Dear Parents:
Welcome to Grantsville Elementary School! Our entire staff is excited and happy to
welcome your children back to school, and we are looking forward to another outstanding year.
We have excellent staffs who believe that all children can learn, and we are committed to
helping each student achieve his/her potential. You will feel the spirit of pride at G.E.S.as you
become a part of our school.
We realize that schools are created to serve and to educate students. We intend to
maintain high standards of excellence and to establish high expectations for student
achievement. With these goals in mind, we anticipate a very productive and rewarding school
year. Each of our teachers offer unique educational experiences that will help students to
learn and t o grow, as well as to. develop intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally.
As a staff, we will also teach and practice basic social skills. We believe that
everyone who has been taught to demonstrate appropriate social skills will be better prepared
to excel academically. All students and staff members need to contribute to and help
maintain a safe school environment which is conducive to learning, developing individual
responsibility, and providing mutual respect.
We also recognize that the parent is the primary educator of the child, and we
encourage you to participate and to get involved in the activities at our school. We believe
that “it takes a village to raise a child," which includes a combination of home, school, and
community members working together, resulting in a more effective and positive educational
experience for all of our children.
Enclosed you will find a list of staff members, a daily schedule, a school calendar, dates
for Parent-Teacher conferences, school policies, and other useful information. Please keep
this handbook in a convenient place to be used as a reference throughout the year.

Structuring the School for Student Success
High Expectations: We believe that every child is a person of value who is capable of
learning and wants to be challenged. Each unique individual deserves a quality
educational experience with equal access to diverse growth opportunities that will
help them to achieve their potential and ultimately become successful we envision
a school without barriers where risk-taking is accepted and encouraged.
Positive Climate: We believe in the power and potential of the human spirit, and we
believe that people are innately good. We want to create a SAFE, caring, friendly, and
nurturing teaming environment that celebrates individual differences and respects
cultural diversity ... a place where students feel like they are wanted and belong to
a part of something greater than themselves…where they have the freedom to explore
their own creative potential…uninhibited.
Instructional Excellence: We want to provide our students with a solid
foundation in the ·•basics"" that emphasizes reading and writing across the curriculum,
with a focus on keeping kids at or above academic grade level in conjunction with the
Utah State Core Curriculum. At the same time, we want to cultivate critical thinking
skills in our students and challenge them to "think outside the box." We value
academic learning time as meaningful and we seek to provide quantifiable measures of
student progress.
Community of Learners: We believe that learning is relationship driven and should be
student-oriented. We want to surround our students with the best a va i l ab l e adult
role models, where teachers as leaders can and do make a difference. We want to create
a community of learners, where students, faculty, staff, and parents ALL learn, grow,
and evolve together.
Character Education: We are committed to developing caring, honest, and respectful citizens
who will make positive contributions to society and live meaningful lives. We encourage
students to value friendship, and to interact positively with each other as they
accept responsibility for belonging to a group. We want them to be passionate and
compassionate as they participate in activities that will promote good citizenship and
develop leadership qualities.
"Real World" Prreparation: We believe in the edification of our society through the
preservation of democratic principles. We want to emphasize practical applications and
skill acquisition that students can take with them in the future. We want to provide
han.ds-on experiences and expose students to new ideas, new people, and new places that
will motivate them to become self-directed, lifelong learners.

*STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT*
The Personal Responsibility of Each G.E.S. Student
We are proud to be GRIZZLIES, and we believe that it is a privilege to be enrolled at
Grantsville Elementary School. We take our responsibilities very seriously as representatives of our
school, both during the school day and away from school. Therefore, as students at G.E.S. we are
expected to be aware of and to accept our individual responsibilities in the following five areas:
1)
RESPONSIBILITY for Your Own Actions:
Your first responsibility is to decide how you should conduct yourself while you are at
school. You will be held responsible only for the thi ngs you do or fail to do.
What others choose to do or not do is of little importance in determining whether or
not you accept your responsibility as a student-citizen at Grantsville Elementary
School. The decisions are yours to make, as are the corresponding consequences.
2)
RESPECT for the Rights of Others:
Every right you have has an obligation attached to it. Your rights must be balanced
against the rights of others, just as their rights must be balanced against yours. Also,
the purpose of our school and the requirements of the educational process must be
weighted in deciding who has a right to do what and which behaviors will be punished at
any given time. This is why our society has laws and our school has rules to live by.
3)
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS the First Time:
You deserve the best instruction that Grantsville Elementary School has to offer. In
order for the efforts of the teachers to be successful and for you to work and achieve
your potential, you must cooperate with the teachers and do all those things that you
are asked to do the first time, without complaint or question. Compliance is key to our
collective success--noncompliance will not be tolerated in our building.
4)
Keep Your HANDS, FEET. MOUTH, AND OBJECTS TO SELF:
Everyone has their o w n personal space that needs to be respected by others. A good
rule of thumb to guide your behavior at school is to not touch other s t ud e nt s and/or
any other p e r s o n a l property that does not belong to you. This includes not pushing
or shoving when lining up to go somewhere and no roughhousing or horseplay in any of
the common areas (hallways, restrooms, lunchroom, playground, etc.).
5)
BE THERE—BE READY:
You have an obligation to be in class, on time, and prepared to give your best
effort each and every day. Just as your teachers must come prepared to teach, you
and your classmates must come prepared to learn--with open minds and open hearts-
ready to take full advantage of all the educational opportunities that our school has to
offer, and to be a proactive participant in the instructional process.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Americans with Disabilities Act
Adopted 03/07/06
It shall be the policy of Tooele County School District to inform applicants for
admission and employment, students, parents, persons with disabilities, employees and
all unions or professional organizations holding collective bargaining or professional
agreements with the Tooele County School District are hereby notified that this district
does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, age, or disability in
admission or access to, the treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Any
Person having inquiries concerning school compliance with the regulations implementing
Title VI, Title IX, The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or Section 504 is directed
to contact school administration at each building, or the district 504 director. (This
Paragraph will be printed in every Student/Parent Handbook at each school and will list
the School Section 504 Coordinator and the District 504 Director.)
Each school in Tooele County School District is responsible to identify and locate
qualified children with disabilities within their jurisdiction.
Each school with more than 15 employees must designate an employee to coordinate
compliance with Section 504/ADA.
Each school shall provide notice to students and parents in their student/parent handbook
of the nondiscrimination policy of TCSD.
Each School shall annually notify persons with disabilities and their parents or guardians
of the school's responsibilities under Section 504 /ADA.
Each school will provide parents or guardians with procedural safeguards if they have a
child that is protected by Section 504/ADA.
Each school shall conduct a self-evaluation of the school facilities, programs and policies
to ensure that discrimination is not taking place. This study should be conducted with the
assistance of interested persons, including persons with disabilities. (See Attached Form)
The Section 504 School Coordinator shall be responsible to conduct Section 504
Accommodation meetings annually, for each student that has been identified. Each
teacher of the identified student is responsible to insure that the needed accommodations
are made available to the student.
Tooele County School District will make every effort to insure that our students are given
the accommodations that the Section 504 teams have agreed upon. Should there be a
disagreement between the Parents and Schools then the grievance policy should be
followed.
9
A.
TCSD Grievance policy and procedures available under Section 504/ADA
If any person believes that the school or any of the school's staff have inadequately
applied the regulations of (l) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, (2) Title IX of
the Education Amendment Act of 1972, (3) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, (4) The Americans with Disabilities Act, he/she may bring forward a grievance to
the school's Section 504/ADA coordinator. It should be understood by the individual(s)
involved that a complaint can be made directly to the District Section 504 Coordinator or
Office for Civil Rights without going through a school or district grievance procedure.
The grievance procedures are to provide for a prompt and equitable resolution of a
complaint.
The school's Section 504/ADA coordinator will provide a copy of the district's grievance
procedure to the parent. The individual who is filing the grievance should fill out the
discrimination/grievance form, attached, and return it to the school's Section 504
coordinator.
In turn the school Section 504 coordinator shall forward a copy of the grievance to the
District Section 504 coordinator within 48 hours.
B.
TCSD Grievance Procedures for Section 504/ADA issues
Rationale: TCSD will always try to solve any disagreements at the lowest possible
administrative level. If that can’t be done then the following grievance procedure will be
followed.
Step One: The school504 coordinator, on request, will provide a copy of the district
grievance procedure and investigate all complaints in accordance with this procedure.
The grievance procedure should include a statement that a copy of each of the acts and
the regulations on which this notice is based, may be found in the coordinator's office.
The person who believes he/she have been discriminated against based on disability shall
discuss the grievance and give the completed grievance form to the school Section
504/ADA coordinator who shall in turn investigate the complaint and reply with an
answer to the complaint in writing.
Step Two: A written grievance form signed by the complainant shall be submitted to the
school Section 504/ADA coordinator. The coordinator shall further investigate the
matters of the grievance and reply in writing to the complainant within 10 business days.
Step Three: If the complainant wishes to appeal the decision of the school Section
504/ADA coordinator, he/she may submit a signed statement of appeal to the district 504
director within 10 business days after receipt of the school coordinators response. The
coordinator and the district director cannot be the same individual. The district 504
director shall meet with all parties involved, formulate a conclusion, and respond in
writing to the complainant within 10 business days.
10
Step Four: If the complainant remains unsatisfied, he/she may appeal through a signed
written statement to the district Superintendent within 10 business days of his receipt o f
the district 504 director’s responses in step three. In an attempt to resolve the grievance,
the Superintendent shall meet with the concerned parties and their representatives within
40 days of the receipt of such an appeal. A copy of the Superintendent's disposition of the
appeal shall be sent to each concerned party within 10 business days of this meeting.
Step Five: When a grievance has come to conclusion and is settled the school Section
504 coordinator must notify the District 504 Director. This is to be done by forwarding
the written report to the District Director within 48 hours of the resolution of the
grievance.
Mediation: Most of the time parents and school staff agree upon issues regarding
evaluation, eligibility, program, and placement of students with disabilities. However,
there are times when disagreement occurs. Conflict is often inevitable, but it need not
produce negative results. If the parent and school are unable to resolve a conflict
concerning a student with disabilities, then mediation is an available alternative.
A mediator is a trained neutral third party and, therefore, has no power to make a decision
regarding the dispute. Mediation is completely voluntary. It should not interfere with
any procedural safeguards, including a request for a due process hearing or filing a
complaint with the OCR. Mediation costs are the responsibility of the school district.
If you have questions after reviewing these materials, please do not hesitate to contact the
district Section 504/ADA director, or the Utah State Office of Education.
Due Process: Section 504 Due Process Hearing Procedure. Due Process is defined here
as an opportunity to present objections and reasons for the objections to the decisions
and/or procedures used by the school under Section 504. A Section 504 due process
hearing may be called: At the request of the school, or a parent, a guardian, or a
surrogate parent of the student.
The proceedings will be presided over and decided by an impartial hearing
officer. An impartial hearing officer is a person selected to preside at a due process
hearing to assure that proper procedures are followed and to assure the protection of the
rights of both parties.
A copy of the hearing officer's decision shall be delivered to the school and the
parent or guardian following completion of the hearing which in no event shall be later
than 45 days after receipt of the request for a hearing.
Written or verbatim recoding of the due process hearing shall be on file at the
district office and shall be available for review upon request to the parents or involved
parties.
It is important that parents or guardians be notified of their right to request a
hearing regarding the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of persons with
disabilities.
If the school proposes to change the student's placement and the parent files a
request for a hearing, the school is obligated to maintain the student's placement until
administrative proceedings are completed.

~GRANTSVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HOURS~
When Should My Child Arrive at School?
Students should arrive at school between 8:45 and 8:55 a.m. If your child is eating
breakfast at school, he/she needs to arrive at about 8:30; we stop serving breakfast at 8:50.
The tardy bell rings at 9:00, announcements are made, and school begins, so students should be
in their seats and ready to start by no later than 8:55.
If students are not eating breakfast at the school, it is helpful if they do not arrive
before 8:50. If children wish to come into the building at this time, they should go
immediately to their classrooms and remain there until school starts. There should be no
children playing in the halls or the rest rooms before school.

the exception of the main front doors. During the school day, the
students may exit through all doors, but must re-enter with a teacher,
or come back through the front doors.
Parents may meet their children outside the school doors after school. If
parents or visitors need to enter the school during the day, they must
come in through the front doors and check in with the main office. If
anyone is volunteering, they must sign i n at the front office to obtain a
visitor's badge.
16
Breakfast at School:
Breakfast is served each day beginning at 8:30 a.m. If a student is on free
lunch, they also qualify for free breakfast. Similarly, if they are on reduced lunch
payments, they qualify for a reduced breakfast payment.
For all other students, the cost of breakfast is $1.00. We urge you to
consider taking advantage of the "Breakfast at School" program if it meets your
family's needs. All breakfast and lunch arrangements must be made through our
lunchroom manager, Terry Liddiard (phone 884-9994).
School Lunch:
HOT LUNCH IS AVAILABLE FOR ALL STUDENTS EACH SCHOOL DAY.
We would like to encourage you to sign up for the lunch pledge in the school lunchroom.
Many children pay by the daily rate and this is sometimes a problem as they forget--or
lose--their money for lunch. The computer accepts your payments (daily, weekly,
monthly, or quarterly) and advances the money if your child is absent. All breakfast
and lunch payments must be made in advance or at the time of service.

Immunization Requirements:
Any immunization record provided by a licensed physician, registered nurse, or
public health official may be accepted by the school official as a certificate of
immunization if the type of immunization given and the dates given are specified and
the information is transferred to an official certificate for immunization and verified
by the district in which the school is located. The governing authority of any school
shall prohibit further attendance by a student under a conditional enrollment who has
failed to obtain the required immunization five (5) days after written notice of a
pending suspension and if the student's rights have been mailed to the last known
address of a parent, guardian, or legal-age brother or sister of a student who is
without parents or guardian. Parents or guardians whose children are prohibited from
attending school for failure to comply with the provisions of this act shall be referred
to the juvenile court (Division of Family Services) for medical neglect.

SPECIAL NOTICE FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN IN GRADES K-6
PARENTS
SCHOOL FEES ARE NOT PERMITTED
DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY IN
GRADES K-6. You may not be charged for
classroom snacks, newspapers, textbooks,
field trips, art supplies, assemblies, musical
instruments, or anything else that is part of
the regular school day.
DONATIONS ARE PERMITTED, but no child
or family may be required to make a
donation, and the names of those who do or
do not make a donation must be kept
confidential (except that special recognition
may be given to those who make major
donations).
YOUR CHILD MAY BE ASKED to bring
common household articles to school, but
your child cannot be penalized for failure to
bring the articles.
No school may raise, lower, or withhold
grades, report cards, or school records to
enforce payment of school fees. A school
may withhold the official student records
of a student responsible for lost or
damaged school property consistent with
Section 53A-11-806, but may not withhold
a student's records that would prevent a
student from attending school or being
properly placed in school.
SCHOOL FEES MAY ONLY BE CHARGED
FOR ACTIVITIES WHICH TAKE PLACE
BEFORE OR AFTER SCHOOL OR DURING
SCHOOL VACATIONS. If those types of
fees are charged, you receive TANF
(currently qualified for financial assistance or
food stamps), or if your child is eligible based
on income verification, receives (SSI)
Supplemental Security Income (QUALIFIED
CHILD WITH DISABILITIES), or is in the
custody of a Utah State or local
governmental agency or foster care, your
child is eligible for fee waivers (meaning that
you will not be required to pay the fee).
To find out more, contact:
Your school at:
Your district at:
( 435 ) 884-9 991
(435) 833-1900
or the following:
Utah State Office of Education
250 East 500 South
P.O. Box 144200
Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-4200
801-538-7830
If you are required to apply for fee waivers by
your school district, you will be asked,
consistent with local board policies and/or
guidelines and school district timelines, to
provide documentation of your fee waiver
eligibility.
USOE 4/25/11
Your child may also be eligible for fee
waivers if your family is having serious
financial difficulties due to circumstances
beyond your control, even though other
eligibility requirements are not met. If your
child is eligible for fee waivers, ALL fees
must be waived.
18
SCHOOL FEES NOTICE
FOR FAMILIES OF CHILDREN IN KIND.ERGARTEN THROUGH SIXTH GRADES
[IF YOU NEED HELP IN UNDERSTANDING THIS LETTER, CALL (435)884-9991 ]
The Utah Constitution prohibits the charging of fees in elementary schools. That means that if
your child is in kindergarten through grade six (even though the grade may be part of a middle school),
you cannot be charged for textbooks, classroom equipment or supplies, musical instruments, field
trips, assemblies, snacks (other than food provided through the School Lunch Program), or for anything
else that takes place or is used during the regular school day.
If you wish to purchase school pictures, yearbooks, or similar items through the school, those
costs are not fees and will not be waived. Also, if your student loses or damages school
property, the costs of replacement or repair are not fees and need not be waived.
Federal law permits schools to charge for food or milk provided as part of the School Lunch Program. If
you cannot afford to pay, you may be eligible for free or reduced price meals or milk. Your school will
give you information about applying for free or reduced price meals and milk. All information which
you provide in your application will be kept confidential.
State law and State Board of Education rules do not permit schools to charge fees for anything
that takes place during the regular school day! Fees may only be charged for programs offered
before or after school , or during school vacations. If your child is eligible based on income verification or
receives SSI payments (QUALIFIED CHILD WITH DISABILITIES), or if you are receiving TANF
(currently qualified for financial assistance or food stamps) or if the child was placed in your
home by the government as a foster child, the school must waive the fees. If you are having a
financial emergency caused by job loss, major illness, or other substantial loss of income beyond your
control you might be eligible for a waiver even if other eligibility criteria are not met. If your local
school board allows your school to charge fees, a Fee Waiver Application (Grades K-6) is
enclosed. Your school will give you additional information about fee waivers if you ask.
School funds are limited, and your school may need help. As a result, the school may ask you for
taxdeductible donations of school supplies, equipment, or money, but the school cannot
require donations or tell anyone else the names of those who have or have not made donations (except
that the school may honor those who make major donations). No child may be penalized for not
making a donation. For example, if donations are used to pay for a field trip, every child must be
allowed to go on the trip even though some may not have made a donation.
State law requires schools or school districts to require DOCUMENTATION of fee waiver eligibility if
parent must "apply for fee waivers." Local boards will have policies and/or guidelines for determining
eligibility for fee waivers.
School district administrators shall request documentation of fee waiver eligibility from those who apply
for fee waivers if fees or charges are required for non-regular school day activities, such as after-school
music or foreign language programs or Friday ski programs.
Fee waiver eligibility documentation is NOT required annually. Also, documentation shall
NOT be maintained for privacy reasons. Schools may transfer fee waiver eligibility
information to other schools to which students advance or transfer.
NOTE: If your district does not require parents in the entire district area or parents and students in
specific schools or sections of the district to "apply for fee waivers," district administrators NEED NOT
require verification of eligibility under this section.

