GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Shelbyville High School holds a first-class continuous commission from the State Board of Education for grades
nine through twelve. This means that the school satisfactorily meets the standards prescribed by the State Board
of Education and that the course of study and character of the work done entitles students to the rights and
privileges provided by the statutes of Indiana and the rules of the State Board of Commissioned High Schools.
ARRIVAL/DEPARTURES
Students choosing to walk or ride to school are expected to time their arrival so they can enter the
building when they get to school. Under no circumstances are students to loiter outside the building or
in the parking lot before or after school.
Students riding the buses are to remain in the bus until 7:15 A.M. upon arrival to school or upon dismissal by
the bus driver. In the afternoon students are expected to remain behind the yellow lines on the curb when
boarding the bus, wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and for the driver to signal them to board.
Student drop off and pick up areas are at Gate 1 only.
Once reporting to the building, students are to remain in the building until afternoon dismissal or until
they receive permission from an administrator to leave. The school grounds and parking lot are off limits
during the school day without permission from an administrator.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
ATTENDANCE MISSION STATEMENT: Daily attendance and promptness are essential work skills for the success of our students, both in and out of school. Shelbyville High School, therefore, expects daily attendance from
all students. Parents/guardians and students must assume the responsibility of maintaining good attendance.
Because the faculty at Shelbyville High School believes that regular attendance is important, the following
attendance rules have been adopted for students in order to meet credit requirements:
instructional day:
The instructional day begins at 8:35 am and ends at 3:30 pm, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Fridays. The instructional day begins at 8:35 am and ends at 3:00 pm on Wednesdays except in the
event that there is a 2-hour weather delay. In that case, school will dismiss at 3:30 pm. For a complete
listing of the SHS bell schedule, please visit the school Website at wwwshelbycs.org
Attendance reporting procedures:
• When a student must be absent from school, the parent/guardian must call the Attendance office at
Shelbyville High School at 398-9731, Extension 2002 and verify the absence by 10:00 AM on the
day of absence. Parent/guardians will receive an automated phone call each school-day informing
them the school has not received an excuse for their student’s absence.
• Parents who have no phone should communicate by a handwritten note, which must accompany
the student upon his/her return to school.
• If no contact is made with the parent on the day of the absence, then the unverified absence will
be treated as unexcused. Students have twenty-four hours upon returning to school to change
an unverified absence to an excused absence with parental notification and/or documentation.
Administrative discretion may be used in determining the change of an unexcused absence.
• Students who arrive to school late (1st period) up to 30 minutes will be considered tardy. After 30
minutes, they will be considered absent.
• Students will be considered “present” for class if they attend any portion of that class, periods 2-7.
Excused absences that count toward the ten-day limit are defined as:
Personal illness, parent requested funeral attendance for individual other than immediate family, medical
or dental appointments, emergency situation, family vacations, and religious holidays are considered
excused absences that count toward the student’s ten-day limit.
Pre-arranged College Visits
Juniors and Seniors are allowed to have 2 college visits per year without affecting their attendance.
Forms are available in the student office and MUST be signed by a parent and administrator and given
to the student office PRIOR to the visit in order for the absence to be forgiven.
5
Pre-arranged Absence Forms
When family circumstances will cause a student to miss school for an extended period of time, and the
absences are known ahead of time, a pre-arranged absence form needs to be obtained from the student
office. Prior to the date of the absences, the student must get signatures from their teachers, parent and
administrator. This form then needs to be submitted to the student office.
Excused absences that do not count toward the ten-day limit are
defined as:
Authorized absences such as school-sponsored activities; death in the immediate family; (parent, guardian, grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling, child, mother or father-in-law, or other relative that lives in the
household) college visits; serving as a Page for the Indiana General Assembly; subpoenas to appear
in court; jury duty; helpers to city, special, or primary elections; students ordered to duty with Indiana
National Guard with the proper verification.
Unexcused absences
•
•
•
•
Absences for reasons other than those specified above.
Absences in which a parent or guardian has not verified the absence within 24-hours of the absence.
Absences that go beyond the ten-day limit and are not excused by proper documentation
Suspensions will be counted as an unexcused absence, but do not count toward the student’s 10-day
total.
• When a student’s absence is classified as unexcused or truant, credit for any missed assignments
credit may be earned for work completed during a teacher-assigned or admininstrative detention.
Excessive absenteeism
Excessive absenteeism is defined as absences that accumulate to more than 10 days per semester in a class.
• After totaling excessive absences (10 days) within each semester, administrators will conference with the
student. That student may be placed on an attendance contract. Parents will be notified concerning the
contract and the excessive absences. All future absences will require proper documentation (for example,
a doctor statement.) Unverified/unexcused absences beyond 10 (each semester) without proper documentation may result is no class credits being earned for day(s) which the student was absent.
• Student absences beyond 10 days without proper documentation can be considered unexcused.
Administrative discretion may be used in determining the change of an unexcused absence.
• At the end of each semester, if a student has missed more than 10 days in a class, Administration
will review the student’s record to determine whether the student should receive credit for that class.
Either a phone call will be made to home or a letter will be sent home near the end of each semester
notifying parents that their student has exceeded the 10-day limit. Administration will determine the
appropriate actions to take after the ten-day limit has been exceeded.
• Students who are at the ten-day limit may make up days by attending assigned detentions. One
served detention would be equivalent to one school hour earned. Attending these detentions will
earn the student additional consideration when the Attendance Committee meets at the end of the
semester to decide whether credit is awarded.
• Administration reserves the right to alter the class schedules of any student who is habitually truant,
habitually willfully absent, excessively absent, or chronically absent. Actions taken can include
changing a student’s placement to an alternative setting upon notification and conferencing with
that student’s parent/guardian.
Truancy and/or willful absence from school
Truancy is defined as an absence from school that is without the consent of the parents, guardians,
and/or the school. If a student is truant from school or is willfully absent from school (the student’s
own choice) then the following consequences will be enforced:
1st time – (In-School-Suspension): 1 day of ISS for each full or partial day of truancy or willful absence
2nd time – 2 days of ISS for each full or partial day of truancy or willful absence
3rd time – 3 days of ISS for each full or partial day of truancy or willful absence
4th time – Student’s daily schedule may be changed or student may be placed in an alternative
school setting for the completion of that semester
6
Habitual Truant
Legal Reference: I.C. 20-33-2-11
• A "habitual truant" is defined as a student who has eleven (11) or more days of unexcused absences
in one school year.
• All students who are at least thirteen (13) years of age but less than the age of fifteen (15) years, and
who are determined to be a habitual truant per the definition above, are subject to Indiana Code 20-332-11, which provides that any person who is determined to be a habitual truant as defined by school
board policy cannot be issued an operator's license or learner's permit until the age of 18 years, or
until the student’s attendance record has improved as determined by the school board upon review of
the student's record.
• Procedures developed for the administration of this law, shall include provisions for periodic review
of all students determined to be habitual truants, and their reclassification, when warranted. These
procedures will be developed by the Superintendent or his/her designee.
Special circumstances
• Extended illness (3 or more consecutive school days): Only the first day of the illness will count
toward the 10-day limit. The excused absence must be documented by a physician’s statement
indicating that the student was unable to attend school due to the illness. Failure to produce the
physician’s statement in the required time will result in all days missed being counted toward the 10
day limit. A student may use the extended illness exemption once per semester.
• Parents should inform the main office of 3 days or more extended absences. Because most courses
now have Web-based components parents should consult teacher Websites for calendars and
downloadable assignments before requesting homework through the office.
• Students must be in class the last four periods of a school day to be allowed to participate in extracurricular activities that same day. Emergencies will be handled on an individual basis.
Policy Waiver: The principal or his/her designee shall determine exceptions to the Shelbyville High
School Attendance Policy and procedures due to extensive illness, hospitalization, or other extenuating
circumstances.
General Attendance Guidelines:
1. Every effort should be made to schedule medical, dental or other such appointments outside the
regular school day. Such appointments, which result in an absence for one or more periods, will
count toward the ten-day limit.
2. Families should plan their vacations at times when school is not in session to avoid student absences.
School days missed because of vacations will count toward the ten-day limit.
Tardy Guidelines:
When students are tardy to school, they shall report to the attendance office secretary in the main
office for a pass. Students tardy to a class (other than 1st hour) shall report directly to their assigned
class as usual. The teacher shall monitor student tardiness to the class. Administration will monitor 1st
period tardies, including discretion for tardies 1-5 during period 1. Administration may assign alternative
consequences for habitual tardiness.
• Tardies 1 thru 5 – teacher’s discretion
• Tardies 6 -8 – Lunch Detention or Administrative After-School Detention
• Tardies 9-10 – Administrative After-School Detention
• Tardy 11 –12 ISS for 1 day
• Tardy 13+ – ISS for 3-5 days
• At Tardy 12 – Loss of hallway passing privileges, loss of driving privileges, and possible removal
from class with loss of credit. If a student is carrying less than 5 academic classes or, if tardiness
continues then an alternative academic placement may be recommended.

