STUDENT HANDBOOK

VILAS SCHOOL DIST. RE-5

2021-2022















Whole Child Education in a Family Atmosphere



















FORWARD


This handbook is designed to foster a spirit of cooperation between the student body, the school, and the community.  It reflects many of the standards expected of them.  This handbook is not a contract, nor is it meant to be all-inclusive.  It should, however, be looked upon as general guide for students, teachers, and parents with regard to good citizenship and efficiency in daily school life.                                                                                


The student handbook contains information needed by students and parents during the school year.  It is organized alphabetically by topic.  Students are addressed as “the student”, “student”, “the child”, or “children”.  The term “the students’ parent” refers to the parent, legal guardian, or the person who has agreed to assume school-related responsibility for the student.

WELCOME


Welcome to Vilas School!  You are a member of the student body of a school of which we are very proud and one we invite you to help improve.  We have a strong, dedicated, and enthusiastic faculty and staff.  Vilas School has already established a fine reputation in all programs.  Students are expected to dedicate themselves to continue to build on that reputation.  


Mission Statement:


It is the principal mission of the Vilas School District to support social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth to develop students for success.


Equal Educational Opportunities 

Every student of this school district shall have equal educational opportunities regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin or handicap. Further, no student shall on the basis of sex be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity conducted by the district. More specifically, as prescribed by legal requirements, the school districts will treat its students without discrimination on the basis of sex as this pertains to participation in course offerings, athletics, counseling, employment assistance and extra- curricular activities. 


Sexual Harassment 

It shall be a violation of policy for any staff member or student to harass students or staff through conduct or communications of a sexual nature (even if the harasser and the student being harassed are the same sex and whether or not the student resists or submits to the harasser). 

Sexual harassment may include (but is not limited to) unwelcome sexual advances, requests or threats for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, sex-oriented verbal “kidding,” abuse, or harassment, pressure for sexual activity, repeated and/or unwelcome remarks to a person with sexual or demeaning implications, unwelcome touching (i.e. petting, pinching, or constant brushing against another’s body), or any verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature which has the effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s educational performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational environment. 

Students are encouraged to report all incidents of sexual harassment to a teacher, counselor, or Principal and file a formal grievance. All matters involving sexual harassment reports shall remain confidential to the extent possible as long as doing so does not preclude the school from responding effectively to the harassment or preventing future harassment. 


DAILY SCHEDULE

The school building will be open for all students at 7:45 a.m. Students will be allowed in the building at an earlier time if an appointment has been made with an instructor previously.

School will begin at 7:55 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. There will be 7 periods in the day.

The school building will close at 4:15 p.m. Students are required to leave the school premises at this time unless they are required to attend school activities or meetings or are working under the direct supervision of a teacher or staff member.

ACCOUNTABILITY

All students will be held accountable for their actions.  It is the responsibility of each student to:

  •   follow the rules set out in this handbook,

  •   be prepared for each class,

  •   ensure all assignments are prepared properly and turned in on time.

  •   conduct himself/herself in a manner that positively reflects on the     

    School and the community of Vilas.


ADMISSION TO GAMES

The fees for Home Athletic games are as follows:

K-12 Students ---------------- $3.00

Adults ------------------------------ $4.00

Senior Citizens --------------- Free

Vilas Students and Staff___ Free

Parents will be called to pick up their children if they are unsupervised and being disruptive at any school function.

  

Athletic/Extra-Curricular Activity Eligibility

To be eligible to participate in interscholastic competition or extra-curricular activities such as dances, and all school activities not directly tied to a required classroom activity, a student must:

  1. If the activity is governed by CHSAA, students must meet all of the CHSAA eligibility requirements.

  2. If required by the activity, students must have a physical examination completed and cards on file in the office.

  3. Meet Vilas eligibility requirements.  Two failing grades during any reporting period constitutes ineligibility for the next weekly eligibility period.

  4. Teachers will submit their weekly eligibility through Infinite Campus by Tuesday at 10:00 A.M.  Eligibility for participation in athletics competitions or activities will be from Wednesday through Tuesday of the ensuing week.

  5. Students who appear on the list as ineligible will not be allowed to participate in any type of interscholastic competition or activity until the next eligibility check indicates they are academically eligible. 

  6. Citizenship (e.g. classroom behavior) can be a determining factor of eligibility in a class as determined by the administration.  

