2. SEMESTER SYSTEM
Eston Composite School operates on a 6 day timetable cycle. Most of the courses at the Junior High Level are non-semestered while many of the Senior High Level courses are semestered. Students in grades 10 - 12 are to take a full timetable course load, as is deemed possible (following Division Board Policy). Grade 12 students are allowed one open slot (spare) per semester.

3. COURSE CHANGES
Course change requests must be made within the first two weeks of September for all non-semestered subjects or within two weeks after the start of any semestered course. A course change form must be filled out by the student and parent/guardian. The principal must approve of all course changes. After the two week period changes in classes will only be done after a meeting with parents and the teacher.

4. TEXTBOOKS
Texts are supplied to students at no charge on the condition of being returned in good shape at the end of the course. Students who do not return texts or who have a book showing deliberate damage will be assessed charges.

5. NOON HOUR
- Students eat in designated classrooms and will be responsible for cleaning up. Bus students must have a permission form (signed by a parent/guardian) filed with the office in order to be permitted to leave the school grounds at noon.

6. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
- After school hour practices are restricted to those persons who the supervising staff members wish to have present. School tournaments, games and activities are under the general supervision of coaches and/or supervising staff who have the final word on those present.

7. TELEPHONES
- Students may require the use of the telephone for special circumstance during class time. The student must ask the teacher for permission to use the telephone during this time. Long distance calls can only be made through the office. Cellular Phones are not to be used during class periods (for telephone calls, text messaging, etc.). Parents are asked to telephone the school phone number and leave a message for their child to contact them at the break so that classes are not disrupted.

CELLPHONES AND MP3 PLAYERS (as of January 30,2008)
Cell phones may be used during the breaks but are not to be used in class at any time. Students are advised to leave them in their lockers or, if they carry them, to turn them off in class. Any student caught using a cell phone during class time will have it taken away for the remainder of the day. Refusal to comply will result in the further disciplinary actions being taken. Teachers will report to the principal when a cell phone is taken away and the student can obtain the phone at the end of the day from the principal. A student who continues to use their phone will be held responsible for their actions as outlined in the Saskatchewan Education Act and Sun West School Division Policy. Mp3 players are not allowed during exams. At any other time, use of these devices is at the discretion of the teacher. Students are required to follow the direction of the teacher when using these devices and failure to do so will be treated in a similar manner as cell phones.

8. VENDING MACHINE / DRINK POLICY
- The drink machines are to be used only during breaks, at noon and before and after school. Teachers have the choice to allow water in the classroom during class with the exception being the Booster Juice which provides students with a liquid breakfast. No pop, juice, sport drinks or other beverages besides water is to be in the classrooms or in other places where students can access them during class periods. This applies to exam periods.

9. MILK PROGRAM
- Students are able to purchase milk on a pre-purchase order form distributed at the start of the school year.
- Grade 1-4 students will receive updated milk order letters throughout the school year. The grade 1-4 student milk orders will be kept with the noon supervisors.
- Grade 5-12 students can purchase their own “milk card” at any time during the year from the school office. (Milk cards are set up for 20 milk at the cost of $ .60 each - totalling $12.00 for each card.) Students are responsible for their card and any re-ordering throughout the year.

10. LOCKERS
- Each student is assigned a locker and may purchase a school combination lock. The locker and lock are registered with the school office. Students are advised not to reveal their lock combination or put any valuables in their lockers. The school does not assume responsibility for items lost or stolen from lockers.
In cases where students have brought their own locks, if a student forgets the combination and the school must break the lock for student to enter their locker, the school does not assume the cost of breaking the lock. The lockers are to be kept clean, so students are encouraged to regularly empty them of unneeded material. All locks and lockers are the property of the school and not private. The administration has the legal right to search lockers if it is believed there is a reason to conduct a search.

11. ACCIDENTS
- In case of injury, the circumstances must be reported immediately to the teacher in charge or to the office. Teacher in charge is asked to contact the parents and inform them of the student injury. A written report will be completed by the teacher, filed with the administration and sent to the board.

12. PARKING/DRIVING
- Parking in the school lot will be for staff and visitors only. Students are NOT to be parking vehicles in the school parking lot. Student vehicles may be parked on the street or in the vacant lot across the road from the southwest corner of the school. (Arrangements have been made with the Town for use of this lot.) Please take note of the following:
∙ the area directly behind the school storage shed is a No Parking Zone
∙ the area on th south side of school, where the extra bus is kept and the shop is located, is a Restricted Parking Zone for division staff and handicap parking only. This is not to be used as a drop-off zone.
∙ the north side of the parking lot, along 7th Avenue, will be for school visitor parking only. The street side of this space, along 7th Avenue, is where students can be picked up and dropped off. Parents/Guardians that are here to pick up a student may park in this 5 minute “Pick-up Zone”.

13. BICYCLES
are to be parked in designated areas only. Students should lock their bikes. The school does not assume any responsibility for the loss, theft or damage to any bicycle that has been brought to or near school property.

14. RESTRICTED AREAS

15. SMOKING/DRUGS/ALCOHOL
- Students shall not be in possession of, or use, or be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at any time in any school related activity.

