ATTENDANCE POLICY 2004-2005 File: JH
PHILOSOPHY
One criteria of a student's success in school is regular and punctual attendance. Frequent absences may lead to poor academic work, lack of social development, and possible academic failure. Regular attendance is of utmost importance for school interest, social adjustment, and scholastic achievement. No single factor may interfere with a student's progress more quickly than frequent tardiness or absence. Initially, the responsibility to attend school rests with the students. Ultimately however, the responsibility to insure that the student has good attendance rests with the parent. According to state law, it is the obligation of every parent to insure that every child under his care and supervision receives adequate education and training and, if of compulsory attendance age, attends school. Continuity in the learning process and social adaptation is seriously disrupted by excessive absences. In most situations, the work missed cannot be made up adequately. Students who have good attendance generally achieve higher grades, enjoy school more, and are more employable after leaving school. For at least these reasons, the Board believes that a student must satisfy two basic requirements in order to earn full class credit: (1) satisfy all academic requirements, and (2) exhibit good attendance habits as stated in this policy. Schools will inform the parents of the student's attendance patterns and advise them that the student's education is being jeopardized by poor attendance.

ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to enroll at the beginning of the school year, to attend regularly, and to be prompt in arriving at school and at each class during the day. Incentive programs shall recognize and reward those students with perfect or exemplary attendance.

ABSENCES
The building principal or his designee will grant excused absences with substantiated reason.

1. A student is temporarily ill or injured or whose absence is approved by the administrator of the school of attendance on a prearranged basis. Prearranged absences shall be approved for appointments or circumstances which cannot be taken care of outside of school hours.
2. A student who is absent for an extended period due to physical, mental or emotional disability.
3. A student who is pursuing a work-study program under the supervision of the school.
4. A student who is attending any school-sponsored activity or activities of an educational nature with advance approval by the administration.

The following may be considered excused absences at the discretion of the principal or designee:

1. Serious illness or death in the family.
2. Family emergencies or hardship.
3. Family vacations. (While discouraged, such excuses should be prearranged with the school administration. If a student has poor attendance or poor academic performance, a principal may deny an excused absence for vacation purposes.)
4. Religious observances when requested by a parent or guardian.
5. Absence required by a legal body or social agency (court, juvenile authorities, public health department or police.)

The district may require suitable proof regarding the above exceptions, including written statements from medical sources. An unexcused absence is defined as an absence that is not covered by one of the foregoing exceptions. Students who are suspended or expelled shall be considered unexcused. Each unexcused absence shall be entered on the student's record. The parents or guardian of the student receiving unexcused absences shall be notified orally or in writing by the district, district designee, or building. Parents shall be required to furnish an explanation for student absenteeism either in writing or orally. Absences not explained within two days after returning to school shall be recorded as unexcused absences unless unusual or extenuating circumstances exist as determined by the principal. In accordance with law, the district may impose academic penalties which relate directly to classes missed while unexcused. The school administration shall develop regulations to implement appropriate penalties. Students and parents or guardians may appeal to the assistant superintendent for instruction or designee for exceptions to this policy or the accompanying regulations provided that no exception shall be sustained if the student fails to abide by all requirements imposed by the assistant superintendent for instruction or designee as conditions for granting any such exception.

 

STUDENT ABSENCES AND EXCUSES
It is the district's intention to encourage all students to have good attendance and to participate in school. In the majority of situations, students will be retained in all of their classes. However, in some cases, negative consequences may result. When positive approaches are unsuccessful, at times it may become necessary as a last resort to impose negative consequences which paradoxically may remove students from the classroom or school.

1. Due to the transition from the trimester to the semester delivery system, attendance procedures will be made available prior to the start of school.
2. Because students under age 16 must fulfill the requirements of the compulsory attendance law, they will remain in the class regardless of the number of unexcused absences. However students with chronic absenteeism may be placed on a reduced schedule and referred to an alternative program. Where extenuating circumstances exist, the principal or designee may extend full/partial credit providing that specific conditions established by the school are met.
3. The total time missed for each suspension period will be counted as one unexcused absence for purposes of grade reduction and/or loss of credit. For purposes of makeup work, each day of the suspension will be considered an unexcused absence.
4. At all schools, reasonable efforts will be made by the principal or designee to contact students and parents after unexcused absences to inform them of the penalties that may occur with further unexcused absences. The principal or designee will keep a record of contacts made or attempted. The principal or designee must notify parents of any grade reduction and/or loss of credit.
5. All students are expected to make up school work because of absenteeism.

a. Students with excused absences will be granted a reasonable amount of time to complete makeup work - generally two days for each day absent.
b. Time allowed for makeup work may not extend beyond the end of the grading period except by special permission of the principal or designee.
c. Students with prearranged absences must make arrangements prior to the absence for completing makeup work.
d. Students with unexcused absences may receive a grade of zero for all classwork missed and will be held responsible for knowledge of classwork covered during their absence.
e. Students with unexcused absences due to suspension will receive not more than 25% credit for all classwork missed and will be held responsible for knowledge of classwork covered during their absence.

