Please record the following information: Student name and teacher name Who is calling Reason for absence/tardy Request for homework, if needed ATTENDANCE INFORMATION Consistent school attendance is critical to the educational success of your child. Our school s attendance goal, which follows state guidelines, is nine or fewer affected days for the school year. Please note the following attendance policies pertaining to Eagleview. For the full District 12 attendance policy, please see: Teachers inform administration when absences become a factor that may be contributing to a lack of academic progress. Excused absences are those resulting from illness, injury, non-emergency medical/dental appointments, religious observances, family emergencies, or other reasons as specified by the law. Excused absences are still reflected in total absences. Excessive Excused Absences are defined as more than 10 absences in a year: Absences excused but occurring in such quantity as to affect academic performance or student grades May result in teacher or building administrator conference or may be referred to a District Attendance Hearing Officer if affecting success and building interventions have been ineffective Unexcused Absences: No communication has been received from parents regarding absence. An attempt will be made to contact parents if a student is absent and not excused. Four unexcused absences in a month and/or ten unexcused absences in a year is considered truancy. Habitual truancy may include a referral to Truancy Court of the 17 th Judicial District and/or a referral to a social service agency. Notification of upcoming absences: Parents are encouraged to notify the school office whenever absences are known in advance using the Notification of Upcoming Absence form, which is available in the office. It is important to note that these absences do count towards a student s overall attendance total including determination of excessive excused absences and if these absences affect student academic progress and grades. Attendance is taken at after school activities if your student is at school but will not be attending the after school activity please call the school Children arriving at school after 7:45 AM need to come to the office for a tardy pass before going to the classroom. The tardy will be recorded as UNEXCUSED unless a parent accompanies the child into the building or leaves a message on the attendance line. PLEASE CALL THE ATTENDANCE LINE

6 COMMUNICATION The Eagleview staff is dedicated to a home/school communication that shows strong commitment to our shared responsibility for student success. To that end, we encourage open and frequent communication. is the preferred method of communication for ALL staff members and will typically result in a quicker response time. Communication with the classroom teacher: Consider your child s teacher as the first line of communication. Your child s teacher knows your child better than anyone in the school and has information regarding what happens during the school day. Every teacher sets up an individual system through which they communicate with parents, including take-home folders, student planners, journals, e- mail and/or voice mail. Please make sure you understand how this works in your child s classroom. Being responsive to your needs requires our undivided attention and we value your input. Therefore, please keep in mind that right before school and right after school are very busy times for Eagleview staff members and this is not a time that teachers are asked or expected to engage in individualized conversations about your student. These types of conversations are necessary, but need to be scheduled either with the teacher or with support from the office staff. It is a priority for all Eagleview staff to try to preserve the integrity of classroom instructional time for all students. Therefore, during instructional time teacher s classroom phones will be forwarded directly to their voic , please call the main office for any time sensitive information. Communication from the school: A monthly newsletter, the Eagleview Update, is filled with information regarding upcoming events and general information. This newsletter is ed to parents who have provided an address and is also available on-line at Often, important information will be sent home with your child in the Friday Folder. Check this folder each week for important information from the teacher and the school. Visit Eagleview s web page at or Facebook Page: Communication to problem solve: When conflicts or concerns arise, it can be a challenge to maintain a positive relationship throughout the problem solving process. Please contact your child s teacher or a school administrator when a situation arises. This will give us an opportunity to gather complete and accurate information about the situation and to focus the solution on what is best for the child. Eagleview staff will work with parents to resolve any conflicts that might arise. We seek an environment that is safe from harassment and intimidation. Therefore, all staff, students and parents are expected to act in a manner that is respectful and focused on solutions. No retaliation can occur against students or family members who voice concerns or file grievances. Students, families and community members can be heard by the Board of Education when internal procedures have been exhausted.

