Kids Help Phone Line: 1-800-668-6868 www.tdsb.on.ca Keeping Your School Safe “The Toronto District School Board values the contribution of all members of our diverse community of students, staff, parents, and community groups to our mission and goals. We believe that equity of opportunity and equity of access to our programs, services, and resources are critical to the achievement of successful outcomes for all those whom we serve, and for those who serve our school system.” ~ from the TDSB Equity Foundation Statement Visit www.tdsb.on.ca to learn more about our commitment to Equitable Schools. Caring, Safe and Accepting Schools Gender-Based Violence The Toronto District School Board is committed to creating school learning environments that are caring, safe, peaceful, nurturing, positive, respectful, and that enable all students to reach their full potential. A positive school climate exists when all members of the school community feel safe, included and accepted, and actively promotes positive behaviours and interactions. Equity, inclusion and respect are critical components embedded in the learning environment. Gender-Based Violence Policy (P071) states: “Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is any aggressive action that threatens safety, causes physical, social or emotional harm, and denigrates a person because of his or her gender identity, perceived gender, sexual identity, biological sex, or sexual behaviour.” Promoting a Positive School Climate GBV includes putting someone down because of what their body looks like, how they express themselves, how they identify, who they like or who they are attracted to, making homophobic comments, using sexist language or making comments that value boys over girls or masculinity over femininity, or engaging in aggressive sexualized behaviour such as relationship violence and sexual assault. Promoting a positive school climate requires a whole-school approach which involves all members of the school community. It involves the development of respectful and caring relationships between staff, students, parents and the broader school community. All staff are required to respond to and report any gender-based violence. The Gender-Based Violence Prevention Office is available to staff and students and offers resources, intervention, school-based programming, education, and referral support. All aspects of school life are included in a whole-school approach, such as curriculum, school climate, teaching practices, policies, and procedures. This approach is also valuable in ensuring equity, inclusion and fairness towards all members of the school community. If you think you may have experienced or witnessed some form of gender-based violence or if you would like to see specific programming in your school, speak with your child’s school principal, teacher, or guidance counsellor immediately. All students, teachers, parents and other school staff have the right to be safe and to feel safe in their school community. With this right comes the responsibility to contribute to a positive school climate. Student engagement, participation in extra-curricular activities and character development are important in fostering a positive school climate that supports student achievement and the well-being of all students. Schools should also focus on prevention and early intervention strategies as a key to maintaining a positive school climate in which students can learn and teachers can teach. For more information about programs or to contact the Gender-Based Violence Prevention Office, visit www.tdsb.on.ca/gbvp or call 416-393-9667. www.tdsb.on.ca Bullying The TDSB takes bullying seriously. Bullying shall not be accepted on school property, at school-related activities, on school buses, or in any other circumstances where this behaviour will have a negative impact on the school climate. The definition of bullying (including cyber-bullying) is aggressive and typically repeated behaviour (physical, verbal, electronic, written or other means) by a pupil where: (a) the behaviour is intended by the pupil to have the effect of, or the pupil ought to know that the behaviour would be likely to have the effect of: (i) causing harm, fear or distress to another individual, including physical, psychological, social or academic harm, harm to the individual’s reputation or harm to the individual’s property; or (ii) creating a negative environment at a school for another individual; and (b)the behaviour occurs in a context where there is a real or perceived power imbalance between the pupil and the individual based on factors such as size, strength, age, intelligence, peer group power, economic status, social status, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, family circumstances, gender, gender identity, gender expression, race, disability or the receipt of special education; Cyber-bullying is bullying by electronic means, including: (a)creating a web page or a blog in which the creator assumes the identity of another person; (b)impersonating another person as the author of content or messages posted on the internet; and (c)communicating material electronically to more than one individual or posting material on a website that may be accessed by one or more individuals. Board Code of Conduct Incident Reporting The Board Code of Conduct sets out clear standards of behaviour. These standards of behaviour apply to students whether they are on school property, on school buses, at school-related events or activities, or in other circumstances that may have an impact on the school climate. They also apply to all principals, teachers, other school staff, parents, volunteers, and community groups. Recent changes to the Education Act require all school staff to report serious incidents that could lead to suspension or expulsion (see chart on next pages) to their principal and that the principal notify parents of victims and alleged perpetrators when a student has been harmed. Staff who work directly with students must respond to serious incidents and inappropriate or disrespectful behaviour among students. For more information about the Board Code of Conduct or your school’s Code of Conduct please contact your school principal. Progressive Discipline When dealing with inappropriate student behaviour, the TDSB promotes the use of progressive discipline. When inappropriate student behaviour occurs, schools should utilize a range of interventions, supports, and consequences that are both corrective and supportive in nature. These should be developmentally and socio-emotionally appropriate and include learning opportunities for reinforcing positive behaviour while helping students to make better choices. www.tdsb.on.ca Chart of Consequences of Inappropriate Student Behaviour SUSPENSIONS A principal shall consider in accordance with Section 306.

Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) in Schools Code of Online Conduct The TDSB Code of Online Conduct (PR571) protects the rights and safety of students and staff who use online systems and resources, including all material that is accessed through a TDSB computer or telecommunications network. All of the rules of the TDSB apply when using its computers and connections, and the Board has the right to monitor their use. The Toronto District School Board recognizes the potential of technology use in the classroom to engage, enhance, and support student learning. We understand that students bring their own devices (BYOD) to school, such as cell phones, personal digital assistants, smart phones and laptops. This can be an important way for parents and caregivers to stay connected and engaged with the learning of their children, as well as a way to reach each other, when necessary. It is important to make sure that they are used responsibly, do not interfere with learning and respect the rights of others at all times. Some important tips: • Never give out information online that someone could use to find you in person. • Never give out information about anyone else without their permission. • Never share your personal password with anyone. To learn more, visit your school office or speak to your principal. • Never try to impersonate someone else or use another person’s account on the network. • TDSB computers are not to be used for any purpose that is illegal, pornographic, hateful, threatens someone, or is obviously offensive to an individual or group. If a message, a picture or anything else you see on the computer makes you uncomfortable, tell your teacher immediately. • Report any computer damage that happens by accident or on purpose. Consider the others who use the system. Keep use of the computer and transfer of files to reasonable amounts of time. • Misuse of computers or connections can result in disciplinary action, which may include legal or police action. • All web pages hosted or paid for by the TDSB are the property of the TDSB. See the complete TDSB Code of Online Conduct (PR571) at www.tdsb.on.ca/students. Know Your Rights Every student has the right to feel safe and welcome at school. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect, dignity and understanding. If you hear, see or experience: • name-calling or threats • unwelcome remarks or slurs • obscene gestures or jokes • unwanted touching or sexual bullying • online harassment • derogatory or offensive materials • threats of outing someone • intimidation or physical violence • or anything else that negatively affects an individual or group call: For more information about Caring, Safe and Accepting Schools, please go to www.tdsb.on.ca. Getting the Most Out of Excursions and Field Trips Student Athletes Set an Important Example Field trips are great learning opportunities for students. To ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all participants, students need to follow the TDSB Code of Conduct and the expectations of their school while off school property during trips and athletic events. Athletes are often seen as role models. It is important for student athletes to promote positive social behaviours and attitudes in their peers. The TDSB Code of Behaviour for Athletes describes expectations for students who take part in TDSB-approved sporting events: Some Important Things to Remember • Come prepared and follow the directions of teachers and other supervisors during the excursion. • You will not be penalized if you miss any assignments or tests in other subjects while on a school excursion. You will be expected to complete the work within a reasonable time, as determined by the teacher when you return. • Board policy prohibits the use of tobacco, alcohol and non-medicinal drugs at all school activities – whether they take place on or off school property. The expectations are outlined fully in the TDSB Excursion Procedure (PR511) available online at www.tdsb.on.ca. • Compete for the enjoyment of the game and the pursuit of individual as well as team excellence. • Strive to understand, respect, and follow the rules of the game at all times. • Demonstrate good sportsmanship and fair play. • Conduct yourself with honour, dignity, and self-control. • Appreciate the efforts of your teammates and opponents. • Be generous in victory and gracious in defeat. • Show respect for authority and decisions of coaches, staff, and officials. • Respect athletic facilities and property. • Respect the rights of opponents, teammates, and spectators on both sides. • Refrain from the use of profanity, taunting, threatening actions and violence at all times. Religious Accommodation • Behave in accordance with all TDSB policies. Students who need accommodations for religious observances or spiritual practices should speak with their school principal or vice-principal. Verbal or written communication from a parent/guardian/ caregiver is required specifying needs relating to religious or spiritual observances, including holy days the student is expected to be absent from school. Please provide this information early in the year to ensure that scheduling of tests, assignments, or exams can take religious observances into consideration. Be Scent Aware Exposure to perfumes and other scented products can trigger serious health reactions in those with asthma, allergies, migraines or chemical sensitivities. Please be considerate to others who share the learning environment with you, and reduce the use of fragranced products in your school.

