Westwind Alternate School
operates a campus at Magrath
High School. Students who
have difficulty meeting their
scheduling needs with classes
at MHS are directed to the
Alternate school. The two
schools operate in partnership.
www.magrathhigh.ca
!
!
!
Following are specific rules
that everyone is expected to
observe:
Physical or Verbal Abuse
Under no circumstances will physical
or verbal abuse towards anyone at
the school be tolerated.
Alcohol, Illegal Drugs and
Smoking
We can only advise students as to
the difficulties alcohol, smoking, or
drugs can create. However, we are
able to demand that all students
attending our school refrain from the
use of drugs or alcohol during the
time school is in session or during
school sponsored activities.
clean, and tidy. Clothing must also
be free of inappropriate pictures or
language. Footwear must be worn
at all times. Inline skates and
skateboards are not permitted on
school grounds. Hats are to be
removed prior to entering a
classroom. Hats worn in classrooms
may be confiscated.
Defiance of an Adult
When a reasonable request is made
by any adult at the school, a student
has the responsibility to respond
accordingly.
Profanity
Magrath High School, and any other
location students attend with a school
class or group, are not places for
profanity. All persons in the school
must recognize the need for
appropriate language.
Dress Code
The Magrath High School, in
harmony with the Westwind School
Division, has established the
following as dress standards for our
school. Students are expected to
conform to them without constant
reminders from the staff or
administration. In particular,
emphasis shall be placed on a clean,
neat, modest, and tidy appearance,
as well as the avoidance of extreme
styles in dress and grooming.
Ragged, torn, or frayed clothing is
not acceptable attire. Tops must
cover the shoulders, midriff, and
back. Hair is to be well groomed,
Fees
Fees are collected to partially cover
the cost of textbook rental,
student council, yearbook, materials
needed in special classes, for
damage to rented texts, and lost
library books. Fees are payable at
the office starting the first day of
classes and are due by the end of
September. Arrangements to pay
with post-dated cheques may be
made at the office. Students will not
be allowed to participate in extracurricular events in the school before
all fees have been paid or
arrangements for their payment have
been made.

will be expected to

Students will use only their assigned
locker. The school will provide a
lock that must be used. If the lock
goes missing, the student will be
responsible for replacing the lock.
Locker inspections may be conducted
by the school on a periodic basis.
Westwind School Division #74
recognizes that from time to time it
may be deemed necessary by the
principal of the school to have school
lockers searched by police service
dogs to ensure that expectations set
out in policies 312.0, 314.0, 352.0,
and 320.0 are being followed by the
students of the school. All parents/
guardians of MHS students will be
asked to sign a form that indicates
that they have been informed of
these policies.
Westwind School Division reserves
the right to search all school facilities
including lockers and desks assigned
to students for their own use. In
addition, personal items such as
backpacks, purses, coats, etc. may
also be searched.

