Health All students must submit records verifying the following immunizations before enrolling at Dongola Elementary. Immunization schedules should be kept after enrollment as appropriate. For more specific information, contact the school office at 827-3524.
· Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis (DTP, DTaP, DT, Td) · Poliomyelitis (OPV, IPV) · MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) · Hepatitis B · HaemophilusB (Hib)
If a student becomes ill during school, she or he should report to the school office. Students who need to take over-the-counter drugs (with permission and instructions from the parents or guardians) or drugs prescribed to them by a doctor must leave them with the school office and return to the school office at the appropriate time to take the required dosage.
All diseases that could be contagious should be reported to the school office, even if they develop over the weekend and the student is well enough to return to school by Monday. It is important for the school office to be able to track occurrences of infectious disease to provide parents with information about any public health issues and any needed precautions.
Security
All school visitors must first report to the main office to receive visitor badges. Our students know to look for the badges and are instructed to report any unauthorized visitors immediately. Any student leaving early must be signed out at the front desk by her/his parent or guardian or a representative (e.g., other family member) stipulated by the parent or guardian.
Disciplinary Process
Any violations of school rules, the Code of Conduct, or local, state, and federal laws will be handled by the disciplinary process as outlined below. The process can be joined at any stage as warranted by the degree and nature of the offense. Any time the principal or her/his designee believes a law may have been broken, law enforcement officials will be notified.
Warning The student shall be warned verbally that a specific behavior is unacceptable.
Student Conference The student and staff member(s) meet for the purpose of discussing and solving behavioral problems. The student may be assigned after-school detention.
Parent and/or Guardian Conference The staff member(s) schedule a conference with the parent(s) and/or guardian(s) to discuss and work toward a solution to behavioral problems. The student may also be involved in the conference. The emphasis is on gaining the help of the parent(s) and/or guardian(s). The student may be assigned Saturday detention.
Referral to a Resource Agency or Person The student is referred to an in-school or out-of-school agency or person that is believed might be of assistance in solving the behavior problem. A referral should normally be made with the cooperation of a student and/or parent(s).
Suspension and Expulsion From School If the behavioral problems persist or if the offense is serious enough to warrant it, the student may be suspended or expelled from school. The categories of suspension and expulsion are o In-school suspension: exclusion from a class, subject, or activity o Short-term suspension: 1 to 10 full school days o Suspension pending investigation o Long-term suspension
Expulsion: the removal of a student from attendance in the school district
Students who receive two suspensions will no longer be able to participate in extracurricular activities for the remainder of the school year.
Appeal Process The student or parent/guardian may request an appeal of a suspension or expulsion, in which case, a conference will be scheduled with the principal (in cases of suspension) or the school board (in cases of expulsion). If the student or parent/guardian disagrees with the results of the meeting, an appeal may be filed and a meeting set with the district superintendent. Initial appeals must be filed no later than the day following the decision to suspend or expel the student.
