Take, for example, its roots in the earliest days of Buffalo’s Catholic past. As early as 1848, the first Bishop of the Buffalo Diocese, the Right Reverend John Timon, C.M., wanted to establish in Buffalo a system of Catholic schools. Having called on the Society of Jesus to help him alleviate a parochial problem at the Church of St. Louis, he had also struck upon the solution to his pedagogical problems.
In September 1870, the Jesuits at St. Michael’s Church on Washington Street opened a school adjacent to their residence. In its first year, this combined high school and college dedicated to Blessed Peter Canisius served fifty students, some of them boarders who resided with the Fathers themselves. In 1872, the cornerstone was laid for a new college building on Washington Street, the central portion of which was completed in November of the same year. In 1883, Canisius High School “was incorporated by the State of New York as the Academic Department of Canisius College” (Hennessy 357). In 1908, the boarding portion of the school was closed, and by September 1912, the high school served 379 boys. In December 1912, Canisius College having moved into new buildings at Main and Jefferson Streets in Buffalo, the Washington Street location was turned over to the exclusive use of the high school. In 1919, Father Robert Johnson “became the first rector of the separate high school community” (Hennessy 358). In September 1928, the high school received an independent charter, completing its separation from the College (Hennessy 364).
By the early 1940s, the buildings on Washington Street were in considerable disrepair and no longer suitable for the 400-500 boys annually attending Canisius High School. In 1944, the Jesuits purchased the former Masonic Consistory, which in turn had incorporated the former George F. Rand mansion, at 1180 Delaware Avenue. Between 1944 and 1948, the high school classes were split, with the upper school students still attending classes at the Washington Street location and the lower school classes attending the new school on Delaware Avenue.
On August 29, 1948, fully a century after Bishop Timon had expressed his desire to see Catholic education thrive in Buffalo, New York, the Reverend John F. O’Hara, C.S.C., led a solemn procession through the former Consistory and into the new classroom building in order to bless it (Hennessy 352). In September 1948, all students walked through the “big blue doors” at 1180 Delaware for the first academic year in which the school was unified in its new facility. In 1956, a permanent Jesuit residence at the high school was dedicated and named after the two alumni who had generously donated the money to construct the building: George M. Frauenheim and Edward E. Frauenheim, Jr. That building housed administrative offices and the faculty lounge.
Since 1948, Canisius High School has grown to an enrollment of over 800 young men. Significant recent additions to the facility include the installation of an artificial turf surface on Tripi Field in 2000, the purchase of 63 acres on Clinton Street for an outdoor athletic facility in 2003, the purchase of the two houses adjacent to Canisius High School on Cleveland Avenue in 2005, the acquisition of 1193 Delaware Avenue in 2006, and the gift of a mansion at 891 Delaware Avenue from Mr. Michael J. DeRose and family in 2006.
Summer of 2007 saw the groundbreaking for the Robert J. Stransky Athletic Complex which opened the following Spring. Additional expansion took place in 2008 as the school business office moved directly across the street into a building formerly owned by the Diocese of Buffalo. The school year opened in 2009 with the completion of the Montante Academic Center and the Bernard J. Kennedy Field House.

Canisius High School Mission Statement Canisius High School, located in the city of Buffalo, is a Catholic, Jesuit, independent, college preparatory school serving young men of diverse backgrounds from Western New York. Canisius challenges its students to strive for excellence as critical thinkers and effective communicators who are open to growth, intellectually competent, religiously oriented, loving, and committed to justice.
Canisius promotes the development of students through a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum firmly rooted in the Jesuit tradition of education, spirituality and service.
Faithful to St. Ignatius Loyola’s desire to provide care and concern for the whole person, Canisius affords each member of the school community the opportunity to develop individual talents for the service of others and the Greater Glory of God.
The profile of a Jesuit High School Graduate at Graduation Open to Growth At the time of graduation the Canisius High School student has matured as a person – emotionally, intellectually, physically, socially and religiously – to a level that reflects some intentional responsibility for his own growth. The graduate is at least beginning to reach out in his development, seeking opportunities to stretch his mind, imagination, feelings and religious consciousness.
Intellectually Competent By graduation, the Canisius High School student will exhibit a mastery of those academic requirements for advanced forms of education. While these requirements are broken down into departmental subject matter areas, the student will have developed many intellectual skills and understands which cut across and go beyond academic requirements for college entrance. Moreover, the student is beginning to see the need for intellectual integrity in his personal quest for religious truth and in his response to issues of social justice.
Religious By graduation, the Canisius High School gentleman will have a basic knowledge of the major doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church. The graduate will also have examined his own religious feelings and beliefs with a view to choosing a fundamental orientation toward God and establishing a relationship with a religious tradition and/or community.
Loving By the time of graduation, the Canisius High School student is well on the way to establishing his own identity. He is also on the threshold of being able to move beyond 5 self-interest or self-centeredness in relationships with significant others. In other words, he is beginning to be able to risk some deeper levels of relationship in which he can disclose himself and accept the mystery of another person and cherish that person.
Committed to Doing Justice The Canisius High School student at graduation has achieved considerable knowledge of the many needs of local and wider communities and is preparing for the day when he will take a place in these communities as a competent, concerned responsible member. He has begun to acquire the skills and motivation necessary to live as a Man for Others.
Canisius High School Diversity Statement Diversity is a core value of Canisius High School. It empowers us to provide the kind of enriching spiritual and educational experience for which Canisius has long been known. As a Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition, our students, faculty and staff are called to embrace the broad diversity of the city of Buffalo and surrounding communities. We must continue to build an inclusive campus for our students and the families that support them.
Diversity refers to the myriad of personal experiences, values, perspectives and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and circumstance. These differences include gender, ethnicity, language, religion, socio economic status, and sexual orientation. Canisius is committed to achieving diversity among the students we recruit and the staff we hire. We are committed to making a Canisius education an accessible reality to any qualified student.
Diversity is not just a cliché or a human resource policy at Canisius. It underscores who we are and what we instill in our students. The Profile of a Jesuit High School Graduate at Graduation encompasses qualities intrinsic to a diverse community; namely, students who are: open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice. A young man cannot embrace this Profile if he is not equipped with the ability and willingness to respect another’s opinion or perspective, or if he is prejudicial when interacting with others that look “different” than he. He must respect differences in various individuals’ faith traditions while upholding and understanding his own. Finally, he must learn what effect ignorant words and actions can have upon others.
