DISTRICT MISSION Educating today’s learners for tomorrow’s world. DISTRICT VISION West Fargo Public Schools prepares all learners with the knowledge and skills to be contributing citizens in a rapidly changing world. We are dedicated to continuous improvement, engaging every student to become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Excellence is achieved through practices based in research, and by aligning all resources to support learning. WELCOME Welcome to Cheney Middle School. This handbook will tell you much about what Cheney Middle School has to offer you. It will also tell you about what is expected of you as a student. We want these to be exciting and educational years for you, and we are prepared to work with you to achieve your educational goals. Our staff is one of the finest in the state. What you make of your years at Cheney Middle School is up to you. Your future is in your hands, and we want you to take this challenge seriously and actively. SOME BASIC RULES AND REGULATIONS In any setting where 1,100 + students and 150 adults have to work together, it is important that there be set rules about student behavior. If everyone follows these rules and regulations, Cheney Middle School will be a very pleasant and welcome place for all. 1. You are to be in school every day school is in session. Excused absences are granted for illness, death in the family, and emergencies as excused by the school. Please don't ask to be excused to go shopping, get a haircut, visit your cousin, etc. 2. You must be out of the school by 3:55 P.M. if not supervised. 3. You must report to all classes to which you are assigned. Cutting a class may result in a truancy charge. Your parents and perhaps the authorities will be contacted. Attendance is taken in each class and absentees reported. If you are caught skipping classes, you will be asked to stay after school and make up the time and work missed and possibly lose school privileges. 4. You are expected to report to class on time. If you are tardy, you will be given a consequence by the teacher. Remember that tardiness does disturb the other students who have managed to get to class on time. 5. When you are out of a class, you must have a pass. Insist on it, it is required. 6. Students are not allowed in the building before 8:25 A.M. unless they check into the office with the required pass. 7. Students are not permitted to smoke in school, on school grounds, or at school functions, nor are they allowed to have tobacco in possession. Suspension from school will result if you are seen smoking (including e-cigs) or have tobacco in possession on school grounds or at a school function. 8. Students are not permitted to leave the school grounds at any time after arriving (this includes bus students before school) without a permit from the office. 9. Behavior on school buses shall be of acceptable quality. 10. Possession of explosives (ex. firecrackers), matches, squirt guns, lighters, water balloons, and spray cans of any kind are prohibited in the middle school. 11. Students are expected to follow just and reasonable requests made by a teacher. This includes seating arrangements, talking, homework assignments, etc. The teacher is the authority in the classroom. The final decision as to the rules of class behavior rest with the teacher. 12. The use and possession of laser pointing devices are prohibited in the middle school building. 8 13. Vandalism (damaging or destroying property) to the school or another person’s property is strictly forbidden. “ACCEPTABLE USE CONTRACT” FOR COMPUTER ACCESS Middle and high school students, along with their parents/guardians, are required to read, sign, and return the “Acceptable Use Contract” before their child will be granted access to school computers. The contracts delineate the expectations and the consequences for inappropriate use of the computers. Please be aware that serious breach of the contract could ultimately result in total loss of computer access at the school, which may impact course participation and loss of course credit. For further details, please visit the school district website at www.west-fargo.k12.nd.us, click on “district schools,” click on either the “middle school” or “high school,” scroll and click on “Computer Policy.” If you have questions, please contact your building principal.