Make-up work policy
Teacher’s Role –
• Teachers should keep accurate records of students’ absences and whether these absences are
classified as excused or unexcused.
• When a student’s absence is classified as excused, the student will be allowed to make up all missed
work, tests, quizzes, or projects. Students should be given one day per excused absence to make
up work, tests, quizzes, or projects. At a teacher’s discretion, this deadline may be extended.
• Teachers will need to make any in-class missed work (videos, class notes, etc.,) available to students
when the students’ absences are excused.
• When a student’s absence is classified as unexcused, or truant, the student may be given credit for
missed work, tests, quizzes, or projects if that work is completed during a detention time.
Student’s Role –
• Students must be responsible for collecting missed work. Students must make the effort to collect
work through reliable classmates and teachers. Additionally, it is the student’s responsibility to
understand that he/she will have one day per excused absence to make up the work.
• Students must be responsible to turn in work or take tests/quizzes upon their return to school if the
work or test/quiz was assigned before their absence.
• When a student’s absence is an approved pre-arranged absence, it is the student’s responsibility to
get assignments from teachers and to meet deadlines for turning in assignments / projects or taking
tests / quizzes.
• When a student’s absence is classified as unexcused, or truant, the student may be given credit for
missed work, tests, quizzes, or projects if that work is completed during a detention time.
Perfect Attendance:
Perfect attendance is defined as not being absent from school or tardy to school. Students who qualify for perfect
attendance are students who have not missed any portion of any school day other than for those absences that
do not count towards the 10-day absent limit. (See attendance policy for a list of those absences.) Students who
have perfect attendance will receive special recognition during the school year and a certificate at an Honors
Program. A SENIOR with perfect attendance for four years will receive a plaque at the Senior Honors Program.

Students within the Shelbyville Schools Corporation are expected to maintain a high standard of personal
conduct. All students are expected to follow the building, classroom, cafeteria, school grounds and bus

expelled from school, the following procedures will be followed:
1. The superintendent (or designee) may conduct an expulsion meeting, or may appoint one of the
following persons to conduct the expulsion meeting:
a. legal counsel
b. a member of the administrative staff who did not expel the student and was not involved in the
events giving rise to the expulsion.
2. An expulsion will not take place until the student and the student’s parents are asked to appear at
an expulsion meeting conducted by the superintendent or the person designated above. Failure by
a student or a student’s parent to appear at this meeting will be deemed a waiver of rights administratively to contest the expulsion or appeal it to the school board.
3. The request to appear at the expulsion meeting will be in writing, delivered by certified mail or by
personal delivery, and contain the reasons for the expulsion and the date, time, place and purpose
of the meeting.

against the student. The student or parent will have the opportunity to answer the charges against
the student, and to present evidence to support the student’s position.

summary of the evidence heard at the meeting, take any action found to be appropriate and give
notice of the action taken to the student and the student’s parent. The student or parent has the
right to appeal the decision of the person conducting the expulsion meeting to the school board
within ten (10) days of the receipt of notice of the action taken. The student or parent appeal to the
school board must be in writing. If an appeal is properly made, the board must consider the appeal
unless the board votes not to hear the appeal. If the board hears the appeal, it will consider the
written summary of the expulsion meeting and the arguments of both the school administration and
the student and/or the student’s parent. The board will then take any action deemed appropriate.
Suspension procedures:
When a principal (or designee) determines that a student should be suspended, the following procedures
will be followed:
1. A meeting will be held prior to the suspension of any student. At this meeting the student will be
entitled to:
a. a written or oral statement of the charges;
b. if the student denies the charges, a summary of the evidence against the student will be presented
the student will be provided an opportunity to explain his or her conduct
2. The meeting shall precede suspension of the student except where the nature of the misconduct
required immediate removal. In such situations, the meeting will follow the suspension as soon as
reasonably possible following the date of the suspension.
3. Following the suspension, the parents or guardians of suspended students will be notified in writing.
The notification will include the dates of the suspension; describe the student’s misconduct, and the
action taken by the principal.

• All lockers and desks made available for individual use on the school premises, such as lockers
and desks located in the hallways, physical education and athletic dressing rooms or classrooms
and offices are the property of the Shelbyville Central Schools. These lockers and desks are made
available for individual use in storing school supplies, equipment and personal items necessary

or control of the locker and/or desk. The school corporation retains the right to inspect the locker or
desk and its contents to insure that the locker or desk is being used in accordance with its intended
purpose, to eliminate fire or other hazards, to maintain conditions, to attempt to locate lost or stolen
materials, and to prevent the use of lockers to store prohibited or dangerous materials such as illegal
drugs, alcohol, weapons, or educationally disruptive materials.
• A student who uses a locker or desk that is the property of the Shelbyville Central Schools is presumed
to have no expectation of the privacy in that locker’s or desk’s content. (I.C. 20-33-8-32)

Criminal ORGANIZATION Activity:
Shelbyville High School and Shelbyville Central Schools have established a written policy to address
criminal organizations and criminal organizational activity in schools, in compliance with Indiana Code
20-26-18. This policy can found at the corporation Website www.shelbycs.org
STUDENT DRESS AND APPEARANCE
The SCS dress code is designed as a guide for students and parents in determining what is appropriate
for the school setting. The goal of the dress code is to maintain student comfort, to assure adequate health
and safety of the student, and to provide a standard of appropriate appearance in which a disruption to
the educational process is prevented. Student clothing and appearance should not draw undue attention
from other students and faculty or cause a disruption to the normal routine of the school day. The school
administration will make the final decision on the appropriateness of student dress and appearance.
1. Clothing which advertises, promotes or glorifies the use of alcohol, tobacco, illegal substances, or
gang affiliation is not permissible. Any item that contains writing, slogans, pictures or symbols that
might cause misunderstanding, or relay vulgar suggestion, is not permissible.
2. Length, fit and style of clothing must be worn so that there is no disruption to the school environment. 3. Articles of clothing intended for use as undergarments should not be visible at any time.
4. No sleeveless shirts, dresses, blouses, etc. are to be worn to school.
5. Hats, bandannas, hoods and other types of headwear are not to be worn in the school building.
6. Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times.
7. Pajamas, pajama pants and house shoes are not appropriate school attire and should not be worn.
8. Jackets worn to school should be kept in the student’s locker throughout the school day.
If a student is deemed to be in violation of the dress code, then arrangements will be made for a change
in clothing and consequences will be assigned from the discipline chart.
Student driving
Any student who drives to school must register their vehicles in the office and register to be a part of the
random drug-testing program. Students will receive a copy of the driving regulations upon registration.
Driving privileges can be revoked for attendance, disciplinary, or academic reasons.
Blue River Career Programs Driving
SHS/BRCP students may drive directly to BRCP for their assigned sessions (a.m. or p.m.) and, may drive
directly to SHS at the completion of their BRCP session. To be eligible, students must a) be registered
with the high school and BRCP offices and b) have prior administrative approval.
CELL PHONE USAGE CONTENT AND DISPLAY
Students may use cell phones before school, after school, in the SHS cafeteria during their lunch time,
and in the classroom when directed or allowed to by the supervising teacher as part of the “Bring Your
Own Technology” school policy. Shelbyville High School administration encourages the responsible use
of individual electronic devices in the classroom as part of the overall effort to incorporate technology
into the curriculum. Possession of an electronic device/cell phone in the classroom is not a violation
however unauthorized use of cell phones may result in the confiscation of the phone with disciplinary
consequences assigned. Teachers may request that students put away their electronic devices during
instructional time. Should a student not comply with the request, teachers will not confiscate the device
but that student may be asked to report to the office with the device. Failure to put the device away during
instruction or failure to report to the office will be considered insubordination to the teacher’s directive.
Parent/guardian may be required to pick up confiscated cell phone at school. Repeated cell phone policy
violations will result in level 2 disciplinary actions being taken at the administration’s discretion. The use
of cell phones for camera, video, or pictures while on school property is prohibited without appropriate
permission and may result in disciplinary action.
Because student cell phones have been found in a number of Indiana school districts to have contained
evidence of “sexual conduct” as defined below, it is important for parents and students to be aware of
the legal consequences should this occur in the Shelbyville Central School Corporation.
17
The Child Abuse/Neglect Law requires school personnel to report to law enforcement or child protective
services whenever there is reason to believe that any person/student is involved with “child exploitation”
or “child pornography” as defined by Indiana Criminal Statutes.

photograph or create a digitalized image of any incident that includes “sexual conduct” by a child under
the age of 18; or (2) to disseminate, exhibit to another person, or offer to so disseminate or exhibit, matter
that depicts or describes “sexual conduct” by a child under the age of 18.

delinquent for violating the Child Exploitation Statute at I.C. 35-42-4-4(b) to register as a sex offender.
“Sexting” is defined as the taking, disseminating, transferring or sharing of obscene, pornographic, lewd or
illegal images or photographs, whether by electronic data transfer or otherwise (commonly called texting,
emailing or sexting). Such conduct may constitute a crime under federal and/or state law.
Any student taking, disseminating or sharing obscene, pornographic, lewd or illegal images or photographs
may be disciplined under the student discipline code of conduct and will be reported to law enforcement
and/or other appropriate state or federal agencies if required by law. Such conduct engaged in by a
student may result in arrest, criminal prosecution and inclusion on sex offender registries.

