: • uninvited pressure for sexual activity whether explicit or implicit; • obscene or suggestive remarks or jokes, verbal abuse, insults; • display of explicit, offensive or demeaning materials; • hazing, threats; • comments which are demeaning with respect to race, religion,

ethnic origin or gender.

You should follow this procedure if you feel you have been harassed: 1. Let the offending person or people know you want the behavior to stop.

Say NO firmly! Look directly at the person with a straight face to give a clear message about how you feel.

Do not apologize.

2. Keep a record of when, where and how you have been mistreated.

Include witnesses, direct quotes, actions, evidence and any written communication.

3. If you do not feel comfortable confronting the person alone, take a friend along or write a letter.

4. Promptly contact someone at school about the situation: advisor, faculty member, administrator, supervisor or Health Center staff.

A response from the school to the situation may be made in consultation with the person making the complaint. One or both parties involved may be asked to leave campus until an investigation is completed or a conflict is resolved.

Each person at Hebron Academy has the right to participate fully in the life of the school without harassment.

HONESTY Complete integrity in all matters of school life is expected of both the student and the parents.

Truthfulness, even in the face of social pressure, is a value that the school is determined to maintain.

Academic honesty is fundamental.

Students are expected to

68 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

demonstrate integrity by never cheating, plagiarizing or misrepresenting themselves on tests, quizzes and assignments, including all work done on computers, as well as not infringing upon copyrighted materials. Students should never misrepresent themselves, their work or their own or others’ actions.

In cases of academic dishonesty, the faculty member will discuss the situation first with the student and the Department Chair. The Department Chair, in consultation with the faculty member, will decide the appropriate response.

That response may include turning the matter over to the Dean of Academics, Dean of Students, Assistant Head for Student Life and/or Head of School for further disciplinary action.

In cases of intentional academic dishonesty, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. That response may include, but is not limited to: a warning, probation, suspension or a Disciplinary Committee meeting to discuss the student’s continued presence at Hebron.

PLAGIARISM (see Academics, page 57) INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY Hebron Academy expects individuals in its community to be responsible users of technology and the internet.

Some of the material on the internet may be inaccurate, objectionable,

sexually explicit, criminal and unethical. Students must be vigilant in their choice of sites to consider opening, and efficient in their exit of inappropriate sites. Students shall not access material that is profane or obscene , that advocates or condones the commissions of unlawful acts or that advocates or condones violence or discrimination towards other people.

Viewing, printing, downloading or sending objectionable material and unethical or illegal online behavior will be cause for disciplinary action.

Please be aware that this includes any behavior, on campus or off, that has the potential to damage the school’s reputation or is contrary to its mission.

It is important to be aware of copyrights and avoid plagiarism.

Downloading computer software, music, movies or any other copyrighted material is illegal. It is your responsibility to determine if material is copyrighted. The fact that it is available for download does not make it legal to do so.

Communication on the internet reflects on the Academy. Use a tone that is appropriate in an educational setting. Do not use obscene, profane, lewd, vulgar, rude, threatening or inflammatory language. Do not make personal attacks or discriminatory statements or defame a person or organization.

Your personal safety and that of others are matters of concern to the school. There are organizations and

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 69

individuals on the internet who might take advantage of you personally or financially. Do not reveal personal information about yourself or others.

Respect other users’ work; do not destroy or alter anyone else’s data. Do not attempt to enter other computer systems and disrupt their functioning capacity or seek classified or private information from them.

School lab computers are an educational resource. Students working on a school project have precedence over those using the devices for personal interest.

Supervising faculty may set time limits on computer use if there are people waiting for a turn.

Participating in online games is not allowed on lab computers.

All hardware, software, all electronic mail, records, files, documents and other objects on Hebron’s computer system are the exclusive property of Hebron Academy.

All users should also be aware that by bringing a computer to school, they are consenting to inspection of that computer, regardless of whether that computer is used on the school network. Inspections and/or monitoring will be at the discretion of the Head of School or Assistant Head of School for Student Life.

INTERNET SAFETY POLICY Students shall not use the internet for dissemination or publication of any material which jeopardizes the good name of the school, which is detrimental to the common good, or which is harmful or offensive to members of the school community.

This includes the posting of inappropriate material on any blog, chat room or website. Such behavior may result in disciplinary action.