7 POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION SUPPORT (PBIS) PBIS is a proactive systems approach to school- wide discipline. A clear set of behavior expectations for each area of the school is taught through PBS videos, so the students know and understand what is expected of them at Eagleview Elementary School. They are expected to SOAR in all areas of the school! S stands for safety--o stands for organized A stands for having a good attitude and R stands for responsibility. Students are rewarded for following those school wide expectations in two ways: 1) Whole classes that are following the SOAR expectations can be rewarded by receiving a green eaglebuck. A class will earn a class eaglebuck party once they have collected 30 eaglebucks. 2) Students that are following the SOAR expectations can receive a BLUE eaglebuck. There is a weekly drawing of individual eaglebucks and selected students are able to come to the office for a prize. At the end of each month, student s names from each grade level are drawn and they receive a SOAR T-Shirt. RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS (RAK) During the school year we will implement and partner with a local organization called Random Acts of Kindness. The purpose of this work is to bring an emphasis to the social and emotional needs of our students and develop strong supports and structures that teach students the importance of kindness, acceptance and thoughtfulness. For more information on RAK, please visit, DISCIPLINE POLICY The Eagleview staff is committed to helping all students develop appropriate social behaviors and good citizenship skills. Consistent rules and policies help provide a safe learning environment in which all children can learn, although each incident is given individual consideration. School Discipline Policy Eagleview Staff will adhere to Superintendent s Policy 5000 (student discipline) that recognizes the need to provide an educational environment for students which is safe, conducive to the learning process, and free from unnecessary disruption. Staff will establish and enforce rules for students conduct as set forth in Superintendent Policy 5000 and communicate such rules to students and their parents/custodians and legal guardians, as well as the fact that violations of such rules shall result in disciplinary actions. Principles of fundamental fairness and procedural due process will govern the regulation of student conduct. (Superintendent Policy 5000) Stop and Think= This is a tool we use to manage minor infractions handled by classroom teacher-parent is informed and must sign form. This information is not recorded within Infinite campus. Formal referral= This is a tool we use either when a student has accumulated 3 or more Stop and Think forms or if the infraction rises to a serious level as outlined within our behavior matrix. Students receiving a formal referral are escorted to office to meet with administration. Parents are contacted and consequences are generally given by administration.

8 Primary Discipline Responsibilities Primary responsibility for discipline will rest with the instructional staff: Classroom teachers will handle incidents within the classroom and transition times. Outside the classroom, any staff member may discipline a child who is acting inappropriately and may not be under the direct supervision of his/her classroom teacher. Major or on-going infractions will be referred to the school administrators. Positive Reinforcement Programs Individual classroom recognition programs Assemblies to honor student achievement Eagle bucks weekly drawing Student of the month Positive Referrals with phone calls home SAFETY OF STUDENTS You can assist Eagleview staff in providing for the safety of all students by: Providing up-to-date information: Call the school attendance line when your child will be late to school or absent. Notify the school office when you have a change in home, work, or emergency phone numbers. Providing a safe trip to school and home again: See that your child does not arrive at school before 7:30 AM and leaves the school grounds promptly when school is dismissed. Determine a meeting place in the event that parents are running late. Students not picked up 10 minutes after school dismisses should return to the office. If your child walks home, have him/her walk with a group. Teach your child never to talk to or respond to a stranger, but to keep walking fast. Encourage students to tell an adult if a person they do not know talks to them or invites them to go somewhere or do something. Keep watch in your neighborhood and on the route to and from school. Organize neighbors to take turns walking children to and from school. Report suspicious activities to the Thornton police (during the day, after hours and on weekends). Follow Eagleview s Rules of the Road and exercise extreme caution when driving near the school. Observe and use crosswalks when crossing streets and parking lots with students. Always yield to crossing guard. U-turns are prohibited in front of the school on Summit Grove Parkway 8