Student Harassment
Harassment of student(s) by other students or any member of the staff is contrary to the Shelbyville
Central Schools’ commitment to provide a physically and emotionally safe environment in which to learn,
and may be a violation of federal and state law.
Sexual harassment is any unwelcome verbal or physical contact, which may have a sexual connotation
and creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive learning environment. Students are to report any incidence
of harassing behavior from a fellow student, staff member, or school visitor. Reports may be made to
any school personnel the student feels comfortable talking with. If the student feels that appropriate
action has not been taken, the student should contact the building principal.
Care will be taken to protect the reporting student from future embarrassment or intimidation. All reports
are to be investigated promptly.

ANTI-BULLY PROVISIONs
Shelbyville High School is committed to a safe and civil educational environment for all students,
employees, volunteers and patrons, free from bullying of all forms.
Bullying
“Bullying” (per IC 20-33-8-.2) means overt, unwanted, repeated acts or gestures, including verbal, written, or electronic communications or images transmitted in any manner (including digitally or electronically),
physical acts committed, aggression, or any other behaviors, that are committed by a student or group
of students against another student with the intent to harass, ridicule, humiliate, intimidate, or harm the
other targeted student and create for the targeted student an objectively hostile school environment that:
(1) places the targeted student in reasonable fear of harm to the targeted student’s person or property;
(2) has a substantially detrimental effect on the targeted student’s physical or mental health;
(3) has the effect of substantially interfering with the targeted student’s academic performance; or
(4) has the effect of substantially interfering with the targeted student’s ability to participate in or benefit
from the services, activities, and privileges provided by the school.
Bullying fosters a climate of fear and disrespect that can seriously impair the physical and psychological
health of its victims and create conditions that negatively affect learning. Bullying includes unwanted,
aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has
the potential to be repeated, over time. The imbalance of power involves the use of physical strength, or
popularity to access embarrassing information to control or harm others. Bullying can occur anywhere
(in-school or outside of school) and at any time – both during and after school hours. Bullying can
include physical bullying, verbal bullying, social/relational bullying, and electronic/written communication. Shelbyville High School administration is obligated to investigate out-of-school incidents, including
online/cyber incidents, if those actions meet the definition of bullying as outline in this section, and if
appropriate, assign consequences.
1. This rule applies when a student is:
• On school grounds immediately before or during school hours, immediately after school hours or
at any other time when the school is being used by a school group (including summer school);
• Off school grounds at a school activity, function, or event;
• Traveling to or from school or a school activity, function, or event;
• Using property or equipment provided by the school; or
• Using data or computer software that is accessed through any computer, computer system, or
computer network.
19
2. Bullying by a student or groups of students against another student with the intent to harass, ridicule,
humiliate, intimidate, or harm the other student through overt, repeated acts or gestures, including
verbal, written, or electronic communications transmitted, and/or physical acts committed, or any
other similar behavior is prohibited.
3. Parents or students who suspect that repeated acts of bullying are taking place should report the
matter to the school principal or designee. School personnel will investigate all reports of bullying.
4. Counseling, corrective discipline, and/or referral to law enforcement will be used to change the
behavior of the perpetrator. This includes appropriate intervention(s), restoration of a positive climate,
and support for victims and others impacted by the violation.
5. Educational outreach and training will be provided to school personnel, parents, and students
concerning the identification, prevention, and intervention in bullying.
6. All schools in the corporation are encouraged to engage students, staff and parents in meaningful
discussions about the negative aspects of bullying. The parent involvement may be through parent
organizations already in place in each school.
Anyone who believes that a student has possibly been, or is the victim of bullying is encouraged to
immediately report the situation to an appropriate staff member such as a teacher, school counselor,
or administrator.
FALSE REPORTING OF ALLEGED BULLYING INCIDENTS
False reporting of bullying and harassment is a serious issue. Alleged incidents must meet the legal
definition as outlined in the previous section. False accusations are subject to suspension and/or expulsion (From handbook section “Grounds for Suspension or Expulsion.”)
1. Failing to completely and truthfully respond to questions form a staff member regarding school-related
matters including Potential violations of the student conduct rules or state or federal law.

or physical restraint. Schools shall employ the use of prevention, positive behavior intervention and
support, and conflict de-escalation before the use of any seclusion or restraint.
5. Physical seclusion or restraint shall not be used except when used as a last resort in situations where
the child’s behavior poses imminent danger of serious physical harm to self or others and other less

Resolving Differences at School
When experiencing differences between the home and school, a student and/or parent is strongly encouraged to contact their teacher, or coach to discuss the situation and see the other person’s point of view.
This reflects the intent of the school board. If the difficulty is not resolved with the teacher or coach,
the student and/or parent should then contact the principal or assistant principal of the building. If the
difficulty is not resolved, the student and/or parent should then contact the superintendent of schools.
If the difficulty is not resolved the student and/or parent should then contact the superintendent’s office
and ask to be placed on the agenda of the next school board meeting.
School Tipline
Are you aware of a situation that could harm you or someone at your school? Talk about it anonymously
with your school using the SHS tipline. Please visit the school Website at www.shelbycs.org for a link
to access the Website. Instructions for texting to the tipline can be found there as well.
BUS CONDUCT AND SAFETY RULES
The Bus Conduct and Safety Rules are designed to promote safety on the school bus at all times. The
safety of all students is our top priority. Therefore, each student is expected to cooperate fully by always
obeying the rules.
The authority of the bus driver, who is in charge of the bus, will be recognized and supported by all. For
everyone’s safety, the bus driver must be heard, be able to hear traffic sounds such as sirens, and be
obeyed by students quickly and efficiently.
School bus transportation is a privilege and is not guaranteed to you by law. If a student chooses to
disobey or violate any of the safety and conduct rules, transportation services may be taken away. If
transportation privileges are denied, the parents or guardians are responsible for getting the student to
and from school.
Students should be aware that all school rules apply at the bus stop or on the bus.
Transportation General Policy
It is the intentions of the Shelbyville Central School to comply with all local, state and federal laws which
are applicable.
Any statutes, rules or regulations now in effect in the State of Indiana or to come in effect during the
term of this policy or regulations shall supersede the provisions herein. The Shelbyville Central Schools
recognizes the rights and dignity of each individual and will provide equal employment opportunities
without regard to race, religion, national origin, age or sex.
Thank you for doing your part for safety’s sake. When you obey the rules you keep the privilege of riding
the bus and it is a safer ride for everyone. When you disobey the rules you could cause an accident and
you could be denied the use of the school bus to get to and from school.

EXTRACURRICULAR PARTICIPATION
Participation
Participation in high school extracurricular activities is a privilege, which carries with it varying

Conduct established by the extracurricular committee approved by the Shelbyville Central School
Board. The head coach/sponsor at the start of the season will conduct a parent meeting and go
over extracurricular expectations. It is the student-athlete’s duty to conduct him/her in a manner that
is becoming to the student-athlete, his/her family, Shelbyville High School and community. Please
refer to the Athletic Handbook for Student Athletics when needing information and guidelines for
IHSAA rules and competition in athletics at Shelbyville High School. Handbooks are available in
the athletic office at Shelbyville High School.

random sampling provided herein. Shelbyville Central also reserves the right to request the parent of
any student who exhibits cause for reasonable suspicion of drug and/or alcohol usage to permit testing,
or deny drug testing to a student and follow current practices as outlined in the Due Process Procedures.
Drug Use Prevention
The School Board recognizes that the misuse of drugs is a serious problem with legal, physical and
social implications for the entire school community.
For purposes of this policy, “drugs” shall mean:
1. All dangerous controlled substances as so designated and prohibited by Indiana statute;
2. All alcoholic beverages;