Users should understand that their electronic correspondence, including the propriety of language and content, will be treated as the legal equivalent of publicly spoken or written words.

70 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

The school provides education to students about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms and cyberbullying awareness and response. This and CIPA Policy is included in this discussion during our opening school orientation schedule. Technology measures are in place and are used for monitoring all internet access through Hebron’s computer systems.

TRANSPORTATION FOR BOARDING STUDENTS Travel by Bus

The Academy will provide transportation to and from Portland and Lewiston at vacation times for transportation connections. On weekends when a student leaves campus the school will only provide transportation when a driver is available; otherwise the student will have to arrange for a taxi to take them to the bus station or airport and back to campus. (See Travel Resources in the Resource Guide for a list of carriers.)

Students are not permitted to use UBER or Lyft at this time.

Travel by Plane

Students fly into the Portland Jetport (PWM). At the opening of school, students traveling alone can be met in Portland if arrangements have been made through the Boarding Transportation Coordinator.

Vacation Travel

It is the Academy’s expectation that students will depart for long weekends, winter break and spring break only after their last commitment on that day. Travel arrangements should not interfere with the class day. Missed classes will be considered unexcused.

The school will provide bus transportation at the beginning and end of vacations at the most common intervals to accommodate travel times.

•D epartures: to the Portland Jetport and Concord Trailways, on the day the vacation begins as well as an early departure the next morning.

•R eturning: students should arrive at the Portland Jetport or Concord Trailways.

Students will be charged for transportation to or from Lewiston/ Auburn and to and from Portland.

If a student’s needs do not coincide with the departure and arrival times provided, they will need to arrange for their own transportation to or from school via taxi. If Hebron must provide transportation outside of scheduled times, there will be an additional fee. To make special arrangements for transportation, please call or e-mail Boarding Transportation Coordinator well in advance (207-966-5277 or travel@ hebronacademy.org).

Specific transportation times and fees will be noted to students well in advance of vacation dates.

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 71

SPECIAL ABSENCES A student may be granted special permission to be away from school outside school vacations only if they have gone through the absence request process as described on page 63 under “Excused Absences.”

This request process must be completed before arranging any required transportation. Teachers are not required to meet with the student for extra help in cases of absence due to vacation time.

Tests and quizzes missed are to be made up at the convenience of the teacher. Students must be wholly responsible for their own work and not expect special consideration from their teachers to make up for topics or assignments missed for special absences.

The school encourages students to schedule medical appointments and college interviews during vacation time.

SPECIAL SENIOR/ POSTGRADUATE CLASS ABSENCE POLICY Seniors and postgraduates will be allotted a maximum of five (5) school days to be off campus to explore post-Hebron plans. These days may be used for college visits, revisit days, athletic tryouts, etc. They are not to be used to extend vacations, nor are students required to use them. For all such visits, students must complete the aforementioned planned absence request process.

Furthermore, the college counselors must confirm and approve any

college-related visits, and details pertaining to each visit must be provided. Our goal is for students to minimize missed class time to maintain good academic standing even while pursuing postHebron plans. Students who take advantage of this policy will incur excused absences up to the fiveday limit. After that, any absences will be unexcused. Students are not permitted to use the day before or after a scheduled break.

LONG WEEKENDS During the Fall Term there is one Long Weekend. During the Long Weekend, students have the opportunity to leave campus and to go home or to an approved host residence. If need be, students may also remain on campus in the dormitories for an additional fee. If leaving campus for these weekends, students are not permitted to stay in hotels without adult supervision, nor are they permitted to stay in college dormitories. Long Weekend date can be found on the calendar inside the front cover of this handbook.

AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES AND ATHLETICS Hebron Academy asks that its students expand their abilities by participation in afternoon activities and athletics in the fall, winter and spring seasons. Athletics is a key part of the Hebron Academy experience and one that

72 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

all students engage in at various levels. Each weekday afternoon students participate in team practices or games or take part in the Outdoor Program’s experiences.

All new students are required to be a member of an athletic team or participate in Outdoor Education in the first season of their enrollment. All students must participate in an athletic offering or Outdoor Education in two of the three seasons. For their third season, students may choose art, music, drama or yearbook in lieu of an athletic offering. All afternoon activities will include a Saturday commitment.

serve these purposes: 1. To teach and instruct students in the rules, fundamentals and skills of various individual and team sports, as well as to provide physical training.

