Blue Ridge School District Mission Statement The mission of Blue Ridge School District is to provide an excellent, current, and applicable education built on mutual respect and a commitment to graduating students who are college, career or trade ready.

Vision Statement: Blue Ridge MS/HS Our vision is to continue to build a passion for learning and a desire for future success. The secondary program will facilitate student learning to develop academic potential, achieve personal success and become responsible and productive citizens. Partnerships across staff and the community will refine primary learning. All students will develop the ability to think critically, logically, creatively and to effectively communicate. The Blue Ridge MS/HS staff will work collaboratively to ensure student success by placing the highest priority on supporting consistent high achievement on college, career and trade readiness indicators and State Assessments. Our program will be rigorous, robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success after graduation.

ACCEPTABLE USE OF THE INTERNET (BRSD Policy #815) Students will be required to sign the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and adhere to all regulations prior to accessing school networks with any device. ACCESS TO STUDENT INFORMATION—Directory Information Information that is Considered "Directory Information” (BRSD Policies #216,250) FERPA protects the privacy of personally identifiable student information contained in educational records. Under FERPA school divisions may designate certain information as "directory information" that may be provided to the public, Military Recruiters or Colleges and Universities because it is not generally considered to be harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Blue Ridge School District designates the following kinds of student information as directory information:  Full name and address of student in attendance or no longer in attendance  Enrollment status  Dates of attendance  Grade level  Telephone number(s) given to the school  Date and place of birth  Electronic mail address  Participation in officially recognized activities and sports  Weight and height if a member of an athletic team  Degrees, awards, and honors received

Information found in the school yearbook and school newspaper, such as student photos, parents (or students themselves, if at least 18 years old) have the right to refuse the public release of any or all of the above directory information. If you do not wish BRSD to disclose any or all of the above information about your child, please contact your principal by no later than October 22 nd.You will need to specify in writing which kinds of information listed above should not be disclosed about your child. Testing protocols used to formulate special education evaluation reports will be destroyed one year after the special education eligibility meeting. With sufficient proof of identity, eligible students or parents have a right to be provided a copy of any records being destroyed. If copies are desired, please contact your high school.

ADDRESS CHANGE Inform the office if you have a change of address, contact information, phone number, and/or name. This will assist the school in addressing mailings and in case of an emergency. All school documents must have the student’s name as it appears on the student’s birth certificate or court ordered document.

ATHLETICS ATHLETIC/ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY Athletes are subject to academic eligibility requirements. Students must maintain an overall GPA of 77 and may be failing no more than one core class. Grades are reported weekly and are cumulative from the beginning of a grade period. Blue Ridge adheres to the PIAA regulations regarding eligibility. These regulations are found in the PIAA Handbook, Article IX, Sections 1-5.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STUDENT PARTICIPATING IN INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES/ATHLETICS Interscholastic activities are considered to be an integral part of the total educational process. Participation is voluntary and a privilege. Each student athlete is given a Student Athlete Handbook, which lists guidelines for participation in interscholastic sports. The Student Code of Conduct in this handbook also lists expectations for student athletes. If you have any additional questions please call the Athletic Director at 4653141 x 626

ATHLETIC INSURANCE Members of all interscholastic teams are covered by school insurance. Like any insurance policy it may have certain limitations and exclusions. Parents/guardians are encouraged to obtain a copy of the policy from the Athletic Director.

AFTER SCHOOL Students are not to remain at school after dismissal time unless they are participating in a school approved and supervised activity. Students who do remain after school dismissal must be at the activity. Students violating this restriction will be treated as a Level II offense, namely, trespassing – being in an unauthorized area without permission.

ACTIVITY BUS  

   

After School: The activity bus provides transportation for students who stay after school hours for school activities. The bus leaves at approximately 5:15 PM. School Sponsored Events: The school will provide bus transportation to most school-sponsored events, when warranted by the particular activity. Students who are participating in a schoolsponsored activity must ride the bus to and from the event. A student will not be allowed to ride with anyone other than a parent/guardian from a school activity. A parent/guardian may take a student home after an event after personally addressing the sponsor/coach. Exceptions must be made in writing, in advance, with the approval of the building principal or the superintendent. The bus driver is in charge of the bus and its occupants during all activity runs. Rules and procedures that are in place for the regular daily bus runs also apply to all activity runs. Coaches, mentors, advisors, and others in charge of a student activity group are to work cooperatively with the students in their group in accordance with the bus conduct and rules policy. Food stops, lunches on the bus, and snacks may be allowed for extended trips and special circumstances. The bus driver and the coach are to coordinate this area, including clean up at the end of the trip. Spiked athletic shoes and other foot attire, which may damage or create cleaning concerns, are not to be worn on the bus.

ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Assembly programs are planned for your educational benefit. Courteous attention will be required at all times and proper respect is to be shown to all performers. Students will have assigned seats. Students may be placed on probation for failure to follow expectations and excluded from certain programs.

