MISSION STATEMENT
As a Catholic school, we continue the tradition of a Christ-centered community inspired by the Sisters of St. Joseph, fostering in students academic excellence, the desire for lifelong learning, and personal growth, while inspiring them to be respectful, just and socially responsible citizens of the world.
SCHOOL HISTORY AND TRADITION
St. Joseph Morrow Park Catholic Secondary School is a school for young women founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto. The congregation was founded in LePuy, France, in the year 1648 by a French Jesuit named Jean-Pierre Medaille.
From the beginning, the community was active in the care of orphans, the sick and in the education of the young. The Sisters of St. Joseph arrived in Toronto in 1851 and since that time have made an impressive contribution to Catholic education in Toronto. St. Joseph Morrow Park came about as a result of the relocation and expansion of St. Joseph located at Bay and Wellesley. The new Motherhouse was built in Willowdale a property given to the con-gregation by Frederick Morrow, after whom it is named along with the name of the patron saint of the congregation. Both a day school and boarding school were part of the campus. In September 1960, St. Joseph Morrow Park opened with an enrollment of 147 girls and a staff of nine sisters and one lay teacher.
Today the school is operated by the Toronto Catholic District School Board. It is organized on a semester system. The SJMP student uniform consists of the MacKinnon plaid kilt, black slacks, green vest/pullover, white blouse, hunter green or black socks/leotards and black shoes.

St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S. CLASS SCHEDULES 2018-2019
It is with great pleasure that I address you as the Principal of St. Joseph Morrow Park Catholic Secondary School (SJMP). You only need to walk the halls or stop by any classroom to experience the exciting environment at SJMP. Students are eager to learn, and faculty and administrators are continuously thinking of new and innovative ways to meet the needs of their students. Since the St. Joseph Sisters opened the doors to this school in September 1960, young girls have had the privilege of being educated in a Catholic environment that strives to form strong, confident, and independent women who are well-equipped to continue their education on any path of their choice. We are grateful to the St. Joseph Sisters who began this tradi-tion and the dedicated staff who continue this well-established practise. Our school offers a strong extra-curricular program in the arts and sports areas, and encourages participation in a wide assortment of clubs and activities including Social Justice Groups, Newspaper, Yearbook, Athletics, Drama, Band, Choir, Yearbook, Student Council, and others. There is no reason for a St. Joseph Morrow Park student not to be involved. If there is not an existing activity that is of interest, there are always students who are ready to take on a leadership role to initiate a new group. I challenge all parents/guardians to encourage your daughters to get involved in the many and varied ministries that are offered at the school and to take advantage of the support offered from our caring staff. Getting involved and making use of the resources available will help make this school year one that you and your daughters can be proud of. St. Joseph Morrow Park is a special, welcoming place, and a great environment in which to mature as you journey through your high school years. You will not find a more caring, dedicated, and committed faculty, administration, and support staff who truly believe our students are second to none. We believe in the talent of all our students, and we strive as a community for all to reach their full potential. On behalf of Ms. Garisto and the entire SJMP staff, I wish you a most
successful year.

TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ISSUES
DROP-OFF ZONES
Parents are asked to drop off students only in the drop-off zones found on the west side of the
parking lot. The students should not be dropped off on Bayview Ave., since this poses a serious
safety hazard to both pedestrians and drivers. All drivers are asked to be patient and courteous
when visiting the school, keeping in mind the limited space in the parking area. Please obey the
traffic signs and be expedient in dropping off and picking up your daughter.
STUDENT SAFETY
Students should not be sitting on curbs; standing in the roadway of school traffic for this poses a safety hazard. Students please cross at designated areas and away from the gates. PARKING
All parking spaces have been assigned to staff members. No parking spaces are available to students.
Vehicles parked in the fire route driveway pose a serious safety hazard and may be tagged and possibly towed at the owners' expense.
All parking on school property is for school business only.
FIRE ALARMS
Students and staff are expected to respond to all fire alarms by clear-ing the school quietly and promptly as directed by the yellow-posted Fire Evacuation procedures in each area of the school. Everyone in the school building will follow standard fire drill procedures as out-
lined by the Fire Department. Students should not go to their lockers to obtain coats or other belongings during a fire drill.