Student councils represent the voice of the student body of each school and seek to promote student leadership and engagement. By the time they reach secondary school, students are expected to manage their time effectively, complete their homework and take responsibility for their own success. However, parents and families play a critical role in a child’s education at every stage and there are many ways for parents to stay involved with their school community. For more information, and to find out how to get involved, please refer to the updated guidelines in the SAC Handbook available on the TDSB website. TDSB Student SuperCouncil Captivate • Motivate • Initiate Is there anything in your school you’d like to change? Do you want to have your voice heard and make a difference in your school and schools across Toronto? The TDSB Student SuperCouncil is a group of 20 elected students from all over TDSB. Our main goal is to bring a student voice to the Boardroom. SuperCouncil is inviting you to come out and have your voice heard. We have quadrant meetings every month, as well as a number of events that will allow you to speak your mind and make a real difference. These events include a leadership retreat for Grade 9 and 10 students where student leaders are invited to get together and share their ideas, an elections conference where SuperCouncil executives are elected, and much more. SuperCouncil works with the two Student Trustees who sit on the Board and represent the student voice. They take the ideas from quadrant meetings and present the united student voice to Trustees who vote on the decisions that affect our schools. To learn more about how to get involved and to meet our executives, visit our web site at www.supercouncil.ca or email [email protected]. Parents and families have a number of opportunities to get involved. They can participate in their local School Council, volunteer within the school, attend Trustee Ward Forums, join one of the Community Advisory Committees, or the Parent Involvement Advisory Committee. At TDSB, our students speak over 80 languages and come from almost 175 countries. We welcome students and families from around the world. Our schools are responsive to the needs of students/families new to Canada who may require help adjusting to life in a new country. For information on identifying a settlement services or interpretation and translation supports, contact 416-397-3529. The TDSB Parent Concern Protocol (PR505) is a tool for parents to address school and classroom concerns. The Protocol confirms the responsibility of the Principal, Superintendent of Education and the Trustee in providing advice, direction or decision making on parents’ concerns. To view the Protocol, visit www.tdsb.on.ca/parents. To learn about parent involvement opportunities, including available workshops, visit www.tdsb.on.ca/parents, call 416-397-3529 or contact your local school. Community Involvement Did You Know? • In order to graduate from high school, you must complete 40 hours of approved community involvement activities. • These activities must take place outside of class time, beginning in the summer before you start grade 9 until March of your graduating year. • You need to complete these hours in places that are in keeping with the TDSB approved list (available at www.tdsb.on.ca) and approved by your principal. • You need to complete a Community Involvement Passport and have signatures from someone in the community. Don’t Wait – Start Today! To find out more, speak to your guidance counsellor, home room teacher, or visit www.tdsb.on.ca. Learning and More Homework Homework is an important part of learning for all students. TDSB has an established Homework Policy (P036) founded on sound teaching and learning practice, current research, TDSB Student Census data, and extensive consultation with parents, educators, and the community. It moves away from traditional time-by-grade guidelines to emphasize assignments that reflect the unique learning needs of individual students. Why homework? • Relevant, topical homework assignments promote high quality student learning, mastery and achievement, especially in secondary school. •Homework encourages students to develop independent, effective study habits that nurture a lifelong love of learning. What is appropriate homework? •Homework is part of a positive learning experience and not intended to be punitive. •Homework is curriculum-based with a direct link to topics or skills that have been taught in class, and enhance student learning. •Homework is clear so students understand what they are expected to do for each homework assignment. How much is the right amount of homework? •Students in Grades 9 - 12 should expect to complete up to two hours of homework per evening. •Homework should meet the developmental needs and abilities of individual students, and be modified, when necessary. •Homework is designed so that families can balance the time needed to complete homework with extra-curricular activities scheduled outside of the school day (for example, activities that support personal and family wellness). • Homework will not be assigned on scheduled holidays as outlined in the School Year Calendar on Religious Holy Days. What are students’ responsibilities around homework? • Recording homework in their agenda