2. To provide healthy competition and cooperation within and between schools, thus inculcating in each student the best principles of good sportsmanship.

3. To develop the other aspects of good sportsmanship which will best serve each student’s education.

4. To maintain the spirit of true amateur competition.

ATHLETIC CODE OF CONDUCT As a member of the New England Prep School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), the Academy endorses the Council’s Code of Ethics and Conduct. Athletes and parents are expected to carefully review these expectations and to adhere to them accordingly. As a basic principle, we believe that the lessons learned from fairly played athletics, whether interscholastic or not, and including games and practices, are of benefit to our students and our school.

The following standards are ones we expect all athletes, coaches and spectators to meet.

Proper Conduct and Good Sportsmanship

NEPSAC Expectations

Athletics exist primarily as an essential part of each student’s overall educational experience. As an educational process, athletics

1. Treat other people as you wish them to fairly treat you.

2. Regard the rules of your game as an agreement, the spirit or letter of which you should not evade or break.

3. Treat officials and opponents with respect.

4. Accept absolutely and without quarrel the final decision of any official.

5. Honor visiting teams and spectators as your own guests and treat them accordingly.

Likewise, behave as an honored guest when you visit another school.

6. Be gracious in victory and defeat.

Learn to take defeat well and with class.

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 73

7. Be as cooperative as you are competitive.

8. Remember that your actions on and off the field reflect on you, your family and your school.

Guidelines for Spectators

1. Spectators—whether students, faculty, parents, alumni or friends— bear important responsibilities to the school for the atmosphere and conduct of games, whether home or away.

2. Spectators should watch games from those areas defined by each school as spectator areas. They must not run up and down the sidelines, call to players, coaches or officials in an unsportsmanlike manner, go onto the field of play or deface property. Any action which detracts from the ability of coaches, players and officials to do their best is unacceptable and may cause the offending spectator to be excused from the athletic venue.

3. The use of alcohol and illegal drugs should not be associated with any athletic event.

Guidelines for Players

1. Players shall at all times represent themselves and their schools with honor, proper conduct and good sportsmanship. They shall understand that competitive rivalries are encouraged, but that disrespect for opponents is unsportsmanlike and lessens the values of the rivalries. They shall confine the competitiveness

of the game to the field, and in particular behave properly on the sidelines and in the locker rooms before and after games.

2. Players shall comply fully with the rulings of the officials. In no way, either by voice, action or gesture, shall they demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the decisions made.

3. Players will not deface property or remove equipment of any kind from their own or another school.

Expulsion Rule

A player who is ejected from an interscholastic game for “unsportsmanlike conduct” or other flagrant behavior will forfeit his/ her eligibility to play in the next regularly scheduled interscholastic or tournament game.

After considering the circumstances, Hebron may require a multiple game suspension

RESIDENTIAL LIFE DORMITORY PROCEDURES Check-In and Lights-Out

On Sunday through Thursday nights, 10:30 p.m. is the check-in time for boarders. At this time, all students are expected to be on their dormitory floors or in their rooms as the resident faculty on duty and the senior proctors do the nightly check-in. Lights out is at 11:00 p.m., at which time the overhead lights in the rooms should be turned off and the rooms should be silent.

On the weekends, check-in time is at 11:00 p.m., at which time students must check in with the resident faculty member on their floor and thereafter remain in the dormitory.

Unless granted specific permission by the Dean of Students or the dormitory supervisor, all boarding students are expected to remain in their dorms between 9:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m.

STUDY HOURS Quiet Dormitory Hours Daily between 8:15 a.m.-3:15 p.m.

Dormitory conditions should be conducive to study. Playing music so that it can be heard outside of your room is not appropriate during these hours.

Evening Study Hall Sunday through Thursday—7:30-9:30 p.m.

At 7:30 p.m., students should be

in their rooms or signed out with their floor faculty to Supervised Study Hall, study group, prearranged extra help with a teacher or other approved event (i.e., class commitment, rehearsals, meetings, etc.).

Between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., dorm rules are: • Dormitory room doors must be kept open.

