PATTONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
GENERAL POLICIES/BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES
2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR
It is important for every student and parent to know that provisions of the Safe School Act require the Pattonville School District and other school districts in the state of Missouri to share discipline records when a student transfers to another district and to make that information available to law enforcement agencies when required. In addition, school districts also have the authority to uphold suspensions and expulsions invoked by other private, parochial or public schools when a student moves or transfers.
PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE: Pattonville administrators determine consequences according to the Pattonville Behavior Guide. A procedure called “progressive discipline” is used whereby each student’s consequence is based on the severity of the behavior and the number of referrals the student(s) have had in the past. Therefore, it is conceivable that two students that commit the same violation may receive different consequences.
The S.A.F.E SCHOOLS HOTLINE is for all citizens of St. Louis County who wish to report any criminal activities that may affect the quality of living in the school HQYLURQPHQW7KH+27/,1(LVDQRQ\PRXVDQGFRQ¿GHQWLDOVRWKDWWKHFDOOHUFDQ

F. “Employee” or “Personnel” or “Staff” means, for purposes of this policy only, school board members, school employees, agents, volunteers, contractors, or persons subject to the supervision and control of the district. G. “Protected Individual” means applicants for admission or employment, students, parents of elementary and secondary school students, employees, sources of referral and applicants for employment, visitors, and all professional organizations that have entered into agreements with the district.

II. Prohibited Discrimination and Harassment Standards A. Discrimination For purposes of this policy, discrimination on the basis of one or more of the Protected Categories means that the district has treated a Protected Individual in a discriminatory manner on the basis of one or more of the Protected Categories when compared to similarly situated individuals. B. Harassment – Students
Harassment against a student consists of verbal or physical or other communicative conduct relating to a student’s race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, genetic information or religion when such conduct has the following effect(s): 1. The harassing conduct is so severe, persistent or pervasive that it
creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational
environment;; and Pattonville High School • 10 • 2014-2015
2. The harassing conduct either has the purpose or effect of substantially or unreasonably interfering with an individual’s
educational performance or such conduct otherwise substantially
and adversely affects an individual’s educational opportunities.
In addition, any relationships of a physical, sexual or dating nature
between an employee of the district and a student are strictly
forbidden. Under law, students are unable to welcome or consent
to such relationships;; therefore, whether such conduct is welcome
or whether the student consents to such conduct is not a defense. The district will not tolerate any conduct of this sort. The
occurrence of such conduct will subject an employee to disciplinary
action up to and including termination of employment. In addition,
UHIHUUDOWRODZHQIRUFHPHQWDQGWRUHVSRQVLEOH6WDWHRI¿FLDOVVXFK
as the Children’s Division, will also occur in accordance with law. C. Harassment – Employees 1. Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment consists of verbal or physical or other
communicative conduct relating to the sex or gender of an
employee when: a. Submission to unwelcome conduct of a sexual or gender-
based nature is made either implicitly or explicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment, or b. Submission to or rejection of such unwelcome conduct by
an individual is the basis for employment decisions
affecting that individual, or c. Such unwelcome conduct creates an intimidating, hostile,
or offensive work environment (or, in the case of
a visitor, campus environment), or G
4XDOL¿HGHPSOR\HHVDUHGHQLHGHPSOR\PHQWRSSRUWXQLWLHV
RUEHQH¿WVEHFDXVHWKHRSSRUWXQLWLHVRUEHQH¿WVDUH
given to another employee who submitted to an employer’s
sexual advances or requests for sexual favors. 2. Harassment on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin,
Age, Disability, Genetic Information or Religion. Harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, age,
disability, genetic information or religion occurs when a person
engages in unwelcome verbal or physical or other communicative
conduct implicating one (or more) of the above-referenced
Protected Categories, and when such unwelcome conduct creates
an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. Pattonville High School • 11 • 2014-2015
D. Examples of Prohibited Harassment
Harassment on the basis of a Protected Category takes numerous forms. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:
*UDI¿WLFRQWDLQLQJRIIHQVLYHODQJXDJHZKLFKLVGHURJDWRU\
to others because of their membership in a Protected Category;; • Jokes, name-calling, or rumors based upon an individual’s membership in a Protected Category;;
• Slurs, negative stereotypes, and hostile acts which implicate or
are based upon a person’s membership in a Protected Category;;
• Written or graphic material containing comments or stereotypes
which is posted or circulated and which is aimed at degrading
individuals or members of a Protected Category;;
• Physical acts of aggression or assault upon another because of,
or in a manner reasonably related to, such person’s membership
in a Protected Category;;
• Other kinds of aggressive conduct such as theft or damage to
property which is motivated by a person’s membership in a
Protected Category;; • Unwelcome sexual touching, advances, communications (whether
in person, electronically, in writing, or via other method), physical,
sexual or dating relationships, requests for sexual favors, or other
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. F. Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act
E. Additional Prohibited Behavior
Behavior that is not unlawful or does not rise to the level of harassment
may still be unacceptable for the workplace or the educational environment. Demeaning or otherwise harmful actions are prohibited, particularly if directed at personal characteristics including, but not limited to, socioeconomic level, sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation.
As required by law, the district will provide equal access to district facilities DQG UHODWHG EHQH¿WV DQG VHUYLFHV DQG ZLOO QRW GLVFULPLQDWH DJDLQVW DQ\

