BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WINK SCHOOLS

The Wink School was organize= d in April 1928, at which time an independent district was formed and the first Board of Trustees was elected. This is the eighty third year of operation for the Wink Schools. During this time the physical plan= t has grown from a wooden, sheet-iron covered building to the present facility wh= ose estimated value is over seven million dollars. The record of achievement, both academically and athletically, and the pride of students, faculty, and patr= ons are enviable.

SECTION I: GENERAL INFORMATION=

= 1.&n= bsp; = ANNOUNCEMENTS<= o:p>

The public address (PA) system is used to m= ake announcements concerning school information and activities. Announcements will be made during = the first three minutes of second period and, on occasion, about three minutes before= the last bell in the afternoon. P= lease pay attention and be quiet at this time.

<= o:p>

2. = ATTENDANCE<= o:p>

A. Compulsory Attendance [ TEC 25.085 ]: Students who are at le= ast six years of age, or who have been previously enrolled in the first grade, = but who have not yet reached their eighteenth (18th) birthday shall attend school or have an excused absence for at least 180 days of the regular school year.<= o:p>

<= o:p>

B. Prearranged Absences: These absences must be scheduled with principal’s approval= . The days will count as absences bu= t you will be allowed to make up your work either before or after the absence according to your teacher's discretion.

<= o:p>

C. College Day: Seniors are allowed 2 days during their senior= year to visit a college. You should prearrange this absence with the office with principal’s approval. These days will count as an excused absence. Work should be turned in prior to the absence or the day you come back. If additional college d= ays are necessary, students may use prearranged absences if approved by the principal. These absences WILL NOT= count as absences for exemption purposes.

D. Excused/Unexcused Absences: Absences are not to be viewed as d= ays you are entitled to take but are for personal illness, illness or death in immediate family, or prior arrangements approved by the administration. If you have been absent for any re= ason, you must make up the work you missed within the time limit set by the makeup work policy. Failure to make = up work may result in academic penalties. *Parents, please call the school by 10= :00 a.m. when students are absent. Stu= dents that do not return to school with a written excuse, will be counted as UNEXCUSED. A written excuse is required when the student returns even when you are checked out b= y a parent. (Also see <= u>Leaving Campus on Page 12 concerning leaving campus at lunch.)

&nb= sp;

Unexcused Absences: &nbs= p; If a student receives an unexcused absence the student shall be requ= ired to complete make-up work in a satisfactory manner. If you are absent from schoo= l on ten or more days or parts of days within a six-month period in the same sch= ool year, or if you are absent on three or more days or parts of days within a four-week period, the school district is required to file charges against y= ou and your parents that can result in a fine or other punishment by the state. <= span style=3D'font-size:6.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;layout-grid-mode:line'><= o:p>

Excessive Absences: &nbs= p; State law provides that "a student may not be given credit for = a class unless the student is in attendance at least 90% of the days during a semester/year" and requires local districts to "adopt policies establishing alternative ways for students to make up work or regain credit lost because of absences." If you are absent more than 10% of the time= in any semester, you may be in jeopardy of losing your credits for that semest= er.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> A Saturday/Early Release Day clock hour class will be scheduled for students who need to replace clock hours due to excessive absences.<= span style=3D'font-size:6.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;layout-grid-mode:line'><= o:p>

According to state law, students not meetin= g the 90% attendance requirement MAY NOT TAKE DRIVER EDUCATION, MAY NOT GET A LEARNER’S PERMIT, AND MAY NOT HAVE THEIR DRIVER LICENSE RENEWED. The principal must sign the Verification of Enrollment and Attendance State form (VOE) fo= r the state. This document will not= be given to students with attendance problems.

Sixth absence: After you = have been absent six times from any class during a semester, you will be advised= of your status. <= o:p>

Eighth absence: After the = eighth absence (maximum allowable absences), you will not be eligible for course credit if additional absences are incurred unless clock hours are made up i= n a Saturday/Early Release Day Clock Hour Class.

