E-MAIL PRIVACY
PAGE 6
ENTERING SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME Students shall have no expectation of privacy when using district e-mail or devices. E-mail messages shall be used only for approved educational purposes. Students must use appropriate language in all messages. The school retains the right to monitor and duplicate any information created by students on any district device. Students who violate these rules, or any other classroom rules relating to technology use are subject to disciplinary action up to and including suspension from school. State law requires that children entering school for the first time must have a birth certificate; show evidence of Kansas required immunizations unless there are special medical or religious reasons; and children 8 years of age or younger must have a Health Assessment completed by a physician within 90 days of enrollment. The Board of Education is required by law to prohibit entrance to school to any student who does not comply with the immunization act. Kindergarten students must be 5 years old on or before August 31. All classroom assignments are tentative and changes may be made to best meet the needs of the student. EXPECTATIONS FOR SCHOOL SPONSORED ACTIVITIES All school-sponsored functions, including those held at sites other than the school, shall be drug and alcohol free. Possession, distribution or sale of drugs, drug paraphernalia, inhalants, alcohol, tobacco or any materials (facsimiles) that give the appearance of alcohol, tobacco, or other controlled substance or other illegal substances is not permitted. Students and their guests, regardless of age, are to arrive free of these substances. Those who disregard these expectations will be excluded from the event and will be subject to the disciplinary action that may include one or more of the following:
• Parent Notification, • Police involvement, • Suspension or expulsion: and or, exclusion from future extracurricular activities.
FACILITY USAGE
School facilities belong to the district and ultimately the taxpayers of our community. We strive daily to keep our school and grounds clean, attractive, and safe. We encourage parents, students, and the community to help in this endeavor. Building rentals are scheduled at http://www.usd450.net/community/facility-rentals With parent supervision, students are welcome to use the playground after school and on weekends. Unauthorized activities will be reported to law enforcement. FIREARMS/WEAPONS Possession of firearms, weapons, and destructive devices, as defined in the Federal Gun Free School Act, and School Policy will result in suspension, expulsion, and prosecution. The Shawnee Heights Board of Education has adopted a policy (reference JCDC, JCDCA, JCDCA-R) which states that a student shall NOT possess, handle, or transmit any object that can reasonably be considered a weapon on the school grounds or off the school grounds at a school activity, function, or event. This policy shall include any weapons, any item being used as a weapon or destructive device, or facsimile of a weapon. Please discuss with your child that pocket knives, water guns, play guns, fireworks, laser pointers, mace, as well as “real” weapons are NOT to be brought to school. Infractions of this policy will result in a parent/student consultation with the principal to determine the consequences.
