su regreso. 2. El estudiante será marcado como ausente sin excusa a menos que una nota de un

médico, dentista, terapia, etc. es traído. A continuación, la ausencia del estudiante será excusado

Skipping

● We define skipping school as a student that oversleeps, skips morning classes or skips certain

periods during the day.

● Skipping will result in detention time or in-school suspension.

Tardy Policy Students are expected to come to school on time and be in their seats ready to learn

when the bell rings. A tardy is when a student is late to class without an excused note from staff.

Anyone who is late for a class needs to report to the office for a tardy pass. After 20 minutes the

tardy becomes an unexcused absence. Students are allowed two tardies per class per quarter. Any

tardy after the first two per class will be assigned 30 minutes to be made up with the classroom

teacher. Time owed also negatively affects the incentives & extracurricular eligibility cycle.

Once time is made up the teacher will report it to the office. Teachers may use their discretion

with tardies.

Extra-Curricular Activities: Good Conduct Policy Participation in extracurricular activities is part of a well-rounded

educational experience. Extracurricular activities provide the benefits of promoting additional

interests and abilities in the students during their school years and for their lifetimes.

Participation helps develop responsible and productive citizens. Students who participate in

extracurricular activities serve as ambassadors of the school district throughout the calendar year,

whether away from school or at school. Students who wish to have the privilege of participating

in extracurricular activities must conduct themselves in accordance with board policy and must

refrain from activities that are illegal, immoral or unhealthy. It is recognized this is not a criminal

court standard. By participating in extra-curricular activities, the student agrees with this

determination procedure concerning alleged violations. The student recognizes the extra-

curricular activity is a privilege, not a right. The privilege is subject to interpretation of violations

of

17 Top

this policy. The student agrees to accept this interpretation by choosing to participate in the

activity. Students who fail to abide by this policy and the administrative regulations supporting it

may be subject to disciplinary measures. The principal shall keep records of violations of the

good conduct rule.

I. Violations of Good Conduct include:

● Possession, use, or purchase of tobacco products, regardless of the student's age;

● Possession, use, or purchase of alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine (having the odor

of alcohol on one's breath is evidence of "use");

● Being in attendance at a function or party where the student knows or has reason to know that

alcohol or other drugs are being consumed illegally by minors and failing to leave despite having

a reasonable opportunity to do so (This is known as the “Mere Presence” clause);

● Possession, use, purchase, or attempted sale/purchase of illegal drugs, or the unauthorized

possession, use, purchase, or attempted sale/purchase of otherwise lawful drugs; this includes

unlawfully obtained prescription drugs, drug paraphernalia, and look-alikes;

● Engaging in any act that would be grounds for arrest or citation in the criminal or juvenile

court system (excluding minor offenses such as traffic or hunting/fishing, violations), regardless

of whether the student was cited, arrested, convicted, or adjudicated for the act(s);

II. Mere Presence Students and parents need to thoroughly understand the third bullet under

“Violations.” This outlines mere presence violations. What this means is that if a student is in

attendance at a function or party where the student knows or has reason to know that minors are

consuming alcohol or other drugs illegally, or in the presence of a criminal law violation

(regardless of citation, conviction, or adjudication) and fails to leave despite having a reasonable

opportunity to do so; they are in violation of the Good Conduct Policy. If a student finds

themselves in such a situation they have four options:

1. Leave immediately. An intention to leave is not a defense. Nor is being the "designated

driver." 2. If people arrive at your location with drugs/alcohol apply "reverse" peer pressure to

convince the persons responsible for bringing the contraband substances to leave and take the

drugs/alcohol with them. 3. Otherwise get rid of the offending substances. (Flush or pour, but do

not consume!) 4. Stay and risk loss of eligibility for extracurricular activities.

Any questions about the “mere presence” clause should be directed to the principal.