9 STUDENT DRESS CODE We encourage you to read the Adams 12 dress code policy (Superintendent Policy 5060) as all students are responsible for the following these guidelines. The following guidelines are the most prevalent within the elementary school. Students who are not in compliance with dress code will be subject to consequences outlined below: Shirts must be long enough to touch the top of the lower garment and/or be tucked in. All attired should be sized to fit without exposing undergarments, buttocks, stomachs or cleavage. Shorts and skirts must be knuckle length when arms are resting at sides. Shoes must be worn at all times. Hats and caps as appropriate for the weather, except as otherwise prohibited under this procedure, may be worn on school grounds, but must be removed when the student enters the building. Roller shoes are not permitted. In the event that a child arrives at school wearing attire prohibited under district policy, the student will be asked to turn the item or clothing inside out for the remainder of the school day or change into school provided clothing or parents will be called to bring alternative attire. If the student continues to wear prohibited attire, the school s disciplinary procedure will be followed. This district dress code policy also applies to Halloween costumes. BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL BEFORE SCHOOL Parents are reminded that sending children early or dropping them off early could be encouraging a very dangerous situation, as there is no adult supervision on the school grounds before 7:30 AM. Before school, staff members are preparing for the school day; for this reason, staff members are not available to supervise before 7:30 AM. It is understandable that parents sometimes have to leave for work before this safe drop-off time. Should this be the case, please have an alternative plan in place by arranging with a relative, friend or neighbor to deliver your child to school no earlier than 7:30. There are also a number of commercial day-care establishments that will transport children to Eagleview. The tardy bell does not ring until 7:45; this schedule allows all children to enter the building and arrive in the classroom on time. AFTER SCHOOL It is very important that children be picked up on time when school dismisses at 2:30 (1:15 every Wednesday). Teachers are assigned to designated supervision areas for ten minutes and are not available to monitor children after school has dismissed. The office staff will call a parent when a child has not been picked up; the parent is then responsible to either come to school for the child or to communicate with the daycare provider or relative and ask that they come to Eagleview. Always have a Plan B (pick-up by relative, friend or neighbor) in place for those times when after-school plans change. For the safety of all students, it is essential that they are picked up on time when school is dismissed. WHEN THE BELL RINGS Students may not exit through the front doors. Students must exit with their class using designated dismissal routes. Students should have a pre-planned area to meet siblings. 9

10 EMERGENCY CLOSURE INFORMATION Information on emergency school closures (due to severe overnight storms or other emergency situations) is available on local television stations; please listen for announcements concerning Adams 12 Five Star Schools, Adams 12, or Northglenn/Thornton. Information is also available on the district website: LOST AND FOUND Please remember to check the lost and found for any items your child may have misplaced. Clothing items are in the green basket near the gym. Small items, including eyeglasses, keys, jewelry, etc. may be claimed in the office. Periodically, all unclaimed lost and found items are donated to charity. RECESS Students may participate in either a morning or an afternoon recess in addition to the lunch recess period. Indoor recess will be held if: Significant snow, rain, sleet or hail is falling Lightning is occurring Temperature with wind-chill is 20 or less Playground conditions are poor (mud, snow, ice, or standing water) Students should come to school prepared to go outside for recess. During the colder months, they should bring: Warm coats Mittens or gloves Head covering Waterproof footwear Students must have a doctor s note in order to be allowed to remain inside during recess. PERSONAL ITEMS AT SCHOOL Due to lack of storage within the building, skateboards and roller blades should remain at home. Bicycles must be walked on school grounds, and then locked in the bike rack. Scooters may be ridden to school only if they are then locked securely to the bike rack; there is not storage space in the school for scooters. Students are asked not to bring toys of any type (balls, trading cards, stuffed animals, personal CD players, ipods, etc.) unless for a special classroom activity. They should remain in student backpacks until needed for class activity; the student accepts the responsibility for keeping the item safe. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Students who forget homework or personal items in the classroom after school has dismissed for the day will not be allowed to retrieve them unless the teacher is in the room and gives permission. Students should stop by the office and a member of the office staff will attempt to contact the teacher for his/her OK. 10