• Minimum traffic on floors or between buildings.

• Quiet.

• No socializing.

• No TV or computer movie viewing except for class commitments.

• Computers are used for academic purposes only.

• Listening to music using iPods or similar headsets is permitted as long as it is not disruptive.

When Study Hall is over, students who have been studying elsewhere must check in with the person on duty in the dormitory.

Structured Study Hall (SSH)

Held Monday to Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the library.

Students are assigned to SSH by the Assistant Head of School for Student Life for a marking period based on their academic grades.

Students are expected to be at the library at 7:30 p.m. and study for

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 75

the two hours, after which time they return to the dormitory or, in the case of day students, leave campus for home. This is mandatory for those assigned to it.

At 9:30 p.m. when Study Hall is over, students must check in with the person on duty in the dormitory or on the floor.

LEAVING CAMPUS Boarding students may sign out for the weekend after their last commitment provided they follow the sign-out procedure. Students may not sign out on Monday through Thursday evenings.

Weekend permissions are granted in accordance with the wishes of the parents as noted on the Weekend Sign-out Form. School rules are in effect for a student signing out, as well as for the host family. Hebron Academy policy, as well as Maine State Law, regarding the availability of alcohol and other illegal substances must be upheld throughout the sign out time period.

Leaving the main campus any time—or the dormitory after checkin—without permission is a serious matter (the main campus does not include Marshall Pond or the fourmile loop).

The school needs to know where students are in case their presence is desired or an emergency occurs. Weekend and day signout procedures must be followed.

It is important for all students to understand that the Academy will treat any unauthorized absence from campus as a serious disciplinary

matter.

The guidelines for weekend signouts are: 1. The student completes the Weekend Sign-Out Form found at the Dean of Students’ office.

The weekend sign-out sheet provides information about how, when, where and with whom the student wishes to sign out. The student’s advisor and current coach must sign the sheet before the student turns it in to the dormitory supervisor for final review. The deadline for weekend permissions is Wednesday at 8:00 pm, preceding the weekend.

2. The Dean of Students or his/her designate will review the weekend request, check on appropriate telephone calls, if necessary, from parents or host, and determine if all obligations (athletic events, classes, detention, etc.) have been met before giving final approval.

3. The student returns Sunday night by 7:00 p.m. to prepare for the evening study hall at 7:30 p.m. If an emergency occurs or if you are going to be late, students must call the Administrator On Duty at 207-9665333.

4. The student is not to embarrass Hebron or his/her family with inappropriate behavior on the weekend.

5. A student on a weekend sign-out may return to campus for a social event, athletic contest, etc., only with the permission of the Administrator On Duty (AOD).

6. The Academy does not permit students to sign out to hotels or motels unless accompanied by the student’s parents.

76 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

7. If the student is involved in any

falsification of weekend plans or leaving campus without permission, the student may lose weekend privileges for a period of time to be determined by the Dean of Students, be placed on probation, be suspended or be called before the Disciplinary Committee to discuss the student’s continued presence at Hebron.

ROOMS Care

Students are responsible for the complete care of their rooms.

Regular room inspections are conducted by the dormitory faculty.

The Housekeeping Staff does not clean student rooms.

Shortly after arrival, students will fill out and sign a Dormitory Inspection Form with their dormitory supervisor. Students will be held accountable for the condition of their rooms. Each room will be inspected again in June. Student accounts will be billed for damage. There is a sizeable cleaning fee for rooms not left in reasonable condition.

Damage

Students are responsible for damage done in their rooms and will be charged for the damage.

In cases of damage to the corridors or common areas where responsibility cannot be placed, the cost of the repairs will be divided among all students on the floor or in the dormitory.

Schedule of Damage Repair Costs

Upon the initial check-in during the

fall trimester, or when a resident changes rooms, the resident shall make an assessment of the condition of the room and its furnishings. Any defects shall be noted at that time.

After the assessment is made, the student acknowledges that he/she is accountable for any damages beyond the current assessed condition of the room. The furniture assigned to each student is expected to remain in the room throughout the year. A resident may be charged a moving fee to relocate furniture that has been removed from the room. If a resident cannot account for the piece, or if it is damaged beyond repair due to negligence, then the resident will be charged for the replacement cost of the piece.

