SAINT JAMES SCHOOL POLICY HANDBOOK

* * * * * * * * * *

The first area governing the rights of a student in Catholic education normally derives from contractual arrangements between the school and parents and/or the rules of the school covering student conduct.A second area includes statues that are developed by state or federal legislatures requiring Catholic schools to conform to certain rules.For example, specific state health, safety and certification codes affect Catholic schools.

The purpose of this Handbook is to clearly state the area that comes under contractual arrangements between the school and parents and the rules of the school covering student conduct.

Academics

Curriculum should be understood to include every learning experience sponsored by the school.The subjects included in the curriculum meets the requirements of the Connecticut State law and Diocesan policy.The school follows the course of study and /or curriculum guides published by the Office of Catholic Schools.

The religious education program, in the context of Catholic faith and values, provides for proper integration of religious instruction, formation and experience.

On all levels, homework is an extension of classroom study and is an important phase of school curriculum.It generally involves completing written assignments, projects, book reports, studying what has been learned, and preparing for tests.The amount of time spent on homework ranges from 1/2 hour in the primary grades to 1 1/2 hours in intermediate grades and to 2 hours in middle school grades. If papers are sent home to be signed, parent's signature indicates that the parent has seen the papers, not necessarily approved of them.

Middle School Homework Policy(Grades 6-8):It is the student?s responsibility to complete all homework assignments, and to accurately list the assignments in an assignment notebook on a daily basis.If an assignment is not handed in on the date due, the student will be given the chance to hand it in for half-credit the following day.If the assignment is still not done, the student will receive a zero for the assignment.Zeroes and half-credits will result in the reduction of the student's final average for the quarter in that subject.A detention will be issued when a student has received a third zero for not completing homework assignments in a class.

Report Cards for grades 1 through 8 are distributed quarterly:November, January, April and June.The Kindergarten teacher will meet with each student?s parent(s) in November to give an oral evaluation of the child?s progress.Kindergarten report cards will be issued for the last three quarters.Pre-Kindergarten parents have conferences with teachers.

Interim progress reports are used to keep parents and students informed between marking periods.Extra evaluation notices requested by parents on a daily/weekly basis, in addition to regular progress reports and report cards, will be issued at the sole discretion of each teacher.

Make-up Work

If a family takes a vacation, which does not coincide with the school calendar, teachers do not have the responsibility of preparing classwork ahead of time for the absent student.The teacher will prepare work for regular absences after the second day of absence.Call the office for the student's work, and the work will be sent to the office to be picked up.

Standardized Tests

Standardized Tests are usually administered in March as follows:

Grade 3 - IOWA TESTS OF BASIC SKILLS (Core Battery including listening and word analysis)

Grades 4&6 - IOWA TESTS OF BASIC SKILLS (Complete Battery)

Grades 5&7 - IOWA TESTS OF BASIC SKILLS (Core Battery) and COGNITIVE ABILITIES TESTS.

Testing results, evaluated from the comparison of the students' expectancy scores with performance scores, are an important part of prescribing instruction to meet individual differences.

Each student's results are sent home to be reviewed by his/her parents.

Health and Safety

School authorities will give special attention to the health and general well being of the students, in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut.

Physicals are required for all children entering Kindergarten and Grade 7, and a copy of the physical must be presented to the Nurse before the first day of school.All Documentation of Immunization and health records of new students must be in the Nurse's Office before the first day of school.

Medicine-Should it be necessary for your child to be given medicine during the school day, Connecticut State Law mandates the following:

1.The child's physician must fill out a form that is available in the school office.

2.A separate prescription bottle properly labeled, must be delivered to the school office by an adult.

3.The School Nurse will provide the medication according to the prescription.In her absence, the

principal or teacher, if trained, will assume this responsibility.

Under no circumstances is a child allowed to transport medication to or from school.This policy applies to prescription and over-the-counter medications.

A sports form with a physician?s signature stating a student can play any extracurricular sport including cheerleading must be given to the coachbefore the first practice.

In the event of sickness at school, parents shall be contacted before the child is released.A parent or designated representative must sign the child out in the Office.An emergency number must be recorded in the Office in case the parents are not available.

In the event of absence, parents are requested to do the following:

1.Call the School Office before 9:00 AM on each day of absence and report the reason for the absence.

If this is not done, the School Secretary will call to inquire.

2.When the student returns to school, send a note stating the date(s) of absence and reason.

3.In the event of an accident or operation, a written note must be submitted to the School Nurse in order to

have the student excused from Physical Education classes.

4.If a student is absent during a school day with illness, he/she is not allowed to attend any evening

activity on that day.

Regular attendance is essential for academic progress.School authorities will follow the mandates of Connecticut State law dealing with unexcused absences.A student will be referred to Juvenile Court if he/she has 4 unexcused days absent within a month or 10 unexcused days absent within the school year.Excessive absenteeism (excused or unexcused) may place promotion in jeopardy.The parent(s) of pupils with continuing poor attendance or tardiness will be requested to come in for a school conference which would involve teacher(s), social worker, administrators and Youth Service Department.Every effort will be made to provide support to the pupil and parent to ensure good school attendance.

Health Screenings

All children (K-8) will be screened for vision and hearing defects.Postural screening will be done on students in Grades 5 through 8.Parents will be notified of any screening failures and are encouraged to request screening and rescreening if they have concerns regarding their child?s vision, hearing or posture.