The following will be handled in accordance to Sun West Division Policy:

1. EDUCATION ACT, 1995 DUTIES OF THE STUDENT

(150) In the exercise of his/her right of access to the school of the division and to the benefits of the educational services provided by the board of education, every pupil shall cooperate fully with all persons employed by the board and such other persons that have been lawfully assigned responsibilities and functions with respect to the instructional program of the school or such special or auxiliary services as may be provided by the board or the department and without restricting the generality of the foregoing, every pupil shall:
a) attend school regularly and punctually
b) provide himself/herself with such supplies and materials not furnished by the board of education as may be considered necessary to his/her courses of study by the principal
c) Observe standards approved by the board of education with respect to cleanliness and tidiness of person, general deportment, obedience, courtesy and respect of the right of other persons.
d) be diligent in his/her studies
e) conform to the rules of the school approved by the board of education and submit to such discipline as would be exercised by a kind, firm and judicious parent.

(151) Every pupil shall be accountable:
a) to the teacher for his/her conduct on the school premises during school hours as the teacher is in charge of the pupil in class or while engaged in authorized school activities conducted in out-of-school hours.
b) to the principal for his/her general deportment at any time that he/she is under the supervision of the school and members of the teaching staff, including the time spent in travelling between the school and his/her place of residence.
c) subject to the stated policies of the board of education, to the driver of a school bus and to any other person appointed by the board for the purpose of supervision during hours when pupils are in the personal charge of such employees of the board, and those employees shall be responsible to and report to the principal in accordance with the procedures approved by the board.

2. ECS ATTENDANCE POLICY - as of June, 2008

a) Attendance and Absences
- It is the responsibility of the subject teacher to record absences and notify the school office. Parents/students are required to account for all absences and lates by contacting the office. Once a student has 5 unexcused absences, a letter will be sent to parents and a meeting will be held to discuss the situation. At 8 unexcused absences a second letter will be sent home. At 10 unexcused absences the student will be removed from the class.

The following types of responses do not qualify as excused absences from school:
- had to pay a bill
- had a hair appointment
- had to go to the bank
- had to go pick up my car
- was having lunch
- slept in
- skipped out
- needed a day off

b) Release from School
- Students who are leaving the school, other than for career work experience classes or grade 12 spares, must obtain a release slip and must have parent permission. Failure to do so will result in an unexcused absence.

c) Lates
- Students are to arrive to class on time and with materials. It is the responsibility of the subject teacher to resolve issues involving lates. The following guidelines are based upon recommendations from meeting with students:
1st and 2nd lates - reminder
3rd and 4th lates - 15 minutes
5th and 6th lates - 30 minutes - call home to discuss with parents
7th and more lates - 1 hour

The students expressed that there must be a consistency with all lates.


3. POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT POLICY:
Student support at Eston School is grounded in a belief that children will learn from mistakes if guided and assisted through a growth process. The Sun West School Division’s Positive Behaviour Support Policy (No. 407) will form the foundation for student support. In combination with the School Code of Conduct, the Student Support Policy outlines the process that will be followed within the school.


Work Periods and Career Work Exploration Periods (as of January 30, 2008)
This is a reminder that all students who have a work period in their schedule must sign-out at the office indicating where they will be during their work period. Students who do not do this, after being reminded, will be required to remain at school. Because the school is required to know where all students are during the school day in case of an emergency, students need to indicate a location. Students who have a scheduled CWEx period on a day other than days 2 or 3 are to be in the Resource Center working on class work. Failure to do so will result in the student being assigned a work room.

Grade 12 Student Spares

Students who do not have a scheduled class are to indicate where they will be during this period. Students remaining in school need to indicate where they will be and students leaving the building will indicate this on the Spare Sign-out form. Failure to follow these procedures will result in disciplinary actions.

SCHOOL DRESS CODE
(Approved by the ECS Staff and Local Trustees - May, 2005)
Students are encouraged to dress in an appropriate manner. The following listed are not acceptable: hats/hoods in school, sunglasses in class, offensive T-shirts that promote intoxicants, drugs, sexism or racism, or other clothing inappropriate for the school setting.

This policy has been reviewed and approved by our local board of trustees. Implementation of the policy is to be at the discretion of the principal, in conjunction with the staff. As a staff and local board, we would encourage parents to assist us in creating a environment conducive to learning. Clothing that displays messages of explicit language, violence, drugs/alcohol or has sexual connotations is inappropriate. In addition, clothing that is revealing is disruptive to the educational atmosphere and will not be allowed. General guidelines include a covered back, shoulders, midriff and chest area with a suitable length for all shorts and skirts. Students who are dressed inappropriately will be required to change.
We are aware that fashion is a manner in which youth express themselves, but it must also be appropriate for the situation. We also realize that each particular fashion has a place in a particular setting; therefore, we would ask for parent’s help in creating an atmosphere that is conducive to learning.