Décor

While we share a student’s desire to make a room more comfortable with amenities brought from home, we must ask that the following restrictions be honored: •H ebron provides single or bunk beds, desks, desk chairs, dressers and wastebaskets in most rooms.

Easy chairs, regular chairs, coffee tables and rugs (no bean bag chairs) in good condition are permitted. The dormitory supervisor reserves the final judgment on whether the furniture will remain in the room.

•B ecause of fire danger and the load on electrical circuits, no cooking appliances, halogen lamps, sun lamps, televisions, refrigerators or microwaves are allowed in the rooms.

•N othing may be hung from the

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 77

sprinkler pipes, light fixtures or the ceilings.

• Drapes, tapestries and other wall hangings must be placed against the walls.

• Obscene or offensive pictures or posters are not permitted.

Inappropriate images are subject to the discretion of the dormitory faculty.

• No furniture may be taken apart or removed from the room without permission of the floor faculty.

• Tape, nails or tacks are not to be used to hang posters or tapestries on the walls. A special adhesive or molding hooks may be purchased at the school store to be used to hang those items.

A student in good academic and community standing will be permitted to have certain luxuries in his or her room, such as video game consoles, computer monitors and DVD players.

Computer monitors are limited to 32 inches and may not be attached to cable or satellite TV cable, nor may they use other television reception devices. There are televisions in the dormitory common rooms that have satellite television programming.

The privilege of having these items is subject to the discretion of the dormitory supervisor. Eligibility is contingent upon satisfactory performance in one or more of the following areas: academic achievement, attendance, dorm room clean­liness, behavior and citizenship.

Should a student fall short in one of these areas, he or she will lose the privilege for a period of time

to be determined by the dormitory supervisor.

Inspections and Searches

Resident faculty will conduct regular inspections of the room to see that housekeeping is properly done, the contents of the room are adequately cared for and safety and health regulations are enforced.

Consideration of safety, common sense, and good taste are to be adhered to in all matters. This means no interference with fire prevention or detection apparatus and no hindrance of access to rooms.

The school is obligated to see that illegal or contraband materials, dangerous items or stolen articles are not kept in students’ rooms.

In recognition of the privacy and integrity of the student’s residence, rooms will be searched for illegal, dangerous or stolen items only when warranted. Students are responsible for their rooms and the contents at all times.

Keys

Boarding students are issued room keys at the beginning of the year.

Students who lose their keys during the year will be charged $20 for a replacement.

Roommates

Rooms are assigned prior to the opening of school, and after the dorm faculty has returned to the campus. A great deal of attention goes into the assigning of rooms and room changes will only be permitted in exceptional circumstances.

78 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

80 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

present Hebron Academy with: A copy of the original Immunization Certificate or Documentation of the disease (varicella) with physician’s signature or A copy of the School Immunization Record or A laboratory titer report as proof of immunity or A valid exemption from immunization with signature of parent/guardian.

GENERAL SAFETY CONCERNS No skateboarding, roller skating, or roller blading is permitted on State roads, the tennis courts or in any of the Academy buildings.

In the spirit of safety and in compliance with the Maine State Helmet Law, students are expected to wear a helmet anytime they are using a bicycle, a skateboard, a scooter or roller blades on campus. Helmets are also required for alpine skiing or snowboarding. Failure to do so may result in confiscation of the means of transportation.

Students are not permitted on any of the Academy building roofs.

No objects are to be thrown or dropped out of windows or down stairwells.

FIRE DRILLS Fire drills, held periodically, are important and necessary. All students and faculty will be expected to treat them with the utmost

seriousness. The school will receive fire drill orientation early in the fall trimester.

Any tampering with fire extinguishers, sprinklers, heat sensors, smoke detectors or any fire preventive equipment is a serious offense and will be referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.

FIREARMS, EXPLOSIVES, FIREWORKS, WEAPONS, LASER POINTERS The possession of firearms, knives, firecrackers, explosives, laser pointers or other harmful weapons is not permitted and will be referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.

SUBSTANCE USE POLICY Hebron’s position is that the use of alcohol, tobacco/nicotine products, including ecigarettes or vapes, or other illicit drugs (hereafter referred to as “substance use”) is detrimental to the health and well-being of the individual and incompatible with the purposes and objectives of the school.