ATTENDANCE (BRSD Policy #204) Regular, punctual attendance is a key to success in school. Good attendance is a necessary ingredient in helping you develop and accept the responsibilities and obligations of good citizenship, as well as helping you participate successfully in the world of tomorrow. Success in school is directly proportional to your attendance and effort.

Student attendance is an obligation of the parent/guardian and the juvenile court. The Pennsylvania School Code lists the following reasons for an excused absence from school: 1. Illness 3. Death in the family 2. Quarantine 4. Impassible roads Students under 17 years of age whose absences are marked unexcused are also marked unlawful. If an absence does not fall into one of the above categories (for example, an illness), it is unexcused. All unexcused and unlawful absences will be dealt with according to Pennsylvania School Attendance Laws. ATTENDANCE POLICY PERIOD ATTENDANCE TRACKING Student attendance is tracked on a period by period basis. Individual class period absences are cumulative and contribute to the student’s daily attendance totals. Examples: Eight absent periods from school will equal one school day. Students who miss only one period for an appointment or other legally excusable reason are only charged with an absence for that period. PARENTS/GUARDIANS WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN A STUDENT REACHES HIS/HER 10TH ABSENCE. A letter will be sent to the parent/guardian regarding the district’s attendance policy. The student may also be called for a conference and a “Truancy Elimination Plan” established. EXCUSES FOR ABSENCES Students are not counted as absent if they are on authorized school activities, such as field trips, sporting events, or other school approved activities. No excuses will be required in these instances. Any other day of absence from school must be accompanied by and accounted for with a written excuse. WRITTEN EXCUSES should contain date(s) and reason(s) for the absence and the signature of a parent/guardian, to be considered valid. The administration reserves the right to challenge or question the authenticity of either the absence or the signature. Examples of illegal absences include (but not limited to) missing the bus, car trouble (transportation is provided by the district), shopping, baby-sitting, visiting relatives, hunting, fishing, skiing, personal business, employment, working at home, remaining at home to do school work the 11th and thereafter absences not accompanied by a medical excuse, cutting class/school, and arriving late/leaving early without a legal excuse. An illegal absence may also be one where, upon a student’s arrival at school after his/her latest absence, a note from parent or guardian or doctor is not returned to the attendance office within 3 days of the students return to school. If excuses are not received within the 3 days of return, the unexcused absence will be permanent.

ILLEGAL/UNEXCUSED ABSENCES 1st Offense 2nd Offense 3rd Offense 4th Offense and subsequent

Assignments/Tests cannot be made up. Written notification. Assignments/Tests cannot be made up. After school detention. Written notification. Truancy Elimination Plan mtg. (TEP) with parents. Written notification. Citation and referral to the magistrate and Children and Youth.

ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL It is important that students bring a doctor/dentist excuse for any appointment, which causes them to miss school. When a student reaches their 10th absence from school they will be placed on the “Doctor’s Excuse Required List.” This means that any absence not excused by a health professional may be counted as unexcused (see “Penalty for Unexcused Absence”). Parent written excuses will not be accepted for students on this list. Exceptions must have prior arrangement with the administration. Excused absences do not include working at home or absences for parent or pupil convenience, such as pleasure trips. Hunting is not a legal excuse for absence. Students under 17 years of age whose absences are marked unexcused are also marked unlawful. If an absence does not fall into one of the above categories (illness, etc.), it is probably unexcused. Unexcused and unlawful absences will be dealt with according to Pennsylvania School Attendance laws.

**Additional Attendance Requirements related to Athletics and Extracurricular Activities can be found in the Student Code of Conduct Section of this Handbook.

ARRIVING LATE TO SCHOOL Students must report to the attendance office in the High School when arriving to school after 8:07 AM. If the student is late to 1st period attendance, the student is considered late for school. The student must bring a note signed by the parent/guardian stating the reason for the lateness. Please contact the attendance secretary with any questions (570) 465-3141 X 601.

EDUCATIONAL TRIP POLICY (BRSD Policy #204) Requests for trips must be pre-approved by the building principal and superintendent of schools. The request should be made at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled trip. Approval for educational trips will be contingent upon the student’s prior absentee and academic achievement records. Educational trips are officially discouraged during the last two weeks of school. These trips are not to exceed 5 school days during any given year. Any days beyond 5 will be considered unexcused/unlawful absences. Work given by teachers or requested by the student prior to the trip is due upon return. Work that is not completed will receive a grade of “0”.

LEAVING SCHOOL No student may leave school without the permission of an administrator, the school nurse, or unless they have an approved request from the parent/guardian. Students with permission to leave school must check out in the attendance office. A student requesting to leave school for an appointment (i.e., doctor or dentist) should bring a note, signed by a parent/guardian, to the attendance office as soon as they arrive at school. The note should indicate the date, the student’s name, the reason for leaving school, and the time they need to leave. The student can leave class at the designated time to sign out in the high school attendance office, where the parent should come to pick him/her up. Students should not be picked up by parents without a valid excuse. Leaving school without following this procedure will be considered an unexcused absence. Teachers are not authorized to permit students to leave school.