Appeal process: After nine absences, you may be granted course credit only by the local Credit Appeals Committee’s recommendation if you have fulfilled the required clock h= ours and completed all assignments required by the teacher.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> If you wish to appeal y= our case, obtain the form "Student Request for Credit Review" from the office, fill it out completely and return the form to your principal. The Credit Appeals Committee compo= sed of one or more of your teachers, the counselor, and your principal will review= the appeal request and determine whether you are eligible for credit. Items the appeals committee may ta= ke into consideration in determining their recommendations are:

(1) &n= bsp; doctor’s notes = &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; (3)extenuating circumstances (UIL, One-Act Play)

(2) &n= bsp; prior arrangements with the school administration= &nb= sp; (4) attendance in Clock Hour Clas= s.<= o:p>

Options of the Appeals Committee: &nbs= p; After review of the case, the Credit Appeals Committee may:

grant credit for the course, (2) deny credit for the course, or= (3) provide an alternate method to regain credit

&= nbsp;

Transfers: If you ent= er class late because of a transfer from another school district or whatever o= ther reason, you will be allowed absences pro-rated on the basis of days remaini= ng in the semester. If you were = previously enrolled, you will have the absences accumulated in the class you transferr= ed from carried forward into the class you enter. If you transfer out of the distric= t and have exceeded the number of absences allowable for credit, you will not rec= eive credit. You may petition for = credit by mail or in person with the same opportunities to present your case as any other student. Your transcrip= t, sent to another school district, will reflect no credit due to excessive absences.

<= o:p>

Saturday/Early Release Day Clock Hour Class= es: &nbs= p; You will be given the opportunity to make up clock hours missed due = to absences by attending a Saturday/Early Release Day Clock Hour Class. The class will meet for five hours= . One day of clock hour class will be equivalent to one school day.

you are detained by an emergency, your pare= nts must send a note of explanation. If you are detained by the office or a

teacher, you must have an admit slip from t= he office to be admitted to class. You are considered tardy if you are not in your

seat ready to work when the tardy bell fini= shes ringing. Tardies count against perfect attendance. Three tardies will

constitute one absence for all classes as far as EXEMPTIONS are concerned.<= /b>

Responsibility of an Athlete

General=

All athletes have a responsibility = to play to win, play fair, give their best, follow training rules, and exhibit good conduct at all times in a manner that is a credit to WLISD.

The fact that you have chosen to pa= rticipate in interscholastic athletics is indicative that you consider the rewards, privileges, and pleasures which you will receive from this participation to= be worth the price you must pay in meeting your responsibilities, following ru= les, and meeting the demands which are made on a student-athlete.

The privilege of representing the W= ink Athletic Program causes many things to be expected of you by your administration, coaches, teachers, parents, community, and most of all by y= our teammates and classmates. Ath= letes, as well as coaches, are always on display; we are judged by the company we = keep and our action in everyday life and at our school.

Specific

In t= he classroom, an athlete:

·   Must realize that he or she is a student fir= st, an athlete second. The student-athlete must devote sufficient time and energy to his or her studie= s to insure good and acceptable grades that meet U.I.L. requirements for participation.

·   Must maintain a satisfactory citizenship and behavior record by giving respectful attention to classroom activities and = by treating teachers, administrators, and fellow students with respect. Tardiness, horse-play, and unneces= sary actions are unacceptable behavior habits that if not corrected by the stude= nt may result in his or her suspension from the athletic program.

On c= ampus, or any school function, an athlete:

Will follow all Wink-Loving In= dependent School District rules and regulations.

Must maintain proper dress and appearance, good grooming and personal cleanliness.&nb= sp; You are a leader and you have only one chance to make a good, f= irst impression.

Will involve himself or herself in activities for= the betterment of the school and for what is right and good for his or her fellow students.

Will refrain from fighting, scuffling, horseplay,= and juvenile behavior in and around the school building.

=

During the athletic pe= riod and after school practice, an athlete:

Must notify the coach if he or she must miss a practice session. This i= s the responsibility of the athlete or their parents, not a friend. Very few reasons for absence = will prove to be acceptable to the coaches. Failure to report your absenc= e or excessive absences may result in dismissal from the team or program
Will not be tardy. Tardiness to athletic period = is an inexcusable as it is to any other class. Athletes need to be dressed a= nd ready for practice on time every day.

Will maintain a clean and neat locker space. Be proud of your dressing room facilities and keep them neat.

Will not engage in any inappropriate behavior in = the locker rooms.

Will dress decently as he or she leaves the dress= ing room.

Will not use a cell phone or other electronic dev= ices in the dressing rooms or athletic facilities without the permission of= a coach.

Will not engage in hazing of any form or degree.<= /li>

Dur= ing team travel, an athlete:

Will travel to and from all contests with the team. The coach may appr= ove an athlete returning home with the parents at their personal written requ= est.

Will dress neatly and properly on all trips. Coaches will specify the atti= re.

Will conduct himself or herself properly on the school bus or in any school vehicle.