We believe this for many reasons.

The first is that substances are detrimental to the developing adolescent mind and places a buffer between adolescents and the very feelings of uncertainty, boredom and self-doubt which they need to learn to deal with in healthy ways.

Secondly, the process of addiction takes place more rapidly among

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 81

CONCUSSION POLICY: A concussion is a brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body that may result in improper brain functioning. Students who display signs and symptoms will be removed from participation and assessed by a licensed medical professional.

Following evaluation by the licensed medical professional, decisions will be made whether the athlete is transported to the local hospital for emergency care or assessment by a family health practitioner.

Follow up care will be determined on an individual basis. Parents will be notified by the Health Center staff about the diagnosis and treatment.

CONCUSSION GUIDELINES FOR ALL STUDENTS: Any student diagnosed with a concussion is expected to follow these guidelines during their concussion recover process. Students must check with the Health Center before they do anything beyond what this list outlines.

• Rest for 24 hours after injury • No video games • No computer or tablet or phone usage • No texting • No loud entertainment • Boarding students must report to the Health Center the morning after injury, and rest there if it is a class day • Day students must stay home for at least 24 hours after injury • Students must report to the Health Center daily for assessment of symptoms

younger people. Finally, in the state of Maine, it is illegal for people under 21 to use alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs, such as marijuana.

The specific rules are set out elsewhere in this bulletin. These rules pertain to student behavior when on campus, while traveling to or from school, and in association with any school-sponsored activity.

The school hopes that parents and students will read and discuss these

• The student and the Health Center staff will determine the ability to attend classes • A physician will be seen for a full evaluation • Students must be symptom free before taking the ImPACT post-concussion test • Students must pass the ImPACT test and receive clearance from the Health Center, a physician and the Athletic Trainer before returning to sports.

• Students must also get clearance from their ACM that their academics are in order before returning to full activity.

and all the other rules before signing the Statement of Expectations.

Hebron hopes that parents will support our stand on substance use and will think carefully about their own attitudes toward alcohol and drug use by their children.

Procedures in alcohol and other drug-related incidents: 1. Hebron reserves the right to require any student to submit to a substance test, directed by the

82 • Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018

Health Center staff through the Administrator on Duty (AOD), at any time throughout the school year. The student’s family will be notified.

2. It is possible that a substance use violation will result in dismissal.

POLICY STATEMENT ON CONFIDENTIALITY, STUDENT PREGNANCY, BIRTH CONTROL AND SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES Maine State Law establishes a confidential relationship between a person and his or her health care provider, certain counselors and ordained clergy in the area of communications concerning pregnancy, birth control and sexually transmitted diseases. Even if the individual is a minor, the health care provider is prohibited by law from obtaining parental consent for treatment or disclosure of information without permission of the patient.

The health care providers, board certified counselors and social workers, and ordained clergy who are members of the Hebron Academy staff and employees of Hebron Academy will honor the law that minors receive safe and effective care within the limits of confidentiality imposed by the statute. Hebron Academy recognizes that these issues have potentially life-long effects and feel that mature

assistance, preferably from the family, should be provided for young persons faced with making decisions in these areas.

If a student requests assistance from the Health Center or counseling department, he or she will be given a copy of this policy and it will be reviewed with him/her. He/she will be strongly encouraged to make contact with his/her family. If the student elects to exercise his/her right to confidentiality, the qualified professionals are required to honor the student’s wishes without notifications of any other person, other than as may be required by law in the case of a report of communicable disease.

No Hebron Academy employees other than a physician, nurse, psychiatrist/psychologist, certified guidance counselor or certified social worker are bound by the confidentiality requirements in the law. Any other employees of Hebron Academy are not acting as agents of the Academy if they become involved in these issues and accept full liability for their actions.

Hebron Academy recognizes that student pregnancy is a medical and counseling issue. In the event of a student pregnancy, the Academy will treat each case individually, the student’s welfare being the paramount concern.

In accordance with Maine State Law, the above-stated qualified professionals at Hebron Academy who are employees of Hebron Academy may not notify the parents or legal guardians in the event of

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 83

a student pregnancy without the student’s consent. If a student suspects that she may be pregnant, she will be encouraged to come to the Health Center and inform one of the nurses or speak with the counselors.

