A WORD TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

Education is a cooperative enterprise between the student, parents or guardians, and the teachers of Stoutland Schools. The primary function of the student during the school year must be concentrated effort on schoolwork.

It is in the best interest of the student that any activities which would interfere with the student’s completion of assignments and maintaining good attendance, should be curtailed or minimized. Maximum time must be made available for studies if your student is to gain the most benefit from the education offered at Stoutland Schools.

Our sole purpose as educators and administrators is to make available to students, a variety of educational courses and training to assist them in achieving the goals they have set for themselves. The success of this effort depends a great deal on the cooperation of the parents or guardians.

We ask that parents and guardians assist us in this goal by complying with the following guidelines:

1. Be sure your child follows school attendance policies.

2. Encourage homework and provide time for study.

3. Visit the school and discuss student problems with the faculty or administration.

4. Read carefully the information contained in this handbook.

STOUTLAND R-II SCHOOLS

TITLE 1 SCHOOL-PARENT COMPACT

The parents, entire school staff, and students of the Stoutland R-II School District share the responsibility for improving student achievement. We believe that the means for children achieving the State’s high standards will come only through the development of a partnership between parents-staff-students.

The school’s responsibilities are

To provide high quality curriculum

To provide high quality instruction

To provide a supportive and effective learning environment

The parent’s responsibilities are

To monitor their children’s school attendance

To monitor their children’s schoolwork/homework completion

To monitor their children’s quality study time

To be sure their child is getting proper nutritious meals and adequate

sleep.

To participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of

their children and positive use of extracurricular time.

Furthermore, communication of an on-going nature between teachers and parents is imperative. It is the school’s responsibility to provide parent-teacher conferences, at least annually, during which the compact will be discussed in relation to the child’s achievement, to provide frequent reports to parents on the progress of their children, to provide reasonable access to staff, and opportunities to volunteer, participate, and observe in the children’s classrooms. It is the parents’ responsibility to attend the parent-teacher conferences, to study and respond to the progress reports, to communicate with the staff, and to take the time to volunteer, participate, and/or observe in the children’s classrooms.

Parent-School Compact

A group of parents of Title 1 students and school faculty met to jointly develop the Stoutland R-II School-Parent Compact during the spring of 1995. The School-Parent Compact’s purpose is to communicate the responsibilities of the school and the responsibilities of the parents for improving student achievement. Each year at the Spring Planning Meeting the Compact is brought forth to those in attendance for review/revision. The School-Parent Compact meets all outlined requirements.

Title I Parent-Involvement Plan

Communication

The school will offer a variety of meeting opportunities for Title 1 parents during each school year: Orientation night, Parent Conferences in November, Spring Planning Meeting, Home Visits, and Group meetings. Transportation and

(Page 6 in Student Handbook)

childcare will be available when necessary. Information offered at these meetings will include the schools participation in Title 1, Title 1 requirements, parent’s

rights to be involved, planning, review, improvement of programs (to include policy and plan review), and the development of a school wide plan for the elementary. At these meetings parents will be offered an opportunity to formulate suggestions, share experiences with other parents, and participate in decisions relating to the education of their children.

Parents will receive information in a timely manner regarding: Title 1 programs, the school’s performance profile results, their child’s individual assessment results, explanation of the curriculum in use at school, forms of assessment used to measure student progress, the proficiency levels students are expected to meet.

Timely responses will be made to parent suggestions offered in meetings.

Building Capacity for Involvement at the School Level

Through collaborative efforts the school will coordinate and integrate parental involvement strategies with other programs such as Head Start, Parents As Teachers, PTSO, and Missouri Ozarks Community Action (MOCA). This collaboration will provide parents with more assistance in understanding how to monitor a child’s progress, how to work with teachers to improve the child’s performance, how to participate in decisions relating to the education of their child. Interested parents will be given information on literacy training and materials. Parents will be provided assistance in understanding current provisions and requirements of state and federal educational policies upon request. All school personnel will be assisted in learning to value parent contributions, communicating and working with parents as equal partners, coordinating and implementing parent programs, and building ties between home and school. We will continue to reach out to organizations, agencies, and businesses that could have a role in parent involvement activities, such as Head Start, PTSO, MOCA, and the county libraries. We will continue to develop our parent library so parents will have an opportunity to learn about child development and child rearing issues. Should we have a change in our population we will be careful to make sure that all school information regarding programs, meetings, and activities is sent home in the family’s primary language. We will provide requested reasonable support for Title 1 parental involvement activities.

Standard Complaint Resolution Procedure

For No Child Left Behind Program

This complaint resolution procedure applies to all programs administered by the Missouri Department of Elementary Education under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).

A complaint is a formal allegation that a specific federal or state law or regulation has been violated, misapplied, or misinterpreted by school district personnel or by Department of Education personnel.

