SCHOOL GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

Regular attendance is vital to the learning process. Students who are absent not only miss valuable instruction, but also the questions, answers, explanations and discussions which promote thinking, interaction with others and effective learning.

Students who have been absent from classes for any reason need to speak with their teacher upon their return to review any content or assignments that may have been missed. The service of the attendance officer may be called upon to ensure student safety when the school is unable to contact parents or other family

LATENESS: Students are expected to be punctual and prepared for school every day. A student is considered to be late when he or she is not in the assigned class at the designated time. Students who arrive late must get a late slip from the office to present to the teacher they are scheduled to be with.

LOCKERS: Grade 7 and 8 students are assigned individual lockers that are school property. Students supply their own locks and provide the combination or a duplicate key to their homeroom teacher. Students should keep their combinations confidential and their lockers locked at all times.

TEXTBOOKS and Library Books: Texts and library books that are issued by the school become the responsibility of the student, while remaining the property of the school. If a book is lost or damaged, the student will be assessed the cost of the book.

TELEPHONE: Students may obtain permission to use the office phone between 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.

BUS TRANSPORTATION: Students who are eligible for ridership on the Divisional school bus must follow the divisional and school code of conduct and are subject to all requirements of our Code of Conduct. Bus drivers are the designated supervisors of all children riding the bus.

STUDENT DRESS CODE:

• Hats, bandanas and outdoor wear are not permitted in classrooms• Students must wear indoor footwear at all times• T-shirts must not have offensive slogans or symbols depicting drug or alcohol use or

advertising• Students must change into appropriate gym attire for all gym classes/activities unless

otherwise advised• During hot weather appropriate school clothing is still required. No short shorts – mid-thigh

length is recommended as a guideline, no spaghetti straps that allow underwear to show, ormuscle shirts.

Students are required to dress appropriately for school. The school's expectations for apparel are discussed with all students at different times throughout the school year and include:

4

LEAVING THE SCHOOL OR CLASSROOM:

Students must have permission to leave the school building during school hours. Students needing to leave the school due to illness or for an appointment will be issued a permission slip from the office to be given to their classroom teacher.

CELL PHONES: Cell phone use for calls or texting is not appropriate during class times. Students are expected to leave these devices in their lockers during instructional time, unless teachers haveallowed their responsible use as a learning and planning device.

PHOTOS:

Students are not permitted to take photographs in the school using any device without prior permission from teachers or administration.

VALUABLES:

Students are strongly advised to leave their valuables at home. If a student must bring items of value to school, they should be secured at all times. General Vanier School accepts no responsibility for lost or stolen possessions.

ELECTRONIC GAMES AND DEVICES:

Electronic games and MP3 players are strongly discouraged as their use is not permitted during the instructional day. The school will not be responsible if they are lost or stolen.

BICYCLES, SKATEBOARDS, SCOOTERS, ROLLERBLADES, ETC:

Students bring bicycles, skateboards, scooter and rollerblades to school at their own risk. The school accepts no responsibility for damage to or loss of these items.

Bicycle racks are located at the north and south ends of the school. Students should stay away from these areas except when parking or retrieving their bicycle. Bicycles should be locked at all times.

In order to ensure the safety of everyone on the playground, all students are required to dismount their bicycles and walk them when on school property. Skateboards and scooters must also be dismounted and carried when on school property. Students should remove rollerblades and put on their street shoes when they reach school property.

LUNCH HOUR INFORMATION:

Lunch programs are a service that schools provide to their community. The Louis Riel School Division recognizes that providing supervision during the lunch hour accommodates parents who require supervision for their children during the lunch hour. Staying for lunch and accessing this service is a privilege and not a right.

5

Students are dismissed for lunch at 11:30 AM with classes resuming at 12:25 PM. This affords most students the opportunity to go home for lunch. The expectation is that Grade 7 and 8 students will go home for lunch.

