SCHOOL HOURS

Office Hours ………..…7:45 a.m.-3:45 p.m.

Class Times..……..…….8:05 a.m.-3:09 p.m.

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL

Students arriving at school or picked up from school should use the front doors of the Middle School entrance. Students being picked up or dropped off between the hours of 8:15 and 2:45 may use the parking lot in front of the middle school entrance. Students being dropped off or picked up during other hours should use the high school parking lot so there is no interference with bus traffic.

VISITOR PROCEDURES

The safety of students and staff is a top priority at Parkway Local Schools. To help maintain safety, all outside entrances are locked throughout the day. When arriving at school, you will need to push the button outside of the middle school entrance (on right-hand side). At this time, a school employee will respond. You will need to identify yourself and your purpose for being at the school. If the employee does not know you, you will be required to show your driver’s license. The license needs to be held approximately 1” from the camera. Once you have been properly identified, you will be buzzed into the school office. Parents and visitors are not to go to classrooms unless granted permission by school staff. We appreciate your cooperation!

ATTENDANCE

The State of Ohio (Ohio Revised Code 3321.01) states that all persons between the ages of six and eighteen must attend school. Since school attendance is vital to the academic success of each pupil, we believe that 100% attendance should be the goal of each student and his/her parents and/or guardians.

The Missing Child Act requires that parents notify the school if their child will not be in attendance, and requires schools to notify parents if the child is not in school. Parents and Legal Guardians are required to notify the school office before 8:10 a.m. on the day the student is absent from school. The attendance line is on 24 hours a day for parents to report the absence.

Please call 419-363-3045 and you will be directed to the middle school office to report the name of the student, the specific reason for the absence and the name of the individual who is calling the student in. A student may also call him/herself in if the parent/legal guardian is not available, however, a note from the parent/legal guardian stating the reason for the student’s absence is required upon the student’s return to school. If the absence is not phoned in by 8:10, the school will contact the parent/guardian for verification of the absence.

A written parent/legal guardian excuse or original doctor’s medical verification will be honored for up to (3) school days after the student’s absence. Failure to submit a note within the (3) days may result in the absence being considered as unexcused or truancy. All notes must be written by the parent or legal guardian.

ABSENCES

The determination as to whether an absence is excused or unexcused rests with the building administration.

Students are permitted to miss no more than eight days per semester. Any absence beyond the eight allowable per semester will require a doctor’s excuse to be counted as an excused absence. Any absence beyond the eight without a doctor’s note will be considered unexcused.

EXCUSED ABSENCES THAT WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD THE EIGHT DAYS ALLOWED PER SEMESTER

1. A student is in the hospital.

2. A student is confined at home by doctor’s orders for an

extended illness. A doctor’s medical note is required.

(Medical notes will only be accepted when the student

was seen at the doctor’s office or hospital)

4. Religious Holidays

5. Funeral of a Family Member or Close Relative

6. Medical Appointments (verified by Doctor’s Excuse)

7. School Related Absences

A student is considered absent for the morning if he/she arrives after 10:00 a.m. and absent for the afternoon if he/she leaves before 1:30 p.m. If a student leaves school for an appointment and returns, but is gone for more than two hours, it will be considered a half-day absence.

UNEXCUSED ABSENCES

Students who are unexcused will receive 0% in all tests, quizzes, and assignments that are graded. Truancy charges may be filed when a student reaches three unexcused absences.

VACATION DAYS DURING SCHOOL YEAR

Up to five days of vacation may be excused only when the student travels with his/her parent/legal guardian or has parental permission to travel with another student’s parent/legal guardian. These vacation days will count against the eight allowable absences per semester. Permission must be obtained from the school administration by the parent/legal guardian no later than three school days prior to the start of the vacation.

If you are unsure of the exact days you will take vacation due to work or weather conditions, please notify the school in advance, indicating a certain time period when you may take your vacation. Family vacations are not to occur during state testing. The student is responsible for making up all work missed while on vacation. Students who are absent for vacation days are not eligible to participate in after school activities.