  7. Special Education student’s eligibility is determined on the IEP (Individual Education Program) and effort in class.


Truancy shall make a student ineligible for that day’s competition.  Habitual truancy will result in suspension from the activity or activities in which the student participates.  An excused absence does not prohibit a student from practice or participation; however, a student must be in school for at least five class periods on the day of or before the date of an event or he/she will not be allowed to participate unless there are mitigating circumstances that will be determined by the administration.  A “no practice, no play” rule is up to the coach and will be stated as such in his or her training rules.


Athletic and Extra-Curricular Suspension

Athletic suspension will occur in the event of violations of student codes and rules as noted elsewhere in this handbook, and/or violations of a coach’s specific regulations


A student who has been suspended from participation may appeal his/her suspension to the administration.  The administration will convene a group of three teachers who do not coach or sponsor the student in the activities from which the student is suspended to hear the appeal and make a recommendation to the administration.  



Training Rules and Regulations

Students making the choice to become athletes must understand that there are sacrifices and commitments involved, if one is to become a true competitor.  Of utmost importance is following rules which the Department of Athletics believes to be fair.  Coaches will have their own set of training rules specific to their sport with consequences to be determined by them.  These rules will be communicated in writing to athletes and parents at the beginning of each athletic season.


Extra-curricular Bus Policy

Team members may not leave the team bus unless permission is granted by an administrator or if the parent asks the head coach in person and signs a release.  Under no circumstances will a participant travel to or from an activity in a private vehicle unless prior arrangements are made by the parent and approved by the administration.


ATTENDANCE 

All students are expected to attend school and be on time for classes.  There is a direct relationship between poor attendance and academic failure.  The purpose of this plan is to place the primary responsibility for attendance upon the students.  


Excused absences--occur only for reasons of personal illness, family emergency, professional appointment (legal or behavioral counseling), district-approved holidays, or certain educational opportunities.  Students are required to pick up a Pre-Absence Assignment Form at the office.


Notice of Upcoming Absence from the office for any pre-arranged absences such as doctor and/or dental appointments at least two (2) days prior to date of absence.  Announced schoolwork or tests are to be made up as quickly as is reasonable, but no longer than the one day for each day absence.


Unexcused Absences--occur when a student and/or parent/guardian fails to provide the appropriate communication to the office, cutting classes/truancy, skipping school, and failure to check out of the office prior to leaving campus. 


 Students are allowed a total of 8 absences per semester.  This includes both excused and unexcused absences.  On the ninth absence the student will not receive credit for the courses in which he/she has been absent.  Exceptions to this policy will be at the discretion of the school administration and the board of education.


ATTENDANCE POLICY

All students attending Vilas School are required to attend classes, unless excused for good reason, in accordance with the Colorado Compulsory Attendance law (CRS 22-33-104) and Article IX, Section 2 of the Colorado Constitution.  The Vilas School is a CLOSED CAMPUS.  This means students may not leave campus during the school day, including lunch time, without parent and administrative approval.


  • Students are expected to make up work missed during any absence.  Teachers will provide assistance and available make up work to students following excused absences.  The student will have one day for every day of excused absence to make up his/her work upon return to school. 


  • Parents or guardians will be responsible for notifying the school if the student’s absence is to be excused.  Parents or guardians may phone in the excuse (719) 523-6738 or send a note with the student in advance or on return.  The student will have three days to turn in this excuse to the office.  If the proper excuse is not turned in, the absence will be considered unexcused.  We are concerned for your child’s safety, the school will call to verify an absence if we have not received a call by 9:00 a.m. the morning of the absence.









Excessive Unexcused Absence

  1. After 4,6, and 8 excused and unexcused absences a letter will be sent notifying the parents.  

  2. After 9 unexcused absences in any semester, the student will not receive credit for the class or classes in which they are absent.  The parents will be notified and they may petition the School Board by filing a written request with the administration.

  3. After 6 absences, for any reason, in a single semester the administration may require a written note from a doctor before an absence will be counted as excused.

  4. Students who are seven and less than seventeen are required by law to attend school. The authorities may be notified if a student who falls within this age group has 9 unexcused absences in any semester or 18 unexcused absences in any school year, and legal action may be initiated. 

Tardiness:

Any student who enters a class after the scheduled starting time is considered tardy.  Because of the disruptive nature of tardiness and the detrimental effect upon the rights of other students to uninterrupted learning, excessive tardiness will be considered a serious disciplinary problem, and might be cause for disciplinary action.


Unexcused tardiness accumulates from the first offense.  Students will be required to secure an admit pass from the office before the student will be allowed in the classroom.  Unexcused tardiness may result in the consequences of detention, suspension or expulsion.  