18 Top

II. Reduction in Penalty: Students will have the ability to have their length of penalty reduced

according to the following guidelines:

1. Voluntary Admission Prior to Determination: If a student admits a violation of the

Good Conduct Rule prior to a finding of guilt by the administration, the student's penalty may be

reduced by 50%. Voluntary admission is not applicable when a student is charged by a law

enforcement agency. 2. Evaluation and Treatment: A student who has a violation of the alcohol

or drug provision of the Good Conduct Rule may elect to seek an evaluation and, if

recommended, treatment from a recognized substance abuse facility at the student's or student's

family's expense. If the student seeks the evaluation and agrees to waive confidentiality to allow

the evaluating facility to report back to the superintendent or designee regarding

recommendations for treatment or follow-up care, the student's penalty for the third violation

may be reduced by 50%. 3. A student who violates the "mere presence" provision of this policy

shall serve one-half of the established penalties for the first, second, or third violation. 4. Items 1,

2 or 3 of this section cannot be combined. 5. Reductions of penalties (#'s 1, 2 & 3) are not

available for students who have

been determined to be lying or misleading during the investigation.

III. Penalties:

1. FIRST VIOLATION: The student will be declared ineligible for the equivalent of two

calendar weeks with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 event dates. The period of ineligibility

starts the day before the next scheduled event date and continues consecutively.

2. SECOND VIOLATION: The student will be declared ineligible for the equivalent of 4

calendar weeks with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 event dates. The period of ineligibility

starts the day before the next scheduled event date and continues consecutively.

3. THIRD VIOLATION: The student will be declared ineligible for the equivalent of 8 calendar

weeks with a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 event dates. The period of ineligibility starts

the day before the next scheduled event date and continues consecutively.

4. FOURTH VIOLATION: The student will be declared ineligible for the remainder of their

school career.

Homecoming Court & Student Council: Students will be ineligible for 1 calendar year from the

date of any violation. Class officers and student council members will be removed from office if

they violate the Good Conduct and Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco policy during their term in

office.

19 Top

Each day of actual competition/performance (if an event is not held or canceled, it will not count

as an event for the student to be sitting out) will count as one event date when completing the

period of ineligibility. If multiple events occur on the same date, it counts as one event date.

Performance is defined as representing the school in any appearance before the public. This

would also include pep rally performances for Dance Team and Cheerleading. Performances

would not include scrimmages or recognition/games at pep rallies. Event dates will be calculated

using the level of competition (varsity, JV, C team etc.), which the student athlete was

playing/performing immediately prior to the date of violation. A person is eligible the day after

completion of the period of ineligibility. Students will not be allowed to wear a uniform at the

event dates while serving their suspension. The student will be expected to participate in

practices.

IV Extracurricular Activities:

Football Volleyball Cross country Basketball Wrestling Golf Track Baseball Softball Soccer

Cheerleading Dance FFA Choir concert (if not part of the class grade) Band Concert (if not part

V. Determination of Violation: Student is said to have violated the handbook, criminal law

standards, alcohol, tobacco, and drug rules if:

a. Found so by adult or juvenile authorities OR b. After a thorough investigation school officials

have determined that a violation occurred.

Standard of evidence:

20 Top

· It is recognized this is not a criminal court standard.

· It is more likely than not, that a violation has occurred.

By participating in extra-curricular activities, the student agrees with this determination

procedure concerning alleged violations. The student recognizes the extra-curricular activity is a

privilege, not a right. The privilege is subject to interpretation of violations of this policy. The

student agrees to accept this interpretation by choosing to participate in the activity.

Types of evidence include (but not limited to):

· Statements from witnesses

· Statements from student in question of violation

· Media/pictures/videos etc.

· Possession of illegal materials or look-a-likes

· Law enforcement statements

Statements from witness: Information regarding possible violations will only be considered if

witnessed by staff member (certified or support), law enforcement officer, board member or

information given via a written and signed statement from eyewitnesses. All witnesses will need

to provide a written and signed statement to the Principal.

VI. Other Related Items.

A. The principal or his/her designee, once a violation is determined, will calculate the number of

scheduled activity dates to be missed by the student with a starting and ending date designated

for the period of eligibility. The principal will notify the parents/guardians of the determination

of violation and communicate the period of ineligibility and the appeal process. If investigation

process will take longer than one school day, parents will be contacted prior to determination of

violation. B. The consequences attach immediately upon a finding of the violation if the student

is currently engaged in an extra-curricular activity and, if not or if not completed during the

current activity, is begun or carried over to the time the student seeks to go out for the next

activity or contest. C. All students entering ninth grade begin high school with a clean slate. D.

