POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
The nature of Shrine Catholic High School requires an atmosphere of good order be maintained for effective learning to take place. The following guidelines have been designed to obtain maximum effectiveness through cooperation between School Administration, Faculty, Parents, and the Student Body.
ADMISSIONS Shrine Catholic High School admits students of any race, national and ethnic origin to all programs and activities generally offered students at school. It does not discriminate based on race, national or ethnic origin or in sex in the administration of its educational policies, admissions, and scholarship programs, as required by the terms of Title IX of the Education Act of 1972. The school shall provide integrated and quality education for all students. School Administration reserves the right to limit the capacity of class size. Once a quota is reached, students are placed on a waiting list Acceptance of the concept of a Catholic education is the main criteria for admissions. All students must take and participate in Theology classes, attend Liturgies, retreats, prayer services, etc., and complete required service hours. Parents/guardians must support the operating beliefs of Shrine High School and understand their obligations regarding:
• Spiritual development
• Sound moral values
• Commitment to the educational process
• Financial duty In a school setting it is vital for students, parents/guardians to be aware of and cooperate with established policies/guidelines. This also calls for students to live within the general spirit of policies/guidelines.
School Administration reserves the right to rescind enrollment if a student displays a habitual pattern of disregard for policies/guidelines, a negative, uncooperative, or disrespectful attitude, and fails to comply with expectations. Additionally, the Principal/Pastor, acting in the best interest of the school, reserves the right to waive and/or deviate from disciplinary policies/procedures/practices.
ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS TEXTBOOKS/MATERIALS Students are expected to have textbooks and materials by the first full day of class. GPA: Students must maintain an overall “C” (2.0) quarterly average for all subjects for each quarter of enrollment at Shrine High School. Should a student fall below the above stated average, the student will be placed on Academic Probation for the following quarter. The administration reserves the right to warn or place a student on Academic Probation, especially in circumstance where a student fails a class in a given quarter. ACADEMIC PROBATION: Terms: 1. A student must maintain a “C” (2.0)
grade point average during the Probationary quarter.
2. A student must not receive any failing grades during the Probationary quarter.
3. Any deficiency in the above stated criteria may result in a request to withdraw at the end of the quarter during which the deficiency occurs.
4. A student must complete a weekly eligibility form during the probationary period.
5. After 2 consecutive quarters of below a 2.0 GPA, a parent conference is mandatory.

COURSE LOAD Drop & Adds Since course selections should be made only after careful consultation with parents, teachers, and counselors, we do not anticipate changes when students return in the fall. After completion of the course selection process with the counselor in the spring and considering teacher recommendations, classes are planned, and teachers are assigned to accommodate these requests. Schedule changes have a serious effect on class size, teacher assignments and the overall master schedule. All students are strongly encouraged to remain with the schedule they plan for themselves during the spring scheduling period. All students will attend their current classes until permission for a new schedule is granted. Schedule Change Guidelines: At the start of the school year, at the beginning of the second semester and after the end of the school year there will be a two-week time frame for all schedule changes to be made. After the two-week time frame expires, schedule changes will not be allowed.
Please note: Due to this two-week time frame, students may be required to decide about whether or not to stay in a class without having a grade in that class. Their decision must be made based on careful review of the syllabus and understanding of the pace and rigor of a course. Students must consult with their teacher to gain this understanding. This policy is put in place to ensure that students who do change classes are able to catch up in a new class after missing a significant amount of time. Any longer time frame would result in a situation where it may not be possible to make up work missed from the beginning of a course.
Seniors who elect to change their schedule after a transcript has been sent to a college or university will be required to submit in writing an
explanation to each university giving the rationale for the course change. Parents will be charged a $40 fee for any student/parent-initiated schedule changes that occur within the drop/add time frame. No charge will be assessed when a schedule change is Teacher/Administrator initiated. Teachers/Administrators may initiate changes to a student schedule for reasons including, but not limited to:
• Academic placement
• A course does not fit into the student’s schedule requiring that the student select an alternative course
• Insufficient enrollment to offer a course requiring the student to select an alternative course
Parents/Students may initiate a schedule change within the two-week time frame to request a change in a course(s) only after careful reflection about student’s goals and in consultation with the teacher and the counselor. Students must discuss any schedule changes with their teachers. Schedule Changes will not be made to satisfy a student’s convenience for reasons including, but not limited to:
• Teacher preference
• Class period/time of day preference
• The desire for a schedule without a first or last period class
• Student lunch period preference Schedule Change Process: Prior to the start of classes during the pre-announced timeframe 1. Consult with the counselor 2. Complete and Obtain Necessary Paperwork 3. Obtain the signature of parents/guardians and counselor 4. Sign the form and return it to the counseling office.
