Dear Student:
This handbook was designed to help you have a
productive year. It will be of use to you in two ways.
Whether you are a new or continuing student, it will
give you good information about Barry Tech. While our
procedures and requirements are probably not very
different from those in your home high school, the
information contained in this handbook will give you a
quick and easy way of knowing what opportunities and
activities are available to you at Barry Tech and what your
teachers here expect from you.
The decision to attend Barry Tech was a significant
one. By choosing to study an occupation, you selected
an excellent way of preparing yourself for work and/or
college readiness. Whatever your plans after graduating
from high school, the skills you learn in your career and
technical program will give you a head start on your future.
The Barry Tech administrative, teaching and support staffs
will work with you to help you achieve your goals. Take
advantage of their willingness to share their knowledge
and expertise. Your success is up to you.
My best wishes for a good year.
Sincerely,
James Clark
Principal

School Procedures and Regulations
Social Agreement and Guarantee
The educational goal of the Barry Tech Career & Technical Education Center is to develop
students who are self-directed learners. This is tied into our social agreement which
consists of two parts: Rules and regulations that are school-wide policy; and a list of
responsibilities and work performance incentives and rating evaluations for classroom
behavior, agreed upon between your class, your teacher and the administration. It is
based upon a value system that maintains the dignity of teachers and students in all
situations. More than any other aspect, the Social Agreement encourages you to take
responsibility for your own behavior. We are increasingly aware of the demands of
living in a future society in which compassion and cooperation, problem-solving and
creativity, and communication and responsibility will be a requirement for success. In
order to function in a competitive society, you must learn to make decisions. Within the
decision-making process, there will be mistakes made. We expect you to make mistakes
and we also expect you to learn from your mistakes. Establishing a Social Agreement
allows you the opportunity to grow in becoming a responsible individual who is able
to think, make decisions and act for yourself.
You will be involved in the process of developing a list of rules and consequences
for classroom behavior in your program. The lists are discussed and evaluated
by the total class, and when agreement is reached, the list of rules becomes the
Social Agreement.
By participating in the planning, deciding, evaluating and analyzing of your Social
Agreement, you will have a better understanding of the rules and consequences that
you and your teacher were responsible for establishing, and are responsible for
adhering to at Barry Tech.
www.barrytech.org
Basic Guideline to Success at Barry Tech
1. Social Agreement: It will be your responsibility to participate in the
formulation of the rules and consequences of your class’ Social Agreement and
to recognize, understand and abide by Barry Tech’s rules and consequences.
2. Attendance and Tardiness: It will be your responsibility to attend school on
a regular basis.
3. Busing: The demonstration of your behavior in the transportation to and from
Barry Tech will indicate to us your status in developing the proper character
as it relates to your commitment to the Social Agreement.
4. Food: It is your responsibility to be prudent in the consumption of food at Barry
Tech. Your Social Agreement, teacher and bus driver may have simple rules and
regulations to follow. Common sense and proper disposal of wrappers will be
our indication of your application of this privilege.
5. Dress Code: You are preparing for a career; therefore, appropriate dress and
grooming should reflect your specific occupation. Safety may dictate appropriate
apparel in your class as described by the Social Agreement. Appropriate dress
varies from program to program.
The following attire will not be permitted:
•

midriff and chest area.
6. Drugs, Alcohol and Weapons: Drugs, alcohol and weapons are prohibited

Department for prosecution, to your sending district for disciplinary action
and may result in expulsion from Barry Tech.
7. Tobacco Products and/or Smoking: Use of tobacco products is prohibited
at Barry Tech and surrounding property. This is a great opportunity to practice
sound health habits and to be courteous to non-smokers.
8. Fighting: Fighting is prohibited and may be considered as an assault. Certain
circumstances may require Barry Tech to contact the police department for
possible prosecution. It also carries a minimum three day suspension with contact
with the home school and possible termination from Barry Tech.

9. Safety: In the interest of your personal safety and the safety of your classmates,
it is your responsibility to adhere to all safety regulations for the safe passage
of students and safe use of the equipment found throughout the school.
10. Insubordination: Barry Tech staff is encouraged to respect your ideas and
concerns, and it is your responsibility to mutually respect the rights and opinions

educational process. Open insubordination will be disciplined.
11. Bullying: Barry Tech will not tolerate the bullying of other students.
If bullying occurs, students will face immediate disciplinary action.
