HISTORY
The Hastings School district was first organized in 1863. The building that now houses Hastings High School, Farragut Middle School, and the district offices, was begun in 1902. The first graduating class from the high school was in 1908. The section that now houses the high school was completed in 1911. Since 1964, when Hillside Elementary School was opened, the building has housed middle and high school students. In 1949, the coat of arms of Hastings, England was sent to Hastings High School. The Latin motto on the coat of arms, “Primus, Inter, Pares,” has become a part of the high school. Translated, the motto means “first among equals.”

SCHOOL POLICIESCUTTING CLASSStudents are not permitted to cut class. Such an absence will result in disciplinary action. Truancy will be regarded as a cut for each class missed. If a student misses 20 or more minutes of any class/block, it will be considered a cut.Students who cut Physical Education will not be able to make up those classes.It is the student’s responsibility to furnish proof of a legitimate absence or serve the detention(s).LOSS OF CREDITStudents will receive credit for courses only when their class absences have not exceeded ten (eighty minute block) absences for a full-year course or five (eighty minute block) absences for a semester course. Physical Education absences cannot exceed 6. Included in the class absence record are legal and illegal absences. This policy also applies to students enrolled in BOCES occupational educational programs. The only absences that will not count toward the ten or five absence rule are absences due to school-related functions such as guidance appointments, field trips, music lessons and assembly programs. MAKING UP MISSED SCHOOL WORKStudents who have cut class do not have the right to make up missed school work or to take a missed school assessment.
11
PARENT AND STUDENT NOTIFICATION PROCEDURESTeachers must notify the Assistant Principal when any student reaches the certain absence thresholds. The Assistant Principal will then notify the student and parent regarding the consequence of such absences. Parents will be invited to come in and discuss the absence problem. When a student has reached the 18th absence in a full year course (or 8th absence in a 1/2 year course), the parent will be notified by means of a letter.THE STUDENT APPEAL PROCESS1. Students will automatically be denied credit when they have exceeded the 10th or 5th absence limit.2. Students who wish to have this denial of credit reviewed must notify their counselor on the official
school appeal form. Their cases will be reviewed by a committee comprised of two teachers, a counselor and the Assistant Principal. This committee will make a recommendation on action to be taken.
3. If the students are dissatisfied with the results of this appeal, they may request that the case be reviewed at a higher level. In order to initiate such a review, they must notify their counselors on the official school appeal form. The counselor will then ask the principal to convene the Student Absence Review Board for the purpose of reviewing the case and making a recommendation to the Principal. The review board will consist of a parent, teacher, counselor, and two student union officers. The principal will serve as chairperson of the board as it hears the appeal and deliberates.
CELL PHONES/ELECTRONIC DEVICESUsage of cell phones during the school day is prohibited (including study hall), except during the designated lunch period, before and after school. Using a cell phone to take photographs on school property, unless specifically authorized by the principal or his/her designee, is forbidden. Cell phones must be put in lockers or bags during the academic day.Hastings High School encourages students to bring their electronic devices to school for academic use during the school day. The school offers free WiFi access throughout the building. The district is not responsible for personal belongings that are either lost or stolen.CAFETERIA The cafeteria serves hot lunches in addition to sandwiches, salads, yogurt, milk, and nutritious snacks. Beginning at 7:30 a.m., the cafeteria serves a full breakfast and is open until 1:15 p.m.Students are expected to keep the tables and floor clean and free of trash by disposing of it properly. Failure to do so may result in suspension of cafeteria privileges.CURFEWCurfew for the high school grounds, Burke Estate, Reynolds Field and Hillside School is 9:00 p.m. Hours of use for the Farragut playgrounds are 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekends.DRESS CODEStudents are expected to attend school dressed in an appropriate manner. Offensive dress will not be permitted. These standards of dress will prevail at all times including examination periods.Students invited by an organization, as guests of the group must dress appropriately for the occasion. Pupils will be counseled concerning proper dress prior to the function they have been invited to attend.Proper footwear must be worn at all times in the building and on the school grounds.DRUGS AND ALCOHOLAlcohol and drugs are forbidden on school grounds or at any school sponsored function. Students breaking this rule will be suspended from school and a parent conference will be required before reinstatement. Included with reinstatement is three (3) mandated sessions with the social worker.HAZINGHazing is defined as any activity that recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental health, physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or membership in or affiliation with any organization recognized by the Board.