Security

Any person visiting the school while classes are in session must first report to the School Office to sign the Visitor Book and get a Visitor badge.This includes parents, volunteers, salespersons, workmen, or other visitors that arein the building during school hours.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS ANY VISITOR TO GO DIRECTLY TO A CLASSROOM!

Parents who are divorced need to provide the school with a notarized copy of the custody section of the divorce decree.This information will enable the school to determine when, if ever, a child can be released to a non-custodial parent.

Saint James abides by the provisions of the Buckley Amendment with respect to the rights of non-custodial parents.In the absence of a court order to the contrary, the school will provide the non-custodial parent with access to the academic records and to other school-related information regarding the child.If there is a court order specifying that there is to be no information given, it is the responsibility of the custodial parent to provide the school with an official copy of the court order.

Fire Drills

Fire Drills are practiced monthly.Students are informed of the evacuation procedures for the classroom they are in and these procedures are posted.While responsibility for a smooth evacuation lies with the staff, students are expected to respond to the alarm quietly and quickly.If you are in the building when an alarm is sounded, please proceed to the nearest exit.

No one should re-enter the building until the principal determines it appropriate.If it has been determined the building is unsafe for classes to return to the building, classes will be directed to other designated areas.The classroom teacher will remain with the class until all students are picked up or the building is declared safe.

Communication

Communication between school and home is important to the smooth running of an educational institution and to the cooperative partnership parents and educators have in the education of children.

All grade levels are required to have Parent-Teacher conferences at the close of the first marking period.At the end of the other marking periods, conferences are optional and can be requested by either parent or teacher.

Teachers are not free to talk with parents during class time.Parents are requested not to call teachers or other staff at their homes.If a parent wishes to contact a teacher, call the office and a message will be left with the teacher to call back.Classroom problems should first be discussed with the teacher. Only after this has been done should a parent request an appointment with the Principal.

Phone messages to the students from their parents during school time should be limited to emergencies.Students will not be allowed to call home for forgotten items.Items that are brought by parents during school hours should be left in the office.Classes are not to be interrupted.

Notes from Home

A student requiring early dismissal for an appointment, etc. must present prior written parental approval to the classroom/homeroom teacher to be signed.At the appropriate dismissal time, the student will go to the office carrying this note to be presented to the Secretary or Principal, and must be signed out by his/her parent.

Any student staying for extra activities right after school or going home in a manner differing from the usual routine must have a dated note from a parent explaining the activity and how the student is getting home.

If a student would like to give party invitations to certain class members, the invitations are to be mailed to those individuals.Invitations are not to be handed out in school.

Only school personnel and the parents/guardians of the student will have access to the student's records.Release to non-school personnel will require written permission of the parents/guardians or a court subpoena.

Disciplinary Measures

Each student is responsible for his/her actions and is expected to control his/her behavior so that learning can take place.All students have a right to learn in a safe environment, an environment free from physical or verbal harassment.

All classrooms have expectations and consequences that students will follow.All discipline will first be handled by the respective classroom teacher(s) before the Principal is involved.

Detention

Detention is held after school hours for Grades K-8.Parents will be given notice the day before the detention is to be served.Causes for detention are, but not limited to:

-A continuous attitude of disrespect-Disruptive behavior

-Refusal to obey reasonable school rules-Foul language/ obscene gestures

-Cheating-Failure to do homework

-Receiving 3 zeroes for no homework-Gum chewing

-Repeatedly out of uniform-Forgery

-Spitting

Note:When a student has received three (3) detentions (for any reason), the next infraction will result in one (1) day of?in school? suspension.

Suspension

Continual, willful disobedience or open and persistent defiance of proper authority and/or conduct which is harmful to the welfare, safety or morals of the student body or to the atmosphere compatible with the goals of the school will be cause for suspension or expulsion.Some examples of this kind of conduct are, but not limited to:

--Fighting--Truancy or leaving school grounds without permission

--Extortion--Sexual harassment

--Physical threatening, harassment and/or abuse of student or staff

--The willful defacing/destruction of school or another person?s property

The Principal suspends a student after consultation with the parents/guardians.

Suspension means that a student is excluded from classes for a given period of time.It may be "in school" or "out of school" suspension.During this period, the student is expected to be "in school" under supervision of school personnel or at home under the supervision of parents.Suspension automatically excludes a student from any and all extracurricular activities (i.e. sports, clubs, trips, dances, and special activities sponsored by the Home & School Association) for seven (7) school days starting the day suspension is being served.

The suspended student must get the missed class work by staying after school the day he/she returns to school.All make-up assignments must be completed and turned in to teachers the next school day.

Note:If, after the student has been suspended two (2) times,he/she commits an infraction to warrant an additional detention or suspension, the student will be expelled from St. James School.

Expulsion

Expulsion from school is invoked for the most serious infraction of school policy and shall be within the jurisdiction of the principal, in consultation with the pastor.Parents/guardians will be required to meet with all parties involved before the diocesan superintendent is informed of the decision.A student leaving under the terms of expulsion will not have his/her tuition payment refunded.

Search

It is the right and responsibility of the administration at any time to conduct a search of a student's desk, locker or personal belongings if there is reasonable cause for such a search.
