Title: Expectations of Student Behavior and Attendance

Expectations of Student Behavior and Attendance
  • Reasonable, Appropriate, Cooperative

2
To the Parents and Students of Lisle Senior High
School
  • This power point was part of a presentation made
    to each class of students at Lisle Senior High
    School on Wednesday, August 24, 2005. It is an
    introduction to our expectations of student
    discipline and attendance and provides some
    direction on some more specific items. The
    student handbook, issued to each student at the
    start of the year, provides more, specific
    information on procedures and policies. Please
    become familiar with its contents.
  • If you have questions on anything in the
    presentation or in general about these topics,
    please feel free to contact me by phone or
    e-mail.
  • Our purpose in this presentation is to maximize
    student success by making clear the expectations
    of LSHS and the schools commitment to helping
    each student achieve that success.

Purpose
  • To acquaint students with the basic expectations
    of student behavior and attendance to maximize
    student success at Lisle Senior High School

6
Basic Expectation
  • Students will demonstrate or learn to demonstrate
    appropriate behaviors in the learning and social
    situations of the high school.
  • Areas to be addressed include but are not limited
    to
  • Behavior and decorum
  • Attendance and punctuality
  • Industry
  • Dress

7
Important Note
  • The student handbook is issued to all students.
    Students are responsible for its contents. Please
    read and understand it. Much of the following
    information is in the handbook.

8
AttendanceStudents are expected to be in their
assigned classroom at the time assigned.
Otherwise a student is either tardy or absent
  • The school makes all decisions about the nature
    of an absence, that is, whether an absence is
    excused or unexcused.
  • The handbook lists reasons for excused absences,
    such as illness, pre-arranged absences, etc.
    Students who have unexcused absences will receive
    behavioral and academic consequences
  • Students are not allowed to leave the building
    without specific permission.
  • Teachers will share with students their
    definition of tardiness
  • When a student leaves the area to which he/she is
    assigned for that period, that student will carry
    a signed, timed pass from the supervising teacher.

9
ConsequencesTardiness
  • Tardiness (in a class, in a semester)
  • 3rd warning
  • 4th 1 detention
  • 5th 2 detentions
  • 6 and more 1 Saturday Detention
  • Lunch detentions may be substituted for after
    school detentions at the discretion of the
    Assistant Principal

10
ConsequencesUnexcused Absences
  • 1st in a semester 1 detention
  • 2nd and more in a semester 1 Saturday Detention
  • When a student acquires 5 outstanding Saturday
    Detentions, that student may be suspended for 5
    school days.

11
Note
  • More than 700 detentions for tardiness were
    written in the 2004-2005 school year.
  • 807 referrals for unexcused absences were written
    last year
  • A total of 2,620 referrals were written during
    the entire school year.
  • That means almost 60 of all referrals were for
    attendance issues.

12
Behavior Basics
  • Students are asked to exhibit reasonable
    behaviors and follow the reasonable requests of
    staff members.
  • In many instances, student willingness to follow
    these reasonable requests will eliminate minor or
    potential problems and behavioral consequences.
  • Failure to follow reasonable requests creates a
    new problem for the student, insubordination
  • Insubordination is the failure of a student to
    follow the reasonable request of a staff member.
    It carries consequences such as detention or
    suspension

13
Behavior Basics (contd)
  • Certain behaviors, dangerous in the school
    environment are consequenced by suspension and/or
    expulsion, due to repetition or gravity.
    Arrest/ticketing by the LPD may be an option. A
    list includes, but is not limited to
  • Fighting, physical violence to a student
  • Drug, alcohol, tobacco, use, sale, distribution
  • Defiance (a directly demonstrated or stated
    refusal to comply), threats, physical violence to
    a staff member
  • Repeated and/or gross acts of bullying,
    intimidation, harassment
  • Possession/use of weapons
  • The student handbook has a listing of offenses
    and consequences

14
Behavior Basics (concluded)
  • Most detentions, not related to attendance are
    issued for
  • Profanity
  • Minor classroom disruption
  • Rough/physical behavior in classroom, hallway
  • Insubordination (the failure to follow a
    reasonable request by a staff member)

15
Detentions
  • Tuesdays and Thursdays after school, 245-345 pm.
  • Lunch detentions for tardiness may be held during
    a students lunch period
  • Saturday Detentions are from 8 am to 1pm
  • Held in room 101 (Study Hall)
  • After the first detention in a semester, the
    student may be assigned to detention on Saturday
    for anymore detentions received in that semester.
  • Detention hours may be increased when student
    misses detention.
  • Students who fail to serve their detentions are
    suspended out of school.

16
Student Dress
  • Students are expected to dress in a manner to
    promote a professional learning atmosphere
  • Dress Code is in the Student Handbook and posted
    in restrooms and locker rooms.
  • Students will be asked to modify inappropriate
    clothing. Repetition may be considered
    insubordination.
  • Four most common violations of dress code are
  • Head coverings
  • Inappropriate female tops
  • Males pants too low
  • Shirts with drug, alcohol, sexual, profane
    references

17
Dress Code Donts
18
Specific Items
  • Backpacks and book bags are to be in student
    lockers during the day (If it is used to carry
    books and/or papers, its a book bag).
  • Personal entertainment devices
  • Discouraged
  • School not responsible
  • NOT worn in hallways
  • Teacher decision about use in classroom

19
More Specific Items
  • Cell phones are to be out of sight and sound
    during school day. Leave it off, in your locker
  • The use of camera devices in areas that infringe
    on the privacy of others is prohibited
  • Lisle HS assumes no liability for the above
    devices.
  • Students are to use the locker assigned to them
    and keep them clean. Periodic checks will take
    place during the year.
  • Food is to be consumed in the lunchroom and
    students are expected to remain in the lunchroom
    during their lunch.
  • Generally speaking, all the above are minor
    incidents and students will be warned of their
    inappropriateness. Repetition of the behavior is
    insubordination.

Special Procedures
22
Parking
  • A privilege for Seniors and then Juniors. Seniors
    have applied for spaces during registration. Some
    Sophomores will be allowed to park at the Park
    District building (east side lot) on the south
    side of Short Street. Information regarding
    Junior and Sophomore parking will be released
    during the first full week of school.
  • Limited number of permits. On Monday, August 29,
    a list of numbered spaces and the student it is
    assigned to will be posted in the Assistant
    Principals Office. Student will park in his/her
    numbered space.
  • Failure to follow parking rules (student
    handbook, parking application), and/or other
    school rules may result loss of parking privilege
    and carry behavioral consequences.
  • Tickets may be issued by the LPD for failure to
    follow parking procedures. Cars may be towed for
    failure to follow procedures.

23
Conclusions
  • The purpose of these rules and policies is to
    create and promote a learning environment in
    which you can be most successful and safe.
  • We believe you either know appropriate behaviors
    or can learn them. We will help you.
  • Your willingness to cooperate with staff members
    trying to help you will contribute greatly to
    your success
  • If you are where your supposed to be, when you
    are supposed to be there, and do what the staff
    members in charge reasonably ask you to do, you
    will be very successful here.
  • GOOD LUCK!
  • SEMPER LEO!
