However, unlike other societal institutions, we have as our primary concern the development of our students' intellectual abilities. While the school's curriculum will focus on all aspects of human development necessary for mature adult living, a Haverford diploma will be meaningful and especially symbolic of academic proficiency, knowledge of the rights and duties of citizenship, and the ability to succeed in either higher education or productive employment. Our mission is to insure that all of our graduates achieve their full potential as persons competent to participate and goal interact intelligently in the complex and dynamic society of the 21st century To achieve this we will require all students to master liberal and fine arts, in the natural and social sciences and in mathematics and-technology. Because the next generation will live in a global village, the national, international, and interdisciplinary dimensions of these studies will be emphasized as will those communication skills necessary to live and work effectively with others. All students must demonstrate the ability to read critically, write clearly and speak fluently; and to insure the success of this goal, all courses will require students to use the English language proficiently. A demanding core curriculum requires hard work on the part of the students, but we believe they will achieve as much as we expect of them. To set our expectations lower would be to do our students and our public a disservice. Because both students and the high school must be held accountable for what they do, assessment measures will be used on a regular basis to verify that our high expectations are being met. A strong faculty is critical to the accomplishment of our purpose; therefore, Haverford is committed to recruit, employ/ and nurture only the most qualified and talented professionals for teaching positions. First and foremost/ our teachers must be enthusiastic about working with and educating adolescents and be experts in the fields they teach. They should know the various pedagogical strategies that produce effective instruction. As professional educators, they must work to continually renew themselves as persons/ teachers, and scholars. Moreover, because complacency leads to mediocrity, the faculty will be encouraged to challenge the status quo; innovation and risk-taking will be supported and doing things in demonstrably better-ways will be rewarded. Realizing also that the school will not be successful without the support of the family and the community, Haverford's mission will be disseminated broadly, and our parents and citizens will be encouraged to participate actively in the education of our youth. Indeed we believe that a home environment supportive of educational excellence is essential to- the realization of our mission, as is the continued philosophical and financial support of the community. The support of parents and community must be matched by a commitment by our students to enhancing the public welfare. Therefore -we will require that all students engage in some specific and meaningful service activities in which they can develop and demonstrate their concern for the common good Such activities will promote the full maturity of students as persons who possess both rights- and duties Finally, the high school must insure that each student is accorded the recognition and respect due all persons of intrinsic worth. Each must be known and cared for as an individual, and the rules and procedures governing the school must be just and administered equitably. We expect teachers, administrators and all who work with our students to serve as role models and as such to exhibit behavior consistent with the ideals of our democratic society. The Board of School Directors will assure that Haverford High School is a learning com- munity in which faculty and students exhibit mutual respect that is sustained by a supportive community. In their pursuit of truth and excellent, students and faculty will demonstrate pride in their work and a love of learning. These beliefs shall be our guiding principles. Code of Conduct and Sportsmanship All students shall be guided by the highest standards of integrity and honesty in the classroom, on the practice field, and in competition. 1. Students shall avoid any act tending to promote their own interests at the expense of the dignity of their school. 2. Students shall avoid any act tending to promote their own interests at the expense of the dignity of a fellow student. 3. Students shall not compete unfairly on the practice field, in competition, or in the classroom. 4. Students shall not attempt to malign, directly or indirectly, another student, coach or instructor. 5. Students shall give credit to their fellow players, coaches and sponsors when such credit is deserved. Students, including athletes, shall dedicate their primary efforts to the goals and interests of their school, sport, activity, teammates and the public. 1. Students shall hold paramount the safety of teammates as well as their opponents. 2. Students shall abide by the rules and regulations of their coaches and sponsors, as well as P.I.A.A., Central Athletic League and Haverford High School. 3. Students athletes shall dedicate their efforts to academic progress for their own benefits as well as their team. 4. Students shall not permit the use of their names in advertising ventures with any person or firm where such act is a violation of the school or a governing association's rules and regulations. 5. In public statements or in interviews with the press, students and student athletes shall make statements in a truthful and factual way. 6. Students and student athletes shall not be influenced in their competition by conflicting personal or financial interests. Physical Examinations for Student Athletes Haverford Township School District Policy Purpose:The School District of Haverford Township seeks to provide all students who desire to participate in athletic events the safest possible condition for participation. Every child seeking to participate in athletics will therefore be required to submit the results of a physical examination on the approved Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's Parent Certificate and the Haverford Township School District Physician's Certificate. The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association permits that a comprehensive pre-participation physical evaluation be certified on a cycle beginning June 1 and ending May 31 of each school year. If the student has an annual physical on file, parents must submit Section 7 of the physical form each season of play. If an injury has occurred during the season of play the student will be required to provide a Physician’s note granting the student permission to be reinstated back into participation. A student must have a physical examination on file with the school district prior to any participation in an athletic contest or practice session. Guidelines Such physical examination shall be at the expense of the student(s) or his/her parent(s) or guardian(s). If documentation exists (such as eligibility for reduced or free lunch) that indicates that the required physicals are a financial hardship, the School District will review and assist in payment for medical evaluations required for participation. The parents/guardians of students who seek to participate in athletics shall be required to complete an information

We went through a 3-week pause and now are ready to get moving again. The Central Athletic League agreed that each school district will make its own decision regarding allowing spectators.

  • Adolescent Sleep and School Start Times: a Status Report and Information Brief for the LMSD Community
    Adolescent Sleep and School Start Times: A Status Report and Information Brief for the LMSD Community Prepared by Kristina Ayers Paul, Ph.D. Special Assistant for Program Evaluation On behalf of the Adolescent Sleep and School Start Time Committee Introduction Over the past several years, much attention has focused on delaying the start of the school day as a way to address chronic sleep loss in adolescents. The biological changes that youth undergo with the onset of puberty lead to a shift in circadian rhythms, pushing the onset of sleepiness later into the evening than either children or adults – about 11pm. Given the recommendations for adolescents to sleep 8-10 hours per night, a bedtime of 11pm should ideally be coupled with a wakeup time of no earlier than 7:00-7:30 am., depending on the length of time it takes to fall asleep with a bedtime of 11pm. These biological patterns are in conflict with early school start times, leading several organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Medical Association (AMA), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevent (CDC), to recommend that middle and high school start times begin no earlier than 8:30am. The Lower Merion School District is examining the feasibility of shifting school start times to align with these recommendations. Past Efforts Interschool Council’s Sleep and School Start Time Committee A committee of parents from the Interschool Council (ISC) conducted a study and prepared a report on sleep and school start time issues specifically within the context of the Lower Merion School District.