12
SMOKING (INCLUDING ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES)Smoking/vaping and use of electronic cigarettes is not permitted anywhere inside the buildings or on school grounds. Students violating this rule will receive detention(s), an internal or external suspension for one day for repeated offenses.LEAVING THE BUILDING AT DISMISSALAll students are to leave the building at dismissal unless they are involved in an activity.LEAVING THE SCHOOL GROUNDSStudents leaving campus without permission will be subject to disciplinary procedures. Freshmen and sophomores are not permitted to leave school grounds during their lunch period. REPORTING AFTER SCHOOLStudents must report after school when so requested.PARKINGAs the student population at the Farragut Complex continues to grow, parking at the facility becomes more crowded. Because of this, parking at the Burke Estate will be limited to faculty. THERE WILL BE NO STUDENT PARKING PERMITTED IN THE BURKE ESTATE LOT. As per a Board resolution, car idling is not permitted.PROCEDURE REGARDING PUBLIC PRESENTATIONHastings High School is committed to free speech in and out of the classroom. We also believe that the right to free speech is grounded in mutual respect. Presentations that are false, malicious, an/or disruptive to the learning process are not protected under the right of free speech; this applies to “live” speeches and performances as well as material presented in print or on tape. Student presenters are also expected to demonstrate an understanding of and sensitivity to the composition of their audiences and the context of their presentations. Students who have questions concerning the appropriateness of their work should discuss it with their teacher or advisor before making any presentation. Students who ignore their responsibility to their classmates and community may be subject to disciplinary measures, which may include but are not reserved to community service, restriction of student privileges, detention and suspension. FLAG CEREMONIESThe daily use of the flag salute and Pledge of Allegiance is required by statutory directive. The Board of Education believes that it is desirable and important part of school exercises to salute the flag and to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. These exercises should be coupled with educational programs related to our national ideals, goals, and objectives. While providing for these procedures, it is necessary to protect the individual rights of students. However, such protection of the rights of individual students must be balanced against the rights and opinions of all students.Accordingly, it is the policy of the Board of Education that a daily opportunity be afforded students to salute the flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. No student, however, may be compelled to participate in these exercises, as enumerated by the Supreme Court, and may stand silently, sit silently or absent himself/herself from the room during the time of such exercises.VISITORSAll visitors to the building must report to the security officer and obtain a visitor’s pass. No student visitors will be permitted to accompany students to class. Unauthorized visitors will be considered trespassers and will be subject to appropriate legal action.Refer to the new Code of Conduct, a summary of which will be sent home.

performance or participation in an educational or extracurricular activity orb) Such conduct creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.

