3. Announcements need to be written in complete sentences, with clear phrasing for the students to read.
4. All activities must be approved by Fred Azrak before any information about it is broadcast.
|ASSEMBLIES |
Everglades High School will be having assemblies throughout the year in the auditorium and gymnasium. Teachers are required to stay with their students and are responsible for the enforcement of the following rules of conduct for all assembly programs.
1. Students from your room must stay together as a group and return to your room as a group.
2. All students are to be directed not to walk on the gymnasium floor.
3. Teachers should instruct their students thoroughly in proper behavior and courtesy during assembly programs. Whenever necessary, more specific instructions will be given.
|ATHLETICS AND OTHER PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS |
Everglades High School participates in a myriad of athletic competitions under the jurisdiction of the Florida High School Athletics Association. The Athletic Program is an extra curricular activity and as such will be given its proper emphasis. Performing Arts and music organizations are under the same jurisdiction as athletics. (Please refer to the athletic and performing arts organization’s handbooks for further information).
|ATTENDANCE/CODES |
Any absence from school is considered unexcused until the parents of the student provide the school with information to the contrary.
▪ Attendance for ALL periods will be entered on Pinnacle.
▪ Students arriving late to school must report to the Room 320 prior to entering their classroom. It is the teacher’s responsibility to check for a tardy pass.

|ATTENDANCE/ABSENCES |
School Board policy states that high school staff members may accept notes as reports of excused absences. Parents MUST report absences to the attendance office by telephone or note within two days following the absences, although school principals MAY make exceptions in cases of need. School staff members have a legal right to ask for a written medical excuse. For specific information regarding the attendance policy please see the Code of Student Conduct on the Secondary Level.
|ABSENCE POLICY |
The State of Florida compulsory attendance law, Florida Statute 232.01, requires regular school attendance of all children between the ages of 6 and 16. The only absences excusable by law are for a student's illness or prior permission of a school authority.
Students who do not meet the State of Florida criteria for compulsory attendance and exhibit chronic truant behavior will be assessed by the school for interventions and/or notification of possible withdrawal from school.
Everglades High School follows an extensive plan to actively intervene when a student is excessively absent. The following are the steps taken to provide parent notification and strategies for intervention:
▪ By maintaining daily attendance records, teachers identify students who are at risk for attendance problems. Teachers are to make contact with parents after the first unexcused absence. A referral is written to the appropriate assistant principal when a minimum of 5 documented attempts to contact the parent(s) is unsuccessful.
▪ Upon receipt of the referral, the assistant principal will attempt a telephone contact. Whether successful or unsuccessful, the telephone contact is followed up by an attendance letter sent to the student's home.
▪ The Assistant Principal refers the student for interventions to the school's student services support team, i.e. Guidance, ESE, ESOL, and Family Counseling.
▪ The Assistant Principal initiates a social worker referral if previous interventions have proven unsuccessful.
▪ The School Social Worker assesses and/or initiates truancy interventions which may include an attendance agreement signed by the parent and student, parent consultation, student conference, referral to school or community based support services, and monitoring of the student's attendance.
▪ The Assistant Principal will continue to attempt parent contact in order to schedule a conference to discuss the situation.
▪ In the conference, the parent, the student and the assistant principal sign an attendance contract. The student is also placed on either daily or weekly progress reports depending on the individual circumstance and referred for continued monitoring to the Guidance Counselor and/or Family Counselor.
▪ Severe attendance problems are referred to the Child Study Team for other interventions or consideration of alternative placement options, i.e. South Area Alternative, School of Choice, Adult Education, Sheridan Vocational, and McFatter Vocational.
|AUDITORIUM |
Everglades High School auditorium is available for use by our faculty. It is a room with many possibilities, and it makes your students feel excited about what they are learning when they are brought to a new environment. Teachers may use the auditorium for speeches by guests from the community, performances of student work, presentations of student projects, and many other types of things. Guidance may use the auditorium for testing and guest speakers/presentations. In order for use of the auditorium to be fair for everyone involved, we must follow some procedures that have been established by the administration and the auditorium manager. Please follow this process to reserve the auditorium for your use during the school day, or for any other time.
