2. If number grades are used, a C is 70-79.

“D” Work: 1. Needs Additional

time and or support to meet criteria.

2. 60—69

“F” Work 1. Student is failing and needs support.

2. If number grades are used, a F is 59 or below.

Incomplete Work: The grade of

incomplete, “I”, when given as a quarter, will allow the student one week to complete the outcome, standard or classroom work to achieve a grade of “C” or better. If there are reasons beyond the stu-dent’s control, and the week is not enough, the student, teacher and parent must enter into a contract specifying the work, time period, and other expectations needed for the student to achieve a grade of “C” or better.

“A” Work: 1. Consistently exceeds set criteria for tasks and outcomes.

Always produces high quality work.

2. If number grades are used, an A is 90-100.

“B” Work: 1. Consistently meets set criteria for tasks and outcomes.

Usually produces work of high quality.

2. If number grades are used, a B is 80-89.

“C” Work:

1. Usually meets set criteria for tasks and outcomes.

Usually performs work of satisfactory quality.

In both situations, if the work is not complet-ed in a satisfactory manner, in content, and on time, a grade of “F”, will be on the stu-dent’s report card and/or transcript.

It is critical that stu-dents have essential skills before leaving middle school. In order to help students develop academic disci-pline and essential

academic skills, GIS employs the following

General Information

Sign In/Sign Out: Students leaving school for any reason must be signed out at the main office. Students return-ing to school must sign in at the office. Parents are to notify the school either in writing or by phone if their child is to be gone during the day. Parents must pick up their children at the office.

Homework: Homework is given to help students develop academic discipline and to build and reinforce essential academic skills. When homework is as-signed students are ex-pected to complete and submit all homework on the day it is due. Students who are absent must make up all miss-ing class work and homework before the due date designated by the classroom teacher.

Successful completion of homework is essential to academic success. Parents and/or guardians can help by checking homework and signing their child’s homework folder or planner each evening.

Preparing for and studying for tests and assessments are important parts of the homework expectation.

The School Day

GIS has a “closed

campus” policy.

Students are to remain at school the entire school day, including the lunch period, unless a parent or guardian picks them up and signs the student out.

Page 6: Welcome to Glenrock Intermediate School GIS Mission ...€¦ · dents have essential skills before leaving middle school. In order to help students develop academic disci-pline and

General Information Continued Lunch/Breakfast: Students will have a meal account to use for school lunch, breakfast and milk purchases. Parents in need of free or reduced lunch

information should fill out an online application located on the school web-site.

Students must not allow other students to use their lunch account number.

Lunch Prices: Lunch prices are

subject to change and are available on the school website along with current lunch menus. Parents wishing to eat lunch with their children, should call the office by 8:30 AM, so that a lunch can be or-dered.

Students are able to purchase breakfast from 7:30AM-7:50AM.

Emergency Alarm: Whenever the “fire alarm” is sounded,

students are to follow their teacher’s

instructions

immediately. When evacuation of the

building is necessary, it is to be done quickly, quiet-ly, and in an

orderly man-ner.

School Buses: Only students

assigned to a bus will be allowed to ride that bus. Drivers will

discuss bus conduct rules with the

students. Failure to comply with bus rules may result in the loss of the privilege of

riding the bus.

Telephone Use: The office will only give stu-dents telephone

messages from

immediate family members. Except in an extreme emergency, a student will not be excused from a class to receive calls. The phones in the main office are maintained for business purposes, and may be used by the students after they have received permission. Long

distance calls are not to be made on the office phones.

Visitors: Any person who is not a GIS student or an employee of the school district must register at the office upon

Members of the school community are ex-pected to treat each oth-er with mutual respect and to accept the rich diversity which makes up the community. Dis-respect among members of the school communi-ty is unacceptable be-havior which threatens to disrupt the learning

environment and

decrease self-esteem.

Harassment is a form of unlawful

discrimination as well as disrespectful

behavior which will

not be tolerated.

It is herby the

policy of CCSD #2 to oppose and prohibit, without qualification, unlawful harassment based on race, color, religion (creed),

national origin, marital status, sex, sexual

orientation, or

disability.

Any unlawful

harassment of a student or school employee by a member of the school community is a viola-tion of this policy.

permission or Administrator’s

presence for questioning.

School officials will comply

with court orders concerning

the dealings of proper

authorities with students.

Parents have the right to

examine their child’s

permanent record.

Students do have certain

rights and there are procedures

the student and parent can

take if they don’t agree with

the school’s action.

It is important that

students and/or parents talk first with the school person

directly involved before going higher. Not only might the problem be solved at this level, but it also provides them a higher authority for appeal. In any disciplinary situation (unless immediate danger is present), the student has the right to know the charges against him/her and also has the right to tell his/her side of the story.

Police officers (or other au-

thorities) do not have the auto-

matic right to question stu-

dents in school. If such is de-

sired, parents will be contacted

to give their permission. If par-

ents are not present during

such questioning, the Adminis-

trator will sit in on the confer-

ence to protect the student’s

rights. Some situations (such

as child abuse/neglect) are

covered by special state statute

Asbestos Notification in Compliance with AHERA The Asbestos

Hazard Emergency

Response Act, AHERA, requires the annual no-tification of staff mem-bers and

parents of the existence and availability of the district’s asbestos

management plan. Such a plan was

developed for the

district by licensed EPA inspectors and

designers serving under contract to the school district. The plan was completed, accepted by the School Board, and filed with the State pri-or to October 12, 1988,

as required by AHERA. A copy of this plan is available for review at the

Administrative Office, 120 Boxelder Trail, Glenrock, Wyoming.

All facilities owned by the school district contain or did contain some asbestos with the exception of Oregon Trail Elementary School, Administration Office, and Bus

Garage. All of the

asbestos containing ma-terials have either been removed,

encapsulated or

contained so that it

does not pose a health threat to the occupants of school facilities.

A copy of the final remedial

recommendations,

response action, the

extent of remaining

asbestos and the

ongoing operations and management plan are included in the

district’s management plan. The plan is

available for review at the Administration

Office, 120 Boxelder Trail, Glenrock,

Wyoming.
