PARKING, DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP

Student drop-off and pick-up Student drop-off and pick-up should occur via the large parking lot (C lot) to the west of the Wellness Center and north of Kulp Auditorium. Parents/guardians should never use the bus lane in front of Kulp and the Wellness Center; it is a fire lane and buses for field trips may be there.

For student drop-off and pick-up, parents/guardians should never use the dangerous driveway leading to a STAFF-ONLY parking lot near the Cayuga Street Bridge. 7

Buses on the Lake Street bus loop need to load wheelchairs before and after school so NO students should be picked up or dropped off by parents/ guardians at these times. Lake Street pick-ups for appointments are allowed between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Visitor parking Visitor parking is provided in the first 2 rows of C lot. Visitors are required to register their license plate number in the main office to avoid ticketing.

For evening concerts and sports events, parking is permitted in C-Lot and K-lot.

Parking for Students For students, parking permit application cards may be picked up in the main office or room E23, but completed paperwork may only be returned to room E23. Students fill out a registration card, have it signed by their parent/ guardian, then bring the card, $20 for the parking fee, and a copy of both their driver’s license and proof of insurance to Jay Barnes in room E23. Seniors are given priority although Juniors may also apply. Spaces are limited; apply early. Unpaid fines may limit participation in many school events, such as dances, checking out library books and end-of-the-year events. See “Parking Rules” in the Student Handbook.

BUSES/TRANSPORTATION

274-2128 150 Bostwick Rd.

James Ellis, Transportation Manager [email protected]

Bus schedules and pick-up/drop-off locations are mailed in late August.

If your child is enrolled in a Zero period class, you must contact the Transportation Department at 274-2128 to arrange a different pick-up time and location.

Late buses leave the high school from the bus lane to the north of Kulp Auditorium at 4:45 p.m. on Monday through Thursday. Your child must obtain a bus pass from the supervisor of an afterschool club or activity prior to getting on any late bus. Late buses do not follow the usual routes. Students can consult a list of Late Bus routes posted in the main office or ask any driver which bus to take. 8

School Cancellations or Emergencies In the event of a school cancellation or emergency, PLEASE DO NOT PHONE THE SCHOOL, Transportation Department, media or staff. Families may be alerted by an automated telephone message, so please make sure the IHS registrar has your family’s most up-to-date contact information on file. When appropriate, a press release will also be distributed as soon as possible.

Attendance Policy Parents/guardians are responsible for emailing or calling Attendance staff before 10 a.m. on each day their child is absent. Within three (3) days of any absence, a written note or email stating the reason for the absence must be sent to Attendance staff.

Appointments & Early Dismissal Prior to the start of school on the day of the appointment, students should submit a note from their parent/guardian to Attendance. The note should indicate if someone other than the parent/guardian is picking up the student, or if the student has permission to drive or walk to the appointment. Students will receive an early dismissal slip that must be shown to the classroom teacher and taken with them to show to any staff member who may inquire. A student without a note from a parent/ guardian must report to the Attendance Office where staff will contact a parent/ guardian to confirm the appointment. If a parent/guardian has made an appointment that a student is not aware of, the parent should notify Attendance immediately. This will give staff time to locate the student and have him/her ready for pick up at the appropriate time.

Policy for Requesting Homework Students will have as many days as they were absent, plus one (1) to make up work. Not all work, especially work that is participatory and contributive in nature, can be made up. At the discretion of the teacher, alternative work may be provided as make up work. Previously assigned work, due the day of absence is due the day student returns. Note: A teacher may designate a specific day/time to make up labs, quizzes, and tests. 9

1 or 2 days absent: The student or parent/guardian should contact teachers when the student returns to school.

3 or more days: Contact the Student Services Office (274-2157) to request assignments. Staff will contact the student’s teachers and a folder will be provided in the Student Services office for all assignments. Plan on at least one day for teacher notification and homework collection. Assignments can be picked up until 3:45 p.m. in room J18. Please indicate if illness will be long-term.

Over 5 consecutive days: A tutor may be requested. Students must have a doctor’s verification to qualify for tutoring. The Medical Office Fax is (607) 274-2174.

Illness During the School Day If a student becomes sick during the school day and must leave, he/she must go to the Medical Office. The student can leave the school only after a person officially listed as the student’s parent, guardian, or emergency contact goes to Attendance to sign the student out. Upon the student’s return to school, a parent/guardian or doctor must submit a note or email to Attendance within 3 days for the absence to be excused.

