Handbook Highlight

Each week, I'll highlight a Student/Parent Handbook policy. What makes it into the WILDCAT ROAR is usually something that I've been dealing with and/or I'm hoping to NOT have to deal with because all of our students and adults are aware of the policy. This week's Handbook Highlight is...

ATTENDANCE POLICY GRADES 6-12
The Slater Board of Education, school administration, and teachers believe that the responsibility for students attending school lies jointly with the student, the parents, and the school. The following attendance policy is designed to maximize student attendance while allowing for the necessary absences from school throughout the year.

1. Parents are requested to telephone the school at 660-529-2278 by 8:30 a.m. when their child will be absent from school. If no call is received by 8:30 a.m., the office secretary will attempt to make contact with parents.

2. Students are allowed to make up all work missed during an absence unless the absence is the result of an out-of-school suspension. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain and complete missed assignments, which are subject to individual teacher policies.

3. Juniors may request to take 2 college visits. All seniors are allowed 3 college visits. Arrangements must be made in advance through the Counselor’s office. If arrangements are not made in advance they will not be excused.

4. Field trips or any activity sponsored by the school are not considered absences from school. Students are responsible for informing teachers of their absences and obtaining assignments the day before the scheduled event.

5. For credit purposes, any student that is 25 minutes or more late for a class will be considered absent from that class.

6. Students with an attendance rate below 90% will not be allowed open lunch.

7. Students must be in attendance for at least 4 consecutive hours of that school day to participate in or attend any school sponsored event.

8. Students must be in attendance for at least 4 consecutive hours on Friday to participate in or attend any school sponsored weekend activities.

9. Students that fall below 90% attendance rate will appear before the Attendance Review Committee.

Restricted

Students, please don't park on the West side of the gravel lot (facing Morgan Street/Greenhouse, Weight Room, Maintenance Shed).

We need that area for District vehicles and staff members.

Thank you!

Where'd You Go?

Students, if you're not coming back from lunch, please let Ms. Wiseman know - either before you leave for lunch, or call from where you are. Failure to do so could result in a Truancy Referral...

(See contact information above.)

Due to liability concerns from MUSIC, our insurance company, pets are not permitted on school property.

This excludes service animals and classroom/curricular animals, pre approved by a Building Principal.

Parking Spot Painting

The time has come, students!

If you earned a reserved parking spot (21-22 Students of the Month, Field Day Winners - see the list below), you're officially able to begin the painting process! See the Contract below. Printed copies are available in the HS Office.

Spoiler alert:

- There's a $25 deposit this year. You'll get it back after repainting your spot at a day and time to be determined. Materials for this will be provided by the school.

Clarification:

You don't have to be on the list to park at school/drive. These are the students who have earned reserved spots that they may choose to personalize by painting. If you don't have a reserved spot, you can park in the Gravel Lot south of the HS Building or North of the ECC, off of Morgan Street.

Get Charged

There is a charging cart for HS Chromebooks in the HS hallway near Ms.Wiseman's office.

If your machine needs to be charged during the day, these are the locations. Do NOT unplug anyone's machine, do NOT mess with anyone else's machine, and do NOT move the carts.