Pre-plan your event with your organization (student clubs, department, other teacher, etc.) and attend to as many details as you can. These should include dates, times, number of people attending, and exactly what will be occurring during the event.
See the Student Activities Director, Fred Azrak. Complete both a Project Approval Form and an Auditorium/Theatre Reservation Form, providing as much specific information as possible. You will be contacted by the Activities Director to verify that the form was received and to clarify any details of your event. Some student technicians will be assigned to assist in arranging the event, but the ultimate responsibility for the event running smoothly lies upon you. Any changes in details of the event must be reported to the Students Activities Director immediately.
|AUDITORIUM GUIDELINES |
1. Students should never be left unsupervised in the auditorium/theatre. As the event coordinator or sponsor, you are accountable for anything that takes place in the room during the event or the preparations for the event.
2. Students are expected to behave when they are in the auditorium as if they are in a public concert hall. They are not to sit with their feet up on chairs or do anything that might damage some aspect of the auditorium. There is no food or drink in the auditorium or theatre.
3. The auditorium/theatre is reserved on a first come first serve basis, with school activities taking priority over community activities, assuming the date is available. Therefore, as soon as you are aware of an event you would like to sponsor, fill out the above-mentioned forms in the Student Activities Office. These forms must be turned in at least two weeks prior to the first rehearsal or the event itself (whichever comes first) to guarantee that the equipment and student volunteers will be available for the time of the event.
4. Producing an event in the auditorium is not an easy task. In order to help you plan your event more efficiently, please see the section below entitled, "Checklist for Auditorium Planning." Use this checklist to understand the possibilities for using the room to its fullest potential.
|CHECKLIST FOR AUDITORIUM PLANNING |
1. What is my expected attendance? Will performers need areas of seating reserved for them?
2. Will this require extra security officers or custodial personnel? Extra security should be arranged through administration and the bookkeeper.
3. What is to be included in the event program? It is best to supply the auditorium manager and staff with a printed program at least a few days in advance.
4. Does each item in the program require different technical considerations?
5. Do my performers need to be amplified? If you are unsure of the amplification (microphones and speakers) required for your event, please consult with the auditorium manager.
6. What special equipment might be required? Equipment such as overhead projectors, video projectors, TV's VCR's, and other media or technological devices is available.
7. What special sound considerations do I have? CD's and tapes can be played through the administrator’s sound system. Testing these sources before the event is very important.
8. What special lighting considerations do I have? Rearranging lights needs to be done at least two days in advance. It can be a lengthy process, but can make all the difference. Spotlights are available, as are infinite configurations of stage lights and administrator’s lights.
9. How will the stage be arranged? This may include opening and closing of curtains, use of podiums, tables, chairs, or other props. This is a flexible aspect, but if the items you need are not in the auditorium, they will need to be obtained from elsewhere.
Your answers to these items should be indicated clearly on the Auditorium Request Form.
|BEHAVIORAL EMERGENCY |
A behavioral emergency exists whenever it is apparent that one or more students will be demonstrating "acting out" behaviors (i.e. fighting, running away from school personnel, etc.) Behavioral emergencies usually involve several students who are about to "go out of control."
Whenever a BEHAVIORAL EMERGENCY occurs, the following procedures should be followed:
1. Use the intercom system and report a behavioral emergency.
2. The same steps will be followed as in a medical emergency.

|CHILD ABUSE FLORIDA STATUTE |
According to the Florida Statutes, child abuse consists of any willful or negligent acts which result in neglect; malnutrition; sexual abuse; unreasonable physical injury; material endangerment of mental health; or failure to provide treatment, attention, substance, clothing, shelter, or medical services.