Any parent or guardian, surrogate parent, teacher, administrator, school board member, or other person directly involved with an activity, program, or project operated under the general supervision of the Department may file a complaint. Such a complaint must be in writing and signed; it will provide specific details of the situation and indicate the law or regulation that is allegedly being violated, misapplied, or misinterpreted.

The written, signed complaint must be filed and the resolution pursued in accordance with local district policy: Policy 1480: School/Community Relations, Public Complaints:

(Page 9 in Student Handbook)

Although no member of the community shall be denied the right to

petition the Board of Education for redress of a grievance, the complaints

will be referred through proper administrative channels for solution

before investigation or action by the Board. Exceptions are complaints that concern Board actions or Board operations only.

The Board advised the public that the proper channeling of complaints involving federal programs, instruction, discipline, or learning materials is as follows:

1. Teacher

2. Principal

3. Appropriate Central Office Administrator, e.g., Director of Special Education/Federal Programs

4. Superintendent

5. Board of Education

Any complaint about school personnel will be investigated by the Administration before consideration and action by the Board.

If the issue cannot be resolved at the local level, the complainant may file a complaint with the Missouri Department of Education. If there is no evidence that the parties have attempted in good faith to resolve the complaint at the local level, the Department may require the parties to do so and may provide technical assistance to facilitate such resolution.

Any persons directly affected by the actions of the Department may file a similarly written complaint if they believe state or federal laws or regulations have been violated, misapplied, or misinterpreted by the Department itself.

Anyone wishing more information about this procedure or how complaints are resolved may contact local district or Department personnel.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

(FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. $ 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. This law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

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. Students to whom the rights have transferred are “eligible students.”

· Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student’s education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

(Page 10 in Student Handbook)

· Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parents or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

· Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR $ 99.31):

School officials with legitimate educational interest;

Other schools to which a student is transferring;

Specified official for audit or evaluation purposes;

Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;

Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;

Accrediting organizations;

To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;

Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and

State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.

Schools may disclose, without consent, “directory” information such as a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them.

Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under

FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of the school.

ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PLAN

Each year the District is required by law to notify parents, staff and outside contractors that asbestos exists in the District buildings. A careful survey of our buildings confirms that the asbestos present poses no health threat at this time.

Located in the district office is a manual that pinpoints the location of asbestos in the building. In July 2005 Stoutland R-II Schools conducted a complete inspection of its facilities, utilizing the services of Mead Environmental Associates Inc. The results of this inspection have been included in a management plan. This management plan is available in the superintendent’s office, without cost or restriction, for inspection by representatives of the EPA and the state, the public including teachers, other school personnel and their representatives and parents. The Stoutland R-II Schools may charge a reasonable cost to make copies of management plans.

Periodic inspections are required every six months and were conducted on July 8, 2005. A re-inspection is also required every three years and was also done on July 8, 2005.

If you have any questions regarding this notice, contact the Superintendent’s office of the office of the Director of Building Services.

ACCEPTABLE ACTIVITY PRACTICES

Class and club parties and extracurricular activities, may be scheduled before or after school hours but must be supervised by sponsors. Permission for the use of class time for preparation for activities, must be requested by the sponsor from the Principal, well in advance. Students may not leave the school grounds during class time for any reason in connection with a club or class activity without permission of the High School Principal. Requests will be discussed with sponsor to determine necessity for student departure from school.

Trips during the school year must have proven educational value and must be arranged well in advance of the anticipated date, with the High School Principal. If possible, teachers would like at least one-week notice of an extra curricular event where students are missing class time. This will allow for proper planning

concerning missed class time and homework.

ATTENDANCE

Attendance at school is an important habit to cultivate. Each day missed is an opportunity missed to interact with other students and teachers to formulate skills in group relations. Although written assignments can be made up, any class discussions missed are lost and the benefits of such discussion lost with it.

It is here at school that you will establish those attendance habits which you will

carry with you always. Often, future employers call the school to inquire about individuals attendance habits. The impact of poor attendance is not only felt in school but also after graduation.

Another important factor, which must be considered, is the economic impact student attendance has on our total school budget. The district recovers money

based on average daily attendance. Poor attendance by students will deprive them of their fair share of money.