Late Arrival/Tardy If a student arrives in class after class has begun but within 15 minutes of the beginning of the session, the student is marked Tardy. Any arrival later than this is considered an absence.

Students who are late because of their bus’s arrival time should report to Attendance before continuing on to their class.

Planned Absences For planned absences of 1 or 2 days, students inform teachers verbally, and parents/ guardians provide notes or emails to Attendance. Students are responsible for making arrangements with teachers to make up missed work.

For planned absences of 3 days or more, students fill out a “Planned Absence Form,” available from Attendance staff or Associate Principals. See the Student handbook for more information.

Unexcused Absences Attendance staff must record whether a student’s absence is excused. See the Student Handbook for examples of excused absences. An unresolved absence is considered unexcused. Students and families will be formally notified upon the third unexcused absence in a class. Students will be expected to meet with their counselor, Graduation Coach and/or Assoc. Principal to make a plan for improving attendance.

Phone Messages and Forgotten Items Urgent messages from parents/guardians and clearly-labeled items may be left with the Main Office secretary (274-2385). Call Attendance if a student has an unplanned medical appointment. Students can pick up items or get messages only between classes. Consult the bell schedule. 10

COURSE REQUIREMENTS, EXAMS, GRADES, TEXTBOOKS

Course Requirements All requirements and deadlines for classes, exams and graduation are described in the IHS Program of Studies, which is available through your student’s school counselor and can also be downloaded on the ICSD website via Ithaca High School>Menu>Student Services>Documents & Links>Program of Studies.

Exams During mid-term and final exams, students attend Ithaca High School only if they have exams scheduled for that day or if they attend the Career & Tech Center (BOCES). All students will be mailed a schedule that lists NY State Board of Regents exams, as well as bus and cafeteria policies that may differ during the exam period. Bus schedules will also be posted at the Main Office and outside the gym. Students need to ask their teachers if non-Regents exams for their classes will also be held during Regents week.

Students who miss a non-Regents exam must see their teacher to schedule a make- up exam. Students who miss a Regents Exam must arrange to take it when it is next scheduled. Regents exams are usually held in June, August, and January.

Grade Reports Progress Reports are mailed home and posted to the SchoolTool/ParentPortal after the 5th week of each marking period. Student Report Cards are mailed home every 10 weeks. The Progress Reports may list up to three comments per course, but may not necessarily specify grades. Parents/guardians seeking more information may contact a specific teacher or call Student Services to request a teacher conference.

Returning Textbooks, Equipment, and Calculators All textbooks and borrowed equipment must be returned when students are no longer taking a class. Students who change classes during the school year are responsible for returning the textbooks of the classes they dropped. Parents will be billed for the cost of textbooks that are not returned. Seniors with debts cannot participate in many senior activities. Graduation can be jeopardized if materials are not returned.

HEALTH SERVICES/MEDICAL OFFICE

274-2172 Room J4 Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday Medical Office Fax: 274-2174

Immunizations NYS Law requires physician, public health or school record verification of dates for immunizations (on the ICSD website, see: ICSD > MENU > Health and Wellness > Enrollment Requirements). Students from NY State will be excluded from school if proof of immunization has not been received within 2 weeks. Students from out of state or other countries have 4 weeks to obtain proof of immunization. Exchange students are included under this law. Students can obtain a copy of their immunization records from the Medical Office for about 6 years after a student graduates. 12

Physical Exams Physical exams are required for all students new to the school district, all tenth graders, and students who want to participate in a sport or obtain a working permit. A student’s physician can fax a copy of a physical exam to the Medical Office or parents/guardians or students may bring a copy to the Medical Office.

Medications The school district supplies no medication for students. In order for students to self- administer medication during the school day or at sporting events, a parent/guardian and physician must fill out and sign both the top and bottom sections of an ICSD Medication Order form or an order with equivalent information. The form must be renewed annually and faxed or brought to the IHS Medical Office.

If parents/guardians want the Medical Office to give medication to a student, parents/ guardians and a physician must fill out and sign the Medication Order form (or an order with equivalent information). The medication must be brought to school by the parent/guardian in the original container from the pharmacy. Medications and forms must be renewed annually.