Diversity is an integral part of the academic excellence we embody at Canisius. To achieve our academic mission and goals, diversity can, through a willingness of students, faculty and staff, minimize the chasm of ignorance while deepening the scholarly environment and educational experience as students and faculty better learn to interact effectively with each other. In turn, this environment then prepares them to participate in an increasingly complex and global society. Diversity increases the ability to formulate ideas and those ideas can be nurtured and made richer in a diverse school community where all opinions and views are appreciated.
Diversity Strategy: • Collaboration • Accountability • Leadership • Transparency • Respect
We will work to establish these values and bring them to life through our diversity strategy, which centers on the development of programs to attract and retain a more diverse student population and staff. This strategy also encompasses academic and personal support systems for groups with diverse backgrounds to improve retention; this includes the development of mentoring programs. To this end, our programs aim to maintain contact with students from admission to graduation.
At Canisius we recognize the need for diligence and the commitment of dedicated people, time, and resources to educate men for others who embrace the Profile of the Grad at Grad with humility. Canisius High School will continue to produce a legacy of leaders from all segments of society who will go on to make significant contributions to their city, nation, and world.

The following standards have been established to encourage such performance: GRADE SCALE: 95 - 100% Excellent 90 - 94% Very Good 85 - 89% Good 80 - 84% Average 75 - 79% Below Average 70 - 74% Near Failing 00 - 69% Failing
HONORS SYSTEM: First Honors: No grade below 90% Second Honors: No grade below 85% Third Honors: No grade below 80% and an 85 and above GPA
Academic Probation: Students may be placed on academic probation upon the recommendation of the Principal or the Assistant Principal for Academics. Students may be liable for academic probation if any of the following conditions exists: • failing two subjects in a given marking period • earning an overall marking period average of 74 or less • earning a grade of 60 or less in a course for any marking period
Students placed on academic probation will be required to show improvement in the areas of deficiency. The student will be declared ineligible to participate in a sport or activity. Students on academic probation are encouraged to attend academic support programs such as consultation and /or the Learning Lab. These programs may be mandated.
Students failing to meet the stipulations of their academic probation may be liable for mandatory withdrawal from Canisius High School at the end of any given marking period. Academic probation will be in effect as long as the Assistant Principal deems appropriate.
CREDIT: A student receives a certain amount of credit for each passed course. Varsity athletics satisfy this credit in the season of participation for seniors only. Official dates for use of this privilege will be announced by the Dean’s office.
FAILURE: The passing grade is 70%. This grade is the average of exams, tests, quizzes, papers, etc. A course is failed if the final course average is below 70%. Final averages will be calculated with each marking period weighing 20% and January and June exams weighing 10% of the total average.
All courses, regardless of credit value, must be passed before a student can be promoted or graduate. This includes courses taken outside the school in conjunction with area colleges as well as Christian Service. All failures must be remedied in a summer program approved by the Canisius Summer School Office. Students who fail to remediate any failure during any academic year prior to the start of the subsequent year are not allowed to continue their education at Canisius. All courses failed during senior year must be remediated before a diploma is issued. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate the measures necessary to remedy his failure(s).
Exam Exemptions: Exemptions from final exams may be granted to SENIORS ONLY under the following conditions: • They have an average of 90% in a particular course. • They do not exceed 10% absenteeism as described in the Student Handbook. > College visits WILL be included in the 10% calculation. > Retreats, service trips, and other school functions WILL NOT be calculated as part of the 10% attendance guideline. The instructor approves exemptions. The Assistant Principal is the final arbiter regarding exemption. 12 DISMISSAL: Students failing more than 2.5 credits at the end of the school year may be asked to withdraw from Canisius High School. Students failing to meet the stipulations of their academic probation may be liable for mandatory withdrawal from Canisius High School at the end of any given marking period.
No student will be promoted or be eligible for a diploma or a transcript until accounts have been settled. These include: 1. state textbooks 2. tuition 3. school library books 4. health records 5. JUG 6. academic credits 7. other school property
Questions regarding these areas should be directed to the Dean of Students, the Business Office, or the Principal’s Secretary.
EXIT INTERVIEWS: Any student, who desires to permanently leave Canisius High School, for whatever reason, must hold an exit interview with the Principal or his designee before records will be sent to another school. An exit interview is not necessary for students dismissed for academic or disciplinary reasons or family relocation.
Ineligibility for Extracurricular Activities
In order to foster its students’ academic success, Canisius maintains a number of provisions for assisting those students who are deficient in their academic performance. Among these is the policy of limiting student participation in all school sponsored extracurricular and interscholastic activities until such time as he demonstrates sufficient improvement in his studies.
NORMS: Students are ineligible who, at the distribution of grade reports, are failing TWO or more subjects. A grade below 70% constitutes failing.
Students may also be declared ineligible indefinitely due to disciplinary reasons as determined by the Dean of Students or whenever, in the judgment of the Principal and/or Assistant Principal, their academic welfare is in jeopardy.
Students failing TWO or more subjects as indicated by mid semester grade postings may also be declared ineligible.
Students with an un-remediated failure from a previous semester course are ineligible until the conditions to pass, as set forth by the Assistant Principal for Academics, have been met.
LENGTH OF INELIGIBILITY: The ineligibility period will last a minimum of a 10-school day period. Students who are ineligible may not participate or attend team/club functions involving any extracurricular activity. Should appropriate academic progress be shown to the Assistant Principal for Academics following that 10 school-day period, a student will be re-instated. The student will not be declared eligible until he has demonstrated the appropriate academic progress. The ineligibility period does not allow for practice and/ or participation with a sport on weekends or vacations. Students declared ineligible due to mid-marking period reports remain so at the discretion of the Assistant Principal for Academics.
REINSTATEMENT OF ELIGIBILITY: Evaluation forms are available from the Assistant Principal. The student is required to have each of his teachers complete the form and return it to the Assistant Principal for approval. If approved, the student receives a reinstatement form to be given to his coach/moderator.
Tryouts for sports and activities are not affected by ineligibility 13 PRINCIPLES, POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND EXPECTATIONS As a member of Canisius High School, each student shares in its traditions -- both Catholic and Jesuit --and is part of its reputation. Therefore, at all times during the school day and also at all school-related functions, his conduct should manifest RESPECT -- respect for himself, respect for others, and respect for property. Each student is entitled to receive the respect of the Canisius community, and it is his obligation to show respect in return. Each student is responsible for contributing actively to the atmosphere of learning and cooperation in which both students and faculty can grow. Any student who, in the school’s estimation, in any way discredits the reputation and good name of Canisius High School is subject to severe disciplinary action, including suspension and/or withdrawal. A student is considered at all times and places a member of the Canisius student body. Canisius High School reserves the right to handle cases involving student conduct and actions, regardless of when or where such actions take place, if they are of a nature as to bring discredit upon the school or are in conflict with the values for which Canisius stands or are in violation of criminal or civil law or the reasonable rights of others.