Major Disciplinary Matters
Nursing Service
Fire Drills
The following are considered major
offenses and may be reported to the
RCMP: fights, threats, assaults,
harassment, deliberate vandalism,
theft, extortion, possession of a
firearm, explosive or paraphernalia
designed or used for the purpose of
inflicting bodily injury, threats or
assaults to school personnel, use,
possession, sale, or being under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
A School Health Nurse from
Magrath Community Health is
responsible for checking various
aspects of health in school age
children. After parental consent,
immunizations as required for
particular grades and health
assessments as needed for individual
students are carried out. Nurses also
provide support and direction for
school health committees, and
provide resources and assistance
with health teaching. Parents and
teachers may contact the nurse with
health related concerns. New
families should fill out a health
information form for each child.
These are available at the school
office. Please contact the health unit
at 403-758-4422 for further
information.
Fire/lockdown drills are held
regularly during the warm months to
assist the students and staff in
knowing primary and alternate
routes for leaving the school in the
event of a fire. Students should wear
shoes at all times. If students are out
of their classrooms they should leave
the school with exiting students and
then locate and notify their teacher
immediately. Students will return to
their classroom only after the allclear signal is given.
Assemblies
School assemblies are occasionally
held, and may include either the
entire student body or a particular
group within the student body, but
most assemblies will be for a
particular group of students to deal
with concerns relative to that
particular group. Students are
expected to attend assemblies and
must not leave the school without
checking out at the office. Student
behavior is expected to be polite
and courteous.
Field Trips
Secondary field trip costs will be
assessed to the students for each trip
taken. A regular fee is not charged
since many secondary classes do not
take a field trip. Field trip behavior
will fall under the same policies that
are in effect during the regular
school day. Participation in field
trips will be restricted if a student
fails to display the desire to keep
school policies.
Medical Conditions
Parking
Observance of town by-laws is a first
priority. A parking lot is available to
students south of the Tom Karren
gym. This student parking lot is not a
place for students to hang out.
School rules relative to conduct are
the same as they are inside the
building.
Students with allergies or chronic
medical problems must indicate on
their registration form the nature of
the problem. This will enable the
staff to effectively deal with a
medical concern should the situation
arise. All information will be strictly
confidential.
Accident or Illness
Should a child become ill or be
involved in an accident at the school,
the parents will be contacted as soon
as possible. It is very important for
the school to have an up-to-date
record of a telephone number where
a parent or guardian can be
reached. Should a doctor be
required we will take the student to
the hospital or clinic for assistance.
Students should never leave the
school without checking out at the
office. This is particularly true for
students who become ill at school.
An ambulance will be called by the
school if an injury merits such action.
4
Freedom of Information and
Protection of Privacy Act
All parents/guardians of MHS
students will be asked to sign a form
that indicates their wishes concerning
this Act and how it relates to their
child.
Electronic Devices
The use of electronic devices such as
cell phones, ipods, MP3 players,
digital cameras, etc. is not
recommended at school. At no time
are cell phones to be used during
class time. The use of ipods and
MP3 players during class is
discouraged, but in special situations
teachers will make the decision that
is in the best interest of their students.
www.magrathhigh.ca
Regular school attendance is very important in order to
maintain good school progress. This is the responsibility of the
student and his/her parents/guardians.
BELL TIMES
Students leaving the building during the school day must check
out at the office. Parent/guardian cooperation in ensuring
students attend school whenever possible is considered
essential.

Magrath High School grades 10-12
operate on a semester system.
Mondays through Thursdays have
four 86 minute classes. High school
students’ time tables on these days
will have two periods shown above
combined (ie. Period 1-2, 3-4, 5-6,
7-8). Fridays run on a different
schedule to accommodate our early
dismissal that day.
Absence
Procedure
Truancy
Procedure
School policy requires that a
student have all absences preconfirmed by a parent/
guardian, who must contact the
school stating the student’s
name and the reason for the
absence. If there is no preconfirmation by the parent/
guardian, the absence will be
dealt with as truancy until a
confirmation is received.
If the number of absences
becomes a concern for
successful completion of a
course, a parent conference
may occur in which the student
and parent will work with
administration to modify the
behavior to allow the student to
maximize her or his chances to
be successful in the course.
Following the first truancy the
teacher will contact the parents
to inform them that their
student was absent and to
indicate what work needs to be
completed. Subsequent
truancies will be dealt with
through the office and will
involve contact with students,
parents, teacher, and
administration. The desired
outcome is a change in student
behavior that results in regular
school attendance. Other
possible outcomes may include
detention, suspension, or a
recommendation that the
student be transferred to an
alternative school to better
meet their needs.
The School Act states that students may be excused for illness, medical attention, and
family emergencies. Special circumstances requiring several days out of school should
always be reviewed with that student’s teachers. If the number of absences becomes
a concern for successful completion of a course, a parent conference may occur in
which the student and parent will work with administration to modify the behavior to
allow the student to maximize his or her chances to be successful in the course.
Families with children on regular bus routes should work
through Brent Bevans (403-653-4491) to handle
transportation concerns. Town students who wish to ride
on the school bus may do so on an occasional basis if the
bus has room and if they get a bus pass from the office.
See Westwind Division #74 policy #515.0 for expected
conduct on buses.

MHS School Song
Give us a cheer for old MHS.
You do your best and we’ll do the rest.
We are loyal; we are true,
True to the gold and to the blue.
We’ll never falter; we’ll never fall.
We’ll do our best to win overall
As we lead our Zeniths on,
Onward to Victory.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