of the United States of America or any other youth group designated in applicable federal law.
III. Intake, Investigation, and Resolution of Complaints The district is dedicated to addressing complaints of discrimination/
KDUDVVPHQWLQDWLPHO\PDQQHU(DUO\LGHQWL¿FDWLRQDQGUHVROXWLRQRIFRPSODLQWVLV
the district’s goal. A. Intake of Complaints 1. Any person who believes that he or she has been the victim of
discrimination/harassment – or who has observed others
who may be the victim of discrimination/harassment – based on
one or more of the Protected Categories by a student, employee,
or other school personnel of the district, or by any other person
who is participating in, observing, or otherwise engaged in district-
sponsored activities, is expected to immediately report the
alleged act to any district administrator or to the Compliance
Coordinator. 2. To assist the district in addressing the matter promptly and
thoroughly, the person reporting discrimination/harassment on
the basis of one or more of the Protected Categories is encouraged
WRSURYLGHDZULWWHQH[SODQDWLRQWKDWVSHFL¿FDOO\GHWDLOVWKH
concern. This policy contains an easily understood form that may
be used for this purpose. However, the refusal to make a report in
writing does not relieve the district of the obligation to investigate
the concern.
3. A Protected Individual who believes that he or she has been
subjected to discrimination/harassment on the basis of one or
more of the Protected Categories is not required to confront the
person about whom the concern has been raised. However, this
intake, investigation and resolution process does not prohibit the
use of informal resolution when desired by the Protected Individual. 4. Any district administrator who receives a report, orally or in
writing, regarding discrimination/harassment on the basis of one
or more of the Protected Categories must notify the district’s
Compliance Coordinator within one (1) school day or a reasonable
time thereafter for good cause of the Protected Categories
must notify the district’s Compliance Coordinator within one (1)
school day or a reasonable time thereafter for good cause. B. Investigation of Complaints The district desires to promptly investigate concerns raised under
this policy. Accordingly, the district has established the following
procedure for the handling of such complaints:
1. Upon receipt of a report of discrimination/harassment on the basis
of one or more of the Protected Categories, the Compliance
Coordinator may choose to investigate the complaint or may,
DOWHUQDWLYHO\DSSRLQWDTXDOL¿HGDGPLQLVWUDWRUIURPWKHGLVWULFWWR
investigate the complaint. 2. The investigation shall be conducted in the manner deemed
appropriate by the Compliance Coordinator. The district desires
to investigate complaints in a prompt yet thorough manner, using
the following timelines. a. The investigation must be commenced within two (2)
school days of the Compliance Coordinator’s receipt of
the report of discrimination/harassment on the basis of a
Protected Category. b. Absent extenuating circumstances, investigations will be
completed within ten (10) school days after the
investigation commences. Changes or additions to a
complaint or large numbers of documents or possible
witnesses will typically require an extension of time to
ensure that the complaint is properly investigated. Similarly, scheduling issues and the unavailability of
witnesses or relevant documents may also necessitate
an extension of time for the investigation. 3. The above-referenced deadlines are subject to extension
by the district for good cause or if extenuating circumstances
exist. For example, because the vast majority of district employees
are not under contract during the summer vacation period, and
because students do not attend school at that time, the deadlines
applicable to the investigation may be extended at the discretion
of the district to enable a full and accurate investigation. ,QYHVWLJDWLRQ¿OHVVKDOOEHPDLQWDLQHGVHSDUDWHO\IURPVWXGHQW