*Any parent request to have the student out of school for three to five days will be considered a vacation.

PLEASE NOTE: When determining eligibility for vacation, consideration will be given to student attendance and academic marks. If a student has had poor attendance and/or is failing one or more courses, vacation days may not

be excused.

VAN WERT COUNTY FAIR

Students will be excused for the Van Wert County Fair only if all of the

following criteria are met:

1. A note signed by the parent or legal guardian and a list of projects’

being exhibited at the fair is given to the principal three school days prior

to the anticipated absence.

2. Students must be exhibiting a Junior Fair project and belong to a Van Wert

County 4-H club.

3. Fair absences will count against the eight allowable absences per

semester.

TARDINESS

Prompt arrival at school and to all classes is expected of students. Late arrival disrupts class and causes loss of instruction time. Students arriving after 8:05, but before 10:00 will be considered tardy. Students arriving after 10:00 will be considered absent for a half day.

Students who are tardy to school three times within a nine weeks period will be assigned a Friday School. Missing the bus, over-sleeping, and car problems are not acceptable excuses for being tardy.

Once the school day has begun, students are expected to change classes quickly. Students who are late to class three times within a nine weeks will also be assigned a Friday School.

AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION

A student who is absent, comes to school after 10:00 AM, or is sent home due to illness during the day will not be eligible to take part in any type of after-school activity. Exceptions would be a student leaving school for a doctor’s appointment, funeral, or other justifiable absence other than illness that has been pre-approved by school administration.

STUDENT EARLY DISMISSAL FROM SCHOOL

If a parent/guardian wishes to have their child leave school grounds during

school hours, a written request or phone call is to be submitted to the

school office prior to 8:10 a.m. on the day to be dismissed.

MAKE-UP WORK

Students who are absent may call school to receive their assignments. Homework requests are due by 8:10 a.m. and assignments will be ready to be picked up by 2:30 p.m.

SCHOOL CLOSING OR DELAYS

If it is necessary to close or delay school because of inclement weather or an equipment failure, this information will be called in to the following radio stations: WCSM 96.7 FM (Celina), WERT 1220 AM (Van Wert), WKKI 94.3 FM (Celina), WIMA 1150 AM (Lima), WIMT 102.1 FM (Lima). Also channel 21 (WPTA Ft. Wayne) and Channel 35 (WLIO Lima) will carry the information. Please listen to these stations for school closing information. You may also call the school at 419-363-3045 Option 7, check our website, , or sign up for Ohio Alerts on the Parkway Local School homepage to receive emails or text messages.

GRADING

With the implementation of the Common Core and use of Formative Instructional Practices (FIP), the way students are graded is changing and will continue to change over time. The challenge for our staff is to accurately measure and evaluate student learning. We want our grading policies to reflect actual learning with less emphasis on “completion grades.” The bulk of a student’s final grade will come from summative assessments (tests, quizzes, reports, and/or projects).

PROGRESS BOOK

Grade cards are issued at the end of each 9-week grading period. All previous year fees and current year fees will need to be paid before a student receives their grade card for the current quarter.

Parent access to Progress book can be requested on web site under the parent link. For parents to be able to access their student(s) grades, the student’s book fees must be kept current. All past fees must be paid and the current year must be prepaid at minimum preceding the quarter in which access is requested.

GRADING SCALE

The grading scale at Parkway Local Schools (5-8) is as follows:

100-99 A+ 82-80 C+

98-95 A 79-76 C

94-93 A- 75-73 C-

92-90 B+ 72-70 D+

89-86 B 69-66 D

85-83 B- 65-63 D-

62-0 F

HONOR ROLLS

Parkway Middle School believes in honoring our students who have outstanding academic achievement. The Honor Roll will be posted at the end of each nine-week grading period. Honor Roll is based on the student’s grade point average. There are three classifications listed below. Students should check for accuracy and notify the office before it is sent to the newspapers and web sites.

