It shall be the duty of the teacher to attend all meetings called by the Superintendent, Principal or Department chairperson. No excuse, other than one that would justify absence from school, shall be acceptable for absence from staff meetings. Teachers will exercise the same attitude toward promptness that they expect from their pupils.

Teacher Preparation Period Planning periods are provided to all teachers, unless stipend approval. If you leave campus, you MUST be

cleared by your building principal. Teacher Workroom

The teacher's workroom is provided for your convenience. It is your responsibility to help keep it clean. Please do not leave cafeteria trays, food, or drinks on tables or on furniture when you leave. Please help keep the refrigerators and microwaves clean.

Teacher Absences (See negotiated agreement for more details.)

Substitute Teachers – Reporting Absences

It is the teacher’s responsibility to enter their absences into the system as soon as he/she knows the date of his/her absence(s). Please use the following procedures: 1. Using the internet system, type in: (all lower case) kellyeducationalstaffing.us SAVE THIS ON YOUR FAVORITES FOR FUTURE USE! 2. If you have never used this system, go to your grade secretaries/receptionist and have them walk you

through it. 3. You will need your ID number and your PIN. Once you have signed in, click on Create an Absence. Fill

in the information and save. 4. This system allows you to report multiple absences as well as specific hours. 5. The receptionist in the main office handles all sub/covering classes. See her for the paperwork. If for any

reason you should need to leave due to an emergency, let the receptionist know so that she can get your classes covered.

6. Each morning check with the receptionist for hours that are not covered by a sub. This is very important for first hour plan teachers to do so. It is your responsibility to have lesson plans, current

class rosters and current emergency plans (TO GO BAG) ready for the subs, anytime you are absence.

Announcements should be written in advance, giving exact information the way you want it to appear in the bulletin. Announcements should be in the office as early as possible no later than 12:00 noon the day before you want the announcement to appear in the bulletin. It will be the responsibility of each teacher to place it on the bulletin board or in a conspicuous place for student reference. Please make the students aware of the daily bulletin, especially those who do not have morning classes on campus.

Accident Reports

All student accidents must be reported promptly to the office. The teacher witnessing the accident will be responsible for filling out an accident report in the office. Please notify the office when a student needs medical attention.

When a teacher is injured on the job, he/she must notify the Administrative Service Center so that the injury will be covered by workmen's compensation. An accident report must be filled out by that teacher.

Work Orders

Always report maintenance problems in your room, any other place in the building or on campus. Please e-mail information to the appropriate principal or his/her secretary.

Housekeeping

Each of you has been assigned a room and it is your responsibility to see that it is properly used and cared for. See that your room is arranged for best learning results. See that the materials and supplies are ready when your students enter your classroom. Follow the approved standards in physical upkeep of the room; heating/cooling and lighting. Report all maintenance repairs/requests to the appropriate principal or his/her secretary.

Students should be responsible for their desks. Impress on them with the fact that it is their responsibility to see that their desks are properly cared for. If marking, carving or marring on the desk occurs, students are responsible for the desk and will be expected to make necessary repairs. Students are not to sit on tables. If this is permitted, the teacher will be responsible. Report any broken furniture or fixtures immediately to the appropriate principal or his/her secretary.

Check your room each period and at the end of each day before your students leave for waste paper, books not in their proper place, etc.

GUIDELINES ON USE OF AUDIOVISUALS IN THE CLASSROOM - SECONDARY

STATEMENT: Audiovisual resources, used appropriately and in combination with other teaching materials and techniques, can be effective teaching tools. The following guidelines will maximize the use of classroom instructional time for effective audiovisual presentations.

1. The Moore Board of Education adopts the policy of strict adherence to Copyright Law PL 94-553 in all forms of reproduction materials (i.e., print and non-print) for all school personnel. The Board of Education recommends the purchase of copyrighted materials in lieu of duplicating in any form. Board Policy 2150 Adopted 10/10/83 & Revised 7/9/07 & Revised 2/08/10

2. Any audiovisual materials to be used will be previewed before use in the classroom by the teacher.

3. Use of audiovisual materials should be confined to those which have strong correlation to the curriculum as defined by district and department guidelines and the adopted texts. (e.g., movies of plays studied or of other important works of authors studied, documentaries of presidential addresses, etc.)