Requiring a student to submit to sexually harassing behavior, whether explicitly or implicitly as a condition of a grade, for the successful completion of any course of study or any educational or extracurricular activity, or as a condition of acceptance into, continuation in or rejection from a course, program, or activity, is prohibited.A sexually hostile environment is created by verbal or physical acts, writings or pictures of a sexual nature that are inappropriate, severe or pervasive such as to impair the educational services or benefits offered by the District. The existence of a sexually hostile environment is determined from the viewpoint of a reasonable person in the student’s situation. In determining whether sexual harassment exposes students, because of their sex, to a hostile environment, relevant circumstances include, but are not limited to: the age of the student(s); the frequency, duration, repetition, location, severity, and scope of the act(s) of harassment; whether the conduct was verbal or physical; whether others joined in perpetrating the alleged harassment; whether the harassment was directed at more than one person; and whether the alleged incident (s) created at more than one person; and whether the alleged incident(s) created an offensive, hostile, or abusive atmosphere in the District or a specific school, or in other district settings, such as school buses. A student, parent of a student, or any District employee who believes that a student has been subjected to sexual harassment will report all incidents of such conduct to his/her principal or to the Superintendent through informal and/or formal complaint procedures developed by the District. If a student chooses to report to any other adult District employee (coach, teacher, nurse, counselor, etc.), that adult is responsible for reporting the case to the principal or to the Superintendent. The principal will promptly submit a report to the Superintendent of all complaints of sexual harassment. Upon receipt of an informal/formal complaint, the principal or the Superintendent will initiate a prompt and thorough investigation of the complaint.If the District’s investigation supports the complaint, immediate and corrective action will be taken. Should the offending individual be a school employee, appropriate disciplinary measures will be applied, up to and including termination of the offender’s employment in accordance with contractual and legal guidelines. Should the offending individual be a student, appropriate disciplinary measures will be applied, up to and including suspension/expulsion.The Board prohibits any retaliatory behavior directed against the complainant and/or witnesses. Follow-up inquiries by the principal or Superintendent will be made to ensure that the harassment has not resumed and that the victims and/or witnesses have not suffered retaliation.In the absence of a complaint, the Superintendent will, upon learning of or having reason to suspect the occurrence of any sexual harassment, ensure that an investigation is promptly commenced.The Superintendent is directed to develop and implement specific procedures for reporting, investigating and remedying allegations of sexual harassment.A copy of this Policy and its accompanying regulations shall be distributed to all employees and students and shall be posted in appropriate places. All new employees and students shall be provided with a copy of this policy upon their employment or enrollment.
STUDENT SEXUAL HARASSMENT PROCEDURES FOR COMPLAINTS
These procedures will apply to harassment of a sexual nature, e.g., student to student, student to District employee, or district employee to student. Conduct will be considered sexual harassment when it is inappropriate or becomes severe or pervasive enough to negatively affect the student or his/her learning environment. The following are some examples of sexual harassment experienced in school that may be grounds for complaint:• comments, jokes, innuendoes, gestures or looks of a sexual or lewd nature, references to gender,
or name calling;• unwelcome or inappropriate physical contact such as touching, grabbing, pinching, being intentionally
brushed up against or blocked, having clothing pulled at, being forced to kiss someone or other forced physical contact;
• inappropriate exposure, such as flashing or mooning, or being spied on while dressing or showering;• verbal messages, such as sexual rumors or requests for sexual favors, sexually offensive media
which is printed, posted, or worn, such as such pictures, photographs, illustrations, notes or graffiti.

1. Definitions Student shall mean a person enrolled in the District’s educational program. Employee shall mean a person, regardless of title, assigned or appointed by the Board. Independent
contractors and volunteers who are on school property or who transport students are subject to this policy and procedure.
Principal shall mean the head of the school in which the student is enrolled or a designee appointed by the principal. Should the principal be the alleged harasser, the Superintendent is to substitute for the principal.
2. Procedures A student, parent of a student, or any District employee who believes that a student has been subjected
to sexual harassment shall report the incident to his/her principal or to the Superintendent. Incidents of sexual harassment may be reported informally or through the filing of a formal complaint.
All reports of sexual harassment will be held in confidence to the extent possible, subject to this procedure, all applicable laws and any relevant provisions found in appropriate collective bargaining agreements.
Consistent with federal and state law, and all applicable provisions contained in the District’s col-lective bargaining agreements, the following procedures shall be employed in handling any report, investigation, and remedial action concerning allegations of sexual harassment:a) Any student, parent of a student, or District employee who believes the student has been
subjected to sexual harassment may request that an informal meeting be held with the principal. The purpose of such a meeting with the student or the student and his/her parents will be to discuss the allegations and remedial steps available. The principal will then promptly discuss the complaint with the alleged harasser. Should the harasser admit the allegations, the principal is to take appropriate action to assure that the unwelcome behavior will stop. Depending on the severity of the charges, the principal may take or recommend further disciplinary action.
Thereafter, the principal is to prepare a written report of the incident and inform the student and/or parents of the actions taken to assure that the unwelcome harassment will stop. The principal’s report will be forwarded to the Superintendent.
