General School Rules
1. No student should be out of class without permission from his/her teacher for that period. A pass MUST accompany each student when he/she is out of class.
2. Any student who deliberately disobeys a legitimate request or order given by a
school official is subject to suspension or expulsion. 3. Hats may not be worn in the building and will be taken from students who fail
to follow the rule. 4. Students may not be in the parking areas at any time during the school day
without a pass from an administrator. 5. Students are not allowed to bring fast-food items when checking in to school
nor are parents allowed to bring fast-food items to students during the day. 6. Students must stay away from rooms with classes in progress during lunch. 7. Students shall be allowed to possess electronic devices during the instructional school day. Use of electronic devices during the instructional day, except in accordance with this policy, is otherwise prohibited. Cell phones SHOULD NOT be in use during instructional time unless a teacher gives permission for instructional use in the classroom. The Baldwin County Board of Education assumes no responsibility for lost, damaged or stolen electronic devices brought to school by students. Refusal to turn over an electronic device to an administrator will result in immediate suspension, pending further potential discipline, and a parent conference. Electronic devices shall be subject to search in accordance with applicable state and federal law. 8. Students may not go in the gym area or dressing rooms at any time except the
period in which they have physical education. 9. North Baldwin Center for Technology and/or JROTC students who miss the
bus must report to the office and will be assigned to OCS. Students will be marked unexcused unless transported by a parent/guardian.
10. Students should check in through the office when arriving late to school.
12
11. Students are not allowed to leave campus for lunch. 12. Hair color, make-up, dress, etc., that interferes with the educational process will not be permitted. 13. Students should report to class on time. Excessive tardies will bring appropriate disciplinary action. 14. Students may not receive deliveries of flowers, balloons, or forgotten items, etc. during school hours. 15. Only emergency messages are taken from parents. Changes to afternoon transportation must be made in person (with proper ID). Emergency situations will be handled at the discretion of the administration. 16. Running and yelling are not permitted in the halls. 17. Students may not leave campus for any reason without proper checkout through the attendance office. Students may not check out with other students. 18. Cheating/plagiarism is not tolerated. Students will receive a grade of “0” if they are found to have either cheated on or plagiarized an assignment, and a parent will be notified. For the second and subsequent cheating/plagiarizing offenses, students will receive a grade of “0”, parents will be notified, and further disciplinary action will be given. 19. Most students never have any problem if they do what they know is right. A few individuals, however, invariably commit acts that cannot be ignored. It would be impossible to make a list covering all possible acts that interfere with the orderly educational process that is essential to effective learning. The disposition of some incidents not listed must, therefore, be left to the discretion of school officials. Repeated offenses may result in additional corrective actions.

SPANISH FORT HIGH SCHOOL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
BUS CONDUCT While the Board offers, as needed, a system of student transportation, it also requires parents of students to accept responsibility for supervision until the child boards the bus in the morning and after the child leaves the bus at the end of the school day. Students must obey all instructions given by the driver and all school and Board policies while riding the bus. Students cannot leave the bus except at their regular stop without written permission from a parent and an administrator. Only at the time that a child boards the bus does he/she become the responsibility of the school district. Such responsibility shall end when the child is discharged at the regular bus stop at the end of the school day. When a child does not conduct himself properly on a bus, the bus driver will write a referral or bring him/her to the building principal, who may inform the parents of the misconduct and behavior. The principal or his designee will also discipline students as deemed appropriate. A child who becomes a serious disciplinary problem on the school bus may have his transportation privileges suspended or terminated. In such cases, the parents of the child involved will become responsible for transporting their child to and from school. CAFETERIA No one is allowed in the cafeteria that does not have business there. Good manners and cleanliness are required of all. Running to get in the lunch line is not appropriate; students must wait their turn without pushing, breaking line, or passing others. Students will be responsible for purchasing all food items obtained in the cafeteria. After eating, students must pick up plates and other trash and return them to the designated trash containers. CHECK-IN AND OUT PROCEDURE Excessive absences from school and/or classes have a direct negative impact on the academic success of our students. In a continued effort to minimize the number of absences students accumulate, late arrivals and early dismissals are strongly discouraged. Every effort should be exercised to keep the student in school for the entire day. Excessive check-ins or outs may result in additional measures being taken. All check-ins and check-outs will be done through the main office. Students will not be admitted to class without an admission slip and must present it the following day to teachers whose classes were missed.
14
Check-ins and early dismissals must be approved by office personnel and will be coded as excused or unexcused. If a check out is necessary, these procedures will be followed: • A note signed by the parent must be presented and the parent/guardian will be
called by office personnel to inform them of the early dismissal. OR
• The parent/guardian should come to the office and check out the student personally.
