Educators: Educators are caring and qualified professionals committed to working collaboratively to maximize student potential by upholding rigorous standards and incorporating best practices.

This is accomplished by addressing the unique abilities of all students in a college preparatory environment so they continue to learn and live in a global society.

Parents: Parents reflect family and model Catholic Christian values. They are involved, supportive, and committed to creating a school that is accessible to all.

Students: Students form a diverse, respectful, and active school community. They demonstrate leadership through their work ethic, service, pursuit of knowledge, school spirit, and commitment to spiritual growth.

Faith: An authentic Catholic High School, we anchor ourselves to the Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching, fulfilling the mission of the Church with its accessibility, inspiring a call to live as Jesus lived.

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 that 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.

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 the 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 educational background in English, Laboratory Science, Mathematics, Social Studies and Theology. At the same time, the curriculum contains a number of 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 of time 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 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 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 of Academics 5) Principal 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.

8

Students will be notified through a letter from the Principal and Vice Principal of Academics 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 the probation period. 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 will impact 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.

Academic Credits: While enrolled at Kennedy Catholic, academic and elective courses required for graduation from our school must be taken at Kennedy Catholic in order 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: 1) Obtain approval by the Department Chair, Counselor, and Vice Principal of Academics in writing before enrolling in the class at another school; 2) Provide an official transcript from the outside institution to the Kennedy Catholic Registrar; 3) Obtain minimum pre-requisite grade as stated in Kennedy Catholic’s course catalog; 4) Pass Kennedy Catholic challenge exam with necessary grade; and 5) 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 of Academics 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 departmental distribution totals.

High School Credits: High school credits in mathematics and World Languages earned prior to entry into the 9th grade at Kennedy Catholic will be entered with a “CR” on the Kennedy Catholic transcript under the following conditions: • Student must pass the Kennedy Catholic final exam in the subject.

• Student is placed by Kennedy Catholic Department Chair in an advanced level class.

Student records, transcripts and cumulative records are maintained in a confidential manner that will assure the rights and privacy of students and parents/guardians. 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 3 years) of the medical or learning issue by certified professionals 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 of 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 8 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 test. Contact the student’s school counselor to initiate this request for accommodations.

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 teacher-initiated changes will be allowed. The time frame to process incomplete second semester schedules is from January 7 to 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.

The mission and culture of the Kennedy Catholic community strives to graduate leaders who follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life calls and challenges every member of the Kennedy Catholic community to respond to the needs of others, especially the poor and marginalized, through works of service. Kennedy Catholic’s Integrated Service Learning Experience (ISLE) facilitates student academic learning through meaningful service experiences, assisting students in responding to the Gospel call. ISLE encourages students to deepen their personal sense of responsibility for the needs of others while using Catholic Social Teaching as a framework for reflection. By graduation, each Kennedy Catholic student will have completed a minimum of 50 hours of service with a culminating cross-curricular paper and panel presentation.

ISLE Requirements follow these general guidelines: 9th grade: 10-hour minimum of service to your family (Theology class) 10th grade: 10-hour minimum of service to church/school/community (Theology class) 11th grade: 30-hour minimum of service with one approved agency (Theology class) 12th grade: Paper (English class) & Presentation (Social Studies class)

The Valedictorian is the student with the highest scholastic standing in the graduating class. The Salutatorian(s) is/are the student(s) with the second highest standing.

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. There will be clear penalties for violations of academic integrity (see page 19). Those violations and penalties are listed in the Discipline section of this handbook. Major or repeated violations may lead to expulsion because integrity is so essential in a Catholic education.

ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES

When a student leaves school or misses a class for any reason, he/she must first report to the Campus Life Office. Parents must be contacted before a student may go home. Those students failing to report will be considered skipping or truant depending on the number of periods missed.

All injuries affecting attendance or participation in class must be reported immediately to the Campus Life Office. In the event that 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.

If you must get in touch with your student in case of emergency and are unable to do so by other means, you may leave a message for the student at 206.246.3787 or email the Campus Life Office at attend@kennedyhs.org.

SCHOOL POLICY & DEFINITIONS

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 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. Students will not be penalized for work missed while participating in school activities. All work missed may be made up per the teacher’s timeline.

Family vacations should coincide with school holidays. Students are not permitted to leave campus during student liturgies or assemblies. Please consult the school calendar before making any/all medical appointments.

Absences and loss of credit - Students must live with parents or legal guardians to attend Kennedy Catholic. Regular class attendance is necessary if students are to obtain the most from their educational experience as a part of the Kennedy Catholic Community. Students may lose credit in a course if they miss 10 class periods in a given semester (not including school related absences). Note: Financial aid may also be affected.

