BOARD OF EDUCATION PUBLIC MEETINGS All Board of Education meetings are advertised.

Regular Meetings are generally held the second (work session) and third (business meeting) Tuesdays of each month. These are the Board's formal meetings to discuss Board and committee business and to vote on agenda items. Special Meetings are scheduled throughout the year to allow additional time for Board discussion or to hold a formal vote on agenda items when needed to meet deadlines or take action between Regular Meetings. If action may be taken, the meeting will be so advertised. (These may or may not have a public comment session.)

Closed Sessions are advertised but not open to the public. These meetings are for Board discussion of personnel, negotiations and other items which need not be discussed in public view, in accordance with the Open Public Meetings Act.

DISTRICT INFORMATION

BUS RULES AND REGULATIONS School bus safety is everyone’s concern. All students who ride a school bus have responsibilities which help to provide for the comfort and safety of other students as well as themselves. Please take a few minutes to ensure that your child or children understand the guidelines for school bus safety:

1. Be at the bus stop five minutes before the scheduled time. 2. Never run to or from the bus. 3. Wait on the sidewalk or shoulder, never on the roadway. 4. Be respectful of private property at or near bus stops. 5. Do not push or shove while in line to board the bus. 6. Wait for the driver’s signal before crossing the road. 7. Always cross at least ten feet in front of the bus. 8. Never cross the roadway behind the bus. 9. Never crawl under a school bus. 10. All district school buses are equipped with seat belts. Their use is State mandated. 11. Stay in your seat, always facing forward. 12. Keep head, arms and legs inside the bus at all times. 13. Always obey the driver. 14. Do not yell, shout or do anything else to distract the driver. These actions could endanger lives. 15. Do not deface the bus seats or other equipment. 16. Do not eat or drink on the bus. 17. Avoid leaving articles on the bus. 18. A student may ride only the bus to which he/she has been assigned, unless prior approval has been

granted by both the school and the transportation office. 19. All students will have assigned seats on the bus for to and from transportation and must remain in

their assigned seat for the duration of the school year, unless change is made by the transportation bus driver.

20. Student items left on the bus will stay on the bus for next day pick up.

Students who fail to comply with the above regulations may be deprived of the privilege of using the bus and will be subject to disciplinary action.

Questions? Please visit www.rtnj.org or contact the transportation department.

LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS Every effort is made by school personnel to safeguard your child while in school. The school must know where your child is at all times in order to ensure that he/she is under proper supervision. Students are not permitted to leave school grounds during the day unless written permission has been secured from home and approved by the administration. If a student must leave before regular dismissal time, only a parent, relative or authorized adult may take a child from school. At the time of departure, the person making the pickup must sign out in the office in the presence of school personnel.

SCHOOL VISITORS The following security measures are in place at all six schools. Visitors/parents should bring identification when visiting the schools. Upon arrival, visitors/parents are to press the call button on the outside of the building. This will signal the office of their presence. Visitors/parents are to identify themselves and state their intentions for entering the building before doors are opened. Upon entering the building at all schools, visitors/parents must report to the main office and/or visitor sign-in table and/or Lobbyguard machine where they will receive identification and instructions before going to any part of the building. At no time should a staff member transact business with a person in the school who does not possess a visitor’s pass. Staff members have been instructed to escort any person in the building without proper authorization back to the main office or lobby. No visitor may confer with a student in the school unless it is with specific approval of the principal. A student is never permitted to leave the school with anyone who is not clearly identified as his/her parent or person authorized to act on behalf of the parents/guardian. The principal may prohibit visits by persons whose reasons for visiting are in doubt or whose past activity has proven disturbing to the school program. [Policy No. 9150, Regulation No. 9150]

HEALTH SERVICES A full-time registered nurse is on duty in each school during the school day. By state law the nurse can only administer first aid and follow written doctor’s orders. In case of a serious accident, parents will be notified immediately. If it is necessary for the child to go home, parents must make provisions to pick up the student. The nurse is not permitted to transport students.

