WITHDRAWAL FROM A CLASS Students cannot withdraw from a class after two (2) actual class periods from the beginning of the semester. Students that withdraw after the two (2) class periods will receive an F on their transcript.

15

WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL In order to ensure proper handling of school records and to facilitate entrance into another school, a student wishing to withdraw from school will: 1. Obtain a withdrawal form from the counseling office. 2. Return all text books to the proper teacher 3. Have the withdrawal form signed by the student=s teachers, the librarian, and the main office. If a student owes a fine or has lost books, records will be held in the office until such charges have been cleared.

ATTENDANCE ATTENDANCE POLICY As well as fostering thinking skills and academic knowledge, school attempts to teach social responsibility. In an effort to achieve this, the following policy will be enforced at Bear Lake High School. Student attendance is the responsibility of the parent or guardian and the student however, the school will attempt to keep parents informed of student absences. Students will have 24 hours to have an absence(s) cleared once they have returned to school, or it automatically becomes an un-excused absence. The responsibility will be on the student and parent to clear the absence. This will generally be done by a phone call or note from the students legal guardian. Failure to do so will result in a 30 minute detention.

Attendance Policy at Bear Lake High School POLICY NUMBER: 400.7 EFFECTIVE DATE: June 14, 2000 Revised October 11, 2005 Revised March 5, 2007 Purpose: This attendance policy has been established for the following reasons: 1. It is the responsibility of the parent to insure their student attends school (Idaho Code 33-202)

16

2. It is the responsibility of the administration of the school to encourage our students to attend regularly, and to contact parents when a referred=s absences become excessive. 3. A student=s attendance is directly related to his or her academic success and the quality of his or her school experience. 4. Schools are measured by their students= scores on the ISAT tests. There is a positive correlation between attendance and student scores on this achievement test. 5. Schools have a responsibility, along with parents, to help students prepare to successfully enter the work force after graduation. Attendance at school will prepare for attendance at work. Policy: 1. Students who are absent more than six (6) periods in any class per semester may lose credit for that class. 2. Students who lose credit because they failed to meet the attendance policy may appeal to the high school attendance committee. The committee will determine if extenuating circumstances exist. Appeals must be made in writing within seven days after the semester ends. Upon receiving the appeal, the committee will meet with the student and parent/guardian. It is the responsibility of the student and parent/guardian to provide documentation from a doctor or court official to explain extenuating circumstances. This documentation must be provided at the time of the attendance appeal meeting. 3. For this policy, no distinction will be made between excused absences, un-excused absences or truancies. *SCHOOL EXCUSED ABSENCES DO NOT APPLY TO THE ATTENDANCE POLICY. 4. A tardy of more than ten minutes is considered an absence. 5. After three tardies a student will be referred to the office, where the principal or vice-principal will assign detention. 6. All decisions by the attendance committee may be appealed to Superintendent and/or the School Board.

17

7. If after meeting with the school attendance committee, a student=s absences continue to be excessive, under Idaho Code 33-206, and if the school attendance committee deems that the student and parent have violated the attendance regulations established by the board, the school attendance committee will notify the superintendent, who may then refer the student to the school board. If the school board determines that the parents or guardians have failed or refused to cause such child to be instructed as provided in Idaho Code 33-202, the child shall come under the purview of the juvenile corrections act if he or she is within the age of compulsory attendance. At that point a representative of the school board may notify the Bear Lake prosecuting attorney and recommend that a petition be filed against that student and parent in the Bear Lake District Court, as per Idaho Code 33-206. Criteria to be used by the attendance committee when determining a student=s loss of credit due to excessive absences: 1. Pre-arranged absences - this includes a family vacation or other special event. 2. Medical problems - this includes unforeseen family or personal medical emergencies. 3. Family crisis - death in immediate or extended family qualifies for a family crisis. 4. Academics in each class - this involves the teacher=s assessment of the student=s commitment and participation in his or her class. 5. Past attendance history. 6. Disciplinary action on file - student=s log of truancies and suspensions will be reviewed. BOGUS NOTE POLICY Writing of bogus notes is wrong and illegal. When a bogus note is written, the writer of the note will receive 1-5 days of suspension, and will receive the appropriate punishment, which will be assigned by the Principal or Vice-Principal.

18

IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES - SCHOOL ATTENDANCE FOR PARTICIPATION In order to protect the health and well being of the students who participate in school activities, the following policy will be followed: Students who are not in school the 2 day of any Bear Lake High School sponsored activity shall not be permitted to participate in the activity that day or evening. This includes both practices and games. Students who have pre-excused absences will not be subject to this ruling. PERFECT ATTENDANCE Perfect Attendance will be rewarded at the end of each semester. STUDENT CHECK-IN PROCEDURE If it is an cleared absence, a day for each day absent will be granted for makeup. If the student was aware of an assignment or test before the absence, he/she is responsible to complete the assignment or test the day he/she returns to class. STUDENT CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE After a student once arrives at school and has to leave, other than for a school function, the student must report to the office and check out. Permission from a parent or guardian must be granted whether by phone call or a written note before the school will release the student. The student must report to the office when returning to school. TARDY POLICY Three tardies will result in 30 minutes of detention. For every reoccurring tardy thereafter the student will also serve 30 minutes of detention. The principal or vice-principal will assign detention.