All educators and child advocates are held legally responsible under Florida Statute 827.07 for reporting suspected cases of child abuse and neglect to the Central Registry, telephone
1-800-96A-BUSE. The name of the reporter must be given. All suspected cases of child abuse must be reported to the principal or designee who is then required to be in compliance with Florida Statute 827.07 and report alleged child abuse or neglect for investigation.
Florida statute 827.07 indicates that any person including, but not limited to, any physician, nurse, teacher, social worker or employee in a public or private facility-serving children must report all suspicions of child abuse. Visiting teacher/school social workers and school based Child Abuse Coordinator is available for consultation concerning the identification and reporting of child abuse and neglect. Clinical social workers are available for providing school personnel with in-depth consultation on an individual student. They also assist in providing linkage between schools and community agencies. Finally, they are available to provide behavior management techniques for those students who have been identified as being abused and severely neglected.
|CITIZENSHIP |
High standards of citizenship are expected from the students at Everglades High School. These high standards must be demonstrated not only during the season of an activity but also during the entire year. An unsatisfactory conduct grade during the year may seriously affect the student's future in the athletic program at Everglades High. The school believes the students both on and off campus should demonstrate proper citizenship. Therefore, if a student is involved in any incident that would be in contrast to the goals of Everglades High School or that would cast reproach upon the school and its extracurricular program, the student may forfeit any future participation in any activities. Teachers are encouraged to discuss with the extracurricular sponsors and coach those students who are failing to maintain the above standards.

2. Students should walk fast, but not run or talk during the entire drill.
3. Classes must remain together while leaving the building and remain together while returning to the classroom. Everyone remains outside until the inspection of the building is completed. Return to classes when the “all clear” bell rings.
4. The teacher will bring up the rear of the line. Teachers, please instruct your students to observe the drill procedures. Teachers, please explain to your students what to do in case a drill occurs while some of them (the students) are out of the room.
5. Each classroom will be supplied with individual instruction on evacuation. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these procedures and discuss them with each class. These instructions are to be posted conspicuously and must remain posted throughout the school year
6. During emergencies or emergency drills, the elevator will be captured to the first floor and will not be available for evacuation. For evacuation during emergency conditions, an area of refuge has been provided at each interior or exterior stairway landing for individuals should proceed to the area of refuge located in the stairwell landings to wait for further assistance,
7. The area of refuge has been specifically constructed to protect handicapped occupants from fire while waiting for fire rescue assistance to exit the building. Fire departments are trained to assist handicapped individuals by search and rescue methods especially in areas of refuge in the stairway landing of multistory buildings.
8. For students with disabilities: proceed to the evacuation area designated for the students. These students will be evacuated upon arrival of fire rescue.
9. Reminder: take your plan/grade/attendance book with you during a fire/bomb drill. You must take your class roll once you reach your designated location. Teachers must maintain responsibility for their students and be able to account for them. See Emergency Codes for detailed explanations.
NOTE: The degree of seriousness displayed by the instructor during evacuation drills will have a definite influence on the reaction of the students.
|FIRE/TORNADO DRILL PROCEDURES |
Evacuation routes must be posted in each classroom. See Mr. Smith if you don’t have one. There will be at least ten practice fire drills and two-tornado drills each school year. You must explain and practice, the classroom portion of this procedure for each class, each semester. Teachers are required to take their grade/attendance books during any drill.
During emergencies and drills:
1. When the alarm sounds:
a. Windows should be closed.

