CAMPUS MINISTRY Vision Statement: Rooted in the Catholic tradition, the example of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, Kennedy Catholic’s Campus Ministry invites every person in the Kennedy Catholic community (students, parents, staff, administration, and alumni) into an ever-growing, continually maturing relationship with Jesus Christ. We commit to this relationship through prayer, community, formation, and service. We seek to be a family that is continually formed and transformed through God’s love. This transformation becomes the basis for all decisions we make and leads us to be men and women for others. This work of faith is coordinated by the office of Campus Ministry but is truly the responsibility of all who participate in the life of Kennedy Catholic High School. Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati was named the Patron of Kennedy Catholic High School on February 28, 2018. Campus Programs/Activities include: Retreats, Liturgies, Service Immersion, ISLE Program, Prayer Opportunities, Student Ministries, Parish Connection, and Adoration.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Prayer To grow in our relationship with the Trinitarian God and deepen our love for God the Father, through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit. Grow in our personal prayer life through various prayer forms; through the Sacraments, Sacred Scriptures, Adoration and personal and communal experiences. Prayer develops our relationship with God as the foundation for all other aspects of our lives (activities, education, relationships, etc.). Community To live in a community with others through all the blessings and challenges. Grow in appreciation for the Body of Christ as the communion of faith. Celebrate one another’s gifts by growing in love and friendship. Sharing our faith with the greater community through outreach and service.

Faith formation will serve as a compass for decision-making in all areas of one’s life. Service Grow in their understanding and capacity of their God-given gifts for the service of others, the Church, and the world. Students will understand and continually discern their primary vocation and the career/jobs they are called to in response to the faith.

COUNSELING DEPARTMENT Information about Privacy: The Kennedy Catholic school counselors follow the counseling guidelines contained in the American School Counselor Association Code of Ethics. Information shared in a counseling setting will be kept confidential unless the student gives permission for the information to be shared or the counselor is required by state law or school policy to share the information. School policy, state law, and/or code of ethics requires counselors to release information: • If a student’s health or safety is at risk. • If someone else’s health or safety is at risk. • Abuse is suspected. • For court or other legal proceedings. In addition, some situations may require the counselor to consult with other professionals.
ACADEMICS OBJECTIVES
The program of studies at Kennedy Catholic is designed to provide every student a sound education background in English, Laboratory Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Theology. At the same time, the curriculum contains several elective options which allow for individual differences in talent, interest, and future goals. Behind the curriculum at Kennedy Catholic is the philosophical assumption that cognitive and affective goals are of equal importance. That is, we strive not only to develop the intellectual abilities of the student but also his/her attitudes and values. Furthermore, the Kennedy Catholic philosophy recognizes that knowledge of specific terminology, conventions, and ideas represents just one aspect of the student’s intellectual development. Learning how to learn is the most important aspect. To this end, Kennedy Catholic attempts to produce students who, as individuals and as cooperative members of a group, have confidence in their ability to learn, enjoy solving problems, develop the mental flexibility to view complex problems from multiple points of view, and have the ability to distinguish between statements of fact and other types of statements (e.g., opinion, theory).
DISCIPLINE OF ACADEMICS
Students are expected to work at their studies. Students are expected to study at least two hours at home each night. Students who miss class for illness or any other reason are required to make up missed work. It is solely the responsibility of the student to contact the Teacher via email. Students who are absent for an extended period should contact the Campus Life Office. Students are required to come to class prepared with paper, writing implements, text, and other required materials so that they may profit from, and contribute to, the classroom learning situation. Students should be in the classroom by the time the bell rings, signifying the beginning of class. Students are required to give their full attention to their class presentations and to refrain from doing outside work in the classroom.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Academic Progress: Grades that are recorded on the student’s official transcript and upon which the cumulative grade point average (GPA) is calculated are given at the end of the first and second semesters. First and third quarter grades are indications of performance and are not part of the permanent record. Teachers maintain an open grade book. Grades are posted on Skyward, four times per grading period, approximately every two weeks. All Kennedy Catholic students and their parents are responsible for keeping themselves informed and up to date on academic progress in each class. Student attendance, report cards, and schedules are also available online. Access codes to set up an account or forgotten passwords may be obtained by contacting Mrs. Patty Peterson at petersonp@kennedyhs.org. Academic progress clarification questions should be directed in the following order: 1. Classroom Teacher 2. Department Chair 3. School Counselor 4. Vice Principal 5. President/Principal
6
Academic Probation: Probation is a time of trial or warning during which a student must prove he/she has the ability and the determination to progress academically. Students will be put on probation if they: • Fail one or more courses in any one semester. • Fail to achieve credits required for class standing. • Work substantially below their apparent ability with no mitigating circumstances as determined by objective test scores. Students will be notified through a letter from the Principal and Vice Principal at the conclusion of each quarter/semester or in midterm where the situation warrants it. If on probation, it is recommended for students to attend Lancer Academy two days a week during probation periods. Loss of financial assistance may occur. Students and parents/guardians must make a follow-up appointment with a school counselor to assess the situation and plan a course of action designed to improve academic performance. At the end of the probation, students who do not show improvement may be asked to leave Kennedy Catholic. Probation ends when students achieve a semester grade point average of 2.0. All transfer students are admitted on probation. Academic probation may impact a student’s ability to participate in sports or extracurricular activities, performances, or events. Academic Eligibility for Activities and Athletics: As part of Kennedy Catholic’s goal to prioritize academics before committing to co-curricular activities, students who are participating in co-curricular activities/athletics will need to maintain passing grades in ALL classes as well as a GPA of 2.0 or greater. Those falling below standard at grade checks, will be deemed ineligible to compete or participate until they bring their grades up to or above standard. For Seniors: a failing grade during the 4th quarter of the senior year may impact prom participation. Academic Eligibility for Scholarships To retain eligibility for scholarships, students must: • Maintain a minimum 3.75 GPA. • Demonstrate a commitment to community service. • Participate in extracurricular activities, through school or community. • Show a propensity towards leadership. • Have no discipline record. • Not be failing any classes. Academic Credits: While enrolled at Kennedy Catholic, academic and elective courses required for graduation from our school must be taken at Kennedy Catholic for both the grade and credit to appear on the official school transcript. Non-Kennedy Catholic Courses: If a student wishes to enroll in a course from another institution, no high school credit will be granted by Kennedy Catholic for the course nor will it be listed on the student’s official transcript. If placement into the next higher-level course is requested after completing the off-campus course, the following requirements must be met: • Obtain approval by the Department Chair, Counselor, and Vice Principal in writing before enrolling in the class at another school. • Provide an official transcript from the outside institution to the Kennedy Catholic Registrar. • Obtain a minimum pre-requisite grade as stated in Kennedy Catholic’s course catalog. • Pass Kennedy Catholic’s Challenge Exam with necessary grade. • Pay administrative fee for Challenge Exam. NCAA Clearance for College Athletes: The NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse requires that all courses, grades, and credits appear on the Kennedy Catholic High School Transcript. Retrieval Credit for Deficiencies and/or Meeting Minimum College Entrance Requirements: Retrieval credits must be approved by the Department Chair, counselor, and Vice Principal in writing before enrolling in the class at another school if the student wishes to have the credits applied to the Kennedy Catholic High School diploma. Retrieval credits refer to courses previously failed with a grade of “F” or “NC,” or courses necessary to meet minimum college entrance requirements (as outlined in the current course catalog). Repeated Classes: If a student takes a class a second time for any appropriate reason, both grades will appear on the transcript and count in the GPA. The credit will count in the total required for graduation but will not be counted in the department distribution totals. 7
High School Credits: High school credits in mathematics and world languages earned prior to entry into 9th grade at Kennedy Catholic will be entered with a “CR” on the Kennedy Catholic transcript under the following conditions: • Students must pass the Kennedy Catholic final exam in the subject. • Student is placed by the Kennedy Catholic Department Chair in an advanced level class. Student Records, Transcripts, and Cumulative Records: All records are maintained in a confidential manner that will assure the rights and privacy of students and guardians/parents. These records are available only to Teachers, administrators, and educational staff involved with student progress. Transcripts will be maintained permanently. Cumulative records will be maintained for two years after graduation, or withdrawal from Kennedy Catholic High School. Academic Accommodations: Kennedy Catholic High School may provide reasonable accommodations to assist students with learning disability or health impairment if the disability substantially limits a student’s learning. It is the family’s responsibility to initiate a request for accommodations. Current documentation (within three years) of the medical or learning issue by a certified professional must be provided. Families requesting academic accommodations should contact the student’s counselor who will work with the student, family, and faculty to discuss appropriate and realistic accommodations to assist the student in the classroom. The final decision for implementing accommodations rests with the individual Teacher. Although some accommodations may be available, Kennedy Catholic High School does not have the resources to provide all the support that would be available to students through a public school. Throughout this process, students are encouraged to advocate for themselves. Students and families are also encouraged to develop appropriate skills to help compensate for identified learning difficulties. Students desiring accommodations on the PSAT need to be pre-approved by the College Board in the year prior to testing. A formal request for accommodations on standardized tests such as the PSAT, SAT, and ACT needs to be made through the testing agency. A request for accommodations requires additional forms to be completed. The process for requesting accommodations on the PSAT, SAT, or ACT is lengthy and should be initiated at least eight weeks in advance of the anticipated test date. Recent documentation as well as evidence of a significant learning impairment are necessary. Receiving accommodations at Kennedy Catholic High School does not guarantee accommodations on standardized tests. Contact the student’s school counselor to initiate this request for accommodations.
ATTENDANCE POLICY AND LOSS OF CREDIT
Students who are absent 10 or more days in any one class period are in jeopardy of losing credit for that course. When a student reaches five (5) absences in a given class, the Campus Life Office will notify parents to discuss potential ramifications. At eight (8) absences, the Campus Life Office will notify students and parents again of their student’s attendance record. Further measures, such as an attendance review panel, may apply, along with an attendance contract outlining expectations regarding attendance to remain a student at Kennedy Catholic, may be implemented. Students who have reached 10 absences will be in violation of Kennedy Catholic’s attendance policy and will need to petition for credit. The student may be asked to submit a written petition to the Vice Principal explaining the extraordinary circumstances causing the absences. In conjunction with the Campus Life Office, the Vice Principal will review the petition and a determination will be made regarding the student’s petition for credit, as well as status as a current student at Kennedy Catholic. Attendance petitions may only be accepted one semester per school year and may not be awarded for consecutive semesters. If a student exceeds 10 absences in two consecutive semesters, they may be asked to withdraw from Kennedy Catholic High School. Absences accumulated after an evaluated petition may result in withdrawal from certain classes or from Kennedy Catholic. If a student is allowed to continue pursuit of credit in such cases, appropriate additional attendance protocols, as well as academic and/or disciplinary consequences may apply, as determined by the Administrative Team.
REGISTRATION, CLASS LOAD CHANGES
Load: All students are required to take a minimum of seven classes. Maximum load is eight classes. Course Selection Process: Course selection forms are distributed with registration materials in late January and should be returned by mid-February. Course verification forms are distributed to the students in early April. Student-Initiated Course Changes: It is Kennedy Catholic’s policy that the student-initiated course changes may be made until May 1. Since course scheduling and hiring of Teachers is based on the selections made in the spring, after May 1, only Teacherinitiated changes will be allowed. The time frame to process incomplete second semester schedules is from January 7-January 14. Schedules: Schedules will be mailed to students after August 15. While every effort is made to accommodate student requests, the master schedule may necessitate alternate choices. Equity: The above stated policy shall be the ordinary practice. The Vice Principal or President/Principal may make exceptions for the personal good of an individual or for the common good of the school. 8