or planner, and making sure they clearly understand the homework expectations. • Asking their teacher for clarification or help when tasks or expectations are not clear, or if they have a time conflict because of homework assignments in several different subjects. • Managing their time and materials responsibly. • Regularly completing assigned homework in a timely manner, to the best of their abilities. How can parents support student learning? • Parents can help by talking to children about their homework and ensuring that homework time is part of a regular, scheduled routine. • Parents can help by making sure students have a learning space at home. •Stay in touch. Schools should communicate with parents in many ways throughout the school year about the purpose and goals of homework, including at curriculum nights, parent-teacher conferences, School Council meetings and through student agendas, newsletters and websites. • Homework assignments may be designed to involve parents and guardians in supporting their children’s learning, however homework will not require them to teach concepts. Please review our Academic Honesty Procedure (PR613) and Late and Missed Assignments Procedure (PR614) at www.tdsb.on.ca. Student Accident Insurance The TDSB does not provide accident insurance coverage for student injuries that take place on school property or during school sponsored activities. For information on how to purchase accident insurance coverage for your child, visit www.insuremykids.com or call toll free at 1-800-463-KIDS (5437). www.tdsb.on.ca Many Pathways to Success E-Learning Expands Opportunities Earning a high school diploma is a critical step to your future success, but there are many pathways to graduation.

Secondary Night and Summer Programs TDSB offers night and summer school programs that provide secondary students and adults with opportunities to earn credits, develop literacy skills and complete diploma requirements. We also offer parent workshops. Check in with your home school to find out what’s happening this year. E-Learning is one more way for students who excel in a flexible learning environment to take credit courses that may not be available in your OSR (home) school or to help resolve a timetable conflict. TDSB e-Learning offers a range of courses primarily at the senior level (Grades 11 and 12). The courses and online classroom are provided by the Ministry of Education through e-Learning Ontario, taught by TDSB secondary teachers. They’ll appear on your timetable and your transcript. Speak to your Guidance Counsellor or visit www.tdsb.on.ca/elearning to find out more. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) PLAR is a “challenge” that allows students to earn secondary school diploma credits for learning they’ve done outside the classroom. TDSB students may request a formal evaluation of their skills and knowledge against the expectations outlined in the Ontario curriculum for current Grades 10, 11 and 12 courses taught in TDSB schools. Through the PLAR process, students may “challenge” for one credit per year and earn no more than four credits including a maximum of two credits in any one discipline. To learn more about PLAR and how to apply for a formal evaluation, contact your guidance counselor. For more information, visit www.creditprograms.ca. www.tdsb.on.ca Health and Wellness Finding Help When You Need It Immunization For Students Research shows that as many as one in five children and youth experience emotional stress that can make it hard to focus on school work. Students who struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger or confusion are not alone. School social workers and attendance counsellors understand and we’re here to help students overcome obstacles to success. Whether personal, family or school related, concerns can range from bullying to substance abuse, from questions about sexuality to difficulty adapting in a new culture. We offer a wide range of services, including individual or group counselling, as well as helping to connect students with outside supports. To connect with your school social worker, speak to a teacher, advisor, guidance counsellor or your principal. For more information about our services, visit www.socialwork.tdsb.on.ca. Vision Testing Is Important Did you know that one in six children and young people have vision problems? Undetected vision problems impact learning – to see the blackboard clearly, read a book and fully participate in class activities. Regular vision examinations are part of being ready for school. Annual eye exams for children and youth under 20 is covered by OHIP. To learn more, visit www.tdsb.on.ca. To find the name of an optometrist near you, visit www.eyecareoao.com or call 1-800-540-3837. It is the law in Ontario for all children attending school to be immunized against communicable diseases, or to provide a valid exemption as regulated by The Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA). Each year, Toronto Public Health reviews the immunization records of all TDSB students to assess if mandatory vaccines have been received, or if a valid exemption is on file. Primary students need to be up-to-date with the complete series of vaccinations that protect against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella. Secondary students