2 Granite School District Information for Junior & Senior High students School Choice Open Enrollment Options State law and Granite School District policies provide guidelines for students to apply for enrollment in a school other than their home school. (Students and parents requesting attendance at a school other than their home school need to complete an application form and obtain necessary signatures. Students intending to enter a school in 7th or 10th grade that is not their school of residence must submit an application to the intended school as there is no automatic "feeder" system in place.) All applications are screened and considered on an individual basis based on available space by building, grade, class or program in the requested school. Applications may be revoked or denied to those who have committed serious infractions of the law or school rules, or have been guilty of chronic misbehavior which would, if it were to continue, endanger persons or property, cause serious disruption in the school, or place unreasonable burdens on school staff. Transportation to and from the requested school is the responsibility of the students and parents. In making application, keep in mind the following time periods: 1. From December 1 through the third Friday in February, the early open enrollment period is available to anyone who would like to make application to attend another school for the next school year. Applications and guidelines are available at the requested school where the application should be initiated and submitted for approval. 2. The standard open enrollment period is any time during the current school year and after the third Friday in February for the next school year. Applications and guidelines are available at your home school, where the request to transfer must be initiated. Contact your school or Prevention & Student Placement for more information and necessary forms. Granite District School Safety Policy For the safety of students, staff and visitors to our schools, the Granite Board of Education has a strict SCHOOL SAFETY policy.

7 Granite School District Junior & Senior High Information Page 7 Official School Fees Notice For Families of Students in Grades Seven Through Twelve Utah law permits the charging of fees in grades seven through twelve. This means that your student may be charged fees for school materials, supplies, activities and programs. Except for common household articles and common articles of clothing, your student cannot be required by a teacher or other person to pay fees or provide any materials, money, or any other thing of value unless that requirement has been approved by the local Board of Education and included in the school or district fee schedule. In addition, no teacher, coach, or other person acting as a representative of the school may invite or require your student to participate in any summer camp or other activity unless the costs have been approved by the local Board of Education and placed on the fee schedule. If your student is eligible based on income verification or receives SSI payments (QUALIFIED CHILD WITH DISABILITIES), or if you are receiving TANF (currently qualified for financial assistance or food stamps) or the student was placed in your home by the government as a foster child, the school must waive the fees (meaning that you will not be required to pay the fees). If you are having a financial emergency caused by job loss, major illness, or other substantial loss of income beyond your control, your child might be eligible for a fee waiver even if other eligibility criteria are not met. You may apply for fee waivers by submitting the Fee Waiver Application (Grades 7-12). A copy of the application is included with this notice. Additional copies may be obtained from the school office. As soon as you have sent in the completed forms, the fee requirement will be suspended until a final decision has been reached about your studentʼs eligibility for fee waivers. If the application is denied, the school will send you a Decision and Appeal Form. The Form will tell you why the application was denied, and explain how to appeal the decision. The form for starting an appeal is on the same page as the form for the decision. Remember to always keep a copy for yourself. If you appeal a denial of fee waivers, you will not need to pay the fees until the appeal is decided. If your student is eligible for fee waivers, all fees must be waived, including but not limited to the following: Fees for registration, textbooks, textbook and equipment deposits, school supplies, activity cards, extracurricular activities, and school lockers; lab and shop fees; gym and towel fees; costs for uniforms and accessories; field trips and assembly fees; costs for class or team trips; and costs of musical instruments used in school classes or activities. There is no such thing as a non-waivable or optional fee, but alternatives to fee waivers may be arranged in some cases, but not for textbook fees. Alternatives to waivers are not permitted for textbook fees. Alternatives to simply waiving school fees may include such things as a reasonable requirement for community service or an assignment to help on a fundraiser, but may not include installment payments, IOUʼs, or other delayed payment plans. Community service requirements and fundraisers must be appropriate to the age, physical condition, and maturity of the student, and must be conducted in such a way that students are not subjected to embarrassment, ridicule, or humiliation. In addition, community service requirements and fundraisers must avoid excessive burdens on students and families and give proper consideration to a studentʼs educational and transportation needs and other responsibilities. Your school will inform you if it will be requiring community service as an alternative to fee waivers. All students involved in a program for which funds are being raised must be invited to participate in the fundraiser, not just those who are eligible for fee waivers. All participants in the fundraiser should share in the earned benefits. Participation in the fundraiser may be required for those who have requested fee waivers. If a fee-waiver eligible student has already performed a community service requirement covering all of the fees in question, then additional fundraising shall not be required of that student unless all students are subject to the same requirement. Since people in low-income areas usually have less discretionary income and so may be less able to donate or spend money on fundraisers than those in higher-income areas, quotas should not be used. The question should be whether a student made a good-faith effort, not whether a particular student met a sales quota. If a student makes the requested effort, but sufficient money is not raised in the fundraiser to cover all charges for the school activity and the activity goes forward anyway, then the difference between the fee-waiver eligible studentʼs share of the proceeds and the actual amount of the fee must be waived. School funds are limited, and your school may need help other than fees. As a result, the school may ask you for tax-deductible donations of school supplies, equipment, or money, but the school cannot require donations. No student may be penalized for not making a donation. For example, if donations are used to pay for a field trip, every student must be allowed to go on the trip even though some may not have made a donation. Regardless of whether you have paid fees, donations, and contributions or not, or have applied for, received, or been denied waivers, your name is confidential and cannot be disclosed to anyone lacking both a right and a need to know the information. The school may, however, with the consent of the donor, give appropriate recognition to any person or organization making a major donation or contribution to the school. Charges for class rings, yearbooks, school pictures, letter jackets, and similar items are not fees and need not be waived. Also, if your student loses or damages school property, the costs of replacement or repair are not fees and need not be waived. Students may be required to pay fees for concurrent enrollment or advanced placement courses. The portion of the fees related specifically to college or post-secondary grades or credit is not subject to fee waiver. In addition, only those students who have paid a textbook or equipment deposit are eligible to receive a deposit refund at the end of the year. The school and school staff cannot withhold, reduce, or enhance grades or credit, or withhold grades, credit, report cards, transcripts, or diplomas to enforce the payment of fees. A school may withhold the official student records of a student responsible for lost or damaged school property consistent with Section 53A , but may not withhold a studentʼs records that would prevent a student from attending school or being properly placed in school. State law requires schools or school districts to require DOCUMENTATION of fee waiver eligibility if parent must apply for fee waivers. Local boards will have policies and/or guidelines for determining required documentation for eligibility for fee waivers. State law requires a school district to provide alternatives in lieu of fee waivers, to the fullest extent reasonably possible according to individual circumstances of both fee waiver applicant and school, consistent with local board policies and/ or guidelines. Fee waiver eligibility documentation is NOT required annually but may be required at any time by the school or a parent may ask for review for good cause. Also, documentation SHALL NOT be maintained for privacy reasons. Schools may transfer fee waiver eligibility information to other schools to which students advance or transfer. NOTE: If your district does not require parents in the entire district area or parents and students in specific schools or sections of the district to apply for fee waivers, district administrators NEED NOT require verification of eligibility under this section. If you have questions, first talk to your school or the school district representative listed below.