ACADEMIC HONOR CODE:
Since personal integrity and the establishment of a loving and trusting community are essential goals in any Catholic education, the Kennedy Catholic High School community will hold its members to high standards of academic integrity. We expect students to hold themselves and each other to these high standards and to accept the consequences of failing in this area. Major or repeated violations may lead to expulsion because integrity is so essential in a Catholic education. Violations of the Honor Code include, but not limited to: • Cheating on homework, project, or test • Using others work as your own • Copying and pasting from internet sources • Buying/selling essays or papers from students Violation of the Academic Honor Code is a Level 2 Consequence. Progressive consequences include: • Work Crew (parent/guardian contact) • Suspension (parent/guardian meeting) • Long term suspension and probation • Expulsion There are many resources available to students to avoid violating the Academic Honor Code. Please speak with your teacher if you have any questions.

Truancy is missing two or more classes in the same day without excuse and results in one Disciplinary Work Crew.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
All absences from school are unexcused unless the parent/guardian calls in on the day of the absence and/or supplies a note upon the student’s return. A student who is absent due to illness for three (3) or more consecutive days needs a doctor’s note. School activities (drama, athletics, retreats, etc.) and field trips are not counted as an absence, but missing class may influence a student’s grade. All work missed may be made up, as per Teacher timeline. Students will not be penalized for work missed while participating in school activities. Family vacations should coincide with school holidays. Please consult the school calendar before making any/all medical appointments.
ATTENDANCE POLICY AND LOSS OF CREDIT (SEE ACADEMICS PG. 6) REGULATIONS
Attendance at school assemblies and Masses is mandatory. Absences from assemblies and Masses will be treated as absences from class. Students who participate in any extracurricular activities are required to be in full attendance during the day of any activity/ contest. Any absences from class (even if an excused absence) will prevent participation unless previously cleared by the Director of Athletics or activity supervisor. Students who participate in any extracurricular activities on school nights are expected to be in school for first period the following day. Chronic violation may result in loss of eligibility. Kennedy Catholic maintains accurate attendance records to comply with Washington State Law.
PROCEDURES
Excuse an Absence: Parent/guardian must contact the Campus Life Office at 206.246.3787 or attend@kennedyhs.org before 9am, the day of the absence. When contacting the Campus Life Office, please provide your student’s name, year in school, and reason for absence. Students who are absent without a phone call or email will be considered truant. Early Dismissal: Granted when authorized by a phone call or email from a parent/guardian on or before the day of the early dismissal. The student will pick up a special early dismissal pass before class, to show the Teacher when they leave. Injuries: All injuries affecting attendance or participation in class must be reported immediately to the Campus Life Office. If an injury happens during the school day or in a school-sponsored sport or activity, the supervising staff member is responsible for communicating directly to the parent as well as the Campus Life Office. If an injury is responsible for missed class time or prevents full participation in class (i.e., a concussion), the student and/or parents must provide the school with a note from a physician or the school’s Athletic Trainer if special accommodations are required. The Campus Life Office will then notify student’s counselors who will then communicate with Teachers in order to monitor student safety and provide necessary accommodations. Pre-Arranged Absences: For all pre-arranged (full day) absences a Pre-Arranged Absence form must be completed, signed and submitted to the Campus Life Office prior to the absence. Parent Contact: Should a student need to leave school early parents must be contacted. Students leaving without prior permission will be considered skipping or truant depending on the number of periods missed.