If the student and/or parents are satisfied with the resolution, the incident will be deemed closed. However, the complaint may be reopened for investigation if a recurrence of sexual harassment is reported. The principal will inform the students and/or parent that they should report any recurrence of the harassment or any retaliatory action.
Should the student and/or parents be dissatisfied with the resolution, a formal written complaint may be filed.
Should the alleged harasser deny the allegations, the principal is to inform the student and/or parents of the denial and state that a formal written complaint will be required for further formal investigation, provided that the investigation may continue pursuant to the subsection (f) below. Notwithstanding denial of the allegations by the alleged harasser, should the principal have reason to believe the allegations of harassment, the principal shall continue the investigation pursuant to sub section (f) below.
Whether or not a formal complaint is filed, the principal will file a report within five school days with the Superintendent on what has transpired to date. If the student and/or parents submit a formal written complaint, a copy of it should accompany the principal’s report with a recommendation for further action.
B) Formal Written Complaints: Formal written complaints may be submitted either to initially report any incident(s) of sexual
harassment, or as a follow-up to an unsatisfactory resolution of an informal attempt to resolve a complaint. In the latter case, the formal written complaint is to be submitted to the principal, who will then forward it to the Superintendent.
C) Investigating a Complaint: Upon receipt of a formal or informal complaint, a prompt, a thorough and impartial investigation of
the allegations must follow. The student and/or parents are to be notified of the outcome of the investigation.
19
D) Remedial Action: Following a finding that sexual harassment of a student by any employee has occurred, appropriate
sanctions will be imposed in a manner consistent with any applicable law and collective bargaining agreements. Depending on the gravity of the misconduct, these may range from a reprimand up to including dismissal from employment.
Following a finding that sexual harassment of a student or an employee by a student has occurred, appropriate discipline will be imposed consistent with applicable law. Depending on the gravity of the misconduct, these may range from a reprimand up to and including suspension/expulsion.
Following a finding that sexual harassment of a student by a member of the public has occurred, appropriate action will be taken by the Superintendent.
Anyone subjecting complaints or witnesses to any form or retaliation will also be subject to disciplinary action in a manner prescribed by this procedure or by law, consistent with any applicable provisions in a collective bargaining agreement. If it is determined that any individual intentionally provided false information regarding the complaint, appropriate action may be taken against that individual.
Following a finding that no sexual harassment has occurred, or if the student and/or parents are not satisfied with the remedial action taken after a finding of sexual harassment, the student and/or parents may appeal to the Superintendent and ultimately to the Board of Education. The appeal must include a copy of the original complaint, all relevant reports, the specific action being appealed, and an explanation of why the student and/or parents are appealing.
E) Post-Remedial Action: Following a finding of sexual harassment, victims will be periodically interviewed by the appropriate
personnel to ensure that the harassment has not resumed and that no retaliatory action has occurred. These follow-up interviews will continue for an appropriate period of time. A report will be made of any victim’s response.
F) Investigation in the Absence of Complaint: The Superintendent will, in the absence of a complaint, ensure that an investigation is commenced
by the appropriate individuals upon learning of, or having reason to suspect, the occurrence of any sexual misconduct.
G) Complaint Records: Complainants should receive a copy of any resolution reports filed by a principal or the Superintendent
concerning his/her complaint. The report shall be filed in the office of the Superintendent, apart from personnel files, subject to the provisions of any applicable collective bargaining agreements.
DISTRICT RESPONSIBILITY1. The Hastings-on-Hudson Union Free Public Schools will allocate resources in an effort to provide a
safe internet experience for all users. This Acceptable Use Policy is adopted and enforced in further-ance of that goal.

COURSE LEVEL CHANGESHHS personnel want students to experience academic success always. Although we are an open access school, teachers/guidance/administrators make thoughtful recommendations for course placement during the scheduling process based on a number of factors. These include (but are not limited to) grades, study habits, ability, and overall course load. If your son/daughter is not recommended for an Advanced Placement, SUPA, or honors level course you have the opportunity to override this decision by signing an override form which is provided in the guidance office. No overrides will be processed without a completed form with parent signature.1. Course level changes may be made up to October 11 (or the first regular school day thereafter if
this date falls on a weekend). Requests will be granted only if it is possible for these changes to be accommodated in the student’s schedule.