Highest Honors: 4.0 Grade Point Average

High Honors: 3.50-3.99 GPA

Honor Roll: 3.00-3.49 GPA

CHEATING

Cheating is a serious compromise of a student's integrity and will not be tolerated. If cheating is discovered, the student's work will be confiscated. A failing grade will automatically be recorded for the work, and the teacher will notify parents.

HOMEWORK

Homework is a vital extension of the school day. Parkway middle school has placed an emphasis on reading and reading-based assignments as homework. Students should be reading for one hour per night. Some of this reading may be specific assignments and some may be AR based. If there is no specific reading assignment for the night, students should still spend an hour reading! In addition to reading homework, students are assigned 15-20 minutes of math homework per night.

PROMOTION AND RETENTION

Students will be promoted upon satisfactory completion of the work in their present grade level, upon maintaining adequate social and emotional maturity and possessing the ability for advancement. Students may be retained at their present grade level based upon one or more of the following criteria:

1. The pupil is failing in at least two major subjects. Major subjects for grades four through eight are defined as Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies/History.

2. The pupil is failing in at least one major subject and two required elective subjects. Required elective subjects are defined as Health, Family Consumer Science, Computer Science, Choir, Band, Art, and Physical Education, or other classes that may be offered as electives for middle school students.

3. The pupil is reading two years below his/her grade level.

4. The pupil is unable to achieve at the assigned grade level, based upon student performance.

Requests by parents for retention of a child based upon the above criteria will also be considered. The principal will mail official notification of potential retention to the parent or guardian at some time between January 1 and April 1. The notification will include the opportunity for a conference with the parents or guardian, teacher, and the building principal.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE

Parkway Middle School is 100% committed to the mission of the Common Core, which is to prepare all students for college or work in the 21st century. In order to achieve this goal, expectations of student behavior will be high. Students are expected to come to school each day and work together for a common goal. Horseplay and disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated!

STUDENT DISCIPLINE CODE OF CONDUCT

Every middle school student is required to follow all rules and regulations set forth by the Parkway Board of Education and Administration. Violations on the part of the student of any one or more of the following rules and regulations may result in disciplinary action, including Friday School, suspension (in-school or out-of-school), emergency removal, and/or expulsion.

grades taken during out-of-school suspension.

IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION

In-school suspension days will not count as days absent from school.

Credit will be given for all school assignments and tests completed during in-school suspension.

PEER CONFLICTS

Parkway Middle School strives to create a positive, non-threatening learning environment for all students. Despite our best efforts, there will be times of conflict amongst peers. Students who are having difficulties with other students are encouraged to see the guidance counselor. The counselor will help the student work through the issues. If the issue cannot be resolved through the counselor, the principal will become involved.

SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS

Surveillance cameras have been installed throughout the building, the surrounding areas of the school and are currently used on school busses. The images from these cameras are confidential and can be viewed by school officials only. A parent or guardian may view the images, with an administrator, only if their son or daughter is the only student on the images. If other students are on the images, their privacy rights must be protected. In the event of criminal prosecution, the images may become evidence at the trial and therefore will probably end up becoming public. Under such circumstances, the images are under the control of the courts, not the school.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Use of any electronic equipment by students shall be prohibited during school hours and on busses. Cell phones are permitted to be used before and after school when deemed appropriate for safety and transportation related issues. During school hours, cell phones and other electronic devices are to be kept in the student’s locker. Students are prohibited from having cell phones and other electronic devices on their person during school hours. When students have a cell phone on their person or out of lockers during school hours, the cell phone will be held in the principal’s office until parents pick it up and a Friday school will be assigned.

LOCKERS

A locker is assigned to each student at the beginning of the school year. Students are expected to keep their lockers clean and not to abuse them in any way. Lockers are the property of the school and may be inspected by school officials if deemed necessary. Students should be aware that the law enforcement sniff dogs might be used if the situation deems necessary. Students are not to change lockers assigned to them. Students are not to use tape or other adhesives on lockers. Pictures and other items may be posted only on the inside of the locker with the use of magnets.

SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS

A substitute teacher is an important visitor whose impression of our school will be carried into the community. Let us be certain that these are good impressions by being polite, helpful, and considerate, just as you would be to your regular teacher. Students who do not cooperate for substitute teachers may face more severe consequences for inappropriate behavior.

DAMAGED OR LOST TEXTBOOKS

The following fees will be charged to the student for lost or damaged books. It is the responsibility of each student to take reasonable care of textbooks issued to them.

ANTI-HAZING POLICY

It is the policy of the Parkway Local School Board of Education and School District that hazing activities of any type are inconsistent with the educational process and shall be prohibited at all times. No administrator, faculty member, or other employee of the school district shall encourage, permit, condone, or tolerate any hazing activities. No student, including leaders of organizations, shall plan, encourage, or engage in any hazing.

Hazing is defined as doing any act or coercing another, including the victims, to do any act of initiation into any student or other organizations that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm to any person. Permission, consent, or assumption of risk by an individual subjected to hazing does not lessen the prohibition contained in this policy.

Administrators, faculty members, and all other employees of the school district shall be particularly alert to possible situations, circumstances or events which might include hazing. If hazing or planned hazing is discovered, involved students shall be informed by the discovering school employee of the prohibition contained on this policy and shall be required to end all hazing activities immediately. All hazing incidents shall be reported immediately to the superintendent.

Administrators, faculty members, students, and all other employees who fail to abide by this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, and may be liable for civil and criminal penalties in accordance with Ohio Law.

LOOK-ALIKE DRUG/COUNTERFEIT CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE POLICY

1. No person shall knowingly possess any counterfeit substance.

2. No person shall knowingly make, sell, offer to sell, or deliver any substance the he/she knows is a counterfeit controlled substance.

3. No person shall make, possess, sell, offer to sell, or deliver any punch, dye, plate, stone, or other device knowing or having reason to know that it will be used to print or reproduce a trademark, trade names, or other identifying mark upon a counterfeit controlled substance.

4. No person shall sell, offer to sell, give, or deliver any counterfeit controlled substance to a person under the age of 18.

5. No person shall directly or indirectly represent a controlled substance by describing its effects as the physical or psychological effects associated with use of a controlled substance.

6. No person shall directly or indirectly falsely represent or advise a counterfeit controlled substance as a controlled substance.

8. Any unmarked or unlabeled substance that is represented to be a controlled substance manufactured, processed, packaged, or distributing it.

9. Any substance that is represented to be a controlled substance but is not a controlled substance or is a different controlled substance.

IMMUNIZATIONS

State law requires all students to have proper immunization against poliomyelitis, rubella, rubeola, dipheria, pertussis, tetanus, smallpox, and mumps. Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, all seventh graders must have 1 dose of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, Acellular Pertussis) or Td as a booster dose. The original series must be completed prior to the booster dose. These shots are required before they will be allowed entering the seventh grade. This is a State of Ohio vaccination requirement.

MEDICATION

All medication that students must take is to be taken to the office. Medication should be in the original prescription container with name and directions for administering. Over the counter medication is also to be kept in the office with student’s name and directions for administering. Students will not be given aspirin or other medication unless their parent or guardian has given written permission to the school nurse.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS/TELEPHONE

It is important that every student maintains an up-to date address and telephone number with the school office. Notify the office immediately for a change of address or telephone number during the school year.

MAGAZINE SALES

The middle school holds a fund raising campaign each year for magazines. The annual magazine sale will is held in January. Profits from the sale are used to provide school assemblies, field trips, and student incentives.