College Visits – Juniors and seniors who wish to visit a college, technical school, or make preparations for military service during school time may do so under the following conditions: 1. Two visitation days are given to juniors and two days are allotted to seniors. 2. A permission form must be obtained, signed, and approved prior to students using a visitation day. 3. Proof of visit must be submitted to the attendance office prior to first period upon the student’s return to school. Forms are available in the counseling office and must be returned to the counseling office prior to using a visitation day.

Driver License Test – Students will be allowed time during the school day to take their driving test with parent permission. The student must report to school prior to the test and must return to school with the driver test form (signed by the testing center) on the day of the test. Any deviation to this must be approved by the principal.

Make Up Work - The student shall have the opportunity to make up work missed during an excused absence. Teachers will provide make-up assignments when requested. The responsibility for completing make-up work rests with the student. Students must contact their teachers upon returning to school to make arrangements for making up academic work. Students are responsible for completing this work according to the due dates assigned. Parents are encouraged to request work if they are aware of an illness that may keep their child out of school for an extended period of time.

Skipping Class - Students who fail to attend their assigned class or fail to receive permission from their classroom teacher to attend meetings or to participate in other school activities will be considered skipping (cutting) class. If a student skips class to avoid tardy, he/she will receive the penalty for the cutting of class.

NOTIFICATION OF PARENTS When a student is absent, and a telephone call or note has not been received, the parent/guardian may be contacted by the school either at work or home.

PENALTY FOR UNEXCUSED ABSENCE If under 17, an unexcused absence is also an unlawful absence. In addition to the consequences listed in the student code of conduct, three or more unlawful absences can lead to legal proceedings against the parent/guardian, which can end in a fine of up to $300.00 per day, loss of driving privileges and/or student work permits.

PERFECT ATTENDANCE Perfect attendance will be awarded to students who meet the following criteria: Students who have been present each school day, for each instructional period or students whose cumulative absence total is < 1.

WITHDRAWALS Parents are requested to come into school and sign a release form for school records when students are going to withdraw. The student should report to the office and obtain a “Withdrawal Notice.” Books are returned on the last day in class and signed for by each teacher. Return the “Withdrawal Notice” to the office before leaving. All fines and bills must be paid.

BUS CONDUCT AND RULES (BRSD Policies #218/210) SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION IS A PRIVILEGE. Should it happen that a student threatens the safety of their fellow students, destroys or defaces property, or defies the authority of the driver, then the privilege can be withheld. The bus driver carries a great burden of responsibility, and he/she is in complete charge of the bus and its occupants. Students must obey the bus driver. Proper conduct at the bus stop and on the bus is extremely important because students who misbehave are jeopardizing their own safety as well as that of others. Safety of our students is of vital importance. Maintaining discipline is a community affair, as it requires the cooperation of students, parents, guardians, school officials, and bus drivers. For the above reasons the following guidelines have been established: At Bus Stops         On the Bus 

In addition:            

Stay a safe distance from the road’s edge Wait your turn to board the bus Stay clear of the bus until it stops Do not cross the road until bus stops Always cross at least 10 feet in front of bus (so you are visible to the driver) Do not engage in physical activities/games Stay off private property (unless given permission to be there) Be on time when the bus arrives According to State Code:  Students must be seated before the bus moves  Students must remain seated at all times  Students may have assigned seats Listen to the driver at all times Use proper language and keep voices at a low level Refrain from fighting or horse play Keep objects from becoming airborne Keep all parts of the body inside the bus Do not smoke or use flammable materials Refrain from eating or drinking Display good manners and consideration for fellow students and the drivers Do not litter the bus or throw materials from the bus Abstain from acts of vandalism Do not take other people’s possessions Refrain from annoying behavior directed toward pedestrians or passengers in other vehicles

All drivers have been instructed to report violations to the Principal or Transportation Director.  On the first offense the bus driver will instruct the student on the proper behavior required on the bus. Documentation in writing will be sent to the Principal. This will be an official warning. The building Principal will meet with the student and parents will receive a written notification.  On the second offense students will serve a detention. The Principal will meet with the student, and parents will receive a written notification.  On the third offense, students will lose bus privileges for at least one day – more days at the discretion of the administration depending upon the infraction. The Principal will meet with the student and parents will receive a written notification.  On the fourth and additional offense level, students will lose bus privileges for at least three days – more at the discretion of the administration depending upon the infraction. Loss of bus riding privileges may be for the balance of the school year. The Principal will meet with the student and parents will receive a written notification. The following procedure shall be followed when it is necessary to suspend bus privileges for a student:

8

    

Parents/Guardians will be notified by the building principal both by telephone and in writing of the suspension and the offense. The bus will take the student home should the infraction occur on the way to school The bus will take the student to the school in the morning if the infraction occurred on the way home the previous afternoon Loss of the daily bus riding privilege will also include the after school run of the activity bus. The loss of the regular to and from school bus riding privilege will not normally affect the athletic, field trip, or other bus riding privileges, unless so determined by the building principal The building Principal will determine the days for the suspension of the bus riding privilege

It is understood that in the event of a flagrant and/or serious act, even though it may be a first offense, it can result in immediate or permanent suspension of bus privileges. The nature of the incident, a record of any prior incidents, the student’s as well as the parent/guardian’s attitude, all have bearing on the length of the suspension. When bus privileges have been suspended, it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to arrange transportation. Students who are absent due to bus suspension may be marked either unexcused or unlawful depending on their age.