Achievable Goals, Boundaries, and Limits of the Program
This education and testing program is intended as a helpful part of the overall physical and mental
educational programs of the Shelbyville Central Schools. It is intended as a medical diagnostic aid in
disclosing possible drug-related problems and as an extension of our educational substances abuse
programs. Continuing substance abuse obviously is inconsistent with participation in school and the
program includes appropriate procedures for dealing with any such problems. Additionally, students can
voluntarily and confidentially report personally observed drug transactions. The curriculum will cover all
grade levels and teach and reinforce the substance abuse free schools’ message.
School and Community Partnership
The elimination of drug and alcohol abuse is the goal of this program. Considering the established
need to identify effective alternatives to address the substance abuse more effectively, the problem at
Shelbyville Central needs to be comprehensively addressed in order to insure the health and the safety
of our students. A substance-abuse free environment must be the stated goal of the Corporation, and
the support and cooperation of the entire community is essential if the goal is to be realized.
Obligation to Govern the Medical Condition of Students
Indiana Code 20-8.1-7 sets out health measures to be governed by school officials. Most specifically, IC
20-8.1-7-2 establishes the responsibility of schools to assist children found to be ill or in need of treatment.
26
Use Made of Results
The PURPOSE of this program is to IDENTIFY A STUDENT WITH DRUG RESIDUES IN HIS/HER
BODY, TO PROVIDE NOTIFICATION TO THE CUSTODIAL PARENT(s)/GUARDIAN(s), AND TO EDUCATE, HELP AND DIRECT STUDENTS AWAY FROM DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE AND TOWARD
A HEALTHY, SAFE, AND DRUG FREE PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES.
A toxicology firm selected by the School Board will be used to conduct the testing and to provide the
training for those who will supervise the program.
In the event that the student tests positive he/she, along with the custodial parent (s) guardian (s), will
meet with an administrator. During this meeting the positive testing will be reported to the student and
parent(s)/guardian(s). The student and the parent (s)/guardian(s) will be told the consequences for their
student having tested positive.
Procedure
Students in grades 9 through 12 and his/her parent or guardian must sign a drug testing waiver form for
the student to be eligible to participate in any one (1) or combination of the following:
A. On a voluntary basis.
B. Drive a car to school.
C. All extra-curricular activities including athletics, cheerleaders (female/male), student managers,
band members, majorettes, choir members, variety show participants, May Festival participants,
student council members, academic team members, Homecoming Court members, Prom Court
members, May Court members, and members of the other school sanctioned clubs. These rules
are in effect at any time of the entire year even though the individual(s) may not be participating in
an extra-curricular activity at the time of the violation.
All of these activities require that a student be at his/her best and chemical-free in order to provide a
safe environment not only for themselves, but also for other students who potentially could be affected.
A specimen, through either urine test or oral fluid drug test, will be given on site and will involve supervision by an assistant principal and the school nurse.
The test result will remain confidential. Only the principal, the assistant principals, and the school
corporation nurse will know the results.
If the student tests positive, he/she, along with the parent(s), will meet with the principal or assistant
principal. During this meeting the administrator will explain to the student and the parent(s)/guardian(s)
that the student will be penalized according to the Extra-Curricular Participation rules described in the
High School Student Handbook. The administrator will encourage the parent(s)/guardian(s) to seek
professional help for the student.
Chain of Custody
A. A school administrator will escort the student to the testing site. The student should bring all materials with him/her to the test site and should not be allowed to go to his/her locker before entering the
testing area.
B. Once at the testing site, the student must sign in and, as soon as called by the nurse, provide a urine
or oral fluid specimen.
C. The nurse will give each student being tested a collection device. The student will sign a verification
form indicating the collection device is untainted. The collection device will remain in the student’s
possession until the nurse places a seal upon the collection device. The seal may be broken or
opened by only the lab testing the specimen.
D. If the seal is tampered with or broken, after leaving the student’s possession and prior to arriving at
the lab, the specimen is invalid. The student will be tested again as soon as possible. The student
will remain eligible until tested positive.
E. The specimen will be sent to the testing laboratory.. The testing laboratory will report the results to
the principal.
27
Penalties:
1. First violation - The first violation will result in suspension from not less than 20% of the scheduled
activities for the extra-curricular activity following the violation.
2. Second violation - The second violation will result in suspension from 50% of the scheduled activities
for the extra-curricular activity following the violation.
For both the first and second major violation the following will be in effect:
a. Suspensions will include driving to school
b. Summer school does not count in the suspension
c. Suspension begins immediately after an administrator has informed the student of the violation.
d. If the violation is for the use of illegal substances (excluding nicotine) the student will be required
to attend a school approved counseling program. The program must be approved in advance
and paid for by the parents/guardians. The student must also provide the school with a negative
drug screen from an approved lab and the drug screen will also be at the expense for the parent/
guardian. Both of these items must be turned in to the school before the student is allowed to
return to any extra-curricular activities.
e. A student, who is guilty of a first or second major violation, must try out for the team before the
first scheduled activity in order to apply the suspensions for that sport.
f. If the 20% or 50% suspension cannot be fulfilled during the current extra-curricular activity due
to the activity ending, the suspension will carry over into the next activity in which the student
chooses to participate.
3. Third violation - The third violation will result in permanent expulsion from all extracurricular
activities previously stated for the remainder of the high school career. However, a student may
request reinstatement after 365 days by appealing to the principal and appropriate sponsor or
sponsors.
Positive Test Results and Appeal
In the event a student tests positive, he/she, along with the parent(s)/guardian(s), will meet with the school
administrator. During this meeting the positive testing will be reported to the student and the parent(s)/
guardian(s). The student and the parent(s)/guardian(s) will also be told that a restriction from driving to
and from school and participation in the extra-curricular activities previously listed. The severity of the
penalty will be in accordance with the Extracurricular Code. The student will be tested at the end of the
restriction from activities at the cost of the parent(s)/guardian(s).
The student or his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) may appeal by requesting that the urine sample be tested
again by the lab at a cost to the student or his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) (if the student tests positive again).
Multiple positive results from testing are indicative of continued substance use and will mean that the
student will be referred for professional evaluation paid by the parent(s)/guardian(s). The student will not
be allowed to return to the restricted program(s) until professional evaluation and treatments are completed and another drug test, at the parent(s)/guardian(s) expense, indicates that the student is drug free.
Test Results Reporting Procedure
The program seeks to provide needed help for students who test “positive.” The school will also administer
discipline in accordance with the School Board policy. The “safety factor” will be the primary reason for
restricting students from participating in activities.
In this program, the Shelbyville High School administration will be notified by the testing lab of a student
testing “positive,” and the administrator will notify the parent(s)/guardian(s) and the student (in person).
The meeting will occur in the administrator’s school building/office. The administrator will provide the
parent(s)/guardian(s) with the names of agencies that can be of help to the student. The administrator
will notify the student and parent(s)/guardian(s) of any disciplinary action, based on the policies/procedures as outlined in the Shelbyville High School Student Handbook (The Beacon). Information on a
“positive” test result will only be shared on a “need-to-know” basis such as teachers, sponsors, coaches,
athletic director, etc. The result of a drug test that returns “negative” will be kept confidential to protect
the identity of all students being tested.
28
REASONABLE SUSPICION FOR TESTING & Student Reporting Procedures
School administrators may require a drug test for any student exhibiting symptoms or behaviors found
on the district-approved checklist for reasonable suspicion of substance abuse.
In the event that a student desires to report anonymously the personally observed use of drugs or other
chemical substances by another student, it is recommended that the following procedure be used.
A. The student may go to any guidance counselor with the concern.
B. If a guidance counselor is contacted, the counselor will contact the principal or assistant principal
with the reported information concerning personally-observed use of drugs or any other chemical
by another student.
C. The assistant principal will contact the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) with the information that was
observed personally by the student, and the assistant principal will recommend to the parent(s)/
guardian(s) that the student be tested through the Shelbyville Central Schools Drug Testing program.
The school will request a copy of the test results and, if the test results are “positive,” counseling
agencies will be recommended to help the student and the parent(s)/guardian(s) with treatment
alternatives. No penalty will be enforced when a student is reported anonymously.
OUR GOAL, WITH THE HELP OF THE PARENT(S)/GUARDIAN(S), STUDENTS AND THE SCHOOL
STAFF WORKING TOGETHER, IS THAT OUR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT BE DRUG-FREE.
Miscellaneous Drug Testing Information
Students involved in two or more activities at the time of the violation will be suspended from both activities.
The selection of students to be tested will be done randomly from time to time during the school year.
Each student will be assigned a number and that number will be placed in a box when testing is to occur.
The toxicology firm will draw the student numbers required for that testing.
No student will be given advance notice or early warning of the testing. In addition, a strict chain-ofcustody will be enforced to eliminate invalid tests or outside influences.
All students will remain under school supervision until they have produced an adequate specimen. For
a urine test, if they cannot produce a specimen, the student will be given one (1) eight (8) ounce glass
of water. If they still are unable to produce a specimen within two (2) hours, they will be taken to the
office and told that they are not longer eligible for the three (3) activities/privileges referred to earlier. In
addition, parents will be telephoned and informed that the student is being uncooperative in the testing
procedure and that he/she may be tested at a later date to be reinstated for eligibility.
All specimens registering below 90.5 degrees or above 99.80 degrees Fahrenheit will be invalid. There
is a heat strip on each of the specimen bottles indicating the validity of the urine sample by temperature.
If this occurs, the student must give another sample.
If it is proven that tampering or cheating has occurred during the testing, the student will become ineligible
for all the items previously listed for one calendar year. This will be reported to the parents.
Urine specimens that are found to be diluted will be judged invalid and the student will be re-tested as
soon as possible.
Immediately after the specimen is taken, the student may return to class with an admit slip or pass
with the time he/she left the testing area. The nurse or the administrator must time and sign the pass.