COOKIE DOUGH SALES

The middle school holds a cookie dough sale each year in the fall. A school account will hold all students money according to their personal amount of sales each year from grades 5 through 8. All profit from a student’s 5th through 8th grade years will be applied toward the individual student fee for the Washington DC trip as an 8th grade student. The money raised by a student who moves or choses to not go on the trip will be applied to the Washington D.C. general fund.

TELEPHONE

There is a telephone in the middle school office for student's use. It may be used by students to call home due to illness or other reasons. Permission to use the phone must be granted by a staff member.

AGENDA BOOKS

Students will be given an agenda book and are expected to carry it at all times. The primary function of the book is to record daily assignments in every class. Additional functions may include recording special events, recording grades, and recording special projects. Students are encouraged to take the agenda book home as a means of communication with parents.

Also, the agenda books are valid hall passes when signed by a teacher. Students are required to have the signed agenda book any time he or she is out of class. If the agenda book is lost or destroyed, students are required to purchase another one from the office.

RESEARCH CENTER/COMPUTER LAB

The high school library and computer lab is open on a regularly scheduled basis. The collection is constantly updated and expanded, and materials are chosen for either their educational or recreational value. Students are allowed to use the research center to read, check out books, return books, do reference work, or work on special projects. Each student may check out one or two books for a period of up to two weeks. Lost or damaged books must be paid for. Students who wish to use the library or computer lab during their study hall must have prior approval noted in their agenda book from their classroom teacher.

PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES

Parent-Teacher conferences are very valuable to the overall education program. Some parents are hesitant about participating in conferences, but our teachers can do a much better job with students if they share their understanding of the student directly with the parent. It is not necessary to wait for regular conference time if a parent has a special concern. Parent conferences are encouraged and can be arranged at any time during the school year.

ASSEMBLIES

Assemblies are offered periodically as special events on the school calendar. Some typical assembly themes include academic enhancement, cultural presentations, and professional speakers. There is often a significant investment in time and money in the preparation for an assembly program. Student attendance is a requirement, not an option. Special attention to etiquette and good citizenship is expected of all students.

DANCES AND FUN NIGHTS

The principal must approve any dance or fun night which is held in school facilities. All dances will be chaperoned by a combination of parents and teachers and must be scheduled to end by 10:00 p.m. Dances will be open to students of Parkway Middle School only.

SCHOOL LUNCH

•Closed lunch – all students remain in the building during the lunch period.

•All students eat in the commons area.

•Do not cut in the lunch line. Wait with the rest of your classmates.

•After eating, return your tray and utensils to the tray return window.

•Discard all trash properly.

•Recycle all plastic and cans in proper recycle bins.

•Clean up your area and push chairs in when leaving the commons area.

•No food or drink is to be taken out of the commons area.

•All meal money is be put on accounts before the start of the school day in the cafeteria.

•Money will not be accepted in the lunch line. Change will not be given.

•There is no charging for a’ la carte items.

Parkway offers an online service called MySchoolMoney. This service allows you to add funds by credit card to your students meal account. There is a $1.95 fee per credit card transaction. You may use the free basic package to make payments or you may purchase the premium package for a onetime fee of $10.00 per family unit. You will be able to view account balances, receive automatic low balance emails, and check food purchases. You can access this website at .

Breakfast and lunch is available to all students. Breakfast begins at 7:50 am and ends by the first bell. Breakfast is $1.25 and reduced is $.30. Lunch is $2.30, reduced is $.40. Milk is $.40 if purchased as an extra with a meal or separately.

We operate under the National School Lunch Program. There are 5 components on the tray which include: protein, grain/bread, fruit, vegetable, and milk. We use the offer vs. serve program which means students must choose 3 of the five items offered to qualify as a meal. One item chosen must be a fruit or vegetable. This is especially important for students that qualify for free or reduced priced meals. If you do not take the required 3 components that make a meal you will be charged a’ la carte prices.

If you feel you may qualify for free or reduced meals a new application must be filled out at the start of each new school year. You can apply for free or reduced priced meals anytime during the school year if your income or household size changes.

