Student Behavioral Expectations

Discipline: Rules and regulations governing st= udent behavior at North Wilkes High School may be summed up by saying that doing = the right thing and behaving in a civil manner will keep you on the right track. Disturbing the peacefu= l and orderly operation of North Wilkes High School is an offense that will be met with swift penalties. In the = event that students behave in unacceptable ways, our discipline program provides opportunities for our students to be counseled and taught regarding their behavior. Consequences for se= rious infractions of rules will come swiftly and will be consistent from student = to student.

A progressive discipline program provides that classroom discipline problems = be addressed by teachers using every method of correction at their disposal be= fore referring students to the office. Generally, teachers will counsel students about their unacceptable behavior, notify parents of the problem, assign students to short afternoon= detentions with the teacher, have conferences with the parents, make referrals to the guidance counselors and other support personnel, and work to make a plan wi= th the student which will correct the behavior. The principal may seek exclusi= on from school altogether for the rare student who continually disrupts school= or whose presence is determined to be detrimental to the safe and orderly operation of the school (see WCS discipline policy).

Discipline Procedure General Outline

Teachers work with students to make a plan&agrav= e;Teachers, students, paren= ts, counselors work together. Steps on the legal PP8 document are followed= .
Time-OutàMay be assigned period by period by the administration to relieve temporarily disruptive situati= ons.
Saturday Detentionà held once a month, 8am to 12 noon. Assignments= may be made by the teacher or administration.
After-School DetentionàAssigned by teacher or administration in an attempt to address rules infractions in the classrooms. May occur with teacher or in after-school.

*Some of the other unacceptable behaviors that will result in disciplinary action include gambling, vandalism, being in unauthorized areas including parking areas without permission, parking violations, disruptive behavior in class = or at assemblies, profanity and obscenity, and other acts that disrupt the safe and orderly operation of the school. Rules

and standards that govern the ope= ration of North Wilkes High School are also in effect on field trips and at athlet= ic and other extracurricular events.

Student Dress / Attire

Stu= dents are encouraged to express modesty in their attire and to take pride in their personal appearance. Dress af= fects the quality of our school, school climate, student conduct, and student performance. Select acceptable dress for school and remember that you are in school and the climate must be conducive to learning. Any st= udent whose dress or appearance is considered to distract from the learning environment must alter their appearance.

&= nbsp;

Revealing and/or provocat= ive clothing is considered inappropriate.
No cleavage or undergarme= nts should be visible.
No: “Sophie” shorts; bandanas, gaping underarms, torn or cutoff sleeves
Hats/caps will not be wor= n on campus during school hours.
Sunglasses and headwear, = such as do-rags, hoods, sweat bands, and toboggans are not to be worn in the buildings.
Shorts, skirts, and skorts shall be of modest length. The length of these articles of clothing sh= all be no shorter than three inches above the top of the knee when standin= g.
Holes in jeans are strong= ly discouraged and will not be allowed if the hole appears three inches or more above the knee.
No extremely oversize pan= ts or shorts. Pants and shorts must be worn above the hips – no saggin= g.
Shirts will cover shoulde= rs (a minimum of 3” wide on the shoulder)
Obscene, offensive, or suggestive clothing are not acceptable.
Clothing that advertises alcoholic products, drugs, or other illegal substances are prohibited. <= /span>
Additional examples of unacceptable dress include exposed underwear, midriffs, tank tops, sle= ep pants, pajamas, and house slippers.
Any symbols, styles or at= tire associated with gangs, intimidation or violence are prohibited.
Piercings: Except for the normal piercing of the ear, we prohibit any oral, facial, or visible b= ody piercing that contain affixed jewelry, rods, rings, studs, or any other device. This also includ= es tongue piercing.

Students who wear unacceptable clothing must report to the administration and will be asked to change the clothing at school, if possible, or call to the parent = to bring a change before returning to class. Failure to comply with the dress = code policy may result in After School Detention, ALA, OSS and/or Saturday detention.

Displays of Affection

Romantic behavior of intimate nature should be reserved for private situations away = from school. Students are expected= to follow the rule of nothing more than holding hands with your boy and girl friends. North Wilkes is a pu= blic school and contact considered too intimate is unacceptable (e.g. kissing, b= ody to body contact, etc….). Consequences may include warnings, after sch= ool detention, or ISS.

Tobacco

Tobacco products are not permitted on campus, or at any school-related events. Possession and/or use of any kind = of tobacco product will result in a progression of disciplinary actions to include: Saturday detention, In School Suspension, Out of School Suspension. Students will also be required to counsel with the tobacco prevention specialist. Wilkes County Schools is a Tobacco Free School system. No smoki= ng or smokeless tobacco should be used on the campus during any event, or at a= ny time by students, employees, parents, etc….Thank you for helping Wilk= es County Schools promote good health habits, and a safe environment, for our young people.

Substance Abuse Policy

The Wilkes County School System recognizes that students often need education, assistance, and support because of their own drug use/abuse or because of d= rug related problems in those they care about.= Many students will require support for their decision to remain drug-free. Since chemical dependency is preceded by the abuse of alcohol or other drugs, the school system wishes to provide educational support and/or assistance to any student displaying signs of harmful involvement.

