We know all of our families have endured a lot during the last several months as we have worked to collectively navigate through these unprecedented challenges brought on by COVID-19. At the time of this writing, we are still unclear on what the 2020-2021 school year will look like, but we are looking forward to building upon our growth and success in Waukegan Public Schools, and continuing our pursuit of Equity, Access and Excellence for all students. The Parent/Student Handbook on Rights and Responsibilities contains Board-approved discipline policies, practices and procedures, as well as general District information. It has been crafted in the vision of many community stakeholders. It is my hope that through reading and discussing this document, you will become familiar with student expectations, and have a greater awareness regarding your rights and how to support and contribute to a positive climate within the school community. This document also contains important information parents and students need to know about the District’s behavior expectations and consequences for violating school and District rules and policies. In recent years, our District has made a concerted effort to incorporate social-emotional learning standards throughout the school day in order to develop the problem-solving skills of our students to better equip them in handling difficult situations and to be more reflective. This is part of our ongoing efforts to develop and instill positive citizenship amongst all students. If, at any time, you believe that your or your child’s due process rights have been violated, please bring this matter to the attention of the building principal, central office supervisor, the Superintendent, and ultimately, you may appeal your complaint to the Board of Education through the Superintendent. Please note that this office expects staff to make every attempt to resolve or address conditions brought to their attention before allowing such issues to escalate to the levels of the Superintendent or the Board. Students and parents are expected to read, discuss, and sign the Student/Parent notices and agreements found within this booklet, and return each to their principal’s office or other individual identified in the notice within one week after receipt. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read through the Parent/Student Handbook on Rights and Responsibilities If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or at 224-303- 1009.