Students are not allowed to check out and leave with another student who is driving an automobile. Students checking out and leaving with another student’s parent or guardian must have prior written permission from his/her own parent/guardian and approval by an administrator. Check outs immediately before a holiday or major school event such as homecoming or prom will be coded as unexcused unless the student has prior approval from the principal or has a note from the doctor. Only an excused check-in or check-out slip will permit classwork to be made up. In all other cases, students will receive a zero for missed work. A student is considered absent for the entire day if checked in after 11:30a.m. Any student checking out before 11:30 a.m. is considered absent for the entire day. An early dismissal day requires attendance for the entire day (no check-ins or check outs). Students will not be penalized for missing class while on a school-sponsored activity and will be allowed to make up work missed and will be counted present in class. Should a student become ill at school, every effort will be made to contact the parent/guardian. A student who becomes ill at school must report to the nurse’s office. COMPUTER/INTERNET USE Please see BCBE Student Handbook regarding policies and procedures for use of student computers and internet. These guidelines can be found at www.bcbe.org. COURSE CHANGE PROCEDURE There will be no course changes at the beginning of the school year or new term except those deemed necessary by the principal. DRESS CODE/UNIFORM POLICY All students must be in compliance with current board policy. You can find the current Uniform Policy at www.bcbe.org.
15
DRIVER’S TEST REQUIREMENTS Students taking the driver’s exam must obtain an Enrollment/Exclusion Status Form from the school office. If a student is not enrolled or has accumulated more than ten consecutive or fifteen days total unexcused absences during a single term, the school must submit this information to the Department of Public Safety. FEES AND CHECKS All fees should be paid within the first two weeks of the school term and will be delinquent at the end of each term. Seniors must clear all outstanding financial obligations prior to being issued a cap and gown for graduation. All worthless checks returned to our account are processed by Envision Payment Solutions, and must be cleared with their office. The SFHS office is unable to accept payment for any NSF check. If your check is returned, it may be re-presented electronically. Service charges and processing fees of $30.00, as permitted by state law, will be debited from the same checking account by paper draft or electronically, at the option of Envision Payment Solutions. Checks will not be cashed in the school office. HEALTH ASSESSMENT RECORD At the beginning of each school year, each student must have a new health assessment completed and returned to the school nurse. Please complete front, back, and sign with the date. IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION PROGRAM The Baldwin County Board of Education shall maintain an on-campus suspension program as necessary to provide a structured disciplinary atmosphere in which a student is isolated or removed from regular classroom activities but is not dismissed from the school setting. PROCEDURES: 1. Students assigned to the On-Campus Suspension Center (OCS) should report to
first block/period for attendance then proceed directly to OCS. 2. The student will be given class-related assignments by regular classroom
teachers and expected to complete the assignments. 3. An assigned period of days will be given to the student. The student will not
be counted absent from class while in OCS. The student will be able to make up any work missed in his regular classes.
4. OCS can be extended if assignments are not completed. Makeup work missed during the extension of OCS is not allowed.
16
5. Lunch will be scheduled at times when OCS students will be unable to associate with other students. Students will not be allowed to attend any breaks given on the school campus.
6. While in OCS, a student will be allowed to participate in any extracurricular activities.
7. Students assigned to OCS will not be allowed to attend any assemblies, pep rallies, or other special programs that are held on the school campus during the school day.
8. Teachers may send tests for the student to take during OCS or allow the student to make up tests upon return to class at the end of OCS.
RULES: • The student must report to OCS with all materials. • If a student is absent, sick, or checks out, OCS time will be made up. • OCS students may not talk, must stay in their seats, and be occupied at all
times. If a student finishes all assignments, the OCS instructor has permission to assign additional work.
• Students will not be allowed to leave the room to attend class or for any other reason unless authorized by the OCS instructor or an administrator.
• Any student written up by the OCS instructor for being disruptive or displaying inappropriate behavior will be disciplined as determined by the administration.

Students are encouraged to visit the library, but are expected to maintain high standards of conduct that result in an atmosphere conducive to study. The library is an attractive area that has been provided for your work and pleasure. Please help maintain the library by keeping your area clean. Food and drinks are not permitted in the library. Place all discarded materials in the trashcans and return any books, magazines, and newspapers to their proper place.
