Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! We have missed our students
and we look forward to many engaging learning experiences this year.
Whether a student is here on campus or participating in eLearning, our
staff will do our very best to provide a positive learning environment
for all students. We are also excited to reveal many updates to our
campus. The projects include a new roof, fresh exterior paint, new air
conditioning, and a new artificial turf athletic field.
The past few months have been challenging, for us all, and we
understand that the return to school may be difficult for some students.
We are dedicated to making sure that we meet not only the academic
needs of our students but the social emotional needs as well. In
addition to our amazing teaching staff, our administration, school
counselors, and student services team stand ready to support our
students as they transition back to school. If you have any concerns or
need assistance with your student, do not hesitate to contact the school.
The first day of school is August 24th. All of our students will be
participating in eLearning for the first week of school. During this
“Smart Start” week, our students will be making connections with their
teachers and getting familiar with our new learning platform, Canvas.
Teachers will record daily attendance and prepare students for new
safety protocols when returning to the classroom. On August 31, we
will welcome our students who chose on site learning and our
eLearners will continue to learn remotely. For those of you returning to
campus on the 31st, the Monday bell schedule is 8:30am-2:35pm.
Adult supervision starts at 8:00am. Students may not be on campus
prior to 8:00am and must exit immediately after school unless under the
direct supervision of a staff member.
The faculty, staff, and I are looking forward to a great start to the 2020-
2021 school year!
Sincerely,
Mary Freitas
Principal

Office of Student Affairs
The Office of Student Affairs welcomes all new and returning Gryphons to Sickles for the 2019-2020 school year. We are confident that
this year’s students will continue the tradition of excellence that has been established here at Sickles.
The Office of Student Affairs encourages all students to utilize our office to make their high school experience more enjoyable and
successful. The following list is just a few of the services we provide in the Office of Student Affairs: attendance verification, bus
schedule and passes, parking, and lockers.
In addition, the Office of Student Affairs handles all discipline issues. Our goal at Sickles is that our Gryphons will value their academic
success and strive to hold themselves accountable for good decision making. We hope to shape Gryphons who are respectful and accept
consequences with dignity and learn from these experiences.
Please review the Student Affairs guidelines provided in this newsletter and the student handbook that will be available electronically
during the first few days of school. Being aware of the school rules and procedures will increase the chances of having a successful
school year.
The Office of Student Affairs is looking forward to assisting you in the upcoming year. Our staff members are listed below as well as
their phone extensions. Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Student Affairs with any questions or concerns.