ASSEMBLIES: All students are expected to comport themselves appropriately in the auditorium. Conduct is expected to befit the occasion. Students sit in their assigned advisement locations. Attendance at assemblies is mandatory. Any student absent from an assembly without proper permission is absent illegally. The penalty for class cuts would apply.
ACADEMIC HONESTY: The Characteristics of Jesuit Education, published in 1987, reminds us that: “Growth in maturity and independence that are necessary for the growth of freedom depends on active participation rather than passive reception. Important steps toward this active participation include personal study, opportunities for personal discovery and creativity, and an attitude of reflection. The task for the teacher is to help each student become an independent learner, to assume the responsibility for his or her own education.”
Canisius High School encourages each of its students to actively participate in the learning process. It is the school’s expectation that students, over time, will be increasingly able to learn on their own and produce work that shows their integrity and their efforts. This development requires special care in maintaining an attitude of academic honesty through the student’s four years at Canisius. The academically honest student: • prepares thoroughly for all academic assignments • tries his best at all assigned tasks • takes ownership of his talents and abilities • seeks appropriate help when he fails to understand • makes proper use of the efforts and thoughts of others • takes pride in each assignment as an example of his own skill and effort
To recognize the talents and efforts of each student and to promote the fundamental principles of mutual trust and respect, Canisius encourages student effort and insists on academic honesty. Among the types of academic dishonesty not tolerated at Canisius are the following:
Cheating - student use, or attempted use, of unauthorized materials in any academic situation or solicitation of someone else to do work for which he is responsible. Examples of cheating or violation of testing protocol include but are not limited to: • using open notebooks, texts, or other course materials without permission • exchanging answers with another student on any graded assignment • copying another’s test answers with or without his permission • possessing “cheat notes” • demonstrating an intent to cheat
Students must comply with the testing procedures specified by the teacher. Violations of testing procedures will be considered under the cheating policy but may not be given the same consequence. 14 Fabrication - inventing or falsifying information. Examples include: • inventing lab data • citing sources not used
Copying examples include: • copying homework or papers from another person • acquiring answers from the internet or other electronic sources • using teacher edition texts or teacher answer keys or test copies
Deception / Misrepresentation - lying about student work or academic records. Examples include: • forging a teacher’s or parent’s signature on any document • taking credit for group work without having contributed as required
Electric Dishonesty: using network access inappropriately. Examples include: • using another’s computer account • invading another’s files • using material from another’s stored files (e.g. network storage, flash drive) • damaging or deleting another’s computer files
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the use, intentional or not, of the writing or ideas of others and representing them as one’s own. Text manipulation is plagiarism. Paraphrasing the ideas of someone else is plagiarism. Credit must be given to all outside sources, including, but not limited to: research materials, online databases, internet sources, encyclopedias, charts, graphs, pictures, quotations and paraphrasing and summaries of another’s written or spoken words. Plagiarism, regardless of intent or degree or amount, is theft and violates academic integrity. Students uncertain about what material to cite should consult teachers for guidance and advice.
Penalties for Violations: Because academic honesty serves as a measure of personal integrity and provides a foundation for the academic strength of Canisius High School, any violation of it is considered a serious offense. Such offenses are cumulative. A student remains responsible for all violations of academic honesty committed at any time during his Canisius career.
First time violators face the following consequences: • a written apology to the teacher • 0% on the work in question • 30 units of JUG • a warning that a second infraction will result in out-of-school suspension • parental notification
A second infraction entails additional consequences including: • out of school suspension [see page 24] • a conference with parents, the Dean of Students, and/or the Assistant Principal • 0% on the work in question
A third violation results in a mandatory withdrawal from Canisius High School.
ADVISEMENT: One of the hallmarks of Jesuit education is the personal care of our students. To further this tradition, Canisius has implemented the advisement system. A full time faculty member serves as a year-long advisor to a particular group of students. The advisor is the teacher designated by the Principal to exercise responsibility for the day to day monitoring of the progress and development of the students in his/her care. Advisement encourages personal daily contact between teacher and student. It enables each student to know at least one teacher well enough to approach with a variety of concerns. Advisement allows for the monitoring of a student’s progress, the recognition of difficulties, the suggestion of remedies, and the encouragement of success. Students are expected to be seated in their advisement location daily when the school day begins. Students are to be silent during announcements. Late arrivals are required to get a late pass from the Dean of Student’s Office. 15 AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES: Any student in the building after classes end must be in a location that is supervised by an adult staff member. It is imperative that students are supervised and engaged in positive activities during that time. Any student not at a structured, organized school activity may use the library for quiet study activities. All students not at a supervised activity or supervised location should leave the school building. The library is the only location in the building students are to gather if they are not at a supervised event. The library is open until 4:45 p.m. and the building closes for the day at 5:00 p.m. Students and parents should make transportation plans accordingly. Of course students who are with moderators, coaches, teachers or other staff members are welcome to remain with them in the building as long as the adult is available to do so. Parents are asked to be prompt when picking students up from activities as the school staff members have responsibilities and time constraints of their own and the school cannot provide additional supervision for students waiting for rides.
The classroom wing will be locked at 4:00 p.m. on regular school days and the entire building will be locked at 5:00 p.m daily. Students should take all belongings that they need for the evening out of the classroom wing before 4:00 p.m. Students with adult supervision may remain with their supervised activity after posted lock down time. Adult supervisors will dismiss students at their discretion.
Students are reminded to use the blue doors only for entering and exiting the school building. Propping locked doors or opening emergency exits to allow people in is strictly prohibited and students will face disciplinary sanctions if found doing so. Breaches of safety and security will be treated seriously, as they impact the safety of all members of our school community. Students who have events scheduled outside normal school day hours will be directed by the adult in charge of their activity when and where to enter and exit the building.
ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY As a Jesuit institution, Canisius High School follows an educational tradition which is based on respect. As stated in the Jesuit Secondary Education Association Document, Go Forth and Teach: The Characteristics of Jesuit Education, “School policy and school life encourage mutual respect; they promote the human dignity and human rights of each person, adult and young, in the educational community” (32).