Will conduct himself or herself with dignity and proper manners while eating in a restaurant with the team. The team will enter and leave= as a unit, and everyone will remain seated until the coach indicates that t= he team may go.

Will be informed of departure and approximate ret= urn time for each trip by the coach. It is your responsibility to be on time for all departures and = to inform your parents of the time to pick you up.

Will dress for all home games within the limits of school and team policies.

Ath= letic Injury, Medical, and Insurance Guidelines

Ath= letic Insurance

The Wink-Loving I.S.D. has purchased insurance coverage for students that participate in athletics. This policy provides coverage whil= e the student is an active participant in an athletic practice, games, and travel= in school vehicles to and from practice or games.

This insurance is a “secondary” policy, and it works well in combination with your personal insurance. The District’s liability is limited to payment of the premium of this policy. Expenses not paid by = this policy will be the responsibility of the parent and student. A copy of benefits is available in= the Superintendent’s Office.

Medical and Insurance Requirements

Each student who represen= ts our school in an interscholastic sport must have on file with the trainer or athletic director the following items prior to the first scheduled activity= of the sport.

A current UIL physical examination and a signed/d= ated Parent or Guardian Permit.

A current copy of the Emergency Release Form sign= ed by student and parent(s).

A current UIL Acknowledgment of Rules Form signed= by the student and parent(s).

A current copy of Parents Acknowledgment of Insur= ance Coverage signed by the student and parent(s).

A current UIL Anabolic Steroid Testing Form.

Injury<= /p>
All injuries must be repo= rted to the coach and/or trainer. Spe= cific instructions regarding treatment will be given to you by the coach and/or trainer at the beginning and during your season. If you are sent to a doctor by the trainer or coach, make sure that an accident form has been filled out for insurance purposes. All doctor visits must be in accordance with Wink-Loving I.S.D. athletic insurance guidelines.

Trai= ner

A licensed, certified, at= hletic trainer is employed by the school district and has provided your coaches wi= th instructions regarding treatment of athletic injuries. Together, the trainer and coaches = will work to provide you with the best care and conditioning possible.

Disc= ipline Management for Athletics

If an athlete is caught using any substance that = is harmful to their body.

Repeatedly violates the Discipline Management Pla= n.

Fails to show up to work-outs or games.

Theft.

Using language that is not conductive to a health= y, learning environment and is shocking to other people.

Fighting.

Misconduct.

Students over 18 and parents of minor stude= nts may inspect the student's records and request a correction if the records a= re inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy = or other rights. If the District refuses the request to amend the records, the requestor has the right to a hearing. If the records are n= ot amended as a result of the hearing, the requestor has 30 school days to exercise the right to place a statement commenting on the information in the student's record. Although improperly recorded grades may be challenged, parents and students are not allowed to contest a student's grade in a course through this process. Parents or students have the right= to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education if they believe the District is not in compliance with the law regarding student records.<= /o:p>

<= o:p>

Copies of student records are available at = a cost of $.25 per page, payable in advance. Parents may be denied copies of a student's records (1) after the student reaches age 18 and no longer a dependent for tax purposes; (2) when the student is attending an institutio= n of post-secondary education; (3) if the parent fails to follow proper procedur= es and pay the copying charge; or (4) when the District is given a copy of a c= ourt order terminating the parental rights.&nbs= p; If the student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunches and the parents are unable to view the records during regular school hours, upon written request of the parent, one copy of the record will be provided at no charge.

C.        The Semester Plan:

Wink High School operates on the two semesters per academic= year plan for scheduling of courses. Most courses are designed for the complete year due to the nature and depth of t= he course. Some courses are desi= gned for one semester in length and these courses are noted in the credit designation portion of the course description.

D.        General Academic Information:

You are required to take three semesters of physical education in sequence during your freshman and sophomore years; however, you may substitute marching band for the physical education requirement. Band students may choose to participate in both activities and will receive credit in both. If you present a doctor's statement regarding a condition, which makes physical education inadvisable, physical education will not be required.

SECTION V:&nb= sp; DISCIPLINE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

<= o:p>

1.  = ;    CONTENT OF APPROVED PROGRAM

<= o:p>

This program is Wink-Loving I.S.D.'s respon= se to requirements and guidelines of Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code. The law requires the District to d= efine misconduct that may or must result in a range of specific disciplinary consequences. The Code is a result of collaborat= ion among the District/Campus SBDMC, parents, and community members. The Code adopted by the Board of Trustees provides information and direction to students and parents regardi= ng standards of behavior as well as consequences of misconduct.

