2. Student Handbook review
Attached is a copy of the current handbook review.
We will discuss any recommendations for changes or adjustments. A final copy of the handbook must be submitted by June 22. Feel free to review prior to the meeting.
There are some changes with fees, etc, but make sure we are saying what we mean, and meaning what we say.
Fighting a losing battle with the leggings
If we leave the leggings in, then we need to add the yoga pants
We have not heard the rumblings about the leggings as much lately
What we can do leave it in or take it out and take it before the whole staff and let the staff decide. Will still create dissention
Tank tops—not allowed
Advantage of leaving it in and then we can take it out if the staff votes on it .
Comfortable making a decision today?
The crux of the matter is if the body is revealed.
We are not suggesting taking the article worn over.
Are we consistent with the procedure sending them home verses sending them back and not wearing them home tomorrow?
Supposed to go to 712 in the mornings—(admins not there) get the main office people on board.
Sometimes kids change during the day
Supposed to be documented on the “pink form”
Motion to leave it in and take it to the staff and re-emphasize that there needs to be consistency in enforcing
Training the office staff for consistency
We will be taking to staff about leggings, and tank top lines
Supply list is never approved until after the handbook needs to be published
Jackie should talk to Carol M. about the Supply list (ear buds)
Principals could send home request in the packet
Ear buds should be kept in book bag not as apparel
Leave hallway behavior in case adjustments to CHAMPS? No
String bag not carried to core but can be carried to encore
EC kids having issues with lockers especially in 6th grade –kids are seeing this and then they want to use back packs
Some kids who have trouble with locks
Late comers bringing book bags, what about them?
Need to keep just verbalize and talk about as a staff
String bags just for encore or maybe for 6th grade because of going into and out of PODS (rainy days) All 6th grade would have to be on this page
Book bag carriers who don’t have a lock need to have that brought to the attention of an administrators
Or leave book bag in the classroom?
Encourage students to carry string bag not require it
Next year, If fees do not appear on the district fees, then we cannot require it
Can not require for example for them to wear a PE suit.
Also can not require students to buy a lost or stolen agenda, and teachers will have to have a consistent type of hall pass.
ACC folder --cannot require the re-purchase another one