|GRADES |
Grading scale for High School students throughout the State of Florida is as follows:
A = 90-100
B+ = 87-89
B = 80-86
C+ = 77-79
C = 70-76
D+ = 67-69
D = 60-66
F = 00-59
|POINTERS ON GRADING |
• Grades must be given only on recorded data, at least nine grades every 45 days. Students should understand how grades are determined and should be kept aware of their progress. Grades will be posted within 48 school hours of collecting the assignment/test. (Exceptions may be made for major projects/assignments) Misbehavior is to be reflected in the conduct section, NOT IN THE ACADEMIC GRADE. Unsatisfactory conduct grades may have serious consequences and may prohibit students from participating in honor roll, honor societies, student council and athletic events. Unsatisfactory conduct grades should not be given for trivial things. Students should understand why they are receiving an unsatisfactory conduct grade. It is expected that grades for all graded assignments and/or tests be posted within 48 hours of being collected. ALL tests/assignments are to be reviewed as soon as a grade is posted. Through remediation, re-teaching, and re-assessing, a maximum percent of D’s and F’s should not exceed 40%.
|GUEST SPEAKERS |
Approval Forms are necessary for all guest speakers. Please see Activities Director for the approval forms.
The Approval Form must be submitted three weeks prior to activity (Two-Part Form)

|HOMEWORK |
Homework shall be encouraged and assigned to individual students when and where appropriate to enrich the learning situation and to provide for skill improvement. The type of homework and amount assigned should be consistent with the ability of the student as well as his or her age and grade level. Homework is valuable when it meets the needs of the individual student and is usually an extension of his or her curriculum content and strategies. It is reasonable to expect the amount of homework to increase as the student progresses through the educational program. Home assignments should evolve from the needs and experiences of the student. These assignments should be carefully made and the teacher should follow-up the assignments by integrating the material into the daily classroom procedure and curriculum strategies. The teacher is responsible to check or grade the homework and return it to the student. Homework should be limited to 90 minutes (9th grade), 100 minutes (10th grade), 110 minutes (11th grade), and 120 minutes (12th grade) a night by board policy.
A clear and concise explanation as to the contents of the assignment should be made at the time of the assignment. Homework should NOT BE "busy work" or be used to replace or reduce supervised study. Conferences with parents regarding the purpose and extent of home assignments are advisable to encourage a better understanding as to the ways and means in which parents can offer help.

Other Professional Competencies

|LIABILITY |
The primary test for determining liability of a teacher for injury to a pupil is FORESEEABILITY. If a reasonably prudent person could have foreseen the harmful consequences of his/her act, a teacher, in disregarding the foreseeable consequences, is liable for negligent conduct. When a person is doing anything in which a person of ordinary prudence can foresee danger or harm to another, the law imposes upon him/her a duty to exercise reasonable care.
Because of the teacher-pupil relationship, the test of foresee ability for a teacher should be based on what a reasonably prudent person could have foreseen under the circumstances.
If a teacher is negligent in the performance of his/her duties, there is no legal power, which can protect him/her from the consequences of his/her negligence. However, if a teacher exercises due care to foresee harmful consequences and to provide reasonable safety measures, the burden of proof of negligence is placed on the accuser. The courts have upheld teachers who exercised reasonable care in handling students under their supervision. There are no statutes in Florida, which grant immunity to teachers from suits for injuries sustained by pupils. However, the courts have interpreted the law to mean that a teacher is not liable for injuries to a pupil unless the teacher is negligent in his/her duty.
The best course of action for any teacher to take is to follow known safety rules to instruct his/her students as to the best way of carrying out a specific assignment, and to exercise reasonable caution in the performance of regular school duties whether they are in the classroom, on the playground, or on a fieldtrip. In other words, teachers should use sound judgment and exercise initiative.

Student Concerns
|SCHOOL SECURITY |
Everglades High School is protected by an electronic alarm system that is activated from the time the custodial staff leaves in the evening until the building is officially opened the following day. The system is in effect twenty-four (24) hours including weekends and holidays. Any teacher wishing to enter the building for school business during weekends, holidays, etc. must make special arrangements with the administrator in charge of school facilities. Code number for security SHALL NOT be given out other than through the administrator in charge of security. Keys will be issued through the administrator responsible for the security of the building. THESE KEYS MUST NEVER BE DUPLICATED OR GIVEN TO ANY OTHER PERSON INCLUDING STUDENTS. If keys are lost or stolen, you must file a security report with the security office.