<= o:p>

Education in the Wink-Loving I.S.D. represe= nts a significant commitment of financial and human resources. The benefits a student derives fro= m this investment depend on the student's attitude toward learning and the student= 's adherence to high standards of behavior.

<= o:p>

2.  = ;    STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT [TEC 37]

<= o:p>

A.&n= bsp;           Disciplinary Authority: The district's rules of conduct and discipline are established to achieve and maintain

order in the schools. A student whose behavior shows disrespect for others, including interference with access to public educati= on and safe environment, will be subject to disciplinary action.

(7.) &= nbsp;    When criminal mischief is committed, and the interest of the school is involved.=

<= o:p>

Discipline will be designed to correct the misconduct and encourage adherence by all students to their responsibilitie= s as citizens of the District.

Dear Parents and Guardians of Wink School students:

The attached handbook and Code of Student C= onduct describes procedures and regulations which we believe will help your student get the most out of his or her education and which will ensure that the Wink-Loving schools remain a good place to learn.

At the heart of this information are polici= es passed by our Board of Trustees to guarantee a stable learning environment = and the regulations necessary to execute those policies. The basic purpose of this handbook= is to provide information vital to you and your student. Much of the text is devoted to def= ining acceptable patterns of conduct and appropriate consequences for failure to comply with these regulations. The state refers to this as a discipline management program.<= /p>
<= o:p>

The Principal Will:
1.      =     Elimin= ate verbal warnings from the list of resources used by the principal if a teacher send= s a child to the principal's office to be disciplined.

<= o:p>

2.      =     Use co= rporal punishment as a first choice when it is appropriate in the principal's judg= ment to use corporal punishment. Principals may make this conditional upon completing a previously assigned task. Principals will attempt to contact parents/guardians prior to corporal punishment being administered but will proceed if no contact is made. If the parent(s) oppose the use of corporal punishment, the student will be assigned to ISS (in-school suspens= ion) for a minimum of three consecutive days.

<= o:p>

3.      =     Use IS= S (in school suspension) or AEP (alternative education placement) as a second alternative.

<= o:p>

4.      =     Use de= tentions only when someone is there to make students complete a specified task.=

<= o:p>

5.      =     Give d= ue consideration to giving the same punishment for the same offense every time, such as anyone fighting and throwing a punch will receive 3 swats. Teachers and principals have devel= oped a list of consequences for each of the categories of offenses listed in the Discipline Management Plan in the Student Handbook.

<= o:p>

6.      =     Admini= ster a severe punishment for being disrespectful to a teacher or other adult with a minimum penalty of three swats. This is a minimum penalty and may be increased, at the principalR= 17;s discretion.

&nbs= p;

7.      =     Carry = out discipline in a timely manner.

<= o:p>

8.      =     Have graffiti and property destruction repaired immediately. Persons caught doing graffiti or destroying school property shall receive a minimum of three swats for a fir= st offense.

<= o:p>

9.      =     Enforce rules effectively such as chewing gum and dress code violations. Repeated offenses shall require mo= re severe discipline.

<= o:p>

10.      = Take action to eliminate student harassment= by other students. All staff mem= bers should report harassment when observed.&nb= sp; Repeated offenses of harassment shall require more severe discipline= .

<= o:p>

The Wink-Loving ISD staff as well as the community has a high expectation of behavior for Wink students. Our student= s have always received compliments on their behavior both in school and at out of = town functions. The district will continue to hold these high expectations for student behavior.

A law that affected average daily attendance (ADA) began in 2000 - 2001 allowing students that are absent for Board appr= oved activities, mentorships, Medicaid eligible services, religious holidays, or health care appointments, to be counted as present for ADA purposes only if= the District has adopted a policy requiring parental consent for such absences,= has distributed its policy to staff and to parents of all students, and the par= ent has consented to the absence. Due to this change in the law, documentation of absences will be more important than ever. For ADA accounting purposes, attendance is registered during the second period each day (8:33-9:18). It will be in th= e best interest of district taxpayers for you to

arrange doctor, dentist, and other necessary appointments during the day other than second period. We ask your cooperation to help our financial situation by encouraging your child to be in school if at all possible.

Your student is required to return this pag= e to school, signed by you and your student.&nb= sp; Your signature signifies that you have received this handbook and Co= de of Student Conduct and that y= ou understand the responsibilities outlined.&= nbsp; This form is kept in your student's folder.