Parents of students who cannot go home for the lunch hour may register their child as a “guest” in the lunch program for a fee of $100.00 for the school year or for $1.00 per day on an occasional basis. This fee helps cover the costs of hiring Lunch Supervisors. All students registered in the lunch program are expected to demonstrate respectful behaviour. Students accessing supervised lunch shall be subject to school and divisional disciplinary guidelines, which permits temporary removal and /or suspension from attendance, as determined by the school administrator. Students who have persistent difficulties following the rules and procedures of the lunch program may have the privilege suspended as per Administrative Guideline JLIAA. If this occurs, parents are expected to make alternative out-of-school lunch hour arrangements. We ask that you discuss this with your children to help the success of the General Vanier School lunch program.

Children who stay for lunch at General Vanier School will be supervised by paid adult employees of the School Division (Lunch Supervisors) and an “on call” teacher.

Students who remain at school for lunch are expected to:

• demonstrate respect and compliance with supervising adults• go directly outside when dismissed from their class at 11:30• show respect for all individuals and property (including food)• adhere to the school code of conduct and expectations• remain in their seat in their assigned room or area• assist with lunch clean-up routines requested by adult lunch supervisors• use appropriate voices (volume and tone)• get a note of permission from their parents if they wish to leave the school grounds during the

lunch hour

STUDENTS NOT EATING LUNCH AT SCHOOL

Supervision is provided only for students staying at school for lunch and paid for by their parents. Therefore, students who eat lunch at home should not arrive back at school earlier than 12:25 p.m. This improves student safety by keeping the ratio of supervisors-to-students at a reasonablelevel. Parents of students arriving earlier than 12:25 p.m. may be asked to contribute to the costsof supervision.

SEVERE AND LIFE THREATENING ALLERGIES

The staff and parent community of General Vanier School, strive to provide a safe environment for all our students. There are children who suffer a LIFE-THREATENING allergy to peanut butter and nuts. Even exposure to a tiny amount of these items could be potentially serious and life threatening.

6

COLD WEATHER

When the wind-chill is -27° to -30° students will spend a maximum of 15 minutes outside at recess and the beginning of the day. Students are to remain outside prior to the bell. At a wind-chill of -30°, students remain indoors for recess. Patrols will not be required to be on duty. Parents are responsible for ensuring that their child is dressed appropriately for the weather.

CODE OF CONDUCT AND EXPECTATIONS

Students and staff are expected to exhibit a commitment to learning and to achieving success. As a division and school we believe that most students behave appropriately and that the ultimate goal underlying our policy and practice is to help students develop self- discipline. Attributes of appropriate behaviour include but are not limited to:

• respect for self and others;• empathy;• cooperation;

Parents/guardians are expected to support the expectations of the Public Schools Act (58.6 – 58.8) that states parents will cooperate fully with the child’s teachers and other employees of the school division or school district to ensure the child complies with school and school division or school district student discipline and behaviour management policies. Adults in the learning environment can effectively support students’ ability to meet behavioural expectations with the following behaviours:

• Establish and publicize school routines.• Develop collaborative processes to establish and publicize classroom rules and

expectations for student behaviour.• Provide safe, productive learning environments characterized by an atmosphere of

respect and courtesy.• Model respect for all and promote cooperation.• Model respect for school and divisional guidelines and governance policies.• Respect the findings of current educational research, as related to behavioural

management.

• courtesy;• responsibility;• honesty.

We take care of all children with health care needs and do our utmost to ensure the safety of all students.

• Avoid sending all snacks or items containing peanuts/nuts with your child to school includingfood, snacks, or chips cooked in peanut oil.

• Inform your child’s teacher before giving food products to any children, other than your own atschool.

We can help make the school environment safer, therefore ask for your co-operation.

PROTOCOLS FOR COMMUNICATION

At General Vanier we strive to have open communication with parents and our community members.

Our school web page is a valuable source of information with many helpful links to other documents and information. We encourage parents to check this on a regular basis as information is updated continuously. All Louis Riel schools are also linked with Twitter (https://twitter.com/vanierLRSD) and so you may also follow us for some information on current events.