Physical Education Exemption All accidents and school-related injuries should be reported to the Medical Office as soon as possible. If a medical condition or injury prevents full participation in physical education classes (PE), a note from a physician must be faxed or brought to the Medical Office. The note must state the duration of time out of PE and the level of activity permitted.

Elevator Elevator keys are available in the Medical Office for students who need to use the elevator for medical reasons. Students must pay for lost keys.

Sports participation must be approved by Medical Office Students participating in district athletics must complete the two-page Athletic Participation Form for every sport he or she plays during the school year. For example, a student who plays soccer, hockey, and lacrosse must complete the forms three times. Forms are typically due in the Medical Office at least three weeks before the start of each season (Your student will hear the due dates over the announcements and you should receive a robo call from the district.) The two-page form can be picked up outside the medical office or found on the district website: ICSD> MENU> Athletics and Wellness> Student forms, click on Athletic Participation Form. Both the student and parent/guardian must sign both sides of the form. A proof of current physical exam is also required, and if needed, medication orders. 13

SPECIALTY PROGRAMS & SERVICES

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a four-year program to help students in the academic middle who want to go to college and are willing to work hard. Students in the program commit themselves to improvement and preparation for college. AVID offers a rigorous program of instruction in college-level “survival skills.” The AVID program teaches students how to study, read for content, take notes, and manage time. Students participate in collaborative study groups led by tutors who use skillful questioning to bring students to a higher level of understanding. Ask your student’s school counselor for more information.

The Career & Tech Program of TST-BOCES provides opportunities for high school students to learn specific vocational skills to help prepare them for meaningful employment or for advanced education at a college or technical school. All Career & Tech programs and the World of Work courses are open to everyone. Consult the IHS Program of Studies for more information.

The DASA (Dignity for All Students Act) states that all students in public schools should have an environment free of discrimination and harassment. More information on DASA, including reporting forms, is available from Principal Jarrett Powers at 274- 2257 or on the ICSD website at: ICSD > MENU > Dignity for All Students Act.

The EDGE (Enriching the Day Generates Excellence) program encourages all students to join clubs and participate in activities that make use of IHS’s state-of-the-art facilities before and after school. For information, contact: Fe Nunn, District EDGE Coordinator, at 229-8530 or Karl Mellander, Student Activities Director at 274-2164.

The ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages) program works with students who have a language other than English as their first language and encompasses: English Language Learners (ELL), Limited English Proficient (LEP), English as a Second Language (ESL) and Students with Interrupted Formal Education (SIFE). The Ithaca City School District provides instruction in English while retaining a respectful and appreciative attitude toward the child’s first culture and language. Instructional strategies, which incorporate collaboration and consultation with subject area teachers, include: pre-teaching, review, and content area support in vocabulary and conceptual development.

The Learning Web is a program that provides apprenticeship opportunities to Tompkins County youth through guided career and community exploration activities, paid employment, and small business management training. Students are matched with a mentor from the community. For more information, call 275-0122. Students can talk to their school counselor about credit.

Link Crew is under the new leadership of Amalie Gorbold and Meggie New. Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors can serve as Link Leaders who welcome the incoming Freshman at orientation and support them throughout the school year. Please email Amalie or Meggie for more information ([email protected] and [email protected]). 19

New Visions offers students exposure to careers in health science or in agribusiness and life/environmental/veterinary sciences. The Health Science program is based at Cayuga Medical Center, while the Life Sciences program is based at Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. For each of the programs, instructors from Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga-BOCES organize rotations through different laboratories and teach English, Government, and Economics classes focused on either health or life sciences. To apply, students contact their school counselor.

The WISE (Individual Senior Experience) program lets second semester seniors earn academic credit while exploring career options, academic interests and vocational directions. Guided by mentors they have chosen from the Ithaca High School staff, students design individual projects and spend 8-10 hours/week during their last semester working with local schools, businesses, agencies, craftspeople or organizations. Students keep journals, meet with mentors, and make public presentations to demonstrate what they have learned. For more information, students call their school counselor or contact Alexis Lord, the WISE facilitator, at 274-2187.

Youth Employment Service (YES), a division of the Ithaca Youth Bureau, helps students ages 14–19 to find jobs. A YES representative is at the high school twice a week, usually in the cafeteria during lunch. Check out www.ithacayouthbureau.org or call 273-8364. 20