Physical examinations conducted by a healthcare provider chosen by the student's parent/guardian at the provider's facility are required upon entry into the school district and prior to participation on high school athletic teams. A full report of the examination (documented on an approved school district form, dated and signed by the medical provider) must be presented to the school. In order to ensure that the learning potential of each student is not diminished by a physical disability, additional physical examinations are strongly encouraged at least once during each of the student's developmental stages: early childhood (preschool through grade 3), pre- adolescence (grades 4 through 6) and adolescence (grades 7 through 12). Vision screening is done by the school nurse in grades pre-K, K, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, for new students, and as needed. Auditory screenings are conducted on students pursuant to the state regulations. By state law, every child ten years of age and older must be examined biennially for scoliosis.

Students requiring medication at school, including such things as acetaminophen and cough drops, must present written orders from the nurse practitioner or physician and the parent detailing the name of the medication, dosage, time of administration and period of time over which medication is to be given. The medication must be brought to school by the parent/guardian in the original container appropriately labeled by the pharmacy.

ATTENDANCE Regular attendance is essential if your child is expected to be successful in school. Absence can be a major cause of student failure. If a student is absent, parents must call the school within one hour of the school start time. Written notice must be filed with the homeroom teacher prior to religious absence. Students will not be excused during the school day except for important reasons. Parents should make every effort to schedule medical, dental, and other appointments at times when school is not in session. Special permission to take

PAGE 8

children out of school for a long absence must be secured from the office. Student absence for extended periods is strongly discouraged. Copies of Board Policy 5200 on attendance are available at each of the Randolph public schools and also on the school website (www.rtnj.org). [Policy No. 5200, Regulation No. 5200]

SCHOOL RECORDS A pupil’s records will be made available to the parent or legal guardian of a student under the age of 18 or to a student who has attained the age of 18. A parent or adult student may challenge records on the grounds of inaccuracy and irrelevancy in writing to the Superintendent. If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved, the parent or adult student may appeal the decision to the Board of Education within ten days. A copy of the Board Policy 8330, Pupil Records, is available at each of the Randolph public schools and also on the school website (www.rtnj.org). [Policy No. 8330, Regulation 8330 ]

SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM All children may purchase a complete hot lunch including entree, bread, vegetable, fruit and milk. A variety of other foods is sold separately such as milk, cold beverages, ice cream and other dessert items. Lunch may be purchased with cash or our computerized point of service system. The point of service system allows parents to deposit money into their child’s account by either cash or on-line. Menus and complete instructions on our point of service system are posted on the district website (www.rtnj.org). [Policy No.8540, Regulation No. 8540]

LOST AND FOUND Each year hundreds of items are lost by students. All inquiries about lost articles should be directed to the main office in all schools. It is urged that identification markings be put on such items as coats, eyeglass cases and calculators. Periodically and at the end of the year, all clothing not claimed will be donated to charity. Students are discouraged from bringing valuables to school.

FIELD TRIPS The outside community contains many opportunities for pupils to experience real-life situations. The regular classroom can be extended through field trips, speakers, resources and on-site visits. All field trips are supervised by classroom teachers. Students are required to return a signed permission slip and completed emergency healthcare plan in order to attend a field trip. Students may be asked to bear the cost of some field trips including the cost of transportation and admission. [Policy No. 2340, Regulation No. 2340]

TRANSFERS If you plan to transfer your child to another school district, please notify the office several days before you leave. In this manner, all necessary clearance for forwarding records and information can be adequately arranged.

SCHOOL INSURANCE Occasionally students are accidentally injured while taking part in school activities. In order to limit medical bills as a result of injury suffered in the school, the Board has purchased a supplementary insurance policy, covering all students during school hours, which takes effect once personal insurance is exhausted. This insurance covers up to 70% of the amount not covered by personal insurance. Extended coverage may be purchased from the insurance carrier by parents. Injuries occurring during sports practice/events are to be reported to the coach immediately. Insurance forms are available electronically at www.rtnj.org

MONEY AND VALUABLES Valuables (rings, electronic devices, watches, necklaces, money) which students bring to school should always be safeguarded. We cannot assume responsibility for the safety of valuables left in classrooms or lockers. In grades where lockers are assigned, locks should be fastened shut at all times when the locker is not in use. Lockers assigned to students remain the property of the Board of Education and are subject to

PAGE 9

periodic inspection. Students are discouraged from bringing valuables to school. If items are lost/stolen, parents have the option of completing a police report. Students will need to provide a lock for gym lockers.

