CELL PHONES Students may use cell phones during break times only. Students who choose to bring their phones to school should keep them locked in their lockers. The office is always available to relay messages to students or to deal with any emergencies that may arise. If students are found to be using their phones during class time, the phones will be taken and kept in the office until the end of the day. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave their phones at home. I-PODS/MP3 PLAYERS/DIGITAL CAMERAS

I-Pods, MP3 players and digital cameras will only be allowed with the permission of classroom teachers. Due to privacy rights, the taking of pictures can only occur under the supervision of a staff member.

The school is not responsible for lost or damaged personal belongings. TELEPHONE

We would like to discourage, as much as possible, interruptions for the students during school hours. Students will not be called from class to receive a telephone call unless there is an emergency. The office will gladly pass on a message or have the student call back at break time. The use of the telephone by students during class time will be restricted. Kindergarten to Grade 7 students need to have permission from their homeroom teacher to use the telephone. Telephones for student use are placed in the office and main lobby of the school.

LOST AND FOUND

There is a lost and found area in the middle year’s hallway. Articles left on the floor or in the change rooms will be put in the lost and found. At the end of each semester, remaining articles will be taken to the Salvation Army.

Students are encouraged to keep belongings locked in their lockers. The school is not responsible for lost or damaged belongings.

LOCKERS The lockers are the property of the school and are on loan to the student. Students must clearly understand they can have no expectation of privacy with their locker at any time. Lockers must be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. Locker clean-up will be held at regular intervals. Students are encouraged to purchase a school issued lock for their lockers. Lock combinations and spare keys need to be given to the homeroom teacher.

BUSSING

Students are expected to follow bus rules which are posted in each bus. PSSD has a weather bussing policy. The bus driver is responsible for the decision not to run their bus.

12

Safety is the first concern. The guidelines established by PSSD are for not running buses if the combined temperature and wind chill are minus 40 at 6:00 a.m. Environment Canada “Saskatoon” temperatures will be used as a guide. Also, if the bus does not run in the morning, it will not run at the end of the day. (PSSD policy #805)

Appropriate dress for winter travel is the responsibility of the students and the parents.

SCHOOL ARRIVAL Students are asked not to arrive at school before 8:45 a.m. unless they are attending a school-related activity. Playground supervision does not begin until 8:45 a.m.

INCLEMENT WEATHER The decision regarding inside/outside recess is to be made by the staff. It is expected that all Kindergarten to Grade 7 students go outside at recess and noon if weather permits. Our guideline is minus 25 degrees temperature and wind chill combined. Notes must be sent by a parent to allow a student to stay indoors, but if sickness is a concern of the parent, then the student may be better off at home. Students with notes should stay in their classrooms during the recess period. SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS

Bus students in Grades 9 – 12 are permitted to leave campus during the noon breaks. All other bus students may not leave the school grounds without a note from their parents and permission of their teacher.

All students are required to remain on school property during the recess break.

SCHOOL VISITORS We welcome visitors to our school. All visitors are required to check in at the office

upon arrival. SRC SERVERY

The SRC operate a servery for student use during the noon break. Kindergarten to Grade 7 students must have a note from their parents to use the servery. SMOKING

As part of the Prairie Spirit School Division, Hanley School is a tobacco free school. This means that no teacher, student or visitor will be permitted to smoke or chew tobacco on school property. CLASS TRIPS

Class trips may be offered as an extension of school programs. The cost of each trip will be shared by the students unless fundraising occurs. Students who have demonstrated a responsible and trustworthy attitude, will be permitted to take advantage of such trips. SPARE PERIODS

13

Students in Grades 10 and 11 do not have spares. Grade 12 students may have unassigned periods during the school day in the second semester. Students on a spare are not to loiter in the hallways or on the balcony. An assigned room will be made available for grade 12 students on spare.

Should a student wish to drop a class, the student must first approach the subject teacher and principal to discuss the situation. Parents must then give their written permission before a student is allowed to drop a class. Classes may not be dropped after the midpoint of the course has been reached.

LIBRARY

The library will be open during the school day. All library materials may be checked out for two weeks or longer with permission. In order to keep our library collection current and up to date, students must return all books at the appropriate time. If books are not returned at the end of January and June, report cards will be held until books are returned or fines are paid. DRESS CODE

Clothing should be suitable for a school environment where learning is the focus, and the clothing being worn is not causing distraction or offence to others. As a place of learning, the school promotes clothing suitable for the workplace. Students will maintain an appropriate standard of dress in school and in class. Students are asked to dress modestly with clothing that is not too revealing.

Ultimately, staff members will make a decision on what they consider appropriate, bearing in mind these guidelines. Students should be respectful of requests made by staff members.