law. &RQ¿GHQWLDOLW\RISHUVRQDOO\LGHQWL¿DEOHVWXGHQWLQIRUPDWLRQ
obtained during investigations will be maintained in accordance
with federal and state law. The district desires to protect the
identity of complainants for as long of a time period as it is able to
do so in accordance with law. The district will maintain
documentation of its investigation of complaints of discrimination
and/or harassment, including written statements (if any), as
required by law. C. Resolution of Complaints 1. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Compliance Coordinator
will review the investigation report. Pattonville High School • 14 • 2014-2015
2. After reviewing the report, the Compliance Coordinator will make
D'HWHUPLQDWLRQUHJDUGLQJWKHYDOLGLW\RIWKHFRPSODLQWZLWKLQ¿YH
(5) school days after submission of the report. The Compliance
Coordinator may, alternatively, determine that further investigation
is necessary and, as such, refer the matter for additional
investigation. When such additional investigatory steps are
completed, the matter shall be submitted to the Compliance
Coordinator. 3. One of the following Determinations will typically be made with
respect to the Complaint: a. Unsubstantiated;; b. Unable to Substantiate OR Indeterminate OR Incapable of Determination;; or c. Substantiated Prohibited Conduct (in whole or in part). Other determinations may be made as permitted by law and in
accordance with the judgment of the Compliance Coordinator. 4. Regardless of the Determination made with respect to the
complaint, the district may take appropriate action to minimize
the opportunity for future issues or concerns to arise. 1RWL¿FDWLRQRI'HWHUPLQDWLRQ5HJDUGLQJ&RPSODLQW
a. Within three (3) school days after the Determination has
been made regarding the complaint, notice of the
determination will be mailed or given to the complainant. b. If a complainant disagrees with the Determination made
regarding discrimination/harassment on the basis of
one or more of the Protected Categories, the complainant
may appeal the decision to the board. 6. Appeal Process

Coordinator, the board president will set the appeal for
review on the closed session agenda at a regularly
scheduled board meeting. (4) The board will review the documentation relating to the
matter-meaning the written appeal, complaint,
investigation report, and Determination. The Appellant is
not entitled to an in-person hearing. The board may
contact the Appellant or any other individual if the board
determines that such contact is necessary to enable the
board to reach a decision on the appeal. (5) The board will vote on the appeal and will advise the
Compliance Coordinator and Appellant of the outcome of

one (1) school day or a reasonable time thereafter for good cause. 2. The supervisor/administrator shall implement appropriate remedial
and/or disciplinary action as necessary and as directed. 3. Failure to implement these responsibilities in an appropriate and
satisfactory manner is cause for remedial action and/or for
disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance in class is an important factor to a student’s success in school. An integral part of the learning experience is the interaction between students and teachers. One indicator of dependability and general success is good school attendance. Students are more likely to have greater academic success if they have a good attendance record. This attendance policy has attempted to establish reasonable standards regarding absences. One objective of the policy is to encourage a high rate of student attendance without imposing a hardship on teachers, parents, or the student.
Every student is expected to be in school every day and attend every assigned class. When it is necessary for a student to be absent from school, a parent VKRXOG FDOO WKH DWWHQGDQFH RI¿FH SULRU WR DP RQ WKH GD\ RI
WKHDEVHQFH6WXGHQWDEVHQFHVQRWYHUL¿HGZLWKLQ48 hours will be considered truancies. Parents are requested and encouraged to work with students for good attendance and excuse students only for an illness or an emergency.
Students should not be excused in order to obtain a driver’s license, go deer hunting, perform personal chores, etc.
TEACHERS CANNOT GRANT CREDIT FOR MAKE UP WORK UNTIL ABSENCES HAVE BEEN VERIFIED!
Class Credit: A course that meets daily for one semester grants one-half unit of credit. In order for the credit to be issued, the student must do acceptable work in the class and be absent no more than eight class sessions. Only the following are not recorded as 1 of the 8 class absences toward possible loss of credit: (1) SDUWLFLSDWLRQLQVFKRROVSRQVRUHG¿HOGWULSVDVVHPEOLHVJXHVWOHFWXUHVVHPLQDUV