All visitors will be required to wear a mask and have their temperature checked at the main office prior to entering
the campus. Visitors must have prior approval from a staff member at least 24 hours prior to visitation on campus.
Administration will determine whether meetings can be held virtually. Meetings with administration should be
scheduled prior to visiting the campus.
Visitors to Sickles High School (including those making deliveries) must sign in with the receptionist in the main
office. Photo identification is required. Any individual considered a non-student must obtain administrative clearance
prior to entering the building. Any person on campus without a visitors pass will be subject to a trespassing
violation and possible arrest.
2. ABSENCES
a. All absences must be excused by a parent / guardian (via parent phone call or parent visit). ONLY
DOCTOR’S NOTES WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A PARENT PHONE CALL.
b. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure accurate attendance. Students must have their parent/guardian call
the attendance line within three days of their absence. If a parent does not call the attendance line within this
time period, the absence will be unexcused. Absences cannot be changed after the third day.
c. All parents whose child is absent- excused or unexcused -will receive a courtesy call and/or email from
the district office at approximately 9:30am indicating their child is absent.
3. PRE-ARRANGED ABSENCES
Any student who knows he/she will be absent from school for a valid reason other than illness should report to the
attendance office located in Student Affairs at least three days in advance of the absence for a “Prearranged Absence
Form” that will be signed by all his/her teachers and his/her assistant principal. This includes all college visitations,
accompanying family out of town, etc. College visitations will be considered school business if authorized by the
Administration in advance.
4. ABSENT FROM CLASS – TRUANT
Truancy occurs when a student is absent from school/class without school consent. Such an absence will be
considered unexcused and will result in disciplinary action by the Assistant Principal for Student Affairs.
5. SIGN-IN PROCEDURE
Any unaccompanied student arriving to school after 8:45 AM must report to the Tardy Booth. Students who are
accompanied by parents will sign-in through the Main Office. A sign-in pass will be issued indicating
excused/unexcused tardy or absence. It is the student’s responsibility to show the sign-in pass to his/her teacher so
that he/she can be marked accordingly. Only students accompanied by either a parent/guardian* or a doctor’s note
will be considered excused* (pending reason). No phone calls will be accepted. Students may not have more
than three sign-ins in a nine-week period. Any additional sign-ins will require medical or other documentation or
parent conference with an Assistant Principal for Student Affairs. Student with excessive sign-ins will be subject
to disciplinary action.
6. SIGN-OUT PROCEDURE (PRE-APPROVED AND EMERGENCY)
Once students arrive on campus, they may not leave without permission from an Assistant Principal for Student
Affairs. Students who become ill must sign-out through the clinic. If a parent needs to call regarding a student’s sign-
out, the parent must call the Student Affairs Office. Please do not call the attendance clerk or leave sign-out messages
on the attendance line. Parents whose children do not have a hang tag will have to go to the Main Office to sign
their child out. Only a student who drives to school with a current parking hang tag may leave without being
accompanied by the parent or guardian signing him/her out. Student drivers must report to the Student Affairs Office
prior to leaving campus. Students may not walk off campus unaccompanied after signing out. Signing out a
student during his/her assigned lunch may result in a longer delay due to the ability to locate the student. Students
may not have more than three sign-outs in a nine-week period. Any additional sign-outs will require medical or
other documentation or parent conference with an Assistant Principal for Student Affairs. Students with excessive
sign-outs will be subject to disciplinary action.

10. CLINIC/MEDICATION
The 2020-2021 school year will be different than previous school years. Secondary to the Novel Coronavirus, we
will be adapting and redefining what a "normal" school day looks like. With this being said, the school clinic has
implemented many new ways to protect the health, safety, and well-being of all students and staff. The clinic has a
well-side where we do procedures, give medications, address injuries, etc. It has a sick-side where we will take care
of ill, non-Covid-related sick students. Lastly, the clinic has an isolation room only for those suspected of having
symptoms of Covid. We are only able to have one student in each room at any given time. Students will not be
able to come to the clinic without their teacher notifying the clinic prior.
a. Medications should be given at home whenever possible especially once a day medications.
b. Administration of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen will be considered carefully before being given because
they can "mask" a fever and/or headache which are symptoms of Covid-19.
c. There are NO exemptions (other than religious) for required immunizations and physical exams.
d. Students who are ill should not attend school in person.
e. Students who exhibit Covid like symptoms will be immediately placed in the isolation room. Due to the
wide range of signs and symptoms of Covid-19, and for the safety of all, many students may be sent home.
f. Please have several emergency contacts on file and have an emergency contact who is able to pick up your
student within 30 minutes if you are unable to.
Please feel free to contact the clinic if you have any questions. As stated, this is a fluid situation and expectations,
guidelines and requirements can change from day to day.
COMMON DISCIPLINARY CONSEQUENCES:
We will be adhering to the social distancing guidelines with respect to the following consequences:
Timeout – Student will report to the In-School Suspension (ISS) room for one or multiple periods
during the day, depending on which periods he/she has had behavior concerns.

days. The ISS room is monitored by teachers. Students are expected to obtain all assignments prior

depending on the offense. Students are unable to come to school or any school functions while
suspended.

alternative school setting while suspended out of school in order to complete classwork. If a student
attends EPIC, he/she is considered present in school. Students are NOT allowed to attend any
extracurricular events during the time they are assigned EPIC.
Saturday School – Student may attend a Saturday School session on a pre-arranged date for three
hours as an alternative to in- or out-of-school suspension based on the offense and discretion of the
assistant principal. Saturday School consists of 1.5 hours of academic work as well as 1.5 hours of
school beautification projects.
WHAT: LOCKER SALE
Lockers
In order to more effectively comply with social distancing standards and to employ
its practice during class transitions, lockers will not be distributed this year.*
Students will have access to some of their materials in the classroom so that they