BUS PASSES (BRSD polices 810, 810.2, 810.3) Students are always expected to ride their assigned bus. Should a student need to ride a different bus or get off at a different stop, he/she must bring a note to the office upon arrival at school. The note must be signed by the parent/guardian. This is for emergencies only. The district can no longer provide transportation to special events (ex: boy scouts, girl scouts, youth sports programs, etc) that require a change of bus. Parents will be responsible for those arrangements.

BUS SECURITY (BRSD Policy 810.3) The use of video and audio recording equipment supports efforts to maintain discipline and to ensure the safety and security of all students, staff, contractors and others being transported on district- owned, operated or contracted school buses or school vehicles.

CAFETERIA (BRSD Policy #808) Breakfast is provided as a courtesy to students who were unable to eat a healthy breakfast prior to the start of the school day. This service is a privilege extended to all students under the condition that they arrive to school early enough to eat and report to their first period class on time. Students who arrive to school late without a legal excuse are not permitted to purchase breakfast. Breakfast must be eaten in designated areas only. Lunch is offered daily to all students, although you may bring your own lunch if you like. State guidelines no longer allow students to bring soda and other high calorie/caffeinated beverages, with low nutritional value to school. These items will not be permitted in the cafeteria, hallways or classrooms. All students eat in the cafeteria and proper behavior is expected. The cafeteria should be treated the same as a restaurant setting. It is a time to socialize and practice good manners. The following procedures will be observed:  Students are not to linger in the halls, classrooms, or restrooms, but are to report immediately to the cafeteria  File quietly in to the cafeteria and be seated at tables  Wait to be called for the serving line by cafeteria supervisors  Remain at your table except for returning trays, disposing of garbage, and buying ice cream  Request permission to leave the cafeteria from the monitor who will give the student a pass  Wait to be dismissed by tables to return to class. To avoid congestion in the halls, grades will be dismissed at different times Free and Reduced Lunch The Blue Ridge School Cafeteria participates in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program. Information regarding eligibility and enrollment can be obtained through your child’s building office and at the time of enrollment.

CALENDAR INFORMATION Up to date calendar information can be found on the district website: www.brsd.org. Parents/Students should check the calendar regularly as information is updated due to snow days and other unforeseen events.

9

CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS (BRSD Policy #122) Students are encouraged to become involved with clubs and activities. A student’s opportunity to participate in school sponsored activities is a privilege. Students who join Blue Ridge clubs or other activities during or beyond the normal school day must be willing to abide by all school rules and other guidelines. Students who are absent from school are not allowed to participate in clubs, activities or practices occurring after school without the principal’s permission. Each club is encouraged to have stated goals that identify integration towards attainment of the district’s educational objectives. The principal will ensure that facilities, supplies and equipment are available to club and organization advisers. Current student clubs will be posted on the MS/HS website.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY/JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY The selection process begins after the 2nd quarter is completed each year. GPA’s are calculated at this time and candidates are notified of their eligibility via a letter from the guidance department. It is the candidate’s responsibility to complete an application and submit it on time in order to be eligible for membership. Eligibility Candidate must be a sophomore, junior, or senior. (7th – 9th NJHS) Candidates must have been in attendance at the school equivalent of one semester. Candidates must have a cumulative average of (90% NHS or 94% NJHS) in full credit courses. (For NHS this may also include classes from 8th grade). Candidates will then be evaluated on the basis of active community service, ongoing leadership, and honorable character. The selection of each member to the chapter shall be by a majority vote of the Faculty Council. Members must are expected to maintain the standards of the society by which they were selected. This includes maintaining a 90% or better GPA, having unblemished and unquestionable character, provide leadership and to complete community service projects.

CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATIONS Use of a student’s confidential communications to school personnel in legal proceedings is governed by statutes and regulations appropriate to the proceeding. Information received in confidence from a student may only be revealed to the parent/guardian, the principal, or other appropriate authority where the health, welfare, or safety of the student or other person(s) is clearly in jeopardy.

COPY MACHINE USE Students are not authorized to use the photocopy equipment. All staff and students will be required to pay for personal copies.

SCHOOL COUNSELING SERVICES AND CURRICULUM OFFERINGS An abundance of vocation/educational information can be found in the school counseling office. Information on educational programs, scholarships, college finances, scheduling, job opportunities, graduation requirements, and testing, are all examples of services provided by the school counseling office. Schedule an appointment with a school counselor to express your needs and concerns at x650. A Course Selection Handbook is published through the HS school counseling office and is designed to familiarize all students with the programs of study, scheduling procedures, and other guidance services. This guide is distributed in the spring of the school year. The school counseling office will inform students of our procedures for the selection of courses for the upcoming school year. Students must follow these directions closely and submit the appropriate paperwork on time. Course Selection Handbook Information is also available on the High School web page.