TOOELE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S "NO NIT" POLICY:
Tooele School District "No Nit" {head lice eggs) Policy: If a student is suspected of having head lice, school
personnel may check them. If head lice are found, the parent/guardian may be notified to pick up the student. It is the
responsibility of the parent/guardian to treat the student with a head lice product and most importantly to remove all
nits and head lice from the student's hair. The student cannot be readmitted to the school if there are any nits or
head lice present. School personnel should check the student before they return to their classroom. If a class is
having an unusual high number of students with head lice, parents/ guardians may be notified and school personnel
may screen the class. Parents are encouraged to check their student's hair for nits and head lice throughout
the school year.
Closed Campus.
Grantsville Elementary School is a closed campus. As a result, once
students arrive on our premises--whether they are walking; riding bikes,
scooters, or skateboards; roller blading; being dropped off by their parents
or the bus--they are not to leave school grounds until the dismissal bell rings
at the end of the day, unless they are checked out with an adult.
STUDENTS ARE TO REMAIN ON CAMPUS ONCE THEY ARRIVE, or we
cannot accept responsibility for their supervision.
Also, please do not send money with students to spend at local
businesses during school hours. Students caught frequenting stores during
school hours will be considered truant and referred to the Grantsville City
Police Department in violation of the Tooele County School District's
Attendance Policy. Truant students will be picked up and returned to school
pending parental notification.

~GRANTSVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL~
-Policies and ProceduresAttendance of Students.
Regular attendance in school is very important to maintain continuity in the
education of children, and it has a direct impact on a student's level of academic
achievement. School attendance is a student/parent/school responsibility. It should
be primarily the responsibility of the home and student to promote consistent, daily,
punctual attendance as directed by Utah State Law, U.C.A. 53A-11-101 et.
seq. It should be primarily the responsibility of the school to provide, monitor, and
adjust appropriate curriculum and educational opportunity as directed by Utah State
Law.
The administration and staff of Grantsville Elementary School believe that
students need to be in class and on time every day. We expect students at Grantsville
Elementary School to take advantage of the educational opportunities offered to
them. Therefore, we ask that you please call the school office and let us know when
your child is going to be absent. Written excuses are required from parents for
each absence. The written excuse should be given to the student's teacher.
The following is a copy of the Tooele County School District's policy regarding
excused absences. This policy will be followed throughout the District this year.
"A student maybe excused for a reasonable period of time from school in cases
of illness, medical or dental appointments, death in the immediate family, or acts of
nature which may endanger the child. All other absences shall be unexcused unless
the building principal, prior to the absence and at the request of a parent, agrees to
excuse the student for a specific purpose.
Pupils should be excused only for that part of the school day necessary to
satisfy their specific need for absence. For pupils with excused absences, they ,shall
be afforded the opportunity to make up any school work missed as a result of the
absence. It shall be the student's responsibility to ensure that all makeup work is
completed and turned in.

2.
Authority and Purpose:
a. This policy is authorized by Utah Constitution Article X, Section 3 which
vests general control and supervision of public education in the Board,
Section 53A-l-401 (3) which permits the Board to adopt rules in accordance
with its responsibilities, and Sections 53A-ll-101 through 53A-ll-105 which
directs educational entities and designated agencies working on behalf of
children to encourage compliance with the compulsory education law and
regular school attendance for all students.
b. The purpose of this policy is to establish consistent procedure for the Tooele
School District in informing parents about compulsory education laws,
encouraging and monitoring school attendance consistent with the law, and
providing firm consequences for noncompliance. This rule encourages
meaningful incentives for parental responsibility and establishes the District
to promote ongoing truancy prevention procedures in schools for students
1-12.
3.
General Provisions:
a. The Tooele School District's truancy policy shall be available for review by
parents or interested parties upon request.

payment for truancy citations at parent/school meetings.
c. If a student moves from one Utah school district to another Utah school
district, truancy citations issued consistent with this rule may follow the
student at the receiving school district's discretion.

c. Following the sixth to eighth unexcused absence within a nine week period,
the individual designated by the school shall contact the student and parent(s)
and arrange for a meeting at the school or elsewhere to discuss the student's

Students absent from school in connection with school-sponsored activities
shall be counted as present and shall be allowed to make up all work for missed
classes. If missed work is not made up or is not acceptable, the student's grade
shall be reduced accordingly. "
Tooele County School District Policy Manual: Section V. Pages 22-23.
Ten Day Rule and Homebound Instruction.
As per State Law, any student who does not attend school for ten consecutive
days without a legitimate excuse, will be dropped from the attendance rolls.
Conversely, any student who is absent for reasons of health, accident, or injury
for more than ten consecutive school days is eligible for homebound instruction. The
school must receive written verification from a medical doctor before authorization is
given for homebound privileges. If a student qualifies for homebound instruction, the
parents should contact the main office for information on the application.
Checking Out During the School Day (Illness or Excused Absence).
If your child must go home during the school day (excused absence), we would
like you to send a note notifying the teacher and the front office.
Any student leaving school during the school day must sign out through
the front office. This policy is to provide additional safety for all students and
parents. The adult taking responsibility for the child must provide his/her name,
picture I.D. (upon request), checkout time, and the reason for taking the student out
of school.
If your child becomes ill or is injured while at school, we will call you if
you have provided us with a current phone number. For your child's sake,
please let us know how and where we are to contact you in case of an emergency. If
you are going to be out of town for the day, please make sure your child knows where
to go in case of illness or injury.
Please call us at (435) 884-9991 if your child is absent from school.
If he/she is going to be out of school for an extended period of time, we would like
to make arrangements with the teacher to pick up his/her work.
27
Student Tardies.
Students with five or more unexcused tardies in any school term will be
considered in violation of our attendance policy and a remediation process will begin.
This will include students, parents, teachers, principal, and district administrators.
Students Kept After School.
No student will be detained after regular school hours until his/her parent or
guardian has received prior notification of the need for detention, including the day
and the amount of time the child will be kept after school. If a bus student is kept
after school, arrangements for transportation home will be made at the time of the
prior notice. If a child misses the bus through his/her own choice--or neglect--the
child and/or parents will be responsible for arranging transportation home.
We also recognize the importance of after-school religious instruction, sports,
and other social activities. Students will not be kept after school when it conflicts
with religious and social activities. The teachers should be informed of any such
activity. An alternative day will be agreed upon for the child to remain after school
and complete his/her school work.

Students Visiting Classrooms.
Please do not send "guest" students to school to visit classrooms.
This results in additional work for individual teachers, and often distracts students
from their school work. We have also identified this as a safety issue in our
building.
Failing Notice Policy.
It is the desire of the board of education that all parents be notified when
their children are failing in school. Therefore, the following policy has been adopted:
"All teachers will notify parents of their child's failing performance in school
at the time the boy or girl shows indication of failure and before it is too late to
correct the situation. Notice will be given to parents by telephone or in writing. All
teachers will keep appropriate records of efforts to notify."
Tooele County School District Policy Manual; Section III , Page 18.
28
Dress Standards Policy.
The purpose of establishing dress standards is to provide an educational
atmosphere where students can feel comfortable in striving to achieve their potential.
Proper dress and grooming greatly affect the attitudes and behaviors of our student
population. Dress should never interfere with the learning environment of a school or
prove hazardous to the safety of students. Disruptions caused by immodest, unsafe,
unclean, or inappropriate dress styles cannot be tolerated in an educational setting.
With this in mind, we encourage ALL of our students to be mindful of proper dress
and grooming habits by:
1)
2)
3)
Wearing clothing that is clean, modest, and in good repair.
Wearing clothing that is safe and appropriate for school.
Wearing proper footwear.
Students will be expected to give proper attention to personal cleanliness and
neatness of dress. Proper hygienic care and clean clothing will be encouraged for
everyone. Hair should be worn to conform with good grooming standards. Learning to
comply with this dress standards policy is an integral part of each student's education.
Because of the continued problems being experienced in our society today--and
because schools are not exempt from violence, obscenity, drugs and alcohol, sexual
harassment, gang-related issues, and other concerns--educators must take steps to
decrease the risk of problems within the school environment. At Grantsville
Elementary School, we want to insure safety, mutual respect, and a positive school
climate for ALL students and the entire school community. Therefore, the following
articles of clothing are expressly prohibited at Grantsville Elementary School:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
Hats, visors, bandanas, or sunglasses inside the school building.
Flip-flops, thongs, or roller blade shoes, including footwear that
marks the floors.
Bare-midriff tops, halter tops, spaghetti-strap tops, or tube tops.
Shorts, skirts, and dresses worn any higher than mid-thigh length.
Spiked clothing, wallet chains, large neck/wrist chains, or any
other gang-related jewelry.
Apparel that poses a concern, such as baggy pants sagging below
the hips, oversized shirts, or other gang-related clothing.
Temporary tattoos are required to be covered during school hours
and/or washed off if they cannot be covered by clothing.
29
8)
9)
10)
11)
12)
13)
Any other clothing, badges, jewelry, accessories, or mode of
appearance that denotes gang or cult involvement or affiliation.
Clothing that depicts criminal activity or violence, such as weapons
or violent acts.
Clothing with obscene or suggestive images and/or messages.
Apparel, jewelry, or accessories that advertise or advocate
alcohol, drugs, or tobacco.
·
Clothing that depicts disrespect toward any other race, culture,
religion, or gender.
Clothing that is deliberately cut or mutilated.
In order to provide safety throughout the school, the Dress Standards at
Grantsville Elementary will be strictly enforced. Because certain fads and extremes
of dress and hair styling tend to attract improper attention to the individual and
sometimes interfere with the normal educational process, all students are expected to
conform to the standards of dress and grooming outlined above when participating in
ANY school activity. The only exceptions shall be for certain special days of school
activities, which are declared exempt by the school administration. THIS POLICY
APPLIES TO ALL STUDENTS AT GRANTSVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
It is our desire that this clarification will not place any undue burdens on
students or parents, but will help to clarify the policy and reinforce standards that
exhibit modesty and support mutual respect and safety for everyone at G.E.S. As
educators, we will strive to create a safe learning environment for ALL students. The
school administration and staff will ultimately be responsible for enforcing this policy.
Appropriate Dress for Cold Weather.
Please dress your child appropriately to fit the weather. ALL clothing (boots,
coats, gloves, sweaters, etc.) should be marked with the child's name. This
will help us identify items to return them to their proper owner.
Electronic Devices and Cards.
Students should not bring any disruptive electronic devices on campus, such as
CD players, boom boxes, walkmans, cell phones, pagers, walkie-talkies, electronic
games, laser pointers, etc. Such items may be confiscated by the administration and,
if so, only returned to a parent.
Also, no fantasy, playing, or trading cards will be allowed at school.