Truancy

Truancy is generally defined as missing any class or school day without the prior approval of the administration, or absences that do not meet the guidelines.  Students leaving the building without gaining permission from the office and signing out will be truant from subsequent classes missed that day. 


Expulsion

Recommendation for expulsion and mandatory expulsion will be made in accordance with state law and district codes of conduct.  Violations of various rules may result in recommendation for expulsion based on continued and willful disobedience and/or continual defiance of school rules or school authorities.

The following offenses will result in suspension and/or expulsion recommendation by the school administration:

  • Commission of any act which if committed by an adult would be robbery or assault, as defined by law.

  • Violation of the school district’s alcohol use/drug/tobacco abuse policy.

  • Violation of school district’s policy on dangerous weapons in the school, or on school property, or at any school district sponsored or sanctioned event.

Credit Redemption:  

Students, who have lost credit in one or more classes due to truancies, may request a hearing wherein redemption of credit may be sought.  The appeal must be made in writing, and submitted to the Superintendent within ten school days after the student and parents have been notified of the loss of credit.














BUS REGULATIONS

Riding the bus is a privilege not a right.  Students who fail to follow the rules may forfeit the privilege of riding the bus.  All school rules will be applied while on any bus.  The following are UNACCEPTABLE on the bus:


  • Deliberate defiance/refusal to cooperate with the driver

  • Excessive talking and unnecessary noise, lack of respect and courtesy

  • Throwing items of any kind in the bus or out the windows

  • Deliberate delay - loading or unloading

  • Refusal to stay properly seated

  • Extending any part of the body out of a window

  • Tampering with equipment, deliberate vandalism

  • Outward displays of ANY kind to drivers or passengers of other vehicles


CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS

With the belief that there is much more to your education than attending classes, clubs and organizations are available to you.  Clubs and organizations are formed to meet the interests of the student body.  Vilas High School has several established clubs and organizations. You are encouraged to get involved in those of your choice.  Each club or organization has a staff member as an advisor.  Listed are the organizations already in existence at Vilas High School.


  • National Honor Society

  • Student Council

  • Knowledge Bowl


CORPORAL PUNISHMENT

In dealing with disruptive students, any person employed by the district may, within the scope of his employment, use reasonable and appropriate physical intervention or force as necessary for the following purposes:

  • To restrain a student from an act of wrong-doing 

  • To quell a disturbance threatening physical injury to others

  • To obtain possession of weapons or other dangerous objects upon a student or within the control of a student

  • For the purpose of self-defense

  • For the protection of persons or property

  • For the preservation of order

Any such acts are not in conflict with the legal definition of child abuse and shall not be construed to constitute corporal punishment within the meaning and intention of this policy.  Reasonable corporal punishment may be administered to students pursuant to regulations developed by the administration and approved by the Board.  Corporal punishment is limited to spanking or paddling the student, and is governed by the following guidelines:

  • The student is told the reason for the corporal punishment.

  • Corporal punishment may be administered by the superintendent, principal or designee, with parental permission.

  • The instrument to be used will be approved by the superintendent.

  • A record will be maintained of each instance of corporal punishment.


COUNSELING/STUDENT ADVISOR AND GUIDANCE SERVICES

Vilas School will provide counseling to students you when deemed necessary.  Student advisor duties will be covered by Administration. Your student advisor can help you with personal problems, selection of classes, testing information, including SAT information, career selection, scholarships, work-study, graduation, information about vocational education, college entrance, letters of recommendation and curriculum information.  We urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to help plan for the present and future.

DRESS CODE

A safe and disciplined learning environment is essential to a quality educational program. District-wide standards on student attire are intended to help students concentrate on schoolwork, reduce discipline problems, and improved school order & safety. The Board recognizes that students have a right to express themselves through dress and personal appearance; however, students shall not wear apparel that is deemed disruptive or potentially disruptive to the classroom environment or to the maintenance of a safe and orderly school.


The best dress code guideline is to remember that clothes worn to school should be clean, in good taste, cover private parts of the body, and be appropriate for classroom during school hours, school activities, and athletic activities.  


Should a student come to school dressed inappropriately, the student must be removed from the classroom until they can be dressed appropriately.  The student will be given the opportunity to change into appropriate clothing.  If the student does not have something appropriate to change into, the student will be given a clean t-shirt and sweatpants to wear for the remainder of the day.  Should the student refuse, the student will be kept in the office and their class work will be brought to them to complete.  Dress code is in effect on all school days, including the last day of school and during extra-curricular activities.