emergency situation, they may apply, to the principal for a waiver. The Shelbyville Board of Education,
upon the recommendation of the high school principal, will make the final determination.
Graduation Requirements
Students can find the requirements for all the different courses of study in the Shelbyville High
School Course Guide or online at www.shelbycs.org/hs/guidance/courseguide.htm
30
Graduation Requirements
It shall be the policy of the School Board to acknowledge each student’s successful completion of the
instructional program appropriate to the achievement of Corporation goals and objectives as well as
personal proficiency by the awarding of a diploma at fitting graduation ceremonies.
The Board shall award a regular high school diploma to every student enrolled in this Corporation who
meets the requirements of graduation established by this Board as provided by the State.
There shall be only one (1) diploma awarded by this Corporation and no distinctions shall be made
between various programs of instruction. Exceptions shall be made for students who meet the State
requirements for an Honors Diploma.
Special education students who properly complete the programs specified in their I.E.P. and have
received the recommendation of the Case Conference may participate in graduation activities and shall
be awarded either a diploma or a certificate of completion.
Commencement exercises will include those students who have successfully completed requirements for
graduation as certified by the high school principal. No student who has completed the requirements for
graduation shall be denied a diploma as a disciplinary measure. A student may be denied participation
in the ceremony of graduation when personal conduct so warrants.
Blue River Career Programs
Students attending Blue River Career Programs must normally be of a junior or senior class ranking.
Freshmen and sophomore students may be enrolled in selected programs provided that they meet the
eligibility criteria.
credit recovery program
Students who have attempted and failed a required course may be able to make up the course through
the credit recovery program in order to stay on track to graduate. This program may be available to
students under special circumstances with administrative approval.
• A maximum of 3 credits can be obtained per semester.
• Students will work independently on their coursework using the computer-based, self-paced software.
• Students will return to Study Hall upon completion of their credits; therefore, they are not allowed to
be scheduled in Study Hall and Credit Lab in the same semester without administrative approval.
Academic Recognition
Scholarships and Awards
Many awards and scholarships are offered by school and community organizations on an annual basis.
Students are encouraged to make themselves aware of these awards and scholarships by consulting
with their counselors and reviewing the scholarship lists on the school website.
Honor Roll
At the end of each nine weeks grading period and at the end of each semester, students who meet the
following requirements are placed on one of the following Honor Rolls:
1. Superior Honor Roll = No grade lower than an “A-” for the grading period
2. Honor Roll = No grade lower than a “B-” for the grading period
A grade of “B” or “C” in a weighted course is equivalent to an “A” or “B” in determining the honor roll.
TOP TEN AWARDS
Academic plaques will be presented annually to the ten highest academically ranked students in each
of the four classes.
Departmental Awards
Each curricular department of the high school will annually award a trophy to the outstanding student
in that department.
31
aCADEMIC LETTER FOR ACADEMIC TEAM MEMBERS
An academic letter will be granted to an Academic Team member who has earned 4 points based upon
the following point system:
• Participation in Spell Bowl (1 point per year)
• Participation in Quiz League (1 point per year)
• Participation in Academic Super Bowl (1 point per subject area per year)
• Captain of Quiz League or Academic Super Bowl Team (1 point)
• Score of 8 or 9 at HHC or Area Spell Bowl Competition (1 point)
• Team earns first place in the HHC (1 point)
• Team qualifies for state Spell Bowl or Super Bowl competition (1 point)
• Team wins a Quiz League tournament other than the HHC (1 point)
After the first letter is earned (after earning 4 points), students will be awarded one bar per year for
each successive year of participation. If an Academic Team member has received an academic “S” for
another reason, a second letter will not be issued; a bar will be granted instead. One letter will represent
all types of academic achievement.
Academic Letter “S”
An Academic Letter “S” will be awarded to those students who earn all “A’s” for the first semester and all
“A’s” (no “B’s”) for the first grading period of the second semester. **A grade of a “B” in an AP course is
the equivalent of an “A” on the school’s grading scale.** Members of the Academic Team and members
of the National Honor Society will also receive this award. The letter “S” will be presented to the student
the first time he/she achieves this honor. The student will receive additional academic pins if he/she
achieves a second or third honor.
VALEDICTORY AWARD
The Valedictory Award is presented annually to the senior having the highest four-year grade point average (calculated to the third decimal place) after eight semesters. Shelbyville High School will award
multiple Valedictory Awards should more than one student achieve the same grade point average when
calculated to the third decimal place. The recognition consists of a scholarship medal and the honor
of the recipient’s name being engraved on a plaque, which hangs on a wall near the main entrance of
Shelbyville High School.
SALUTATORY AWARD
The Salutatory Award is presented annually to the senior having the second highest four-year grade
point average (calculated to the third decimal place) after eight semesters. Shelbyville High School will
award multiple Salutatory Awards should more than one student achieve the same grade point average
when calculated to the third decimal place. The recognition consists of a scholarship medal and the
honor of the recipient’s name being engraved on a plaque, which hangs on a wall near the main entrance
of Shelbyville High School.
National Honor Society
Candidates for the National Honor Society will be selected by the following procedure:
1. The preliminary selection process will begin in the spring. Sophomores and Juniors with a 3.5
GPA accumulation (based on 4 semesters and 6 semesters respectively) and who have been
students at Shelbyville High School for a minimum of one (1) year will be notified of their academic eligibility. These standards must be maintained through graduation. Each of the eligible
candidates will receive a Student Activity Information Form. The candidate will list his/her high
school activities and office to date. School and community service will also be listed (community
service and/or activity will be verified by an adult connected with that activity). This activity form is
vital because the candidate’s service and leadership will be determined by the information listed.
Part of the selection process will include returning the form by the deadline listed. Since this will
be listed as part of the instructions, it will fulfill the character trait of responsibility. Candidates
should understand that these surveys are not application for membership, and that review of
information gathered does not guarantee selection. Students who fall below the required GPA of
3.5 will be put on probation for a six-week period. If the student fails to meet the required GPA a
second time, they will be dismissed from the National Honor Society.
32
2. Each faculty member will receive a confidential list of all students who are academically eligible.
They will be requested to inform the faculty advisor(s) of anyone who they feel does not meet any
of the four criteria necessary for becoming a member of the NHS. The faculty member may submit
his/her objection to any candidate in writing, and the conduct or behavior which is the basis of this
objection, must have been documented either by a formal Student Discipline form or by informal
means (documented grade deduction, detention, telephone call to parents, etc.).
3. The NHS faculty council (along with Vice Principal(s) and/or Principal) will meet in order to evaluate
the candidates’ activity forms and any letters submitted by faculty members. Only students who
have met all four criteria, scholarship, leadership, character, and service will be selected. Candidates
receiving a majority vote of the faculty council will be inducted into the chapter.
4. All candidates will receive a letter either a) informing them of their selection to the S.H.S. NHS or
b) informing them of their non-selection at this time. Induction will be held in the fall to allow for a
fuller experience in NHS. Those not selected will receive suggestions and advice explaining what
they may do to be considered next year.
COUNSELING SERVICES
The Counseling Department is available to provide career, academic, and personal crisis counseling
to all SHS students.
Counselors will meet with each student at least once per year to assist in developing his/her academic
program, including the graduation, career, and testing plans.
All scheduling and class changes must be arranged and approved by the Counseling Department and
the parents of the involved student.
Representatives from colleges, vocational schools, armed services and industries may visit the Counseling
Office during the school day to speak to interested students. Parents are welcome to meet with them.
Scholarship information and applications for students interested in a post-secondary education are
available in the Counseling Office and on the school website.
Schedule Change Policy
The timeline for schedule changes is as follows:
During the first week of a school semester students may change their schedules only with the written
approval of the teacher of the current course, the teacher of the new course, a counselor, and a parent.
The reasons for schedule changes are as follows:
1. To meet a graduation requirement (i.e., make up a failed course)
2. To meet a documented college admission requirement. (Written documentation must be provided.)
3. A medical reason verified by a detailed, written medical doctor’s report.
4. By teacher recommendation that the class is inappropriate for the student.
After the first week of a school semester, students may change their schedules only with the written approval
of the student services team, 504 committee, and/or special education case conference committee.
Anyone who wishes to change classes without the written approval of those listed above will receive a
“WF” for the course. Only one (1) study hall is permitted per semester.
final exam policy
general policy
1. All courses are required to give a final exam or an alternative assessment at the end of the semester.
These exams or assessments are to be given during dates and times determined by the principal.
2. All courses are required to give a final exam or alternative assessment at the end of the spring
semester. These exams or assessments are to be given during dates and times determined by the
principal. However, under certain circumstances, the Core 40 end-of-course assessment (ECA) or
an AP exam may be used to replace the final exam requirement. Senior students are also offered
a spring semester final exam exemption incentive.
33
3. The Indiana Department of Education will be instituting the Core 40 ECA’s for certain Core 40 classes
each year. All students will be required to take the Core 40 ECA’s in the designated courses. Senior
students will not be allowed to use the finals exemption policy to waive Core 40 testing requirements.
The Core 40 test will be given in the spring. Students who pass the Core 40 ECA will waive their
spring final exam in that course. Students who qualify to be exempt from a final exam may elect to
take the final if they hope to improve their semester grade. However, any grade received will still
be used to compute semester grades.
4. Students who take an advanced placement (AP) course will be required to take both a fall and
spring semester final exam. Senior students will not be allowed to use the final exemption policy
to waive AP course finals. However, students who take the AP exam * in the spring semester
are exempt from taking the semester final for that course if they have no lower than an “80%” for
each grading period during the second semester. The AP exam will replace the AP instructor’s
final exam. Students who do not take an AP exam that is funded by the state of Indiana (AP
Calculus, AP Physics, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science) will not be eligible
for the weighted grade (one point) that is given to AP courses. Additionally, the student will also
be required to take the instructor’s final exam. Students who qualify to be exempt from a final
exam may elect to take the final if they hope to improve their semester grade. However, any
grade received will still be used to compute semester grades. The ACP-Indiana University Final
exams will be treated as AP exams.
5. Certain courses may assess student learning in a different format than a written final exam;
a) Core 40 courses that are not identified as academic core classes required for a Core 40 diploma
(courses considered non-college prep)
b) Courses not listed in #8
6. The grade for each nine-week grading period is worth 40% of the semester grade. Final exams and
alternative assessments are worth 20% of a student’s semester grade. Seniors and AP students who
qualify to be exempt from a spring semester final exam will have their semester grades computed
using the following formula: 50% for the 3rd nine-week grading period, 50% for the 4th grading
period.
7. Teachers may elect to give a written final exam in their course even if it is not listed below as a
course that requires a written final. Students are to be notified of this decision at the beginning of
each semester.
8. The following are courses that require a written final exam:

Finals Exemption Policy for Seniors
The following criteria will be used for exempting seniors from second semester final exams. The principal
of SHS reserves the right to revise this policy with approval from the superintendent and members of
the Shelbyville Central Schools Board of Education.
1. Students who have earned an A- (90%) or above for each nine-week grading period during the
second semester of their senior year and have no unexcused absences will be exempt from taking
final exams. This is determined on a class-by-class basis. The three-day absence limit does not
affect this incentive.
2. A student who has no lower than a 70% grade in his/her class for each nine-week grading period
during the second semester of his/her senior year, has no Unexcused absences, and has no more
than three absences the second semester will be exempt from taking the final. This is determined
on a class-by-class basis.
3. Any student who receives an out-of-school suspension during the second semester of the school
year will be required to take all semester exams.
4. Students who otherwise qualify to be exempt may elect to take final exams if they hope to improve
their semester grade. However, any grade received will still be used to compute semester grades.
5. This exemption policy for seniors does not apply to AP exams or Core 40 End-of-Course Assessments. Please refer to #3 and #4 in the General Final Exam Policy for more details.
*Unexcused absences are those defined in the attendance section of this handbook.
*School sponsored field trips and pre-approved college visits do not count as absences.

HEALTH RELATED ISSUES
SHELBYVILLE CENTRAL SCHOOLS WELLNESS CENTER STUDENT HEALTH CLINIC
The SCS Wellness Center is a student health clinic sponsored by Shelbyville Central Schools, and The
Jane Pauley Community Health Center that is designed to provide health care to students while they are
at school. The Wellness Center is located on the east wing of Shelbyville Middle School and the entrance
is from the east. All students can be seen at the SCS Wellness Center for free. Parents/Guardian must
sign the Informed Consent for School-Based Health Clinic Services. Forms are available in the main
office or can be accessed at www.shelbycs.org. The SCS Wellness Center will be open from 7:30a.m. –
3:30p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and from 8:30a.m. – 5:00p.m. on Tuesdays.
Students do not need to be in attendance to be seen at the Wellness Center. Parents may contact the
Wellness Center directly at 317 – 421 – 3931 to schedule an appointment.
Student Health Services
The school nurse/health assistant is readily available to meet the health needs of our students. The
school nurse/health assistant is present during school hours. Students needing to visit the clinic must
have approval from their teacher.
Students should request to see the nurse/health assistant only when they are ill or have become injured.
School personnel will notify parents of students who are too ill to remain at school or if they have been
an injured at school.
Parents will ultimately decide when to seek medical attention for the child.
Guidelines for Sending/Keeping Students Home
• Fever above 100, acute cold, severe cough
• Vomiting, nausea, and abdominal pain, repeated diarrhea
• Injuries for questionable fracture/break, head injury
• Possible/probable pink eye (redness, inflammation and discharge from eyes)
• Live Head Lice
• Communicable disease or suspicion of communicable disease
• Other conditions as deemed advisable by the nurse
It is extremely important that the office has current home, work, and emergency telephone numbers on
file in the event that the student needs to be sent home during the school day.
IMMUNIZATIONS
Student Immunization-Public Law 150 requires immunization of all students. Proof of immunization
must be on file at the school.
IC 20-34-4-5- Each school will require all students to have the required immunizations prior to entering
school. Students will not be allowed to attend school without the proper immunization record, or a written and signed waiver from parents based upon religious convictions against immunizations or signed
waiver from doctor for medical reasons. Upon the schools discretion, parents may be given a waiver not
to exceed 20 school days post enrollment to provide documentation to the school. If this information is
not provided, the child can be excluded from school.
CHIRP release- I understand that my child’s information; including child’s name, date of birth, address,
phone number, parent/guardian first name, and immunization data will be entered into the Indiana State
Department of Health’s Children and Hoosiers Immunization Registry Program (CHIRP). I understand
that the information in the registry may be used to verify that my child has received proper immunizations and to inform me or my child of my child’s immunization status or that an immunization is due
according to the recommended immunization schedules. I understand that my child’s information may
be available to the immunization data registry of another state, a healthcare provider or a provider’s
designee, a local health department, an elementary or secondary school, a child care center, the office
of Medicaid policy and planning or a contractor of the office of Medicaid policy and planning, a licensed
child placing agency, and a college or university. I also understand that other entities may be added to
this list through amendment to I.C. 16-38-5-3. If you do not want your child’s information entered into
the state data base, you must notify the school and provided written documentation that you do not want
your child in the CHIRP registry..
36
MEDICATIONS- Prescription and Non-Prescription
All medications must have written consent. If prescription medication is to be dispensed for longer than
4 weeks, the student’s physician must sign the consent form. If an over-the-counter medication is to be
given, a consent form needs to be filled out and signed by the parent.
All prescription medications and over the counter drugs are to be in the original containers and on file in
the nurse’s office. The school nurse, health assistant, school secretary, principal, or teacher only with
the written permission of the parent will distribute prescription medications to the student. Under no
circumstances are students to have prescription medications in their possession (prescription emergency
medications, insulin for diabetes, and inhalers for asthma being the exception) during the school day or
at a school activity. Medications will need to be brought to the school clinic by the parent or a permission to transport medications form (only for grades 9-12) signed by the parent will need to be on file if
the student is transporting medications to the school clinic. Only students in grades 9-12 are permitted
to transport medications to and from school with parent consent.
Students are not to bring over the counter medications, health products such as strength enhancing
supplements, diet pills, etc. to school. In the event that the student is to take an over the counter medication at school, the parent will need fill out the appropriate form and bring this medication to the clinic
or sign a permission for student to transport medication (only for grades 9-12). The medication must be
in the original container, with written instructions on when and how much the student is to take. Again,
these medications should be kept in the school clinic and not in the student’s possession. School personnel must witness any student taking medication. Any violation of this rule could lead to suspension
or expulsion from school.
Insurance for Students
The school does not carry insurance of any kind on students. School accident insurance is available to
you and may be purchased during the first weeks of school. The purchase of insurance is recommended
for students who participate in competitive athletics.
SHELBYVILLE CENTRAL SCHOOLS WELLNESS POLICY
Shelbyville Central Schools recognizes that good nutrition and regular physical activity affect the health
and well-being of all students. Furthermore, research suggests that there is a positive correlation between
a student’s health and well-being and his/her ability to learn. Moreover, schools can play an important
role in the developmental process by which students establish their health and nutrition habits by providing nutritious meals and snacks through the schools’ meal programs, by supporting the development
of good eating habits, and by promoting increased physical activity both in an out of school. However,
we believe this effort to support the students’ development of healthy behaviors and habits with regard
to eating and exercise cannot be accomplished by the schools alone. It will be necessary for not only
the staff, but also parents and the public at large to be involved in a community-wide effort to promote,
support, and model such healthy behaviors and habits.
SEVERE ALLERGIES
Shelbyville Central Schools has several students with severe allergies to peanuts and peanut products.
If these students consume peanuts or peanut products, they will have trouble breathing within seconds.
This can happen even if they consume a very small amount of the peanuts or peanut products by
accident. Please limit the amount of peanuts or peanut products you send to school with your child. If
your child brings food to school with peanuts or peanut products, we ask that he/she does not take it in
the classroom, but that he/she leaves the food at the front office. Students should not share their food,
eating utensils, and food containers with other students. Students are encouraged to wash their hands
before and after eating. If your child has a severe allergy of any kind, please notify the principal and/or
school nurse as soon as possible.
37
HEAD LICE
The Shelbyville Central School Corporation has developed specific guidelines for the treatment of head
lice and/or nits. These guidelines include parent notification, treatment instructions, and parent responsibilities. Any student who has live head lice will be sent home from school for treatment in accordance
with established guidelines.
Guidelines
If a student is reported to have head lice, the School Nurse and/or Health Assistant will do the following:
1. The student will be examined to determine if there is an active infestation; live lice.
2. If the School Nurse and/or Health Assistant determine that there is an active infestation, the student’s
parent/guardian will be notified and the student will be sent home.
3. If a case of head lice is confirmed, the School Nurse and/or Health Assistant may conduct a classroom
check or will check individual students, as she deems necessary.
4. Siblings of any positive cases will be checked, plus the sibling’s class if he/she proves positive and
the School Nurse and/or Health Assistant deem it necessary.
5. If the sibling attends another school, the School Nurse and/or Health Assistant may contact the
School Nurse of that school.
6. When a child is sent home, a letter is sent with the child with information about head lice and treatment procedures. When the child returns to school, they must bring back Form #1 from the letter
with date of treatment and product used. In 7-10 days, the child should be retreated and Form #2
must be returned with date treated and product used.
7. It is the responsibility of the parent to make arrangements with the School Nurse and/or Health
Assistant for the student to be examined before re-entry into school. The parent must accompany
the child to school for this examination so that the School Nurse and/or Health Assistant can check
for the presence of live lice, review treatment, and provide any needed instructions or support.
8. Only 1 day will be allowed as an excused absence for the purpose of treatment. More time out of
school than this will be considered unexcused absences due to parental/guardian non-compliance
and will be referred to the Principal for follow-up. It is recognized that no child should routinely be
excluded from school due to head lice and parents will be encouraged to treat promptly if needed
and return the child to school the next day.
9. Chronic or repeated head lice infestation should be referred to the Director of Health Services for
consultation. In the case of repeated head lice infestations, the child may be excluded from school
even if the case is not active (live lice) but chronically has nits (eggs). The student will be excluded
until effective treatment has been provided and the nits are removed.
CONCUSSIONS
Shelbyville High School will abide by all doctors’ notes and protocol concerning concussions. Upon
diagnosis of concussion, absent specific restrictions from a physician, the school will implement the
following protocol until the student has been medically cleared:
• No assessments (quizzes, tests)
• No curricular physical activity
• Extra time will be allowed for completion of assignments
• Use of electronic devices (computers, tablets) will be monitored and limited
In the event that a student is restricted from taking formal assessments (including semester final exams) the
student may: Make up the exam if recovery is within 10 school days of the original exam date, the teacher
may exempt the student from that test or, the teacher may replace an exam score with a subsequent score.
For final exams, that student’s semester grade may be determined by averaging the two nine weeks’ grades
or, by completing the final exam at a later point, depending on the timeline of recovery. Final decision will be
made in consultation with the student’s teacher, parent/guardian, school counselor, and doctor. If no medical follow up is conducted and no medical release is provided to the school by the parent/
guardian, the student may receive a grade of incomplete for those courses enrolled in at the time of
the concussion.
Students who have sustained a concussion during SHS extracurricular participation will follow the protocol
determined by their personal physician and the SHS athletic trainer.
38
TEXTBOOK / BOOKSTORE INFORMATION
Book Rental/Textbook Assistance
The book rental fee for each student is determined by his or her schedule. All costs, fees and other
supplies needed for a given course are indicated on the student’s copy of his/her schedule. Book rental
fees are paid in the main office at the high school.
Students from families needing financial assistance with book rental and free or reduced lunches must
complete the appropriate forms.