5.40 STUDENT CELL PHONE POLICY
Revised and
adopted 4/12/07
The Tooele County School District has determined that cell phones have limited or no
educational value and their use may create a distraction to the learning environment.
Student possession of cell phones in the Tooele County School District is only allowable
subject to the following rules and regulations. Strict adherence to these rules and
regulations is required. Additionally, the District restricts the use of other communication
devices (i.e. two-way radios, I-pods, pagers, PDA's and laptops with two-way messaging
capabilities) by students. The Tooele County School District reserves the right to define
the educational value of any new electronic wireless devices that may become available in
the future and to prohibit their use if they have no educational value or if such use creates
learner distraction or disruption.
Possession of a cell phone may be forfeited by not abiding by the terms of this policy.
Students shall be personally and solely responsible for the security of their cell phones.
Tooele County School District shall not assume any responsibility for theft, loss, or
damage of a cell phone, or unauthorized use of a cell phone.
Use of Cell Phones on School Grounds
Student use/possession of a cell phone depends on the grade level of the student. The
following categories outline the grade levels and authorized use/possession of cell phones
by students:
1. Elementary Schools, Kindergarten-Sixth Grade: Student use of cell phones
is prohibited during school hours. Students who bring electronic devices to school must
be prepared to store them out of sight. (Elementary students may use electronic devices
for safety/communication prior to arrival at school and upon exiting school.)
2.
Junior High Schools, Seventh Grade-Eighth Grade: Students may use cell
phones before and after school, as long as they do not create a distraction or a disruption.
Use of cell phones during school hours is prohibited and they will be powered off and
concealed and secured in lockers during the academic day. I f a student needs to make a
call during the academic day, the student may make the call in the office. Cell phones
are strictly prohibited in classrooms, locker rooms, restrooms and shower facilities.
3.
High Schools, Ninth Grade-Twelfth Grade: Students may use cell phones
before and after school, as long as they do not create a distraction or a disruption.
Students may also use cell phones during passing time between classes and during the
lunch break, as long as they do not create a distraction or disruption or cause the student
to be tardy for the next class period. Cell phone usage is strictly prohibited in
classrooms, locker rooms, restrooms and shower facilities. Use of cell phones during
class time is strictly prohibited and they will be powered off and concealed.
4.
Camera or Picture Cell Phones: Because of the threat to privacy and the
integrity of the educational program, the use of a camera or picture cell phone is subject
to the following rule: the use of a camera function of a cell phone is strictly prohibited on
school premises or at school activities. Violation of this provision will cause the
revocation of the cell phone use for the school year.
5.
Consequences for inappropriate cell phone usage will be determined by each
school and identified in the school's parent/student handbook.
31
Toys at School. .
While we appreciate the fact that most children are willing to share, bringing
toys to school creates nothing but distractions for students and staff, as well as
causing problems in the classroom and at recess for everyone involved. Toys get
broken, lost, stolen, and kids fight over them, not to mention the additional safety
hazards that some toys create at our school.
TOYS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT SCHOOL, with the notable exception of things
brought to share with classes for show-and-tell. These things should be checked in
with the classroom teacher first thing in the morning and picked up on the way out
that same day. Grantsville Elementary School will not be held liable for any damage
caused to items brought onto our campus that may get lost, stolen, or broken.
ALL toys brought to school--with the exception of those things checked in with
the classroom teacher in advance for show-and-tell as described above--will be
confiscated and the parents will be required to come pick them up. Please help us to
create a safe and positive learning environment for ALL our students.
Lost and Found Items.
Throughout the school year many personal items (coats, shoes, hats, gloves,
lunch boxes, jewelry, glasses, etc.) are left by the students. If your child loses
anything, please check in the school lost and found area immediately.
Before an article may be claimed, the article must be accurately identified by
the owner. Therefore, please put your child's name on all backpacks,
coats, gloves, hats, lunch boxes, etc. This will help us to return lost items
to your children. The school will not be held responsible for any valuables lost at
school.
Textbooks and Library Materials.
Textbooks are checked out to all students by the Tooele County School
District Board of Education. Once a book is assigned to a student, the student
is responsible for that book. Lost or damaged books must be paid for by the
student.
Also, overdue books cause additional record-keeping problems for the Media
Center staff, and they also deprive other students from accessing those materials.
Students are responsible for all lost books. Additional books will not be checked out
to the student until all overdue book(s) are returned.
32
Use of the Telephone.
The telephone in the main office is for school business only. Children
are discouraged from using the telephone, except in emergency situations. Students
must have a phone pass from their teacher in order to use the phone during the school
day.
In order to relieve pressure on the telephone, we ask you to arrange with your
children ahead of time where they should go after school, or the pickup schedule if
they are in car pools. As much as possible, the telephone will be off-limits to students
calling for rides or asking permission to go to a friend's house after school.
You can call your child during the school day, but we discourage this practice.
While we understand that parents may feel the need to get in touch with their
students during the school day, we do not call children out of class to the phone
except for emergencies. The nature of the emergency must be specified to a school
official before classroom activities will be interrupted.
Also, please do not ask the office staff to relay messages to your child unless
the situation is urgent. We cannot stop the instruction of all the other students for
any reason other than an emergency. We try to limit all classroom interruptions in
order to facilitate the productive use of instructional learning time.
Addressing Teachers and Staff Members.
Teachers and staff members deserve respect. Students should address them
in the accepted manner (Mr./Mrs./Miss) during school hours. First names and
nicknames should not be used by students when addressing school personnel.
Appointments with Teachers.
Parents are always welcome at Grantsville Elementary School. During the
course of the school year , you may wish to confer with one of the teachers or to visit
a classroom. We would appreciate it if you would call and make an appointment in
advance. Parents visiting the school must have a PASS from the main office.
A teacher's primary responsibility is to teach the students in the classroom.
Potential problems can arise if parents go into the classroom during school time to
talk with teachers. Therefore, no one should go to a teacher's room without
first making an appointment. We also ask that parents respect teachers' privacy
outside of school and discourage calling teachers at home before or after school
hours.
33
Placement Requests.
Parents requesting specific teachers for their children has become an
increasing problem. As we grow, it is very difficult for us t o establish classes that
are fair and equitable for both students and teachers, while continuing to try and
satisfy all requests. It is inherently unfair to "stack" some classes with requests for
certain teachers, while the majority of our students are left to fend for themselves
in the class placement process. In point of fact, many students have been denied
access to the teachers they need the very most because these classes have been
filled in advance. As a result, Grantsville Elementary School will no longer be
accepting placement request forms for the 2011- 2012 school year and beyond.
At Grantsville Elementary School, we believe that there are no bad teachers.
A great deal of thought and evaluation is given to placing each of our students in the
appropriate class. However, parents who still feel it is necessary for us to be aware
of a child's specific needs concerning his/her placement for the next school year need
to write a letter to the Principal expressing their concerns (e.g. accommodations
related to a 504, health care plan, or .E.P.; or a previous bad experience with a
specific teacher). As always, parents are welcome to schedule an appointment with
the Principal to discuss their concerns at any time. We really appreciate your support
in working with your child, the teacher, and the administration in order to make each
child's class placement a successful and rewarding experience.
Animals on Campus.
Bringing animals on campus is a direct violation of the Utah State Health
Department Code providing for a safe school environment. Animals at school pose
some obvious safety hazards. For example, the potential always exists for someone
getting bit, as well as hidden diseases· that may be carried and communicable to our
staff and student body, either directly or indirectly. Also, animals and their waste
products c-arry other smaller insects such as fleas, mites, and ticks, not to mention
the mess that their feces and urine leave all over our campus when left unattended.
Examples of animals brought onto campus that pose potential threats include-
but are not limited to--birds, cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, and all forms of rodents
(including guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and rats). Grantsville Elementary School is not
responsible and will not be held liable for damage caused by animals brought onto our
campus. In the event that animals are l e f t u nattended, the Grantsville City Police
Department will be notified immediately and the animal control officer will come to
pick up the animal. The owners will be held accountable for any fines and/or damages.
The notable exception to this rule would include animals brought for show-and
tell. In this circumstance, students should obtain prior permission to bring their pet
to school, and animals should be provided constant supervision by the custodial parent
or guardian, who is also responsible for any related cleanup that may be involved. The
animal's time on campus should be limited to the appointed show-and-tell time, and
should not be brought and dumped for the day.
34
Fundraising Activities and the Collection of Money.
ALL fundraising activities must be pre-approved by the administration.
A completed fundraising form must be submitted prior to the beginning of the activity.
All funds received--regardless of the source--should be deposited directly with the
school financial secretary. Also, any expenditures of monies must be conducted
through the use of a completed purchase order and/or a school check, including all
proper documentation, which may be obtained through the school financial secretary.
Crossing Streets.
We would like to encourage you to make your children aware of the inherent
dangers involved when crossing streets. We are most concerned with those streets that
border our school: Park Street , Apple Street, Center Street, and especially Main
Street, with the large numbers of students who must cross it. Please have your children
cross Main Street only at the crosswalk immediately North of the school . The
city provides a crossing guard to help them safely across this street. Also,
please be aware of the newly-posted speeding restrictions and stop signs.
Bus Zones.
There is a designated bus loading zone on the South/West side of our school.
The buses unload students between 8:25-8:45 a.m. each day, and load them at
3:30 p.m. On Wednesdays, ALL bus students load at 12:30 p.m.
PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE BUS LOADING ZONE AT ANY TIME! PLEASE
DRIVE WITH EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PASSING THIS AREA!! Also, please do not
drop off or pick up students in our faculty and staff parking lot, and please do
not park in our handicapped parking areas unless you have the proper permit.
Parents dropping off and picking up their children are encouraged to use the
designated area in front of our school, especially for younger children. We also have
access points for children to enter and exit our campus on the other three sides of our
school, including Apple Street (South), Center Street (West), and Main Street
(North), with corresponding parking designated on the school side of the road for
drop off and pick up only. Also, please be aware of the crosswalks that border our
school block, and do not park too close to them, as this may impair the vision of
oncoming drivers as students enter and exit our campus.

-IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONParents, please make sure you are aware of the safety information which is
printed below. Read through the material and study the maps very carefully, and then
share this information with your children.
Directions for walking safely to and from Grantsville Elementary School
1)
The black-lined streets (shown by arrows) on the attached map have
been designated as the safest and most direct walking routes to
Grantsville Elementary School. Each parent and child should decide
which of the streets are closest and easiest to get to from their
respective homes. The children walking to and from school should get to
one of the designated streets as soon as possible after leaving their
home, or at the end of the school day when leaving the school building.
The designated streets lead to the adult-controlled .crosswalk, a
marked crosswalk, or intersections with stop signs.
2)
Children coming to school from the SOUTHEAST side of MAIN STREET
should cross the street at the corner of PARK and APPLE, or the corner
of PARK and MAIN, and then enter through the FRONT doors.
Alternatively, students con walk onto the playground and/or follow school
sidewalks to get to the door nearest their classrooms. Students walking
from the NORTH side of MAIN STREET from EAST or WEST must
cross at the school crosswalk with the crossing guard.
Children coming to school from the SOUTHWEST side of MAIN

We ask that all vehicles approaching the school use EXTREME CAUTION
at all times, but especially during the times our children are coming to
and from school. We have many after-school activities that also involve
children walking home or being dropped off or picked up. Please drive
slowly and watch for children who may dart out in front of you.
4)
We have one adult crossing guard at the MAIN STREET crosswalk.
Please make a "practice walk" with your children to make sure that they
know how to cross the street using a crosswalk, and to make sure they
use the crosswalk with the crossing guard if they must cross MAIN
STREET.
5)
A safety committee is organized at the school and is currently looking
for ways to improve the safety of our students. We are. currently
working on ways to improve the traffic flow as we drop off students in
the morning and pick up students in the afternoon. We are also watching
and monitoring the traffic flow on PARK STREET (East of the school), on
APPLE STREET (South of the school), on CENTER STREET (West of the
school), and on MAIN STREET (North of the school). Again, please do
not park, drop off, or pick up students in the bus zone.
6)
Please encourage your children who ride bikes, roller blades, scooters, or
skateboards to ride on the right-hand side of the" road and never in
the middle. Whenever possible, they should cross at intersections, or
where the crossing guard is stationed. They should always walk their
bikes or scooters across the street and while on campus. When there
are children on the sidewalk areas being dropped off or picked up by the
buses, children should not be riding their bikes, roller
blades, scooters. or skateboards whenever other children are
present on the school grounds. Please train your children to be
cautious at all the streets and intersections where there is no adult
supervision. We also encourage all students to wear bike helmets and
protective padding when riding bikes, roller blades, scooters, or
skateboards.
7)
All students, parents, and staff members should follow the traffic-flow
patterns and guidelines. Crossing guards, police officers, teachers, and
volunteers must be respected and their directions followed as they
fulfill their responsibilities. Remember, they are working to protect ALL
of our children.
40
*Safety issues for parents and students to remember:
1)
All students, parents, and staff members should follow the directions of the
crossing guard at all times.
2)
Parents should drop off and pick up their children in the designated drop
off and pick up area in front of the school. or in the
designated parking areas on the school side of the streets that
border our campus on the North, South, and West sides. Parents, please
drop your students off only in the designated areas.
3)
Do not drop off or pick up your children in the SCHOOL BUS ZONE.
The times posted are 8:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. on school days.
4)
All bicycles, roller blades, scooters, and skateboards must be walked on
school property. Please walk bikes to the bike racks. All bikes should be
locked during the school day for security purposes. No one may ride roller

Gum.
Grantsville Elementary School is a "No Gum" school. The problem with chewing
gum at school is that--once allowed in--it gets everywhere from the carpet to
underneath chairs, desks, and tables, and it is extremely difficult to clean up. We
have had increasing problems with students bringing gum to school and not only
chewing it, but sharing it with other students. We respectfully request your help as
parents to ensure that students are not bringing or chewing gum on campus during the
school day, and we appreciate your support of our enforcement of this rule at school.

increasing proportionally to accommodate larger crowds--we would ask that you please
review and respect the following rules prior to attending ALL G.E.S. programs.
1) ALL Grantsville Elementary School rules apply. In the absence of a specific rule,
common courtesy and the spirit of good citizenship applies.
2)
East and South doors will open promptly at 6:00 p.m. on the night of each
performance --regardless of weather conditions--so please plan accordingly.

also, please remember that G.E.S. is a tobacco-free campus.
4) Please tum off ALL electronic devices (e.g. cell phones and pagers) prior to entering
the gym and for the duration of the program, as these can distract our performers.
5) Everything that breathes must have a ticket and a seat--NO EXCEPTIONS!
6) ALL ticket arrangements should be made in advance. Tickets are color-coded to
specific performances. Therefore, those who show up with the wrong-colored
ticket--or without a ticket altogether--will be asked to wait at the end of the line
until we have seated ALL ticketed patrons first. We will then try to seat as many
people as possible prior to the performance, based upon remaining available
seating; but without the appropriately colored ticket, there are NO GUARANTEES!!
7) We would ask that all those children (elementary school-aged) who have already
had the opportunity to attend one of the programs during the school day not
attend any of the night-time performances. We also discourage pre-kindergarten
aged children from attending the evening performances at all as they are designed
for the enjoyment of parents, grandparents, and adult family members.

accompanied by an adult at all times, and bathroom breaks should be limited to

-SAFE AND DRUG FREE SCHOOLSThe goal of the Tooele County School District regarding school safety is to be
proactive. The District will attempt to anticipate problems to ensure the safety of
ALL students and staff, the school and its facilities, and the community in general.
ALL students and parents will be required to sign a form indicating that they· have
received a copy of the Tooele County School District's "Safe School Conduct

year. In order to assure the general public of our concern for school security and to
create an environment free of intimidation and coercion, the following procedures
prohibiting inappropriate behavior will be incorporated.
Weapon Control.

firearm on or within 1,000 feet of public, private, or parochial school grounds. Those
convicted of a Gun-Free School Zones Act violation face imprisonment for up to five
years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both.
Similarly, if school officials determine that objects may be used as weapons
which pose an immediate threat of harm or injury to students or staff, these objects
will be confiscated. This includes ALL chains, pocket knives, and any other items that.
could be used as weapons.
Alcohol. Drugs. and Tobacco.
Tooele County School District prohibits any student use, possession,
distribution, sale, or being under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances,
imitation controlled substances, and any other similarly harmful substances, or drug
paraphernalia. This policy applies to the actions of students during school hours,
before and after school while on school property, at all school- or district-sponsored
events, and when the actions affect the mission or operation of the Tooele Public
Schools. In addition, any prescribed controlled medications must be administered
through the school nurse or the main office. All violations of this policy will be