Pulling a false alarm is a criminal offense and will be dealt with ac-cordingly. This holds true for interfering in any way with school fire fighting equipment: fire hoses and extinguishers.
ACTIVITY FEE
The activity fee is used for school yearbook, guest speakers, student agenda book, school excursion subsidies, photo student identification card, course calendar, combination locks (new students only), school newsletter, school-sponsored activities, school newspaper, and mailings (postage). CATHOLIC SCHOOL PARENT COUNCIL
The Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC) meets 6 times per year. All parents are en-couraged to participate in making this council a strong, positive, and vibrant voice in advo-cacy for the school community. TRANSCRIPTS
Official transcripts for current students (from Student Services) are available free of charge. Official transcripts are available from St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S. Student Services for a period of five years after leaving the school. The first year after graduation, no fees will be charged. In subsequent years, however, students will be charged fees according to TCDSB policy:
First official transcript - $24.00 Additional transcripts - $ 3.00 each
Transcripts will be picked up by the student. Courier charges, if applicable, will be paid by the student.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
The community of St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S. is made up of parents, students and
staff, who believe that the spiritual, social and educational development of the individ-
ual is essential in contributing to the growth of every student. Self-discipline aids the
individual in developing healthy and productive relationships with others. This belief is
reinforced in the Ministry of Education's province wide Code of Conduct.
In the school, discipline is required to provide an atmosphere of order in which stu-
dents will develop intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Every student of St. Joseph
Morrow Park C.S.S. is expected to take on responsibilities that allow her to develop
and demonstrate the self-discipline needed to be successful in contributing to the
school community and living out our mission statement. These responsibilities are
grouped under three main headings:
ATTENDANCE, UNIFORM, and EXPECTED BEHAVIOURS.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
1. ABSENCE FROM CLASS WITHOUT PERMISSION
NO student is allowed to be on the school premises unless she is signed in and attending all classes. If a student misses a class without parental permission, she will be disciplined accordingly. Course credits may be in jeopardy due to excessive absenteeism. First and subsequent absence

2. LATE ARRIVALS
Students are expected to be in their period 1 class at 8:25. Students arriving late will be marked late. Signing in after Period 1

Detention Lates for all other classes will be documented and dealt with by subject teachers. Students will be referred to the Administration should lates become habitual. For periods 2, 3 & 4: If a student arr ives after attendance has been sent to the Attendance Office, she should go to the attendance office for an admit slip.
3. ILLNESS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY
A student must report to the Main Office where parents/guardians will be notified and arrangements will be made for her to go home, if necessary.
4. LEAVING EARLY DURING SCHOOL DAY
Students may not leave the school without parental/guardian permission. A note explaining the reason for the request to leave early must be brought to the Attendance Secretary BEFORE school begins. A student must sign out in person at the Attendance Office before leaving the school. Once a student has signed out, it is expected that she will leave the school property promptly. Every effort should be made to schedule all appointments for after school hours.