Caring Caring is at the heart of a decent life. It leads us to help others and to respect ourselves. Responsibility People who care must be willing to take responsibility, which means they are accountable for their actions.

Incidents of bullying, cyber-bullying, hazing, and harassment can significantly disrupt a student s right to a respectful school atmosphere. Any bullying-type behavior is unacceptable, and measures are in place to address anti-social behavior when it occurs. Instruction should occur in a school climate where there is safety, respect and dignity for each student and an opportunity to develop a sense of individual worth. Administrators, teachers, counselors, social workers, and psychologists in every school are trained to respond to incidents of bullying, cyber-bullying, hazing, harassment or other similar anti-social behaviors. The best resource for identifying and addressing incidents of unsafe behavior in schools is the eyes and ears of our students. Granite School District provides avenues for all students to anonymously report unsafe behavior through the use of school Buddy Boxes and the District Safety Hotline. If students are aware of any dangerous situation involving bullying, weapons, or unsafe behavior, they are encouraged to contact the District Safety Hotline Phone: (801) Text: (801) contacts can be held in confidence Additional resources and information can be found on our website at A Parent s Guide to SECTION 504 of the Rehabilitation Act What Is Section 504?

If a student is qualified as disabled under Section 504, the District must make reasonable accommodations to ensure that the student receives a commensurate education, that is, the student must be served as adequately as non-disabled students. Unless the student also qualifies for special education, the accommodations may not include special education services.

Student Attendance/Truancy Prevention Policy Because of the schoolʼs commitment to quality education, we are concerned when a student misses school for any reason. The mission of the Granite School District is to prepare every student with the knowledge and skills needed for lifelong success in a changing world. Students who are excessively absent from school are not able to accomplish their educational goals. According to the Utah Compulsory Attendance Laws (Utah Code 53A ), parents and students are responsible for regular school attendance. Occasionally a student must be absent from school for reasons which are acceptable to the school and the courts, such as illness, medical appointments, family emergencies, or a death of family member or close friend. Please send a note to school following an absence explaining the reason for your childʼs absence. Please note the following: 1. Seven or more days (or equivalent class periods) of excused absences within a school year are considered excessive and may require a doctorʼs note to excuse subsequent absences. 2. After five or more days (or equivalent class periods) of unexcused absences within a school year, the school will mail the student/parents a Truancy Letter asking for the parentʼs help with their studentʼs attendance and warning of consequences for further truancy. Please note, a student must be in attendance 4 (four) hours of a school day to receive credit for one full day. 3. After 10 days (or equivalent class periods) of unexcused absences within a school year, the school will mail the student and parents a Habitual Truancy Notice/Pre-Court Hearing. The Habitual Truancy Notice requires the student and parents to appear at a Pre-Court hearing. Schools may assess a $48.00 truancy fine. 4. Students in seventh through ninth grades will be referred to the Third District Juvenile Court. Parents/legal guardians of studentsʼ ages 6-12 (K-6th grades) may be referred to the Salt Lake County District Attorney. 5. Students in grades 9-12 are subject to Granite School Districtʼs Citizenship Policy and students with two or more unexcused absences may not receive higher than a 0 in citizenship. Students are required to maintain a 2.0 CPA (Citizenship Point Average) in order to graduate from high school. Excessive absences may jeopardize a studentʼs ability to graduate from high school. Please check with the school attendance specialist or attendance secretary concerning the number of excused or unexcused absences that your student may have. Your cooperation is needed to help us give your student a quality education. If you have questions regarding this policy please contact Prevention & Student Placement office, Need help?