11 USE OF TELEPHONE AT SCHOOL Parents are asked to refrain from calling their child or the child s teacher during the instructional day. Eagleview s office staff will deliver emergency messages to students. Please assist us by making arrangements for after-school pick-up and day-care prior to your child leaving for school in the morning. Students will be permitted to use the telephone when necessary as permitted by staff. Students will not be allowed to use the phone to make after-school social arrangements. CELL PHONES Emergency use of cell phones by students is permitted with the following stipulations: For ordinary school days, students may have cell phones in their possession. Phones must be turned off and stored where deemed appropriate by the classroom teacher. Cell phones will be confiscated if students do not adhere to these procedures and must be picked up in the office by a parent. Any student who is caught using cell phones in an inappropriate manner as subject to disciplinary action up to and including contacting law enforcement. During CMAS test times, no cell phones will be permitted in the testing room. However, phones may be turned into the office with the owner s name securely attached. Students may pick up the phone at the end of the day. STUDENTS WITH ALLERGIES Many of our students suffer from mild to severe food allergies or diabetes. Eagleview s staff would like to be as diligent and dedicated to keeping students with food concerns safe as we are in maintaining a secure environment. In an effort to help teachers, students and parents monitor a potentially dangerous situation we have decided to put into place a safe food policy. We all enjoy eating the delicious homemade items that many of you put much time into preparing, we are now going to require that all food brought for school treats contain their nutritional content and a food ingredient list, so we are able to ensure the safety of all students. PARENTS AND VISITORS AT SCHOOL Under Colorado School Law {CRS (7)} all visitors (parents, visitors, district employees) to schools in Colorado must sign in.

Remember, all adults must complete the volunteer training in order to work in the school in any capacity. (This includes parents and/or grandparents who attend field trips.) Every year after you are trained you must complete a new volunteer application. Applications are available in the office. If you were trained previously, you do not need to be retrained. In an effort to support the confidentiality of students and to ensure the highest quality of instruction, we ask that volunteers limit their time in the classrooms to no more than two hours a couple of times a week. We greatly appreciate all the help and support you provide our school. CHECKING STUDENTS OUT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY A parent or his/her designee must sign out a child leaving during the day; authorization to leave school during the day must come from the parent or guardian. Designee must be on the authorized to check-out list. Children will not be allowed to walk home alone during the school day.

14 HEALTH AND WELLNESS PRACITCES We believe in the overall health and wellbeing of all students and you will find that we offer a wide variety of activities that encourage healthy living for our students and community. We are making adjustments to our birthday treats and rewards systems so that fun and positivity are still encouraged, but not always rewarded with food. Please be on the lookout for a menu of options that we will utilize with students, families and teachers in order to continue to celebrate in a healthy way. A Balanced Approach to Learning Outside of School: Eagleview s Learning Practice/Homework Policy The teaching staff at Eagleview believes that homework can be important because it is a valuable aid in helping students make the most of their experience in school. We assign homework because it is useful in reinforcing what has been learned in class, preparing students for up-coming lessons, extending and generalizing concepts, teaching responsibility, and helping students develop positive study habits. We believe homework is a partnership between teachers, students and parents. Extra practice/homework can increase student achievement if we all take an active role. Teachers will assign extra practice and homework throughout the school week that is appropriate for the age, grade and academic level of the students. In addition to intellectual skill practice, the brain and body requires physical activity. Based on research out of Columbia University, Exercise directly impacts the behavior and development of the brain. It is likely that the effects of physical activity on cognition would be particularly important in the highly developing brains of youth. Additionally, exercise may affect executive functioning of the brain by providing, increased oxygen flow to the brain and increased brain neurotransmitters. Physical activity has benefits beyond improved grades, too. Drop-out rates were lower for youth who consistently participated in interscholastic sports. (Charles Basch) So it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED that ALL students engage in a minimum of 60 minutes daily of physical activity outside of school. Teachers will: Assign appropriate homework aligned with curricular standards and connected to in-class instruction. Analyze patterns in practice to determine next steps for instruction. Explain homework expectations and directions in advance. Modify homework based on individual student needs or grade level. Provide positive structures to reinforce practice and strong study habits. Students will: Complete and turn in practice/homework according to timelines. Do homework to the best of their ability thoroughly, thoughtfully, and neatly. Ask for clarification if an assignment or its due date is not understood. Parents are encouraged to: 14