Fighting and Violent or Disruptive Behavior.
The staff at Grantsville Elementary School strives to provide a quality
academic environment for the emotional, intellectual, physical, and social
development of our students. Whether in the classroom or elsewhere on campus,
those behaviors which disrupt the educational atmosphere of the school are
considered inappropriate.
Students are encouraged and expected to "seek assistance" in our
building before a problem occurs. Conflicts are resolved through seeking
assistance, not through aggressive behavior. Grantsville Elementary School has a
zero tolerance policy for aggressive behavior. Any acts of violence will result in
immediate parental notification and the appropriate law enforcement agencies will
be involved.
t
56
Criminal Trespass.
· Under Utah Law, a person is guilty of a misdemeanor if he/she enters or
remains on school property without authorization when notice against such entry or
remaining has been given personally by a school official , or by signs posted to prevent
trespassers, or by a current order of suspension or expulsion (SS 53A-3-503).
Adults and students without lawful business on school premises will be
instructed to leave by school officials. In the event that adults or students violate
trespass laws or do not comply with the direct order of the school officials to vacate
said premises, school officials may notify the appropriate law enforcement officials
and/or the courts, as needed.
Bomb Threats and False Fire Alarms.
Bomb threats and falsely set fire alarms are not only a serious disruption of
school time, but they also present a danger to all students, faculty, and staff within
the building. Moreover, these issues constitute felony offenses.
Grantsville Elementary School has adopted zero tolerance toward anyone
involved with bomb threats or falsely set fire alarms. Students engaged in such
activity are subject to suspension and .the filing of criminal charges.
Search and Seizure.
School authorities are responsible for promoting the safe and effective
operation of the school , and they are charged with protecting the health and safety
of ALL students and staff. The following search and seizure guidelines are provided
to ensure the privacy of individuals and the safety and welfare of ALL students.
1)
Students shall be free from searches unless there is reasonable cause
to believe that they are concealing something that may be of immediate
danger to the rest of the student population or staff. School officials
may request students to remove all items from their pockets and/or
other personal property.
57
2)
.Desks, lo ckers, and all other student storage facilities remain the
. property of the school are legally subject to inspection and search
if a school official reasonably suspects that a particular desk or locker
may contain items that are. considered to be dangerous, prohibited, or
stolen. Students should be aware that their assigned desks and lockers
are accessible to school officials and may be subject to search at the
discretion of the administration. This is in accordance with the policies,
rules, and regulations of the Tooele County School District.
Desks and lockers are not designed for the storage of money or other valuables.
The students are responsible for the desks and lockers assigned to them and for their
own personal property. Valuable property should not be brought to school.
Students that store valuables in their desks or lockers do so at their own risk. The
school IS NOT responsible for items that are lost or stolen from desks or lockers.
Theft.
Students of Grantsville Elementary School are expected to show respect for
each other's personal property and school equipment. Theft is a crime and will not be
tolerated. Any incidence of theft will result in immediate parental notification, and
reinstatement for all losses will be required. Also, depending upon the seriousness of
the offense, suspension may occur and the local law enforcement agency will become
involved if deemed necessary by school officials.
Destruction of School Property.
Students are expected to take pride and ownership in our building, grounds, and
facilities at Grantsville Elementary School. Students who willfully destroy school
property through vandalism, littering, or c a relessness will obligate their parents to
be financially responsible for the repair and/or replacement of the damaged property.
The administration may elect to have the student complete community service hours
through the school as part of their restitution. Law enforcement officials may be
involved and the student could be referred to Juvenile Court for vandalism.
58
Obscenity. Pornography, Profanity. and Vulgarity.
The faculty, staff and student-body should not have to be exposed or
expected to endure obscenity, pornography, profanity, or vulgarity. Therefore, any
and all forms of abusive language, obscene gestures, immoral or indecent acts,
profanity, or vulgarity, whether verbally, in pictures, or in writing, is deemed
inappropriate within the school environment and is expressly prohibited.
Computer Usage and Fraud.
Computers are used at Grantsville Elementary School to facilitate the
educational process. Copyrighted software has been licensed to GES for use. The
software may be used by authorized users only while qualified as authorized users.
All software may be used only in accordance with the license restrictions contained
in the master license agreements.
Accessing or altering private computer information is illegal and will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Students who violate computer policies
will lose their computer privileges. The cost of restoring the computer hardware,
software, or data will be charged to the student.
Discipline.
Tooele County School District affirms that every student is a person of value,
and is committed to helping each student reach his/her potential. In order to be
successful in teaching basic academic skills, we must also teach basic behavior skills.
The student who develops appropriate behaviors will be better prepared to learn and
to achieve his/her potential.
As a staff, we believe that the application of discipline should be directed
toward improving individual and group behaviors, and toward creating and maintaining
an atmosphere conducive to learning, order, safety, and growth. Teachers have the
right to teach, students have the right to learn, and each person should strive to
make this possible.
As citizens of Grantsville Elementary School, with regard to our own welfare
and safety and the protection of our school building, we have the responsibility to see
that the rules and regulations are followed.

SECTION XI
SAFE SCHOOL
CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE POLICY
Section 11.31 Adopted 11/09/04
Revised 2/03/98 and Adopted 3/03/98
11.1 PHILOSOPHY
Tooele School District affirms that every student is a person of value, and is committed to help
each student reach his or her potential.
In order to be successful in teaching basic skills the school must also teach basic behavior skills.
The student who has learned a repertoire of appropriate behaviors will be prepared to learn and to
achieve to his or her potential.
The application of discipline should be directed toward improving individual and group behavior,
and toward creating and maintaining an atmosphere conducive to learning, order, safety, and
control. This method of obtaining discipline places major emphasis on training, individual
responsibility, and mutual respect. Discipline so conceived is developmental rather than punitive.
Based upon faith in the worth and dignity of each individual, discipline becomes a guide rather
than a punitive device.
Should corrective action become necessary, the measures taken should be positive, constructive,
fair, and directed toward educational ends. All concerned must understand that the purpose of
such action is to teach appropriate, alternative behavior. As with every other learned skill, some
students seem to acquire behavior skills automatically while others require extensive remedial
assistance. Schools must expect every range of ability in this area as in every other.
The Tooele County School District Board of Education also recognizes that the use, possession,
distribution, or sale of alcohol, drugs, or drug paraphernalia constitutes a hazard to the welfare of
students, staff, and education programs, and is illegal under the laws of the State of Utah.
Alcohol and drug education programs which provide students with the opportunity to build skills,
enhance self-concepts, and assimilate information on the harmful effects of alcohol and drugs will
be included in the district K-12 curriculum. These programs are designed to have a positive
effect upon student values and aid in preventing the abuse of these substances.
The Board supports the concept that parents share a responsibility with the school in attempting to
prevent or intervene with problems of substance abuse, and further, that parents should seek help
from public and private agencies when their child has substance abuse problems.
11.2 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The primary purpose of education in our country is to maintain, perpetuate and improve our
American way of life. The school is the social agency through which this purpose is to be
achieved. In order to maintain a school "climate" in which the children and youth of our country
can live, learn, and flourish, it is vitally necessary for all students to assume responsibility for
their behavior while enrolled in the public schools in Tooele County.
Section XI
XI-2
Therefore, in order to aid students in making appropriate decisions governing their behavior, a
standard of conduct identifying rules and procedures has been established.
While the rules are not intended to be exclusive, they are illustrative of the types of behavior that
are inconsistent with the proper maintenance and function of an effective program in our school
system.
These standards of student conduct are to be applied and enforced in addition to other rules in
effect at any individual school in our system with due respect for the constitutional rights of every
student.
The objective of these standards is to establish in one compilation such rules with regard to the
conduct of students in the Tooele County Schools which have been deemed appropriate and
necessary for the maintenance of a wholesome “school climate" and which shall be applicable to
all students.
11.3 GENERAL DISCIPLINE AUTHORITY
If a particular type of conduct has the effect of disrupting the learning atmosphere, it should be
subject to regulation. The Board retains discretion in promulgating regulations for the proper
conduct of students.
This policy is adopted by the Board of Education of the Tooele County School District pursuant
to Utah Code Annotated Sections 53A-11-901 through 907 and Gun Free Schools Act 18 U.S.C.
Section 3351. It is the intent of the Board to provide every student in the district with the
opportunity to learn in an environment which is safe, conducive to the learning process, and free
from unnecessary disruption. The Board has invited and received input from district employees,
parents and guardians of students, students, and the community. The Board now adopts this
policy, based on the principle that every student is expected to follow rules of conduct, and to
show respect for others and to obey persons in authority at the schools.
Utah Code Annotated § 53A-1402(1)(b)
Utah Admin. R. 300-609-3
11.4 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The Board hereby delegates the authority to school administrators to take the necessary steps to
provide a safe environment for learning to take place.
Students should be aware that certain behavior, outlined herein and in other policies of the
district, is unacceptable and will result in disciplinary action. The Superintendent and his/her
designees will enforce district policies with the aim to make students and their parents or
guardians understand that unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated and will be dealt with in
accordance with the Board's discipline policies.
The building principal of each attendance area in Tooele County School District, under the
supervision of the Superintendent of Schools, is authorized by the Board of Education to establish
individualized rules and regulations deemed necessary for the proper operation and administration
of his/her school. Such rules and regulations may supplement the rules established in this policy.
Building principals should consult with faculty members, community groups, and in areas of
practicality with student councils, in the preparation of a school's rules and regulations.
Section XI
XI-3
..
The Board hereby delegates its authority to suspend students to principals and vice-principals in
each school in the district for up to ten days. The Board hereby delegates its authority to suspend
a student for up to one school year to the District's Superintendent or Superintendent's designee.

