Code of ConductThe Board of Education recognizes that learning environments that are safe and supportive can increase student achievement . Canajoharie Central School has an extensive Code of Conduct that applies to all students, school personnel, parents

and visitors when on school property (including school buses/vehicles) or attending any school-sponsored activities . Expectations for behavior are set within the Code of Conduct .

• Athletes failing more than one subject must correct all failures following the issuance of report cards or five-week progress reports .

Athletes will be required to meet daily with a teacher of one of the failed subjects in order to participate in sports practice or competition until the athlete achieves a passing grade .

• Athletes will not use tobacco, alcohol and illegal drugs .

Information


That parents have the right to inspect student surveys concerning one or more of the eight protected areas of student information . Access must be granted within a reasonable amount of time after the request and before administration of the survey .

That parents can opt out their child out of the administration of any such survey, activities that involve the collection/disclosure of a student’s personal information for marketing purposes and any non-emergency, invasive physical exam or screening except for hearing, vision and scoliosis screenings or as permitted or required by state law .

Of the specific or approximate dates during the school year when survey activities are scheduled .

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)Districts must annually notify parents and students over 18 (“eligible students”) of the following rights under FERPA (also known as the “Buckley Amendment”):

• Parents/eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student’s education records .

• Parents/eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which the parent/student believes to be inaccurate or misleading .

Schools must have written permission from the parent/eligible student in order to release any info from the student’s education record, except when allowed without consent under FERPA (including to other school district officials with a legitimate educational interest) .

The notification must include:

• The procedure to inspect records & request amendment;

• Who constitutes a school official and what constitutes a legitimate educational interest (one of the allowable disclosure exceptions); and

• The right of parents to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office .

• The notification method is left up to the district .

Student PrivacyUnder the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment [PPRA], districts must notify parents and students:

Parents must be notified “directly, such as through US mail or email,” at least annually (at the beginning of the school year) and “after any substantive change in privacy policies .” For surveys and activities scheduled after the school year starts, parents must be provided reasonable notification of the planned activities and surveys .

Schools must get prior written parental consent before students are required to submit to surveys that are funded by Department of Education funds and that contains questions about one or more of the eight protected areas .

Pesticide/Asbestos NotificationUnder state law, Canajoharie Central School is required to provide notification that pesticide products may be used in school buildings throughout the year . Parents, guardians and staff may request 48-hour advance written notification, including the date and place where the pesticide will be used, the name of the pesticide and its EPA registration number and who to contact for more information . To be placed on the list, call the director of facilities at 673-6347 . In 1989, the Canajoharie Central School District submitted the district’s Asbestos Management Plan to the New York State Education Department . In accordance with the EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1987 (40 CFR Part 763), this memo is intended to fulfill annual notification, stating that the Asbestos Notification Plan for school building is available and kept on file at the district office .