4. Use of an audiovisual is warranted when specific educational objectives can best be met by its use. Its use is not justifiable when it is used as entertainment or as a reward or when the educational objectives of the lesson could best be met by other instructional methods or materials. Teachers should choose audiovisuals which would otherwise not be available to students or which students would not choose to view on their own.

5. The perfunctory showing of, for instance, a movie after studying a unit is discouraged. Each film should be judged independently and students should be encouraged to expand their imaginations and understanding through a variety of methods.

6. Any audiovisual material not catalogued with media centers must be pre-approved for showing by the principal.

7. No more than 12 hours of viewing time per school year (2 semesters) should be spent for audiovisuals. If a teacher feels that more than 12 hours are needed, he/she will make a request of the building principal, justify the additional time and get permission to use more time. (Classes which use video-taping activities for study, evaluation and/or class projects, e.g., speech, drama, simulations of newscasts, etc., should not be required to count those activities as part of their quota of audiovisual time.)

8. All departments within the school should observe/adhere to these guidelines.

*There are materials present in each building as well as at Media Services which clarify all aspects of The Copyright Law in the educational setting.

2. The appropriate form must be picked up by the student in the appropriate grade office.

3. The form must be signed by: (a) the teacher of each class, (b) a member of the library media center staff, (c) the attendance secretary, (d) the financial secretary, (e) the registrar, and (f) grade principal.

4. Grade entered on withdraw must be a numerical per cent.

5. The form must be completed and returned to the appropriate grade office secretary for final clearance.

6. Note on the withdrawal form any missing book and book number or other debts the student has incurred.

21

Homebound The following procedures have been agreed upon by a committee representing the Moore Schools

and the Homebound Program.

A. ELIGIBILITY -- A student is eligible for homebound instruction when a physician signs the homebound form stating that the student is expected to be ill and unable to attend the classroom for a period of two weeks or more.

B. NOTIFICATION OF HOMEBOUND STATUS -- The registrar will be notified by telephone as soon as the homebound office receives an approved request for homebound instruction. In addition, a list of current homebound students and students who have terminated will be supplied at two week intervals during the year.

C. ASSIGNMENTS -- As soon as an approved homebound form is received, an assignment request sheet will be filled out and distributed to the student's classroom teachers. The teachers then will fill in the assignment sheet including the present grade within 24 hours and send it and any materials necessary to the homebound box found in the Counseling Center. This enables homebound instruction to begin sooner than it would otherwise and eliminates interrupting classes for routine assignments. If the classroom teacher needs to confer with the homebound teacher, he/she can indicate this request on the form. The teacher should include a general outline (chapter numbers, etc.) of material to be covered for the entire period of time the student is expected to be out. If this is not possible, he/she should state the period of time for which the assignments are given, and send the remaining assignments when available. The homebound teachers will use these outlines in making assignments, will provide the instruction, tests, and do the grading. The student should be caught up with the class when he returns, eliminating the necessity for make-up work and special tutoring.

D. GRADING -- If a homebound student returns to school during a grading period, a termination slip with seven copies containing the student's grades will be sent to the registrar. The registrar will be responsible for distributing the copies to the individual classroom teachers. Whenever the student begins homebound after the beginning of a grading period, the classroom teacher is expected to list his prior grade on the homebound assignment form. Since this grade will be averaged with the homebound grade, please list a numerical average. The student's classroom grade will be averaged with the homebound grade according to the time spent at each program. For example, if the student was on homebound 4 weeks, 4/9ths of his grade will be determined by the homebound average and 5/9ths of his grade will be determined by the classroom average. The teacher teaching the student at the end of the grading period will have the responsibility of averaging these grades. If the student is on homebound for the entire grading period, homebound grades will go directly to the registrar. Grades for the classroom teacher's records can be obtained from the registrar. Questions about grades should be handled through the principal.