Teachers are asked to notify the office in case of security emergencies (i.e. trespassers, disruptive students, etc.) Also, in an effort to keep all students safe, teachers must not under any circumstance put a student out of class or seat a student outside of the classroom without proper supervision.
|SMOKING |
Smoking during the school day is a problem, which involves both students and teachers. Teachers can assist in setting high standards by refraining from smoking. Everglades High School is a smoke-free environment. SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED ON EVERGLADES HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS AT ANYTIME NOT EVEN IN YOUR CARS.
|STUDENT ILLNESS |
If a student becomes too ill to remain in class, please give the student a pass and send him/her to the nearest administrator’s office. If necessary, please contact the nearest administrative office or hall monitor to have the student escorted. If it is necessary for the student to be sent home, a parent will be called. Staff is prohibited by law from giving students any form of internal medicine such as aspirin, Tylenol, etc. Therefore, students with headaches, etc., should be encouraged to remain in the classroom or sent to their appropriate administrator’s office to call home.
|STUDENT RECORDS |
These are legal documents that are only used by authorized school personnel.
|SUBSTITUTE INFORMATION |
Please be aware of the following items should you need to use a substitute during the year.
▪ A quick reference guide to using Sub Search is available for your convenience. Please review the procedures and make sure you have your PIN number. It is your responsibility to call Sub Search to report your absences.
▪ A copy of the EHS sub priority list is also available for your reference. You may choose your own substitute or let the system do it for you. If you are requesting a particular sub, you must place your request 5 days prior to the start date of the job.
▪ The Sub Search system will give you a job number. This must also be included on your TDA. (Please write it on the top right corner of the form.)
▪ A TDA is necessary for a scheduled absence. The TDA forms are available in a box across from the faculty mailboxes. There is a minimum of two pages to fill out - the funding request form and the actual TDA form. (If you are going on a field trip or to a class there are other forms also.) Due to changes in the reimbursement process, TDA’s must be in to Mrs. Haleh Darbar and on file at least 5 days prior to your date of absence.
▪ If your absence is canceled, please call the system to cancel the sub. The system will then give you the substitute's phone number and you will be responsible for contacting the substitute and canceling the assignment. The system will not cancel the sub for you. (Also remember to cancel your TDA!)
▪ Lesson plans are critical to having a successful day as a substitute! If your absence is planned, leave the lesson plans for your sub with your department head or in your classroom. The subs are instructed to check your mailbox before going to class and you can leave any notes to them there also. Take time to put together a folder of alternative activities (more than one, please!) in case you are out in an emergency. A seating chart along with instructions on how to take attendance is also very helpful.
When a substitute is required, please follow "Sub-Finder" procedures. Always keep your sub-finder card with you. When you are returning from an absence, sign your Certificate of Absence in the main office. In order to render assistance to the substitute teacher, the regular teacher should provide the following:
▪ Roll book, computer printout, or up-to-date roster
▪ Plan book must be current and one week in advance
▪ Sufficient materials to facilitate student progress
▪ Seating charts for each class
▪ List of classroom rules and procedures
▪ Alternate plans in case of unpredicted circumstances
Per School Board directive issued October 31, 2000: When you have a TDA (and a substitute is secured), you MUST report to school before going to the training to verify that the substitute has arrived. If the sub is there, you may leave for the training. If there is no sub, you may not attend the scheduled training.
|TEMPORARY DUTY ASSIGNMENTS |
Temporary duty is when an employee performs duties other than the employee’s regular assignment such as staffing or field trips. Administrative coverage, business travel, travels related to county sponsored seminars, etc. Prior to any temporary duty assignment, each employee must complete a TDA-1 form that can be obtained in the production room. All TDA’s must be turned into the budget keeper two weeks prior to the day of departure for funding coding. Supporting documents of the event attending should be attached. The principal must approve all TDA’s. The District Office must additionally approve TDA’s requiring travel outside of the county or country.
