WELCOME TO HANLEY SCHOOL
On behalf of the staff, we would like to welcome all students new to Hanley School and all
students returning to school following summer vacation. We take great pride in our academic
and extra-curricular programs that we offer at our school. Our mission statement stresses a
focus on academics in a safe and caring environment. Our motto focuses on staff and students
achieving success together.
We value our strong partnership with the home and the community. We continue to look
forward to working with our School Community Council to further enhance our relationship
with the community.
We hope that you find the content of this handbook useful as you plan your school year. Do
not hesitate to contact us at the school if you have any questions or concerns. One of the keys
to success for your child is communication between home and school.
Students, please take every opportunity to become involved in the academic and social life of
Hanley School and become part of the Saber tradition. We wish each of you success. Do your
best and have fun to make 2009-2010 a year to remember. Hanley School is a great place to

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.

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.
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.
12
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 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.
13
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
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.

ATTENDANCE POLICY GUIDE
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
It is expected that students be present and prepared for class on time. Parents are asked
to phone the school if their child is going to be absent or late.
When students miss classes for any reason, it is their responsibility to find out what they
have missed and to make every effort to get caught up as soon as possible.
GRADE 10 – 12 ATTENDANCE INCENTIVE
We at Hanley School feel that it is important for our students to attend school regularly
so that they may receive the maximum benefits of classroom instruction. To help encourage
regular attendance by our students, every grade 10-12 class will have an attendance mark
incorporated into the course evaluation plan, in which 10% of the student’s overall mark
will be determined by classroom attendance. Every student will start out with the full 10%
of this grade, but will be deducted 2% for every class they miss after 10 cleared or uncleared
absences, to a maximum of 15 absences.
1. Guidelines
This attendance grade will be assigned according to the following guidelines:
5 cleared or uncleared absences ............. Letter home to parents
10 cleared or uncleared absences……..10% Second contact with home
11 cleared or uncleared absences ........... 8%
12 cleared or uncleared absences ........... 6%
13 cleared or uncleared absences ........... 4%
14 cleared or uncleared absences ........... 2%
15 cleared or uncleared absences………0% and a meeting with parents, student,
teacher and school administration.
2. Lates
In addition to this, we feel that it is vital for students to be on time and prepared for class;
therefore, for every three times a student is late, it will count as one absence under this
formula.
3. Extenuating Circumstances
This policy is designed to encourage students to minimize the amount of time they are
absent from school and to reward those students with exemplary attendance. It is also
understandable that extenuating circumstances may arise (extended illness, compassionate
leave & family emergencies, family trips, busses not running, etc.) where a student is forced to
be away from school for extended periods of time.
If a student is to be absent for a period of three or more consecutive days, (for
extenuating circumstances) he/she may have their absences excused by using an Extended
Absence Form signed by the student, parents and teachers before (if possible) the absences
occur.
School-related absences (extra-curricular teams, SRC, etc.) will not count toward the
absence total.
17
EVALUATION
Student progress is evaluated continuously during the school year. Classroom performance
and behaviors, daily assignments, projects, quizzes and exams can all be a part of the
evaluation. Some modification of expectations may occur for students with difficulty in
certain areas but in general each student is expected to learn to the best of his or her ability.
Effort is extremely important!

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.
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.