All members of the Canisius community are entitled to an environment free from the crippling effects of harassment. The harassment of others because of religion, race, gender, national origin, age, color, physical or mental disabilities, or sexual orientation is a form of discrimination. It creates a hostile, offensive, and intimidating environment that interferes with work and study. It contaminates the atmosphere of trust that must exist in a school environment to foster independent, creative learning.
Victims of and witnesses to perceived harassment should report such instances to the Dean of Students, or other adult member of the school community. Failure to report an observed incident will be viewed as participation in the harassment. Should the allegation(s) be verified, the perpetrator(s) face a range of repercussions, including suspension and/or mandatory withdrawal.
Fighting is considered a serious offense and a breach of the school’s goal of developing Christian character. Any student involved in a fight on school grounds or at any school event, on or off campus, is liable for suspension or mandatory withdrawal.
Hazing is any conduct or method of initiation into any student organization or athletic team which willfully or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of another student and is strictly forbidden. Faculty and coaches must report any incidents of hazing to the administration. Students participating in hazing will be liable to suspension or mandatory withdrawal.
Bullying is defined as any intentional written, electronic, verbal or physical act or actions against another person that a reasonable person under the circumstances should know will have the effect of: • placing a person in reasonable fear of substantial harm to his emotional or physical well-being or substantial damage to his property 16 • creating a hostile, threatening, humiliating or abusive educational environment due to the pervasiveness or persistence of actions or due to a power differential between the bully and the target, or • interfering with a student having a safe school environment that is necessary to facilitate education performance, opportunities or benefits; or • perpetuating bullying by inciting, soliciting or coercing an individual or group to demean, dehumanize, embarrass or cause emotional, psychological or physical harm to another person
Students participating in bullying will be liable to suspension or mandatory withdrawal.
ASBESTOS INSPECTION NOTICE: Because friable asbestos-containing materials may cause health problems, EPA regulations require that the following inspection notice be published:
Canisius High School has been inspected for asbestos-containing building material and has been found to be in conformity with all requirements of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA).
A record of the inspection and a diagram of the location of asbestos-containing material are located in the Maintenance Office. For further information, interested persons should contact Mr. Roy Lauta, Director of Buildings and Grounds.
ATTENDANCE: New York State law requires regular attendance for all enrolled students. By law, an illegal absence must be excused. Students must be in attendance for one- half the school day in order to participate in or attend school related activities that day. Any absence, full or partial, must follow the same procedures. Students not in attendance for one half-day will be charged with an absence. In accordance with state law, the procedure is as follows:
Unanticipated absence: The parent or guardian must call the Dean of Students’ Office (200-0215) prior to 9:15 A.M. each day of the absence (24 hour voicemail is available). On his return to school, the student must present a note indicating the date(s) of and reason for his absence to the Dean’s Office prior to morning advisement. The note must be signed by his parent or guardian. Simply stated, a phone call or voicemail message each morning of his absence and a note on his return are required.
Anticipated absence: (Doctor’s appointment, funeral, etc.) The day before an anticipated absence, the student must present a note indicating the date(s) of and reason for his absence, signed by a parent or guardian. The parent or guardian must then call the Dean of Students’ Office (200-0215) prior to 9:15 A.M. on the day of the absence (24 hour voicemail is available). Simply stated, a note the day before and a phone call the day of the absence are required. Failure to do so results in academic and/ or disciplinary penalties.
Anticipated non-medical absence: (vacations, etc.) Canisius strongly discourages non- medical absences and assumes the legal and moral responsibility to notify parents of the potential academic consequences of such absences. In instances where a request to be absent from school is not for a medical reason or an emergency, the following procedure must be adhered to: • at least two days prior to the anticipated absence, the student’s parent or guardian must submit a written request to the Dean of Students indicating the length of and reason for the absence • the decision to be absent is made by parents, not by Canisius High School • the student assumes complete responsibility for missed course work • all days missed will be counted toward the 10% rule stated below
Early dismissal / late arrival: Any student who must leave early or arrive late due to a scheduled appointment must notify the Dean of Students’ office in writing and verify the request with a phone call or voicemail. Voicemail is available 24 hours. Students must sign in or out at the Dean of Students’ office for any early dismissal or late arrival. Students who have completed all scheduled classes for their school day, and have not been assigned consultation or Learning Lab for that day, are free to leave for the day. 17 IMPORTANT: Absence in excess of 10% for any course warrants failure and denial of course credit. Further, students illegally absent, with or without parental permission, are considered truant. This also applies to any “Skip Day.” The standard penalty for truancy is 48 units of JUG.
BULLETIN BOARD: Students may post items only on bulletin boards as approved by the Dean of Students’ Office. All students are expected to consult the Dean of Students bulletin board for messages and their Jug status daily.
CAFETERIA: All students are required to report to the cafeteria during their assigned lunch period. Students must ask for specific permission to leave the cafeteria for the purposes of using the library resources or attending a scheduled lunchtime activity only. Students permitted to leave the cafeteria must report directly to their assigned location and sign in or report to the supervising adult.
Students outside of the cafeteria without specific permission during lunch periods may face disciplinary action.
The cafeteria is available to all students and therefore requires the cooperation of all students. Students are to enter the lunch line only at the designated entrance. Regarding both the cafeteria and the patio, students are expected to: • deposit all garbage and recyclable materials in the appropriate receptacles • clean up after themselves
CAMPUS STORE: Store hours are posted on the school website www.canisiushigh.org. An online campus store is also available.