LUNCH RECESS

Middle School students are permitted to go the gym for approximately 15 minutes of the lunch period to participate in various recess activities. Participation in recess is optional and is also a privilege. Students are expected to behave in a safe, respectful manner at all times. Students who do not behave will face the following consequences:

1st Offense: 1-Day Removal from recess

2nd Offense: 3-Day Removal

3rd Offense: 5-Day Removal

4th Offense: 10-Day Removal

5th Offense: Permanent Removal

*Flagrant or deliberate actions, such as fighting, may result in discipline beyond removal from recess.

TORNADO DRILLS

Signal: At the sound of the tone or announcement, students are to go to their designated areas. Directions are posted in each room for the procedure for leaving the room.

Behavior: No talking is permitted while going to designated areas. Students are to walk, not run.

FIRE DRILLS

Signal: Fire drills are signaled by the sound of the fire bell and strobe lights. Directions are posted in each room for the procedure for leaving the room.

Behavior: No talking is permitted in the fire drill lines when leaving the building. In the event of a real fire, talking might prevent you from hearing instructions. Students are to walk, not run.

LOCKDOWN/DISASTER DRILLS

In the event of a lockdown or disaster drill, students will be notified over the PA system. Students are to follow their teacher’s directions and remain quiet throughout the drill. Students who are in the restroom or hallways are to go directly to the nearest school office. Students who are in the commons area will proceed to the auditorium.

WELLNESS PROGRAM

The Board of Education recognizes that good nutrition and regular physical activity affect the health and well-being of the district’s students. Furthermore, research suggests that there is a positive correlation between a student’s health and well-being and his/her ability to learn. In accordance to this policy, pop, candy, and gum are not permitted in Parkway Local Schools. Students who are found to have pop, gum, or candy will be assigned a Friday School.

PARKWAY ALMA MATER

We sing our praise to thee our high school never to forget thy name. To the world we’ll raise thy glory and ever strive to bring thee fame. Your black and gold we shall always see over ocean, land or where we may be. Alma Mater praises be, our dear Parkway High.

PARKWAY SCHOOL SONG

The gold and the black is our cry,

We’re fighting for our Parkway High,

Now join in the song, as the black cats go on

Rising to victory-

Now Panthers go on and attack,

We're here with our gold and our black

We'll fight with our might, for the Panthers tonight,

As we go on to victory.

Now charge on down and score the T.D.

We'll be proud as ever can be,

Rebound, dribble, pass off that ball,

Then pivot around, and shoot it and score.

Everyone let's cheer for our team,

Watch them go they're right on the beam:

Panthers fight and win tonight and

March right on to victory

ANNUAL NOTIFICATION TO PARENTS REGARDING

STUDENT RECORD AND SPECIFIC EVENTS/ACTIVITIES

STUDENT RECORDS

On June 10, 2003, the Board of Education adopted a policy regarding the disclosure of educational records and the rights of parents and students to access educational records. Copies of this policy and related guidelines are located in all school buildings and individual copies are available from the District’s Records Office (“DRO”). The DRO is responsible for the supervision of student records in the school and his office is located at 401 S. Franklin St, Rockford OH or he can be reached by calling 419-363-3045.

Each student’s records will be kept in a confidential file located at the student’s school office. The information in a student’s record file will be available for review only by parents or legal guardian of a student, adult student (eighteen (18) years of age or older), and those authorized by State and Federal law and Board policy/guidelines. State and Federal law permits access by school officials who have a legitimate educational purpose. School officials for purpose of the Board’s policy include Board members, those in administrative or supervisory positions, teachers and those under contract as instructions, substitutes, and those employed by the Board under contract to perform certain special tasks. An individual will have a “legitimate educational purpose” if inspection of the record is necessary in order for the school official/employee to perform an administrative, supervisory, or instructional task or to perform a service or benefit for the student or the student’s family.