POLICY ON DISCIPLINE If children are happy and interested in their school activities, discipline problems rarely occur. The maintenance of discipline is a cooperative task between the home and the school. If difficulty occurs with an individual pupil, we will first try to find the cause of the problem. Many times the underlying cause of the problem is minor and can be remedied without parental involvement. In more serious cases requiring disciplinary action, parents will be contacted immediately to help work out a school/home solution. Suspension from school may occur if deliberate acts of a pupil cause injury to the health, morals or welfare of other children; if there is a serious violation of school regulations; or if the conduct of the pupil interferes with the education of other pupils in the classroom. In the event of a suspension, the pupil may not return to school until the parents have contacted the principal. The high school has instituted an In-School Detention Program for violations that do not involve violence or drugs, as well as out-of-school suspension. [Policy No. 5600, Regulation No. 5600]

INTERVENTION AND REFERRAL SERVICES (IR&S) Comprehensive and well-coordinated prevention and early intervention approaches have proved to be effective in enabling school communities to decrease the frequency and intensity of youth behavior problems. Approximately five to twenty percent of students, however, will need more intensive interventions to decrease their high-risk behaviors. Many of these students can be detected and helped through the I&RS process.

Intervention - Intervention is a proactive process that interrupts, alters or prevents the progression of a condition. The intervention process is comprised of all of the actions and steps a team takes to intercede with a problem. An intervention event is only one step in the process of intervening with and ameliorating an identified concern.

One of the keys to success for both I&RS team interventions and operations is the maintenance of an emphasis on the dynamics of the intervention process. The I&RS model is specifically referred to as a process because it is a continuous operation. [Policy No. 2417, Regulation No. 2417]

COUNSELING SERVICES In the Randolph Township Schools, we have thirteen school counselors. Each is a highly trained student advocate dedicated to the academic, social and emotional growth of all students. In each building and at all levels, the school counselors work closely as a member of the academic team. Each has the unique ability to effect student growth and excellence through:

− assisting in developing an academic self-concept.

− enhancing feelings of competence and confidence as learners.

− teaching and reinforcing academic and personal motivation.

− enriching communication skills and character values.

− developing partnerships with families, students and staff.

− demonstrating active and consistent support of every student.

As our students’ challenges and expectations change, the school counseling program evolves in an effort to provide ongoing support and help our students achieve their fullest potential.

At all levels, our school counselors embrace the relationships they develop with their students and families. Our school counselors understand that knowing students well is essential in helping them achieve academically. Each interaction starts with an understanding that the counseling relationship requires an

PAGE 10

atmosphere of trust and confidence between student and counselor. Counselors serve in a unique capacity as advocates for students, partners for teachers and liaisons for parent/guardians. All school counselors within the Randolph Townships Schools believe that:

− A child’s uniqueness is to be appreciated and respected.

− All students can be successful in our school community and beyond.

− Fostering a positive self-image is a collaborative effort of the school, home, and community.

− The diverse needs of all students can be addressed through the school counseling program.

− All students can achieve in our educational program.

− A comprehensive school counseling program is an integral part of the education program.

− A developmentally appropriate school counseling program provides important benefits to individual students by addressing their intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and psychological needs.

ELEMENTARY-DRESS CODE We all agree that an academic environment is best supported by apparel that is not distracting, and not inappropriate. High expectations of achievement and behavior are an integral part of the elementary culture. An extension of these high expectations to good grooming and appropriate dress enhances and improves student responsibility and self-esteem.

The Randolph Township Dress Code Policy requires that clothes should not cause a disruption to the teaching/learning environment.

