Attendance

The State Education Department requires the school to keep an accurate record of every pupil’s attendance. Students arriving late to school three days in any given week must return to school with a parent. All students are required to bring in a written absence or tardy note upon arriving to school. The note should be from the parents or guardians.

The note should include the following:

• Date of absence/tardiness

• Reason for absence/tardiness

• Signature of parent or guardian

• All attendance issues should be discussed through the attendance department and guidance.

The State of New York requires every student to attend school every day unless he/she has a legal excuse. Parents should report student absence to the Lincoln High School Attendance Office at 376-8400 ext. 5140 by 8:00 a.m. A very poor record of attendance can severely deter a child from achieving the level of skills and knowledge required for success in the next grade.

CLASS ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ATTENDANCE IS ACCURATE AND THAT ALL ATTENDANCE SHEETS ARE TURNED IN AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME IN ORDER FOR THE SYSTEM TO WORK.

• Attendance is taken every period. (on the computer after approximately 10 minutes after the ringing of the 2nd bell)

• If a student arrives late to class he/ she will be marked late with the time recorded.

• In addition, all teachers should be keeping a daily attendance log for their own records.

• Please ensure that attendance is taken daily and accurately, as it is a legal document.

ILLEGAL ABSENCES FROM SCHOOL OR A CLASS

TRUANCY

Any student who has been found to be illegally absent from school for all or a significant part of the day will have his/her parents and or guardians notified. The student will be informed verbally or in writing the following morning that he/she has an illegal absence. Parents and/or guardians will also be notified. Subsequent absences will result in suspension and parent conference or further disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by the administration.

INDIVIDUAL CLASS CUTS

Students are not permitted to be absent from any class without prior approval from the teacher. If a student needs to go to guidance or the nurse, etc., the student’s subject teacher must supply the pass. Any student who has cut a class will be required to serve a one day In House Suspension.

After continuous class cuts, a student will be SUSPENDED and will require a parent conference with the administration.

TARDINESS

LATENESS TO CLASS – LOITERING IN THE HALLS

Classes at Lincoln High School start promptly at the bell. The time between periods is three minutes. Students are to be in their seats and ready for work. Failure to comply will result in the student serving an after school detention.

Student Absence Report

Please use this form to:

• Record students who are absent three or more consecutive days

• Document parent contact regarding the absences

• Note erratic attendance patterns

No Shows

1. A no-show is a student who has not attended this year, was not in the district last year, and cannot be located after attempts to contact by phone, letter or Outreach Worker. This does not include students who have shown up and disappeared.

2. For Period 1 – if a student does not show up for the first five (5) days, you must try to contact family for disposition. If no contact can be made, a letter must be sent as soon as possible. Contact your Outreach Worker who will have responsibility for investigating further.

3. When a No-Show student is confirmed by the Outreach Worker, then transfer the student out to the destination identified, e.g. to another district or parochial school. If a student is new or re-registered after a lapse of a least one full academic year, then transfer the student out to destination “895”. This special unit code means the student never appeared in your building and provides a way, centrally to track occurrences. This special code can be used only during period 1.

Contact the Special Education Department regarding all Special Education students who have not appeared in your building. Remember that all in-district changes for disabled students can only be initiated by the Special Education Department. The building can process transfers only if Special Education students are confirmed as leaving the district.

Schools are accountable for student absences. If no shows are not found by the end of Period 1“No Show Registers” are not permitted. All students enrolled must be accounted for in school attendance.

SCHOOL CONDUCT

&

CODE

LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL

“We Care…We Learn…We Lead”

Appropriate Attire Required

“One of the reasons we have schools is for student to learn what is appropriate. Young people learn what is appropriate in society by looking at their adult role models. Your dress and your behavior are what young people will take to be appropriate.” ~ Harry K. Wong

Students are required to attend school appropriately dressed in clothing that meets health and safety standards and does not interfere with their education, distract others, or interfere with the educational process of the school. Students not adhering to the following dress code will be required to modify their appearance by covering or removing the offending items or if necessary or practical by replacing the objectionable items with acceptable ones. If the clothing cannot be modified in school, the student’s parent/guardian will be contacted and the student will be sent home to change clothes. Any student who fails to comply with the dress code will be subject to disciplinary action.

• Clothes must suitably cover the body. Skirts and shorts must be of an appropriate length. Tube tops cannot be worn. Pants must be fastened at the waist and the legs must be of equal length.

• Footwear designed to accommodate shoelaces must be worn with the laces tied. NO HOUSE SLIPPERS ALLOWED!