ECS INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY - According to Sun West S. D. Policy
All students will have to sign an agreement at the beginning of each year. Guidelines 419.1

For Parents, Staff and Students of the Sun West School Division

Introduction:
Computer technology is available to students and staff of the Sun West School Division. We are very pleased to bring this technology to our students and staff and believe it offers vast, diverse, and unique resources to them. Our goal, in providing these services is to promote educational excellence in classrooms and administrative productivity in offices.

Terms and Conditions:
Computer system access is provided through a complex network. The smooth operation of the network relies upon the proper conduct of the end users who must adhere to strict guidelines. These guidelines are provided so that parents/guardians, students, and staff are aware of the responsibility students and staff are about to acquire. In general, this requires efficient, ethical and legal use of the network resources. If a Sun West School Division user violates any of these provisions, his or her access may be terminated and future access could be denied.

Violations of these guidelines will be dealt with for disciplinary action by the classroom teacher and subsequently by school administration as would be the procedure with other student behavioral issues that require the management of a safe and caring school environment. Violations of provincial or federal law will be referred to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Acceptable Use:
The use of the Board’s computer systems must be in support of education and research. Use of other organizations’ networks or computing resources must comply with the rules appropriate for that network. Transmission of any material in violation of any federal or provincial regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, threatening or obscene material, or material protected by trade secret. If an inappropriate site is accidentally accessed, it is the user’s responsibility to make the supervising teacher aware.

Privileges:
The use of the computer system is a privilege. Each student who accesses the Board’s computer systems will be part of a discussion with a staff member about the proper use of the system. Principals will deem what is inappropriate use for students and their decision is final. Also, senior division administrators may prevent access to a computer system any time as required. School administration may deny, revoke, or suspend specific student user access. The Board expects teachers to monitor student access for which he or she is responsible. This may include random checks of files and/or e-mail to determine whether the systems are being used in a manner that is consistent with the educational goals of the Board. Students and staff accepting access to Board computer systems must consent to such monitoring.

Responsibilities:
Students and staff are expected to abide by the generally accepted rules of computer and network etiquette. These include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. Use the computer or network for legal activity (e.g., violating copyright or other contracts, gaining illegal access or entry into other computers is not legal).

2. The computer or network shall not be used for financial or commercial gain.

3. Interference with the proper operation of the Sun West School Division systems and networks, as well as systems and networks accessible through the Internet is not acceptable.

4. Your access to a computer or network must not disrupt the use of the facilities by other users.

5. Network or Internet accounts owned by another individual must not be used.

6. Your network or Internet account must not be shared with another individual.

7. While accessing the Internet you must not reveal your personal address, phone number, name, or the personal address/phone number of a colleague.

8. Vandalism of computer resources is defined as any malicious attempt to harm or destroy hardware, software, or data of another person. This includes, but is not limited to, the uploading or creation of computer viruses.

9. All disks are to be scanned, by the user, for viruses before use in any Sun West School Division system.

10. When a person can identify a security problem on the network, they must notify a school’s lead teacher or administrator. The problem should not be demonstrated to other users.

11. Be polite. Any abusive messages to other, inappropriate language, vulgarities, abusive or any other inappropriate language are not acceptable.

12. Engaging in any other inappropriate computer related activity (sexually suggestive, racial or hate sites, etc.) not defined above are also not acceptable.

Section 301.2 of the Criminal Code suggests that it is an offence to gain access to, or use, or, attempt to gain access to, or use, a computer system without authorization. As well, section 387(1.1) of the Criminal Code provides that the unauthorized alteration or destruction of data or programs may be an offence. Further, when prosecuting such an offence, the Crown prosecutor has the option of proceeding by indictment or by a summary procedure. For extremely serious cases under indictment, such as instances of accessing systems that affect human life, penalties may be as high as ten years’ imprisonment. Financial penalties, as a result of summary convictions are becoming increasingly severe. Other provisions of Section 387 hold that the willful destruction of property, damage of property or interference with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property is an offence.

Notice to Students and Parents/Guardians
The Sun West School Division and the staff of the Sun West School Division do not guarantee that any functions, facilities, or services accessed through its network, including the Internet, will be free of defects or errors. Accordingly, the Sun West School Division and its employees are not responsible for any loss or damages associated with its network including losses associated with interruptions in service or loss of data. Users use Sun West School Division accounts at their own risk and are responsible for making their own arrangements to secure their data.

The Sun West School Division and its employees are not responsible for the accuracy, quality, or integrity of information obtained through or stored on the Sun West School Division network.

Right to Inspect:  All Sun West School Division network accounts are subject to reasonable search. E-mail records and files may be inspected and copied, and a history of visited sites and utilized services may be searched in the event of a reasonable suspicion of violation of acceptable computer use at the school level, or of the policies and regulations of the Sun West School Division. The search will be reasonable and related to the suspected violation.

As well, any type of web page design must first be filtered through the teacher.


STUDENT EXAM REGULATIONS

1. Students are responsible for being prepared to write an examination on the specified day.
2. Students who know that they will be absent for any scheduled assessment are to inform the teacher prior to the date that they will be absent. The teacher shall make alternate arrangements for the assessment to be done at a mutually convenient time, if the reason given is acceptable.