Specific items of apparel that are inappropriate include:

• Halter-tops, belly shirts, thin (spaghetti straps), and bare midriffs; • Any clothing or personal items that depict violence, profanity or offensive illustrations; • Shorts, skirts and dresses that do not reach the individual's fingertips when his/her arm is at their

side; and

PAGE 11

Hooded sweatshirts; may be worn to school, but at no time during the school day may the hood be worn up. All headgear, including hats, will be stored in the classroom during the school day. Baseball caps cannot be worn in school.

A dress code is only as effective as the personnel enforcing it. The entire staff, not just teachers, needs to be responsible for reporting to the office infractions of our dress code. The key to effectiveness is intervention. The final decision rests with the building administration. [Policy No. 5511]

ELEMENTARY-PROGRESS REPORTS This is one of the ways the school keeps parents informed about their child’s progress. Parents are encouraged to monitor student progress through the Genesis Parent Portal and their child’s teacher(s). Genesis will be shut down approximately one week prior to the end of each marking period. Trimesters will end on the following dates and reports cards will be available through Genesis.

ELEMENTARY-COUNSELING SERVICES Randolph Township Schools have two elementary school counselors working within our four elementary schools. Ms. Meghan Ingman works with families in Ironia and Center Grove Schools while Ms. Deborah Hessels works in Shongum and Fernbrook Schools. Each elementary counselor assists students as they begin to develop their academic self-concept and helps them to gain confidence as learners. In grades K-5, students are beginning to develop decision-making and communication skills. It is a critical time to help them foster positive attitudes toward themselves, their peers, their social groups and their family. The implementation of a comprehensive school counseling program in the elementary grades develops the foundational attitudes necessary for future success. [Policy No. 2411, Regulation No. 2411]

RMS-SCHOOL COUNSELING In the Middle School each youngster is assigned to a team of teachers. As a member of the team, the homeroom teacher functions as a first-level counseling component. Problems of a serious nature may also be referred to the school counselor. Each school counselor has been specially trained to deal with the unique social, educational and emotional situations confronting middle school youngsters. Parents/guardians are welcome at any time to discuss special concerns with the school counselors, homeroom teacher, or team of teachers. Additionally, parent conferences and team meetings are scheduled throughout the school year to address specific concerns related to students' academic and emotional growth in school. These conferences will provide helpful assistance and information regarding your child's progress in school. [Policy No. 2411, Regulation No. 2411]

RMS-TARDINESS TO CLASS AND DETENTION Any student detained by a teacher between classes should ask for a hall pass to the next class. It will be the student’s responsibility to have a pass while in the halls after the late bell rings. Tardiness to class will be handled by the classroom teacher. Under some circumstances, a youngster’s behavior may make it appropriate for our teachers/administrator to assign an in-school or after-school detention. The parent will be contacted prior to a student serving a school detention. Late buses are available; please check with your school’s main office for departure times. [Policy No. 5240, Regulation No. 5240]

PAGE 12

RMS-CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES The school believes that co-curricular activities contribute to the overall development of your child. All youngsters are eligible to participate in clubs, dramatics, creative writing and student council. Periodically dances, picnics, concerts and field trips are conducted during and after school hours. On occasion, the privilege of attending these functions may be withheld from a student for inappropriate conduct or failure to fulfill school obligations. This decision is based on the fact that such students may require extraordinary supervision due to their inability to demonstrate responsible behavior. Attendance in school is a prerequisite for attendance in any school-sponsored event. [Policy No. 5850, Regulation No. 5850, Policy No. 2340, Regulation 2340]

RMS-DANCES/SOCIALS During the course of the school year, the Randolph Middle School sponsors dances and socials for the student body. Please make an effort to pick up your youngster promptly at the end of the dance. NOTE: Attendance at school dances is a privilege. The privilege may be rescinded in situations where a student requires extraordinary supervision or fails to demonstrate proper social behavior. Dances are only open to RMS students. [Policy No. 5850, Regulation No. 5850]

RMS-SECONDARY REPORT CARDS This is one of the ways the school keeps parents informed about their child’s progress. Parents are encouraged to monitor student progress through the Genesis Parent Portal, school counselor, and/or their teachers. Middle School marking periods will end on the following dates and reports cards will be available through Genesis, shortly thereafter.