15 Establish an extra practice/homework routine and emphasize the importance of strong study habits and practice as part the learning process. Provide an environment (space, time, appropriate supplies) that is conducive for their child s learning success. Provide support for their child/children with homework and encourage independence as ability grows. Reach out to the teacher if the student is experiencing persistent struggles with homework. Vacations: It is inevitable that at some point during a student s elementary experience they may miss some days of school due to family vacations. While it is encouraged to minimize vacations during the year and utilize the time students are naturally out of school, it is understood that a school schedule is not always conducive to family work schedules. Because it isn t possible for students to make-up the instruction that was missed during their absences, we ask that parents not request, work packets from teachers. In the event that your student does miss school due to a vacation, the following are encouraged: Make the most of the experience by engaging in the learning that can occur from being in a new place. Students may create or compile a photo and/or written journal documenting their experience. Visit our local Anythink public library and they will provide a vacation bag filled with fun and engaging learning for your student throughout their time away. PETS AT SCHOOL In accordance with district policy, pets are not permitted on school grounds whether leashed or not. Please refrain from bringing pets on property at all times. DELIVERIES AT SCHOOL In order to create and maintain an educational setting which values learning and to cause the least disruption to the school day, we ask that parents not send deliveries to students at school. Items that are delivered will remain in the school office until the end of the school day. FIELD TRIPS 15

16 Grade levels offer various field trips that enhance the curriculum. Teachers will select volunteers on an as-needed basis to accompany the class on a trip, offering the opportunity to as many parents as possible. Volunteers are responsible for the safety of all children assigned to their group. All volunteers, including field trip chaperones, are required to complete a one-time training session this PowerPoint is online on the Eagleview website, complete a code of conduct each year. Only Eagleview students in that particular grade level will be allowed to attend the field trip. Parent volunteers may not bring siblings or guests. A signed district permission slip must be submitted before any child may attend a field trip. A note from the parent is not an acceptable substitute for the permission slip. A child who rides the bus on the field trip must return on the bus unless alternative arrangements have been made prior to the trip. CAFETERIA INFORMATION Eagleview s cafeteria serves a nutritious lunch each day or students may elect to bring a sack lunch from home. If students wish to purchase lunch, they may bring money on a daily basis or pay in advance. If paying in advance, please send a check for the number of days desired, payable to Eagleview Cafeteria. Indicate on the check your child s name and computer lunch number. Please call the kitchen ( ) if you have a question about lunch or lunch money.

If you use this service, you no longer need to send a check with your child to pay for meals. Once an online payment is made, a deposit will be made to your child s account. The payment amount and an additional transaction fee will be charged to your credit card or checking account. Getting started is easy.

17 OLDEST OR ONLY PROCEDURE At Eagleview, we send home all-school publications (newsletter, menu, parent group flyers, important announcements, etc.) with the oldest or only child in each family. For example, if your 4 th grader is the oldest of your three children who attend Eagleview, he/she will be the one who brings home most allschool publications for your family. If you only have one child in this school, he/she will be given the publication. By limiting publications to one per family, we are able to significantly reduce the amount of paper we process and send home. DISTRIBUTION OF NON-DISTRICT MATERIALS Requests are frequently made for Eagleview to distribute information and advertising to the community through school processes such as the Friday Take-Home Folder. The District policy Distribution of Non-District Related Materials has been revised.

If parents DO NOT want their child(ren) to be photographed or videotaped for news media or school publicity purposes, please request and opt-out media form from your child s school.