CELL PHONES: Cell phones are to be off in the building between the hours of 8:20 A.M. and 2:50 P.M. and should NEVER be on in the library. Students, in an emergency, may be allowed to use a phone in the Dean’s Office or with the permission and under the supervision of an adult. • first offense – 9 units of JUG and confiscation of cell phone for the day • second offense – 18 units of JUG and confiscation of cell phone until parent or guardian picks up phone • third offense – 30 units of JUG and confiscation of cell phone until parent or guardian picks up phone • fourth offense – suspension
CLASS CUTS: Any student absent from a class, study hall, consultation appointment, or assembly without proper permission is absent illegally. The penalties for class cuts are: • first offense – 15 units of JUG • second offense – suspension • third offense - suspension • fourth offense – possible withdrawal
COMPUTER USAGE: The Canisius High School Network has been established to support academic endeavors within the school by offering world-wide access to educational and career development resources, research information, and communication. Network account holders are students, faculty, staff, and administrators within Canisius High School only. The Canisius High School Network has not been established as a public access service or public forum, and therefore does not intend to create a First Amendment forum for free expression purposes. All computer, scanner, and/or internet use shall be consistent with the educational goals and objectives defined by Canisius High School. Canisius has the right to place reasonable restrictions on material accessed or posted through the system. • Canisius High School’s Acceptable Computer Usage Agreement is mandated to protect the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of the Canisius High School community. We expect users to act ethically and legally and remember that when utilizing the Canisius High School Network they represent the school’s mission and purpose. • A copy of the Acceptable Computer Usage Agreement is found on page 26 of this handbook. All students and parents are required to subscribe. 18 • Code of Computer Etiquette and Online Conduct: Users are responsible for appropriate behavior while using school computer networks. Any and all policies outlined in the Student Handbook apply. All activity deemed unacceptable, inappropriate or illegal by Canisius High School is prohibited. Information detected to be in violation of said policies will be forwarded to the Dean of Students and dealt with in accordance with policies laid forth in the Student Handbook. Such activity may include, but is not limited to, the following: 1. using other users’ passwords to access network resources 2. intentionally wasting limited resources including paper 3. harassing, insulting, or attacking others 4. damaging computers, computer systems, or networks. This includes, but is not limited to: a. modifying control panel settings, spell-checking dictionaries or other utilities b. installing, or attempting to install, software without express permission from appropriate authorities c. changing hardware configuration settings for computers or printers 5. violating copyright laws 6. intentionally downloading, displaying or sending pornographic, racist, militant, or otherwise offensive material 7. reviewing, modifying or displaying information from the files of administrative systems of Canisius High School or of other organizations 8. using obscene or profane language 9. using computer systems for commercial purposes 10. any other activity which may be deemed inappropriate at the discretion of the Canisius Administration
CONSULTATION: Although classes end earlier, the Canisius school day does not end until 3:00 P.M. A daily consultation period is available for academic support. During this time, teachers are available to meet with individual students. Students are strongly urged to avail themselves of this opportunity. Teachers may also require students to report for this academic assistance period. Failure to do so is considered a class cut and is dealt with accordingly (cf. Class Cuts). Occasionally classes are scheduled in this period to meet specific academic needs of students.
CORRIDORS: Behavior in the corridors must allow for the smooth movement of more than 800 students and teachers. Corridors are to be kept clean and orderly. Students are not to be in the corridors or at their lockers during class periods or lunch periods. Given recess, lunch, and the ample pass time between classes, students should not expect to use corridor lavatories during class or study hall.
DISCIPLINARY REVIEW BOARD and DISMISSAL PROCESS: All disciplinary matters are tracked and files are maintained in the Dean’s Office.
Dismissal Process and Disciplinary Review Board: The final decision regarding the dismissal of a student lies with the Principal. When a student’s conduct makes him liable to be dismissed from school, the Dean of Students may make a recommendation to the Principal for dismissal. If the Principal concurs with the Dean of Student’s recommendation, the student is dismissed. A student may request an appeal of his dismissal before the Disciplinary Review Board. Disciplinary appeals are granted only if unrevealed evidence is discovered following the Principal’s decision to dismiss. This appeal must take place in writing to the Dean of Students within two (2) school days. Failure to supply such written notice will result in the forfeiture of the student’s right to request an appeal. If an appeal is granted, the Principal will convene the Disciplinary Review Board.
The Principal may also convene the Disciplinary Review Board at anytime to advise him in disciplinary matters. If the Disciplinary Review Board does meet to review a student’s disciplinary situation and makes a recommendation to the Principal for dismissal, the decision is final. An appeal of the decision is not permitted. Students withdrawn for disciplinary reasons may not reapply for admission to Canisius High School. 19 DRESS CODE: Canisius dress code requires students to be dressed neatly and to avoid extremes. A tie must be worn with a dress shirt with all buttons fastened. Collar must be fastened and tie may not be loosened. Jackets, sweatshirts, and other informal outerwear may not be worn from the beginning of advisement to the time the student exits the building, this includes team/club issued jackets. Turtlenecks are not permitted. Shirts must be tucked into trousers. Pants of an informal “jean” or “work” variety (blue jeans, cutoffs, sweatpants, etc.) are not permitted. Normal dress pants are expected to be worn properly. Dress shoes and socks are to be worn at all times. Sneakers may be worn to and from school. Likewise, during the winter months, boots may be worn but not to class. Earrings are not acceptable. Facial hair, including sideburns below the ear, is not permitted. Hair is to be neat and combed while off the collar, above the eyebrows and ear. Various hairstyles are acceptable, but extremes such as tails, mohawks, shaved heads, laser cuts, and dyed hair are not.
As fashions change, questions will arise regarding appropriateness. Students and parents are strongly advised to contact the Dean of Students for clarification regarding any aspect of the dress code which may be in question. The Dean is the final arbiter of dress code issues.
Standard Dress Code: • dress shirt tucked in, buttons secured • tie properly knotted and worn • dress pants or corduroys. • dress belt • dress shoes • socks • hair neatly combed, off the collar, above the eyebrows and ear • senior hoodies for the current school year

Students may be allowed to wear a CHS polo shirt as a warm weather substitute in place of shirt and tie. Scheduled liturgies and formal assemblies always require a shirt and tie. Specific dates will be announced.
Technical compliance with the dress code is but one aspect of a student’s appearance. What he wears is no more important than how he wears it. Slovenly, sloppy, unkempt appearance is not acceptable and the student could be sent home. Dress code is in effect from the time students enter advisement until they are leaving the building for the day.
DRUGS and ALCOHOL: Alcohol and drug abuse are serious societal problems. Canisius High School believes in educating the whole person and feels obligated to educate students to the dangers related to alcohol and drug dependency. Any student involved in the sale and/or distribution, of illegal substances is liable for immediate withdrawal from Canisius High School.
Any student using or possessing alcohol, mood altering drugs, non-prescription drugs or drugs prescribed for someone other than themselves, drug paraphernalia, or manifesting their effects, at any time, is in violation of the school substance abuse 20 policy. Possession includes but is not limited to: being in personal possession, automobiles or on school property (including lockers or other storage areas.)
Consequences for first offense substance abuse and possession include: • notification of parents and authorities as deemed appropriate • out of school suspension or mandatory withdrawal • parent-administrator conference • being placed on disciplinary probation • a professional assessment by an outside agency with results reported to the school. An appointment must be made immediately and students are to be evaluated within two weeks of the incident. If treatment is indicated it must be completed with documentation of progress forwarded to the Administration. Refusal to follow this process may result in mandatory withdrawal from Canisius High School.
A school support services representative will assist parents in this process.
A second violation of the substance abuse policy makes a student liable for mandatory withdrawal from Canisius High School.