A parent or adult student has the right to:

A. Inspect and review the student’s education records within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the request. The school has a form which can be used to submit a request. The Custodian of Records (“COR”), building principal will notify the parent or adult student of the time and place where the records can be inspected. Parents and adult students are not permitted to inspect and review the educational records of other students. If there is a valid reason why a parent or student cannot personally inspect and review a student’s educational records, or if the parent or student specifically requests copies of educational records, the COR may arrange for copies of the requested records to be delivered to the parent or student directly. The Board may charge a reasonable fee for the copying of

records.

B. Request amendments if the parent or adult student believes the record is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights. Parents or adult

students who believe that a change is necessary should immediately ask the COR to

correct the record. If the record is not changed to the parent’s or student’s satisfaction or

if the COR informs the parent or student that the record does not appear to be misleading,

inaccurate, or in violation of any privacy right, the parent or student will be asked to

submit a written statement indicating the basis for his/her request for a change. This

written statement will initiate the review

process.

C. Consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s

educational records, except to those disclosures allowed by the law. The school’s AG

8330 describes those exceptions and is available upon request.

D. Challenge the Board’s noncompliance with a parent’s request to amend the records

through a hearing. If the Custodian of Records decides not to amend the record, the

parent or adult student will be so notified and provided the opportunity for a hearing.

Additional information concerning the hearing will be provided when the individual is notified of the opportunity for a hearing.

E. Obtain a copy of the District’s policy and administrative guideline on student records

(Policy 8330 and AG 8330).

The District has designated the following information about each student as “directory information”.

(REFER TO POLICY 8330 FOR THE INFORMATION THE DISTRICT HAS DEFINED AS DIRECTORY INFORMATION.)

Each year the District will provide public notice to students and their parents of its intent to make

available, upon request, certain information known as “directory information”. The Board designates as student “directory information”: a student’s name; address; telephone number; date and place of birth; major field of study; participation in officially-recognized activities and sports; height and weight, if a member of an athletic team; dates of attendance; date of graduation; awards received; honor rolls; scholarships.

The Board will make the above information available upon a legitimate request unless a parent, guardian, or adult student notifies the School in writing within five (5) days (refer to Policy 8330) from the date of this notification that s/he will not permit distribution of any or all such information. Directory information will not be provided to any organization for any profit-making purpose.

Any parent or student who believes that the School District has failed to comply with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) or the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (RRRA), may file a complaint directly with the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20202-4605.

Parents have the right to inspect upon request any instructional material used as a part of the educational curriculum for their student. See Board Policy 2416 for the procedures for making such a request.

OHIO PARENTAL INFORMATION AND RESOURCE CENTER (Ohio PIRC).

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS OF CLASSROOM TEACHERS

As a parent of a student at Parkway Local Schools, you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct your child. Federal law allows you to ask for certain information about your child’s classroom teacher, and requires us to give you this information in a timely manner if you ask for it. Specifically, you have the right to ask for the following information about each of your child’s classroom teachers:

• Whether the Ohio Department of Education has licensed or qualified the teacher for the grades and

subjects he or she teaches?

• Whether the Ohio Department of Education has decided that the teacher can teach in a classroom

without being licensed or qualified under state

regulations because of special circumstances?

• The teacher’s college major; whether the teacher has any advanced degrees and, if so, the subject of the degrees.

• Whether any teachers’ aides or similar paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications?

If you would like to receive any of this information, please call the superintendent at 419-363-3045.

Parkway Local Schools

District Computer Network

Acceptable Use Policy

(Adopted 07/02)

1.0 Overview

Parkway Local School’s intentions for publishing an Acceptable Use Policy are not to impose restrictions that are contrary to Parkway Local Schools established culture of openness, trust and integrity. We are committed to protecting Parkway Local School's employees, students and the school district from illegal or damaging actions by individuals, either knowingly or unknowingly.