of the nurse, principals, counselor, or any other school support personnel.
Once a student exceeds eight absences in a class, policy will be used to determine if the student is placed on attendance probation. A student who continues to be absent after being placed on probation is subject to credit denial. Pattonville High School • 19 • 2014-2015
CLOSED CAMPUS/SIGNING OUT OF SCHOOL
Pattonville High School has a closed campus policy, which means that students are not to leave campus without authorization (this includes lunch shifts) Students needing an early dismissal must have their parent-
JXDUGLDQFDOOWKHDWWHQGDQFHRI¿FHDWYRLFHPDLOV\VWHPRUFDOO
213-8550 for immediate assistance to check them out of school. A parent phone contact with the school is crucial before a student leaves school. When a student returns to school, he/she should sign at the front /security desk before going to class. Students who leave campus at an unscheduled time without following these procedures are subject to disciplinary action as described under “Truancy.”
Arriving Late To School – Procedures
A student who arrives more than 5 minutes late to school MUST sign in at front/security desk. An admit note will be given to the student to verify time of arrival – this admit slip does not excuse the tardy/absence! Up to 30 minutes late is considered tardy. Missing more than 30 minutes of class is considered an absence.
Arriving 5-30 minutes tardy to any class may result in a referral for excessive tardiness and additional disciplinary consequences may be assigned.
Students checking out with the nurse due to illness do not follow the above procedure.

Discipline Guidelines
INTRODUCTION
It is the objective and policy of Pattonville High School to recognize, preserve, and protect the individual rights of all students and yet encourage and enforce WKHLUULJKWVZLWKLQWKHQHFHVVDU\IUDPHZRUNRIDQRUGHUO\HI¿FLHQWDQGSURGXFWLYH
school program. The quality of discipline in the school is a blend of values and attitudes of everyone concerned;; this encompasses students, parents, teachers, school administrators, school board members, and community patrons.

Academic Labs
The academic lab provides students with the opportunity to have one period during the school day for tutoring and assistance in completing homework. There is no credit earned for academic lab. It is a non-credit class.
Students scheduled in an academic lab are expected to be present and on time everyday just as any other class. Students in academic lab are expected to bring academic activities to class and to use the time in academic endeavors.
Academic lab must be a choice in a student’s schedule prior to the beginning of the semester. Students will not be allowed to drop a class and move to an academic lab once the semester begins without teacher and administrator approval.
Freshmen may choose an “All Freshmen” academic lab that includes orientation and transition activities led by older students (mentors).
Homeroom
“C” days at Pattonville High School will be extended by 6 minutes. (Dismissal will be at 1:14).
Students will report to their Homeroom advisor EVERY “C” day after 2nd hour.
In order to provide additional direction to students concerning career opportunities, an advisory period for all students will meet every week during Homeroom. Two Homeroom Times a month will be for Pirate Connections Curriculum (career education) and the other two meetings will be for club meetings, Pirate TV, etc. Three Contact times will be designated per month for freshmen.
The advisory program will create personal connections by assigning approximately 15 students to a teacher/ advisor for four years. The curriculum of the advisory will be focused on academic, career, and social development. Students will choose one of the state career pathways based on Missouri Connections assessments, PLAN and Strong Interest inventories, and student interest. Use of the career pathways will guide students’ selection of electives. Furthermore, in the advisories, we will be able to work with students beginning in 9th grade on the college admissions process. Academic and Achievement Awards
1. Academic Honors – Each grading period, an Honor Roll is established to furnish recognition to those students with a weighted grade point average of 3.00 or higher.
