STUDENT ID CARDS

Students will receive a photo identification card at the beginning of the school year that they will carry with them while attending school. Please show or surrender the card whenever you are requested to do so by a staff member or school bus driver. Refusal to identify yourself, refusal to surrender your ID card or lying about your identity will be considered insubordination and will be dealt with accordingly. Students may not alter or deface their ID card in any way. The card will be used for student identification, as a hall pass, use and/or check-out of library materials, computer and computer repair, and cafeteria purchases. Lost cards will be replaced for a fee of $3.00.

Drug Testing

Every student in extra & co-curricular activities has to sign up for drug testing.

You will have to turn in a green drug testing form to have a drug test.

If you refuse to take the drug test… you will be ineligible to do extra-curricular or co-curricular activities.

NOTE: Freshman and new students need to sign up ASAP or just before their first activity begins.

Computer Usage• All internet users must have a signed Acceptable

Internet Use Agreement (AIUA) on file.• The Joplin School District reserves the right to any

material stored in files.• Information contained on the network is placed there

for general information purposes.

Procedures regarding Tardies

Each student will get two tardies per class and on the 3rd tardy, a consequence will be assigned, either by the classroom teacher or a referral will be sent to

the office, then discipline will be assigned by the student’s grade level principal.

ATTENDANCE

Each student should not exceed eight (8) days per semester if he/she expects to earn credit in each course enrolled (Note: Earning course credit requires that students meet the attendance requirement, earn a passing grade in the course, and take the final exam for the course unless exempt because of the attendance incentive. The attendance requirement required is figured on a class-by-class basis). Absences are categorized as either Excused or Unexcused (Truancy is considered an Unexcused absence).

RE-ENTRY AFTER ABSENCE:

When a student is absent, the parent should call the principal’s office by 9:00 am to explain the reason for the absence (in some cases, additional documentation may be required: Dr. notes, counseling appointments, etc).

Failure to do so could result in a check by the attendance secretary and principal.

If a student leaves school during school hours, he/ she will need to sign out in the attendance/principal’s office with a verified reason. Upon return to school during regular school hours, students will need to sign in at the attendance/principal’s office for proper verification.