Because it is not possible to think of every dress code issue that may arise, the principal or designee have the right to declare other forms of objectionable dress to be inappropriate for school.  


Because students may not understand the types of clothing that are appropriate, there are guidelines listed below.  The following clothing should not be worn to school or school activities in which the student is participating or representing the school in any way (such as working in the concession stand or helping at the elementary track meet) unless it is part of the uniform:


  • Shorts, dresses, skirts, or other similar clothing, unless the clothing is at least 1/2 the distance between the top of the knee and the groin.


  • Inappropriately sheer, tight, torn, or low-cut clothing (e.g. midriffs, halter tops, backless clothing, tube tops, garments made of fishnet, mesh of similar material, muscle tops, etc.) that bare or expose traditionally private parts of the body including, but not limited to, the stomach, buttocks, upper thigh, back and breasts.  Leggings, yoga bottoms, joggers, and other tight pants should be covered with a shirt that extends at least to the top of the thigh.


  • Tank tops or other similar clothing.


  • No hats, sunglasses, caps, bandanas, scarves, hoods, hair nets, etc.  (unless it is an outdoor activity and approved by the principal). 


  • Slippers or other shoes that are not considered appropriate footwear for health and safety reasons.


  • Undershirts that are not covered up with a shirt that is closed at least to the mid- chest area.


  • Exposed underwear. 


  • Pajamas of any type, unless approved for a school sponsored dress-up day.


  • No PE clothes other than during PE classes.


  • Shirts must be worn at all times during school hours


  • Any clothing, paraphernalia, grooming, jewelry, hair coloring, accessories, or body adornments that are or contain any advertisement, symbols, words, slogans, patches, or pictures that:

  • Refer to drugs, tobacco, alcohol or weapons

  • Are of a sexual nature

  • By virtue of color, arrangement, trademark, or other attribute denote membership in gangs which advocate drug use, violence, or disruptive behavior

  • Are obscene, profane, vulgar, lewd, or legally libelous

  • Threaten the safety or welfare of any person

  • Promote any activity prohibited by the student code of conduct

  • Otherwise disrupt the teaching-learning process


The final decision on appropriateness of dress rests with the Principal or Sponsor if the student is at an extra-curricular activity representing the school. When representing the school, students will be given definite instructions as to appropriate and acceptable dress, grooming, and behavior.


Directors of activities may set higher standards for students while under their direct supervision or sponsorship.  


ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICES

Vilas School District RE-5 believes in the appropriate use of electronic communication devices (i.e. cell phones, iPods or iPads, two-way radio, personal data assistants, etc.). These items must be turned off and kept out of sight during appropriate times (i.e. instructional times, class discussions, etc.)  When you come into a room, the expectation is that you sit in your seat and put all technology away. There may be times that cells phones will be allowed for use in class, as allowed by the instructor.  ANY misuse of this policy will result in the confiscation of device for a period of days or weeks at the discretion of teachers/administrators. 


ELECTRONIC RESOURCES ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY 

The Vilas School District supports the right of students to have access to various information formats and electronic resources.  However, we believe it is incumbent upon students to use this privilege in an appropriate and responsible manner.  As we increase the opportunities for students to utilize these resources we have determined the following Acceptable Use Policy shall govern the use of the school’s computers, software, network, and Internet. Personal computer use will follow the same guidelines.  


The following student behaviors with electronic resources are not permitted


  • Displaying or sending offensive messages or pictures on any school owned computer.

  • Sending a threatening or harassing message.

  • Damaging any part of the computer hardware, software or the network.  This includes theft of any hardware and or software.

  • Violating copyright laws.

  • Trespassing in another person’s files or misusing another person’s files.

  • Intentionally wasting limited resources. (For example making multiple copies at the printer when it is not necessary.)

  • Other unethical use of the school’s network system.

  • Interfering with the integrity of the school’s network system.  

  • Interfering with the integrity of the school’s e-mail system.

  • Illegal activity or other activity that violates Vilas School District Policy.

  • Intentional spreading embedded messages or files.

  • Using another person’s passwords

  • Revealing passwords to others.

  • Entering other people’s files without their permission.

  • Using the e-mail system without permission from the staff member in charge.

  • Downloading any program or message without permission of a teacher. 

  • Playing computer games, other than those that are educational, is prohibited during school hours.

  • Computers are not to be used to play music. 


Penalties for these rule infractions will be at the discretion of the administration.







EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:

These rules are intended to cover all students enrolled in the Vilas School and involved in extra-curricular activities.  These rules are not designed to supplant individual sport or organizational rules, but will supersede where conflicts occur.  

Students involved or only attending an extra-curricular activity will abide by all school rules unless they are a participant and then they will be under that organization’s rules.  


HIGH SCHOOL DANCES:


  1. Students or guests showing evidence of alcohol use prior to the dance or found using alcohol at a dance will not be allowed to attend or remain at the dance.

  2. Students or guests showing evidence of or using alcohol at a dance shall not be allowed to attend school dances for a calendar year.  In addition they will face disciplinary actions.

  3. A complaint against students or guests found drinking liquor or beer at a school dance will be filed by school authorities with the local sheriff department.

  4. Sponsors may elect to close a dance immediately if it can be determined that drinking of alcoholic beverages is taking place within the school.

  5. If any given dance is canceled by the school officials, no class or club funds shall be used to hold the dance elsewhere.

  6. All guests must be escorted by a South Baca student date. (The names of non-Vilas students who are invited to dances by Vilas Students, are to be submitted to the office for approval no later than one week prior to the date of the dance.)

  7. A guest not following the rules will be ejected from the dance and will not be allowed to attend any other dances sponsored by the school for the remainder of the school year.

  8. No student will be re-admitted to the dance once he/she leaves the building (including his/her guest) without permission from the sponsor.

  9. All students attending school dances shall be dressed in appropriate attire and be in good standing at Vilas School.

  10. Students who are candidates for Homecoming King & Queen and Prom King & Queen, shall be of good moral character.


FRATERNIZING/PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION (PDA)

Being overly affectionate in school creates an environment that is not conducive to concentration and learning, therefore students should refrain from inappropriate, intimate behaviors on campus or at school related events & activities. Excessive touching, holding of hands, and hugging (other than friendly or sympathetic hugs) on school property are NOT ALLOWED.  Kissing is STRICTLY forbidden.  Students are expected to show good taste and conduct themselves respectfully at all times.  Inappropriate public displays of affection will not be tolerated.  This behavior will result in a parent meeting and possible suspension if inappropriate behavior continues after being warned. The expression of feelings of affection toward others is a personal concern between two individuals and not of others surrounding them.  Therefore, good taste and respect for others is the guideline for appropriate behavior.










GRADES/ REPORT CARDS

You will receive a report card four times during the year to inform you and your parents of your progress and accomplishments in your classes.  Each semester is divided into two nine-week quarters.  Your quarterly report card will indicate the grade status and absence, if any, for each class.


PROGRESS REPORTS

Parents/Guardians are able to check student’s progress at any time through Infinite Campus.  Parent Teacher conferences are also held twice a year to go over student’s progress.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 

In pursuit of its mission to ensure that all students reach their learning potential, the Board of Education has established the following graduation requirements. 

District academic standards 

To receive a high school diploma from the district, students must meet or exceed the district's academic standards and measures required by this policy. Students with disabilities must be provided access to all graduation pathways provided by this policy and must have the opportunity to earn a high school diploma from the district. 

Graduation from high school is a culminating event that results from the foundations built at the elementary and middle levels. Graduation is a collaborative effort among levels in a student’s public school career. Each level of school and each staff member or parent/guardian who instructs or counsels a student shares responsibility for the ultimate ability of that student to demonstrate proficiency in the district’s academic standards and to meet the expectations for graduation. 

College and Career Readiness 

The Colorado State Board of Education has adopted state graduation guidelines that identify college and career readiness measures in English and Math. The Board has selected its own measures from these state graduation guidelines. 

Students must complete at least one English measure and one Math measure and meet or exceed the measure's corresponding cut score or criteria to demonstrate college and career readiness in English and Math. The Board's approved measures and cut scores are outlined in this policy's accompanying exhibit. 

Exceptions to the Board's required measures and cut scores/criteria 

If a student has demonstrated college and career readiness by completing an assessment or other measure that is not included in this policy's accompanying exhibit but is included in the state graduation guidelines, the principal or principal's designee may determine that such assessment or other measure is acceptable and meets the district's graduation requirements.

Scholarship is recognized and encouraged through an academic Honor Roll.  The Honor Roll is compiled at the close of each grading period.  There will be two Honor Rolls:  A Honor Roll, grades consisting of all A’s and the AB Honor Roll, grades consisting only A’s and B’s.  


Class rank is determined at the end of the year based on the total work a student has completed in high school to date.