COMMUNICATION AND TECHNOLOGY POLICIES As an organization with a commitment to excellence in education and the safety of our students, as well as the preservation of our outstanding reputation as a school, the standards for appropriate online communication at Kennedy Catholic High School are high. While we respect the right of students, employees, alumni, and other members of our community to utilize the variety of private social media options available, faculty and students are expected to follow the same behavioral standards online as mandated by current school and Archdiocesan policies. Guidelines for Communicating with Students via Technology: Kennedy Catholic faculty, staff, coaches, and volunteers follow the Archdiocesan policies on communicating with minors. In addition, the following rules apply: Email: When emailing a student or group of students, staff must copy this email address: copy@kennedyhs.org, which is periodically reviewed by school administration. Student Email Code of Conduct: See website for the Use of Microsoft 365 Code of Conduct in its entirety: https://www. kennedyhs.org/academics/technology/support. Texting: When texting a student or group of students, staff must copy a generic account: copy@kennedyhs.org which is periodically reviewed by school administration. Social Media: Kennedy Catholic High School supports the use of social media in communicating, engaging, connecting, and sharing information with the Lancer community. Social media is designed to communicate online through social interaction using highly accessible public publishing forums such as, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, blogs, message boards, and other social platforms. Any social media account considered a public account representing the interests of Kennedy Catholic High School is the property of Kennedy Catholic High School. Permission to start such a site must be obtained from the Marketing & Communications Office. Staff are prohibited from “friending” a student, accepting a “friend request” from a student, or “following” a student on a personal social media page. See website for the Social Media Policy in its entirety: www.kennedyhs.org/parents. Microsoft Office365 is for educational purposes only. This agreement states users will not use Microsoft Office365 for personal emails and personal social networking. In turn, they will not use personal email for school related communication. This agreement states that users will be polite and respectful of other students. Users will also respect students’ privacy and security when using Microsoft Office 365. Kennedy Catholic High School requires computer use and provides computer network services to its on-campus community (administration, faculty, staff, students, and volunteers) to support the school’s mission. Computer network services are individual network accounts, which provide email, local area network, and internet access. Kennedy Catholic, in accordance with the goals and criteria of the Seattle Archdiocese Catholic Schools Department, believes that these tools and services, when used in “an atmosphere of wise freedom,” significantly enrich and transform teaching and learning experiences at Kennedy Catholic, and further “deepen respect for intellectual values.” Websites: Websites run by faculty/staff for school purposes are reviewed frequently by the President/Principal and Administration. Code of Conduct: All posts and comments should be marked by Christian charity and respect for the truth. They should be on topic and presume the good will of other posters. Discussion should take place primarily from a faith perspective. (From Social Media – Principles, Policies and Guidelines for Parishes, Schools and Programs of the Archdiocese of Seattle) Computers: See the website for the Acceptable Use of Computer and Network Services Policy, Code of Conduct and User Agreement in its entirety: kennedyhs.org/academics/technology/support. Kennedy Catholic’s Acceptable Use Policy is in accordance with the Archdiocese of Seattle Office of Catholic Schools and FCC CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act enacted by Congress in 2008). Kennedy Catholic recognizes that access to these diverse electronic tools and resources comes with occasional risks that are inconsistent with the values and educational goals of the Seattle Archdiocese Catholic Schools Department. In order to promote and protect these values and goals, Kennedy Catholic actively limits access to network services, resources, and uses that are inappropriate for the school’s educational purposes. These limits will be applied and monitored across the Kennedy Catholic on-campus community as the school deems appropriate and necessary. These include, but are not restricted to, network level software/hardware filtering, network, monitoring, and classroom observation. Integral to the Kennedy Catholic curriculum is the responsible use of these electronic resources by all members of the community. Since computer use is required and network services are provided by the school for its educational mission, Kennedy Catholic will take swift and appropriate disciplinary actions for any violations of the school’s Code of Conduct.