Please Note: Further information regarding these social areas can be found in your
handbook.
Attendance
Attendance is important and it is the student’s responsibility as a member of the school
community to maintain regular attendance. It is directly related to your preparation
towards future college and career readiness. Poor attendance negatively impacts
academic performance and future career success.
A day absent from Barry Tech equals almost three days of a one-period class
at your high school. Not only will excessive absenteeism or lateness affect your
grade, but it impacts your ability to be prepared for future employment and
class activities at Barry Tech. Our business partners are looking for responsible
students who can be punctual and in attendance every day. Absenteeism will be
factored into the work ethic, knowledge and skill portions of your overall grade.
Absenteeism will impact your ability to participate in the following activities:
Work-Based learning (internships, cooperative learning), service learning and
community service, competitions, student leadership (peer mediation, student
ambassador), Honor Society, Student of the Quarter, Outstanding Student and
receiving a technical endorsement on your high school diploma.
Attendance is taken daily and you are expected to be on time and attend the
entire session. The attendance personnel or our automated system will make
telephone calls to your parent(s) to report absences. A student needs to bring a
note stating the reason of absence within five (5) school days of their return to
Barry Tech. Any Home School activity including but not limited to: field trips, pep
rally, senior pictures, require advanced notification and a note or e-mail from
your Home School guidance counselor in order for your absence to be excused.
Weekly attendance reports are sent to all home school districts. Excessive absences
will be monitored closely by our attendance office and guidance counselors.
There is a standard attendance policy and procedure which will be followed.
Necessary interventions are documented as an attempt to improve a student’s
attendance at Barry Tech.
1. After five (5) absences a letter is sent home to make sure that your parent/
guardian is aware of your absences.
www.barrytech.org
2. After 10 absences a second letter is sent home to make sure that your parent/
guardian is aware of your excessive absences. A conference will be scheduled
and you, your parent and guidance counselor will be required to sign an
“Attendance Expectation Contract.” This contract outlines the requirements
for you to maintain academic progress and satisfactory attendance.
3. If additional absences occur resulting in a total of 20 absences and the
expectation contract is not followed you will be required to follow the procedure
for a “Student Request for an Attendance Committee Hearing.”
Student Request for
an Attendance Committee Hearing
Any student that has been absent for more than 20 days will be subjected to an
attendance committee hearing. A senior with over 20 days absent may not be able to
attend graduation and/or receive a Barry Tech certificate of completion. * Excessive
absences can effect the amount of credits earned from Barry Tech. If a student can
document mitigating circumstances for failure to meet the required attendance
policy, there is an application for a hearing that must be filled out with all attendance
documentation attached. The Attendance Committee will review your individual
circumstances and determine eligibility. A hearing will be scheduled and you will be
notified of the committee’s decision in writing within five (5) school days.
Procedure
The following must be submitted to the College and Career Center and will be
presented to the Attendance Appeal Committee:
Student’s appeal includes:
1. A typed, detailed written essay with the following information:
• Past extenuating circumstances that prevented you from meeting satisfactory
attendance during the school year.
• What changes have occurred regarding these circumstances that would
allow you to be successful in regaining satisfactory attendance status.
2. A signed copy of the student’s “Attendance Expectation Contract.”
Examples of documentation to be attached:
Diagnosed medical condition
Doctor notes or hospitalization papers
Proof of approved school activity
Transportation issue
Legal issue or obligation
Emotional issue and/or treatment
Bereavement
International obligation
Excused Absences
Any note received must clearly state the reason and the dates of the absence.
The following reasons for absences from school are recognized as valid. Within
five (5) school days of the student’s return to school, all students must have a
note in order for the absence to be recognized and coded as a “valid” absence:
1. Personal illness;

will be out for three (3) or more days.
A note needs to be presented to the attendance office within five (5) school days
of a student’s return to Barry Tech in order for the absence to be considered an
excused absence.
After five (5) school days it will be marked as an unexcused absence. Absences from
class will impact a student’s Work Ethic grade, Knowledge and Skill grade.