Absence - A student is considered absent if they miss more than 15 minutes of a given class.

Accumulated Absences Students who are absent 10 or more days in any one class period will be in jeopardy of losing credit for that course.

When a student reaches 5 absences in a given class, the Campus Life Office will notify parents to discuss potential ramifications.

At 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 petition for credit.

The student may be asked to submit a written petition to the Academic Vice Principal explaining the extraordinary circumstances causing the absences. In conjunction with the Campus Life Office, the Academic 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.

EXCUSED ABSENCES

Including but not limited to illness or injury to the student or family member that requires the student to remain at home, funeral, Kennedy Catholic activities, medical/dental appointments or other parent/guardian excused absences. Students are required to complete a pre-arranged absence form and obtain applicable signatures for any absence planned/arranged in advance.

SKIPPING/TRUANCY

SKIPPING is missing one class without excuse and results in a Disciplinary Work Crew.

TRUANCY is missing two or more classes in the same day without excuse and results in one Disciplinary Work Crew.

TARDINESS

A student is considered tardy if they are late for class, up to 15 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, the student is considered absent.

Tardiness is disruptive to the learning environment and demonstrates negligence. As such, students may be assigned detention for any tardy. This will be followed by applicable progressive discipline for future offenses.

ATTENDANCE REVIEW BOARD

Students accruing10 absences in a given class period, in the same semester, may lose credit for the course. Students and parents will have the opportunity to appeal for credit restoration, through the Academic Vice Principal’s Office.

Should a student have a chronic medical condition or extenuating circumstance they believe warrants exemption from the above noted absence policy, contact should immediately be made with the Campus Life and Academic Offices.

REGULATIONS

In compliance with Washington State Law, immunization reports must be on file in the Campus Life Office before the start of school. No student may attend school without a form on file.

Attendance at school assemblies and Masses is mandatory. Absences from assemblies and Masses will be treated as absences from class.

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.

Students who participate in any extracurricular activities are required to be in full attendance during the day of an activity/ contest. Any absence from class (even if an excused absence) will prevent participation unless previously cleared by the Athletic Director 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.

State tournament play may modify the school schedule. Email permission to attend@kennedyhs.org from a parent must be received before the game.

Kennedy Catholic maintains accurate attendance records to comply with Washington State law.

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.”

Kennedy Catholic High School 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.

TECHNOLOGY POLICIES 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.

Acceptable Use Policy: see website for the Acceptable Use of Computer and Network Services Policy in its entirety: https:// www.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).

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.

DISCIPLINE SCHOOL RULES

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.

Any harassment, threat or damage to school personnel, their property or family, will result in expulsion and referral to the proper authorities.

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.

Cheating, lying, forgery and plagiarism destroy one’s credibility and character. Academic dishonesty, cheating, or plagiarism involves an attempt by the student to show possession of a level of knowledge or skill that he or she does not possess. It can include, but is not limited to, theft, possession or unauthorized use of any answer key or model answers. It can also include entering a teacher’s desk, cupboard or locker without specific permission. Other violations include, but are not limited to: • Copying, faxing, duplicating or transmitting with any technology, any assignment that will be turned in as original work, or helping others to do so.

• Exchanging assignments by printout, disk transfer, modem or other electronic or recorded means, and then submitting it as original work.

No one other than students in community service classes 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.

Seniors enrolled in community service are allowed to leave campus during the designated period to perform their agency work. The Campus Life Office will have an updated list of those students enrolled in community service. Problems arising from the misuse of this off-campus privilege may cause the individual to be dropped from the course with a failing grade.

OFF LIMITS:

Students needing to go into the parking lot during the school day need Campus Life Office permission or they will be considered off campus.

Off limits areas are: the gym/loft area and locker rooms, the faculty areas, the shop, kitchen, maintenance areas, stage, balconies, weight room, Little Theatre and boiler room, unless supervised.

15

Contraband: The school reserves the right to search lockers, students and cars for contraband at any time, at any location within two blocks of school or any school activity.

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 the sole criterion for disciplinary action. The frequency of disruption must also be considered an important factor.

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.

DRESS AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:

Philosophy: In accordance with our school mission statement, we expect students to have high standards of personal appearance. In partnership with our families, we want to enable students to make sound decisions in a healthy academic environment and to promote the following values by means of clean, modest, and respectful dress and appearance: self-esteem, positive motivation and sensitivity to others.

Policy: Clothing and hair are to be professional, in good taste, and not offensive or distracting. Clothing is to be neat and clean.

Dress code rules apply during school hours, on campus, on any school day, in or out of the building.