need a booster vaccine in adolescence (usually between ages 14 and 16) to maintain protection against diphtheria and tetanus. This is a combination vaccine that also protects against pertussis (or whooping cough). To protect the health of all, students who are not up-to-date or have not provided a valid exemption may be suspended from school. Clinics are offered by Toronto Public Health for students who are having difficulty accessing vaccination services. Many other immunizations are recommended but not required for school attendance. These include vaccines against chicken pox, pneumococcal disease, haemophilus influenzae B, meningococcal disease, hepatitis B, whooping cough and human papillomavirus. For more information see the Ministry of Health and Long-term care Publicly Funded Immunization Schedule www.health.gov.on.ca/english/providers/program/ immun/pdf/schedule.pdf. To learn more, visit www.toronto.ca/health or call the Toronto Public Health Immunization Information Line at 416-392-1250. Be Scent Aware Exposure to perfumes and other scented products can trigger serious health reactions in those with asthma, allergies, migraines or chemical sensitivities. Please be considerate to others who share the learning environment with you, and reduce the use of fragranced products in your school. To learn more about the TDSB Scented Products Awareness Program, speak to your principal or visit www.tdsb.on.ca. www.tdsb.on.ca CELL PHONE & ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY Technology has changed the educational environment in many positive ways. However, as new technologies continue to expand, they also bring new challenges to maintaining a safe, caring and orderly learning environment—one of maximizing the educational benefits while minimizing the negative impact of this same technology. Teachers must be able to teach and assist students, and students must be able to learn, in an environment free of distraction and interruption. Students receive an academic advantage when they give their full attention to the instructional program during the entire class period. The Toronto District School Board policy regarding personal electronic devices (cell phone, music player, iPod, video camera, electronic tablets, etc.) states: Personal electronic devices may be used during instructional class time for educational purposes, if permitted by the teacher; Personal electronic devices may be used outside of instructional class time, so long as the use of these devices does not distract from instructional class time or co-curricular activities. Use of personal electronic devices is not permitted in any classroom or any other instructional area except as outlined in the preceding policy statement. Exams: Students are not allowed to use personal electronic devices during examinations. Personal electronics in a lockdown: A lockdown in a school is an emergency situation. It is natural that students and staff may want to communicate during these times; however, it is equally important that emergency personnel have access to phone lines. In many situations of this magnitude, phone lines get jammed through the excessive use of cell phones, preventing emergency personnel from communicating effectively. For these reasons cell phone use is discouraged during a lockdown. In emergency situations the office provides full and immediate electronic communication to students, staff and parents/guardians through the school and Board website. Expectation of Privacy Recording, electronic transmission, or posting of photographic images of any person on school property, at school events, and during school activities and/or hours, is prohibited without the permission of: 1) the person or persons being photographed; 2) the Principal or designate; and 3) where the student is below the age of 18 years, the consent of the parent/guardian. Cyber Harassment Electronic posting or transmission of comments, discussions, photographs or images which are known or should reasonably be known to be hurtful to a member of the school community is not acceptable and will be dealt with as a form of harassment. Loss / Theft The school cannot assume responsibility for lost or stolen electronic devices. In the event of such occurrence, students need to complete a report in the VP Office. Students who fail to comply with the Personal Electronics Policy as outlined above will face consequences. CENTRAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL ATTENDANCE If a student has been absent for fifteen consecutive scheduled classes in a course without appropriate supporting medical documentation, the pupil must be withdrawn from the course on the day immediately following the last day of attendance. “Regular attendance in school is critical for students’ learning and achievement of course expectations. Teachers and administration frequently review student attendance patterns. If, in the school Principal’s judgement, a student’s frequent absences from school are jeopardizing his/her successful completion of a course, the staff will communicate with the student and parent/guardian to explain the potential consequences of the absences, including failure to gain credits. They will also discuss steps that could be taken to improve the student’s attendance.” Ontario Ministry of Education Policy Statements There