Students who develop regular attendance patterns early in their school experience continue these successful practices as they progress through their public schooling. Compulsory attendance is required by the Pennsylvania Public School Code. The Moshannon Valley School Board has adopted an attendance policy (Board Policy #204) in accordance with the School Code and Department of Education Regulations. The Moshannon Valley School Board offered the following guidelines for elementary attendance: A. Excuses are classified as ―Excused‖, ―Unlawful‖, or Unexcused‖ according to the reason for absence. The School Laws list the following reasons as excused absences: 1. Illness, 2. Quarantine, 3. Recovery from accident, 4. Required court attendance, 5. Death in family, 6. Family educational trips, 7. Educational tours and trips. All other absences are listed as unlawful including those for which no written excuse is presented within three days. B. Once a pupil has accumulated 10 absences, doctor’s excuses will be required for each additional absence. At that point, any additional absence without a doctor’s excuse will be considered ―unlawful‖ or ―unexcused‖. C. On the first day of return to school following an absence, students will be given an excuse, which should be returned the next day. The excuse should indicate the reason for absence and dates of absence. Failure to provide a written excuse within 3 days of the absence will lead the school to assume that the absence was unexcused (illegal) and will be recorded as such in the student’s attendance record. D. Procedures for three or more unexcused (illegal) absences will be in accordance with the Pennsylvania School Code (regulations provided upon request). The principal will cooperate with the District Court to enforce any violations of the Compulsory Attendance Law. E. Attendance/Extracurricular – No student is permitted to practice or participate in an activity unless they have been present all day. Only bonafide doctor’s excuses or other urgent circumstances will be considered by the principal in waiving this policy. Special circumstances must be approved by the principal. F. A student is marked one half day absent if they arrive at school after 12:00 p.m. or are excused from school before 12:00 p.m. Arrivals and Early Dismissals Parents/guardians are required to sign-in students who arrive to school late. If you find it necessary to bring your child to school, rather than ride the bus, be reminded that students are not to arrive at the elementary school prior to 8:30 a.m.. Homeroom and Opening Exercises commence at 8:50 a.m.. Therefore, students should arrive between 8:30 – 8:50 a.m. If the student is planning to have breakfast at school they should arrive no later than 8:40 a.m.. Students may leave with a parent/guardian prior to the dismissal time (3:30 p.m.). Parents/guardians are required to meet the student in the office and sign the early dismissal register. When you are planning to pick your child up at school please send a note providing the time and reason for the early dismissal. A note is required to be sent to the office for those students who will be transported by private transportation. If this will occur EVERYDAY one NOTE may be sent for the entire school year. Otherwise, the NOTE should be sent on the morning of the scheduled dismissal, no phone calls please. Approved Educational Trips (Not School Sponsored) The Superintendent of the Moshannon Valley School District has authorized the Principal of each building to determine if tours or trips are of sufficient educational value to warrant an excused absence. The Principal will use the following criteria in making this decision. Exceptions to these criteria will require the Superintendent’s attention. A. The parent/guardian shall submit to the building a written request (Educational Trip Form) including all necessary dates, destinations, etc., that may be required. B. The student shall meet the following guidelines: School Board Approved August 20, 2012 Page 4 1. Have a good attendance record 2. Have satisfactory grades 3. Have a satisfactory citizenship record 4. Speak with his/her teachers to have a general idea of the work that will be covered during the absence C. The student must be under the supervision of an adult personage acceptable to the Principal and to the parents/guardians of the student concerned. D. School days missed shall be recorded as excused absences. The above guidelines are excerpted from the Moshannon Valley School District Administrative Regulations. Complete copies are available upon request. Family Education Trips Guidelines In accordance with School Board policy, family trips for educational purposes will be considered within the context of school purpose and school law. Parents who plan to take their children on an educational trip when school is in session may request an absence for the student(s). Such requests are dependent on these conditions: 1. No more than 5 school days or less or 10 days within 2 years will be approved, on a case by case basis, for any student. 2. It is recommended that family educational field trips not be scheduled during the first 5 or last 5 days of school. 3. An educational trip will not be granted for the same student if the student experienced the same trip during a previous school year. 4. The purpose, itinerary, and relationship to our educational purpose must be clearly explained as justification for the trip (to be noted on the request form). 5. Requests for educational field trips shall be made 5 school days prior to the student’s planned absence using the proper form available in the school principal’s office.