Drug education will be a part of the curriculum at all grade levels K-12 that wi= ll demonstrate to students the consequences of alcohol and drug abuse and the means of avoiding such abuse. In addition, all students will be required to adhere to the substance abuse policy.

No student shall possess, use transmit or be under the influence of any narcot= ic drug, hallucinogenic drug, amphetamine, barbiturate, marijuana or any other controlled substance or any alcoholic beverage, malt beverage or fortified = wine or other intoxicating liquor, or possess, use or transmit drug paraphernali= a or counterfeit drugs, or inhale or ingest any chemicals or products with the intention of bringing about a state of exhilaration or euphoria or of other= wise altering the student’s mood or behavior.

Copies of this policy will be made available to each student and his parent or guardian at the beginning of each school year.

Attendance

*No= te: Students absent on a given day may not participate in after-school activiti= es including athletics, dances, clubs, etc….

Pub= lic Law 115-C-378 requires that every parent, guardian, or other person in the State having charge or control of a child between the ages of 7 and 16 to make certain that the child attends school continuously as long as school is in session. It is illegal for any person to encourage, entice or counsel any child to be absent from school unlawfully.

Par= ents and guardians are required to notify the school of the reason for the absences = of the children under their control.

The principal or superintendent has the right to excuse a child from temporary absence at school for sickness or other unavoidable causes that do not conf= lict with State law.

The principal, or his designee, shall notify parents when students accumulate excessive absences. Excused a= nd Unexcused absences count toward the total number of absences for a student. Making up time cannot eliminate ab= sences but does allow for the make-up of missed school work.

Ten= , or more, unexcused absences in a given school year will result in a principal = review of a report, or investigation, prepared under G.S. 115C-381 and the princip= al will confer with the parent, guardian and/or custodian to determine if they have received notification pursuant to this section and made a good faith effort to comply with the law. Evidence that shows that the parents, guardian or custodian were notified and that the child has accumulated ten absences that cannot be justified under the established attendance policies of the local board shall establish a prima facie case that the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian is responsible for the absences.

Jud= icial proceedings may result.

Absence Limitations

= Unexcused absences: Time (45 minutes per 90 minutes) m= issed in classes due to unexcused absences must be made up along with the missed school work. The time limitat= ion for making up this time and work is established by the teacher but is not to extend beyond one school day more than the number of days missed due to an unexcused absence unless approved by the principal (i.e. student missed two days; time and work must be made up within three school days after returnin= g). Teachers may use after-school, or extended day, to facilitate make-up time/work for students. If time is not made up then the st= udent will receive a zero (0) for the missed assignments. Students will be able to make up m= ajor tests. At press time we are n= ot sure about funding of extended day classes.

*Se= e above for General Statute limitations on unexcused absences.

= Excused absences: Students with excused absences wil= l be allowed to make up work immediately. Students that accumulate more than 6 absences per semester (excused = or unexcused) will be required to make up time (45 minutes per 90 minute period missed) for each additional absence beyond six. This is applicable to each class.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> In rare circumstances the principa= l may excuse excessive absences with proper doctor excuses and/or special situations. All requests must= be submitted at time of absence(s) in writing to the principal’s attenti= on.

= Acceptable reasons for absences that may be excused are:

· Personal injury or illness

· Quarantine or isolation

· Death in the immediate family

· Medical or dental appointments (please stagger to student’s academic interest= )

· Court or administrative proceedings

· Religious observance

· Educational opportunity (only with prior approval from the principal-will be unexcused until time & work is made up)

Note<= span style=3D'font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>: Family vacations, absences for wor= k, weddings, family reunions and the like are not excusable absences, although parents may choose to keep student out of school for these and other similar reasons, they are not excusable under N.C. state law.

Tea= chers will keep records of excused and unexcused absences for each of their classes. All unexcused, and excessive, absences must be made up hour for hour in after-school hours with the teacher, in extended day or in other ways approved by the principal. *The principal will have the optio= n to require a written doctor’s note for students that chronically use illness, injury or sickness as a reason for absence.

Absent from School / Absent from Class

A s= tudent must be present for two complete class periods to be considered present in school for a given day. It is possible to be present in one or more classes for a given day and yet be ab= sent from school on that same day. This is important to remember in determining after-school activities you wish to participate in.

Attendance Incentive

The principal has employed a special examination exemption incentive to encoura= ge students to attend school regularly and to value the significance of attendance. Exam exemption standards are as follows:

A student may be exempted= from a specific course final exam if the student has written permission from the parent, guardian or custodian to allow exemption, has earned at le= ast a “C” average for the course during the semester and who:<= o:p>

Misses no more than six = class periods per term with an “A” average.
Misses no more than four= class periods per term with a “B” average.
Misses no more than two = class periods per term with a “C” average.

Any student that qualifie= s for exam exemption may choose to take the exam.
School-related absences a= nd tardies will not count against a student’s exam exemption.<= /o:p>
A student’s privile= ge to be exempted under this policy will be forfeited if the student has been assigned to after-school detention, extended day, re-assignment or out-of-school suspension for disciplinary actions.
Reminder: No student may be exempt from= N.C. End of Course Exams. Tea= chers will inform you if your class is scheduled for an EOCT.