17
Students may check out three books at a time. Books are checked out for a two-week time period and overdue fines are accrued at a rate of 10¢ per day (not to exceed $5.00 per item). A replacement cost is charged for lost or damaged materials. There are 5 computers and a print kiosk available for student use. Students should follow the Baldwin County Public School System Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) when using these computers. Copies may be purchased in the library for 10¢ per page; however, copyright laws should be strictly adhered to. Copyright rules are posted in the copy machine area. MAKEUP WORK/TESTS Makeup work/tests will be administered to students whose absences were due to reasons coded as “excused” according to policy. Students will have a maximum 3 days upon return to school to complete makeup work. It is the student’s responsibility to see the teacher to discuss arrangements for makeup tests. If a student has an excused absence prior to a test, the student should be given time to get materials missed before taking the test. PARENT – TEACHER CONFERENCES Parents are invited and encouraged to visit the school; however, visits during the school day should be cleared through the office. Parent–teacher conferences are most important in improving the learning atmosphere. Conferences with teachers must be scheduled before or after school or during the teacher’s planning period. Parents are reminded that teachers cannot be called from class on the spur of the moment to discuss a student’s status. Conferences are to be scheduled with the individual teacher via note, e-mail, or phone call. Administrators and teachers urge parents to arrange a conference early in the term. POLICY TO RECLAIM HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT Students who fail a course are strongly encouraged to make-up the course in summer school or to consult with the counselor to discuss their options. PROM The Junior-Senior Prom will be held at The Venue in Fairhope on Friday, April 17, 2015. The evening will include a buffet dinner, music, and a few surprises. Invitations will be sold for 4-5 weeks leading up to prom at varying rates. No invitations will be sold at the door. Outside date applications will be available in the front office and on the school website (www.spanishforttoros.org) a few weeks before prom. You must turn in a copy of your outside date’s driver’s license or other photo ID (with birth date) along with the signature of your date. Be advised, it will take you a little time to complete all of the requirements. It takes several days for approval, so those turned in during the last several days will have to pay the higher price for invitations. Spanish Fort High School
18
students will have to present their prom ticket/invitation at the door. Outside dates will have to present the same ticket/invitation and ID used for approval of their application. The family of each senior attending the prom will be given2 tickets to attend call outs---if a family has 2 or more seniors, they will still get only 2 tickets. Parents will be allowed to enter 15 minutes prior to call-outs and are asked to leave after the presentations. Crowning of the Prom King and Queen will occur immediately after call outs. The students selected for the court must be present to receive the honor. If the winner is not present, then the person with the next highest number of votes will receive the honor. IF YOU ARE A CANDIDATE FOR THIS HONOR, BE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR TICKET/INVITATION AS YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED WITHOUT THEM AND WE WILL NOT POSTPONE CALLOUTS OR THE CROWNING. **ALL Spanish Fort High School sponsored dances will adhere to the outside date procedure. REPORT CARDS Student progress notifications (report cards) are sent out after each eighteen-week grading period. The cards will be mailed to the home address on the Friday following the last Friday in the quarter. Mid-term reports are mailed home each 9 weeks for those students who have less than a 70 average. SATURDAY DETENTION PROGRAM As a supplement to the existing discipline program, a Saturday School Detention program has been implemented in order to help reinforce attendance policies and redirect unacceptable behavior. Saturday School will be established to uphold discipline procedures and will be operated by one teacher. Assignments will be given depending on the infraction. Students who are assigned to Saturday School and fail to appear on the assigned Saturday will receive an out-of-school suspension, usually during the following week. SCHOOL VISITORS Visitors must obtain permission from an administrator to be in the building or on school property and should follow these procedures: 1. Sign in the “Visitor’s Log” in the main office giving name, time, and destination. 2. Wear a visitor’s badge at all times on the campus. 3. Upon completion of the visit, return the badge to the office and sign out.
• STUDENT VISITORS. Students from other schools will not be permitted to visit. Spanish Fort High School students may not visit other schools during school hours except for school-sponsored events. Pupils who are in
19
violation of this are subject to disciplinary action and may be considered trespassing.
• UNAUTHORIZED VISITORS. Unauthorized persons on school property are trespassers and shall be subject to legal prosecution. This includes students who are on suspensions or have been expelled.
SENIOR AND JUNIOR COLLEGE DAYS Seniors & juniors will be allowed two (2) days total during the school year for the purpose of visiting colleges. To be excused, prior approval is needed from the principal at least two (2) weeks in advance. Students must complete a college visit request form and submit the form to the office. After the college visit, the form must be re-submitted to the office as verification of the college visit. SNACK BAR Drinks and refreshments from the canteen are to be consumed in the area of the canteen. Drink containers, paper, lunch bags, and other refuse from the canteen are to be placed in the trashcans provided in the canteen area. Water is the only drink permitted in the classroom. TEXTBOOKS ♦ The parent/guardian or other persons having custody of a student to whom
textbooks are issued shall be liable for any loss, abuse, or damage in excess of that which would result from the normal use of such textbooks.
♦ Textbooks will not be issued to students with outstanding financial obligations. ♦ Any textbooks or library books found on campus will be turned in to the office.
It is the student’s responsibility to return all textbooks to the office when the course is completed.
♦ Students will be given credit for the return of the specific textbooks issued to them as indicated in the textbook computer program.