  • Chapter Title
    Centre County Demographics and Travel Patterns The purpose of this chapter is to describe Centre County in terms of demographics, major and minor trip generators, planning and zoning, and travel patterns. This information, when considered relative to the inventory of available transportation modes in Centre County, helps to identify specific areas that present the greatest need for transportation improvements. The large land area of Centre County (almost 1,100 square miles), and the County’s mountain ridges and valleys impact the physical layout of transportation infrastructure. Demographic indicators must also be considered within the context of these geographic attributes. Within this chapter, socioeconomic data at the census tract level from the 2010 US Census, 2009-13 American Community Survey (ACS), and the information from Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC) is presented relative to the following categories: • Population and Density • Vehicle Availability • Income and Poverty • Labor Force and Unemployment • Public Assistance and SSI Income • Educational Attainment • Distribution of Jobs • Distribution of Age 65 and Older Population and Social Security Income • Distribution of Disabled Population • Housing Figure 2, which is a map of census tracts within Centre County, is presented on the following page.

  • The Central Pennsylvania Conference (EV) 1850-1871 Compiled from the Conference Archives
    The Central Pennsylvania Conference (EV) 1850-1871 compiled from the Conference Archives I. Annual Conference Records Because of denominational unions and boundary adjustments, the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church includes congregations with roots in more than a dozen distinct predecessor conferences. In order to service its constituency, the Conference Archives seeks to acquire and maintain as complete a collection as possible of the journals of these various conferences. Congregations with roots in one of the three primary Methodist Episcopal, United Brethren or Evangelical Association conferences that served central Pennsyl- vania have access to virtually complete conference records and statistics. Even in these instances, however, conference journals can be incomplete. Early journals of all the predecessor denominations list only charge statistics. While they clearly identify the pastor assigned to each charge, they do not provide information about individual churches -- nor do they even identify which churches are on which charges. Hidden within the minutes, however, are specific reports that provide valuable primary source information at the congregational level. Missionary Reports : When conferences began printing their journals, they tried to contain expenses by producing a product that many people would be willing to purchase. Including a detailed report of missionary giving proved to be the key, for people like to see their name in print -- especially when connected with noble causes. Accordingly, many conferences listed the people at each appointment on each charge who contributed to missions -- and often listed the amounts of the individual contributions. These reports not only identify what churches were on what charges, but they also identify which families attended which churches.

  • Creation of the Nittany Valley Joint Planning Commission
    ORDINANCE #2002-46 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CREATION OF THE NITTANY VALLEY JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION The Board of Supervisors of Marion Township hereby adopts an ordinance establishing the Nittany Valley Joint Planning Commission as follows: Section 1. Creation, Membership, and Terms Marion Township hereby joins with the municipalities of Bellefonte Borough, Benner Township, Spring Township, and Walker Township to create the Nittany Valley Joint Planning Commission as per the guidelines set forth under Article XI of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Fifteenth Edition of Act 247 as amended January 2001. Each participating municipality shall appoint two members. The term of each member shall be two years. Section 2. Purpose The five municipalities of the Bellefonte Area have come to recognize that the issues associated with growth and development, such as, but not limited to, traffic congestion, air and water pollution, and loss of open space, are too large for any one municipality to deal with. They further recognize that current growth, and anticipated growth, if not properly managed will lead to the diminution of the region's quality of life. They are concerned that current zoning requirements which call for each and every municipality to provide for a full range of uses, regardless of historic development patterns, is inefficient and potentially destructive to the region's economic and social structure. To this end, the five municipalities of the Bellefonte Area hereby embark on a course of action to implement multi-municipal planning. Marion Township empowers the Nittany Valley Joint Planning Commission to undertake the development of a Multi-Municipal Comprehensive Plan that shall encompass the five municipalities of the Bellefonte Area.