19

TRUANCY TRUANCY IS DEFINED AS: 1. Absence from school without permission and

knowledge of parents, guardian, or school. 2. The cutting of individual class or classes or leaving

school without permission after once reporting. In an emergency situation, a student should report to the office before leaving school.

Don=t give out your combination or block the doors open. Remember lockers will need to be cleaned out at the end if the school year. SCHOOL PROPERTY WHO OWNS THIS SCHOOL? Surprisingly, YOU do! Parents and all taxpayers are legally required to pay taxes that build and maintain the Public School System. Everyone pays taxes in one form or another. Therefore, any damage done to this building, equipment, buses or books must be paid for with your own family=s money! It is not enough that you should refrain from doing anything to increase this cost to your parents, neighbors and yourself, but you must help protect the school by discouraging or reporting such activity by any others. REMEMBER, most trouble starts as fun! Students should not mark school furniture, walls ceiling, floor or equipment with pen, pencil, paint or any other instrument. Do not tamper with the fire alarms, fire extinguishers or any electrical systems. Anyone who willfully destroys school property through vandalism, arson, or larceny, or who creates a hazard to the safety of our students will be referred to the proper law enforcement agency. It=s everyone=s responsibility to stop vandalism. SPEECH

26

Theft includes stealing school property from faculty, school employees, or other students. Breaking and entering includes the school building, lockers, locked rooms, or other areas prohibited to students because of time or specific reason. Stolen or lost property should be reported to the office promptly.

STUDENT VALUABLES Students are cautioned not to bring large amounts of money, radios, or cameras to school, and if they wear glasses or watches, to keep track of them at all times. Students, not the school, are responsible for their personal property. If it is necessary to bring more money than needed to pay for lunch, leave it at the office for safe keeping. Do not leave it in your locker. SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS The school is fortunate in having capable people to help whenever our regular teachers are ill. A substitute teacher is an important visitor whose impressions of the school will be carried into the community. Be certain that these are good impressions by being polite, helpful, and considerate. Class rules do not change when substitutes are there. TELEPHONES

27

Phones will be available for student use before school, during lunch and after school. Messages and deliveries from home should be left in the office. Students will be called out of class only in an emergency. Don=t come to the office during class time to use the telephone. Always ask permission to use the phone. TEXTBOOKS All basic texts are loaned to students for their use during the school year. Workbooks and other supplies are paid for by the student. Textbooks are to be kept clean and handled carefully. If a textbook is not returned to the appropriate teacher, the student will be required to pay replacement cost of the book. VISITOR POLICY Student visitors are not permitted. Non-student and non-staff members are to check in the office when conducting business or desiring to visit students during the school day. Violations may be viewed as trespassing. DISCIPLINE POLICY AND PROCEDURE DISCIPLINE One of the most important lessons education should teach is discipline. While it does not appear as a subject, it underlies the whole educational structure. It is the training that develops self-control, character, orderliness, and efficiency. It is the key to good conduct and proper consideration for other people. With an understanding of the purposes of discipline in a school, you may form a correct attitude toward it. You may also do your part in making your school an effective place of learning and develop the habit of self-restraint which will make you a better person. It is impossible for teaching or learning to take place in a classroom unless good order is maintained. Students are

28

reminded that they must adhere to a code of good behavior not only for their own benefit, but also for the benefit of others as well. Dismissal From Class: The following procedure will be followed when students are requested by teachers to remove themselves from the classroom or other areas: W The faculty member will ensure that the student is escorted to the office or will inform the office on the intercom that the student is on his or her way. W The student will then be given the opportunity to respond to allegations. W Following an evaluation of the referral information and discussion of the problem, the administrator will determine the course of action to be taken. Possible consequences of Unacceptable Behavior: Any one of the following actions may be taken to ensure that the behavior is not repeated: W Referral to law enforcement agencies.

W Denial of privileges and/or probation. W Suspension from school for a period not to exceed five days. W Assignment to the time-out room.

