PREFACE To Students and Parents: Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year. For this new year to be successful for your child, we must all work together. This student handbook is designed to help us do this. The Mission CISD Student Handbook contains information needed by both students and parents during the school year. The Handbook is divided into three sections: The first section (pages 2-27) contains School-Related Information, operations and requirements organized alphabetically by topic. The second section (pages 29-55) contains the Student Code of Conduct. The third section (pages 56-61) contains the Acceptable Use Guidelines for Internet / Extranet System with Parent Information Letter. When the Handbook uses “we” or “our,” it means the school District and/or school administrators. When the Handbook uses “you” or “your,” it means the parent, legal guardian, or person who has accepted responsibility for a student, at least in regard to school matters. From time to time, the Handbook will use more general terms, such as “parents” and “school officials.” Regardless of the particular terminology, our intention is to speak directly to you as the adults who are responsible for working with us, the school officials, to make your children’s experience with the Mission CISD public schools a positive educational experience. The Student Handbook has been developed by school District administrators. The content is reviewed by the Board of Trustees and is intended to be consistent with formally adopted School Board policies. If there is an apparent contradiction between information in the Handbook and a formally adopted Board policy, the school administration will interpret the Handbook in a way that is consistent with policy and may request guidance from the Board of Trustees. The Student Handbook is not a contract between the school and parents or students. It can be amended at any time at the discretion of the school district. If the district makes changes to the Handbook during a school year, the administration of the district and the campus will communicate those changes in ways that are designed to inform parents and students of the new or revised information. We strongly recommend that parents review the entire handbook with their children and keep it as a reference during this school year. If you or your child has questions about any of the material in this handbook, please contact your child’s campus principal, teacher or counselor. The inside front cover contains campus phone numbers and the inside back cover contains helpful District Contacts including department names and phone numbers for your assistance. A copy of the District’s policy manual is available in hard copy at Central Office by contacting Craig Verley, Director for Public Relations at 323-5530 or on-line at www.tasb.org/policy/pol/private/108908 or at the Mission CISD website at www.mcisd.net. Thank you for your attention to your child's education. We look forward to the success of the coming year.

DESCRIPTORS Academic Achievement; *Adolescents; *Athletics; Elementary Secondary Education; *Health Promotion; High Risk Students; *Physical Education; Physical Fitness; *Sport Psychology IDENTIFIERS Strength Training ABSTRACT This document summarizes a conference on the potential impact of sports on at-risk youngsters. More than 40 scholars and practitioners met to explore the role that sports programs play in promoting academic success, health and fitness, responsible social behaviors, and self-confidence, and ways that such programs could be expanded to reach those most in need. David A. Hamburg reported on the Carnegie Corporation's work in the area of youth development. James P. Comer discussed risk and opportunity in adolescence, the important role athletics can play in teaching personal discipline and perseverance, and the lack of training for persons working with young people. Robert L. John reviewed the developmental stages of early adolescence and the challenges health providers face in promoting young people's health. Reginald Clark explored the educational, social, and emotional needs of adolescents and how sports programs' improve or hinder educational outcomes. Further discussion covered the Skillman Foundation Michigan report (1995), barriers to young people's participation in sport, and creating the structures among foundations, municipal governments, and federal agencies to continue to identify and address youth needs on an ongoing basis.