Academic Classes
In order for some students to meet graduation requirements and to have the
opportunity to attend a program at Barry Tech, they need to be scheduled for an
academic pullout class. Students who are scheduled for academic pullout classes
must attend these classes on time and regularly. A bell will ring at 8:45 for the AM
session or 12:45 for the PM session; at these times, students must leave their Barry
Tech classes and report to their academic classes. Students who are involved in
a clinic, WBL or Co-op experience can attend only on the days that they are not
scheduled for an academic pullout. All field trips MUST have the approval of both the
academic teachers and CTE teachers as well as the academic guidance counselor in
order for students to attend. Only those students in good standing will be allowed the
opportunity to go on field trips.
*One (1) academic subject credit will be awarded at the end of the year only if
the student has passed the class and completed all the necessary requirements.
Your School District may grant academic credit through integration within the CTE
class. It is important that any and all assignments provided by the CTE and/or Academic
teacher are completed successfully and on time. Students who do not complete their
assignment may be in jeopardy of losing credits needed for High School graduation.
It is possible for a student to pass the CTE course but fail the integrated Technical
Academics.
www.barrytech.org
The use of a technical academic credit is solely at the discretion of the home school
district.
Grading Policy
Grading Procedure
Your grade is determined by your participation and success in three areas:
1. Skill – Performance skills and tasks accomplished.
2. Knowledge – Formal tests.
3. Work Ethic – Employability Skills.
Skills
Skills and tasks are described as those skills which make you job-competent. Your
curriculum is described as units of instruction. Each unit is broken down into a
series of skills and tasks.
The tasks will be graded on a rubric of 0-10 demonstrating the competency level
based on industry standards.
Knowledge
The second section of grading is your knowledge grade. Formal tests and quizzes
will be given on each unit of instruction.
Test and Assignment Make Ups
Students who miss Assignments and tests due to an excused absence will receive a
zero until work is made up. Students will be expected to complete the assignments
and tests within 5 days.
Students who miss assignments and tests due to an unexcused absence will be
expected to complete all assignments within (5) five days but will not be able to
receive full credit for the assignments and/or tests.
Work Ethic — Employability Skills
The third section of your grade is your Work Ethic. It is based on everything involving
activities of a self-directed learner. Your overall attendance, punctuality, behavior
and participation in class activities impact your Work Ethic grade.
Remember, privileges are connected to the grade you receive. For example: A
student earns the privilege to participate in our Work-Based Learning program
upon completing at least 75 percent of the competencies required and maintaining
satisfactory attendance.
Career and Financial Management (CFM)
All students pursuing a Career and Technical Education sequence must take and pass
the Career and Financial Management (CFM) local assessment.
  •  9 
www.barrytech.org
Requirements for Obtaining Full Credit
for a Marking Period
1. All absences must be accounted for by written correspondence from a
parent or guardian or the school district for all Home School Activities,
including court notes, etc.
2. A student who has excessive absences in any one marking period will have his/
her grade impacted by a low Work Ethic grade.
3. Assignments not submitted by the specified date will result in a deduction in
the daily Work Ethic grade, skill and/or knowledge grade.
4. Assignments and tests not made up by the end of the marking period will result
in a zero for that assignment, test and/or skill grade.
Lateness
If you arrive at school after the posted starting time for the morning session (7:50)
or for the afternoon session (11:50), you will be marked late for that day. You must
get a pass upon entering the building and bring it to the Attendance Office in order
to enter class if you are late.
1. Only the following will be considered EXCUSED LATENESS:
A. A school bus arriving after the late bell or no bus pick-up (which will be
verified by a parent/guardian note or district notification).
B. A lateness due to home school activity (an official letter from your home
school must be presented to the Attendance Office).
C. A family emergency (a letter of explanation from the parent/guardian is
required).
D. Legal excuse would include court, medical or religious obligation with
written notification.
2. All others will be considered UNEXCUSED LATENESSES which will affect the student’s Work Ethic grade.
Consequences of Excessive Lateness
All intervention will be made by the classroom teacher by a call home. If necessary
the guidance department will become involved.
The 5th Unexcused Lateness will be a written referral to the assistant principal and
a letter sent home to the parent or guardian.
Unexcused Lateness will affect a student’s Work Ethic grade and lead to possible
disciplinary action.
Grade Reporting
Report Cards are issued on a quarterly basis and are mailed directly to students and
parents. The home high school also receives the grades from Barry Tech and posts
the grades on your high school report cards.

(October 10) and take advantage of our College Center.