Breathalyzer: Canisius High School reserves the right to request students submit to an alcohol sensor test. Any staff member, who has reasonable suspicion, to believe a student is showing affects of alcohol or illegal drugs, may request the student to submit to an alcohol sensor test. Refusal to be tested will be treated as if the student was guilty of a school substance abuse policy violation.
The school may administer testing at ALL school events, on school property, or wherever such events may be held. The school may request a student be tested before, during, or after school. The school may choose to require all students entering an event to submit to testing. Students testing positive will be dismissed from the event in the custody of a parent, guardian or law enforcement authority. Students testing positive will face consequences as outlined in the student handbook above.
FIELD TRIPS: Students who wish to attend field trips, retreats, or any other off-campus Canisius sponsored activity must provide to the Dean of Students a permission form signed by both their teachers and parents at least three days prior to the event. Forms are available from the moderator of the activity. Students are expected to comport themselves as Canisius gentlemen off-campus. The standard dress code is in effect unless otherwise indicated.
FIRE/EVACUATION DRILLS: Fire prevention and safety are required by state law for the well being of all building occupants. Posted in each classroom are specific directions for fire exits. Students exit single file and in silence. Talking or other disruptions during fire drills will result in 30 units of JUG
FIRST AID / ILLNESS: Students taken ill or in need of first aid should report immediately to the Nurse’s Office or Dean of Students’ Office. Under no circumstances is any student to leave the building without the Dean’s permission.
GUIDANCE OFFICE: Guidance and counseling services are provided by full-time school counselors from 8:00 A.M. until 3:30 P.M. daily. These services include personal, group, academic, college and career counseling, drug and alcohol education, standardized testing, classroom guidance, and evening programs for parents and students. Every student is welcome and encouraged to meet with his counselor as needed during the school year. If an appointment is made by the student or his counselor, a pass is sent to advisement or given directly to the student.
HEALTH RECORDS: New York State requires all students to submit a complete record of immunization prior to entering school. In addition, the CHS Health Form must be submitted by all students to the Nurse’s Office by August 15th for admission in the upcoming school year. Immunization records are required of freshmen and transfer students only. 21 I.D.: Each student must carry his CHS I.D. when in the building. Students receive their first I.D. card free of charge. Lost cards may be replaced by contacting the Dean’s Office. A $10.00 fee will be charged to replace an I.D. card.
JUG: JUG is a traditional Jesuit term for handling minor breaches of conduct. IT IS TO BE LOOKED ON AS AN INCONVENIENCE AND IS TO TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER ANY OTHER NON-ACADEMIC ACTIVITY. Accordingly, no student is to participate in an extracurricular activity before he has served his JUG. Anyone who has an after school job is expected to serve his JUG before leaving school for work. JUG is served in 20 minute units at 3:00 P.M. each day, or as determined by the Dean of Students. Failure to serve JUG may result in immediate ineligibility, additional jug units, and may lead to suspension and parental conference. The Dean of Students will assign the appropriate amount of JUG. It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of the following JUG procedures: • each student is expected to be aware of his JUG status daily. The JUG list is posted daily outside the Dean’s Office. • the first day a student’s name appears on the JUG list, he MAY begin serving. The second day a student’s name appears on the JUG list, he MUST begin serving, and continue serving daily until all units have been served. • a student with a legitimate excuse for not serving JUG on a particular day MUST see the Dean at the start of his lunch period. Once he begins serving JUG, a student must do so daily unless he is excused by the Dean. • students who fail to either serve JUG or be excused receive a 6 unit penalty. • students who fail to comply with JUG policy receive SATURDAY JUG. • Saturday JUG does not earn credit. It is strictly punitive. • ffailure to serve Saturday JUG results in suspension and parent conference. • any student who receives Saturday JUG more than once faces suspension and/ or expulsion. • the Dean of Students is the final arbiter regarding the issuance of JUG
LIBRARY: Canisius High School’s Carr Library upholds the school’s philosophy and goals for academic excellence. It is devoted to creating a unique and essential learning environment equipped with a variety of resources and services to serve the information needs of the Canisius community.
The library is staffed by a library media specialist available to help students daily, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
The library is open until 4:45 p.m. daily unless otherwise announced. Library computers are available for student work during that time.

Students using the library must sign in upon entering and may be asked to present their student ID. The library is to be accessed via the marble stairs in the foyer only. Cell phone use is prohibited in the library at all times.
LOCKERS: Lockers are the property of Canisius High School assigned to students for their use. No student is to switch lockers without the Dean’s permission. Lockers are to be treated with care. Students are to report mechanical failure to the Dean’s Office immediately. Each student is responsible for the condition and contents of his locker. Posters or pictures distasteful or disrespectful to any individual or group may not be displayed in any locker. Failure to keep lockers locked could result in JUG. School issued locks must be used at all times.
LOST AND FOUND: Missing property may be found in “Lost and Found” located in the Dean of Students’ Office. Found items should be deposited there as well. An additional lost and found area is kept in the physical education area.
MAKE-UP WORK: Students are expected to make up school work missed due to absence. Arrangements are to be made with individual teachers. Students are expected to contact classmates or make electronic contact with teachers regarding homework when absent. 22 MESSAGES: Messages left for students by parents will be posted on the Dean’s Bulletin Board. Students are responsible for consulting the board daily. Only in the case of a serious emergency will a message be delivered to a student’s class.
MISCELLANEOUS CONCERNS: • Students may not use cell phones or game devices during their free periods. • Misconduct involving obscene language, fighting, etc. will be dealt with seriously. • Students are never to leave the school building without the Dean’s permission. Likewise, students are not to be present in areas of the school where they have no legitimate business. This includes the auditorium balcony, basement, attic, gym lockers, playing fields and parking lots. • Gum chewing is not allowed in the building. • Food and beverages are to be confined to the cafeteria. • Skateboards are not allowed on school property.
MORNING PRAYER AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: This period of time should be marked by reflection and attention. Silence during the prayer is mandatory. Students are expected to stand for the prayer and Pledge of Allegiance. Students are to remain quiet and attentive during announcements. Failure to hear an announcement is no excuse for confusion or later misunderstanding. No student is permitted to leave his room during advisement unless he is called over the PA or produces a Guidance pass. Announcements are to be: • sent via email to: [email protected]. • submitted no later than 8:00 A.M. • approved by the Dean of Students if submitted by a student.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONDUCT: Canisius High School is obliged to contribute to the quality of life in the neighborhood of which it is a part. Canisius students are expected to treat nearby residents and property with the utmost respect and consideration. Imprudent driving, boisterous behavior, loitering, inappropriate language, disrespect or disregard toward persons or property are entirely unacceptable. Such reprehensible conduct discredits Canisius High School, devalues the neighborhood, and offends and endangers our neighbors. Canisius students who engage in such behavior face the most severe consequences.
