Think school is too hard?
Try life without your diploma.
• You’ll qualify for just 12% of available jobs and you’re more likely to be let go when the economy is weak.
• You’ll only earn around $19,000 per year. That’s below the poverty line for a family of four.
• You’re more likely to end up in jail.
• You’re more likely to be in poor health.
Think again.

ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION AT
SCHOOL
The WS/FCS Board of Education discourages the use and administration of medication at school, but recognizes that it is sometimes necessary for the health of the child. Medication that can be given outside regular school hours is encouraged as long as it does not adversely affect the health of the child. Reasonable efforts should be made by the parent/guardian to obtain physician permission to adjust the prescription dosage so it can be administered at home.
Medicine cannot be administered by school staff without the written authorization of the student’s parent or guardian and a doctor. If medication is to be administered during school hours, the student or parent/guardian should take it directly to the Counseling Center.
GRADING SCALE
The grading scale below is used on all report cards for instructional programs:

HOMEWORK
Homework is an integral part of the learning experience. Your child’s teachers and team will determine the amount and types of assignments. Our philosophy focuses on quality instead of quantity.
A parent may call the counseling center to request homework for a student absent two or more days. Assignments will be ready in the counseling office after 2:00 p.m. on the date following the request.
If homework is needed for a shorter period of time or sooner, a student may want to contact a friend to bring his/her assignments and books home from school. Teachers will be utilizing Haiku this year, an online tool for access to homework and other class resources.
TUTORING SESSIONS
Teachers conduct tutoring sessions after school. After-school transportation is provided to specified neighborhood locations. Drop off locations are posted in the student handbook. Parents should make sure that one of the listed stops is close to their house. If not, parents should pick their child up from that stop or pick them up following the after-school activity.
COPYRIGHT LAW COMPLIANCE
Students are expected to cite all sources used for research. Students may not copy another person’s work and claim it as their own; this includes cutting and pasting written text from online sources, copying and retyping written text from a print source, and the use of pictures from online sources.
MEDIA CENTER

Each individual student must have a pass. Students may check out a book, magazine, or use a computer. Students must return to homeroom when the homeroom bell rings. If a student wishes to stay after hours, they must receive permission from Mrs. Lyons 24 hours in advance. Students who sign up to stay afterschool in the Media Center are under the supervision of the Media Coordinator and may not go elsewhere in the building unless they have permission. The Media Center is a shared facility for the whole school and includes online, print, and audiovisual resources for students, teachers, and parents. Classes, small groups, and individuals come to the Media Center to complete research projects in all subjects, to check out reading material, and to meet, perform, and practice for activities. Students may check out as many materials as they can handle, but students may not check out new items if any items from Wiley are overdue. Students may return any item checked out from another WS/FC school library or pay for any fine generated at another WS/FC school at the Wiley Media Center.
TELEPHONE USE
Telephones are available in the classrooms for emergencies. During the school day, students may use the telephone in their classroom with the permission of their teacher. These calls will be limited to school matters or to report an illness. Social calls are not allowed.

Violation of cell phone/electronic device guidelines will result in confiscation and the parent/guardian must come to school to retrieve the phone or electronic device. Repeat offenses may result in additional school discipline.
MLC (BYOD)
WS/FCS and Wiley Magnet Middle School supports Mobile Learning Communities (MLCs). Students are entering a world and a workforce that is mobile. They need the skills necessary to live and thrive in this environment. In order to adequately prepare them teachers have to change the way they teach; utilizing collaboration and creative critical thinking. Mobile Learning Communities is the initiative to change teaching and learning with technology in WS/FCS. MLCs will provide students and staff the ability to connect to district-provided Internet access and an array of technology resources to promote educational achievement and mastery, with their personal device.

A $5.00 fee will be charged for a lost lock and the homeroom teacher will charge appropriate fines for locker damages.
Any personal property placed in the locker is the responsibility of the student, not the school. Lockers should be secured at all times. Any item stolen or removed from the locker should be reported to an administrator immediately. STUDENTS: DO NOT GIVE YOUR LOCKER COMBINATION TO ANYONE. Please note that lockers are school system property; therefore, periodic locker checks will be conducted during the course of the school year for lost library books, textbooks, maintenance of lockers, and any materials considered a hazard on campus. An administrator reserves the right to open and search any locker at any time.
BAND INSTRUMENT SECURITY
