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.
 

Parties and “snacks” are not allowed in the classrooms during the regular school day. School organizations and clubs may schedule parties outside the regular school day by requesting approval from the appropriate administrator.

(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 before school in the commons or through the new meal account deposit system PayPAMS (Online Credit Card Payments).

All fund-raising activities must have prior approval by the administration. This includes before, during, and after school. School organizations that would like to sponsor a fund- raiser must secure an application from the Main Office.
 

Clothing may not include words or visuals which are obscene, abusive or discriminatory, gang-related, or which advertise narcotics or drugs. 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). Students will be asked to change the garment in question or subject to disciplinary consequences in the event of noncompliance with these regulations.

 T-SHIRT/CLOTHING POLICY (Student Designed/Coordinated)
     

Any t-shirt/clothing that is coordinated (designed, purchased, distributed,etc) without the direction of a coach, advisor or teacher must be approved by an administrator at Eastview High School.

All t-shirt/clothing sales representing any group or classes at EVHS must be presented to an EVHS Administrator for approval.  The t-shirt/clothing must be approved 5 school days prior to wearing at school or at a school function. Students wearing t-shirts/clothing without the express written permission from an EVHS administrator will be considered insubordinate.

The T-Shirt/Clothing Approval Form can be picked up in the main office.

School dances are planned by the Student Council for EVHS students. Current EVHS ID cards are required to be shown at the admission station.

A Mid-Term Progress Report will be distributed to the student to be brought home during the fifth week of each quarter. A report card giving a final grade in each subject will be brought home by the student approximately two weeks after the conclusion of the quarter and posted to the Parent/Student portal accounts. Q4 reports will be posted to the Parent/Student Portal. In addition to Mid-Term Progress Reports and end-of-quarter report cards, teachers will elect to mail or e-mail notices of students excellence and “Plans
for Improvement” to parents. Parental communication with teachers, counselors, and administrators is encouraged.
In addition to the grades of A, B, C, and NC, the following grade options are also available:

I+     Incomplete. This mark is for the student who has not reached identified course outcomes at the end of the quarter. The I+ grade allows the teacher and student to develop a remediation plan within an agreed upon timeline. The grade may be changed to an appropriate letter grade when identified course outcomes have been met. The I+ grade indicates no credit for the course.

P     This indicates a passing grade (with credit) for students who elect to take a course on a Pass/No-Credit basis.

NC     This mark indicates a non-passing grade and no credit is earned, however, the mark does not impact GPA. Assigned with admin/counselor approval only.

NG     This mark indicates that no grade will be assigned due to non-completion of the course, unforeseen circumstances, etc.. No credit is earned and the mark does not impact GPA. Assigned with admin/counselor approval only.

When a student is having academic difficulty in a class, the teacher should be consulted for assistance. It is also suggested that the student inform his/her counselor of the problem, especially if grades in more than one class are being affected. Students who fail a required class should see their counselor without delay to make
arrangements for repeating the course. Failure to make up required courses will jeopardize a student’s graduation. Credits for failed elective subjects must also be made up. The advice of the school counselor must be sought in deciding which classes should be repeated and where substitute credits are acceptable.
Incomplete grades are assigned at the discretion of the teacher to those students who have not successfully completed required class assignments/expectations during the quarter. When students receive an incomplete grade they should see their teacher as soon as possible to arrange for needed make-up work and hand it in on time. The deadline for making up an incomplete grade is 10 days into the next quarter.
Incomplete grades that are not made up will result in failure for the course and, as a result, loss of credit.
Attendance in class is strongly related to a student’s participation and grades. Class absences necessitate make-up work which, if not completed on time, may lead to failure or incomplete grades. In general, students have two days per day of excused absence in which to turn in make-up homework. The teacher should be consulted for additional classroom rules with respect to absences from class and required make-up of work assigned.
If a student is removed from class, after the first week of the quarter, he/she will receive a failing grade (with no credit) and be assigned to a transitional study hall. This condition applies whether the student is enrolled on an A/F basis or a Pass/ No-Credit basis.
 

Students may take one course (.75 credit) each quarter (3 credits each year) on a “Pass/No- Credit” basis. This option is to encourage students to explore interests in a subject and yet not risk receiving a low grade.
Students must apply within the first 15 school days of the quarter. Written permission of parents is required. Application forms are available in the Counseling Office. “Pass/No-Credit” students will take all tests, turn in all regular class work and receive marks along with the other students. The final mark will be a “Pass” if the student completes all work at the passing level. The student also has the option to take the grade earned. Please inform the teacher of your final decision at the end of the term. The final mark will be “No-Credit” if the student does not complete all work at the passing level. A credit toward graduation will be granted for a “Pass” mark. No credit toward graduation will be granted for a “No-Credit” mark. Subjects taken on the “Pass/No-Credit” basis will not be averaged into a student’s class rank or honor roll standing. However, overall class rank may be affected for students choosing the “Pass/No-Credit” option due to the honor point/credits attempted mathematical conversion. The EVHS attendance policy will be in effect for students choosing the
Pass/No-Credit option. A class taken through the Pass/No-Credit option will not count toward the Honors Ranking System.
If a student is taking a class on the Pass/No-Credit basis and is removed from class by an administrator or fails to meet the minimum requirements of the course, the student will receive a grade of “F” for the course and be assigned to transitional study hall for the remainder of the quarter. The NCAA may accept the Pass/No-Credit option for core academic courses by applying a “D-” as the grade for the course for a “P” grade earned.

As a result of the carefully developed scheduling process, it is unlikely that students will be allowed to change their schedule. However, in the event of an unusual need to change a class schedule, students should request a schedule change form from the Counseling Office, get parent approval, and meet with their counselor.
Students are responsible for reviewing their full-year schedules which are posted on the Student and Parent portal accounts. Specific schedule adjustment timelines are also posted on the Student/Parent Portal.
Late schedule changes will not be accepted unless a student with extenuating circumstances makes a request. Approval by the assistant principal and parent is necessary to accomplish the change. A student who has been denied a schedule change may drop a course with a grade of F. Parent permission is required to do so.