PARKING PERMITS AND RULES: • Because of limited space, not all applicants are granted permits. • Cars must have a valid CHS parking sticker visibly displayed on the passenger window. • Permits are valid for one school year. • Students may park in the designated student areas only. • Cars must be parked within the lined spaces designated. • Smoking, loitering and conduct unbecoming a Canisius gentleman are prohibited in the parking lot. • All information on the permit application must be correct. • Lost or stolen permits will not be replaced. • A permit fee of $40.00 must be paid. • Violations of parking regulations may result in disciplinary action, loss of permit, ticketing by Buffalo police, and/or towing at student expense. • An imprudent driver who at any time endangers his own welfare or the welfare of others will lose his permit and face severe disciplinary action. • A student who holds a valid permit but drives a different car on a particular day must obtain a temporary permit for that day from the Dean’s Office. • Parking permit applications are available from the Dean of Students and must be returned by the specified date. • Holding a parking permit does not guarantee a parking spot.
PHOTO RELEASE POLICY Canisius High School may at times exhibit student photographs, names and/or likenesses in the following publications and or media: • School publications including newspapers, Principal’s Newsletter, CHS Today magazine, photo albums etc. 23 • Yearbook including student pictures, name, class pictures, candid shots etc. • Press/media releases including newspaper articles/features, fund raising brochures, school profile, advertisements etc. • The Canisius High School website www.canisiushigh.org
Parents wishing not to give the school such permission can submit an opt-out declaration to the Principal’s Office. Photo opt-out forms are available on the school website under the “Student Life Tab/ School Documents/ “Photo Opt-Out.”
PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Students must come to gym class prepared according to the requirements of their instructors. A student unable to participate in physical education class for medical reasons must present a medical excuse to the Nurse’s Office prior to his physical education class. Students unable to participate are still expected to attend the class and spend the time as their teacher directs. A student excused from physical education class is ineligible to participate in any athletic event on the same day. Students unprepared for class are considered illegally absent and will suffer the prescribed consequences.
Seniors who participate in an approved CHS varsity sport are eligible to have their physical education grade based upon their participation in that sport. This applies to participation during the team season of participation only. Official dates for use of this privilege will be announced by the Dean’s office.
Students using the Phys. Ed waiver privilege must: • keep away from the classroom area during their scheduled PE periods • get permission to use the library and/or Guidance Center • keep away from the PE complex during their scheduled PE period
Consequences for abuse of this privilege will be addressed by the Dean of Students.
POSTERS AND ADVERTISEMENTS: Any type of advertising within the school buildings requires permission of the Dean of Students. Items “for sale” and the like, game and club announcements and such, once approved, may be posted in designated areas as determined by the Dean and/or Director of Student Activities.
PROBATION: A student may be placed on probation when a particular offense warrants it. Probation can lead to expulsion. Written conditions are specified for a student’s probation. These conditions must be met if the student is to continue his Canisius education. Probation remains in effect from the date incurred through graduation. Out of school suspension automatically invokes probation.
PROLONGED ABSENCE: Whenever a student will be absent for a prolonged period of time due to illness or injury, contact should be made with the Dean’s Office. Arrangements for academic work can be made with classmates, by emailing teachers, and through the Guidance Office. Some school districts provide home instruction under certain conditions. Information is available from the Guidance Office.
REPEAT OFFENSES: The accumulation of minor offenses, particularly of the same nature, indicates a student’s unwillingness to meet Canisius’ expectations of him. Such repetition of minor offenses or the accumulation of 50 units of JUG will lead to Saturday JUG or in-school suspension. The accumulation of 100 units could result in out-of- school suspension for and probation or possible expulsion.
REPORT CARDS: Crusader Net is a secure online information access system that gives parents the ability to view report cards, mid marking period progress and other pertinent student information. Each family is provided with an account login and password to access critical student data. A detailed user guide is posted on the school website under the “Parent” tab. Report cards are posted on Crusader Net four times a year. Mid marking period assessment reports will be available to parents for viewing on Crusader Net during scheduled viewing periods. Some teachers may choose to keep their Crusader Net account accessible at all times. Assessment review weeks will be posted 24 on the school calendar. The fourth marking period will have two separate assessment viewing weeks. Hard copies of the final report card, only, will be mailed home.
SCHOOL CLOSING: Students should check local media outlets regarding school closing for emergency reasons. Unless a specific decision is made for Canisius only, we will follow the decisions announced for all Buffalo Public and Parochial Schools. It is not necessary to await a specific reference to Canisius High School or to call the school. Letter days of the cycle remain as they are prescribed on the monthly calendar. When school resumes, it will be on the letter day already indicated on the calendar for the day on which we resume classes.
During school closings, teachers will post information on their Moodle account. This is an expectation for all of our course syllabi. Students are expected to login to their courses through Moodle and adhere to their course syllabi regarding assignments during a school closing. Students without internet access shall provide a parent note explaining the reason(s) for an absent electronic assignment.
SMOKING / TOBACCO PRODUCTS: The use of any tobacco product on CHS property or within a two block radius (including all of Cleveland Ave. and Ferry St. from Main St. to Delaware and Delaware to Elmwood) is strictly prohibited. No student should have on his person any tobacco products at any time during the school day. Violators face severe disciplinary action, including suspension.
STEALING: Stealing is unethical, illegal, and considered an extremely serious offense at Canisius, regardless of the value of the stolen item. Restitution will be demanded from guilty parties and they may face mandatory withdrawal from Canisius.
STUDY / FREE PERIODS: Students not assigned to specific study halls are expected to use their time constructively in the library, computer center, Guidance Office, etc. Students are not to be in the corridors outside classrooms. The library will be available only to students with a pass. The library is for silent study.
SUPERVISED ACTIVITIES / CLASSES: Students must always be under the supervision of an authorized school official in order to participate in any school activity. If a faculty member fails to appear for any activity or class, one student from the group should notify the Dean’s Office or Principal’s Office. All other students must remain at the location and quietly await the arrival of an adult.
SUSPENSION: Suspension provides an opportunity for all concerned to assess a student’s future at Canisius High School.
In-school suspension allows a student to remain in school under supervision, but barred from classes and extracurricular events. Missed work will be made up during the suspension.