College Articulation Agreements
More than 70% of the Barry Tech graduates continue their education after high
school. The successful completion of a career and technical education course can
lead to advanced academic standing at a university, college or technical school. In
most cases, articulation agreements are based upon completion of a two-year program
at Barry Tech and college credits are granted based upon Barry Tech’s curriculum.
The policy for receiving advanced standing or actual college credits differs from
school-to-school. Students must first be accepted under the application process
required for admission to the specific college. In addition, each college has its own
criteria including a placement examination(s) before credit is awarded. Articulation
agreements only apply to the college or school offering the agreement and are not
transferable to other institutions.
Dual-Enrollment agreements allow students to enroll in a college-level course while
they are simultaneously enrolled in their Barry Tech program. Dual-Enrollment
agreements require students to pay a fee directly to the college as they are purchasing
fully transferable college credits, while completing the college’s curriculum. Upon
successful completion of all requirements, you must request that your official college
transcript be sent directly to the college that you will be attending in order for credits
to be applied to your degree program.

www.barrytech.org
Work-Based Learning Program
Experiential Education Through WBL
These are various types of work-based learning opportunities for you to apply
and reinforce classroom learning. The successful experiences, connections and
references which you earn are ideal additions to resumes and applications for
college and jobs. In order to participate, students under the age of 18 must submit
an “Employment Certificate” (also known as working papers, which they can obtain
from their home school nurse) to the WBL Coordinator. You must also meet eligibility
criteria for skills competency, grades, attendance, and behavior.
* For many Work Based Learning experiences, proof of United States citizenship
may be required.
1. Co-Op (Cooperative Occupational Education Program)
Paid Co-Op offers students who are in the second year of their program at Barry
Tech an opportunity for school credit for occupationally-related, school and
sponsor-supervised and evaluated employment training plan, listing objective
competencies and skills/tasks. Teachers refer eligible students to the Co-Op
coordinator for processing in the second quarter. Co-Op agreements must
be signed by the sponsor, parent, student, teacher, and coordinator.
Student Eligibility Criteria for Co-Op*
(1) Complete 75 percent of CTE related skills, including safety instruction.
(2) Achieve a minimum CTE grade of 75 percent.
(3) Attendance must not exceed three (3) unexcused absences in the
previous quarter.
(4) Zero disciplinary referrals resulting in Barry Tech out-of-school
suspension.
2. Internships – CEIP (Career Education Internship Program)
Unpaid supervised work-based learning experience for credit is scheduled
for a specified short term, usually during the Barry Tech session. The
CTE teacher, coordinator, sponsor, and mentor develop an individualized
training plan listing skills/tasks/objectives to be learned and evaluated. An
agreement is signed by all parties including parents. The student intern
will assist the mentor and learn about the work environment, tasks, career
requirements and opportunities.

suspension.
  •  15 
www.barrytech.org
(5)During Internships, all students are expected to turn in timesheets,
a legal document verifying your attendance, according to the
established timeline. Failure to do so will effect your work ethic
grade and may result in the termination of your Internship.
*Exceptions to above at principal’s discretion
3. Clinic
This is a required curriculum component for health-related and child
development programs. During the Barry Tech session, the teacher takes the
class by bus to a hospital, nursing home, or related facility where students
gain supervised on-the-job work experience. The clinic program fosters
positive interaction between students, clients and employees.
4. Field Trips/Tours and Shadowing
Students often visit business and industry sites, or professional trade events.
In addition, recommended students may have an opportunity to interview
or shadow an employee in their career of study to gain first hand awareness
of the work environment and career path.
Business Partnerships
Barry Tech values its industry partners who sponsor the work-based learning programs and
also contribute as advisors, program evaluators, competition judges, donors, classroom
speakers, trip or shadow day hosts, and employers. The faculty and administration will
once again honor them at our annual Industry Mentor Brunch on Tuesday, December
13, 2011. Spread the word to industry people that the best way to connect with our career

Student Recognition
Barry Tech students are recognized and rewarded for their outstanding
accomplishments—academic achievement, leadership, and contributions to their
schools and communities. Because this is important to all of us at Barry Tech, a
comprehensive recognition program is available to all students. This includes:
National Technical Honor Society
Barry Tech is a chapter member of the National Technical Honor Society, an organization
for outstanding students enrolled in occupational or technical programs.
The purpose of the National Technical Honor Society is to promote service, leadership,
honesty, career development, and skill workmanship; to reward student achievement;
to encourage and assist student education and career goal setting; to promote a
stronger linkage between local vocational/technical institutions with business and
industry; and to promote the image of vocational/technical education in America.