is a strong correlation between student attendance and achievement. Both the school and the parent/guardian must be able to document that any student absences are for legitimate reasons. Attendance in classes at Central Technical School is mandatory for all students. Absence Q: What happens if I am absent from school? The school must receive a telephone call from a parent/guardian that morning. Please call 416-3930070, extension 21000. Students returning from an absence must bring a note signed by a parent/guardian or doctor. The note should indicate the student’s name, the reason for the absence, and the date(s) of the absence. Students are required to have each of their teachers sign the note. The student then submits the note to the Attendance Office after school on the day of their return. Students 18 years or older may write their own notes and present them directly to each teacher. Absence of 5 days or more requires a medical note. Absence from class without a legitimate reason is not acceptable. For all grade 9 students there will be an automated telephone call home before noon. At the end of the day there will be an automated telephone call home for all other absences. Lateness Q: What happens if I am late for school? You are responsible for arriving in class, prepared to work, ON TIME. If you are not on time for class, even a few minutes, you will be recorded as “late”. Students report directly to class; the teacher will mark them late. Sign-Outs Q: What if I have to leave the school during the day? Go to room 266 before 8:50 a.m. or during lunch. You must have a predetermined reason (such as a doctor or dental appointment). Students who need to sign out of school due to a sudden emergency (such as personal illness) must report to the Attendance Office room 266. Study Period Q: What if I have a spare (non-assigned period)? Students may work in the library or cafeteria; students may not be in the halls/stairwells during class time. CENTRAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION AND REPORTING OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Due Dates Due dates apply to assignments, projects, presentations and tests. When a teacher assigns a project, test or other work to be submitted for evaluation the teacher will announce the due dates. Students are responsible for submitting work for evaluation by the due date. Students do not have an automatic right to submit work late. Should the need arise students must advise their teacher before the due date of any challenge which would prevent the submission. The teacher will make the decision about a possible revised due date based on the individual situation. Students must understand that there are consequences for incomplete, late, missing assignments and/or tests. When strategies have been tried and failed to encourage on-time submissions of work, marks may be deducted up to and including the full value of the assignment. Involvement in school-related activities is not an automatic justification for an extension of the due date. Plagiarism and Cheating Plagiarism is copying, reproducing or paraphrasing any portions of someone else’s work without acknowledging the original source. This includes: another person, themselves, books, print materials, using information from the Internet or other electronic sites without acknowledging the source. Students who plagiarize or cheat on school work will receive ‘0’ (zero) for the work and may be suspended. Summative Evaluation Note: Final Evaluations are worth 30% of the final mark. Your course may end with: an exam a summative project a combination of both Exams Exam dates and times for all courses are set out in the exam schedule which is distributed to students and parents/guardians. We are not able to accommodate any changes to the exam schedule or requests to write an exam at a date/time other than the scheduled date/time shown. Examination days are indicated on the calendar in this agenda. It is your responsibility to be informed! 1. Students are required to be present for all scheduled summative evaluations. 2. Students who must be absent must present a medical certificate or a court order to the Principal (room 201) before the end of the exam period. 3. A student who for any other reason does not write the final examination will be assigned an examination mark of zero. 4. Students are responsible for knowing where and when their examinations are being written. 5. Students with an examination conflict (three examinations on the same day or two at the same time) must report the conflict to room 266 for alternative arrangements. 