In general, students have a grace period of two days to complete make-up work for an excused absence. Tests, projects and essays that were assigned prior to an absence are due upon a student’s return to class. There is no grace period for unexcused absences; work will be accepted at teacher discretion.

Bicycles should be locked in the racks provided in the student parking lots.
In-line skates, rollerskates and skateboards are not to be used on ISD #196 property or in Eastview High School. Damage to school property by in-line skates, rollerskates or skateboards will be considered vandalism and will be dealt with appropriately.
 

School lockers are the property of District 196 and are loaned to students for their use. At no time does the school district relinquish its exclusive control of lockers provided for the convenience of students. Inspection of the interior of lockers may be conducted by school authorities for any reason at any time, without notice, without student consent, and without a search warrant. The personal possessions of students within a school locker may be searched only when school authorities have a reasonable suspicion that the search will uncover evidence of a violation of law or school rules. As soon as practicable after the search of a student’s personal possessions, the school authorities will provide notice of the search to students whose lockers were searched unless disclosure would impede an ongoing investigation by police or school officials. The lockers are in good
working order. Students are asked not to kick open the locker. This causes damage to the locks and is considered vandalism. Students found attempting to open another student’s locker or opening another student’s locker will be charged with trespassing and consequences will be assigned. Students found stealing property will be charged with theft and consequences will be assigned.

By entering the school parking lot, the person driving any vehicle is deemed to consent to complete search of the vehicle for any reason. Such search may be conducted by school officials or by law enforcement officers at the request of the school officials. If any person in the car other than the driver is the current custodian of the vehicle, consent to search is deemed given by the custodian also. The area of search will include the entire passenger compartment, engine compartment, trunk and under-carriage, and all containers therein, locked or unlocked.

SCHOOL PHOTOS
Lifetouch will take photographs of every 9th-11th grade student and seniors who need an I.D. These photos are used for the yearbook (grades 9-11) and for student ID cards (grades 9-12). Retakes will be offered. There is no cost for the photo used for the I.D. card and yearbook. Students may order, at their own expense, a packet of photos from Lifetouch.
 

Posters, notices and printed materials must be preapproved and stamped before hanging them up. Flyers should be no larger than 8.5” x 11” in size with no graphics and must be hung in approved areas. Flyers must include the name of the student-led group, brief purpose of group/meeting, date, time; location of meeting, and contact information (name, email, phone, Twitter handle). For approval, see Dr. Franchino in the main office. POSTERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED WILL BE TAKEN DOWN.

(LAPTOPS, TABLETS, CELL PHONES, ETC.) AND OTHER NON TECHNOLOGY GAMES (CARDS, DICE, ETC).

Disturbances which interrupt educational opportunities may include but are not limited to laptops, tablets, cell phones, laser pens, playing cards, dice and other nuisance articles. Personal technology is a valuable tool that can enhance teaching, learning and communication in the Eastview High School Community. Students have the opportunity and privilege to use these devices in a manner that promotes learning and communication, and, at the same time, does not disrupt or compromise the integrity of the school environment.

Students are permitted to use personal devices between classes and during lunch and when permitted by their teacher. However, generally, teachers will direct students to keep their cell phone in their pocket or backpack. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary consequences. In some cases, teachers may collect phones at the beginning of the period. Parents are asked to refrain from calling/texting their children during the school day as this is disruptive to learning. Parents should call the attendance office if there is an immediate need to contact their child.

The school lunch program provides nutritious, low cost meal selections. Independent School District 196 uses a computerized system for the payment of school meals. Every student is assigned a four or five digit personal identification number. This number must be used to receive the student rate for school meals. Students may deposit pre-payments into their lunch account or pay cash in the lunch line daily. Deposits may be made to the student’s lunch account through the new meal account deposit system myPaymentsplus (Online Credit Card Payments).

Dress or grooming which is disruptive of the classroom or school atmosphere is not allowed. Shoes must be worn at all times for health and safety reasons. Clothing must be worn that covers the midriff, chest and  undergarments. Clothing cannot cover the face or obscure a student’s identity in any way. In addition, eyes and ears must be clear for learning (i.e. no sunglasses or earbuds during class time).

Independent School District 196 DOES NOT provide insurance covering student injuries occurring at school. Parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to review their present insurance policy in order to assure that your son/daughter will receive appropriate coverage in case of injury.

District 196 and Eastview High School have partnered with Water’s Edge Counseling & Healing Center and Associated Clinic of Psychology with the help from a grant by the Minnesota Department of Human Services to provide mental health services to our students and families. Therapists from Water’s Edge and ACP provide services that include individual therapy, family therapy, individual skills training and family skills training in collaboration with the family and EVHS to provide the appropriate care for the student. Water’s Edge and ACP will work directly with your insurance provider on your behalf to answer questions and service will be provided regardless of your insurance coverage. If you have questions about a referral to this program, please connect with your Eastview school counselor.

Emergency Information must be completed on-line by parent/guardian each school year for each student in your Parent Portal Campus account.
 

The Nurse’s Office is located next to the Attendance Office. Any student who is ill or in need of first aid should see the nurse. The student should first get a pass from his/her classroom teacher – unless it is an emergency. If a student is too ill to remain in school, as determined by the nurse, the nurse will notify the parents and sign the student out of school. If this procedure is not followed, the absence will be considered unexcused and the possibility of a disciplinary action may follow. The student may be released only to their parent(s) or an adult designated by his/her parent(s).
Students who have prolonged illness, defined by three (3) consecutive days out of school, and are unable to attend school should contact the nurse for homework collection. There is a 24-48 hour turn around for homework collection.

Healthy students are successful students

Our school staff provide a variety of services that support a healthy learning community. We are committed to providing students with health conditions access to their education by facilitating their independence and creating a community of support by working collaboratively with the student, their family and district staff. School nurses promote optimal student health for optimal learning. 

Establish healthy habits early to ensure your child’s success

Instilling healthy habits and routines (adequate sleep/nutrition) and consistent attendance ensures a student’s success in school even as early as kindergarten. We know that too many absences/tardies, for whatever reason, can cause children to fall behind both academically and socially.

To help ensure healthy habits consult with your health care provider regarding well-visits and immunizations, as well as maintain good hygiene.

All incoming students must provide proof of complete immunization records, as deemed by MN State law, or one of the legal alternatives. Beginning in the Fall 2014 all incoming 10th grade students will be required to provide proof of the Meningococcal vaccination or legal exemption.