5. EXTENDED ABSENCE

RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION IN THE TCDSB
In concert with the Assembly of Catholic Bishops of Ontario, the TCDSB sup-ports freedom of religion and an individual’s right to manifest his or her religious beliefs and observances. The right to freedom of religion, however, is not abso-lute and religious accommodation in the Board is carried out in the larger context of the Catholic education system and denominational rights of Catholic schools. The Board, at all times, will seek to accommodate an individual’s right to free-dom of religion in a manner that not only respects the individual’s beliefs but the principles of the Catholic Church. It is understood all students registered in St. Joseph Morrow Park acknowledge and are committed to the school community that proclaims, celebrates, and cher-ishes its Catholic identity and traditions. At the same time , St. Joseph Morrow Park is enriched and is committed to providing an environment that is inclusive, safe and that is free of barriers based on religion. With respect to religious ac-commodation, the TCDSB also acknowledges that all students, in accordance with the best of what our Catholic Church offers in its social teachings and reflec-tive practice, are entitled to their rights and responsibilities under the Ontario Human Rights Code. In the spirit of respect and inclusion, the TCDSB will work cooperatively and take all reasonable steps, to provide accommodation to individual requests to facilitate her religious beliefs and practices. We would ask those seeking accom-modations to make their requests at the start of the school year so that considera-tion can be given early on. For further information on religious accommodation please consult with the school administration. Additional information on the religious accommodation guidelines can found at www.tcdsb.org/religiousaccommodation.htm
Loving God, we believe that everyone is a gift and belongs to your family for we are made in your image and likeness. As a community of believers rooted in Christ, may we always celebrate your pres-ence with us and appreciate both the gifts and re-sponsibilities of belonging to this community of faith. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the intercession of Mother Mary, and all the Saints, may we become all you intend us to be— a reflection of Christ in our world. We pray through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

EXPECTED STUDENT BEHAVIOUR
The fundamental expectation of students in our Catholic Schools will follow the ethic of our
Catholic faith, where empathy, care for others, and respect for life are present. If you are aware
that a student or group of students is in a dangerous situation, then you should tell a caring adult
in the school community immediately.
Students must follow the Ontario Code of Conduct.
1. COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION
Our school community operates on the premise of mutual respect and dignity. With this in mind, students are expected to co-operate in class and in all other areas of the school by responding to the requests of a staff member.
A student must, when asked by a staff member, identify herself by giving her name and if requested, must accompany the staff member to the office.
Steps of Intervention – Failure to cooperate may include one or more of: parent/guardian con-tact, detention, assignment/letter of apology, and community service (does not count toward compulsory service 40 hours)
2. CLASSROOM
The classroom teacher will handle all discipline problems in their classroom. If unacceptable behaviour persists, the teacher will call home and discuss the problem with the parent/guardian.
If behaviour is unacceptable, a teacher may refer a student to Administration and further inter-vention will be made.
Suspension from school may be warranted, as outlined in our school Progressive Discipline Policy.A re-entry interview involving the student/parent /guardian /Administration and guidance counselor will follow a suspension.
3. CAFETERIA/HALLWAYS/LUNCH PERIODS
All garbage and recyclable materials must be cleared from all surfaces and placed in the proper containers.
Students are to remain in the cafeteria for the lunch period. In good weather, students may eat outside in designated areas on school property.
Full uniform is to be worn in the cafeteria; no coats or non uniform sweaters allowed.
Junior students are not to leave school property during lunch.
Students’ failure to comply with lunch and hallway protocol will be assigned an appropriate consequence. 4. NO LOITERING
Students are not allowed to stand or sit anywhere around the gates of the school. Loitering poses a safety problem for cars entering and leaving the property. Offenders will be directed to the Administration and be dealt with accordingly.
5. STUDY PERIOD
Students who have a spare during the day must use the cafeteria or library as their study location if the library is available.
6. TEXTBOOKS/LIBRARY RESOURCES
Students are expected to maintain all borrowed textbooks, equipment and resources in good condition. All texts, library books, and school equipment lent to the student must be returned to the course teacher by semester’s end. Students will pay the replacement cost of any outstanding materials.
7. PERSONAL PROPERTY
The school is not responsible for any property lost, stolen or missing. Students should not bring valuables or large sums of money to school. It is recommended that all personal belongings be identified with the name of the student owner and stored at all times in their locker when on school property. Students are to respect their own property as well as the property of others.
8. VISITORS / TRESPASSING
Students are expected to contribute to and support the sense of safety and security of every per-son in the school by refraining from inviting visitors onto the school premises before, during and after school hours.
9. SMOKING
The Toronto Catholic District School Board is a smoke-free environment and is governed by the regulation outlined in the Tobacco Control Act, which is an Ontario law that was passed in 1994.
Smoking is not allowed in school buildings or on school property at any time.
Smoking is not allowed in vehicles on school property or school excursions
Students found smoking in the school building or on school property will be dealt with by the school administrators and possibly by the Tobacco Enforcement Public Health.