Honor Roll
The Honor Roll requires an average of 85 percent or above. High Honors requires
an average of 90 or above. Honor Roll students also may not have more than four
unexcused absences and cannot have any discipline referrals during the quarter.
Students of the Quarter
Each quarter, teachers select students for this honor. It is awarded to students who
actively participate in class, demonstrate significant progress in occupational skills,
have excellent attendance, complete all assignments, and demonstrate a positive
attitude and good interpersonal skills.
Outstanding Students
At the end of the school year, one outstanding student is selected from each course.
Students who receive this award actively participate in class, demonstrate progress
in occupational skills, have excellent attendance, complete all assignments and
demonstrate a positive attitude and good interpersonal skills.
Please Note: Excessive absences will prevent your eligibility to be recognized as an
outstanding student.
Vanguard Award
Barry Tech seniors, who are in a non-traditional CTE class, are recognized by New
York State Vanguard Program. Non-traditional consists of a male in a predominately
female profession and vice-versa. Our students are acknowledged by receiving both
Scholarships and New York State recognition.
  •  19 
www.barrytech.org
Technical Endorsements
Upon successful completion of a Career and Technical Education course, you will
take an industry assessment. If you successfully pass the industry assessment and
other bench marks, you will be eligible to receive a technical endorsement on your
high school diploma pending you have passed five (5) Regents examinations in your
home school. Please see your teacher/guidance counselor for further information.
Student Activities
Student Ambassadors
Barry Tech Student Ambassadors are nominated by their teachers and the Pupil
Personnel Services staff. Student ambassadors demonstrate success at Barry Tech
through classroom achievement, leadership, and good communication skills.
Student Ambassadors assist with Orientation and Taste of Tech programs, act as
guides for student visitors and parents and help new students become familiar with
Barry Tech. Ambassadors have the opportunity to share their experiences in a variety
of programs at Barry Tech, in their home high schools, and local community and
youth organizations.
SkillsUSA
Being part of a group is one way to develop leadership. Group interaction is important
in acquiring self-awareness and self-confidence. SkillsUSA offers many opportunities
for students to achieve and develop talents and abilities. Students receive valuable
advice about how to succeed on the job, work with people and present themselves
as leaders. SkillsUSA’s purposes, as defined by its members, are to:
• Unite all students enrolled in trade, industrial, technical and health
occupations education;
• Develop leadership abilities through participation in educational, vocational,
civic, recreational and social activities;
• Foster a deep respect for the dignity of work;
• Assist students in establishing realistic career goals;
• Help students attain a purposeful life;
• Create enthusiasm for learning;
• Promote high standards in trade ethics, workmanship, scholarship and
safety; and
• Develop the ability of students to plan together, organize and carry out
worthy activities and projects.
The members of SkillsUSA decide on their activities. In the past these activities
have included field trips, contests with other schools and participation in the State
Contest in Syracuse, New York. Winners of the New York State Contest have gone on
to participate in the SkillsUSA National Competitions.
Prominent leaders from industry and education participate as guest speakers and
consultants. Prizes are awarded by industry for outstanding student accomplishments.
All Barry Tech students are eligible to join SkillsUSA.
www.barrytech.org
Future Farmers of America
The Future Farmers of America (FFA) is the largest vocational youth group in America
whose membership is open only to students enrolled in vocational agriculture programs
(e.g., Small Animal Care, Horse Science and Management, Animal Care Skills, and
Veterinary Technology). Its purpose is to develop leadership in the agricultural industry,
as well as to create more interest in agricultural occupations.
FFA helps make learning more interesting through worthwhile experiences such as
leadership activities, skills competitions and social activities. As members, students
can participate in career-oriented activities and contests at the local, district, state
and national levels.
Barry Tech students enrolled in the agricultural courses are eligible to join FFA but
must pay club membership dues.
Peer Mediation
During a typical school day, conflict may arise over many issues. The Conflict Resolution
Program at Barry Tech is designed to teach students appropriate ways to end disputes
and arrive at peaceful solutions. All students are encouraged to participate.