22

AP/Honors Classes Honors and Advanced Placement courses are offered in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Art, Foreign Language and Music. Moore’s Honors courses are vertically and sequentially aligned in order to prepare students for AP coursework. Therefore, a student not taking Honors in one grade level may have his/her readiness adversely affected for Honors or AP courses at the next grade level. As a result, Moore Public Schools highly recommends the Honors and AP course sequence listed below. Honors and AP courses are available to all students provided the prerequisites have been met. Students who desire more information about Honors or AP courses should contact their counselor. LANGUAGE ARTS SCIENCE 7 - Honors Reading & Lang. Arts 7 – Honors Science 8 - Honors Reading & Lang.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND DISCIPLINE

Excessive Absences A. Any extreme cases will be handled by the principal. A student who is truant from one or more classes

will be disciplined. Subsequent truancy may result in additional discipline to include but not limited to in school detention, out of school suspension, and expulsion for the remainder of the semester loss of credit for all courses and/or a letter to the Cleveland County District Attorney’s Office, Moore City Attorney, citation from the campus RSO.

B. Parents or guardians must verify absence by personally notifying the school the day of the absence. Notes will NOT be accepted. THE PRINCIPAL WILL MAKE THE FINAL DECISION CONCERNING UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. The offices can be notified between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Attendance Policy Each student is encouraged to be in class every class period. There is no way that a school can be expected to teach the student as much as is necessary if the student is not in class. Any student who misses a class for more than ten (10 1/2) days (combination of absences and tardies) will receive an NC, no correct, if his/her grade is 60% or higher – “F” if grade is 59% or lower, for the semester.

Grade cards that are sent to parents at the end of each semester will show the number of days missed in each class. The following exceptions will not count against the student with respect to the attendance policy:

1. Any event that is approved as a school activity. 2. Any illness that is substantiated by a doctor's statement. After a student is ill for three

consecutive days, his/her parents should request homebound instruction for the duration of the illness.

3. Any day a student serves as a Page for the State or National Legislature, providing this time served does not exceed five school days.

4. A court subpoena.

Out-Of-Town Trips Should it become necessary that a student be absent from school because his/her family is going out

of town, we require that the parents/guardian of the student contact his/her grade principal regarding the absence(s). Once the parent/guardian has contacted his/her grade principals, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT TO:

1. Get a note from his/her grade principal regarding the upcoming absence(s) and take the note to each of his/her teachers.

2. Get all homework assignments that will be missed during the absence(s) and a deadline date from each teacher for turning the work in after the absence(s).

Should the student fail to make arrangements with his/her teachers about making up work missed BEFORE the absence, no make-up work will be accepted. The final decision regarding the making up of work will be made by his/her grade principal according to circumstances.

Permit to Leave School Students cannot leave campus at any time during a school day without a permit from his/her grade

principal's office. Failure to follow this procedure will be considered as truancy. Freshmen may not leave campus during their lunch period. Under no circumstance are students to run off-campus errands for teachers during school hours. Suspension from School

During the time a pupil is suspended, he/she is excluded from all school activities, including extracurricular activities. May not attend any Moore Public School function while on suspension.

24

STUDENT BEHAVIOR

The student body of Moore High School is composed of young men and women of whom the entire faculty and staff are proud. However, in our school society there may be some instances when good conduct and/or proper consideration of the rights of others are not followed. For example:

1. A student shall not cause damage to private property either on school grounds or during a school activity function, or school event off the school grounds.

2. A student shall not intentionally do bodily injury to any person, or to be involved in bullying (Board Policy 7265, State Law HB 2215/SB 992), intimidation, harassment, or extortion.

3. A student shall not exhibit any conduct that is likely to disrupt any educational process.

4. Verbal abuse or profanity will not be tolerated.

When evidence is presented wherein a student's behavior fails to comply with school policies and regulations, some type of measure or measures will be used as a means of attempting to change the student behavior in question.