DISCRIMINATION/UNLAWFUL HARRASSMENT (BRSD Policies #103/248) Consistent with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, no student shall be denied access to a free and full public education on account of race, religion, sex, national origin, or handicap. Complete information

including reporting procedures and forms can be found at www.brsd.org. Reports can also be made at any time to a Building Principal or the Superintendent.

DISTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE (BRSD Policy #220) All literature (including handouts, posters, fliers, etc.) intended to be distributed to students or to school personnel, or posted in the MS/HS, must be approved in advance by the Principal. A suitable place will be provided and designated for approved items.

DRESS CODE Students are expected to exhibit cleanliness and good taste in personal appearance.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND FIRE DRILLS (BRSD Policy #805) In case of any type of emergency, students must follow the directions of their teachers, the support staff, and the administration. In most cases, the students will be informed over the intercom system of what steps are necessary when faced with unusual circumstances. During times it is necessary to evacuate the building; students will do so according to the established fire drill procedures unless otherwise instructed by their teachers, the administration, or other school personnel. Fire drills are held for the protection of all the school’s population. They are required by the State Department of Labor and Industry. The drills should be learned thoroughly and all directions carried out promptly when the alarm sounds. The fire alarm is different than any other signal in the building and will sound continuously. Neglect to carry out directions may result in injury or death to yourself or others. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that running and pushing are extremely dangerous and prohibited. Students must not stop at fountains, lockers, restrooms, or other rooms on the way out of the building. Signs pointing to the nearest exit are posted in each room and throughout the building. In the event the exit through which you are to pass is unusable when you reach it, proceed to the next closest exit. ALWAYS keep moving but do not push!

ESL PROGRAM (ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (BRSD Policy #138) Blue Ridge School District provides English as a Second Language program services for every student who is limited English proficient (LEP) or an English language learner (ELL). The purpose of the program is to facilitate the student’s achievement of English proficiency and the academic standards. Enrollment and Identification Procedures 1. Students may enroll upon presentation of a local address and proof of immunizations. 2. Identification of students whose dominant language is not English begins with the Home Language Survey which is completed for every student in the district and is filed in the student’s permanent record folder. 3. If any of the questions on the Home Language Survey indicate a language other than English, assessment must be done to determine the need for English as a Second Language instruction. A student’s English language and native language proficiency must be determined for appropriate instructional placement. 4. If it is determined that a student is in need of ESL instruction, an individual ESL program plan will be collaboratively developed by the teacher, parents, ESL coordinator, and administrator.

GIFTED EDUCATION SERVICES (BRSD Policy #114) Blue Ridge School District provides services and programming options that are designed to challenge, interest, and motivate gifted and high ability students while also working to increase the rigor of learning for all students. The gifted resource teacher collaborates with teachers to develop student talent, differentiate

13

instruction, provide resources, and model instructional strategies. The gifted resource teacher also provides opportunities for professional development support for teachers in their work with gifted and high-ability students. Gifted services include in-class differentiation of curriculum, clustering/grouping students for instruction, grade level and/or subject acceleration based on individual needs, small group instruction, student advocacy, independent study programs, long-distance learning (high school), and guidance services targeted to high-ability learners. In most cases, these programming options are available to all students whose ability and interest meet established criteria for that option whether or not they are formally identified. Identification of gifted students occurs at the school level and is an ongoing process. Schools use school ability test scores, information from parents and teachers, and student performance information to determine eligibility.

HOMEWORK (BRSD Policy #130) Homework is a necessary part of students’ academic responsibilities and is an important component of each teacher’s grading procedures. Homework is designed to give students an opportunity to practice and reinforce the skills and knowledge of each academic discipline. Students are expected to follow teacher’s instructions for all homework assignments

HANDBOOK A student handbook is provided at no charge to each middle and high school student. Students are expected to use the resource. The student may write in the book. Loss of the book or defacing the book will require its replacement. The replacement fee is $5.00.

HONORS/AP PROGRAM This program offers courses which are designed to provide highly qualified students with the skills, knowledge, and background necessary to compete for Advanced Placement credit and acceptance into highly competitive post-secondary institutions. Currently, Advanced Placement level courses are offered in Biology, Calculus AB, AP English Language and Composition, English Literature & Composition, Physics, Statistics, US Government & Politics, and U.S. History.

LOCKERS (BRSD Policy #224) All students are assigned a hall locker for their personal possessions. It’s not a good idea to bring expensive belongings to school because they could be lost, stolen, or damaged. In order to secure belongings stored in lockers, the office has combination pad locks for student use. These are the only locks that can be used. A $5.00 deposit is required to get a lock for the year. This deposit will be returned to the student when the lock is returned.