Para la política completa sobre la asistencia del Distrito 12, por favor visite: Los maestros informan a la administración cuando las faltas llegan a ser un factor que puede estar contribuyendo a la falta de progreso académico. Faltas justificadas son las que resultan de enfermedad, herida, citas médicas o dentales que no son de emergencia, observancias religiosas, emergencias en la familia o por otras razones especificadas por la ley. Las faltas justificadas se reflejan en las faltas totales. Faltas justificadas excesivas se definen como más de 10 faltas en un año: Faltas justificadas pero ocurriendo en una cantidad que afecta el rendimiento académico Faltas que pueden afectar las calificaciones del estudiante Puede resultar en una conferencia con el maestro o un administrador del edificio o puede ser referido a un Oficial del Distrito de Audiencia de Asistencia si está afectando el éxito y las intervenciones en el edificio no han sido efectivas. Faltas Injustificadas: No se ha recibido alguna comunicación de los padres respecto a la falta. Se hará el intento de contactar a los padres si un estudiante falta y no ha sido excusado. Cuatro faltas injustificadas en un mes y/o diez faltas injustificadas en un año se consideran absentismo estudiantil. Absentismo estudiantil habitual puede incluir una referencia a la Corte de Absentismo Estudiantil del Distrito Judicial 17 o y/o una referencia a una agencia de servicios sociales. Notificación por adelantado de faltas: Se anima a los padres a notificar a la oficina escolar en cualquier momento que se sepa sobre las faltas de antemano usando la forma Notificación Por Adelantado de una Falta, la cual está disponible en la oficina.

25 COMUNICACIÓN El personal de Eagleview está dedicado a la comunicación entre la escuela y el hogar que demuestra un compromiso fuerte a nuestra responsabilidad compartida por el éxito estudiantil. A ese fin, recomendamos la comunicación frecuente y abierta. El medio de comunicación preferido de la mayoría de los miembros del personal es el correo electrónico y típicamente resultará en un tiempo de respuesta más rápido. La comunicación con el maestro del salón de clases: Considere el maestro de su niño como la primera línea de comunicación. El maestro de su niño lo conoce mejor que cualquier persona en la escuela y tiene información en cuanto a lo que pasa durante el día escolar. Cada maestro establece un sistema individual por el cual se comunica con los padres incluyendo las carpetas que se mandan a casa, las agendas estudiantiles, los diarios, el correo electrónico y/o el correo de voz. Por favor asegúrese de que entiende cómo funciona esto en el salón de clases de su niño. El ser receptivos a sus necesidades requiere toda nuestra atención y valoramos sus comentarios. De modo que por favor tenga en cuenta que justo antes de las clases y justo después de las clases son tiempos muy ocupados para los miembros del personal de Eagleview y este no es el tiempo que se les pide o se espere que los maestros participen en conversaciones individuales sobre su hijo(a). Estos tipos de conversaciones son necesarias, pero necesitan ser programadas ya sea con el maestro o con apoyo del personal de la oficina. Es una prioridad para todo el personal de Eagleview tratar de preservar la integridad del tiempo de instrucción en el salón de clases para todos los estudiantes. De modo que, durante el tiempo de instrucción, los teléfonos de los maestros en el salón de clases son dirigidos directamente al correo de voz, por favor llame a la oficina para cualquier información de tiempo sensible. La comunicación de la escuela: Un boletín mensual, la Actualización de Eagleview, está llena de información sobre eventos próximos e información general. El boletín se manda por correo electrónico a los padres que han proporcionado un correo electrónico y también está disponible en línea en at A menudo, se mandará a casa información importante con su niño en la Carpeta del Viernes. Revise esta carpeta cada semana por información importante del maestro y de la escuela. Visite la página web de Eagleview en o la página de Facebook: La comunicación para resolver problemas: Cuando surjan conflictos o preocupaciones, puede ser un reto mantener una relación positiva a través del proceso de resolver el problema. Por favor comuníquese con el maestro de su niño o un administrador escolar cuando surja una situación. Esto nos permite la oportunidad de recolectar información completa y exacta acerca de la situación y enfocarnos en la solución que es mejor para el niño. El personal de Eagleview trabajará con los padres para resolver cualquier conflicto que pueda surgir. Buscamos un ambiente seguro del acoso y la intimidación. De modo que se espera que todo el personal, los estudiantes y los padres actúen en una manera que es respetuosa y enfocada en las soluciones. No pueden ocurrir represalias en contra de los estudiantes o los miembros de la familia que dejan saber sus inquietudes o que presentan una queja. Los estudiantes, las familias y los miembros de la comunidad pueden ser escuchados por la Junta Educativa cuando los procedimientos internos se han agotado. 25