Guidelines: Clothing is to be free of holes, tears or frays. Dress code applies from enrollment day to the final student day of the school year. Dress code on Mass Day is Sunday best.

DRESS CODE STANDARDS

Dress Code Dress and appearance should always reflect neatness, cleanliness, modesty and good taste. Clothing may not refer to alcohol, alcohol-related establishments, tobacco, drugs, anti-religious messages, sexual innuendo 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.

The school reserves the right to search all electronic devices. Electronic devices may be used outside of 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.

16

Extraordinary Parent Conduct: Parental cooperation is essential for the welfare of students. If in the opinion of the administration, parent behavior seriously interferes with the teaching/learning process, the school may require parents to withdraw their children and sever the relationship with the school.

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 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 be limited to the following: Facebook, snapchat, twitter, etc., when language or behavior leads to or risks conflict or disrespect in the school, or otherwise threatens school safety and security.

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 get worse. 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.

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 liquid 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; however, the right of free speech may not be used to disrupt the educational process or interfere with the rights of others.

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 Principal or Principal’s designee.

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 the 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.

If a student is threatened, becoming a potential victim to that threat, the principal or 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 this 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.

Kennedy Catholic also has a “Zero Tolerance” policy toward possession of paraphernalia for such use. 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, on or off campus, or within two blocks of any school-related activity, 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 must undergo a professional alcohol/drug assessment, prior to returning to school, and successfully complete any alcohol/drug 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 period TBD may also apply. Any student caught selling, attempting to sell or distributing alcohol or any other drug will be expelled and proper authorities notified.

Upon direct request from the colleges for information pertaining to a student’s discipline record, Kennedy Catholic counselors will honestly and fully disclose if a student has been subject to a disciplinary action, 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 action for violations of the Honor Code. This policy is in compliance with the National Association for College Admission Counseling’s Statement of Principles of Good Practice.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES DESCRIPTIONS

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; • Bring students to recognize the value of service to others.

More than 50 extracurricular activities (including athletics) are available to Kennedy Catholic students.

In addition to these organizations, Kennedy Catholic sponsors a number of 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 budgets for various student activities; • Allocating dates for student activities; • Fostering the growth of school spirit; • Enacting legislation deemed appropriate for the welfare of the student body Specific areas of Student Council concern include: ASB Cards are the official form of school identification. These cards are provided to each student at the beginning of each school year. Students must arrange to have their ASB Card picture taken on the designated registration day in August.

Participating in high school athletics is a privilege. In order to represent Kennedy Catholic High School in athletic competition, participants must meet a variety of requirements set forth by both the school and the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA). The following list highlights a number of key WIAA rules that may affect athletic participation. For additional questions, please contact the school’s athletic office.

Academic Standards for Athletics As part of Kennedy Catholic’s goal to prioritize academics before committing to co-curricular activities, students who are participating in 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. Coaches, relevant teachers, and the Athletic Director will review findings and determine the appropriate participation level of an athlete who needs to meet the standard, not less than WIAA requirements.

Athletic Academic Probation: Academic and behavioral checks will be conducted by the athletic office for each sport season at predetermined dates (the beginning of the semester and when quarter grades are due by staff). If a student is failing two or more classes at any check, that student will be placed on academic/athletic probation. The student will 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 he/she receives a grade check that indicates he/she no longer has two failing grades.

24

Transfer Students: Varsity eligibility for all transfer students is determined according to WIAA policy. Paperwork for eligibility must be completed in partnership with the Athletic Director.

Season Limitation: A student will have four consecutive years of athletic/activity eligibility beginning with first enrollment as a ninth grader.

Age: A high school competitor shall be under 20 years of age at the beginning of the sport season in which he/she participates.

Limited Team Membership: After joining a school squad, a student may participate in non-school athletic activities, provided, in the opinion of school officials, the activities do not adversely affect the performance of the athlete in practice and/or competition.

Enrollment and Regular Attendance: A student must be enrolled and in regular attendance within the first 15 school days in a semester in order to participate in interscholastic contests during the current semester.

Previous Semester Rule: A student shall have been in regular attendance in an elementary, intermediate or high school during the semester immediately preceding the semester in which the contest is held.

ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS

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.

Practice Attendance: Regular attendance and promptness are imperative if students are to succeed as athletes. Occasionally, it may be necessary to be either absent or tardy; however, common courtesy dictates that students notify their coaches in advance or have a valid excuse when they return.

ATHLETIC LETTER REQUIREMENTS

The following basic premise is understood in establishing letter requirements for each sport at Kennedy Catholic High School: The head coach of any sport, with the approval of the administration, has the responsibility for setting the requirements and awarding varsity letters for the sport.

