PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

REEVES HIGH SCHOOL

We, the faculty of Reeves High School, share the responsibility of preparing the youth of our community to maintain

the concepts of American democracy and to lead a productive life. We must endeavor to offer encouragement,

guidance, experience and knowledge to enable each student to become a responsible citizen. To accomplish this, we

feel that we must strive to develop each student to his fullest capacity – mentally, physically, socially and emotionally.

The faculty and staff are committed to understanding that all students are individuals with a variety of characteristics,

abilities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. A pleasant learning atmosphere is provided for all students to develop to

their maximum potential.

The faculty and staff are also committed to working with parents and the community. It is believed that everyone in a

child’s life should work cooperatively to help learners acquire self-motivation, ethical attitudes, and essential life skills.

The faculty and staff will foster the following goals of instruction:

1. To help students develop and maintain good physical and mental health.

2. To help students master fundamental skills and knowledge which are essential to all other learning.

3. To help students learn to receive and express ideas efficiently and effectively.

4. To help students acquire skills in order to take their places in a global society and become life-long learners.

accountable for achieving academic excellence. Students will be authentically engaged in challenging data-

driven instruction, assessments, interventions and enrichments.

pride in their academics as well as our community. Our students will demonstrate respect, self-confidence,

Athletics

Athletic teams at Reeves High School include basketball, cross-country, track, baseball, softball and a cheerleading

squad. To compete in athletics, one must have a GPA of 2.0 from the previous semester, a physical examination and

hospitalization insurance that will cover any injury incurred while participating in the athletic program at Reeves High

School. Seniors must take a minimum of 4 classes to be eligible to participate in athletics. All participating athletes

must attend at least half of the school day on the day of any athletic event. Missing the entire school day may result in

ineligibility to participate in that event. Students who receive an “F” on their report card for one or more classes will

not be allowed to participate in any scrimmages, jamborees, or regular season games until they receive a progress

report/report card that shows that the student no longer has a “F” in those classes. Insurance coverage may be

purchased during the first week of school. Reeves High School and Allen Parish School Board are not liable for

any injuries incurred by students while participating in sports. All athletic teams are subject to LHSAA rules

which can be found on their website at www.LHSAA.org/handbook .

All students who eat with the team in a public place will be required to wear warm-ups as designated by the coach

whether they are riding the bus home with the team or with their parents.

Any student not riding the bus must present a written and signed parental/legal guardian note stating who the parent

wishes the student to ride home with and the date and phone number for contact reasons. This note must be signed by

the principal or assistant principal before leaving the school for the athletic event. Reeves High School reserves the

right to confirm the relationship between the student and the adult with whom the student will be riding.

Athletes who do not attend school or are tardy to school on the day following an away game will NOT travel for

the next away game.

Ballgames

Admission to all Reeves High School athletic events will be $5.00 at the gate. RHS students may attend home athletic

events for the discounted price of $2. (Except for playoff games, everyone must pay.) Basketball Season Passes will

be $45.00 for the 2018-2019 season. No one will enter the gym without a coach’s card, season pass, or $5.00. These

prices will be in effect for all basketball and baseball games.

Bus Rules and Regulations

Buses are considered to be a movable classroom. The bus driver is the authority on the bus. The same rules of behavior

that are applicable at school are also applicable to the school bus. Students misbehaving on a school bus and

endangering the lives of others may result in the student being suspended from riding the bus. Students must be at

designated pick-up points promptly and ride their assigned bus. No students will be allowed to ride a different bus

without a written signed note from parent/legal guardian and then approved and signed by principal, assistant principal

or designee. To insure safe transportation, students should be aware of certain rules governing transportation

privileges.

1. Respect the bus driver and cooperate with the bus driver when he/she asks you to do something.

2. Remain quiet so the driver is not distracted. Use inside voices only; no yelling, screaming, shouting,

singing, and other loud noises.

3. Do not talk to the bus driver while the bus is in motion, unless it is absolutely necessary. Do not talk while

bus is being loaded or unloaded.

4. Students must remain seated at all times while bus is in motion and until bus comes to a complete stop at

drop off point.

5. If a student causes inside and/or outside damage to a bus, the parent/legal guardian will be responsible for

repair cost.

6. Knives, sharp-pointed objects, glass jars, balloons and/or large objects that interfere with other students or

the driver are not allowed on the bus.