26 INTERVENCIÓN DE APOYO PARA EL COMPORTAMIENTO POSITIVO (PBIS por sus siglas en inglés) PBIS es un enfoque de un sistema proactivo a la disciplina por toda la escuela. Se enseñan expectativas claras para el comportamiento en cada área de la escuela por medio de los videos PBS para que los estudiantes sepan y entiendan lo que se espera de ellos en Eagleview Elementary School. Se espera que ellos vuelen alto (SOAR) en todas las áreas de la escuela! La S representa la seguridad la O representa organizado A representa tener una buena actitud y la R representa responsabilidad. Se premia a los estudiantes por seguir estas expectativas en dos maneras: 3) Las clases enteras que están siguiendo las expectativas SOAR pueden ser premiadas por medio de eaglebucks verdes. La clase recibirá una fiesta eaglebuck cuando hayan recolectado 30 eaglebucks. 4) Los estudiantes que están siguiendo las expectativas SOAR pueden ser premiados por medio de eaglebucks azules. Hay un sorteo semanal de eaglebucks individuales y estudiantes seleccionados pueden ir a la oficina por un premio. Al fin de cada mes, se sortea el nombre de estudiantes de cada nivel de grado y reciben una camiseta SOAR. ACTOS DE NOBLEZA AL AZAR (RAK por sus siglas en inglés) Durante el año escolar implementaremos y estaremos en compañerismo con una organización local llamada Random Acts of Kindness (actos de nobleza al azar). El propósito de este trabajo es de darle énfasis a las necesidades sociales y emocionales de nuestros estudiantes y desarrollar apoyos y estructuras fuertes que les enseñan a los estudiantes la importancia de la nobleza, aceptación y consideración. Para más información sobre RAK, favor de visitar POLÍTICA SOBRE LA DISCIPLINA El personal de Eagleview está comprometido a ayudar a todos los estudiantes a desarrollar comportamientos sociales apropiados y las habilidades de buena ciudadanía. Las reglas y políticas constantes ayudan a proporcionar un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro en el cual todos los estudiantes pueden aprender, aunque se considera cada incidente individualmente. Política de la Escuela sobre la Disciplina El personal de Eagleview se adherirá a la Política 5000 del Superintendente (disciplina estudiantil) la cual reconoce la necesidad de proporcionar un ambiente educativo para los estudiantes que es seguro, propicio al proceso de aprendizaje y libre de interrupciones innecesarias. El personal establecerá y aplicará reglas para la conducta estudiantil tal como se presentan en la Política 5000 del Superintendente y comunicarán tales reglas a los estudiantes y a sus padres/guardianes y tutores, así como el hecho de que las violaciones de tales reglas resultarán en acciones disciplinarias. Los principios de la justicia fundamental y las debidas garantías procesales gobiernan la regulación de la conducta estudiantil. (Política 5000 del Superintendente) Deténgase y Piense= Esta es una herramienta que utiliza el maestro del salón para manejar infracciones menores - se les informa a los padres y ellos deben firmar un formulario. Esta información no se registra en el programa Infinite Campus. Referencia formal= Esta es una herramienta que usamos ya sea cuando un estudiante ha acumulado 3 o más formularios de deténgase y piense o si la infracción eleva a un nivel serio como es delineado en la matriz de comportamiento. Los estudiantes que reciban una referencia formal son escoltados a la oficina para reunirse con la administración. Los padres son contactados y las consecuencias por lo general son dadas por la administración. 26