• Clothing which promotes products or activities prohibited by school policy and likely to cause a disruption in school is not allowed. T-shirts and other clothing that display abusive language, profanity, illegal organizations, or identified as a symbol of a gang cannot be worn.

• All clothing that is considered “outer wear” is not to be worn during the school day and should be placed in the student’s locker.

• Jewelry that may be deemed as a weapon is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, rings covering multiple fingers, spiked necklaces or belts, belts with large removable buckles, chain-like neckwear, etc.

• Students may not wear any headgear or hats. The only headgear that is acceptable is that which is worn by a student’s recognized religion or for medical reasons.

• Students are required to wear appropriate protective gear in certain classes such as technology, physical education, home economics, and science.

School Conduct and Discipline Code

Discipline is most effective when it deals with the problem at the time and place it occurs, and in a way that students view as fair and impartial. School personnel who interact with students are expected to use disciplinary action only when necessary and to place emphasis on the students’ ability to grow in self-discipline.

Disciplinary action, when necessary, will be firm fair and consistent so as to be the most effective in changing student behavior. In determining the appropriate disciplinary action, school personnel authorized to impose disciplinary penalties will consider the following:

1. Seriousness of the offense

2. Student’s age

3. Frequency of misconduct

4. Student’s intent

5. Potential effect of the misconduct on the school environment

6. State law requirements for certain disciplinary consequences

As a general rule, discipline will be progressive. This means that a student’s first violation will usually merit a lighter penalty than subsequent violations.

Level I – Engage in Conduct that is Insubordinate

Examples: Violating school or classroom rules; cheating/copying; unexcused lateness; cutting class; not being prepared for class; disrupting the classing; failing to deliver or return communications between home and school, leaving class without permission, inappropriate display of affection, eating in the classroom, horseplay, failure to display school I.D.

Disciplinary Options: verbal reprimand, conference, parent/guardian notification, detention.

Level II – Engage in Conduct that is Disorderly/Disruptive

Examples: repeated misbehavior (level 1), verbal disrespect, disruptive behavior on school bus, running, leaving school grounds, repeated cafeteria disturbance, disrespecting school property or property of another student, smoking, disruptive behavior that continually interrupts instruction.

Disciplinary Options: student/teacher conference, parent/guardian contact by phone, written referral to administrator, removal of substantially disruptive students.

Level III – Engage in Conduct that Endangers the Morals, Health and Welfare of students and staff

Examples: fighting, threats, boycott, sit-in, trespassing, walkout, gambling, hazing, all types of harassment, promotion of any behavior prohibited by the Code of Conduct, defamation, forging parental signatures, gang participation, possession or using alcohol

Disciplinary Options: suspension 1 -2 school days, administrator/student/parent/teacher conference, Superintendent’s Hearing for repeat offenses.

Level IV – Engage in Conduct that is Violent/Dangerous

Examples: possession or use of a weapon, placing a person in fear of physical injury, selling, giving or delivering alcoholic beverage or dangerous drug, intentionally damaging or destroying property of a student, teacher or administrator, graffiti or arson, defacing, vandalizing or destroying property of others or school, possession of fireworks, “poppers,” smoke or stink bombs or any other volatile chemical, any felony, bomb threats, sexual offenses, theft, false alarm.

STUDENT MANAGEMNT

ORGANIZATION

PRINCIPAL

Assistant Principals

Counselors

Teachers

Students

Classroom discipline is a key responsibility of the classroom teacher. Good discipline in the classroom ensures an environment that is conducive to learning and reduces conflict. Documentation of all action related to discipline must be maintained by the teacher.

MAJOR SCHOOL CONFLICTS

The classroom teacher should call for assistance whenever a situation arises where a student may cause harm to himself or others. Documentation of these occurrences, including a Referral Form, should be completed.

When initiating a referral, please write it up objectively on the reverse side of the appropriate form. State exactly what happened, quoting language used when necessary. Statements such as “you name it, he did it,” or “… is totally uncontrollable,” are inappropriate because they do not state what happened. Give the facts as they occurred. List specific interventions you have used with that student, including dates.

Never tell an offending student what his/her punishment will be unless you are the one employing that intervention (i.e., classroom detention). It would be unfortunate if you tell a student that he/she will be suspended but the offense does not truly merit it. If you are taking the action, then clearly state that to the student. If the offense requires referral to the administration, rest assured that we will follow the guidelines outlined and will provide feedback to you.

A student should be referred to the administrator after repeated classroom disturbances or serious behavioral occurrences within the building.

The administrator will act on all referrals by:

1. accepting referral forms from staff members and evaluating situation(s).

2. setting up conference with student.

3. contacting/communicating with parent and arranging conferences if necessary.

4. contacting/communicating with the guidance counselor.