Students are responsible for all books rented through the school and costs for damages may be incurred
when necessary. There will be no refunds for workbooks used in respective classes.
Bookstore
Assorted school supplies are available in the bookstore. The bookstore is open before school and is
located next to the Counseling Office in room 104.
LIBRARY/MEDIA
The goal of our Media Center is to provide the materials, services, and technology most relevant to the
school curriculum while supporting meaningful growth and development in each student. Our media
staff is available to assist students and faculty throughout the school day and during extended hours
to allow additional access to materials and services. Students may visit the media center on a pass
from class, during the lunch hour or from study hall. Most books can be checked out for a three week
period. Exceptions to the policy include books that have been placed on “on reserve” by a teacher or
magazines and reference books, which circulate overnight only. Students are expected to take care of
borrowed materials and return them promptly. Fees will be charged for late, lost, or damaged items.
The media staff will work together with classroom teachers to provide students with the computer training and research skills necessary to locate and analyze information. A copy machine is located in the
media center for student use, but it should not be used to make more than 5 copies without permission.
Use of the copy machine for non-school activities is prohibited.
STUDENT USE OF COMPUTERS
The Shelbyville Central Schools provide computers and related technology for the use of students to
enhance their educational opportunities. The use of these technologies is a privilege. The Shelbyville
Central Schools reserve the right to revoke a student’s privilege of using technology within the school
setting at any time.
Any misuse of school corporation technology may result in suspension or expulsion from school as
well as financial restitution for damage to school hardware or software. Misuse may include, but not
be limited to the following:
• intentionally seeking information on the hard disk other than that authorized by the teacher, obtaining
copies of other files, modifying files, modifying programs, other data or pass words belonging to others.
• misrepresenting other students through the use of technology.
• disrupting the operation of the computer through abuse of the hardware or software available.
• malicious use of the computer to transmit mail, harassment, or obscene, profane, vulgar, abusive,
or sexually explicit statements, or discriminatory remarks through a network or any other means.
• interfering with others using the technology.
• using disks not purchased from or provided by the school.
• taking disks out of the room.
• using computers without a teacher, an administrator, a staff member or a lay volunteer (approved
by the principal) in the room supervising.
• illegal installation, copying or use of copyrighted software.
• using another person’s password or allowing another person to use your password.
• violation of any local, state, or federal law.
• vandalizing, damaging or disabling school owned equipment or software.
39
• accessing another person’s material, information or files without the direct permission of the student
and the teacher.
• any altering of the hardware or software.
• failure to use a virus protection program before opening their file.
• games may be played only when the teacher as a part of the grade or course curriculum assigns
them.
Student Use of the Internet
The Shelbyville Central Schools provide access to the Internet for the educational opportunities they
afford to students and faculty. As such, this access will (1) assist in the collaboration and the exchange
of information, (2) facilitate personal growth in the use of technology, and (3) enhance information
gathering and communication skills.
Students utilizing Shelbyville Central Schools provided Internet access are responsible for good behavior
on-line just as they are in a classroom or other area of the school. The same general rules for behavior
and communications apply.
Access is a privilege, not a right, which entails responsibility. Electronic messages and files stored on
school-based computers may be treated like school lockers. Administrators and faculty may review files
and messages to maintain system integrity and ensure that users are acting responsibly.
All students and faculty who wish to use the Internet access provided by the Shelbyville Central Schools
must comply with the policies and procedures regarding acceptable use of technology. All users prior to
accessing the Internet through the Shelbyville Central Schools must sign an agreement.
GOOGLE APPS FOR EDUCATION
Students will be provided with a Google App for Education user account as part of the Google App for
Education district account managed by Shelbyville Central Schools. With these accounts, students will
have access to Google Apps for Education online resources, which include productivity and management tools such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and much more. To remain eligible as
users, students’ use of their Google App accounts must be in support of and consistent with Shelbyville
Central’s educational objectives
SCHOOL CLOSING AND DELAY INFORMATION
There are times when severe weather may cause an alteration of the school day or may close the schools
altogether. In the case of a two-hour delay, all buses will run two hours later than regularly scheduled.
Morning Kindergarten will not meet on a two-hour delay. A one-hour delay will have the buses running
one hour later than normal. Morning Kindergarten will meet, but one hour later than normal schedule.
When schools are closed, no one is to come to the school buildings.
In case school must be closed early, notification to parents will be made using the same media. Be sure
your child has an alternate emergency plan if school is dismissed and you are not at home.
All closing and delays are announced on radio and television.
SCHOOL MESSENGER ALERT
School Messenger Instant Alert is an essential tool for notification and communication. Within minutes
of an emergency, school officials can use School Messenger to deliver a single clear message to the
students’ parents or guardians by telephone, cell phone, or e-mail. The system can also be used to notify
you of school closings due to inclement weather. It’s an equally effective way to keep you informed of
everyday activities, such as event times and schedule changes. Shelbyville High School uses School
Messenger to notify parents/guardians if their son or daughter is absent from school and no contact
has been made.
Winter Snow Routes
In order to resume school attendance after periods of heavy snow, snow routes with pick up/drop off
stops will be designated for students living on roads that are still not accessible to busses. Parents will
be notified of the designated bus stop and the time of the bus arrival. It will be the responsibility of the
parents to get the students to and from the designated snow route bus stop.
40
Early Dismissal Weather Conditions
The school requests that an emergency dismissal form is completed by the parent/guardian and kept on
file in the school office. In case of early dismissal due to weather conditions, this form gives the school
information as to where the student is to go. This form is included in the online registration materials. It
is important that this information be current and updated when changes occur. When weather conditions
are such that an early dismissal is a possibility, please, check local radio and television broadcasts, and/
or school messenger instant alerts.
STUDENT MISCeLLANEOUS INFORMATION
BREAKFAST AND LUNCH PROGRAMS
Shelbyville Central Schools provides a breakfast and lunch program for all students who wish to participate.
Some students may qualify for breakfast and lunch assistance. Forms will be available in each school
office. Be sure to complete a form early in the school year if you think you may qualify.
SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
As permitted by law, the district uses video cameras on District property to ensure the health, welfare,
and safety of all staff, students and visitors to District property, and to safeguard District facilities and
equipment. Video cameras may be used in locations as deemed appropriate by the Superintendent.
Students in violation of board policies, administrative regulations, building rules, or law shall be subject
to appropriate disciplinary action. Others may be referred to law enforcement agencies. Video recordings
may become a part of a student’s educational record. The District will comply with all applicable state
and federal laws related to maintenance and retention.
Field Trips
Field trips are a means of motivating students and enriching their educational experiences. The Board
of School Trustees and the school principal approve such trips. Written consent slips are required from
the parents of students participating in these field trips.
Food/Refreshments
Student breakfasts and lunches are available in the cafeteria each day for a reasonable price. The regular
“class A” lunch provides a meat, two vegetables, dessert and a drink at a predetermined price. Students
may also choose to select their lunch from our “a la carte” lines at a cost determined by their selections.
SHS is a closed campus. During the lunch period students are to be in the cafeteria. Only students who
are pre-approved and registered to drive to/from afternoon Blue River Career Programs may be off-school
grounds during the lunch period. Students are not permitted to leave this area without a pass from a
teacher on supervision. No food or drinks may be brought into the school except for lunch or curricular
purposes. In recognition of the school corporation’s wellness policy, outside “fast food” delivered to a
student during the instructional day is prohibited.
Deliveries to school for students
Special deliveries (flowers, balloons, food, etc.) to school for students are not allowed.
School Dances
School groups occasionally sponsor dances 2-3 times per school year. Students will need to show student
ID’s to be admitted to the all dances. Dances will end by 11:00 P.M. unless otherwise advertised. Attendance
at school dances (including Homecoming) is restricted to S.H.S. students only with the following exceptions:
1) Winter Formal/Snowcoming: Current SHS students may invite one guest. That guest can only be a
former SHS student who graduated in good standing and who does not exceed the age of 20 years.
Guest must have prior approval from SHS administration.
2) All SHS students and guests attending Prom: must be of at least a Junior or Senior in good academic
standing (no violations of attendance policy and making adequate graduation progress as determined
by SHS administration.) Guests must also meet one of the following conditions:
a) Guest may be a former SHS student who graduated in good standing and who has does not
exceed the age of 20 years.
b) Guest may be currently enrolled in an accredited Indiana high school, must have approval from
that school’s administration, and cannot exceed the age of 20 years.
41
c) Guest may be a currently enrolled homeschooled (high school grades) student and cannot
exceed the age of 20 years. Verification of homeschool enrollment will be required.
d) Guests may have completed an accredited GED certification program and cannot exceed the
age of 20 years
f) Guests may be an active member of the United States Military, in good standing, and cannot
exceed the age of 20 years.
SHS administration approval for all guest requests is required. SHS administration reserves the right to
deny admittance to any SHS student or guest.
POST PROM ELIGIBILITY
1. All students who are planning to bring a guest who is not a S.H.S. student must complete a “Request
for Guest Approval” form. These forms must be completed and returned to the main office prior to
the Prom. Do not assume your guest has been approved until you are notified.
2. A guest from another school must attend the Prom to be eligible to attend the Post Prom. Guests
must be approved by the SHS administration before attending any activities.
Student Government
Their Student Council represents S.H.S. students. Members of Student Council are selected by popular
vote of their respective classmates. The purpose of Student Council is as follows:
1. To allow students a voice in decisions regarding school policies and procedures. The S.H.S. administration by state law has the ultimate authority in all school matters.
2. To create and enhance school spirit and pride throughout the entire student body. The use of certain
activities and other school-wide efforts (i.e., Homecoming, Campus Clean-ups, etc.) will be used to
assist in this venture.
Student Records
In compliance with federal regulations, the Shelbyville Central Schools has established the following
guidelines concerning student records:
1. Each student’s records will be kept in a confidential file located at the student’s school office. This information
in a student’s record will be available for review only by the parents or legal guardian of a student, adult
student (eighteen years of age or older), and those designated by Federal law or Corporation regulations.
In order to conduct the normal day-to-day school business the following people may have access to
students’ records as needed to perform their respective duties, and when the information will benefit
the student’s educational program.
Local school Administrators, Teachers, School Nurse, School psychologist and psychometrist, School
Counselors, School Social Workers, School secretaries, Officials of the receiving school when the
student moves from our district, Federal, state, and local government authorities
2. A parent, guardian, or adult student has the right to request a change or addition to a student’s
records and to either obtain a hearing with Corporation officials or file a complaint with the US Office
of Education if not satisfied with the accuracy of the records or with the Corporation’s compliance
with the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act.
3. A copy of the policy and the accompanying guidelines are available at the Corporation office and at
the student’s school building. Questions or concerns should be addressed to the School Records
Officer. If not satisfied at the level, individuals may contact the Corporation Records Control Officer.

