2 A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

Each new school year brings anticipation, excitement, and, for some, anxiety of what the new school year may bring. As we begin the 2016 – 2017 school year, I believe that the students of Glover School are ready for new challenges and achievements. Faculty and staff members have been busy preparing classrooms and planning instruction for the new year. Together we will strive toward excellence in academics and extra-curricular activities while preparing our students for the future. We are committed to unfolding the potential of every child and we value your partnership in this mission. It is my privilege and honor to work with a faculty, students, parents, and community that believe in quality education. I would like to thank you for your support of our students, faculty, and administration. We look forward to your involvement in educating the students of Glover School. Together we can make a difference.

Sincerely, Tanya Stuart

This handbook is not intended to cover every situation that may occur. It is intended to provide a general understanding of the rules and a guide for student, staff, and parents. Due to extenuating circumstances, the Glover Administration reserves the right to take situations on an individual basis.

3 SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Mission Statement and Exit Outcomes:

The Mission of Glover School District is to establish, maintain, and continually improve the educational opportunities of its students, and to provide students with the necessary resources to have success.

Where We Are:

Academically – Glover School has consistently scored high on the state tests when compared to national, state, and local norms. Students are expected to maintain high academic standards, which correlate to the Oklahoma Academic Standards.

Student Discipline – The Board of Education has adopted a discipline management plan that allows for options, which take into account students needs and differences while maintaining an atmosphere conducive to order.

Personnel – Staff members have received all required training. All teachers are certified in the areas they teach as required. All classes are within the required teacher- pupil ratio, and all teachers are being given the appropriate salary raises. The elementary superintendent has the proper certification from the state, as have all other staff. All Board members are provided with opportunities to receive the required training.

Where We Want To Be:

Academically – We would like to see a (NCE) gain in every-grade and subject level each year through. Students in grade Pre-K - eighth will be given opportunities for computer- assisted learning for proficiency. All students will have access to computers and computer technology. Students will receive weekly computer lab time, where reading and math will be emphasized. All Staff will implement the Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS), insuring that students are progressing at an appropriate pace and mastery level. The library media center will continue to encourage reading by participating in the Sequoyah Reading Program. 4 All appropriate standards and all requirements will be in place at the appropriate time.

Personnel – We will continue to insure that all staff is certified in the appropriate area. Staff development will insure that employees will be continually updated on the latest developments. Student Discipline – The staff will take into account student needs and differences while maintaining a safe and orderly atmosphere.

How Do We Get There?

- Expand Staff Development to include appropriate areas of need.

- Upgrade computer system with hardware and software as needed.

- Add instructional materials as needed.

- Parent involvement in school will continue to be encouraged.

- We will continue to evaluate and adjust our curriculum to meet the needs of our students.

Monitor/Assessment Process:

Each curriculum area will be assessed and monitored annually. In- depth reviews in one core curriculum area will be conducted. Grading policies and student behavior will be reviewed annually to assess effectiveness. Test scores will be monitored yearly to ensure mastery of objectives.

IMMUNIZATIONS

Oklahoma State Law prohibits any public school from enrolling a minor child unless such child can present proof that such child has received or is in the process of receiving immunizations against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, measles, (rubella), poliomyelitis, Hep A, Hep B, and Varicella.

5 HEAD LICE

It is not uncommon for public schools to experience problems with head lice. It is no disgrace to be exposed or catch them. In order to protect students and prohibit the spread of head lice, Glover School has adopted a very strict policy.

All students will be checked on a regular basis by personnel approved by the School Board. These people are licensed nurses and are volunteers without pay. Students found to have lice or nits will be sent home and NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN UNTIL CLEARED BY THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL.

ADMINISTERING MEDICATION TO STUDENTS

No medication of any type will be administered to students at school until a “Parental Authorization to Administer Medicine” form has been completed and returned to school. During the school year students sometimes become ill and will need to take medicine. If your child is to take medication during the school day, please let their teacher, or the office staff know by calling and sending a note.

School personnel will administer all medications. All medications will be stored in the office in a secured cabinet.

*If your child requires an inhaler or medications that must be administered quickly please inform school administration. Students on inhalers may be allowed to keep this type of medication in their possession.