Out-of-school suspension denies the student access to the school building and participation in school activities. The student is allowed to make up all work missed during an out of school suspension, but may only recover 50% credit for the work submitted. For example a student receiving a grade of 90% on a make-up assignment will be given 45% credit. These grades apply to his marking period average and may well jeopardize passing grades in his courses.
Both types of suspension require a reinstatement conversation with the Dean of Students, the student, and his parents. These parties may agree to include the student’s counselor and/or advisor. Out of school suspension automatically leads to disciplinary probation and possible dismissal. No student is readmitted to class until a reinstatement hearing occurs and a final decision is made. Any student suspended more than once during his four years at Canisius may be dismissed at the discretion of the Principal. Canisius reserves the right to use alternate discipline consequences in lieu of suspension.
TARDINESS: Students tardy to class should report directly to that class. If a student is late, he should report immediately to class and the classroom teacher will assign JUG 25 for repeated tardiness. Tardy passes from the Dean of Students’ Office will automatically be considered “unexcused ”tardiness and Jug will be assigned unless the Dean’s Office was responsible for the student’s tardiness. The classroom teacher will assign JUG for repeated tardiness to class.
TELEPHONES: The use of school phones is for emergency purposes only. Students should report to the Dean of Students’ office for emergency phone use. (See also Cell Phones on page 17.)
TRANSPORTATION: Each student living within a 15 mile radius of Canisius High School is entitled to transportation by his district. Applications must be completed by April 1 for the following year. Parents will receive notices and instructions.
Calendars of suburban districts may not be the same as the Canisius school calendar. Therefore there may be times when transportation from the home district is not available. Check with your home school district if you have questions.
Transportation rights may be revoked for misconduct on the bus. At no time should a student lend his Metro bus pass to another or use another’s pass. Disciplinary action will be taken.
Public school districts vary in policy regarding late transportation. Students should check with their district. Orchard Park and Clarence students must sign a late bus request in the Dean’s Office each day they are in need of late transportation. Sign up must be done before noon.
TUITION: Canisius has a Student Enrollment Contract describing the financial relationship of each student, his family, and the school.
We recognize that for many parents the cost of a Canisius High School education for their sons is a significant financial commitment. The President’s and VP of Finance’s Office will endeavor to help parents plan their payments to meet both their needs and the needs of the school.
TUITION PAYMENT AND COLLECTION POLICY foUR PAYMENT PLAN • Tuition is due on the first of July, September, November, and February.
oNE PAYMENT PLAN • Tuition payment is due by July 1, 2011. There is a maximum discount of $300.00 (3%) for early payment (calculation of tuition less any financial aid) that will be rescinded if payment is not received during July 2011.
teN PAYMENT PLAN • Tuition is due the 1st of each month July 2011 through April 2012.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY Consistent with the Student Enrollment Contract, this contract is in effect for a full year and as such; • If enrollment is cancelled between August 1st and November 30th, parent is responsible for 1st Semester tuition plus one half of the activity fee. • If enrollment is cancelled after November 30th, parent is responsible for full year tuition and 100% activity fee. Payment of tuition and fees is a contractual obligation since Canisius depends upon these payments to meet financial commitments of the school, including teacher’s salaries. Consequently, school policies include the following:
• There will be a $45.00 late fee on any balance unpaid by the specified due date. • There will be a $25.00 fee for any failed auto debit and a $20.00 fee for failed checks. 26 • Any student (and siblings) with an unpaid balance from the 2010-11 school year will not be allowed to return to school in September of 2011 unless prior arrangements have been approved by either the President or VP of finance. • Any student (and siblings) with an unpaid balance for July or August of the 2011-12 school year will not be allowed to return to school in September of 2011 unless prior arrangements have been approved by either the President or VP of Finance. • Financial Aid will not be awarded to any student with an unpaid tuition balance. • A student may not sit for examinations if tuition is overdue at the end of the marking period or if any obligations to the school are outstanding. • Final grades and transcripts will not be issued to/for any student with an outstanding tuition balance. • A diploma will not be issued to any graduating senior who has an unpaid tuition balance.
VANDALISM/PROPERTY DAMAGE: Any student responsible for the intentional or accidental damage of school property may face severe disciplinary action and will reimburse the school for damages incurred.
VISITORS: All visitors are asked to sign in at the reception desk and display a visitor’s pass while in the building.
At no time may a student bring a visitor to school without the permission of the Principal’s Office. Students should always report the presence of suspicious strangers to an adult immediately.
WEAPONS: Students possessing a weapon or device that could be used as a weapon, on their person, among personal belongings, or in their vehicle, will face dismissal from Canisius High School.
WORKING PAPERS: Students who are Buffalo residents contact the Dean of Students’ Office. Non-Buffalo residents should contact their public school district high school.
ACCEPTABLE COMPUTER USAGE AGREEMENT
Canisius High School Network Purpose
The Canisius High School Network has been established to support academic endeavors within the school by offering worldwide access to educational and career development resources, research information and communication. Network account holders are students, faculty, staff and administrators within the Canisius High School community only. The Canisius High School Network has not been established as a public access service or a public forum, and therefore does not intend to create a First Amendment forum for free expression purposes. All computer, network, and/or Internet use shall be consistent with the educational goals and objectives defined by Canisius High School. Canisius High School has the right to place reasonable restrictions on material accessed or posted through the system. You are not to use the computers for any illegal activities. USB storage devices should not be relied upon for transporting or saving critical documents or assignments as they are an unreliable method of storage. Not all of these devices work with all computers. There is no support for incompatible devices. Canisius High School’s Acceptable Computer Usage Agreement is mandated to protect the rights, privileges and responsibilities of the Canisius High School community. We expect users to act in an ethical and legal manner, and remember that when utilizing the Canisius High School Network users represent the school’s mission and purpose.
The aims of the Acceptable Use Policy are: A. To allow all users to access and use the Internet safely. B. Provide a mechanism by which all users are protected from sites, information 27 and individuals which would undermine the principles and aims of Canisius High School. C. Provide rules which are consistent with the acceptable procedures commonly used on the Internet. In the interests of clarity, the school’s IT systems include all computer hardware and software, Internet and Email access and peripheral devices such as printers and scanners. The AUP guidelines extend to personal mobile devices whilst being used within the school grounds, or during school activities, including trips. They apply to social networking sites where there is any reference to Canisius High School or its community. Any activity which could be interpreted as constituting cyber-bullying will be treated with the utmost severity. Abusive material such as indecent images, hateful texts, use of inappropriate language etc shall be considered as a form of bullying when a member of the school.