This policy, including confidentiality, will be reviewed with her. An appointment will be made for her with a local office of the Family Planning Association of Maine. It is with this agency that the student will receive testing and appropriate professional counseling. Throughout this entire process, Hebron Academy will continue to encourage the student to inform her parents regarding this matter.

At no time will the Academy become involved financially nor will the Academy attempt to unduly influence the decision-making process of the student. The qualified professionals who serve on Hebron Academy’s staff will, however, support the Family Planning Association in their endeavors to provide a safe, caring and educational network for the student.

If the student decides to terminate the pregnancy and there are medical complications, the Academy will follow the usual procedures for medical emergencies regarding informing parents.

If the student decides to carry the baby to term and her condition becomes known to Hebron Academy employees not covered by the confidentiality requirement, notification will be given to the parent or guardian of that student.

The school will be supportive of the student in her educational program but will not provide child care. If the father is a Hebron student, he may likewise utilize the full range of counseling alternatives available to him from the qualified professional members of the school staff.

The qualified professional members of Hebron’s staff will preserve all confidences of those students seeking their advice within the requirements of the law. Pregnancy counseling will be made available to the student during all phases of her decision to maintain or terminate a pregnancy. Maine Law preserves her right to confidentiality and provides for certification of abortion counseling in lieu of parental consent to obtain an abortion.

It shall be the policy of this school that no qualified professional on its staff will supply a certification of abortion counseling to any student for the purpose of facilitating the compliance with the Maine statute permitting abortion without parental consent, as it is the stated policy preference of Hebron Academy that the student be encouraged to involve a parent or adult family member in the decision-making process.

If the student wishes to preserve confidentiality, she shall be referred to an outside agency for the purpose of obtaining the required counseling and certification.

The cornerstone of the relationship between Hebron Academy and its students is making qualified professionals available to the

students to assist them with the health, emotional and spiritual issues that may face them during their enrollment. The students’ right to confidentiality in their communications with these professionals is one of the keys to encouraging them to utilize these services.

A summary of the Parental Consent Law of Maine is available in the Student Health Center.

ASBESTOS Annual Notification of Building Occupants

Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR, Part 763 1. On 30 October 1987 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the Final Rule and Notice for Asbestos Containing Materials in Schools. It requires that all schools, public and private, undergo an extremely thorough inspection by accredited inspectors, submit a written Management Plan for control of those materials to the State of Maine by 12 October 1988, and commence implementation of the Plan by 9 July 1989.

2. Hebron Academy has complied with this requirement to the letter and spirit of the law. One of its many requirements is the notification of building occupants, employees and outside workers engaged by the school, that asbestos was found in various areas of our buildings. This section

fulfills that requirement.

3. This plan is available for inspection at the Business Office of the School Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Copies may be obtained by written request at a cost of 25 cents per page.

PEST CONTROL Because pesticides pose risks, the school uses an alternative approach to merely applying pesticides.

Control of insects, rodents and weeds at our school focuses on making the school buildings and grounds an unfavorable place for pests to live and breed. Through maintenance and cleaning, we will reduce or eliminate available food and water sources and hiding places for the pests. We will also routinely monitor the school area to detect pest problems and prevent the pests from becoming established.

Some techniques we will use include pest monitoring, sanitation, pest exclusion, proper food storage, pest removal and-as a last resortpesticides. This holistic approach is often called integrated pest management (IPM).

Pesticide Use

Sometimes pesticide use may be necessary to control a pest problem.

When that happens, the school will use products with the lowest risk available. If higher risk pesticides must be used, notices will be posted at application sites and parents, guardians and staff have a right to know.

Hebron Academy Policies for Student Life 2017–2018 • 85

Your Right to Know

Parents, legal guardians, and school staff will be notified on specific pesticide applications made at the school. Notification will be given at least five days before planned pesticide applications. Pesticide application notices will also be posted in school and on school grounds. Notification need not be given for pesticide applications recognized by law to pose little or no risk of exposure to children and staff.

The school also keeps records of prior pesticide applications and information about the pesticides used. You may review these records, a copy of the school’s integrated pest management policy and the Pesticides in Schools regulation (CMR 01-206 Chapter 27) by contacting our IPM coordinator, Tim Scammon, at 207-966-2100, ext.

256.