DISCIPLINE School Policy: Students must be knowledgeable of school rules and emergency procedures if they are to benefit from a sound and safe educational environment. In all cases the stability, safety, and security of the learning environment are of primary importance. Academic Dishonesty: See Academics Pg. 6 Birthday Celebrations: Birthday celebrations for students are limited to lunch time in the cafeteria. Singing telegrams, and balloon bouquets are to be held outside of school time. Birthday celebrations involving hitting of a student by other students are strictly prohibited. Such displays are disruptive and risk injury to participants. Closed Campus Policy: Students must remain in the school building or courtyard from the time they arrive until they are officially excused. This means from the time parents, carpools, or buses drop students off at the start of the day. No one other than students in community service class are to be in the parking lot or in a car during school hours. Other than community service students, at no time during the school day are students to leave campus without permission from the Campus Life Office. Note: special circumstances may apply. Off Limits: Off limits areas are the parking lot, gym/loft area and locker rooms, the faculty areas, the shop, kitchen, maintenance areas, stage, balconies, weight room, Little Theatre, and boiler room. Permission must be granted by Campus Life to be in these areas without supervision. Right To Search: The school reserves the right to search lockers, students and cars for contraband at any time, to include school sponsored events. Cumulative Violations: Cumulative violations of the various school policies is a serious matter. Multiple minor violations can disrupt the educational process as much as a major transgression. Therefore, the seriousness of a violation is not sole criterion for disciplinary action. The frequency of disruption must also be considered an important factor. Progressive discipline applies. Discrimination: Kennedy Catholic High School embraces diversity and values the integrity of every individual student. Individual differences of culture, race, color, national origin, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender expression, sexual orientation, physical appearance, and differently-abled are acknowledged and respected. Every member of the community strives to behave in a sensitive, open and respectful manner. *Discrimination falls under Intimidation or Harassment. See pg. 14 of the Student Handbook. Disruption of the Educational Process: Any disruption of the educational process is prohibited and may result in disciplinary action, including suspension and/or expulsion, in keeping with the offense. Electronic Devices: Electronic devices, including mobile phones, laptops, tablets or other one-to-one devices, are not to be used or displayed in the classrooms while school is in session unless the student has Teacher permission. Such devices used or displayed improperly may result in disciplinary action to include, but not limited to, confiscation and a required parent contact to retrieve the device, detention or other applicable progressive disciplinary action. The school administration reserves the right to search all electronic devices, as a result of reasonable suspicion of a violation. Electronic devices may be used outside the classroom with etiquette and courtesy to others. This allows Teachers to ask students not to text while walking in the hallways and to show consideration for others. See Acceptable Use Policy on our website Extraordinary Parent Conduct: Parent support of policies and procedures and cooperation with the school is essential for successful student formation. If, in the opinion of the administration, parent behavior seriously interferes with the teaching and learning processes or the school's ability to promote values consistent with the school's mission, the school may require parents to withdraw their student and sever the relationship with the school. Similarly, the school may require parents to withdraw a student whose words or deeds evidence a failure to embrace and support the school's mission Extraordinary Student Conduct: Usually, the school does not involve itself in student conduct apart from the school or school events; however, there may be an occasion when student conduct, even if separate from, or outside of, school, is of such nature as to reflect negatively on the school and/or disrupt the school environment. This may result in disciplinary action and/ or call into question the student’s continuance as a member of the Kennedy Catholic community. This applies especially to participation in internet social media networks, to include but not limited to the following: Facebook, snapchat, twitter, etc., when language and behavior leads to or risks conflict or disrespect in the school, or otherwise threatens school safety and security. Food Delivery: Food delivery of any kind, up to and including Uber Eats, Door Dash, Grub Hub, Post Mates, Pizza Delivery, etc. is not allowed on campus, during the school day, and/or without prior approval. Fighting/Assault: No form of fighting or assault is tolerated. This major infraction will result in disciplinary action up to expulsion, depending on the severity of the offense. Other disciplinary actions/requirements may include, but not be limited to, suspension, probation, counseling, disciplinary work crew, and/or restorative justice. Not making peace when a problem is evident is part of the problem and allows things to escalate. If a student has not exercised every option to make peace by asking for adult help from a Teacher, counselor, parent, or administrator, and a fight occurs, he or she will be in full violation of this section and receive the same consequence as the person who threw the first punch. Finally, students who invite visitors on campus for protection are subject to expulsion.
13
Food and Drink in the Building: Kennedy Catholic High School students, faculty, staff, and parents take great pride in the appearance of our school. Therefore, the following rules apply regarding food and drink in our school: • All liquids must have a sealed top. • Students may eat outdoors in the courtyards provided they do not disrupt classes in session and place all litter in appropriate garbage and recycling cans when finished. • Students may eat in a supervised classroom. • Students are expected to pick up their own trash following lunch and to leave their lunch table/area clean. Be proud of our school and place trash in the proper receptacles. Freedom of Expression: Freedom of student expression is vital to the educational process at Kennedy Catholic and the establishment of an inclusive climate/culture; however, the right of free speech may not be used to disrupt the educational process or interfere with the rights of others. *See also Intimidation or Harassment, Including Sexual Harassment, and Bullying section. Student meetings on school property are allowed only under the sponsorship of approved student body organizations as listed in the Handbook or otherwise authorized by the President/Principal or President/Principal’s designee. Only material written by students attending Kennedy Catholic and authorized by the President/Principal or President/Principal’s designee may be distributed on school property as well as all displays and student-distributed material. Approval of written materials will be based on the following criteria: • The material is responsible and in good taste. • The material is free from character assassination and obscenity. • The material shows the signature of the author. • No unauthorized commercial solicitation will be allowed on school property, and unauthorized materials will be confiscated. Approval will be through the Activities Coordinator. • Profane or obscene language and/or actions will not be tolerated. Neither will misuse of the Lord’s name or any abuse of free speech that degrades Kennedy Catholic and its principles. Harassment: Any harassment, threat, or damage to school personnel, their property, or family will result in expulsion and referral to the proper authorities. Insubordination: Lack of compliance with adult request/s will be considered insubordination and result in disciplinary action, in keeping with the offense. Intimidation or Harassment, Including Sexual Harassment, and Bullying: Intimidation or harassment, including sexual harassment, and bullying, as per RCW and Archdiocese of Seattle policy is prohibited and will result in disciplinary action, up to expulsion. This is a major infraction and may also include probation, counseling, disciplinary work crew, and/or restorative justice, as determined by administration. Such harassment includes, but is not limited to: threatening comments (either written, in person or through use of technology), any verbal, or physical act, including but not limited to one shown to be motivated by race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, or other distinguishing characteristics, and gestures or touching that create a hostile or threatening environment for the victim. Sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexual advance, comment, or touching. Students are expected to exercise every option to seek relief from such harassment or intimidation by asking for adult help from a Teacher, counselor, parent, or administrator at once. Waiting is part of the problem and allows things to escalate. Any threat by a student to inflict harm to self or others will be taken seriously and addressed promptly. Threats should be reported immediately to the President/Principal or President/Principal's designee, who will decide if police support or notification is needed and will notify the police when necessary. If a student is threatened, becoming a potential victim to that threat, the President/Principal or President/Principal's designee shall notify the student’s parent/guardian promptly. Retaliation is prohibited and will result in appropriate discipline. It is a violation of this policy to threaten or harm someone for reporting harassment, intimidation, or bullying. It is also a violation of policy to knowingly report false allegations of harassment, intimidation, and bullying. Individuals will not be disciplined for making a report in good faith. However, persons found to knowingly report or corroborate false allegations will be subject to appropriate discipline. Lockers: Lockers are provided and are the responsibility of each student. Students should not leave valuables unattended at any time. Students are also prohibited from giving out their locker combinations to others and should realize that doing so invites theft. Students are expected to report defective lockers to the Campus Life Office. Personal padlocks may be placed on lockers for added security but may be removed at the school’s discretion by whatever means necessary. In keeping with RCW 28A.600.230, the school reserves the right to search lockers. Parking Lot: Reckless driving will result in a fine. All students who drive to school must register for, and display, a parking pass. These passes will be available on back-to-school day, granted students have a valid driver’s license and can provide the make, model, year, and color of the vehicle, as well as the license number. Students parking without a pass and/or illegally may be subject to fines, parking wheel-lock boot and/or towing. Disciplinary action may also be assigned to the student. Student drivers using the parking lot must accept responsibility for keeping the lots clean. For safety purposes, travel is restricted to FIVE mph in the school lot and exiting the north or south gates. 14
Possession and Use of Intoxicants and/or Drug Paraphernalia: Kennedy Catholic has a “zero-tolerance” policy concerning use, attempted use, and/or possession of intoxicants, hallucinogens, and/or controlled substances and any paraphernalia, including, but not limited to: Juuls, vaping oils, tobacco, alcohol, other drugs and inhalants. This means that the penalty for possessing paraphernalia is the same as that for possessing or using alcohol or other substances. Any student who possesses, uses, or is under the influence of such intoxicants, or possesses such paraphernalia, is subject to disciplinary action and may include, but not be limited to: suspension/expulsion This is a major infraction which may also result in additional disciplinary action/requirements, such as: probation, disciplinary work crew, community service hours, and/or restorative justice. If suspended, the student will undergo a professional drug/alcohol assessment, prior to returning to school, and successfully complete and drug/alcohol treatment or counseling indicated by that assessment in order to remain in school. If the student is found non-compliant, said student’s suspension or expulsion may be reinstated. A referral for counseling and restriction from participation in athletics/activities for a time to be determined also apply. Any student caught selling, attempting to sell, or distributing alcohol or any other drug will be expelled, and proper authorities notified. Athletes and the Legend Drugs and Controlled Substances Rule – Penalties for the possession, use, or sale of legend drugs (drugs obtained through prescription, RCW 69.41.020-050) and controlled substances (RCW 69.50) shall be as follows: • 1st Violation – the student shall be immediately ineligible for interscholastic competition in the current interscholastic sports program for the remainder of the season. Ineligibility shall continue until the next sports season in which the student wishes to participate unless the student accesses the assistance program outlined in B (below.) An athlete who is found to be in violation of the Legend Drugs and Controlled Substances Rule shall have two options: ○ A. The athlete will be ineligible for participation in contests for the remainder of that interscholastic sports season and must meet the school’s requirements in order to be eligible to compete in the next interscholastic sports season. The school principal will have the final authority regarding the student’s participation in further interscholastic sports programs. ○ B. The athlete may choose to seek and receive help for a problem with use of legend drugs or controlled substances. Successful utilization of school and or community assistance programs may allow him/her to have eligibility re-instated in that athletic season, pending recommendation by the school. • 2nd Violation - A student who again violates any provision of RCW 69.41.020 through 69.41.050 or of RCW 69.50 shall be ineligible for interscholastic competition for a period of one (1) calendar year from the date of the second violation. • 3rd Violation - A student who violates for a third time RCW 69.41.020 - 69.41.050 or RCW 69.50 shall be permanently ineligible for interscholastic competition. Matches, cigarette lighters, and laser pointers are not allowed at school or school events. School Keys, Teachers’ Grade Books, and Computer Files: Unauthorized possession of any school keys or Teachers’ possessions will result in automatic expulsion without recourse. This also applies to using a Teacher’s identity on the internet. Stealing or Possession of Stolen Property: This is a major infraction and subject to disciplinary action, to include, but not limited to: suspension or expulsion, probation, disciplinary work crew, community service, and/ or restorative justice. To open or reach into a locker without permission is a violation of this item. (Restitution also applies) Property taken without permission must be replaced, at the offending student’s expense. PDA: Public displays of affection are inappropriate in an educational setting. Vandalism: Damage to, or destruction of, public or private property will cause violators to be subject to disciplinary action, to include, but not be limited to suspension or expulsion, probation, disciplinary work crew, community service, and/or restorative justice, a minimum $75 fine, and making full monetary restitution. Anyone in possession of items, which, in the judgment of the school, could be used for vandalism (e.g., spray paint cans, markers) also risks these consequences. Visitors: School-age visitors are not allowed in the building during the school day unless arranged through the Admissions Office. Only prospective students or prospective transfer students may visit. Visitors must sign in at the Main Office. Visiting applicants must supply the name and phone number of their current school to the Campus Life Officer, adhere to Kennedy Catholic’s dress code, have permission requested by their parent/guardian, and supply parent/guardian contact phone numbers. After all these requirements are met, applicants should call the Admissions Office to schedule visitors.