Effective July 1, 2018 the following will also apply pursuant to the new “smoke-free”

TCDSB ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY FOR TECHNOLOGY
The TCDSB Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) reflects the growing technological presence of electronic communication systems in our schools and emphasizes the use of technology in a respectful manner that upholds the dignity of the human person and is consistent with our Catholic teachings. It recognizes that in the 21st century there is a shared responsibility between the Board, families, schools and students to provide guidance on the appropriate use of technology. The AUP has been created to establish guidelines for users to understand what governs “safe and appropriate use”.
The AUP defines electronic communication systems to include social media, website publishing, and the use of personal electronic devices (PED). In addition it addresses expectations surrounding the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy effective as of September 2012. While these devices are not mandatory for classroom activities, they may be included when there is a clear educational purpose that has been identified by the teacher. All students are expected to famil-iarize themselves with the AUP. The full text of the TCDSB AUP can be found at: http://www.tcdsb.org/board/policies/aup
Summary of the AUP expectations for students when using the TCDSB electronic communication system: Behaviour Expectations:
All students must sign a "Student Access Agreement" before receiving their individual user accounts and gaining access to the Board network. If a student is less than 18 years of age, a parent or guardian must also sign the agreement.
Using the Board’s electronic communication systems is a privilege, not a right, and can be restricted or, if appropriate, removed altogether.
Individual user accounts must remain private.
Students must act ethically, lawfully and in an appropriate manner when using the Board’s electronic communication systems. Personal Safety & Privacy:
Students will promptly inform a school Administrator or teacher if they receive any inappropriate communication that makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
Students should always protect their personal information and privacy. Password Management: TCDSB student logins grant access to WiFi, school computers and devices, and educational third-party services e.g., Google Apps for Education (GAFE). Password management is very im-portant and students must personally create their own password and it must be a strong password. Students must keep their password secret, and never disclose or share a password. When creating a password we recommend that you make it easy to remember, but hard for others to guess. Avoid using personal information such as your name, email address, or mailing address. Password creation checklist: - 8-16 characters - At least 1 upper-case letter - At least 1 lower-case letter - At least 1 number - No space - No accented characters Unacceptable Activities:
Attempts to access unauthorized areas of the Board’s system, or any other computer system through the Board’s network. This includes attempting to access another user’s files or attempting to log on using another person’s account.
Malicious destruction or abuse of the Board’s network, computer systems, hardware, software, or electronic devices.
Accessing, installing or distributing unauthorized equipment, software or media files on the Board’s network or computer systems.
Engaging in any illegal activities such as the sale of drugs or alcohol, criminal activity or threatening the safety of another person.
Engaging in any inappropriate behaviour such as cyberbullying, personal attacks, threats, harassment, hate motivated and discriminatory behaviours at school, school related events or in circumstances that negatively impact on the school climate. These actions will be dealt with according to the Education Act or school codes of conduct.
Impersonation or using a false identity.
Any use of inappropriate language (obscene, profane, threatening, harassing, bullying, racist or disrespectful) posted publically, privately, or on any websites. Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement Students must not plagiarize works that they find on the Internet and properly obtain permission and/or site original ownership for copyright materials. Bring Your Own Computer / Personal Electronic Device (PED): The student use of PEDs is a privilege, not a right and can be removed if it interferes with student learning, duties and obligations. Students are allowed to bring their own Personal Electronic Device (PED) including cell phones and laptops to school, but not to class unless permitted by the teacher, for an educational purpose. For educational purposes, students may use their PEDs when not in class in the following designated areas: library, cafeteria and glass office. All other times PEDs MUST be securely stored away by the student and in silent mode during regular school hours. A student who uses a PED in class without the teacher’s permission is subject to regular classroom and school disciplinary procedures. The teacher may send a student to see an administrator if a PED is used inappropriately during class. The administrator may confiscate the device and store it securely until the matter is resolved. The school administration may decide when and where PEDs are permitted and prohibited within a school environment. Students may connect their devices to the Board’s Guest network for internet access only, in designated study areas and as per school policy. PEDs are NOT permitted in examination rooms, unless the teacher has granted permission. Board Technical support will be not be provided for any hardware, software or connectivity issues, and users may not install any Board/Ministry licenced software, unless the software has been licensed for home use. All PEDs must have anti-virus malware protection on them prior to connecting to the Board’s network. If a PED is suspected of interfering with the Board’s network it must be disconnected and securely stored by the student. Students may not use PEDs to capture video or images in private areas such as washrooms or change rooms. When photographing a student or students on school property their consent must be granted. Parental/guardian consent is re-quired for photographing a student with special needs. Any images being posted or transmitted electronically while photographed on school property or at a school event must have the permission of the individual(s) or the principal. Any images or video that negatively impact the school climate must not be captured, transmitted or posted under any circumstances.