We cannot be responsible for items stolen out of lockers, particularly if a lock is not used. All students must rent a pad lock unless they return a waiver signed by their parents giving them permission to not do so. Waiver forms will be made available to students at the beginning of the school year.

Locker Searches (More information in the Student Code of Conduct Section) School authorities may search a student’s locker and seize illegal materials. Seized material may be used as evidence in disciplinary proceedings. When practical, the student will be notified and given the opportunity to be present. However, lockers may be searched without prior warning in cases where school authorities have a reasonable suspicion that it contains material posing a threat to the health, welfare, or safety of students and staff.

MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER The library is opened daily from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Questions can be directed to the library staff by calling 465-3144, ext. 605.

COMPUTER USE (BRSD Policy #815) The use of school computers, the computer network and their outside networks (e.g. the Internet) is a privilege and a service, not a right. Inappropriate use can result in a cancellation of those privileges for all involved parties. Based upon the unacceptable use of the system, the administrators may suspend or terminate usage. In serious violations, all access may be suspended even if course work is jeopardized. Furthermore, students and their parents/guardians are liable for any expenses incurred in the school district’s efforts to uncover or repair computer or software damages.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education is an activity class. To pass this mandated course requires a satisfactory level of physical fitness, skills, and appropriate knowledge. Attire for physical activity requires freedom of movement and ease of respiration while ensuring safety and hygiene. Each pupil is required to change into a uniform consisting of a T-shirt, gym trunks (or a sweat suit) having an elastic or drawstring waistband, athletic socks, and basketball sneakers. No jewelry may be worn. Students are graded on attitude, effort, and participation. Missed classes must be made up within one cycle rotation. Medical emergencies require a parent/guardian note with any condition lasting one-week or more needing a doctor’s excuse. The doctor may list alternative activities in which the student may participate or else written reports will be assigned.

SAP The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is here to help students with problems. The SAP Team is made up of staff members who have had special training to deal with adolescent concerns such as peer pressure, family problems, depression, or drug and alcohol abuse. If you or a friend has a problem that you are unable to handle alone, please contact any teacher or staff member to say, “I need help”.

SPECIAL EDUCATION/GIFTED SERVICES Blue Ridge School District offers a comprehensive special education program and gifted services for students who qualify.

SCHOOL ACCIDENT INSURANCE (BRSD Policy #211) This insurance will cover medical expenses for accidents occurring during school, in and around school property, in transit to and from school, and at school sponsored activities including interscholastic athletics. The policy pays a principal sum for loss of body parts such as hands, feet, eyes, etc., and also for accidental death. While the Blue Ridge School District does not sell the insurance, it provides applications as a service to families with students in attendance. The school will distribute the insurance literature, collect the required payment, and forward it to the company. Afterwards, parents/guardians should direct their questions, concerns, and communications with the insurance carrier, not the school. NOTE: When an accident does occur, the student should secure the claim form through the Health Office. This form should then be completed by the parent/guardian and the attending physician and returned to the health office or may be sent directly to the insurance company.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE POLICY Statement of Belief and Authority – We are firmly committed to the belief that conduct is closely related to learning; an effective instructional program requires a wholesome and orderly school environment, and the effectiveness of the educational program is, in part, reflected in the behavior of its students. The Board of Education has the authority to make reasonable and necessary rules governing the conduct of students in school. A rule is generally considered reasonable if it uses a rational means of accomplishing some legitimate school purpose. School rules are assumed to be reasonable until they are rescinded or waived. The Board of Education shall require each student of this district to adhere to such rules and regulations developed by the staff and to submit such disciplinary measures as are appropriately assigned for infractions of those rules. The rules govern student conduct in school and during time spent in travel to and from school. Such rules shall require that students: 1. Conform to reasonable standards of socially acceptable behavior 2. Respect the rights, person, and property of others 3. Preserve the degree of order necessary to the educational program in which they are engaged 4. Obey constituted authority and respond to those who hold that authority The building principal shall have the authority to assign discipline to students, subject to the rules and regulations of the superintendent and to the student’s due process right to notice, hearing, and appeal.

21

Every disciplinary system, to work effectively and to be utilized realistically, requires that every member of the school staff understands and supports the guidelines as well as accepts the responsibility to make the system produce the desired results. The authority for routine classroom discipline is entrusted to the teacher. Students who continuously create situations, which interfere with teaching and learning, will be referred to the Principal.

TOBACCO FREE CAMPUS School Board policy states that Blue Ridge is a tobacco free campus. The consumption by anyone of any form of tobacco product or e-cigarette on school property is prohibited.

BULLYING/CYBERBULLYING (BRSD Policy #249) The Board is committed to providing a safe, positive learning environment for district students.