PUPIL PERSONNEL

STUDENT ATTENDANCE

The Board of Education believes that in order for students to realize their fullest potential from educational efforts, they should attend all classes possible. Realizing that some absences may be beyond a student’s control, the board has adopted a policy requiring students to be in attendance a minimum of 90% each semester to receive credit for any course in which the student is enrolled. Exception to this requirement will be considered by the board on an individual, case by case basis. Any student failing to attend 90% of the time will be required to obtain the proper forms and applications from the school’s superintendent no later than 5 working days after the end of the semester. The superintendent will present the

6 application to the board of education at the next school board meeting. The Board of Educations decision will be final. The Board of Education will only consider an absence for the following reasons: Illness or death, tragedy, other extraordinary events, which were out of the control of the student. The Board of Education wishes to inform the parents and students of the fact that average daily attendance is a factor used in comprising school financial assistance. NO SINGLE FACTOR DOES MORE TO AID A STUDENT’S SUCCESSFUL PROGRESS IN SCHOOL THAN REGULAR ATTENDANCE. Students are responsible for requesting make-up assignments when they return to school. A student shall have one (1) school day for each day absent to make up the work missed, unless granted additional time by the teacher or principal. For unexcused tardies students shall be sent to the principal’s office. Unexcused tardies or absences may result in disciplinary action. Teachers shall keep up with and report all student absences and tardies daily. three (3) tardies shall constitute one (1) absence. In order to receive perfect attendance a student must be present every day school is in session and must not miss more than ½ of a day for the school year. Keep in mind three (3) tardies will be counted as an absence. Students may not miss any portion of any school day in order to receive a recognition plaque for perfect attendance. Students who miss a portion of a day will receive a certificate of recognition. Students must be in attendance at school for at least ½ of the school day in order to participate in any extra-curricular activities unless approved by the superintendent.

*Students may not drive to school unless they have a valid D.L.

LEAVING THE SCHOOL GROUNDS

No student shall be permitted to leave the school grounds without permission of the superintendent. If it is necessary to pick up your child during the school day, please come to the office to sign your child out of school.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Birth Certificates and shot records shall be required of all students entering Glover School for the first time. This certificate must be presented before the child can attend school. A child must be 5 years old on or before September 1st to be eligible for Kindergarten and 6 years old on or before September 1st to be eligible for First Grade. Students must turn 4 years old on or before

7 September 1st to be eligible for Pre-K and 3 years old on or before September 1st to be eligible for our three year old program.

VISITORS

All visitors to Glover Schools must check in with the Superintendent’s Office. Student visitors are not allowed at school unless they have specific school business, are accompanied by a parent or guardian, and have checked in with the Superintendent’s Office. We ask your cooperation in order to prevent disruption of regular classroom schedules.

STUDENT RETENTION

In accordance with the policy of the Board of Education, the following criteria for the selection of students to be retained in their current grade will be used in this school district. Students shall be promoted or receive credit for a course of study if a grade average of 60% has been achieved for an entire course of study as determined by the teacher. Students in grades one through eight must achieve a grade average of 60% or higher in at least three major courses of study to be promoted to the next grade. The major courses of study are Math, Language Arts, Science, Reading, and Social Studies. If a student is recommended for retention in the present grade level by the student’s teacher, such student may not be promoted unless the student’s parent signs a written request for promotion. Glover School will inform the parent or guardian at least one working week before the final day of school of their intention to retain the student. The parents or guardians must notify the superintendent of schools by the last of school of their intentions. A copy of such request will be included in the permanent record of the student. Students in Special Education are excluded from this policy and will be advanced or retained in accordance with their Individual Educational Placement team.

HONOR STUDENT POLICY

When determining our 8th grade Honor Students (Valedictorian, Salutatorian, Historian), both semester grades from the 6th and 7th grade years plus the first semester grades of the 8th grade year in each subject are compiled and a grade point average is figured. Students earn 4.00 points for each A, 3.00 points for each B, 2.00 points for each C, 1.00 point for each D, and 0.00 points for each F 8 that is on their transcript during their 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years. From this the Honor Students are selected in the order of the highest GPA. In order to be considered as an Honor Student, students must have at least a 3.00 GPA, or “B” average for the five semesters mentioned. Students must maintain a 3.50 GPA or better to be considered as a Valedictorian. Students must maintain a 3.20 or better to be considered as a Salutatorian.