5
Schedule Change Process: Within the first two weeks of a semester, after classes have already started. 1. Consult with the teacher of the course and receive their approval for the change. 2. Consult with the counselor 3. Complete and obtain necessary paperwork 4. Obtain the signature of parents/guardians, teacher(s) and counselor 5. Sign the form and return it to the counseling office MAKEUP TESTING Students who are absent when a test is given in class, must make up that test during the Before or After School Testing time. Makeup testing is supervised by an adult. Students may not make up tests during their Prep Time or other classes.
There is never make-up testing on Fridays or the day before a day off. There may be other cancelled test days on announcements.
Make up testing takes place during the following times and on announced days:
• Before School 7:00-7:45am in Room 300
• After School 3:15-4:00pm in the Library and/or in Room 300
Students must be on time for makeup testing. Students who arrive late will not be given additional time to complete their tests.
EXAMS Students are not permitted to take Mid-term and Final Exams early, that is, prior to the scheduled exam time/day. If a student is not able to be present for scheduled exams, the Counseling Department is to be contacted to make appropriate arrangements for the student to take the missed exam(s) after the scheduled exam time/day.
GRADUATION/PROMOTION, END OF YEAR ACTIVITIES To ensure a student’s participation in graduation/promotion to the next grade level, the following must be completed:
• Financial obligations must be met, no later than May 1st of the current year.
• Class requirements must be met
• Service/Ministry hour requirements must be met by the end of 3rd quarter
• Textbooks/school materials returned in good order or assessment fee paid
ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT Academic misconduct is not acceptable at Shrine Catholic High School. Part of a Catholic education is the formation of a student’s character and integrity. The faculty and staff at Shrine Catholic High School take this responsibility very seriously and will not tolerate cheating in the regular classroom setting or in distance learning. Definitions/Examples: Cheating – Giving, using, or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, notes, study aids, or other devices in any academic exercise including unauthorized communication of information.
Fabrication and Falsification – any unauthorized alteration or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise.
Plagiarism – Knowingly presenting the work of another as one’s own (i.e., without proper acknowledgement of the source). This includes the misuse of information obtained from printed materials, Internet sources or other student’s work. The sole exception to the acknowledging of sources is when the ideas or information are common knowledge.
Facilitating Academic Misconduct – Giving or attempting to help another commit any act of academic misconduct. Tampering with Materials, Grades or Records – Interfering with, altering, or attempting to alter records, grades, or other documents without authorization from a teacher for the purpose of changing, falsifying, or removing the
6
original information found in such records.
Examples of Unacceptable Behaviors in an Academic Atmosphere follow. (The list is not limited to the examples):
• Electronic cheating of any type
• Any talking during a test or a quiz
• Use of un-approved study guides during a test or a quiz
• Wandering eyes
• Passing along information, in any form, to other classes regarding tests, quizzes or assignments
• Plagiarism
• Copying of any assignments
• Creation and distribution of “cheat sheets”
Consequences for such violations may include, but are not limited to, any or all the following:
• Zero credit for test, quiz, or assignment
• Academic/Behavioral Probation
• Loss of academic credit for the marking period
• Removal from the National Honor Society
• Ineligibility for selection and admittance to the National Honor Society
• Removal from elected or appointed position of leadership
This policy is modeled after the principles established at the University of Kansas. “Academic Misconduct. From: The University of Kansas Student Handbook.” Rules and Regulations of the University Senate. 4 June ’03. http://www.writing.ku.edu/instructors/docs/ku_handbook.html. Shrine Catholic High School – Copyright
The consequences listed above will be administered to students actively engaging in dishonest behavior, as well as, to complicit students (those supplying completed homework to another with the intent to copy). Incidents of academic misconduct will be recorded and reviewed regularly.
ATTENDANCE
We will not be allowing actively sick children to be at school. Please keep your child at home if he/she is actively sick. This would include runny nose, congestion, mild cough, low grade fever or any intestinal or stomach issues. If children are sick at school, parents will be notified and asked to come and pick them up promptly. Please be respectful of others; the school will make every effort to keep our students and staff protected from illness. Students are expected to attend every class in its entirety. The school parking lot and cars parked in the lot are considered Off-Campus during the school day. Parent or guardian must call the school office (248) 549-2925 Ex. 2360 to report a student tardy, absent, or dismissed for any period of the day. Parents who anticipate an absence or early dismissal must notify the school office by phone or email the attendance office at [email protected]. Absences from school, even legitimate absences, affect classroom success. Vacations, “skip days”, “take your child to work days”, etc., are examples of days away from school and considered as absences. In cases of extended illness, hospitalization, or family emergencies, exceptions may be granted after verification from physicians, therapists, and parents and in consultation with the Principal/counselor.
PRE-APPROVED ABSENCES: Shrine can be flexible with absences for certain circumstances like club competitions, non-shrine sports related absences, leadership workshops and other opportunities. Students must get pre-approval from the Dean of Students before the absence for it to be considered “non-chargeable”. Students must also get pre-approval from the Dean of Students for any college visits. Students will need to bring back proof of
7
the college visit to have the absence considered “non-chargeable.” The Administration reserves the right to have absences counted if attendance habits dictate. The student must be responsible to contact his or her teachers ahead of time to make-up missed work and discuss a plan to remain on schedule should an absence, tardy, or early dismissal be planned ahead of time. Such aforementioned absences do affect student performance and should be kept to a minimum.