15
DRESS AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Philosophy: In accordance with our school mission statement, we expect students to make sound decisions in a healthy academic environment and to promote clean, modest, respectful and professional dress and appearance. Guidelines: Clothing is to be free of holes and tears. Clothing may not refer to alcohol, alcohol-related establishments, tobacco, drugs, anti-religious messages, sexual innuendo, politically divisive or violent images. In all dress code violations, the Campus Life Office will determine whether student attire adheres to Kennedy Catholic’s dress code policy. Dress code rules apply during school hours, on campus, on any school day, and/or school sponsored events. Accessories: Head coverings are permitted, although individual classroom rules apply, while in class, at the Teacher’s discretion. Exception: religious head coverings are permitted and not subject to discipline and/or Teacher discretion. Note: for safety reasons, students must ensure their face is not fully obscured, allowing faculty and staff the ability to identify them. Shirts and Tops: Sleeveless dresses, tops, and tank tops must have at least a two finger width on the straps. Tube skirts, tube tops, crop tops, spaghetti straps, and halter tops are prohibited. Clothing should fully cover undergarments and midsection. Pants, Shorts, Dresses, Skirts: These clothing items should not fall below the natural waist, be in good repair, and free of holes or tears.

NOTE: Administration and ASB will collaborate on provision of periodic free dress days.
KENNEDY CATHOLIC GUIDELINES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT BEHAVIOR
Note: Restorative Justice may apply at any level of the disciplinary process. The Responsible Choice and Restorative Discipline Model – This model focuses on choice and developing responsibility, with the ultimate goal of restoring relationships and trust, while ensuring ownership and positive integration within school community. Shared principles, values and expectations are stressed, rather than rules. A wide range of consequences, many with student or parent input, are considered in the process of addressing inappropriate student choice/behavior. Many factors are taken into consideration throughout the process of determining appropriate consequences/action plans. Some examples include, but are not limited to: • Student and parent response and level of engagement – parents are engaged/communicated with throughout the process, often multiple times • Student level of ownership • Level of impact/harm to self and/or others • Number of prior offenses • Level of offense/s Process: Consequences are implemented consistently, equitably, and in the best interest of the student/s, as well as school community. If a violation is brought to the attention of Administration, it has typically gone beyond classroom- level disciplinary practice. These violations of the student code of conduct are typically brought to the attention of Administrators by a third party: one or more students, Teachers, parents or other community members. When Administration is alerted to a violation, an investigation takes place, which may include, but not be limited to: • Interviewing and/or taking statements from the referring party • Interviewing and/or taking statements from the student/s who committed the violation • Interviewing and taking statements from witnesses to the violation • Gathering any additional input/evidence, pertinent to the investigation Once the investigation has been completed, a final disciplinary determination is made in keeping with the situation, context, and individual needs of students, as well as the needs of the school community. Consequences/action plans, may include, but not be limited to: • Educational conversation, student self-reflection (written or verbal) • Mediation • Referral to their School Counselor for further conversation and support • Referral to a mentor Teacher for further support • Community service • Restorative circle or other restorative practices Note: There may also be justification for some level of exclusion from school (in or out of school suspension, emergency or permanent expulsion), depending on the level of violation. Examples of levels of violations are as follows (Note: behaviors may cross levels, depending on context): 16
Minor Violations are those typically handled within the classroom, by the Teacher, or requiring minimal administrative intervention/support: • Classroom disruption – Student distracting others in class (excessive talking) – teacher responds with verbal warning. If the behavior continues, the teacher may request the student step into the hallway for a conversation. • Cell phone violation – Student violates a teacher’s cell phone policy – teacher responds with a verbal warning. If the behavior continues, the teacher may take the phone from the student for the remainder of the class period (all in keeping with the teacher’s individual classroom discipline plan). • Dress Code – A conversation with a Teacher, Counselor or Administrator may be an initial intervention. Intermediate Violations are those typically requiring administrative intervention/support, but not rising to the level of safety concern or harm to self/others. • Cell phone violation – Student violates a teacher’s cell phone policy – teacher responds with a verbal warning. If the behavior continues, the teacher may request to remove the phone from the student for the remainder of the class. The student refuses the reasonable teacher request and continues to use the cell phone. This now becomes noncompliance and requires intervention from an Administrator. • Classroom disruption violations could move beyond the minor infraction level should the student have multiple incidents. At that point, it becomes an issue of cumulative violations and further intervention is required. • Dress code – Should the student not respond to low level intervention, this may become a cumulative violation issue, and further intervention and consequences may be necessary. • Social media violation – A student posts a hurtful comment about another student. This is an issue that Administration would address to determine if it is an acute or chronic (pattern over time - harassment) issue. Consequences/action plans would depend on the outcome of the investigation. However, this is an example of a violation that could cross into the major violation category, depending on findings. *Major Violations are those requiring immediate intervention on the part of an Administrator, typically involving an impact on individual and/or school safety/security. Any of the below may result in some form of school exclusion, as an investigation is completed and efforts to restore the student to the school community are developed and implemented, as appropriate. • Social media violation, determined to be chronic and harassing/bullying in nature, may be considered extraordinary student conduct / harassment, bullying • Use of drugs/alcohol on campus or a school sponsored event • Physical violence • Theft There may also be occasion for a permanent exclusion from school. Examples may be: • Selling/distributing drugs or alcohol to other students • Bringing a weapon to school *NOTE: A Discipline Appeal Process may apply in cases involving student exclusion from school (suspension/expulsion). See Appeals under Discipline Definitions
SUSPENSION, EXPULSION AND DUE PROCESS
School Policy: Students who violate school rules or the rights of other students and faculty members are liable to receive suspension or expulsion in accordance with due process. Release of Student Disciplinary Information to Colleges: Upon direct request from the colleges for information pertaining to a student’s discipline record, the student must honestly and fully disclose if he or she has been subject to a disciplinary response including, but not limited to, probation, suspension, dismissal, or withdrawal from the school. The student should work closely with the school counselor to ensure that both are responding in a consistent and thoughtful manner. If a student’s disciplinary status changes after the filing of college applications, the student has the opportunity and obligation to inform all schools to which an application has previously been submitted or the school at which the student has submitted an enrollment deposit. The student should notify the college or colleges within two weeks from the date of the change in status. Two weeks after the change in status, the student’s school counselor will notify the colleges in writing that the student’s status has changed and the reason for the change. The college admission officer will be directed to the student and the family for further information. Students are also required, when directly requested, to disclose disciplinary responses for violations of the Honor Code. This policy follows the National Association for College Admission Counseling’s Statement of Principles of Good Practice.