Service Learning
Barry Tech students will be involved in a Service Learning project throughout the
school year. Service Learning involves students in a learning approach that integrates
local needs with their academics and their CTE courses. Students become involved
and connected to the needs of their community and their school. Through Service
Learning students will have the time to reflect upon their experiences and develop
civic responsibility. The project encompasses the importance of greening technology
and 21st Century learning skills. The culmination of the project is the Service Learning
Fair on April 12th, which will be held at Barry Tech.
Health Services
If you are hurt or ill, speak to your teacher and ask for a pass to the school nurse’s
office. The school nurse will provide emergency care for you in accidental or
unexpected medical situations.*
If you need to take medication during the school day, you must:
• Bring a note from your parent/guardian which gives the nurse
permission to store the medication for your use, releasing Nassau BOCES
and its employees of liability for the administration of medication;
• Give the nurse a doctor’s note with instructions about dosage, times
given, etc.; and
• Bring a copy of the prescription.
All medications should be handed to the school nurse as soon as you arrive at
Barry Tech. You may not have prescription drugs in your possession while at school.
Nurse’s Office phone number: (516) 622-6819
  •  21 
www.barrytech.org
* You can be released by the nurse or administration to a parent, guardian or
home school representative. A signature by the parent, guardian or home
school representative is required.

Code of Conduct Summary
A copy of the Nassau BOCES Code of Conduct is available upon request to the
principal’s office in each school. Students will be given a summary of the Code at
the start of each school year. Parents and students who enroll in a school during
the school year will be given a summary and offered a complete copy. All Nassau
BOCES employees will be provided with a copy of the full Code of Conduct at the
start of each school year.
www.barrytech.org
The Nassau BOCES Board will review the Code annually and adopt any necessary
revisions following a period for public comment.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
You have all the rights afforded you by federal and state constitutions, statutes and
regulations. We remind you that certain responsibilities accompany these rights.
Harassment and Bullying
Barry Tech follows closely the legislation, adopted and effective July 1, 2012 in all
New York State schools, “Dignity for All Students Act” (DASA). The purpose of this
act is to foster civility in schools and to “prevent and prohibit conduct which is
inconsistent with our school’s mission.” The Barry Tech DASA coordinator is Dr.
Shelly Rebaudo, phone number 516-622-6880.
“Harassment and Bullying” means the creation of a hostile environment by conduct
or by verbal threats, intimidation, or abuse that has or would have an adverse effect
on a student’s educational performance or mental, emotional, or physical well-being.
Verbal threats, intimidation or abuse (physical, verbal or emotional) that reasonably
causes a student to fear for his/her physical safety or verbal threats, intimidation, or
abuse (physical, verbal or emotional) based on a person’s actual or perceived race,
color, disability, sexual orientation, gender or sex will not be tolerated at Barry Tech.
Students who are found to be harassing or bullying others will be subject to severe
disciplinary action and may lose the opportunity to remain at Barry Tech.
Student Guidelines
Student Automobiles and Parking
Students with valid driver’s licenses may be eligible to drive to school and park
on school grounds. On-campus parking is limited to senior students with senior
licenses, who need access to their vehicles for after-school employment. Applications
for on-campus parking permits require authorization from a parent/guardian and
a home school administrator. A permit is for the driver of the car only and not for
passengers. Students who are eligible to receive a parking permit will need to attend
a senior parking permit meeting. A permit will only be issued after the student has
attended the driving safety meetings.
The meetings will take place on:
September 24, 2012 March 11, 2013
Please Note: Misuse of driving privileges may lead to revocation of the
parking permit.
Digital Technology
IPODS, MP3 Players, Laser Pointers, Toys and Similar Recording or
Electronic Equipment
Students are to leave these items at home. The school will not be responsible
for loss or theft. Because these items are so easily lost, we recommend you
  •  23 
www.barrytech.org
do not bring them to school. Faculty/staff are authorized to confiscate these
items and give to the administration when used in the classroom without
teacher permission. The administration has the discretion to hold these
items for a period of time deemed appropriate, and/or for parents to pick up.
Cell Phones
Cell phones CAN DETRACT FROM SCHOOL SAFETY AND CRISIS PREPAREDNESS!
A. The Nassau BOCES Board has adopted the policy for cell phone use within our
schools. Although they recognize the educational applications of these personal
devices, they shall be allowed to be used in classrooms only when they are
included as a part of a lesson under the direction of the classroom teacher. Cellular
phones, pagers, 2-way communication systems and other personal electronic
devices can cause a disruption to the educational process.