W Parent conference. W Work details or restitution. W Before or After-school detention. W Counseling. W Other consequences as deemed appropriate by the school administration. Time-Out Room - In-school Suspension: Students will be placed in a time-out room suspended from all classes and

29

activities for a period of time not to exceed three days. Students in the ATime-Out@ area will be denied visitors and involvement with other students including having lunch at the same time as other students. Students in the ATime-Out@ area will be allowed to complete assignments or approved reading by faculty members. Aides will be sent around to teachers to see if there are assignments teachers would like students to complete while in detention. Suspension: Continued and willful refusal to accomplish school tasks even though able to do so; insubordination; disorderly, vicious, illegal or immoral conduct and persistent violation of school regulations are causes for suspension from school. This includes violation of narcotics laws, use of alcoholic beverages, hazardous or unauthorized use of automobiles, use of weapons or fireworks, or violation of any local, state, or federal law. Length of suspension will be determined by school authorities and will reflect the offense committed. Parents or guardian, will be notified in writing of the action taken and will have complete custody and jurisdiction of their student during the suspension. A suspended student may not loiter or appear on school property or at any school-sponsored activity at or away from the school. A student will be readmitted to school after a satisfactory solution to his/her conduct is agreed upon by parents, student, and administration. Continued behavior that results in suspension will lead to expulsion (dismissal from school). Expulsion Recommendation: Students who cannot abide by the school policies and regulations or whose behavior is detrimental to the education and welfare of students and who will not respond to discipline or counseling will be recommended to the Superintendent of Schools and Board of Trustees for expulsion from school. When a student commits an act that is so offensive to the school, its staff members, or a student, even though it is a first or second offense, he/she may be suspended immediately from school and recommended to the Superintendent and Board of Trustees for expulsion from school.

DRUG POLICY

30

controlled substances, or related paraphernalia, on school premises.

Any student will violate the district=s drug, alcohol, and tobacco use policy when:

Students who are currently under an expulsion from another school district or another school within the Bear Lake School District will not be permitted to be enrolled in a school within the Bear Lake School District until they can provide documentation from the previous school district confirming that the provisions of the original expulsion have been met. The necessary documentation must include a statement that the time period identified in the original expulsion has expired. Depending on circumstances, this can be waived by Administration. SAFE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

31

The Bear Lake School District and Bear Lake High School are committed to the development and maintenance of a safe school environment that provides individual students and staff with an opportunity to learn and work in a setting where their personal safety is protected.

COUNSELING Students may seek the service offered by the counselors at their own discretion or may be referred to the guidance service by members of the faculty. A collection of information on different occupations and training institutions is on file in the counseling office.

Counseling hours will be from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00P.M. The guidance services at Bear Lake High School are designed to help students find answers to the following: (1) Registration for high school subjects.

FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children=s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level.While students are minors and in secondary education, FERPA rights are held by the parent or guardian. Therefore, information about the student and his/her progress and attendance in classes can be released to the parent/guardian. This includes parent-teacher conferences and phone contact as well as direct mailing to the parents. Dual credit and dual enrollment classes are college classes and, as such, are considered school beyond the high school level.Therefore, FERPA rights are held by the student, not the parent. This means that instructors may not talk to parents about student progress or class attendance without the prior written consent of the student (even if the student is still a minor and the parent is paying for the class!) The exception is if the parent or guardian submits a declaration of dependence form to the educational institution in question. FINES All fines owed by students from previous school years must be paid in full before they will be allowed to register for current school year. HALL PASSES Any student who is in the hall during class time must have a hall pass. As a general rule, students will not be in the halls once class has started or is in session. However, emergencies do arise and therefore, each classroom is provided with a teacher signed hall pass. Only one student at a time will be allowed use of a hall pass. Students who are in violation of this policy will be handled in the same manner as if he/she were tardy. LOCKER SEARCHES Students are responsible for keeping their locker combination to themselves. The school reserves the right to search any and all students lockers as a part of the routine school inspection. In the event information has been given school authorities that lead them to believe a locker may contain dangerous or prohibited items, those lockers can and will be searched. Regular locker inspections will be held several times during the school year. LUNCHROOM

39

Students are not allowed to leave the lunchroom with food. All food must be eaten in the lunchroom so that excess food, containers, and wrappers will not be scattered throughout the school building or on the school grounds. Students are expected to use good table manners and to clean up their eating area before leaving the lunchroom. Students who do not conduct themselves in an appropriate manner will be denied the privilege of eating in the lunchroom. Students will be allowed to charge one (1) lunch on their account. MEDIA CENTER The media center is for reading, studying, and research. Books, magazines, computers, and other reference materials, plus assistance from the media center staff, are available for use by students and staff. Use the media center often, but do not abuse the privileges by talking and disturbing other students. The media center is open Monday & Tuesday from 7:50 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Pupils will be admitted to the media center during class time with an admit from the classroom teacher. Those students who do not have admits will be returned to the teacher=s classroom and denied admittance to the media center. Books may be checked out for a period of time not to exceed two weeks. Magazines may be checked out for a period not to exceed three days. Reserved books may not be checked out by students unless they have a written teacher=s request. Fines will be assessed against any borrower who does not return media materials on, or before, their due date. The fine will be five cents per day per item not checked in. All fines must be cleared before the end of the semester. Materials that are lost or damaged will be paid for at replacement cost. The cost for magazines will generally be five dollars and the cost for a vertical file is ten dollars. Computers shall be used in compliance with posted instructions and school-wide rules.