Students must complete each extra-curricular/co-curricular activity season in good standing with

the coach or sponsor for the ineligibility to be completed. Failure to do so may jeopardize future

eligibility. E. NOTE: Violations Occurring During Ineligibility. If a student is ineligible (Iowa

Academic Eligibility, WS eligibility cycle, or current Good Conduct Violation) at the time of a

new violation of the Good Conduct Policy, the penalty for the violation will not begin until the

student regains their eligibility.

21 Top

VII. Appeal Process.

1. The student may file a written appeal to the superintendent of schools within

three (3) days following the determination of violation. The superintendent shall schedule a

hearing and the superintendent shall consider the evidence presented, including statements made

by the student, and make a written finding of its decision within three (3) days. 2. If the claimant

is dissatisfied with the superintendent's action, the student shall be

29 Top

ANTI-BULLYING/ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY The West Sioux CSD is committed to

providing all students with a safe and civil school environment in which all members of the

school community are treated with dignity and respect. Bullying and/or harassment of or by

students, staff, and volunteers is against federal, state, and local policy and is not tolerated by the

board. Bullying and/or harassing behavior can seriously disrupt the ability of school employees

to maintain a safe and civil environment, and the ability of students to learn and succeed.

Therefore, it is the policy of the state and the school district that school employees, volunteers,

and students shall not engage in bullying or harassing behavior in school, on school property, or

at any school function or school-sponsored activity.

Definitions For the purposes of this policy, the defined words shall have the following meaning:

“Electronic” means any communication involving the transmission of information by wire, radio,

optic cable, electromagnetic, or other similar means. “Electronic” includes but is not limited to

communication via electronic mail, internet-based communications, pager service, cell phones,

and electronic text messaging.

“Harassment” and “bullying” shall mean any electronic, written, verbal, or physical act or

conduct toward a student based on the individual's actual or perceived age, color, creed, national

origin, race, religion, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical attributes,

physical or mental ability or disability, ancestry, political party preference, political belief,

K-12 education in the 21st Century. Technology is an integral component in the lives of students;

technology also directly impacts the future of students. All students must have access to

technology and technology must be a safe and appropriate tool for learning.

The District retains control, and supervision of all technology including computers,

networks and Internet services owned or leased by the school. The District reserves the right to

monitor all use of technology. Each person has no expectation of privacy in their use of the

The District has purchased insurance coverage subject to a $250 deductible per damage or loss.

The District reserves the right to charge the user the full cost for repair or replacement when

damage or loss occurs due to gross negligence as determined by administration.

Electronic Devices/Cell Phones etc. The learning environment is one that should be free of

distractions. To ensure this, electronic devices, such as, but not limited to, cell phones, iPods,

MP3 players, are not allowed to be used in the classroom during the school day (8:10-3:09).

Electronic devices will be allowed in the hallways between classes and during a student's lunch -

but only allowed in classes to use for educational purposes at the teacher's discretion. Teachers

can require students to place cellphones in a specific location (such as a box or organizer) during

class time.

Cell phone usage includes, but is not limited to, making a call, answering a call, checking

messages, text messaging, checking for a signal, using a picture phone, and having the phone

ring (or noticeably vibrate). It is strongly suggested that student cell phones and other electronic

devices be left at home.

● First Offense: Verbal redirect and re-teach expectations, student puts device away.

● Second Offense: a student's electronic device is confiscated and the teacher holds the phone (is

a safe location) until the end of the period.

● Third Offense: a student's electronic device is confiscated by teacher (holds the phone safe

location), the student can pick it up at the END of the school day.

● Fourth/Subsequent Offenses: a student's electronic device is confiscated and turned in to the

office, a parent can pick up the device at their convenience, during school hours.

● If a student has excessive cell phone control problems the administration & parents will

develop a plan to solve the problem.

Internet Policy The Internet can provide a vast collection of educational resources for students

and employees. It is a global network, which makes it impossible to control all available

information. Because information appears, disappears and changes constantly, it is not possible

to predict or control what students may locate. The school district makes no guarantees as to the

accuracy of information received on the Internet. Although students will be under teacher

supervision while on the network, it is not possible to constantly monitor individual students and

what they are accessing on the network. Some students might encounter information that may

not be of educational value. As technology is a vital part of the school district curriculum, the

Internet will be made available to employees and students.