Internet/Intranet/Extranet-related systems, including but not limited to computer equipment, software, operating systems, storage media, network accounts providing electronic mail, WWW browsing, and FTP, are the property of Parkway Local Schools. These systems are to be used for educational purposes in serving the interests of the School District, students and community in the course of normal operations.

Effective security is a team effort involving the participation and support of every Parkway Local School’s employee and student who deals with information and/or information systems. It is the responsibility of every computer user to know these guidelines, and to conduct their activities accordingly. These guidelines are minimal guidelines. Individual staff members in their classrooms, labs, and Etc may enforce stricter policies.

2.0 Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to outline the acceptable use of computer equipment at Parkway Local Schools. These rules are in place to protect the employee, students, and Parkway Local Schools. Inappropriate use exposes Parkway Local Schools to risks including virus attacks, compromise of network systems and services, and legal issues.

3.0 Scope

This policy applies to employees, students, temporaries, and other workers at Parkway Local Schools, including all personnel affiliated with third parties. This policy applies to all equipment that is owned or leased by Parkway Local Schools. The Acceptable Use of the Parkway Networks is defined as follows:

1. Educational Purposes such as teacher assigned classroom activities

2. Research and career/college exploration

4.0 Policy

4.1 General Use and Ownership

1. While Parkway Local School's network administration desires to provide a reasonable level of privacy, users should be aware that the data they create (including web pages) on the district systems remains the property of Parkway Local Schools. Because of the need to protect Parkway Local School's network, management cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information stored on any network device belonging to Parkway Local Schools.

2. Employees are responsible for exercising good judgment regarding the reasonableness of personal use. If there is any uncertainty, employees should consult their Principal or Technology Coordinator.

3. For security and network maintenance purposes, authorized individuals within Parkway Local Schools may monitor equipment, systems and network traffic at any time.

4. Parkway Local Schools reserves the right to audit networks and systems on a periodic basis to ensure compliance with this policy.

4.2 Security and Proprietary Information

1. The user interface for information contained on Internet/Intranet/Extranet-related systems should be classified as either confidential or not confidential, as defined by State of Ohio and Federal Privacy Laws. Examples of confidential information include but are not limited to: Student and employee records, grades, medical information, and all other information protected by state and federal law. Employees should take all necessary steps to prevent unauthorized access to this information.

2. Keep passwords secure and do not share accounts. Authorized users are responsible for the security of their passwords and accounts. System level passwords should be changed monthly, and user level passwords should be changed every three months.

3. All PCs, laptops and workstations should be secured with a password-protected screensaver with the automatic activation feature set at 10 minutes or less, or by logging-off (control-alt-delete for Win2K users) when the host (computer) will be unattended.

4. All hosts (computers) used by the employee that are connected to the Parkway Local Schools Internet/Intranet/Extranet, whether owned by the employee or Parkway Local Schools, shall be continually executing approved virus-scanning software with a current virus database. Unless overridden by administration.

5. Employees must use extreme caution when opening e-mail attachments received from unknown senders, which may contain viruses, e-mail bombs, or Trojan horse code.

4.3. Unacceptable Use

The following activities are, in general, prohibited. Employees may be exempted from these restrictions during the course of their legitimate job responsibilities (e.g., systems administration staff may have a need to disable the network access of a host if that host is disrupting network services).

Under no circumstances is an employee or student of Parkway Local Schools authorized to engage in any activity that is illegal under local, state, federal or international law while utilizing Parkway Local Schools-owned resources.

The lists below are by no means exhaustive, but attempt to provide a framework for activities that fall into the category of unacceptable use.

System and Network Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited, with no exceptions:

1. Violations of the rights of any person or company protected by copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property, or similar laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, the installation or distribution of "pirated" or other software products that are not appropriately licensed for use by Parkway Local Schools.

6.0 Disclaimer

Parkway Local Schools and the NOACSC (Parkway’s Internet Provider) are not responsible for the accuracy or quality of information, or for any harm to students or any other person that occurs as a result of information being accessed on the World Wide Web.