DISCIPLINE The purpose of discipline is to change negative behavior. The most meaningful discipline for young

people is self -discipline. The classroom is a place to learn. No one has the right to prevent anyone from learning.

The teacher must never slap or hit a student. The student will be brought to the office and a principal will determine the appropriate punishment to be administered. Teachers will not administer "swats".

A. The teacher is to make every effort to correct inappropriate behavior of students. Should these attempts fail, the following steps are to be taken and appropriate *documentation* completed:

(1) Warning (2) Conference with student, contact with parents, and assignment of some form of discipline.

(3) Conference with parents, counselor, and student. Some form of discipline contract and/or Discipline is assigned.

(4) Referral to appropriate assistant principal.

*Appropriate documentation includes date, time, a brief description of incident, and assigned discipline/copy of contract. Date of parental contact should also be documented.

B. If the teacher has not been able to modify the behavior by using the above procedure, the next step is referral to the appropriate assistant principal, along with a record of all efforts made to that point. Any of the following steps may be used by the assistant principal:

(1) Conference with teacher and student (2) Detention (3) Contract drawn up with student (4) Conference with parents (5) Referral to appropriate counselor and/or proper agency (6) In-school detention (7) Short-term suspension

C. If the behavior continues the assistant principal may refer the student to the principal where the following steps can occur;

(1) Contract with the student (2) Out of School Pending Investigation (3) Suspension - long term (Continue on next page) (4) Expulsion (5) Referral to proper agency/counseling

.

25

DISCIPLINE—continued… D. There are certain extreme behavioral situations that may necessitate bypassing the initial disciplinary steps and proceeding to short or long term suspension and/or expulsion from school.

1. Immorality, profanity, obscenity as defined by the statutes of Oklahoma. 2. Consistent violation of written school rules, regulations or policies. 3. Possession, threat, or use of a dangerous weapon as defined by the State Statutes. 4. Assault and battery. 5. Possession of any narcotic drug, drug paraphernalia, stimulant, barbiturate, or alcohol. 6. Conduct which jeopardizes the safety of others. 7. Conduct calculated to disrupt the operation of the school. 8. Habitual truancy. 9. Membership by students in secret clubs, fraternities, sororities or other secret organizations

which is prohibited. 10. Fighting. 11. Vandalism.

Certain situations will also necessitate contacting local law enforcement (Campus RSO) for assistance and/or documentation.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Counselors should be utilized fully when dealing with students.

2. Documentation of classroom discipline matters is essential.

3. When a student misbehaves the teacher should: a) Discuss the matter with the student privately b) Discuss the matter with the counselor and then refer the student to the counselor. c) Contact the parent as soon as possible. d) Discipline the child.

4. Any variation of these steps should be taken before sending the student to his/her grade principal (except in severe cases).

5. After following your discipline plan - and if all else fails - refer the student to his/her grade principal.

6. Never send a student to the office unless you have filled out a Disciplinary Referral Form filled out by you which indicates steps already taken to correct the behavior.

7. Be firm, fair and consistent.

8. Visit with student’s grade principal early whenever you anticipate problems.

9. Do not wait until your patience is exhausted to discipline a student.

10. Do not send a student to stand in the hall where he/she can get into additional trouble.

11. Final disposition of disciplinary matter will be made by the appropriate principal.

THE BEST CLASS MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE IS MEANINGFUL & ENGAGING ON-TASK TIME (55 MINUTES). STUDENTS HAVE NO TIME FOR OFF-TASK BEHAVIORS WHEN THEY ARE ACTIVELY LEARNING. USE 55 MINUTES FOR INSTRUCTION.

26

In-School Detention 1. The principals will refer the students to In-School Detention. The principal or assistant principal, the

in-school detention teacher, and the parents will be involved.