April 3, 2020 June 18, 2020

RMS-LOCKERS Each student will be assigned a hall locker. Students may be required to obtain a lock for their locker so that they may store and safeguard their books and personal property. The school cannot assume responsibility for personal articles. Items of extraordinary value should never be brought to school or stored in lockers. Locks should always be fastened shut to provide effective security. Students are to use lockers at various times during the day providing these visits do not cause them to be late to any class. Lockers should be kept as orderly as possible—free of loose papers and extraneous pictures or items that may litter the corridors. Students should be aware that lockers are the property of the school and are subject to periodic inspection.

RMS-DRESS CODE The guidelines for the middle school dress code were developed after careful consideration. The philosophy behind them has always been that a strong relationship exists between the clothing a child wears and his/her general attitude and behavior in school. We feel strongly that the casual nature of certain attire could generate an indifferent attitude toward the student’s real purpose of being in school. It will remain our policy to discourage and limit outlandish or questionable attire which negatively impacts the educational process. Examples of inappropriate dress include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Clothing items that display graphics or slogans that are deemed suggestive, offensive, or include drug-related or alcohol-related messages are not acceptable;

• Halter tops and low-cut tops are not acceptable for school, nor are bare midriff tops or see-through mesh shirts;

• Undergarments should not be visible when dressed appropriately; • Skirts and shorts should be of an appropriate length. Baseball hats, other types of headwear, and

sunglasses are not permitted in the building; and • For safety reasons, appropriate footwear should be worn.

PAGE 13

We, therefore, ask for your continued cooperation in helping the school to attain its objective of fostering pride and good taste in clothes and grooming. At all times, we will continue to exercise prerogative to inform parent(s) and/or legal guardian(s) of individual students as regards either the suitability or permissibility of certain attire. Final decisions regarding dress and grooming rest with the building administration. [Policy No. 5511]

RMS-PHYSICAL EDUCATION All students, unless medically excused by a physician, are required to participate in Physical Education. It is required that each student, grades 6-8, change into appropriate attire for Physical Education class. Athletic shorts, t-shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, white socks, and sneakers comprise the acceptable “uniform”. Changing clothes promotes activity involvement, safety during performance and personal hygiene. Students are required to obtain a lock for their gym locker so they may safeguard their personal property, physical education clothes and sneakers. Personal fitness, skill development, and individual and team sports are areas of focus. [Policy No. 2422]

RMS-HOMEWORK Homework is an important part of your child’s school life. Written assignments should be done completely and accurately if your youngster expects to benefit from these assignments. Even when there is no written assignment, parents are urged to encourage the student to engage in related reading and review. [Policy No. 2330, Regulation No. 2330]

RMS-LATE BUSES There are late bus runs starting September 9th for students who remain after school. Middle School late bus runs take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Any student who rides a late bus must have a definite appointment with a teacher or be involved in an extracurricular activity. Late run bus stops might be different from regular bus stops.

RHS-DRESS CODE The high school’s objective is to foster pride and good taste in clothes and grooming for all members of the school community. The school recognizes that students have a right to exercise judgment so long as choices do not cause an interference with schoolwork and/or create a classroom disorder, and/or present a danger to health and safety or the health and safety of the staff and student body. In keeping with this objective:

• any accessory that may cause injury is unacceptable, such as studded accessories and chains • Footwear must be worn at all times. • The school discourages outfits that are too revealing of the anatomy and those that do not cover

undergarments when students are standing or sitting. • Bare midriffs, tube tops; backless garments, one shoulder tops, tops with spaghetti straps, mesh

and/or see through tops, and skirts and shorts that are exceedingly short are not acceptable. • Garments meant to be worn as undergarments may not be worn as outerwear. • Hooded garments may be worn as long as the hood remains down and does not cover the head. • Clothing and accessories with slogans, symbols or displays about (or suggestive of) inappropriate

language, sayings, weapons, logos, racial implications, sex, and which is disruptive to the educational environment is also unacceptable and prohibited.

• Any garment promoting alcohol, tobacco or drugs is strictly forbidden. Teachers have the prerogative to require students to remove coats, hats and other headdress during instructional time.