Since the Tooele City Pool at the Tooele City Park has been leased by the School District and is used
as an instructional setting and the Tooele City Park is regularly used by students for parking and other
school purposes, the Board of Education hereby designates the Tooele City Park and adjoining parking
areas as a part of the campus of the Tooele High School. Students at the Tooele City Park
and adjoining parking areas are subject to the jurisdiction of the Tooele County Schools, their

these committees it is suggested that schools utilize their student councils and faculties to
develop and strengthen desirable behaviors.
5. Procedures
This discipline policy should be implemented through a series of conferences designed to
sequentially enlarge the circle of school-community resources needed to help students having
difficulty learning appropriate school behaviors. The school policy should provide for such
students to be advised, counseled, restricted, and suspended while focusing on teaching the
desired behaviors. If it is ultimately agreed that when a student's behavior has become
habitually disruptive or that the student will not profit from the school experience, that such a
student shall be recommended for release from school.
6. Conferences

shall not be excluded from classes for the period of suspension provided the student's
parent or guardian attends every class with the student. If the parent or guardian fails
to attend a class period with the student, or does not agree to attend class with the
student, then the student will be excluded from classes and school activities from that
time forward for the remaining period of suspension.

the Student, his or her parents or guardians and a representative to attend and
participate. Written Notice of the hearing shall be provided by the Superintendent.
The Board may rely solely on the record of the hearing conducted by the
Superintendent or it may allow additional evidence to be presented upon good cause
shown. Upon conclusion of the hearing the Board may expel the student from school

IDEA (Individuals With Disabilities Act) and/or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Section XI
XI-16
The procedures outlined within the main body of the discipline policy apply to students with
disabilities. This Section outlines specific requirements/safeguards which must be made in
accordance with Utah State Board of Education Rules and Federal Regulations.
11.24 SHORT TERM SUSPENSION FROM SCHOOL-STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
1. A student with disabilities may be suspended from school for a period not to exceed 10
official school days if the School District, after following the procedures in paragraph 2 below
determines that:
a. Maintaining the student in his/her current placement is substantially likely to result in
injury to self or to other persons; or
b. The student has engaged in conduct which would otherwise warrant suspension or
removal for a non-disabled student.
2. When making the determination to suspend a student with a disability for a period not to
exceed 10 official school days for disciplinary reasons, the school district shall immediately
(within 24 hours) provide the student and the student's parents with notice of the disciplinary
charges and the evidence supporting the charges and the decision to suspend the student.
UT State Bd. of Ed. Rules p. 88 IV Q 1,2
11.25 LONG TERM SUSPENSION FROM SCHOOL-STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
A suspension of more than ten school days in duration constitutes a change in placement and requires
that prior notice be given to parents. The maximum often school days shall be cumulative, in a given
year.
1. In the event the school district needs to suspend a student for more than ten official school
days, the school district will request parental written approval for continued suspension, or
agreement to an interim alternative educational setting placement.
2. During a period of continued suspension, the school district shall (1) provide homebound
educational services, (2) complete a formal reevaluation, and (3) conduct an IEP meeting.
The period of continued suspension shall not exceed thirty (30) calendar days.
3. In the event the school district needs to suspend a student for more than ten official school
days and the school is not able to obtain parental agreement for an interim placement or
continued suspension, the school district may request an order from a hearing officer for a
change of placement, or apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for permission to do so.
A court of competent jurisdiction is a court to which a state level review decision can be
appealed pursuant to Section 615 of IDEA.
4. Either before or not later than ten (10) days after taking a disciplinary action described in
section 11.25, the IEP team shall conduct a functional behavioral assessment and implement a
Section XI
XI - 17
behavior intervention plan. If the child already had a plan the IEP team shall review the plan
and modify it, as necessary, to address the behavior.
5. If a disciplinary action which would result in a change of placement is contemplated a
manifestation determination review shall be conducted of the relationship between the child's
disability and the behavior subject to the disciplinary action. This shall be done within ten
(10) days of the decision to take disciplinary action.
UT State Bd. of Ed. Rules p. 89 IV Q 3
11.26 EMERGENCY REMOVAL-STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Where the student poses an immediate threat to self or others, the school district may promptly
suspend him/her for up to ten school days, without prior notice. As soon as possible (no longer
than 24 hours), parents will be provided with notice and justification for such action, and
procedures begun to remediate the situation. A suspension of more than ten school days
constitutes a change of placement, governed by the long term suspension section above.
UT State Bd. of Ed. Rules p. 89 IV Q 3
11.27 EMERGENCY SITUATIONS-STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
If an emergency situation arises that requires the immediate use of intrusive procedures
(involvement of Levels III or IV of the Least Restrictive Behavioral Interventions*) to protect the
individual or others from harm, staff must notify the student's parents within 24 hours. A copy of
the Emergency Contact Form** must be submitted to the local Director of Special Education for
each emergency occurrence. This form must be submitted within 24 hours of the incident. If an
"emergency" behavior occurs more than once per week, two times in a month, or a total of four
times in a year, a program must be designed to correct the problem behavior, and the behavior
must no longer be considered a crisis and must be addressed in the IEP and through the Local
Human Rights Committee procedures.
*The "LRBI" manual may be obtained from any administrator, special educator, or the Director
of Special Ed.
** The Emergency Contact form can be obtained from the LRBI manual, any special educator,

11.28 STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND WEAPONS, POSSESSION OF A
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, SALE OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
If a student with disabilities brings a weapon to school or a school function, knowingly possesses
or uses illegal drugs or sells or solicits the sale of a controlled substance while at school or a
school function, he/she may be automatically suspended from school for up to ten school days.
During the period of suspension the IEP team shall meet to determine the programming (interim
IEP) and physical placement for a 45 calendar-day "alternative education placement". The
student is placed in the alternative education placement for 45 calendar days. (if the parents
request a due process hearing, the student remains in the alternative education placement until the
completion of all due process proceedings.) During the 45-day period, the IEP team convenes
Section XI
XI-18
again for a "manifestation determination" to determine whether the incident is related to, or
caused by, the student's disability. If there is no relationship between the incident and the
student's disability, the school can move to expel the student under the Gun-Free Schools Act for
a minimum of one calendar year.** If there is a relationship between the incident and the
student's disability, the school cannot impose a long-term suspension or expulsion under the Gun
Free Schools Act. The school may convene the IEP team to consider a change of placement to a
more restrictive setting, get the parents' agreement to a change of placement, or go to court to
obtain an injunction to remove the student from school (If the student is or is substantially likely
to be a danger to himself or others).
**Educational services may not cease even if the student has been expelled. Please note also that
the superintendent or designee can waive the expulsion on a case-by-case basis.

1. All students, disabled and non-disabled, are entitled to certain rights before they can be
excluded from public school for any period of time.

is a "change of placement" for a disabled student that cannot be made without following the
procedures of the Act.
3. Exclusion of a disabled student for more than 10 days cumulatively in a school year may
constitute a change in placement.
4. Short term suspensions (less than 10 days) can be utilized with disabled students, but cannot
be abused.

child's disability and behavior subject to disciplinary action involving a change of placement.
6. Even where the exclusion of a disabled student is made according to the rules, there can be no
complete cessation of services during the expulsion period.
7. No matter how dangerous or disruptive a disabled student might be, a school agency cannot,
on its own, expel the student.
8. A school agency can go to court to obtain a court order to temporarily exclude a dangerous or

11.31 RISK ASSESSMENT FOR STUDENTS
Approved 11/09/04
Whenever students indicate that they present a risk or danger to themselves or others, the
Tooele County School District has the responsibility to assess that risk and determine the
educational placement of the student.
1.
Section XI
Definitions:
XI-21
a.
Risk/Dangerousness: Are conditions and represent a propensity for an
individual to exhibit some intentional harmful behavior towards him/herself or
others.
b.
Risk Assessment: is a procedure to evaluate the level of supervision or
monitoring required to manage a specific student.
Predicts Risk Evaluator: a trained evaluator that is appointed by the Tooele
County School District Case Management Team (CMT) to give the Risk
Assessment and to respond to the referral questions assessing risk to self/or
others.
c.
d.

School Sexual Harassment/Assault Worksheet: are the assessment work sheets
used by evaluators.( Hawks, Rick D. Predicts Risk Threat of School Violence
User Manual: a Model for Assessing Imminent Risk. Ogden, Utah: Hawks
1995).
Case Management Team (CMT): is a Tooele County School District team
composed of district and school administrators who review principal
recommendations for student placement. CMT is the approving authority for
any Predicts Risk Assessment.
Hearing Officer: a district administrator appointed by the superintendent to
continue the due process for any student being suspended for more than ten
(10) days.
2.
Considerations for Referral for a Risk Assessment:
a.
Does this student have more problems than others of similar age?
b.
Are the issues more severe in intensity and frequency than those of similar
age?
c.
Has the student violated the safe school policy?
d.
Is the student’s behavior generally appropriate for the age group?
e.
Are there issues in the student’s environment that may help explain the
behaviors?
f.
Have there been dramatic changes.in the student’s behavior?
g.
Has the student made threats or made comments about harming self or others?
h.
Additional considerations:
withdrawn, isolated, secretive, belligerent/uncooperative, physically or
sexually inappropriate, moody/irritable, bed-wetting, threatening others,
preoccupied with weapons/explosives, assaultive/violent behavior,
cruelty to animals, fire starting, lack of empathy, prior self-harm.
3.
Risk Assessment Procedure:
a.
The principal makes a referral to the Case Management Team (CMT) for a
Risk Assessment based upon the considerations found in 11.31.2.
b.
The CMT approves or denies the reason for the Predicts Risk Assessment
during regular team meetings, or during emergency team meetings, or if
necessary the director responsible for CMT can make the decision.
Section XI

c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
If approved, the CMT contacts the trained Predicts Risk Evaluator and has the
person coordinate with the requesting principal.
After conferencing with the principal the Predicts Risk Evaluator establishes
an appointment with the parent and the student. The parent gives permission
for the Predicts Risk Assessment to be completed. The parent initials the
limited confidentiality block, which indicates that the information can be shared
with school personnel and others who have a need to know. The parent is
welcome to be present during the assessment.
The Predicts Risk Evaluator completes the assessment and makes an estimate
the risk the student presents in his/her current placement. The Evaluator
explains this information to the parent and student. The evaluator submits a
copy of the assessment and also a written copy of the evaluation to the
principal and to the Case Management Team.
The principal and the CMT use the Predicts Risk Assessment and other
information to determine their recommendation as to the placement of the
student and the conditions of that placement. If the recommendation is to
place the student out of school for more than ten days, the Hearing Officer is
notified; so, the student’s due process may continue. The Hearing Officer will
use the Predicts Risk Assessment in identifying the determinations for the
student.
If the student is suspended from school for more than ten (10) days he/she may
be required to complete another Predicts Risk Assessment before returning to
school.
4.
Students with Disabilities:
a.
Students with disabilities follow the procedures listed in 11.23.1-11.29.8. The
I.E.P.. Team could request a Predicts Risk Assessment. In specific safe school