7. Students must remain in their seats and keep all parts of their bodies inside the bus.

8. Food, gum and beverages are not to be consumed on the bus.

9. Students may not use profane or abusive language or action.

10. Do not talk when the bus is near or crossing a railroad crossing.

11. Students must refrain from throwing objects inside or outside the bus.

Cafeteria The cafeteria, besides being a lunchroom, is also a good place where human relations can be developed. Here, each

student is expected to practice the general rules of good manners and etiquette. All students must eat in the cafeteria

whether they bring a lunch or participate in the lunch program. Free or reduced lunches are available to those who

qualify and forms are distributed the first week of school. Student lunch fees for 2016-2017 school year are as follows:

Regular Reduced

Breakfast $1.00 $ .30

Lunch $1.50 $ .40

Students may not charge more than $10.00. Students who owe more than $10.00 will not be allowed to buy canteen

or attend any field trips until their lunch bill is paid.

Change of Address or Phone Number

Reeves High School must keep current information on each student. Student information forms are given to students

the first week of school and must be filled out by parent/legal guardian and returned to the homeroom teacher. If you

change address or phone numbers during the school year, it is very important that you notify the Counselor or the

homeroom teacher as soon as possible. In the event of an emergency these numbers are our only way of notifying

you that your child needs you.

Check In/Check Out Procedures

Any student who enters school after the 7:50 am bell, must be checked into the office by a parent/legal guardian and

receive an admit slip to get into class. If a parent/guardian DOES NOT check the student in with the secretary, the

tardy WILL BE UNEXCUSED. Parents/legal guardian must check students out of school through the office with the

secretary. ALL check-outs MUST be done before 2:40 pm. Students that drive will not be allowed to check out with a

note unless parents can be contacted by phone to confirm.

Corporal Punishment (Paddling)

Corporal punishment will be implemented at Reeves High School. Corporal punishment is included in the

consequences of our Positive Behavior Intervention & Support plan. Corporal punishment will only be administered on

this campus by administrators. Parents must give written consent for their child to receive corporal punishment.

work.

in class because high school Carnegie units are based on time spent in class as well as grades!!!

Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that

protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable

1. To inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school;

2. To request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading, or otherwise in

violation of the student’s rights;

3. To consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records,

except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. Generally, schools must have written

permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education

record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties

or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):

School officials with legitimate educational interest;

Other schools to which a student is transferring;

Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;

are the ONLY exceptions the administration will consider in this matter. Teachers are encouraged to be very

consistent with these make-up policies in order to help improve student attendance.

Medication Policy/Procedures

dated release issued by the Allen Parish School Board. The RHS staff is ONLY allowed to administer medication for

chronic, ongoing conditions. We are NOT allowed to give antibiotics or pain medication on a temporary basis. The

TITLE I Program Description

Title I, Part A - Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education Agencies (LEA) is a non-discriminatory,

federally funded program that provides supplemental funding to state and LEAs for resources to help schools with high

concentrations of students from low-income families provide a high-quality education that will enable all children to

meet the state's student performance standards. This program provides services for millions of our nation’s children.

Title I, Part A supports schools in implementing either a school-wide program or a targeted assistance program. These

programs must use effective methods and instructional strategies that are grounded in scientifically based research.

More recent changes in the law request added parent participation in both the planning and evaluation of Title I, as well

as the development of the District plans. Reeves High School is a Title I school and benefits annually from this

program.

TITLE IX Compliance, Gender Equity Policy

Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 is the landmark legislation that bans sex discrimination in schools,

whether it is in academics or athletics. Title IX states:

"No person in the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be

subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal aid."

* Most people who know about Title IX think it applies only to sports, but athletics is only one of 10 key areas

addressed by the law. These areas are: Access to Higher Education, Career Education, Education for Pregnant and

Parenting Students, Employment, Learning Environment, Math and Science, Sexual Harassment, Standardized Testing

and Technology.

Visitors on Campus

All visitors are required to check in at the office. Visitors will be given a visitor badge in order to walk in the halls.

Visitors must schedule appointments with teachers during the teacher’s planning period. We must protect all

instructional time on campus and must minimize the amount of classroom distractions. If a visitor must bring

something to a student at school they can leave it at the front office and the student will be called to pick it up between

classes. Parents are not allowed to go to classrooms to pick up their children for any reason. ALL parents must

check in at the office, and the secretary will call for their children to be sent to meet them in the office.