The variety of opportunities for college, professional and technical school, and post high school employment increases every day. All students are invited to explore the various reference materials on occupational training, colleges, financial aid and scholarships in the guidance office. Students who wish to make an appointment with their guidance counselors should see the guidance secretary. Parents may call the guidance office at 478-6260.Guidance counselors keep track of each student’s emotional, social and academic progress in school. They help students make appropriate educational, vocational and personal plans. Counselors also help teachers and parents to understand the needs and problems of the students. Good guidance requires communication among the counselor, the student and the parent. The greater the understanding and the cooperation between the home and the school, the more effective the guidance planning will be.

HASTINGS HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC AND CO-CURRICULAR ELIGIBILITY POLICY
It is the policy of the Hastings School District to provide each student with an opportunity to develop his/her own interests and to work cooperatively in groups through the sponsorship of a variety of co-curricular activities. While participation in these activities is desirable, it is also important that as a representative of the school, the student maintain an acceptable level of attendance, academic performance, and positive behavior. We believe there are various vehicles for academic support in the school including but not limited to, the National Honor Society tutoring program, period 10 extra help time, and the Princeton Peer Leadership program that can lend assistance to students affected by this policy. The following eligibility requirements have been established toward that end.In order to protect the rights of students, and to maintain the integrity of the school as an academic institution, an eligibility committee will be established to monitor the process, and to hear appeal cases. The eligibility committee will be comprised of a teacher, guidance counselor, the Athletic Director, Assistant Principal, and a high school student. It is the goal of the school to intervene where a student has fallen down academically, and to provide the assistance necessary to maintain eligibility.
REQUIREMENTSATTENDANCEA student must attend school to participate in any athletic/co-curricular activity on a particular day. Any student absence must be a legal absence per the State Education Law guide lines, outlined in the handbook. Illegal absence or class cutting on the day of an event will result in a student’s suspension that day from any after school activities. If the illegal absence occurs on the last day of the week, the student will be suspended from weekend activities.In the event the illegal absence or cutting occurs on the day of an event and cannot be validated until a later date, the student will be suspended from the next event after the illegal absence has been confirmed. After the third illegal absence/cut the student will be ineligible to participate in all extra-curricular activities for a period of ten school days. After the suspension period, the student attendance record will be reviewed and, further recommendations will be made by the eligibility committee.
28
BEHAVIOR ELIGIBILITYA student must maintain a positive decorum that is beneficial to his/her activity, school, and community. Such misbehavior as insubordination, disrespect, disruptive classroom behavior, or unsportsmanlike conduct may result in a suspension from athletic/co-curricular activities. A decision to participate in any activity on a given day(s) will reside with the Principal or his designee. Also, any student suspended internally or externally will be ineligible to participate in any activity during the suspension period. After a total of three external suspensions a student will be suspended indefinitely from all athletic/co-curricular activities.ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITYIf a student has been notified that he /she are failing two or more courses at the mid-marking period, he/she will be placed on academic probation. Failure of two or more courses at the end of the marking period will result in the student being declared ineligible to participate.All subjects will be weighed equally in determining eligibility status. The fourth quarter grade at the end of the year will determine academic eligibility for all fall activities (some consideration may be given by the Principal for successful completion of summer school courses).ACADEMIC PROBATIONAcademic Probation will last for a period of five weeks. While on probation, the student can continue to participate in athletics/co-curricular activities provided that he/she has agreed to the conditions outlined in the Improvement Contract. The contract must be signed by the student and parent/guardian and returned to the student’s guidance counselor.At the end of the five weeks probation period the student must demonstrate to the Principal that he/she has met the conditions established in the contract to become eligible for continued participation. It is the responsibility of the student, through the guidance department, to petition the Principal and request removal from probation. If the student does not petition the Principal and/or unsatisfactory progress is demonstrated, the student will be declared ineligible for the remainder of the marking period.INELIGIBILITYIf a student fails two or more courses in a marking period, he/she will be declared ineligible until that student demonstrates significant improvement in overall academic performance. If the student is declared ineligible he/she will not be permitted to participate in any athletic/co-curricular activities. To be reinstated, the student must fulfill all the requirements stated above for the probationary student.1. Students who wish to appeal being declared ineligible for an extracurricular or interscholastic
involvement must notify their counselors on the official appeal form. Their cases will be reviewed by the eligibility committee. The committee will make a recommendation to the Principal on the action to be taken.