Parents may monitor classroom tardies and absences on the online student grading system at any time. The following list determines the consequences for absences to a single class in a semester:
• 5 “counted” Absences in one class (in a semester) Parents will receive an email from teacher. Dean of Students meets with student.
• 8 “counted” Absences in one class (in a semester) = Parents are asked to come in for a meeting with the Principal and/or Dean of Students. An attendance contract will be signed which states if a student reaches 10 “counted” absences they will be ineligible to participate in Shrine extracurricular activities (e.g. sports, musical, dances etc.) for the remainder of the semester.
• 10 “counted” Absences in one class (in a semester) = Attendance contract is enforced.
“Counted” vs. “Not Counted (Non-chargeable)” Absences: All absences are counted except in the following cases:
• The day that the student returns to school they bring the Dean of Students and/or Attendance office a doctor’s note stating that the absence(s) were medically necessary.
• The student was attending the funeral of a family member.
• The student was attending a school sponsored event (e.g. Kairos, Goliard Field Trip)
The school day begins at 7:52am. It is the shared responsibility of the student and parent/guardian to ensure promptness. Parents may produce written and signed doctor's, dentist's note, etc., which will result in an excused tardy, whether in the morning or the following morning for an afternoon dismissal. Although parents are encouraged to call the school with a reason for a student’s tardiness, students are still considered tardy. Students must report to the main office to receive a tardy slip for entering a classroom late.
After a minimum of 20 minutes of missed class time, a student will be considered absent for that class. The following list determines the consequences for tardies to FIRST HOUR in a semester.
• The first 3 tardies are considered “free”. There is no consequence for these tardies to account for unforeseen circumstances such as weather, traffic, car trouble etc.
• 4 tardies = Student receives a detention. Parents will be notified via email by the teacher with the tardy policy.
• Tardies, 5 - 9 = Student will receive a detention for each subsequent tardy.
• After 8 tardies = Parents are required to come in for a meeting with the Principal and/or Dean of Students to sign an Attendance Contract. The contract states that when the student reaches the 10th tardy to first hour the student will be ineligible for extracurricular activities each day that they are tardy to school.
• 10th Tardy = Student is ineligible for extracurricular activities each day that they are tardy to school.
8
• Habitual morning tardies are subject to further consequences.
For tardies to periods B-H, students will receive a detention for every 4 tardies.
CO-CURRICULAR PARTICIPATION: Participation in co-curricular activities is a privilege. It completes a student’s educational experience. Participating in athletics, music, art, drama, and a variety of other clubs and organizations, students develop pride in their school community and a greater understanding of how their personal talents contribute toward a positive school atmosphere. Additionally, students learn how to work as a member of a larger group in pursuit of a common goal while developing transferable life skills and personal values. In order to sign-up for and participate in co-curricular activities the following may not be in arrears:
• Tuition payments
• Co-curricular/Club fee (if any)
• Current Physical on file
• Athletic fee
• Uniform fee Field trips for academic classes, which are not optional, are not included in this policy. Participation in any group or on any team carries certain responsibilities. It is expected that all members will be students in good standing within the school community in order to maintain eligibility. The three major areas in which students must maintain compliance are:
• Academic Eligibility The minimum academic standards for co-curricular participation are students must have a 2.0 GPA and not have a failing grade in any course.
Academic standing will be monitored throughout the school year. Eligibility for participation (grade checks) will be determined at Progress Reports of each marking period and at
the end of each marking period (a total of eight times during the year). Should a student fall below minimum standards at any of these periods, students may either be placed on academic probation or his/her eligibility may be immediately revoked until the next grade check. The Administration and the coach or moderator will work in conjunction with each student to monitor probation or eligibility.
• Behavioral Eligibility Students who have been placed on Behavioral Probation may be denied the opportunity to participate in co-curricular activities as deemed appropriate by the Administration.
• Student Attendance The expectation of School Administration, Teachers, Coaches, Club Moderators follows:
Students attend all their daily classes prior to any practice, rehearsal, game or performance. Unless it is a non-chargeable absence, students who miss any part of school on a given day will not be eligible to participate with their club, team or group on that day. Coaches and Administration reserve the right to disallow full participation if deemed necessary.
NOTE: Should special circumstances arise that would cause a student to be out of school for any portion of the day, it will be the responsibility of the family to receive a pre-approval from the administration for the student to be allowed to participate that day.
STUDENT BEHAVIOR AND DISCIPLINE Administration and staff are committed to promote the spiritual formation, academic integrity, and positive social behavior of our students. We will not accept any behavior that detracts from these values.