In-School Suspension: A student may be "suspended" in school (removed from classes but remain on campus for the school day). Probation: Students readmitted after suspension will be on probation for a period determined by the Administrator or designee. Specific requirements for each probation may vary. Students who violate the terms of their probations may be expelled. Students on probation are not eligible for positions of honor at school, including, but not limited to, Homecoming and Prom courts, for the remainder of the school year and/or probation period. Due Process: In certain disciplinary and/or academic cases, expelled students will have the opportunity to explain their conduct before a Board of Appeal. • The Board of Appeal will consist of five voting members. The President/Principal or President/Principal's designee will appoint a chair and three other staff, one of whom will be a member of either the Counseling Department or the Campus Ministry Team. The student will choose the fifth member. • The Campus Life Administrator is not a voting member of the Board but presents a written summary of facts and answers clarifying questions, as needed. • Parents may attend. • Students may ask two fellow students to appear before the Board on their behalf. • In cases where several students are involved in the same offense, one Board may hear all cases. • Board decisions will be rendered by a simple majority vote. • The recommendation of the Board will be referred to the President/Principal for final decision.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES & ATHLETICS Kennedy Catholic High School, as a member of the North Puget Sound League (NPSL), participates at the 4A level in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA). As a member school of the WIAA, Kennedy Catholic and all its participants are subject to the rules and regulations set forth by the Association. Additionally, Kennedy Catholic has also developed the following Student Athletic/Activities Code which applies to all athletic/ activities participants. Kennedy Catholic has the Lancer as its mascot and school colors of scarlet red, navy blue, and white.
KENNEDY CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ATHLETIC/ACTIVITIES CODE
Athletics/activities are a part of a student’s total educational experience. They create a special environment in which students can develop a sense of loyalty and dedication to themselves, their family, and their friends. As a part of the total educational process, athletics/activities are an integral factor in the overall curriculum. Involvement builds social, mental, moral and spiritual values. It is in the pursuit of these values that we as Teachers hope to be of assistance to you. Definitions of Participants and Period of Coverage: This athletic/activities code applies to all students participating in interschool athletics/activities. Provisions of the code shall govern from the first turnout/meeting for the fall sports/activities program. These provisions shall also apply to nonparticipating periods during the school year, as may be applicable to each individual student. Dress and appearance will be governed by school policy, as outlined in this student handbook; however, more specific standards may be established by individual coaches/advisors. Students granted exceptions to the dress code will be advised as to the appropriate attire for these occasions by coaches/advisors. School-purchased/approved team apparel worn as a team on game days is approved - no other form of sweats will be allowed. Conduct: The following rules and regulations are intended to clarify student obligations as leaders and athletic/activity participants. Students must: • Meet the academic requirements for participants. • Maintain a satisfactory attendance record; attend all regularly scheduled classes unless appropriately excused. • On athletic/activity trips, obey bus riding, training and school rules, and regulations. • Remain with the squad, group, or team always and comply with the reasonable requests and directions of the coaching/ advising staff. • Turn out for all regular and special games, practices and meetings, unless excused by the coach/adviser. • Not possess or use non-prescription drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products.
ATTENDANCE: •
Students are expected to be in attendance at school in order to participate in athletics/extracurricular activities that day or evening. • Students, who have been truant during any part of the day, including assemblies and Masses, may not participate or compete until reinstated by the coach and President/Principal or President/Principal’s designee. • Students who participate in athletics/activities on school nights are expected to be in school for first period the following day. Chronic violation may result in the loss of participation. • Anyone checking into the Campus Life Health Center 6th or 7th periods may not be eligible to participate in any extracurricular activities held that day or evening. 19
ACADEMIC/ACTIVITY ELIGIBILITY
As part of Kennedy Catholic’s goal to prioritize academics before committing to co-curricular activities, students who are participating in athletics/activities will need to maintain passing grades in ALL classes as well as a GPA of 2.0 or greater. Those falling below standard at grade checks will be deemed ineligible to compete until they bring their grades up to, or above, standard. Coaches, relevant Teachers, and the Director of Athletics/Activity Coordinator will review findings and determine the appropriate participation level of an athlete who needs to meet the standard which will not be less than WIAA requirements. Academic Probation: Academic and behavioral checks will be conducted by the appropriate office for each activity at predetermined dates (traditionally the beginning of the semester and when quarter grades are due by faculty). If a student falls below standard at any check, that student will be placed on academic/athletic probation. The student may be required to attend Lancer Academy after school and will also need to get a progress report signed weekly by the Teachers of the classes that the student is failing. The student can become eligible to participate once they produce a grade check that meets academic standards.
SUSPENSION, EXPULSION AND DUE PROCESS
School Policy: Participants who violate the Athletic/Activities Code or the rights of other students or faculty members are liable to athletic/activity suspension or expulsion in accord with the due process specified hereafter. Students may also be subject to discipline. Definitions Athletic/Activity Expulsion: This is the indefinite exclusion from athletic/activity participation which may result immediately from any serious or chronic violation of the Athletic or Student Code of Conduct. Only the President/Principal or President/ Principal’s designee may expel a participant. Appeal of any athletic/activity expulsion will be at the discretion of the President/ Principal or President/Principal's designee. Athletic/Activity Suspension: Exclusion from competition for a specified period. The length of a suspension shall be determined by the President/Principal or President/Principal's designee, after consulting with the involved head coach/ advisor. Note: Violations of the Student and/or Athletic Code of Conduct may result in athletic/activity suspensions. Students suspended from school may be subject to an additional athletic suspension of up to one third of the remaining scheduled contests for athletes or a minimum of three weeks for activity participants. Procedures: The following procedures will be followed in all cases: • The participant may be suspended from the team/activity and not be allowed to compete/perform until notified by the President/Principal or President/Principal's designee. • The participant will be told the reason for suspension and be given an opportunity to respond. Parents will be contacted. • A participant or parent who does not agree with the imposition of a suspension may ask to meet with appropriate school authorities in order to discuss the concerns. Appeals will follow the due process stated below. • Participants allowed to return to the team/activity will be placed on probation. Probation: Students reinstated after being suspended will be on probation for a period determined by the President/Principal or President/Principal's designee after consulting with the involved head coach/adviser. Specific requirements of the probation will vary with the individual. Participants who violate the terms of their probation may be expelled. Due Process: In cases involving expulsion, participants may be given the opportunity to appeal to an Athletic/Activity Review Board. The process is designed to afford students the opportunity to, once again. explain their conduct in the matter. The Athletic/Activities Review Board will consist of the Chairperson, appointed by the President/Principal, the Director of Athletics/Activities Coordinator, and three coaches/advisers along with the head coach/adviser involved, a coach/adviser from another sport/activity, and one chosen by the student. • The involved head coach/adviser presents the facts of the case. The facts must be presented in writing to the Board and the parents prior to the meeting. • One or both parents may attend the meeting. • The student may present their own case to the Board. • The student may ask two fellow participants to appear before the Board on their behalf. • In cases where more than one participant is involved in the same offense, one Board may hear all cases. • Board decisions will be rendered by a simple majority vote. • The recommendation of the Board will be referred to the President/Principal for final action.
ENFORCEMENT OF THESE REGULATIONS
The Athletic/Activities Code is the guide for clarifying the rules and regulations that govern the conduct of student participants. Any problems that occur will be handled according to the procedures stated therein. If questions arise, contact your coach/ adviser or school officials for clarification.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Purpose: The Kennedy Catholic Activities Program has two primary goals: 1) to enrich student life by providing students opportunities for interaction outside of the classroom; and 2) to reinforce the goals of the academic curriculum. Specifically, the activities program attempts to do the following: • Give students a sense of personal responsibility for directing their own affairs; • Teach students the art of working harmoniously with others; • Acquaint students with enjoyable and productive ways of using leisure time; • Teach students the ability to lead effectively; • Teach students to recognize when following is an acceptable behavior and when compromise is the best solution to a problem; • Provide students an opportunity to develop worthwhile personality traits such as candor, poise and self-confidence; • And bring students to recognize the value of service to others. More than 60 extracurricular activities (including athletics) are available to Kennedy Catholic students. In addition to these organizations, Kennedy Catholic sponsors several annual events which have as a primary goal involving students in the life of the school. This yearly cycle begins in September with “Spirit Week,” designed to acquaint incoming freshmen with each other. Other annual activities include Tolo dances, Homecoming, and Senior Prom, to name a few.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Kennedy Catholic students are encouraged to assume a high degree of responsibility for self-regulation of student affairs through the agency of the Student Council. The responsibilities of the Student Council are listed in the ASB Constitution. In general, they are: • allocating dates for student activities; • fostering the growth of school spirit; • enacting legislation deemed appropriate for the welfare of the student body; • and addressing specific areas of Student Council concern. ASB cards are the official form of school identification. These cards are provided to each student at the beginning of each school year and qualify students for several discounts including free admission to all sporting events. Students must arrange to have their ASB card picture taken on the designated registration day in August. Students are required to have an ASB card to participate in any activity or athletic event sponsored by Kennedy Catholic. Assemblies are sponsored regularly by the ASB to encourage spirit and promote association activities.