Accessing TCDSB Wi-Fi Network with a Personal Device The TCDSB provides students with Wi-Fi access on their personal devices for educational purposes only. Students must restrict their use of Wi-Fi to this end. Access to Wi-Fi with a personal device is restricted to the TCDSB-Guest net-work. Any personal device connected to a Wi-Fi network other than the TCDSB-Guest (including but not limited to TCDSB-Misc) will be identified and banned from all TCDSB Wi-Fi networks. Disciplinary Consequences: In the event that a student violates this policy, the student (and parent, where applicable) will be provided with a notice of violation and will meet with a school administrator/designate. A school administrator/designate may deny, restrict or suspend a student’s access to the Board’s network upon any violation of this policy or other rules of the school. Appropriate legal authorities will be contacted if there is any suspicion of illegal activities. The Board will cooperate fully with legal authorities in any investigation relating to illegal activities conducted through the Board’s system.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY A.29 Policy The T. C. D. S. B. provides employees and students with access to the Board's electronic communication system, which includes Internet access. Within the context of its mission and vi-sion, the Board's electronic communication system assists in preparing students for success in life and work in the 21st century by providing them with electronic access to a wide range of information and the opportunity to communicate with people throughout the world. The T. C. D. S. B.'s Acceptable Use Policy is broken down into the following regulations:
1. Board Responsibilities and Parental Responsibilities a) The Board will notify students and parents about the Board network and the policies governing its use. All students will sign a "Student Access Agreement" in which they will commit to abide by this policy prior to gaining access to the Internet and an individual, class and/or school account. If the student is under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian must also sign the agreement. b) This policy contains restrictions on accessing inappropriate material. There is a wide range of material available on the Internet, some of which may not be consistent with the code of ethics advocated by the TCDSB. The Board recognizes that parents share responsibility for transmitting Catholic moral values to their children. The Board will expect teachers to discuss with their students what material is and is not acceptable for access through the Board's system. The Board will expect parents to do the same. c) The Board will provide students and parents with guidelines for student safety while using the Internet. d) Parents are responsible for monitoring their child's use of the Internet if the system is accessed from home.
The Board's Acceptable Use Policy also includes the following: 2. Personal Safety (restrictions for students only) 3. Illegal Activities 4. System Security 5. Inappropriate Language 6. Respect for Privacy 7. Respect for Resource Limits 8. Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement 9. Access to Inappropriate material
The Disciplinary Process a) In the event that a student has violated this policy, the student (and parent when applicable) will be provided with notice of such violation and given an opportunity to present an ex-
planation before the administrator. b) Disciplinary action will be tailored to meet specific concerns related to the violation and assist the student in gaining the self-discipline necessary to behave appropriately on an elec-
tronic network. c) A school administrator may deny, restrict, or suspend a student's access to the Board's system upon any violation of this policy or other rules of the school. d) Appropriate legal authorities will be contacted if there is any suspicion of illegal activities. The complete Policy for Acceptable Electronic Use is available on the T.C.D.S.B.'s Website at www.tcdsb.org

40 HOURS COMMUNITY SERVICE
Students must complete 40 hours of community service. Students must bring a letter on official letterhead, from the volunteer organization. This letter should contain the student’s name, num-ber of completed hours volunteered and a summary of the activities. It is to be signed by a rep-resentative of that organization. Students who do community work within the St. Joseph Mor-row Park C.S.S. community may obtain a form from Student Services to record volunteer hours.