2. If a student is not satisfied with the decision at the building level, he/she may appeal to the Superintendent and the Board of Education as per the process used in suspension hearings.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITYIn accordance with the Philosophy of the School District and the Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities Hastings High School presents the following Statement of Academic Integrity.In order to create a learning environment which recognizes the uniqueness of each individual, which fosters the development of a variety of skills, and which celebrates the growth and accomplishments of each student, certain responsibilities must be recognized and accepted.It is necessary to the functioning of such a learning community that support and compliance with these principles of academic integrity be expected and required by all members of the community.To that end:Students are responsible for understanding the requirements and expectations of the course, being forthright in representing the results as individual or group effort, being accurate and honest in crediting sources for research, reports and original work, and conducting themselves with integrity and honesty during assessments.Faculty and administration are responsible for clarifying the expectations and requirements of the course, designing the course to support the goals of educational development, and establishing assessment procedures and policies that are supportive in these goals.
29
Parents are responsible for recognizing and supporting the philosophy as stated by the Board of Education, and supporting their individual student.Plagiarism must be recognized for what it is, and then disallowed; “a form of cheating that has been defined as the false assumption of authorship; the wrongful act of taking the product of another person’s mind, and presenting is as one’s own.” (Alexander Lindey, Plagiarism and Originality, (New York, Harper, 1952) as cited in MLA Handbook for Writer of Research Papers by Joseph Gibaldi, (The Modern Language Association of America, New York, 1995, p 26.)Failure to meet these standards may be subject to disciplinary measures, which may include but are not reserved to assigning a failing grade, restriction of student privileges, detention, and suspensions.If a student chooses to appeal the measures applied, the matter may be taken to an appeals committee composed of two students, two faculty members, the assistant principal, and a parent.
PLAGIARISM/CHEATINGPlagiarism is the use of someone else’s material without proper acknowledgement to the reader. This includes taking someone’s work off the Internet without acknowledgement, taking information from a book, someone else’s homework, lab report or portfolio, etc. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS ON PLAGIARISM/CHEATING:Teachers are to clarify expectations in regard to plagiarism very clearly at the start of each class, in September or in January. This should be repeated when a major project is assigned.RAMIFICATIONS OF PLAGIARISM/CHEATING:Any of the following disciplinary actions, but not limited to:1. Grade of zero on assignment.2. Parent notification.3. Administrative notification. 4. In-school and/or out-of-school suspension for repeated and/or more severe offenses.The goal is to foster judgment in the student, and to develop a sense of intellectual integrity. An act of plagiarism/cheating is an opportunity to open a discussion with the student, clarifying his or her understanding of what is acceptable behavior.
SUMMER HOMEWORK GUIDELINESSummer homework should be oriented towards promoting continued learning by students throughout the months that school is not in session. It should also be used to enhance the first weeks of school and to allow for minimal review of material in science and mathematics.Administrative Guidelinesa) All summer assignments will be posted on the High School web page.b) Advanced Placement, SUPA, and Honors level classes may have meetings before the end of the
school year describing the summer homework assignments.