Prom is for seniors only, unless a senior asks an underclassman. • Tickets for the dances are sold during lunchtime in the Activities Office the week of the dance. Students do not receive an actual ticket – they sign a Guest Log which will be at the door to the dance. The cost of the dance will be posted in the daily bulletin and eNews. • NO alcohol or other drugs are allowed on the premises. Students under the influence of an intoxicant will be suspended or expelled, as determined by the Administrator. • Doors close 1.5 hours after the beginning of the dance unless otherwise stated. • No one can leave (except permanently) once the dance has started. • Homecoming, Spring Fling, and Senior Prom are semi-formal.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer them.

Sentence #8=Concluding Sentence: (CS) • Finish your paragraph by reaching a conclusion and reiterating your opinion and offer a transition to the next paragraph.
EXAMPLE OF 8 SENTENCE PARAGRAPH:
(TS) The transition from middle school to high school is one of great change. (CD) One major change is the number of students in school. (CM) Many students come from a small middle school with no more than two or three classes per grade, making the transition to a larger school a bit frightening. (CM) It is easy to feel lost in a crowd when you no longer know everyone. (CD) In addition to the larger class size, one change many students face is a greater workload. (CM) Often, students in middle school are not prepared for the amount of homework they are assigned on a regular basis in high school. (CM) Feeling overwhelmed is normal but keeping track of assignments and forming study groups can be helpful to a student’s success. (CS) Though high school is a time of change, it does not have to be a time of stress or fear as students soon discover.
COMMONLY MISSPELLED WORDS:
There/their/they’re • Look! Over there! It is a person who uses there, their, and they’re appropriately. • My goodness, they’re having a good time. • They’re having a good time because they always know how to apply their grammar skills. Know/no • You know what, Teacher? No, what, student? We love this assignment. Whose/who’s • Whose phone just rang in my class? Who’s going to tell me the truth? Your/you’re • You’re the best class a teacher could have. If only you knew your homophones. Too/two/to • I am too tired to do two homework assignments tonight. Are/our • Are you going to the dance tonight? I’m not sure because our house is a mess and my parents said I have to clean it first. It’s/its • It’s (it is) difficult to remember all of these rules. • The dog kept chasing its tail. Accept/except • Accept is to receive (He accepted the reward.) • Except means to omit or to make an exception of (Everyone is invited except him.) Affect/effect • Affect is usually a verb meaning to influence or to impress (The story affected him.) • Effect is a verb that means to bring about (The new government effected radical changes.)
29
Among/between • Among is used with more than two (The faculty discussed the problem among themselves.) • Between is used with two (She stood between the tree and the rock.) Farther/further • Farther refers to distance (I have traveled farther than you.) • Further means additional or to a greater degree and is used when no notion of distance exists (I need further assistance.) Fewer/less • Fewer refers to a number (Use the express lane if you have ten items or fewer.) • Less refers to an amount (I prefer less salt in my food.) Principle/Principal • Principal means primary or sum of money (The Principal, Ms. Jones, could not pay the principal on the loan.) • Principle is a rule of conduct (He has strong principles.) All sentences must have a capital letter at the beginning and some sort of end mark (period, exclamation point, question mark). Students should not use “I think,” “I believe,” or “In my opinion” when making an argument. The same statement should be written without any of these terms. When using the word “like,” students must be comparing two things. Students should not use the universal “you.” Example: “When you read To Kill a Mockingbird, you begin to sympathize with Boo Radley.” Students should not use any language that is often found in a text message. This includes, but is not limited to: “u,” “w/,” “b/c,” “gr8,” “thanx,” “cuz,” etc.
PUNCTUATION
Comma A comma is used • after an introductory phrase, prepositional phrase, or dependent clause. • to separate elements in a series. • to separate nonessential information in a sentence. • between adjectives that are equal and reversible. • after a transition. • in quoted work. To avoid comma splices (joining two independent clauses with a comma), separate the clauses with a period, with a semicolon, or with a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction. Semicolon A semicolon is used • to join two independent clauses when the second clause restates the first or when the two clauses are of equal emphasis. • to join two independent clauses when the second clause starts with a conjunctive adverb or a transition. • to join elements in a series when the individual elements already contain commas. Colon A colon is used • to join two independent clauses when you want to emphasize the second clause. • after an independent clause when it is followed by a list, a quotation, or another idea directly related to the independent clause. Parentheses Parentheses are used to emphasize the content of the sentence. Use them to set off nonessential information such as dates, sources, or clarifying information. Quotation Marks Quotation marks are used • to enclose direct quotes. • around the titles of short poems, song titles, short stories, magazine or newspaper articles, essays, speeches, chapter titles, short films, and TV or radio episodes. Do not use quotation marks in indirect or block quotations. 30
Italics • Italics are often used interchangeably with underlining. • Italicize titles of magazines, books, newspapers, academic journals, films, television shows, long poems, plays of three or more acts, operas, and musical albums. • Italics should be used for foreign words, a word or phrase to emphasize meaning, or when using a word to refer to that same word. Apostrophe An apostrophe is used to indicate possession. It is also used in a contraction of two words shortened to become one by omission of letters.
SUGGESTIONS FOR EFFECTIVE PROOFREADING
If it’s your own work, allow some time to pass before proofreading so you can observe with a fresh eye. Read it through once without marking any errors. Use a printout of the document instead of viewing it online. Using a different format can allow you to more easily see errors. Next, read it through looking for mechanical problems (spelling, punctuation, sentence fragments, run-on sentences, comma splices, subject/verb agreement, parallelism, pronoun reference agreement, etc.). Finally, read it through looking for stylistic concerns such as faulty logic, sentence variety, sentence flow, and well-developed ideas. Often, many mistakes can be found by reading the piece aloud. A comma splice, for example, becomes glaringly evident when spoken. If you are reading someone else’s work, do so with a critical eye and don’t be afraid of hurting the author’s feelings with your respectful criticisms. It will be more damaging to the author to submit a paper with unnecessary errors and receive a poor grade. One last thing…if you are impressed with anything you read, make sure to let the author know that.
WRITING ASSESSMENT TRAITS
All your writing in high school should exhibit each of these six traits. Ideas: The student writes using details, examples, and anecdotes to develop and enrich ideas. Organization: The student organizes writing to enhance the reader’s understanding and lead to an intended conclusion or insight. Voice: The student writes to involve the reader and to show ownership and commitment. Word Choice: The student writes using words that convey the desired message accurately and that hold the reader’s interest. Sentence Fluency: The student writes material that reads easily and exhibits a smooth transition between ideas. Conventions: The student writes using standard conventions for sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, spelling, and punctuation.

LANGUAGE ARTS MLA style of documentation YOUR WORKS-CITED LIST
Your works-cited list should appear at the end of your essay. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the essay. Each source you cite in the essay must appear in your works-cited list; likewise, each entry in the workscited list must be cited in the text.
According to the Modern Language Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 8th edition: {1} {2} {3}
{4} {5} {6} {7} {8} {9} {10}
Double-space all entries. Begin the first line of an entry flush with the left margin, and indent lines that follow by one-half inch. List entries in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. If you are listing more than one work by the same author, alphabetize the works according to title. Instead of repeating the author’s name, type three hyphens followed by a period, and then give the title. Italicize the titles of works published independently. Books, plays, long poems, pamphlets, periodicals, and films are all published independently. If the title of a book you are citing includes the title of another book, italicize the main title but not the other title. Use quotation marks to indicate titles of short works included in larger works, song titles, and titles of unpublished works. Separate the author, title, and publication information with a period followed by one space. Use lowercase abbreviations to identify parts of a work (for example, vol. for volume), a named translator (trans.), and a named editor (ed.). However, when these designations follow a period, the first letter should be capitalized. Use the shortened forms for the publisher’s name. When the publisher’s name includes the name of a person, cite the last name alone. When the publisher’s name includes the name of more than one person, cite only the first of these names. Use the phrase, “Accessed 5 Jan. 2019” instead of listing the date or the abbreviation, “n.d.”