|TEXTBOOK ACCOUNTING |
The textbook coordinator has developed a plan for accounting for textbooks used by students. It is important to follow this procedure carefully in order to provide accountability by the end of the school year. Failure to follow these procedures will cause undue hardship and loss of textbook funds. It is imperative that the student's name, teacher's name, and the school year be listed in ink on the inside front cover of each book.
|TEXTBOOK PROCEDURES CHECKLIST |
Please adhere to the following steps when passing out textbooks to go home with the students.
1. Each student will report to the book room and have their books issued to them through Destiny.
2. Have students write their name, teacher name, and year in textbook while in class (optional).
3. Place textbook number by students name in grade book (optional).
Please adhere to the following procedures when collecting textbooks from your students at the end of each semester.
1. At the end of the year all textbooks will be returned to the centralized bookroom.
2. Please return the textbook/obligation form to the students who have turned in their textbook for their records.
3. Remaining textbook/obligation forms should be turned in to your administrator’s secretary completed as an obligation.
4. Once a textbook/obligation form has been turned in to your administrator’s secretary as an obligation, do not accept the textbook. You must send the student with the textbook to see the Designated secretary, to satisfy that obligation.
|UNITED STATES MAIL |
Mail that requires up to $.47 postage, is mailed in a school board return address envelope, and involves official school business, can be stamped with postage in the Budget keeper’s office. See office staff for instructions.
|VISITORS ON CAMPUS |
Any individual or group desiring to tour Everglades High School needs permission from the Principal's office. Members of the general public, including parents, wishing to contact teachers or pupils during the school day must receive permission from the Principal's office. That person must then sign in and receive a Visitor ID Badge. Loitering by individuals not associated with the school will not be tolerated.
|VIOLATORS WILL BE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING |
All teachers are asked to notify the office when they see a person on school grounds without a visitor ID badge. Approved visitors on campus will have a visitor's identification badge issued from the Front office.
|VOLUNTEERS |
Adult volunteers are an important part of the total school program. Volunteers may be of assistance in the following ways: tutoring, skills remediation, guest speaker, foreign language interpreters, judges for contests, chaperones, general classroom assistance, clerical assistance, preparing materials or special projects and activities. Note: Appropriate forms must be completed and submitted to the school's volunteer coordinator before any volunteer service can be performed. All volunteers must be cleared prior to working at the school.

Make sure you take your grade/attendance book with you.
For emergencies and drills.
1. When the alarm sounds:
a. Windows should be closed
b. Line up students by the door and have them take their belongings.
2. As you leave your room, turn the lights off and lock your door.
3. Follow the predetermined evacuation map as posted in your room.
4. Students are to remain with their class and walk in a brisk manner because we have to move a large number of people in a short time.
5. Once you have reached your assigned area:
a. Keep you class together. If a parent needs to find their child the child needs to be in their scheduled class in their designated location.
b. Take roll and report any student that was in your class when you started and did not make it out to your fire drill location, or was out of class when you left. Let the Command Post know where you had sent the student before the alarm.
c. Report both types of students to the Command Post
6. When all activity has stopped you will be sent back to your classroom in an orderly manner by direction of administration and security.
7. After you have returned to your room take attendance again.
Report any discrepancies to your administrator
8. Please take roll upon arrival at your area, and take roll upon returning to your room. (Students will stay with you if you give them a grade for the fire drill.)
9. Have your students close together throughout the FIRE DRILL. You are accountable for your students and your correct location. Wait until the return bell is rung before you return.
4. It’s imperative that you keep your class together and in the correct area, for in an emergency we must know where every child is located. We as adults are responsible for each and every child.