The coach has the right to award letters to participants, even though the letter requirements for that sport have not been satisfied. The following are conditions that would warrant this kind of coach’s decision: • If, in the judgment of the coach, the athlete would have lettered but did not compete for a significant portion of the season because of medical problems.

• If the participant is a senior who has turned out for two or more years and has contributed to the total program of that sport.

Athletes of Kennedy Catholic High School are limited to the wearing of the following letters and emblems on approved school athletic sweaters and jackets: • The first time an athlete letters, the school letter and a bar may be worn on a sweater or jacket.

• Subsequent years in which an athlete letters are to be indicated by the placement of additional bars on the original letter (thus, the maximum number of bars would be four).

• Emblems may be worn to indicate individual, individual event, or team champions for different levels of competition, beginning with league. Also, emblems may be worn to reflect ribbons, medals, or team trophies won at the state level of competition.

• Stars may be worn to indicate individual or team advancement to post-season levels of competition (e.g., league, district, state). Stars may also be worn to reflect selection to the all-league first team.

• Only recognition received while a student at Kennedy Catholic High School may be reflected on a Kennedy Catholic letter jacket or sweater.

• Athletes who fail to observe these guidelines will lose the privilege of wearing a school letter sweater or jacket.

Note: Items such as the athlete’s name and year of graduation may be added at the request of the student.

O Master Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

1. I am the Lord your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.

2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.

3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.

4. Honor your father and your mother.

5. You shall not kill.

6. You shall not commit adultery.

7. You shall not steal.

8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

9. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.

10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.

THE BEATITUDES

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

MEMORARE

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your assistance or sought your intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence, we fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother; to you we come; before you we kneel, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer them.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK MLA FORMAT AND GUIDELINES FOR ENGLISH PAPERS

Papers must be typed, double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font only.

Papers should be printed on standard, white, 8.5 x 11-inch paper.

Margins of paper should be 1 inch all sides.

Indent the first line of paragraphs one-half inch from the left margin, using the “tab” key.

Create a header that numbers all pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner, one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin.

Only use italics in your text when writing a foreign word or phrase or when absolutely necessary to provide emphasis.

If you have any endnotes, include them on a separate page before your Works Cited page. Entitle the section Notes (centered, unformatted).

A Works Cited page should be the last page(s) of your paper. The page(s) should be separate and be labeled as such.

FORMATTING THE FIRST PAGE OF YOUR PAPER

Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested.

In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your teacher’s name, the course, and the date.

Double space again and center the title (if a title is requested). Do not bold, underline, italicize, or place your title in quotation marks; write the title in Title Case (standard capitalization), not in all capital letters.

Use quotation marks and/or italic when referring to other works in your title, just as you would in your text: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as Morality Play; Human Weariness in “After Apple Picking.”

Double space between the title and the first line of the text.

IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT MLA

Always underline or italicize the titles of books, websites, movies, periodicals, plays, or any large work.

Always use quotation marks when writing the titles of articles, short stories, poems, television shows, or songs.

On the Works Cited page, always indent the second line of your citation/documentation, and any lines that follow, five spaces, but DO NOT INDENT the first line.

Microsoft Word 97 and newer editions have a reference section for help in using MLA format.

8 SENTENCE PARAGRAPH FORMAT

The following eight-sentence format is very useful in achieving all the basic necessities of information presentation for the purposes of writing about literature or any other topic in high school. This structure is the basis for many future writing assignments.

Sentence #1=Topic Sentence: (TS) This introduces the topic or theme, contains an opinion, acts as a sub-thesis in a longer paper, and should include the title of the literature being discussed.

Sentence #2=Concrete Detail (or quote): (CD) Contains a piece of quoted text, and often begins with “For example…” or another demonstrative phrase.

Sentence #3=Commentary: (CM) Offers your view of the information you are presenting, and may include the phrase “This shows…” or something similar.

Sentence #4=Commentary: (CM) Further discusses your critical view of the information you are presenting.

Sentence #5=Concrete Detail (or quote): (CD) Presents another piece of concrete information for you to discuss and comment on, and may start with the phrase “In addition…” or something similar.

Sentence #6=Commentary: (CM) Offers your view of the information presented in your second concrete detail.

Sentence #7=Commentary: (CM) Further discusses your critical view of the information presented by CD #2.

Sentence #8=Concluding Sentence: (CS) Finish your paragraph by reaching a conclusion and reiterating your opinion, and offer a transition to the next paragraph.

31

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 work load. (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.)

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.

32

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.

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 of 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.