Students may not wear the following: Boys & Girls ! Clothing with alcohol, drug or inappropriate logos ! Clothing with offensive language or visuals, direct or implied ! Short shorts/skirts. ! Outdoor clothing (parkas, jackets) in instructional areas unless there is a need determined

by the teacher. ! Hats/headwear in the school ! Sunglasses

Girls ! ‘low cut’ tops ! Spaghetti straps ! Clothing which exposes the midriff ! Underwear should not be showing Boys ! Underwear should not be showing

14

! Undershirts should not be worn as the only top FOOTWEAR POLICY All students are expected to wear appropriate footwear in the school and remove dirty or wet footwear. For that reason it is important for students to have a second pair of shoes at school. Also, it is imperative that students have proper non-marking shoes and clean runners for the gym.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Phys. Ed. Classes: All students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 participate in a program of activities through the regular school program as prescribed by the Saskatchewan curriculum. Grades 11 and 12 Phys. Ed. classes will travel to Saskatoon on several occasions throughout the year to address the life-skills portion of the curriculum. The expenses for these trips will be paid by the students. Intramural Program: All Grades 7 – 12 students are provided with the opportunity during noon break to play some of their favorite sports. They will be placed in one of three House teams. Interschool Competition Program: For those sports where there is sufficient student interest and a volunteer staff manager or coach, activities may be offered that allow students to pursue excellence at the competitive interschool level. Students who wish to pursue an activity at this level should be prepared to sacrifice the time and effort required of a commitment at this level, and will be responsible for the funding of travel expenses incurred.

20

Phys. Ed. Credit Class Evaluation – Evaluation is primarily based on attitude, attendance, effort and cooperation. Senior students are expected to help administer sports programs as part of their Phys. Ed. class requirements. Phys. Ed. Clothing – Students are required to have a change of clothes for Phys. Ed. Gym clothing should consist of a pair of clean, non-marking runners, an appropriate t-shirt and a pair of shorts or sweats. During the school year students may also be asked to have clothing appropriate for outdoor activities. They will be given prior notice by their Phys. Ed teacher. Due to SHSAA regulations, all students are required to wear safety glasses for racquet and stick sports. All students from grades 3 and up are required to purchase their own safety glasses. (Those students who wear glasses do not need safety glasses.) Gym Floor – In order to preserve the finish on the floor, and ensure the safety of students, proper court shoes will be necessary. Outside shoes which mark the floor or track dirt in will not be allowed. Jogging shoes may contribute to ankle sprains. Parents are encouraged to ask the Phys. Ed. teachers or a shoe salesperson to point out the difference between marking outside shoes and the safer court shoes. A second pair of shoes is recommended.

HANLEY SCHOOL CODE OF ETHICS FOR ATHLETES

The staff of Hanley School volunteers their time to provide opportunities for students to participate in competitive high school athletics. Hanley School athletes are expected to:

• Conduct themselves at all times with honor and dignity, cooperating fully with all coaches and staff members.

• Treat visiting teams, spectators, and officials as honored guests. • Faithfully complete schoolwork as practical evidence of their loyalty to school and

team. • Show that it is a privilege to represent their schools. • Remember that there is no place in school athletics before, during, or after competition

for the use of drugs, tobacco or alcohol. • Maintain a suitable level of fitness. • Be fair at all times no matter what the cost.

21

• Believe in the honesty and integrity of opponents and officials, accepting gracefully and without question the decision of the officials.

• Learn and abide by the rules of the game. • Accept both victory and defeat with pride and compassion, being neither boastful nor

bitter, recognizing and applauding honestly and whole-heartedly the efforts of their teammates and opponents.

• Play hard to the limits of their abilities regardless of discouragement. True athletes do not give up, nor do they cheat, bet or show off.

Parents who have a concern about a coach’s philosophy or their child’s program should speak to the coach first. If the issue is not resolved they should see an administrator.

A student who is absent from school on a particular day or afternoon for reasons of illness will not be permitted to take part in school extra-curricular activities occurring after school on that day. Absences for reasons such as scheduled medical appointments will NOT affect participation in that day’s extra-curricular activities when parental contact has cleared the student. The onus is on the student to communicate such circumstances ahead of time to their coach/supervisor.

STUDENT’S REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL (S.R.C.)

ELECTIONS The students of Hanley Composite School, each year, elect their own student government. That government has the responsibility, and the right to make decisions regarding a wide range of student activities. HOUSES All students are placed in “Houses” which form the basis for many extra-curricular activities. Each September, the Houses meet to elect one girl and one boy as their leaders. MEETINGS The S.R.C. consists of approximately 15 people. They meet, usually once a month, to deal with students business.