6. Students who arrive up to 15 minutes late for an examination will be admitted, but will not be given extra time. If a student is more than 15 minutes late for an exam, he/she will be sent to the office. CENTRAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION AND REPORTING OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Report Cards Teachers report student achievement through Provincial Report Cards. Four (4) Provincial Report Cards are issued per academic year. For semestered courses, there will be one mid-term and one final report card. For non-semestered courses such as the Art and Tech majors, there will be three interims and one final report card. Interim Progress Letters are also issued in October and March. October November February March April June Interim Progress Letter, Sem. 1 Parent-Teacher Interviews Provincial Report Card, Sem. 1 Midterm/Interim Provincial Report Card, Sem. 1 Final Interim Report Card (non-semestered courses) Interim Progress Letter, Sem. 2 Parent-Teacher Interviews Provincial Report Card, Sem. 2 Midterm/Interim Provincial Report Card, Sem. 2 Final Parent-Teacher Interviews Parent-Teacher Interviews are held at Central Technical School once a semester: in October and in March from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This is a chance for parents and guardians to meet teachers to discuss their child’s progress. All parents/guardians and students are encouraged to attend. Full Disclosure All marks for Grade 11 and 12 courses will appear on the student’s Ontario Student Transcript. If students do not want a mark to appear, then they must drop the course within the five days after the first formal reporting period (midterm report card). If special circumstances apply after this drop date, a percentage grade is still recorded, even if the course is dropped. CENTRAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL PARTICIPATION IN CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES CTS offers a variety of co-curricular activities. Each year programs are offered based on staff and student interest. It is expected that students who participate in co-curricular activities and/or represent our school on teams, are in regular attendance in their classes and are working towards meeting the course expectations as outlined by their teachers. Student attendance is regularly monitored by classroom teachers, coaches and vice-principals. Students who fail to be in regular attendance risk losing the privilege to participate in school activities. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate with teachers, coaches and attendance monitors when circumstances have prevented them from attending a class. All absences must be documented. In cases where students have missed classes their co-curricular privileges may be suspended. PARTICIPATION IN ATHLETICS Responsibility and Guidelines for Student Athletes Being a member of a school team is a privilege and carries with it certain responsibilities that all student athletes must meet. Student Athletes: 1. Abide by and adhere to the TDSSAA Code of Behaviour as outlined by your coaches at the start of your season. 2. Consider athletic opponents and officials as guests and treat them as such. 3. Respect the rights of students and staff from opposing schools. 4. Respect the rights of all spectators. 5. Respect the property of the school and the authority of school officials. 6. Respect the official’s decisions. 7. Show self-control at all times during and after the game. 8. Are modest in victory and gracious in defeat. 9. Consider it a privilege and a duty to encourage everyone (players and spectators alike) to live up to the spirit of the rules of fair play and sportsmanship. Commitment to a School Team Since it is a privilege to be on a school team, student athletes also have a commitment to the team once they have been selected: Student Athletes MUST complete their season. Quitting a team is unacceptable as it lets your teammates and coach down. You have also taken the spot on the team, which would otherwise have been filled by someone else. In special circumstances with the permission of both coaches, a student athlete may be a member of two (2) teams during the same season. Both coaches must meet if there is a conflict between the two schedules. It is unacceptable to quit either team ANY time during the season. If a student athlete quits a team ANY time during the season, he/she will not be allowed to participate on a school team the following sport season. Cont’d. Student Athlete Academic Code of Conduct Each student athlete that participates on an athletic team at Central Technical School must be in regular attendance. Attendance in all classes will be monitored on a weekly basis. This policy will be governed on a strike system described below: Strike 1 Student is absent from class(es) Consequence: Student is given a formal warning that any further infraction will result in missed games Strike 2 Student continues to be absent during the second monitoring period during a season. Consequence: Student must miss the next scheduled league game. Strike 3 Student fails to attend during a third monitoring period. Consequence: Student must miss the next 2 scheduled league games. Strike 4 Student continues to be absent. Consequence: Student is removed from the team permanently. Code of Conduct for Spectators Spectators are an important aspect of school athletics. The attendance of students, parents, guardians, family members, and members of the community serves to compliment the experience of all those involved in sporting competitions. It is expected that spectators will: Cheer in a positive manner Respect the decisions of the officials Respect the athletic facilities and property Respect the authority of TDSB staff members who are supervising games Be courteous and respectful to fellow spectators Not interfere with the game in any manner Refrain from the use of profanity, taunting, threatening actions, or violence Behave in accordance with all TDSB policies How do I find a coach?