(Page 12 in Student Handbook)

With these important facts in mind, Stoutland Schools has an attendance policy which has been well received by parents and students in the past. It allows the parent to determine when and for how many days their son/daughter is absent up to a maximum amount. Students in grades 7 through 12 may miss a maximum of eight (8) days per semester before being penalized with loss of credit. Further, students and parents should also realize that no more than 4 days of one color day (in any or all classes) will be allowed before loss of credit occurs. If a student is absent more than 15 minutes during a block it will count as an absence for that block unless a certified employee has detained that student. If a student misses one period or all day, the parent or guardian should make an attempt to notify the school by phone or in writing about their son/daughter/s absence. This will alert the school that (the parent or guardian) was aware of their absence from school. However, the school will make and attempt to contact the parent/guardian at home or work by telephone., whenever your son/daughter is absent from school. Thus, communication between the school and parent or guardian is carried out f or the benefit and well being of the student. This system of communication will also help curb the tendencies of some students to skip school undetected by you the

parent or guardian. Occasionally there may be justified reasons for absence from school such as family problems, health problems, personal problems, family business, special trips, etc. In such cases the student and parent/guardian should communicate with principal prior to missing for approval to clear potential attendance problems.

In cases where students are exceeding or getting close to exceeding the allowable number of days missed, a five member teacher attendance committee will intervene on a quarterly basis to review those student’s attendance records and make recommendations to the principal on their status and how to improve or correct those attendance problems. Excessive absenteeism may possibly be corrected by attending before and/or after school programs or going to summer school according to school board policy.

Students may appeal loss of credit status to the teacher attendance committee. This committee will consist of a five member teacher committee to hear cases where students have exceeded their maximum number of days to determine if these days missed were warranted or abuse of the attendance policy has resulted. Excuses such as sickness, personal problems, family problems, etc. will be heard. After a case has been heard, the five member teacher committee will vote to determine the outcome of loss of credit. If a student wishes he/she may appeal the committee’s decision to the principal for review. Finally if an agreement cannot be reached then the last appeal would be made to the Stoutland Board of Education for review. A meeting should be requested through the Superintendent’s office with the school board at a monthly or special meeting of the school board.

AWARDS

President’s Award for Educational Excellence is presented to eligible students exiting grade 12. To be eligible for the award, students must have a 3.5 GPA (B+) plus score 85 percentile in Math or Reading on a nationally standardized achievement test. If the student does not have a score of 85 or better on a nationally standardized achievement test they may be eligible with a 3.5 or above

(Page 13 in Student Handbook)

GPA and the recommendation of a core area teacher (Math, Science, Social Studies or Communication Arts).

The George Washington Carver Award is presented to those students in the top 10 percentile of Grade 12. The award is given by the Governor of Missouri and the Missouri State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

College Preparatory Studies Certificate is available for Seniors who achieve a score above the National average on the ACT, have a GPA of 3.0 or above, and

(See Counselor for specific requirements)

College Entrance requirements are changing and it is recommended that student’s plan ahead carefully to meet these requirements.

BUS AND STUDENT TRANSPORTATION

Bus Operators are appointed by the Stoutland R-II School District to provide safe and convenient transportation for students to and from school and for special

occasion’s trips. Bus Operators will not transport students whose conduct jeopardizes other’s safety and comfort. Operators are directed to insist on strict compliance of bus regulations. Operators will refer all discipline problems, which they cannot resolve, to the Principal. Students who conduct themselves in an

unacceptable manner will be denied further bus transportation until the parents of the student provides satisfactory assurance that such conduct will not recur.

Operators are in charge of all students being transported on their bus. Students are required to obey the instructions of the operator. Conversation between

students is permitted unless the noise level becomes distracting to the operator.

Students will be picked up and returned only to their home unless special permission is granted by the School Administration. Students must be on time for bus pickup. The bus will not wait. When extreme or inclement weather presents a potential health hazard by prolong exposure, the operator may sound his horn to alert students who are waiting inside their homes.

When appropriate, Bus Operators will issue a Notice of Conduct Violations to the student involved. The Notice will be maintained on file in the Administrative

Office. Additional copies will be sent to the parent of the student involved and the bus operator will retain a copy. Upon receipt of the Notice, the Principal will discuss the violation with the bus operator and then resolve the matter with the student involved. As deemed appropriate, the High School Principal will administer corrective disciplinary measures to correct the student’s behavior.

The following disciplinary steps will generally be used, however the principal may modify when appropriate.:

FIRST NOTICE: Probation for a period determined appropriate by

the seriousness of the offense.

SECOND NOTICE: One week suspension of bus privilege.

THIRD NOTICE: Two-week suspension of privilege.

FOURTH NOTICE: Suspension of bus privilege for remainder of

school year.

(Page 14 in Student Handbook)

Regardless of the number of violations, if a student’s behavior directly affects the safety and well being of the other passengers or jeopardizes the safe operation of the bus, the Principal may immediately suspend that student’s bus privileges for a period deemed appropriate by the Principal.

The following rules are for your safety and well being.

1. Do not stand on the roadway while waiting or talk to the driver,

except in emergencies.

2. Do not use tobacco or illegal substance in any form on the bus or leave your seat while the bus is in motion.

3. Do not damage any portion of the bus and report any damage you

observe to the Operator.