It is strongly recommended that students complete their 40 hours of community service by the end of grade 10 and ensure that it is recorded on their credit-counseling summary. Religious Education Credits
Religion is a compulsory subject at St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S. In order to qualify for partic-ipation in the St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S. graduation ceremony, students must successfully complete one Religion credit for each year they are in attendance at St. Joseph from Grades 9-12. School Liturgies and Retreats (as part of the Religion Credit)
Part of your attendance at St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S. is your willingness to accept the values and traditions of this Catholic school community. On different occasions during the school year students will have an opportunity to participate in celebrations of faith through either litur-gies/prayer services/or retreats. These activities are scheduled and part of our regular school day and all students must attend.
HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework is an important and relevant learning activity extending beyond the regular school day. Homework should meet the individual needs of students and assist them in assuming re-sponsibility for their learning through the development of self-discipline, time management and the cultivation of good work habits. It should enable regular ongoing dialogue between students, teachers and parents/guardians and help prepare students to reach course expectations and future learning. The Toronto Catholic District School Board’s Homework Policy indicates that students in Grades 9-10 can expect 6-10 hours of homework per week and Grades 11-12 can expect 10 – 20 hours per week. This amount of time can vary depending on individual student abilities and on the courses a student may be enrolled in during any given semester. Homework Tips:
Pick a good time and place to do homework
Remember to budget enough time for lengthier projects and assignments, tests and ex-aminations
Spend more time and complete more difficult homework first
Students should ask their subject teacher for help if homework expectations are not clear ACADEMIC SUPPORT Teachers are available for extra help before and after school. Students are encouraged to make arrangements with their subject teachers to get this extra help. A student may also arrange for peer tutoring when she experiences difficulty in specific subjects through the Student Services Department & Guidance. Homework help sessions are available daily before and after school. The Special Education Department is also available to students who have an Individual Educa-tion Plan (IEP).
MISSED or LATE EVALUATIONS OF TERM WORK (70% of FINAL MARK)
Late submissions will not be accepted after assignments have been returned to the rest of the class after which ample time has been provided by the teacher to meet expectations. If a student does not meet a closure date, the teacher may choose to assess the completion of the expectation in another manner. Such situations require written documentation specifying reasons. MISSED FINAL EVALUATIONS (30% of FINAL MARK)
Any missed evaluations must have medical documentation for any make up or reevaluation to oc-cur. ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION and REPORTING
Report cards are an important part of the evaluation process. Mid-term report cards are issued to students in November and April. Final report cards are issued in February and early July.
Progress letters and/or phone calls will be used to contact parents/guardians early progress after the first month of the course.
A course Information Sheet (CIS) that outlines the overall curriculum expectations, evalua-tion and course policies will be made available to all students.
All final course marks will contain 70% term work and 30% final evaluations. ACADEMIC AWARDS
Students will be recognized for their achievement(s) through the following awards:
A. SUBJECT AWARDS – highest mark of the course
B. ATHLETIC AWARDS – team achievements
C. GRADUATE AWARDS – various awards based on community and academic success throughout the high school years at St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S.
D. HONOUR ROLL - the minimum average is 80% for the school year (Sept.- June). COURSES must have been taken at St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S. day school. Night school, summer school courses, correspondence, or e-courses cannot be included in the student average for honour roll purposes. Students must be enrolled in St. Joseph Morrow Park C.S.S. on a full time basis as per each grade.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES
Scholarships that are offered by various institutions and organizations are available to students with outstanding achievement in academics and extracurricular/ community involvement. Bursaries are awarded to students based on financial need. Information is made available through P.A. Announce-ments and Student Services Bulletin Board.
SCHOOL SERVICES CHAPLAINCY The Chaplaincy team helps to develop a community of faith within the school. It plans and facili-tates a variety of celebrations and activities including school Masses, prayer services, retreats and social justice and community service activities. Chaplaincy is at the service of staff and students in need of guidance, support or direction. Our school chapel is available for staff and students for quiet prayer and reflection. .