6. Parents may request a conference with the building administration to discuss a decision related to the attendance policy and these regulations. The conference must be requested within one week of notification.

 

CONSECUTIVE UNEXCUSED ABSENCES
Any student who has eleven (11) consecutive instructional days of unexcused absences will be withdrawn from the district as a dropout. This includes both those over 16 years of age, and those under 16 years of age.

PRE-ARRANGED ABSENCES
Approval needs to be obtained for a pre-arranged absence. The student must bring a note from a parent or legal guardian and have it approved by an administrator for an excused absence. Once approved, the student is given a pre-arranged absence form on which to acquire signatures from their respective teachers. At this time, the student will pick up his/her pre-arranged assignments. Students who miss two or more consecutive weeks of school may receive a lower grade in any class. In addition, classes that require extensive lab work and in class assignments/participation may need to be rescheduled in an other semester due to loss of credit. Pre-arranged absences during the final week of a semester are discouraged. If family circumstances create an exception to this request, then students are to pick up a pre-arranged absence form from the office, complete it with the proper signatures and return to the office. Final exams can be made up early or late at the discretion of a teacher/administrator.

REPORTING ABSENCES - PROCEDURE
Parents are to notify the school via telephone or parent note when an absence occurs. When a student is ill or for some other reason is not able to attend school, a parent or guardian is expected to notify the attendance clerk by telephone (720-494-3741) during school hours. In the event a telephone is not available, a note explaining the absence will be necessary, if the absence is to be excused. The note should include the reason for the absence, the date involved and the signature of the student's parent or guardian. The note or telephone call must be received in the office no later than two school days after the absence occurs or the absence will be unexcused. Students are to check out of school in the attendance office before leaving the building or their absence is unexcused. It is the responsibility of the student to reconcile absences.

MAKE-UP WORK FOR ABSENTEEISM
1. All students are expected to make up school work missed because of absenteeism. It is the prime responsibility of the student to make contact with the teacher(s) to get makeup work. After three days or after long anticipated absences, students can ask for homework assignments from counseling.
2. Students with excused absences shall be granted full credit for makeup work provided the work is completed within the time specified by board policy.
a. Students with excused absences shall be granted two days for each day missed,
unless extenuating circumstances exist.
b. Students with prearranged absences must make arrangements for completing makeup work prior to the absence.
3. Students with unexcused absences may receive a grade of zero for all classwork, but will be responsible for knowledge of the material missed.
4. Teachers shall be required to help students who miss school because of an excused absence to make up work lost. If they wish, teachers may help those with unexcused absences, but they are not required to do so.

ABSENCES DUE TO COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
A permit from a doctor is desired upon return to school when a student has been absent because of a communicable disease such as, measles, mumps, whooping cough, chicken pox, and so on.

 

TIME RELEASE
As a rule, freshmen and sophomores are expected to enroll in seven classes each semester. Juniors and seniors are expected to enroll in five classes each semester and may elect Time Release during non-class periods. Whenever students have Time Release, they are not to be present in school or on campus, unless special authorization is granted. Students must complete and submit to the office an authorization to leave campus.

PROGRESS REPORTS
Mid-term progress reports (D's and F's) are available at conferences for parents of students .
Students and parents may track progress at any time during the year by picking up a weekly progress report from the counseling office. The student then takes the green form to each of his or her classes for the teacher signature and current academic status.

 

RENAISSANCE PROGRAM
Students earning the following Renaissance cards are eligible to receive specified discounts and/or coupons from various businesses and merchants in the community. They also receive selected school benefits and privileges as well.

2.5	Falcon (White)
.5 improvement with no F's	Renaissance (Yellow)

HONOR ROLL
Students who achieve a 3.0 average or better for the grading period will be included in the honor roll for that grading period. Students who achieve a 3.5 average or better will be included on the high honor roll.