For other concerns, we bring divisional protocol, to your attention, which describes the process for resolution of concerns that may come up from time to time.

Feel free to contact the school if you have any questions.

LOUIS RIEL SCHOOL DIVISION PROTOCOL FOR THE RESOLUTION OF CONCERNS

The Louis Riel School Division Protocol for resolving concerns or conflicts strives to maintain positive, honest and respectful relationships to address misunderstandings that may occur between members of its school community. When such misunderstandings occur, the central priorities must be:

• the best interests of students who may be affected by the misunderstanding;

• providing opportunities for the person(s) most closely involved in the misunderstandingto resolve it promptly and conclusively.

Differences of opinion are a normal part of human relationships and offer opportunities for communication, new learning and improved relationships.

In all cases, clear, timely and direct communication assists effective resolution of misunderstandings:

• When you have a concern regarding a matter involving your young person(s)and another student, beginning with your young person’s classroom teacher mayhelp. S/he may direct the inquiry further to another classroom teacher or theadministration. However, you may believe the situation is more appropriatelyaddressed by the administration team. If whomever you decide to consult about aconflict between students is not immediately available, leave phone numbers and timeswhen the teacher/administrator can return your call.

• If you have a concern involving a staff member, please contact that person asyour first step. Again, if that person is not immediately available, leave information thatwill assist him/her to contact you. Once in contact with the staff member, state yourconcern as clearly and calmly as is possible. This is an opportunity to ensure that anymissing information is provided to resolve the concern. Most, if not all, differences can beresolved satisfactorily at this level.

In either instance, if your concern is not satisfactorily resolved your next step is to speak with the Principal or Vice-Principal at the school after informing the staff member that you intend to do so. This action supports honest working relationships between parents/guardians and staff members. The majority of concerns are resolved at the school level. However, if your concern remains unresolved after discussion with the Principal or Vice-Principal, again after informing him/her of your wish to do so, contacting the Superintendent’s Department is appropriate.

If the concern cannot be resolved by contacting the Superintendent’s Department, you may then direct your concern, in writing, to the Louis Riel School Board. The Board will respond, usually following inquiries with the involved parties. The Board and the Superintendent’s Department trust that this process will result in the satisfactory resolution of those concerns which may, from time to time, arise between members of our school community. Your cooperation with this Protocol is helpful and appreciated. Communication is the key!

I predict what will happen in the book.

I check to see if the book is too easy.

I check to see if the book is too hard.

I ask my friends or family if they have read this book.

If I can’t read a word:

I can reread the word.

I can look at the letters at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end

of the word.

I can pronounce the sound of the letters.

I can try to find a smaller word in this word.

I can replace this word with another word that means the same thing.

I can skip this word, continue reading and then come back to predict the

word.

I can ask someone.

When I don’t understand the story:

I can look at the pictures.

The Seven Teachings

Respect is to care for all people, animals and the earth. The Buffalo is the teacher of respect.

Love is treating all of life with kindness and acceptance. The Eagle is the teacher of Love.

Courage is showing bravery in our daily lives. The Bear is the teacher of Courage.

Wisdom is learning about what makes you special and unique. The Beaver is the teacher of Wisdom.

Humility is to know that everyone is important. The Wolf is the teacher of Humility.

Honesty is trying to always make good decisions so others know they can trust you. The Sabé is the teacher of Honesty.

Truth is to be true to all the teachings and make them part of our lives. The Turtle is the teacher of Truth.

My 5-Point Scale

I am doing great. I feel good about myself and about what is going on around me.

I am doing OK. I am upset. I can stay where I am and keep working. I can control my anger by myself.

I am getting frustrated. I need to walk away from a situation. I will tell my teacher that I need a break.

I am getting too angry. I am starting to clench my hands and my face feels hot. I need to go to my safe place to calm down.

I am ready to explode.

I want to hit or kick someone or throw something. I need an adult to help me go to a safe place so I can calm down.
