Student Conduct CodeThe following rules, which we believe are the B*E*S*T*, are the rules all
children are expected to follow while on school grounds. B*E*S*T* Rules: Be kind to each other. Every person deserves respect. Safety counts! – Walk and keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself. Take care of your school and the property of others. Other rules may be added for classrooms and specialty areas. Each teacher has discussed these rules with your child. If a child chooses not to obey these rules, certain consequences will follow. ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTIVE MEASURES 1. Incident Report – An incident report will be used to inform the parents of an incident involving their child. Parents are encouraged to review the information with their child and support the corrective action initiated by staff. Students and parents are required to sign the form and return it to school. 2. Conference – Parents may be required to attend a conference at school to meet with student, staff, and/or administration. 3. Detention – This measure is to be used to correct misbehavior. The person issuing the detention will inform the student why the detention was issued. After three detentions, parents may be required to meet with student, staff and/or administration. 4. In-School Suspensions – Suspensions will be used in the more serious cases of misconduct. In-school suspension is preferable whenever possible. Parents will be required to attend a conference with the student when their child is issued an in-school suspension. 5. Out-of-School Suspensions – Suspensions will be used in the more serious cases of misconduct. Suspensions will be for no longer than ten (10) school days with the exception of indefinite suspensions. Indefinite suspensions will be issued in cases where behavior is such that it is felt a conference with the parent would be beneficial, or the seriousness of misbehavior, and circumstances warrant a hearing with the Board of Education. In each case of suspension, the parent will be notified by phone, if possible. An incident report and/or letter will be sent stating the reason for the suspension. A copy of the letter will be provided to the student to take to his/her parents at the time of his/her dismissal. A copy of the incident report or letter will be placed in the student’s discipline file. Suspensions may be from classes and extra-curricular activities or from extra-curricular activities only. Action by the administration is not limited to those items listed, nor are corrective measures limited to those included in this conduct code. Incidents of misconduct and administrative actions in this document are to serve as guidelines in carrying out the student conduct philosophy of the Dundee Board of Education. ATTENDANCE & TARDY POLICY Good attendance is necessary in order for students to learn and master the district’s adopted curriculum. The majority of elementary students are regular in their attendance. The majority of our parents understand the necessity of seeing that their child is in school when well. We also know that attendance patterns are developed at an early age. In an effort to ensure that all of our students receive a sound education the following elementary attendance policy has been developed. It is the parents’ responsibility to see that the child gets to school on time. If your child arrives late, he/she must report to the office first before going to the classroom. Continued tardiness will result in the principal contacting the parents. Dundee Attendance for All Day Students • Students arriving after 7:55 will be marked tardy. • Students arriving after 8:40 am will be considered ½half day absent. • Students arriving after 12:25 pm will be considered all day absent. • Students that sign out early will be considered ½ day absent for the pm if they sign out before 2:10 pm. A letter will go home on the 8th unexcused absence (no doctor’s note) or 8th tardy. A parent meeting will be held with the building principal upon the 12th unexcused absence or 12th tardy. Students with 20 or more unexcused absences maybe recommended for retention. Also, students with 20 or more unexcused absences or tardies maybe referred to the county attendance officer. If incompliance occurs at this stage, parent(s)/guardian(s) maybe charged with a misdemeanor. |
Nurse NewsILLNESS
It can be difficult to decide when to keep your child home due to illness. The following is a list of guidelines to help assist you with decision-making: Ø Fever – If your child’s temperature is over 99.6º, it is recommended that you keep him/her home, especially if the fever is associated with runny nose, sore throat or if he/she is too sick to enjoy group activities. Ø Rash – Many of the rashes that occur are a form of contact dermatitis or an allergic rash to something in the environment. If your child’s rash is associated with an uncomfortable amount of itching, a fever, or it seems to be spreading, then please talk to your child’s doctor before taking him/her to school. Ø Runny Nose – A clear, watery, runny discharge poses no threat to other children in school. Often times it is due to allergies. A runny discharge that is thick and discolored (green or yellowish brown), especially if accompanied by a fever, may mean that an infection is present. Ø Sore Throat – If your child has a fever, cough or thick runny nose along with a sore throat, or if he/she has a sore throat that stays more than a day or two, he/she should be kept at home. Ø Ear Infections – Ear infections are not contagious. Your child may attend school as long as he/she is not in pain and the ear is not continually draining. Ø Vomiting or Diarrhea – Please make sure your child is able to keep liquids down for at least 12 hours prior to returning to school. Your child should also be able to eat a meal before returning to school. Ø Cough – A physician should evaluate a cough that lingers and sounds deep. Ø Pink Eye – There are several types of Pink Eye or Conjunctivitis. If your child’s eye is just pink then he can be in school. However, if the pink eye is associated with any draining and frequent itching, then please have your child evaluated by a doctor. Please keep your child at home for 24 hours after starting medication. When you return your child to school after being out ill, please remind him or her of the following: cover their mouth when they cough, use tissues, drink plenty of liquids and wash their hands frequently. If your child has a communicable disease, he or she must stay home until they are no longer a threat to other children. If you child comes to school and we suspect that he/she has a communicable disease, the parent or person listed on the emergency card will be contacted and the child will be sent home until the doctor certifies the child does not have a communicable disease. The following are general recommendations for uncomplicated communicable diseases, as outlined by the Monroe County Health Department: Students will be excluded from school for the following illnesses: German Measles (Rubella) – until rash disappears. Measles (Hard, 7-Day) – Seven days after the appearance of a rash. Mumps – Until swelling is gone or other manifestations have disappeared (usually one week). Chicken Pox – Until all lesions are dry and crusted (usually one week). Scarlet Fever – Until physician’s approval to return. Scabies – Until completion of treatment. Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) – Until medical treatment has been initiated. Impetigo – Until medical treatment has been initiated. Ringworm – Until medical treatment has been initiated. |