OFFENSE AND RESPONSE LEVEL GUIDELINES (BRSD Policy #218/233) A four-tiered approach will be used to categorize offenses and match the offense with a consequence. The following offenses are to be used as guidelines for behavior. The list is not all-inclusive, and the offenses are only examples of offenses a student may commit. There are times when students commit offenses that are not listed but may warrant a consequence. THE PRINCIPAL WILL HAVE THE FINAL DISCRETIONARY POWER TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF OFFENSE AND THE TYPE OF CONSEQUENCE AT THE BUILDING LEVEL. This discretionary power includes, but is not limited to, lunch period detentions, assigning community service and withholding privileges that are not a part of the academic curriculum.

DANCES Several student dances will be held throughout the year. Students may only attend dances for his/her grade level/building. Middle School students may not attend high school dances and vice versa. Students that are absent on the day of the dance will not be permitted to attend without Principal approval. Students may invite a guest from another school; however they must be registered by Thursday on the week of the dance. They must be approved by the office to attend. Middle School dances will run from 6:00 – 9:00 PM. High School dances will run from 7:00 – 10:00 PM. The following guidelines will be in effect:  Once a student leaves the dance area he/she will not be readmitted.  Blue Ridge students are responsible for seeing that their guests follow all rules or both will be asked to leave. Students are responsible for the actions of their guests.  (High School including Prom) Guests must be under the age of 21 or active military in uniform.

DISPLAY OF AFFECTION The way we project ourselves to the public and internally in the building is important. Public demonstrations of affection are certainly out of place in school corridors, classrooms, and assemblies as well as on buses or in any other area within the confines of the school district. Hugging, kissing, or other displays of affection are not allowed.

DETENTION All students will be expected to bring study materials and study for the entire period. Detention is served on designated days from 3:05 PM until 5:15 PM (as needed). Bus transportation via the activity bus will be provided by the school district. If you are absent from school, signed out without returning, or if Detention is canceled on your assigned detention day, detention will automatically be scheduled for the next day detention is held. If a student is absent on two or more consecutive detention days, we reserve the right to require a doctor’s excuse for any further absences on detention days. Continued disregard of school rules and detention assignments may result in a recommendation to the Board of Education for an expulsion hearing.

HEARINGS/DUE PROCESS (BRSD Policy #233) Education is a statutory right, and students must be afforded all appropriate elements of due process if they are to be excluded from school. In a case involving a possible expulsion, the student is entitled to a formal hearing, which is a fundamental element of due process. A formal hearing is required in all expulsion actions. This hearing may be held before the board of school directors or a duly authorized committee of the board or by a qualified hearing examiner appointed by the board. Due process requirements for both formal and informal hearings are available in the office for parental reference.

26

SEARCH, SEIZURE, AND INTERROGATIONS (BRSD Policy #226) The District respects the rights of its students against arbitrary intrusion of their person and property. At the same time, it is the responsibility of school officials to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all students enrolled in the District in order to promote an environment conducive to student learning. The Superintendent, principals, and their designees have the right to inspect and search school property and equipment. They may also search students and their personal property in which the student has a reasonable expectation of privacy, when there is reasonable suspicion to believe such student or property contains illegal items or other items in violation of Board policy are dangerous to the school community. School authorities may seize evidence found in the search and disciplinary action may be taken. Evidence found which appears to be in violation of the law shall be reported to the appropriate authority. School property shall include, but not be limited to, lockers, desks, and parking lots, as well as personal effects left there by students. When possible, prior notice will be given and the student will be allowed to be present along with an adult witness, however, searches may be done at any time with or without notice or the student’s consent. A personal search must not be excessively intrusive in light of the age and sex of the student and the nature of the infraction. School authorities may search a student’s locker and seize illegal materials. Seized material may be used as evidence in disciplinary proceedings. When practical the student will be notified and given the opportunity to be present. However, lockers may be searched without prior warning in cases where school authorities have a reasonable suspicion that it contains material posing a threat to the health, welfare, or safety of students and staff. K-9 Searches The Superintendent, principals, and their designees may request the assistance of law enforcement officials to help conduct searches. Such searches may include the use of specially trained dogs. Our schools and the Montrose District Attorney’s office work cooperatively with the Pennsylvania State Police to use specially trained dogs to conduct searches of middle and high school parking lots, lockers, and classrooms. These searches are part of an overall effort by the School District to keep schools safe and drug-free. The searches will be done randomly and without prior warning or announcement. Student Interrogation by Authorities State law requires that Children and Youth Services and members of Law Enforcement be permitted to interview students without a court order for the purpose of investigating child abuse. If the District makes a report to any law enforcement agency concerning student misconduct or if access to a student is granted to a law enforcement agency due to a court order, the principal or the principal’s designee shall make a good faith effort to contact the student’s parent, legal guardian, or other person having lawful control by court order, or person acting in loco parentis on student enrollment forms.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT/ANTI-HARASSMENT BRSD Policy #248 All students have a right to learn and develop in an environment free of discriminatory practices, including sexual harassment. Students also have a responsibility, as do the staff members with whom the students work, to maintain high standards of conduct and ethical behavior. Any conduct or behavior, which violates these accepted standards, such as sexual harassment, is prohibited; and, if and when this occurs, this conduct should be eliminated from the work environment. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination, which violates Titles VII and IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. Sexual harassment is illegal under both state and federal law. Violations should be reported to a guidance counselor, principal, or assistant principal. It shall therefore be a violation for any member of the school district staff to harass a student through conduct or communication of a sexual nature as defined below. It shall also be a violation of this policy for students to harass other students or staff members through conduct or communication of a sexual nature. Sexual Harassment is defined as:  Unwelcome sexual advances  Requests for sexual favors