COLLEGE CONCURRENT PROGRAM
Under a program authorized by the state legislature and available through the school district, students may attendcollege and high school concurrently, receiving credit in both institutions. College credit is translated to Carnegie units in a uniform method. College semester courses of one or two credits equal .25 Carnegie units; courses of three credits or more equal .50 units. Further information is available in the counseling office.
Each student is responsible for his/her own progress toward graduation and for being aware of deficiencies. Counselors are available for help, but the basic responsibility rests with the student.

 

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS File: IKF
A total of 23 1/2 credits shall be earned in grades 9 through 12 including completion of subject area requirements for graduation from a district high school. A minimum of 10 credits shall be earned in grades 11 and 12.
Sixteen quarters (8 semesters) of attendance beyond the eighth grade also shall be required unless the student qualifies for early graduation. Course credit shall be granted on the following basis: Satisfactory completion of 18-week (semester) courses: 1/2 credit hour per course. Courses are listed by the suggested grade level at which they should be taken by the student. A total of two credit hours for satisfactory completion of approved correspondence and/or Senior Alternative Make-up Courses may be accepted in meeting these requirements. A student may earn credits in the Senior Alternative Make-up Program only after completion of six semester hours of study starting at grade nine.

A regular student must complete the requirements for graduation prior to graduation day to be eligible to participate in all honors and graduation ceremonies provided for his/her class. All graduating seniors with a cumulative grade point average of 4.0 or above will be recognized as co-valedictorians at graduation.

 

ACADEMIC LETTER AND RECOGNITION
Skyline High School awards a letter for academic achievement. This prestigious award is given to students who show a quality of excellence in the classroom. To initially qualify for an academic letter, a student must achieve a 3.75 grade point average for each semester of the qualifying year. In addition, the student must be enrolled in SKYLINE, CDC, DISTRICT, OR CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT classes which offer, in aggregate, a minimum of 2.5 units of credit toward graduation each of the qualifying semesters (excluding any classes which result in grades of 'P' or 'S'). Invitation to the 4.0 Academic Honors Banquet in the fall will be based on the 4.0 grades and the 2.5 units of credit earned during each of the two semesters of the previous qualifying year. Subsequent and similar 4.0 achievement will result in the acquisition of an academic bar to be worn on the letter.

SKYLINE HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE CHANGE PROCESS
1. Students may change their class schedule prior to the beginning of each semester with parent, teacher, counselor or administrative approval. Signatures are required for any schedule changes. All schedule changes shall be done before or after school hours or during lunch hour (class drop/add request form).
2. After the beginning of each semester, students may change their schedule with parental approval, with approval from both the sending and receiving instructor, and with approval from a counselor and an administrator (class drop notice form). This must be done by the end of the first day of the new semester.
3. The following consequences will be in effect when students drop a class or classes as a result of a schedule change:
a. If a class is dropped within the first four weeks of the respective semester, the student will receive a W (does not effect GPA).
b. If a class is dropped during weeks five through nine of the respective semester, the student will receive WP (if passing no effect on GPA) or WF (counts as an F towards GPA)
4. If a student is dropped from a class for non-attendance, or inappropriate conduct, he/she will lose credit and will receive a grade of WF.
5. After completion of nine weeks of a semester, students will not be allowed to drop a class.
6. In the event of extenuating circumstances, exceptions to the foregoing must be petitioned through an administrator.
7. If a student changes classes, the grade earned in the first class goes with that student to the replacement class.

RETAKE FEES
The Board of Education expects that high school students must attend classes regularly and put forth effort in order to learn and practice the skills necessary for success in life after school. In order to promote student attendance and responsibility for learning, the Board exercises its right to assess students in grades 9-12 a fee for retaking classes required for graduation that they have failed.
The fee will be assessed on all students who meet the following criteria:
1. The student must have failed the class required for graduation on his or her first attempt.
2. The student’s failure is not due to a long term illness or other extenuating circumstances.

The fee for retaking classes required for graduation during the regular school year will be determined as part of establishing the annual district fee schedule. The fee for taking such classes shall be one-half of the previous year’s summer school tuition. For students on free or reduced lunch, the fee for taking such classes shall be one-half of the current fee. Tuition credit extended to students in extenuating circumstances. Students who are retaking a class for a fee for the first time and who receive a passing grade of C or better are eligible to receive an incentive payback equal to 100 percent of the retake fee. Students eligible to receive such a payback are responsible for contacting the school office to initiate the payback process. Students who are retaking class for a fee for the first time and who receive a passing grade of D will receive credit, but no payback of fee. Students who are retaking class for a fee for a second or subsequent times and who receive a passing grade of D or better will receive credit, but no payback of fee. When a student on an IEP meets criteria I through 2 above, school officials shall convene an immediate staffing to determine whether the student's failure(s) resulted from his or her identified condition. If the class(es) failure is determined not to be a result of the condition, the student will be charged the fee to retake the class.