HASTINGS PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTRICT PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
(adopted September 22, 1997)
VALUES AND GOALSAll students can learn. It is the district’s responsibility to prepare students with the knowledge, understanding, skills, and strategies they need to be productive, responsible citizens in a democratic society. We view our schools as communities of learners. Each individual is valued as a unique person and as a member of the larger group. We model a safe, caring community in which students, teachers, administrators, and parents have real opportunities for collaborative participation through which to attain our educational goals.We strive to help students develop lifelong capacities to enjoy learning, working, and relating to others. We value education because it is a process which helps each individual to achieve his/her maximum potential. Education helps to provide a person with the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world, to function in harmony with the environment, to enjoy the fellowship of others, and to live cooperatively in society with respect for individual and group differences. It disciplines and broadens one’s outlook; it helps each individual to develop principles by which to guide actions, and values by which to measure them.VIEW OF LEARNING AND LEARNERLearning is an active, constructive, and reflective process. We are committed to creating a nurturing, interactive, learner-centered environment which meets the needs of our diverse student body. An understanding of development provides a necessary foundation for assessing, supporting and challenging children’s growth - intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and aesthetic. Children have multiple intelligences and need a variety of approaches. We assist students in learning to inquire, take risks, set goals, and assess their work. Rigor is essential to a caring approach to education. The schools promote deep inquiry and hold high standards for demonstrating understanding and proficiency.

SUCCESS SKILLS successful notetaking
Taking notes reinforces what we hear in the classroom and requires active listening. Having accurate information makes your outside study and review time that much easier. Good notetaking requires practice.
Be aware of each teacher’s lecture style; learning how to adapt to each style takes patience. Take notes as you (attentively) listen to the lecture. Keep notes in an individual notebook for each class or in a loose-leaf binder that has a section for each class. Your teacher may have certain requirements.
Date each day’s notes, and keep them in chronological order. Some teachers provide outlines that tell you how a series of lectures will be organized; other teachers will deliver their lectures and expect you to write the information in your notes. Most teachers will emphasize important points by stressing them or repeating them a few times. Make a note in the margin or highlight any information the teacher specifically identifies as important.
Write notes in short phrases, leaving out unnecessary words. Use abbreviations. Write clearly so you will be able to understand your notes when you review them.
If you make a mistake, a single line through the material is less time consuming than trying to erase the whole thing. This will save time and you won’t miss any of the lecture. Don’t copy your notes over to make them neat; write them neatly in the first place. Don’t create opportunities to waste your time.
Write notes on the right two-thirds of the notebook page. Keep the left one-third free for your follow-up questions or to highlight the really important points in the discussion.
Listen for key ideas. Write them down in your own words. Don’t try to write down every word that your teachers say. Some teachers will use the chalkboard, an overhead projector, or a PowerPoint presentation to outline these key ideas. Others will simply stress them in their discussion.
Soon after class, while the information is still fresh in your mind, create questions directly related to your notes in the left column of the paper. Place these questions across from the information to which it pertains. Highlight or underline any key points, terms, events or people. Quiz yourself by covering the 2/3 side of your notes and try to answer the questions you developed without referring to your notes. If you need to refresh your memory, simply uncover the note section to find the answers to your questions. Short, quick reviews will help you remember and understand the information as well as prepare for tests.
Review your notes daily. This reinforces the information and helps you make sure that you understand the material.
Make sure your notes summarize, not duplicate, the material. Devise your own use of shorthand. Vary the size of titles and headings. Use a creative approach, not the standard outline form. Keep class lecture notes and study notes together.

Diversity Involve All People
Look around the world. The U.S. Your community. Your school. You’ll see people of many backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, and abilities.
Now take a look at your friends, teams, and organizations. Do they represent the world at large? Or are the people in your group all the same gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic class?
TAP MANY CULTURES If so, your group would benefit by seeking, welcoming, and including a more diverse population. You’d get varied viewpoints, enjoy greater participation and see increased success. And if you’re one of the group’s leaders, it’s your job to spearhead this.
ENJOY THE RICHNESS Think about gender, culture, sexual orientation, and socioeconomics, and those with disabilities. More than saying you’re open to all people, reach out to individuals face-to-face and invite them to join. When you create a group that represents the world and all its people, your organization will be all the richer and more effective for it.
Enrich your school and community by meeting and learning about people of different ethnicities and from many countries and cultures.
SOME WAYS:
Befriend people of other ethnicities
Learn about the world’s cultures
Volunteer at a local international center
Welcome international students to school
Speak up when others make inappropriate remarks
Learn a new language
Watch the world news