To prevent such disruptions, the display and use by students of electronic devices
shall be prohibited from the time class begins until the end of the school day.
Nassau BOCES is not responsible for stolen, lost or damaged personal
electronic devices.
Misuse of any of these electronic devices shall result in its confiscation. Some uses
of personal electronic devices constitute violation of the Nassau BOCES code of
conduct and in some instances, the law.
B. Students are prohibited from making any electronic or digital video or audio
recordings of another student or adult in school unless it is specifically related
to the instructional program or assigned by program teacher or school
official. Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action and/or police
intervention.
Acceptable Use of Technology
and Internet Use
All students are required to read and sign the Nassau BOCES Parental Consent and
Student Agreement titled “Use of Computerized Information Resources” and agree
to its terms and provisions. Any violation of this policy will result in disciplinary
consequences within the discipline policy guidelines of the Barry Tech Student Success
Guide and Social Contract. In addition to the general provision of this policy, students
must also be aware of the following:
• No food or drinks are permitted by the computers.
• You may not perform any repairs to school computers.
• Do not give your user ID and password to anyone except the Technology
Department.
• Do not make any changes to the computer settings. This includes
background, screensaver, desktop settings, etc.
• Notify your teacher immediately if there is a problem with your
computer.
• Do not mark and deface the computers.
www.barrytech.org
•
•
•
•
When using the Internet, only go to sites approved by your teacher and only
at the designated times.
If you are not sure about something concerning the computer, ASK first,
and use common sense.
You may not connect any personal digital or audio technology to school
property.
Do not remove any school-owned equipment from the building without
written permission from building administration.
Visitors
All high school students wishing to visit Barry Tech must make arrangements for
specific visiting dates through their home school guidance departments.
Barry Tech students must have their teacher and administration’s approval before
bringing visitors to class. Visitors will not be permitted into Barry Tech classes without
prior authorization from the home district.
All visitors must report to the reception desk in the main lobby, sign in, and be issued
a visitor’s pass which must be displayed at all times. The pass must be returned to the
reception desk, and the visitor must sign out at the conclusion of the visit.
Persons who are not students or staff must report immediately to the school office
when they enter the school building.
Parents are encouraged to visit teachers, guidance counselors, school nurses, school
psychologists and other staff personnel to discuss any problems or concerns the parent
may have regarding the student, whether or not school-related. An appointment should
be made to ensure that the staff member is available.
Care of School Property by Students
You must show respect and care for Barry Tech school property. Any damage to
property, including books and equipment, should be reported to the main office or
to your teacher.
Students who willfully destroy, damage or deface school property or who do not return
books, tools or equipment shall be subject to disciplinary action. Your parent(s)
or guardian may be required to pay Nassau BOCES for the value of the damaged
property up to the limit of the law.
Student Conduct on School Buses
The Barry Tech Center and your home high school are concerned that the bus ride
to and from school is safe. The following rules must be observed:
1. Keep all noise at a low level;
2. Keep hands, feet and all possessions to yourself;
3. Obey the bus driver; and
4. Remain seated until the driver gives permission for you to leave.
  •  25 
www.barrytech.org
Discipline problems will be referred in writing by the bus driver to the building
principal. The penalty for continued misbehavior may range from suspension from
riding the bus to suspension from Barry Tech. All home high school rules apply
while students are riding the buses. All students riding school buses are expected to
maintain good conduct while traveling.
Discipline of Students
with Disabilities
Nassau BOCES Board recognizes that it may be necessary to suspend, remove or
otherwise discipline students with disabilities to address disruptive or problem
behavior. The board also recognizes that students with disabilities have certain
procedural protections whenever school authorities intend to impose discipline
upon them. The board is committed to ensuring that the procedures followed
for suspending, removing or otherwise disciplining students with disabilities are
consistent with the procedural safeguards required by applicable laws and regulations
including manifestation determination hearings.
This code of conduct affords students with disabilities subject to disciplinary action
no greater or lesser rights than those expressly afforded by applicable federal and
state law and regulations.
Manifestation Determinations
The Manifestation Team must review all relevant information in the student’s file,
including the student’s IEP, any teacher observations, and any relevant information
provided by the parents to determine if the conduct in question was caused by, or
had a direct and substantial relationship to, the student’s disability; or if the conduct
in question was the direct result of the school district’s failure to implement the IEP.
