1 SCHOOL HISTORY AND PROFILE
Founded in 1921 and sponsored by the Pallottine Missionary Sisters, St. Vincent Pal- lotti High School was the first coeducational Catholic, college preparatory, secondary school in the Washington area. Pallotti pursues its mission of promoting academic excellence and building Christian character in a small community atmosphere of ap- proximately 400 students.
The School is fully accredited by the State of Maryland, the Middle States Associa- tion of Colleges and Schools, and the Association of Independent Maryland Schools (AIMS).
ST. VINCENT PALLOTTI & THE PALLOTTINE MISSIONARY SISTERS
Our school’s patron, St. Vincent Pallotti, was a Catholic priest who lived in Rome from 1795-1850. Despite being small in stature and often in ill health, St. Vincent ac- complished an incredible amount in his lifetime. He founded a night school for work- ers and their families, ran a youth group for young men in a rough neighborhood in Rome, worked as a chaplain in the military hospital and the local prison, was a be- loved seminary professor, founded an orphanage, started the first known food stamp program, and worked in numerous other ministries. He is considered the pio- neer of lay ministry because he dedicated himself to involving people from all walks of life in the ministry of the Church.
St. Vincent founded the Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate (SAC) in 1835 to run an or- phanage for girls who lost their parents in a cholera epidemic. Later, a group of the sisters formed a new congregation, the Missionary Sisters of the Catholic Aposto- late, to carry their work of charity and evangelization throughout the world. These “Pallottine” Missionary Sisters came to America in 1912. Among many other minis- tries, the sisters acquired the Catholic high school in Laurel, Maryland, then known as St. Mildred’s Academy, and have administered the school ever since. The sisters later renamed the school after their patron, St. Vincent Pallotti.

With the ongoing Covid-19 global pandemic, this school year presents a set of circumstances that are un- precedented in modern memory. Given that there is no way to fully anticipate what this year will hold or what will be possible before the end of the school year, all of the information, policies, and procedures normally included in the school handbook have been printed here again this year. However, many of these normal items require modification for the indefinite future. Throughout this handbook, adjust- ments to the normal policies and procedures are printed in red. Inevitably, additional modifications will be needed beyond those included at the time of this printing. Any further changes to school policies will be announced to parents and students via email, and updates to this handbook will be posted on the school website. Pallotti will begin the year following a hybrid schedule:
Students will be phased into hybrid learning by grade level over the course of the first quarter. Students wishing to attend school in person will be designated to come to school on either Blue Days or White Days. Some students, especially those enrolled in the Learning Center and Arts Academy programs, may be given the option to attend on both Blue and White Days. All students will retain the option to study online for the duration of the school year. Within the school building, Pallotti will follow guidelines published by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and other health bodies with regard to social distancing, masks, and other measures to mitigate the risk of Covid-19 transmission. The full list of health and safety measures has been communicated to parents and students via email and will be updated as necessary throughout the year. Any student who does not comply with the health and safety rules (e.g. proper mask wearing, social distancing, etc.) will not be permitted to continue with in-person learning and will be required to attend classes online. In the event of a student who tests positive for covid-19, Pallotti will follow CDC guidelines for contact tracing, testing, and quarantining. If health conditions within the school or in the broader community re- quire the school to temporarily close its doors to students, instruction will continue online without inter- ruption.

17 PANTHER CODE OF CONDUCT
BEING A PALLOTTI PANTHER
As a Catholic school, which holds Jesus Christ as the ideal for human behavior, St. Vincent Pallotti High School sets before its students as their code of conduct the teachings of Jesus contained in the Gospel. Realizing that all students are called to live as Jesus did, the Pallotti approach to student discipline strives to teach students Christian values. Thus, it is expected that students will also show respect for self and others, charity, honesty, and responsibility.
St. Vincent Pallotti students are taught that all behavior has consequences, both positive and negative, and that they must accept responsibility for their behavior. The disciplinary policies of St. Vincent Pallotti High School are directed at promoting self-discipline in students and are aimed at creating a well- ordered, safe, Christian learning environment. Any listing of infractions is not intended to be all-inclusive. School officials will review violations in light of the individual and of the entire school community. 1 8 CONDUCT EXPECTATIONS Expectations Classrooms Hallways/Common Areas Athletic Venues & Outside of School Be Respectful Be friendly and courteous to your teachers and Join the rest of the school in stopping where you Use appropriate language classmates are in the hallway for the morning prayer and Represent Pallotti in a positive, dignified manner Be attentive (do not put your head down or sleep; pledge. in both speech and conduct face forward in your seat and pay attention) Use appropriate language and “inside” voices At school events, be attentive and positive; ap- Remain in your seat unless given permission to Respect others’ personal space and belongings plaud/cheer appropriately get up When in the hallway during a class period, do not Demonstrate good sportsmanship and Pallotti Disagreements with a teacher’s policies or actions disrupt or distract ongoing classes Pride in both victory and defeat should be addressed privately and at an appropri- Listen respectfully and don’t be argumentative if Be friendly, courteous, and helpful to school visi- ate time you are addressed or corrected by a teacher tors Raise your hand and wait for permission before During lunch, remain in the designated lunch ar- Outside of school, speak about Pallotti positively talking (do not engage in side conversations) eas unless you have a signed pass to see a Stay quiet during announcements so others can teacher hear Clean up anything you spill Listen respectfully and don’t be argumentative if you are addressed or corrected by a teacher Be Responsible Come prepared for class (bring your book, school If you are in the hallways during a class period, At school events, sit in designated areas and fol- work, and any other class materials) have a signed pass book or note low adult directions politely.