27

   

Other inappropriate/unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, where submission to such conduct is explicitly or implicitly required of the recipient Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis of school or work related decisions affecting the recipient Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with the recipient’s work or school performance or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or learning environment. Sexual harassment may include but is not limited to the following: Verbal harassment or abusive vulgar comments repeated offensive remarks or displays with sexual or demeaning implications unwelcome touching suggested sexual involvement accompanied by implied or explicit threats concerning grades, job, home, family, etc.

It shall be the responsibility of all school staff members to expeditiously and properly address harassment complaints when they become aware of such complaints or suspect conduct that may be in violation of policy. Students and Staff members who ignore, tolerate, or condone and thereby fail to act to correct sexual harassment are in violation of this policy and subject to disciplinary and legal action. A substantiated charge against a staff member of the school district shall subject such staff member to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, and possible legal action. A substantiated charge against a student in the school district shall subject that student to disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion, and possible legal action. A false or unjust charge lodged in bad faith by either a student or staff member shall subject the accuser to the same disciplinary and/or legal action previously reserved for the accused within the limitations of applicable regulation, policy, or law. The following behaviors are considered inappropriate and fall under the category of sexual harassment: making sexual comments or jokes; making sexual gestures; being touched, grabbed, or pinched in a sexual way; being intentionally brushed up against in a sexual way; being mooned or flashed; spreading sexual rumors; being shown, given, or left sexual pictures, photographs, illustrations, messages, or notes; having passage or exit blocked in a sexual way; having sexual messages/graffiti written on walls; being forced to kiss a peer; being called or labeled in an obscene manner including gay or lesbian; student disrespect by pulling on clothes, “wedgies”, “de-pantsing” or “bra-snapping”.

SPECTATOR ACTIVITIES Students are encouraged to attend the many activities and events at Blue Ridge High School. As a spectator or a member of the audience, students must follow basic rules of etiquette. If a student is removed from the activity or event, he/she will be banned from attending further activities for the remainder of the school year or season and additional disciplinary action will be forthcoming.

IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION In-school suspension is used as an alternative to out-of-school suspension at the discretion of the principal. Student’s assigned in-school suspension will spend the day in school in a room under supervision. Students must follow the rules established for in-school suspension. Any student who is dismissed from in-school suspension due to misbehavior will be subject to immediate out-of-school suspension. In-school suspension will be held from 8:07 AM to 3:00 PM on days when school is in session. Students who have an absence during an in-school suspension will be assigned the suspension upon their return to school. Students cannot participate in any extracurricular activities on the day(s) in-school suspension is assigned.

OUT-OF-SCHOOL SUSPENSION It is believed that every student has the right to come to the Blue Ridge School District in expectation of receiving an education that will help him/her pursue an active and satisfying life. Rights and privileges are guaranteed to students who demonstrate their willingness to accept responsibilities. However, no student has

28

the right to interfere with the education of fellow students. The policy of suspension is established to deal with those students who insist on disrupting education. The administrator has the power and duty to initiate action leading to the suspension and possible expulsion of a student who has committed a serious infraction. Prohibited actions apply to sponsored activities both on and off school property. Suspension may be temporary, not exceeding three consecutive school days, or full, not exceeding 10 consecutive school days. The administrator will also decide if the suspension will be in or out of school. An informal hearing will be scheduled for any suspensions exceeding 3 days. Out of school suspension is used when the principal determines it is in the best interest of the school community for a student to be removed. This action should correct the inappropriate conduct or attitude by impressing upon the student the seriousness of their action. Provisions are:  Suspended students are to remain home during school hours  They are not to leave home unless accompanied by a parent/guardian  They should take books and school materials home  Students are prohibited from participation in activities, including athletics, either on or off school property  The student is not to visit the school or school property during the suspension Violation of these rules will lead to an additional suspension, possible expulsion recommendation, and/or referral to Services for Children and Youth. Parents/Guardians may need to accompany the student upon return from suspension for the purpose of an administrative conference. STATE LAW AND DISTRICT VIOLATIONS Blue Ridge School District adheres to all state laws governing alcohol, arson, drugs, extortion, forgery, gambling, physical assault, possession of weapons, sexual harassment, smoking, theft, vandalism, and verbal assault. Detailed information concerning each of these topics is available in the office and will be shared with involved parties as situations occur. Parents/Guardians may request information on any or all of these topics by contacting the High School office.

VIDEO SURVEILLANCE In order to enhance the safety of our students the Blue Ridge School campus is under video surveillance.

**Please note the student handbook may be amended as a result of a change in policy or procedure during the school year.