determine if the complaint constitutes sexual harassment as specified by this policy. A
written report will be forwarded to the Human Rights Officer which shall include the
results of the screening. Failure to forward any sexual harassment report or complaint
as provided herein will result in disciplinary action. If the complaint involves the
building principal or an employee sexually harassing a student, the complaint shall be

against whom the complaint is filed as much as possible, consistent with the School District's
legal obligations and the necessity to investigate allegations of harassment and take
disciplinary action when the conduct has occurred.
IV.
Investigation and Recommendation
The Human Rights Officer or the Superintendent in the absence of the Human Rights Officer,
upon receipt of a report or complaint alleging sexual harassment shall authorize an
investigation to be conducted by trained district employees or by a third party designated by

determines that the complaint does not constitute sexual harassment. The Human Rights
Officer shall notify the principal or other person who submitted the complaint to the Human
Rights Officer of the decision to not initiate an investigation. The principal shall notify the
complainant of the decision and is authorized to take any other appropriate measures to
handle the complaint. The investigation shall provide a written report of the status of the
investigation within ten (10) working days to the Human Rights Officer or, if the
investigation involves either the Human Rights Officer or the Superintendent, to the President
of the School Board, if the president authorized the investigation.
A pool of four male and female staff members should be trained in the investigation of sexual
harassment allegations. The training will be conducted through the office of the Human Rights
Officer.
In determining whether alleged conduct constitutes sexual harassment, the responsible parties
shall consider the surrounding circumstances, the nature of the sexual advances, relationships
between the parties involved and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred utilizing
established district reporting forms.
The investigation shall consist of personal interviews with the complainant, the individuals
against whom the complaint is filed, and others who may have knowledge of the alleged

Upon receipt of a recommendation that the complaint is valid, the School District will
take such action as appropriate based on the results of the investigation.
B.
The result of the investigation of each complaint filed under these procedures will be
reported in writing to the complainant and the accused by the School District. The
report will document any disciplinary action taken as a result of the complaint.
Disciplinary consequences shall be discussed with the Human Rights Officer prior to
these actions being implemented.
C.
If the complainant is not satisfied with the School District's action, they may within
thirty (30) days of notice of the action, ask for a hearing with the School Board.
D.
A separate confidential record of all sexual harassment complaints, findings and
resulting actions, shall be maintained by the Human Rights Officer in a protected area.
If the records involve the Human Rights Officer or the Superintendent, the records
will be kept by the President of the Board or/and a third party entity, i.e. the Utah
School Boards Association.
E.
Records and Decision
Final disposition of sexual harassment cases shall be disseminated in writing to the
complainant and the accused. A separate confidential record of all sexual harassment
complaints shall be maintained and stored in the personnel office for three years
following resolution of an investigative proceeding. At the end of the three year
period the Human Rights Officer shall review the record to determine if any additional
action is required. If no additional action is deemed necessary the record shall be
destroyed.
VI.
Reprisal
The School District will discipline any individual who retaliates against any person who
reports alleged sexual harassment or who retaliates against any person who testifies, assists or
Section XI
XI- 27
participates in an investigation, proceeding or hearing relating to a sexual harassment
complaint. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, any form of intimidation, reprisal or
harassment.
VII.
Non-Harassment
The School District recognizes that not every advance or consent of a sexual nature constitutes
harassment. Whether a particular action or incident is a personal, social relationship without a
discriminatory employment effect requires a determination based on all the facts and
surrounding circumstances. False accusations of sexual harassment can have a serious
detrimental effect on innocent parties. If an investigation results in findings of a malicious,
frivolous, bad faith or false claim, the individual filing the claim may be subject to disciplinary
action enforceable through the office of the Human Rights Officer.
VIII. Right to Alternative Complaint Procedures
These procedures do not deny the right of any individual to pursue other avenues of recourse
which may include filing charges with the Utah Anti-Discrimination Division, 160 East 300
South, 3rd Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6640 (801) 530-6801, initiating civil action or
seeking redress under state criminal statutes and/or federal law.
IX.
Hazing/Assault
Unwanted verbal or physical advances exchanged among students are inappropriate
behaviors.. Unwelcome sexual gestures or advances can have a negative impact on both
sexes. It must be acknowledged that sexual harassment in our schools creates a hostile
environment that compromises students' educational emotional, and behavioral lives. Sexual
harassment shows disrespect for its victims, whether they are male or female. It sends victims
the message that they are second-class citizens. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD
NATURED, HARMLESS FUN AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS HOW IT MAKES THE
OTHER PERSON FEEL. In regards to SEXUAL HARASSMENT, STUDENT HAZING
OR ASSAULT, a student shall not do bodily injury to another student or commit any act that
degrades or disgraces any person: 1) on school grounds during school hours or immediately
before or after school hours; 2) on school grounds during use by a school sponsored group;
and 3) off school grounds at any school sponsored activity, function, or event; 4) during
school provided transportation.
Students in violation of this policy are subject to disciplinary action that could include
immediate suspension, alternative school placement, or referral to the law enforcement
agency if circumstances warrant. The student(s) shall not be permitted to continue in
attendance unless the problem is satisfactorily resolved.
X.
Sexual Harassment as Sexual Abuse
Under certain circumstances, sexual harassment may constitute sexual abuse and require
reporting to appropriate authorities. In such cases, the policy provisions or laws governing
Section XI
XI-28
reporting of abuse should be followed. See sections 3.94 - 3.96 regarding child abuse and
neglect. These sections also apply to sexual abuse.
XI.
Discipline
Any School District action taken pursuant to this policy will be consistent with the
requirements of applicable Utah statutes and School District policies. The School District
will take such disciplinary action it deems necessary and appropriate, including warning,
suspension or immediate termination to end sexual harassment and prevent its recurrence.
XII.
Notice
Notice of this policy shall be communicated to all students and employees.

NOTICE OF PARENT AND STUDENT RIGHTS
FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT
The Tooele County School District maintains general education records required by law. A
student's school records are private and are protected from unauthorized inspection or use. A
cumulative record is maintained for each student from the time that the student enters the
District until the student withdraws or graduates. This record moves with the student from
school to school.
By law, both parents, whether married, separated, or divorced, have access to the records of
a student who is a minor or a dependent for tax purposes, as do students who are 18 years of
age or older. A parent whose rights have been legally terminated will be denied access to the
records if the school is given a copy of the court order terminating these rights.
The principal is custodian of all records for currently enrolled students at the assigned school.
The superintendent is the custodian of all records for students who have withdrawn or
graduated. Records may be reviewed during regular school hours. The record custodian or
designee will respond to reasonable requests for explanation and interpretation of the records.

Parents of a minor child or a student who is a dependent for tax purposes, the student (if 18 or
older),and school officials with legitimate educational interests are the only persons who have
11
general access to a student's records. School officials with legitimate educational interests"
include any employees, agents, or Board Members of the District, or of cooperatives of which
the District is a member, or of facilities with which the District contracts for placement of
handicapped students, as well as their attorneys and consultants, who are (1) working with the
student; (2) considering disciplinary or academic actions, the student's case or a handicapped
student's individual education plan; (3) compiling statistical data; or (4) investigating or
evaluating programs.
Certain other officials from various governmental agencies may have limited access to the
records. The District forwards a student's records on request to a school in which a student
seeks or intends to enroll without the necessity of the parent's permission. Parental consent is
required to release the records to anyone else. When the student reaches 18 years of age, the
right to consent to release of records transfers to the student.
The parent's or student's right of access to, and copies of, student records does not extend to
all records. Materials such as, but not limited to, teachers' personal notes on a student that
are shared only with a substitute teacher and records on former students do not have to be
made available to the parents or students.
Students over 18 and parents of minor students may inspect the student's records and request
a correction if the records are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of .the student's
privacy or other rights. If the District refuses the request to amend the records, the requestor
has the right to a hearing. If the records are not amended as a result of the hearing, the
requestor has 30 school days to exercise the right to place a statement commenting on the
information in the student's record. Although improperly recorded grades may be challenged,
parents and students are not allowed to contest a student's grade in a course through this
process. Parents or students have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of
Education if they feel that the District is not in compliance with the law regarding student
records.
Copies of student records are available at a cost of $1.00 for the first page and $.25 per page
thereafter, payable in advance. Parents may be denied copies of student's records (1) after
the
94
student reaches age 18 and is no longer a dependent for tax purposes; (2) when the student is
attending an institution of post-secondary education; or (3) if the parent fails to follow proper
procedures and pay the copying charge. If the student qualifies for free or reduced-price
lunches and the parents are unable to view the records during regular school hours, upon
written request of the parent, one copy of the record will be provided at no charge.
Certain information about District students is considered directory information. This
information will be released to anyone, who follows procedures for requesting it; including
military recruiters, unless the parent objects to the release of any or all directory information
about his/her child. Procedure includes approval by the Superintendent of Schools. This
objection must be made in writing to the Principal within ten school days after the issuance of
this notice. Directory information includes: a student's name, address, telephone number,
date and place of birth, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and
height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, awards received in school, and
most recent previous school attended.