4. Do not leave debris on the bus. Take your trash with you.

5. When preparing to enter or exit the bus, cross only in front of the bus- never behind it! State Law requires that you pass a minimum of 10 feet in front of the bus to allow the bus driver a clear view of your

position.

6. In general the rules that apply at school also apply on the school bus. Rough housing or fighting (verbal or physical) will not be tolerated.

7. The driver is to be respected as the authority figure on the bus. The

driver has the responsibility to enforce school rules in a way that establishes a safe orderly environment for students being transported between home and school.

CHEMICAL ABUSE REHABILITATION EDUCATION (C.A.R.E.)

Policy:

The possession, sale, transfer, or use of alcohol or other legal and illegal drugs and paraphernalia, while on school premises or at a school related function, is prohibited.

Students are expected to report to school in a chemical-free condition. This policy includes all forms of alcoholic beverages, narcotics, and any chemical substance, prescribed or illegal which impairs the student’s ability to perform in the academic setting. Students taking doctor prescribed drugs at school shall communicate with the school nurse about leaving medication with the nurse during the school day.

Stoutland Schools will give consideration to students with chemical dependency

problems who are actively seeking assistance from an agency that has been approved by the School’s C.A.R.E. Team. Seeking assistance for such a problem will not jeopardize a student’s continued education; whereas ongoing decreased performance, attendance, or behavioral problems caused by chemical use may do so.

DISCIPLINARY GUIDELINES

I. Possession, Use, Transmission, Sharing or Under the Influence:

First Offense

1. The student, shall be suspended for 90 school days in compliance with the Student Due Process Procedures. Such suspension may begin immediately or may be modified pending the results of Steps 2 through 5 listed herein.

2. The Principal or designate will notify parent(s) or guardian(s) in

writing and/or verbally to explain the incident and arrange

a conference.

(Page 15 in Student Handbook)

3. The Principal or designate will notify the appropriate personnel in

the school. If the student and or parent agrees to a professional

evaluation, suspension will be limited to those days which the

student served prior to the beginning of evaluation. A student, who

undergoes evaluation and complies with evaluation

recommendations will be allowed to make up his/her work for time

missed during the suspension. If the parent(s) or guardian fail to

arrange a conference or refuse a professional evaluation the 90-day

suspension will be enforced.

If the student and or parent agrees to the professional

evaluation, the following should occur prior to the evaluation:

A. Check disciplinary record for prior indication of problems

involving chemicals or otherwise.

B. Distribute Behavior Observations Sheet to appropriate

teachers and compile a composite.

C. Confer with a parent or guardian and the student regarding

incident and findings. Make recommendations and

establish expectations/consequences.

D. Provide this information to referral agency.

4. The Principal or designated individual will contact law enforcement

officials when appropriate.

5. If a professional evaluation is agreed to, the contacted agency or

office will notify the school principal that the client has made contact

and is willing to comply with the appropriate process. If the student

is assessed as being in need of treatment, and treatment is agreed to

and is completed, the 90-day suspension may be waived or reduced

by school authority.

6. If the professional evaluation determines that the student is not

chemically dependent, the individual may attend a School C.A.R.E.

Team approved Drug Education Program. Successful completion of

the program will be accepted in lieu of suspension.

Second Offense

The Principal may refer this case to the C.A.R.E. Team for review. Should the C.A.R.E. Team feel that further evaluation or treatment would be beneficial, the student’s discipline will be handled according to the First Offense guidelines. However, should it be deemed necessary by the School Administration, the Superintendent will Suspend the student for a period of 90 days, in compliance with the Student Due Process Procedures. The Principal or designate will contact law enforcement officials if deemed necessary.

Third Offense

The school administration will recommend to the Board of Education that the student must be Expelled in compliance with Student Due Process Procedures. The Principal or designate will contact law enforcement officials if deemed necessary.

II. Supplying/Sales of Mood Altering Chemicals (Alcohol/Drugs)

Supplying or selling of chemicals will result in a recommendation by the School Administrator to the Board of Education for Expulsion of the student in compliance with the Student Due Process Procedures. The Principal or designate

will contact law enforcement officials if deemed appropriate.

(Page 16 in Student Handbook)

III. General Student Information

The use of chemicals by any person, particularly, students, is a dangerous act. It has been medically proven that chemicals can have a permanently devastating affect on a person’s health, both mentally, emotionally, and physically as well as the adverse affect on friends and relatives.

The staff, faculty and administration, as well as members of the Board of Education strongly urge all students to refrain from the use of any chemicals. the danger is too great. It is the intent of Stoutland Schools to assist any person who is afflicted with a chemical dependency and who is receptive to such assistance. If you are chemically dependent or know of someone in the school who is, do yourself and the student a favor and bring it to the attention of a teacher or other school official.

For additional information on the School C.A.R.E. Team, contact the school counselor.