 

VISITORS AND GUESTS
During the year Skyline will host guests and visitors who are required to report to the office, sign in, and obtain a "Visitor Pass". Every consideration should be accorded these people and every student should be alert to assist them whenever possible. Students are asked not to invite students from other schools to visit school as seating in the class areas may be limited. However, if there should be a situation when a visitor is expected, the host student will request, with prior parental approval, a "Visitor Pass" from the office and be prepared to report the reason for the visitation. This should be done prior to the anticipated "visiting day." The principal or assistant principal shall reserve the right to refuse visitor privileges. Generally, students from other St. Vrain Valley Schools will not be allowed to visit Skyline. As a general rule, Skyline is an educational institution providing opportunities for its enrolled students. The children and babies of enrolled students should not be brought to school. From time to time, small children and/or babies may be invited by a teacher as guests for a particular class or activity.

STUDENT DRESS File : JICA
In January of 2001, the St. Vrain Valley School Board approved a revised Student Dress policy, JICA. In order to provide in-school guidelines for the implementation of this policy, the following regulations are in place to ensure and preserve the learning environment and educational processes of Skyline High School. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in appropriate and progressive disciplinary actions, such as being requested to wear a cover-up T-shirt, to change clothes, to remove injurious or obscene items, or being suspended for not abiding with these guidelines.

The following items are considered in violation of the Board policy and thus inappropriate for school:

• Clothing which reveals undergarments or traditionally private parts of the body, including, but not limited to, short shorts (with less than a 3” inseam), mini-skirts or dresses, halter tops,tube tops, racer backs, bare midriffs or backs, spaghetti strap tops, or sagging pants (lower than 4” below the navel)
• Clothing which advertises or advocates the use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, or which makes reference to gangs whether intended or not, including, but not limited to, bandannas, tattoos, hairnets, do-rags, or jerseys
• Nuisance jewelry or accessories, including, but not limited to, dog chains, drug paraphernalia, chains hanging from one’s body, dangerous necklaces or bracelets, monogrammed belt buckles of any type, and the like
• Shoes or footwear are required at all times
• Bare chests will not be tolerated at any time, in any place, or at any school activity.

Waivers or exceptions to the above guidelines are contained in the final paragraph of the Board Policy.

With everchanging fashions, the administration reserves the right to modify policy accordingly.

 

LOCKERS
All students will be provided a locker for storing personal effects and school supplies. Lockers are not to be used as a safe for items of value or money. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen articles. In most cases, more than one student will be assigned to one locker. Because of this, students are requested to keep their lockers free of waste materials and other unnecessary articles. Students are not to move from an assigned locker without permission from the office. Students will be held financially responsible for damages and/or cleaning of the locker to which they have been assigned. Locks other than those issued by the school will be removed. School lockers are the property of the school and therefore may be periodically inspected by school officials when there is reasonable cause to suspect the presence of dangerous or unlawful articles. There is a $1.00 fee per student paid at the time the locker is assigned.

EMERGENCY DRILLS
Fire drills will be held once a month. Student traffic patterns are posted in all areas of the building. In addition, a tornado alert is held each spring. Instruction regarding exit procedures will be given all students and complete cooperation is expected. Lockdowns are conducted annually and evacuation drills are held triennially.

STUDENT DISMISSAL PRECAUTIONS File: JEDB
The building principal shall not excuse a student, under the age of 18, before the end of a school day without a request for the early dismissal from the student's parents. In keeping with this policy, it becomes prudent that:
1. No student be released from school early on the basis of an invalidated telephone call.
2. Children of estranged parents may be released only upon the request of the parent whom the court holds directly responsible for the child and who is the parent or guardian registered on the school record.

INTERROGATIONS AND SEARCHES File: JFG
When law enforcement officials find it necessary to question students during the school day or periods of extracurricular activities, the school principal or his designee shall be present when possible. An effort shall be made to contact the parent/other adult having custody of the student so that the responsible individual may be notified of the situation. In addition, Skyline has begun implementation of the Sherlock Hounds Program. This is a non-threatening yet visible reminder that drugs, alcohol, and gunpowder have no place in our school. It is intended to be a proactive deterrent against such items.