Awards and Honors Conferred

Any award or honor, including honors to be presented upon graduation, or presented at a time subsequent to determination that the award will be presented, is conditioned upon the recipient’s complying with all rules and regulations of the district up to the time an honor is awarded.  For example, if prior to graduation grades are calculated for the purpose of determining the valedictorian or salutatorian of the class, the results of such calculation, which would indicate the prospective valedictorian or salutatorian, would not constitute conferral of such award, but such award would be presented only if, for the balance of the term, the prospective recipient continues to abide by the rules and regulations of the school.

  • The valedictorian and salutatorian are determined by a grade point average.

  • To receive the honor of valedictorian or salutatorian, a student must have a grade point average of 3.0 or better.

  • Students must have completed a minimum of two semesters of their senior year at Vilas High School to be eligible.

  • Students will park in front parking area of the school or as assigned by the administration.  Repeated violation of parking rules may be considered an act of defiance of school authority and result in disciplinary action.

LOITERING

Students who are suspended or expelled and visitors, guests, relatives, or any other person who is not a student of the Vilas School and does not have a valid reason for being on campus are to be considered loitering.  Offenders could face police action: charged with a misdemeanor or trespassing.  To avoid this, see VISITORS.  All students who do not have business in the office shall refrain from loitering therein.

SENIOR TRIP

The proposed senior trip will be presented to the Board of Education in March of the current year and it will be reviewed twice before seniors may go on their trip.  The School board will have the final decision on all events connected with the senior trip.  Senior students will provide health insurance coverage.  For a student to be eligible to participate on the senior trip, he/she must have attended Vilas High School for the entire senior year.  Late enrollees may petition the entire senior class and seek approval from the Board of Education before they will be allowed to go.  (All diplomas for graduating seniors will be held until the end of the trip).  Any funds from the Senior class that remain after the trip will be retained by the District and used in a manner determined by the Vilas Board of Education.


SCHOOL COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS

STUDENT DISCIPLINE CODE

  1. Abiding by the Law:

Every student in the district, as well as every employee of the district, is expected to abide by the laws of the State of Colorado and of the United States.  A violation of any of these laws shall constitute a violation of the policies and rules of this school district. Appropriate disciplinary action will follow.


The School Board recognizes that it cannot and should not attempt to list every action which could result in disciplinary procedures and the enumeration of certain specific rules is not intended to exclude other rules which are also laws, as well as those rules which are generally accepted conduct for citizens of this community.


B.  Jurisdiction of the School District:

All rules and regulations set forth in this policy shall apply at all times on school property, wherever located, and upon school buses or other vehicles of transportation owned or controlled by the school district.  Such rules and regulations shall likewise apply to all students attending any school or school related function or activity, whether or not during regular school hours, and whether or not the student is a participant in the function or activity.  


C.  Exclusive right to Discipline

Parents or guardians of student shall not have the right to control student discipline in the school and, particularly, shall not have the right to prevent the school from taking appropriate disciplinary measures with any student.  School officials responsible for disciplinary procedures may consult with, or listen to, a student’s parent with respect to their ideas as to the most effective type of discipline, but they shall not be obligated to abide thereby.  It is the belief at Vilas, that students are educated by a team made up of parents, educators, and the administration. 


D.  End-of-Year Offenses

If a student commits a violation of the rules during the last six weeks of the school year under circumstances which would justify a punishment of removal or expulsion for a period of time longer than that left in the year, such removal or expulsion may be carried forward to the following year: or, if a student is a graduating eighth grader or senior, the student can be denied the privilege of participating in graduation ceremonies and the right to receive honors or awards.


E.   Student Discipline

This section identifies permissible punishment for established violations of the policies, rules and regulations of the district.  When imposing discipline, school personnel shall adhere to the following guidelines:


  • The district’s objective is to educate students.  Consequences shall be administered only when necessary to protect students, school employees or property, or to maintain essential order and discipline. 


  • Disciplinary action should not be ‘punitive’ per se, but should be designed to correct the misconduct of the individual student and to promote compliance of all students with district rules and regulations. 


  • Students shall be treated fairly and equitably.  Consequences shall be based upon a careful assessment of the circumstances of each case, i.e., the seriousness of the offense, the student’s age, the frequency of misconduct, the student’s attitude, circumstances of the particular offense, and the potential effect of the misconduct upon the school environment. 


  • Consequences shall never be administered so as to ridicule a student nor be imposed maliciously.   


In addition to the statutory penalty prescribed in state or federal statute or in other applicable law, students who commit offense are subject to the following categories of discipline.