Student Sales
Students are not allowed to sell merchandise of any kind on school property unless the said merchandise
is a school-sponsored fundraiser or has been approved for sale by school administration.
Use of the School Phones
Students should ask to use the telephone only in case of an emergency. Permission must be granted
by the classroom teacher or school office. Arrangements for after school activities should be made
before coming to school.
Age of Majority
Eighteen-year-old students ordinarily are required to follow the same rules and procedures as younger
students. In certain cases eighteen-year-olds may assume responsibility for their own attendance and
request not to have their parents contacted when problems arise:
1. If they are living apart from their parents and are supporting themselves.
2. If they are married.
3. If they bring in a written request, signed by their parents, asking that they be considered an adult in
attendance and all other school matters.
At-Risk Students
If the student shows signs of being at-risk, the principal may call the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) and
ask that he/she be tested. At-risk factors will include, but are not limited to excessive discipline problems
and/or excessive absences from school. A parent may request testing of his/her child.
Section 504
Section 504 protects all students with mental or physical impairment, which is defined as follows:
A. substantially limits one or more major life activities, or
B. has a record of such impairment, or
C. is regarded as having such as impairment.
The Corporation will identify, evaluate, and provide an appropriate education for students who are
determined to be disabled under Section 504. Parents who feel their child may qualify should contact
the Section 504 Compliance Officer for the school the child attends. In the event a satisfactory resolution
is not made, parents may contact the Corporation Compliance Officer.

Pest Control and Use of Pesticides and Herbicides
The School Corporation is committed to providing a safe environment for students. It seeks to prevent
children from being exposed to pests, pesticides, and herbicides. The Corporation will:
• Attempt to use non-chemical methods of pest control and only use chemical methods of pest control
after a determination has been made that non-chemical methods would most probably be ineffective.
If spraying of chemicals is required, students or staff shall conduct such spraying in areas, which
are not to be used, for a period of at least forty-eight (48) hours.
• For information regarding this issue please contact Earsel Smith at (317) 392-2505.
43
Visitors to the building
Shelbyville High School asks that all visitors enter the building through the front entrance (gate 9) and
check-in at the front office desk.
The School Board welcomes and encourages visits to school by parents, other adult residents of the community
and interested educators. But in order for the educational program to continue undisturbed when visitors are present and to prevent the intrusion of disruptive persons into the schools, it is necessary to invoke visitor controls.
The Superintendent or building principal has the authority to prohibit the entry of any person to a school of this
Corporation or to expel any person when there is reason to believe the presence of such person would be
inimical to the good order of the school. If such an individual refuses to leave the school grounds or creates a
disturbance, the principal is authorized to request from the local law enforcement agency whatever assistance
is required to remove the individual.
The Superintendent shall promulgate such administrative guidelines as are necessary for the protection of
students and employees of the Corporation from disruption to the educational program or the efficient conduct
of their assigned tasks.
Rules regarding entry of persons other than students, staff, and faculty upon school grounds or premises shall
be posted conspicuously at or near the entrance to such grounds or premises if there are no formal entrances,
and at the main entrance to each school building.
Individual Board members who are interested in visiting schools or classrooms on an unofficial basis
shall make the appropriate arrangements with the building principal. In keeping with Board bylaws, such
Board member visits shall not be considered to be official unless designated as such by the Board.
The Board member shall be visiting as an interested individual in a similar capacity of any parent or citizen
of the community. These visits should not be considered to be inspections nor as supervisory in nature.
If, during a visit to a school or program, a Board member observes a situation or condition which causes
concern, s/he should discuss the situation first with the Superintendent as soon as convenient or appropriate.
Such a report or discussion shall not be considered an official one from the School Board. I.C. 20-26-5-4
Security
All school buildings will be secured each day after students have arrived. One door, near the administrative offices, will be unlocked during the school day. Anyone wishing to enter the building will need to do
so through the designated door.
DIRECTORY INFORMATION
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that Shelbyville
Central Schools, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, Shelbyville Central
Schools may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless
you have advised the District to the contrary in accordance with District procedures. The primary
purpose of directory information is to allow the Shelbyville Central Schools to include this type of
information from your child’s education records in certain school publications. Examples include:
• A playbill, showing your student’s role in a drama production;
• The annual yearbook;
• Honor roll or other recognition lists;
• Graduation programs; and
• Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling, showing weight and height of team members.
Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion
of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent’s prior written
consent. Outside organizations include, but are not limited to, companies that manufacture class
rings or publish yearbooks. In addition, two federal laws require local educational agencies (LEAs)
receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide
military recruiters, upon request, with the following information – names, addresses and telephone
listings – unless parents have advised the LEA that they do not want their student’s information
disclosed without their prior written consent.
44
Additionally, Shelbyville Central Schools has been selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Education’s
FAFSA Completion Project. This project is designed to assist LEAs and secondary school administrators in
determining which of their senior students have completed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
form for the upcoming school year. In order to participate in the FAFSA Completion Project Shelbyville Central
Schools is required to disclose the names, addresses, and dates of birth on entering seniors to the U.S. Department of Education (that is, properly designated directory information under FERPA) on those students whose
parents have not opted out of directory information. (If the student is considered an “eligible student” under
FERPA, i.e., has reached 18 years of age, then the student has the right to opt out of directory information.)
If you do not want Shelbyville Central Schools to disclose directory information from your child’s education records without your prior written consent, you must notify the District in writing by September 30.
Shelbyville Central Schools has designated the following information as directory information: student’s
name, address, and date of birth.
You may request a Shelbyville High School Phone Extension List by contacting Shelbyville High School
at (317) 398-9731. You may also get phone extensions, e-mail addresses and other pertinent information
at the Shelbyville Central Schools website located at www.shelbycs.org