SUCCESS SKILLS tips for improving your memory & taking standardized tests TIPS FOR IMPROVING YOUR MEMORY {1} Keep notes, lists, and journals to jog your memory. {2} Decide what is most important to remember by looking for main ideas. {3} Classify information into categories. Some categories may be: a. Time – summer, sun, swimming, hot b. Place – shopping center, stores, restaurants c. Similarities – shoes, sandals, boots d. Differences – mountain, lake e. Wholes to parts – bedroom, bed, pillow f. Scientific groups – Flowers, carnation, rose {4} Look for patterns. Try to make a word out of the first letters of a list of things you are trying to remember. You also could make a sentence out of the first letters of the words you need to remember. {5} Associate new things you learn with what you already know. {6} Use rhythm or make up a rhyme. {7} Visualize the information in your mind. a. See the picture clearly and vividly. b. Exaggerate and enlarge things. c. See it in three dimensions. d. Put yourself into the picture. e. Imagine an action taking place. {8} Link the information together to give it meaning. {9} Use the information whenever you can. Repetition is the key to memory.
TIPS FOR TAKING STANDARDIZED TESTS {1} Concentrate. Do not talk or distract others. {2} Listen carefully to the directions. Ask questions if they are not clear. {3} Pace yourself. Keep your eye on the time, but do not worry too much about not finishing. {4} Work through all of the questions in order. If you do not think you know an answer to a problem, skip it and come back to it when you have finished the test. {5} Read all of the possible answers for each question before choosing an answer. {6} Eliminate any answers that are clearly wrong, and choose from the others. Words like always and never often signal that an answer is false. {7} If questions are based on a reading passage, read the questions first and then the passage. Then go back and try to answer the questions. Scan through the passage one last time to make sure the answers are correct. {8} When you finish the test, go back through and check your answers for careless mistakes. Change answers only if you are sure they are wrong or you have a very strong feeling they are wrong. {9} Do not be afraid to guess at a question. If you have a hunch you know the answer, you probably do! {10} Use all of the time allotted to check and recheck your test.

SUCCESS SKILLS successful notetaking SUCCESSFUL NOTETAKING
Taking notes reinforces what we hear in the classroom and requires active listening. Having accurate information makes your outside study and review time that much easier. Good notetaking requires practice. Be aware of each teacher’s lecture style; learning how to adapt to each style takes patience. Take notes as you (attentively) listen to the lecture. Keep notes in an individual notebook for each class or in a loose-leaf binder that has a section for each class. Your teacher may have certain requirements. Date each day’s notes, and keep them in chronological order. Some teachers provide outlines that tell you how a series of lectures will be organized; other teachers will deliver their lectures and expect you to write the information in your notes. Most teachers will emphasize important points by stressing them or repeating them a few times. Make a note in the margin or highlight any information the teacher specifically identifies as important. Write notes in short phrases, leaving out unnecessary words. Use abbreviations. Write clearly so you will be able to understand your notes when you review them. If you make a mistake, a single line through the material is less time consuming than trying to erase the whole thing. This will save time and you won’t miss any of the lecture. Don’t copy your notes over to make them neat; write them neatly in the first place. Don’t create opportunities to waste your time. Write notes on the right two-thirds of the notebook page. Keep the left one-third free for your follow-up questions or to highlight the really important points in the discussion. Listen for key ideas. Write them down in your own words. Don’t try to write down every word that your teachers say. Some teachers will use the chalkboard, an overhead projector, or a PowerPoint presentation to outline these key ideas. Others will simply stress them in their discussion. Soon after class, while the information is still fresh in your mind, create questions directly related to your notes in the left column of the paper. Place these questions across from the information to which it pertains. Highlight or underline any key points, terms, events or people. Quiz yourself by covering the 2/3 side of your notes and try to answer the questions you developed without referring to your notes. If you need to refresh your memory, simply uncover the note section to find the answers to your questions. Short, quick reviews will help you remember and understand the information as well as prepare for tests. Review your notes daily. This reinforces the information and helps you make sure that you understand the material. Make sure your notes summarize, not duplicate, the material. Devise your own use of shorthand. Vary the size of titles and headings. Use a creative approach, not the standard outline form. Keep class lecture notes and study notes together.

CATHOLIC EDUCATION the holy family An
Ordinary Family Life
A carpenter, a homemaker, and a bright young son. It could be your family, your neighbor’s, or any family. In this case, we’re speaking of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus of Nazareth. While Jesus was the Son of God, that didn’t give his family any special status or privileges. Like most other families, they worked and toiled, they studied and learned, they spent time together, supported each other, and shared joys and sorrows. They lived an ordinary life, and in that way, they demonstrated the honor of family life. They have shown us family life’s simplicity, importance, and challenges. “The future of humanity passes by way of the family.” — Pope John Paul II
Imagine Their Lives – Aside from the story of Jesus at age 12 in the temple, we know little about his early family years. Given what you’ve learned about Joseph and Mary, how do you think the Holy Family spent that those years from Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem to his time at the temple? ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ Feast of the Holy Family – The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Family on the Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s Day. If Christmas and New Year’s fall on Sundays, the Feast is celebrated on December 30.
Celebrating
Your
Family –
Sure there are days when your little brother bugs too much or your big sister gets bossy. Or maybe you’re an only child and have to take all your parents’ nagging! Whatever your family makeup, there are times when it’s tough and times when you’re so glad they’re there.

CATHOLIC EDUCATION liturgical year, colors
Calendar Marks Seasons A year is a year, except when you want to get more specific. There’s the calendar year from January through December, the school year from fall to spring, the varied fiscal years for businesses, and, yes, a liturgical year for the Catholic Church. These markings of time give us a cycle with a beginning, middle and end. Traditions Connect Us – Beyond turning calendar pages, tracking time helps Catholics learn more about our history, chronologically revisit events, celebrate specific holidays, and bring reverent meaning to our daily lives. The liturgical year connects us to both our faith and to each other with meaningful traditions. Repeating Seasons – In the Catholic Church, the liturgical year begins on the first Sunday of Advent and proceeds through the seasons, then repeats them, year after year. The seasons of the Catholic Church are: Advent Christmas Ordinary Time Lent Easter Pentecost Ordinary Time
Your Favorite Season – What’s your favorite season of the liturgical year? Why? ___________________________________________________ What are your family’s traditions during the different church seasons? ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ How do you think these traditions help connect you to your family and your faith? ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ 155
CATHOLIC EDUCATION the rosary
Contemplative Prayer Prayer beads, meditation time, and the ritual of repetitive prayers are common to many religions. For Catholics, one of the oldest traditions is praying the rosary, often done while holding rosary beads and moving from bead to bead after each prayer. This structured prayer includes the Apostle’s Creed, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and Our Father, as well as contemplation of one of four sets of mysteries of the rosary, which chronicle events from the New Testament. Time for Meditation, Focus – For those saying the rosary, the repetitive prayer offers an opportunity for meditation, focus, and devotion, whether prayed alone, with classmates or your family, at a funeral, or a celebration. For individuals, praying the rosary can be a time to step outside the routine, a few minutes of reflection and an opportunity to focus on your faith. Connecting Families, Groups – Some families begin a long car drive by saying the rosary. Others use this form of prayer during special times of the year, to bring the family together. For groups, the rosary can formalize a gathering time, helping to create connections, unity, and peace. “Give me an army saying the rosary, and I will conquer the world.” — Pope Pius IX “The rosary should always be seen and experienced as a path of contemplation.” — Pope John Paul II
You and the Rosary How do you feel after praying the rosary? ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ What does praying the rosary give you? ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ 156