DETENTION OF STUDENTS File: JGB
Teachers may keep students after school for disciplinary reasons, but not ordinarily for more than 30 minutes. Bus students may be kept at noon instead of after school, unless the principal's office has made arrangements with the parents prior to keeping the student after school. Principals may keep students after school for disciplinary reasons with parent notification.

 

ACTIVITY TICKETS
All athletic admission prices are: Students - $4.00 Adults - $5.00 Student Athletic Pass - $35 Family Athletic Tickets are available for $120. This includes admission for two adults and all school- age children. Single Parents Athletic Tickets are available for $90 and also include all school- age children. Specific season
tickets are available at a reduced rate. Both family or single parent athletic tickets and season tickets may be purchased in the office at Skyline High School.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INTERSCHOLASTIC COMPETITION
In order to be eligible to participate in interscholastic competition (this includes athletics, cheerleaders, forensics, band, orchestra and vocal music contests), all students must:
1. Be a bona fide undergraduate of Skyline High School.
2. Represent Skyline High School standards in matters of conduct and sportsmanship, as determined by the coach, administration, and the St. Vrain Valley Board of Education.
3. Be enrolled in courses which offer, in aggregate, a minimum of 2.5 units of credit toward graduation, per semester (10 classes per year). The student must not be failing more than the equivalent of .5 units of credit (1 class).
4. Be aware that interscholastic eligibility will be checked weekly in the athletic office. Each teacher is required to turn in their list to the attendance office, and students will be notified by their coach on Monday if they are ineligible for the week.
5. Students rendered ineligible for the semester may regain eligibility on October 6th (1st semester) or March 3rd (2nd semester) provided they are enrolled in 2.5 credits and not failing more than .5 credits (1 class). No make-up work shall be permitted after the close of the semester for the purpose of becoming eligible, and an "incomplete" grade, for determining eligibility, will count as a failure. Students may attend summer school and gain interscholastic eligibility for the fall. They should talk specifically with a counselor.
6. When a student participates in a sport, he/she is given a High School Parent-Athlete Handbook. Everything necessary to know about athletic behavior, eligibility, and sportsmanship is in that book. Before a student may participate (this includes practice), a parent permission form and a current physical form must be on file. A fee of $120 for first sport, $120 for second sport, and $100 for third sport (maximum $400/family/year) must have been paid. Students who participate in athletics must adhere to eligibility requirements and training rules. Those issues are spelled out in the handbook.
7. Students must, in the judgment of the principal and sponsor, be representative of the school ideals in matters of conduct and sportsmanship in order to continue to represent Skyline High School in athletics and activities.

SPORTSMANSHIP EXPECTATION
Along with the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA), Skyline High School advocates, promotes, and enforces good sportsmanship for players and spectators. This includes, but is not limited to:

• active demonstration of competitive integrity and ethics
• respect for opponents and officials
• positive cheering
• fair play, courtesy, and self-control
• understanding of the rules
• appreciation of all performances, regardless of the school
• personal and institutional pride
• gracious acceptance of the results

In order to encourage and enforce sportsmanship and respect for others at all times, the following regulations are in place at all athletic events, at home or away.
Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in being ejected from games, in being suspended, or in being barred indefinitely from all contests.

The following items are considered contrary to good sportsmanship and to CHSAA regulations:

• Inappropriate gestures or words
• Vulgar language, or similar sounding words, such as ‘bull ship’
• Use of whistles, megaphones, drums, laser pointers, cowbells, or air horns
• Taunting, baiting, angering, embarrassing, ridiculing, or demeaning others
• Disruptive or distracting conduct during the National Anthem
• Painted torsos or bare chests (appropriate face-painting is acceptable)
• Kicking and stomping on bleachers which may result in undue damage
• Sitting or standing on the railing at football games or on the first row of bleachers in the gym
• Paper and/or hand-painted banners are prohibited (professionally-produced cloth or plastic school banners only)
  

 

 

FIELD TRIPS AND EXCURSIONS
At various times, it is desirable that a class or group of students leave the school for both academic and activity excursions. Students participating in such trips are expected to maintain behavior that will be a credit to Skyline High School. Students who have academic or attendance problems may be prohibited from taking field trips. When students leave with a group in school-provided transportation, they return by the same means unless special permission has been granted by an administrator. Written permission to take the trip must be given by the parent or guardian of the student before he/she will be permitted to take the trip. Information will be provided parents as much in advance as possible, and the necessary release or permission forms will be obtained.

BUS REGULATIONS