2. The grading procedures will be as follows: a. Upon request the classroom teachers will prepare the lesson assignments and give to the

student. b. The I.S.D. teacher will be responsible for collecting the assignments and seeing that the student

completes the assignments. c. The student will return the completed assignments to the appropriate classroom teacher. d. The classroom teacher will be responsible for grading the assignments and issuing a grade.

3. The length of stay will be determined by the principal or assistant principal, which will be based on the student's progress, attitude, and achievement while in the program.

4. A suggestion for evaluating the program would be to assess the attitude and progress of the student after returning to the classroom.

5. Outside agencies may be involved when laws have been violated.

6. The following are policies related to I.S.D classroom control: a. There will be no "set time" for the length of the class period. The class length will be decided by

the I.S.D. teacher. b. Breaks will be given at the I.S.D. teacher's discretion. c. Students will be completely isolated from the student body. The students will have separate

lunch hours, breaks, etc. d. The maximum class size will be 15 students. e. Discipline of the students will be handled by the I.S.D. instructor, and if further problems arise,

the student will be forwarded to the grade principal. f. Student records will be kept on each student by the I.S.D. instructor.

7. Students will not be allowed to leave the premises for lunch. Students may bring their lunch and/or eat in the cafeteria.

8. The principals, school counselors, and the I.S.D. instructor should be involved in formulating the program.

9. We believe that the main factor that we should consider is why the student is not functioning in the classroom and set our goals toward improving their ideas and attitudes. Some factors that might be considered are: communication breakdown between the teacher and student, other outside problems the student might have, i.e., family problems, job problems, and involvement with drugs.

10. The following are ways of fostering positive behavior: Attempt to improve the attitude of the students. Try to impress on them the fact of how important their education will be to them in the future. Motivate them to do a better job. Get the students involved in other activities. Give them something to strive for.

Additional Comments:

A student may be sent to the in-school restriction one time per semester. If a student does not show for the in-school restriction program, the parents are notified and further disciplinary action will be taken.

27

ACTIVITIES Assemblies

There will be several assemblies from outside sources with no charge to the students. We will also plan to have assemblies presented by our student body. This is a very important part of our educational program. Students and teachers will attend the assemblies. Realizing some students cannot attend, a place will be provided for them.

Activity Regulations

All school activity trips must be scheduled with the principal. Those trips will be made in school vehicles unless otherwise authorized. Students must be in school the day of a school activity or the day before, if the activity falls on a non-school day, in order to participate in the school activity. A student cannot go on an activity if he/she has an ”F” in a class which will be missed during the school day in order to participate in the activity. The sponsor should check grades two weeks prior to the trip.

Sponsors are responsible for requisitioning buses at least 10 working days previous to the scheduled event.

Sponsors will be responsible to compile the final activity list on the appropriate form and place it in the grade principal's offices the afternoon before departure.

When field or school-related trips are planned, all students must go and return on school buses, unless other arrangements are designated. Arrangements may be made with the sponsor of the organization for students to return from an activity with their parents. When students are on a school activity, they are to follow all school rules as though they are on campus. Violations of school rules will result in the same discipline as used while at school.

Scholastic Eligibility A student must have received a passing grade in any five subjects counted for graduation that he/she

was enrolled in during the last semester he/she attended fifteen or more days. If a student does not meet the above minimum scholastic standard he/she will not be eligible to participate during the first six weeks of the next semester they attend.

2. If the call was not received originally by the fire and police departments, immediate notification is required. Both departments should respond.

3. A search of the building or premises should be conducted under the direction of the senior officer present from

either protective department. All officers, fire-fighters, and custodians of the building should assist in the search.

4. Circumstances will dictate whether any strange or foreign objects should be removed immediately or left for

removal by a qualified person.

5. If a thorough search has been conducted and nothing found, the principal of the school or building should be notified by the senior member of the local protective department that re-entry will be permitted.

6. Investigation of the incident should be made by the local police department assisted by the State Fire Marshal's

office, if requested.

Any decision concerning the dismissal of school students and subsequent action after the above procedures have been followed is the prerogative of the Superintendent.
