BELIEFSS Standards-drivenU United EffortC Community InvolvementC Committed and Compassionate (Communication)E Excellence; Engaging LessonsS Student-focusedS Safety and Secure

GOALSFCSD3 will:1. establish a consistent alignment of our curriculum,

assessments, instructional strategies and resources that meets the needs of all students,

2. hire and develop teachers who are highly qualified, competent, caring, and technologically proficient,

3. promote an educational climate and culture that enhances the safety and success of all children.

DRESS CODEStudents are expected to adhere to standards of dress and appearance that are compatible with an effective learning environment. Presently, a bodily appearance or wearing clothing which is disruptive, provocative, revealing, profane, vulgar, offensive or obscene, or which endangers the health and safety of students or others is prohibited.

Principals shall exercise appropriate discretion in implementing this policy, including making reasonable accommodations on the basis of students’ religious beliefs or medical conditions. Individual schools are permitted to specify additional examples of dress or appearance that are prohibited at the schools under this policy. The following are examples of dress or appearances that are prohibited. This list is not all-inclusive.

• Exposed undergarments• Sagging pants• Excessively short or tight garments• Bare midriff shirts• Strapless shirts• Attire with messages or illustrations that are lewd,

indecent, or vulgar• Attire that advertise any product or services not

permitted by law to minors• Head gearing of any kind• See-through clothing• Attire that exposes cleavage• Any adornments such as chains or spikes that

reasonably could be perceived as or used as a weapon

• Any symbols, styles, or attire frequently associated with intimidation, violence, or violent groups about which students at a particular school have been notified.

If a student’s dress or appearance is such that it constitutes a threat to the health or safety of others, distracts the attention of other students or staff from their work or otherwise violates this dress code, the principal or the principal’s designee may require the student to change his/

her dress or appearance. A second or repeated violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action.

ATTENDANCE POLICYState law requires a parent/guardian to cause their children, from age five until the attainment of their seventeenth birthday or graduation from high school, to attend regularly a public or private school. If a student is not six years of age on or before the first day of September in a particular school year, the parent/guardian may elect for his/her child not to attend kindergarten. For this purpose, the parent/guardian must sign and provide to the a district a written document making such an election. The Board expects school-aged children to attend school regularly. The district shall develop procedures to implement this policy.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS PRIVACY ACTThis is to advise parents that pursuant to the Federal “Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974” (FERPA), and its implementing regulations, as well as District policy and regulations, parents/guardians or students under 18 years of age and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) are entitled to certain rights with respect to a student’s education records. These rights are set forth below:

1. Parents/Guardians and eligible students have a right to inspect and review the student’s education records defined by law to include those records, files, documents, and other materials which contain information directly related to the student and are maintained by the District or by a person acting for the District. A parent/guardian or an eligible student shall make a request for access to that student’s education records, in writing to the Building Principal of the school at which the student is, or was last, in attendance. Upon receipt of such request, arrangements shall be made to provide access to such records within a reasonable period of time, but in any case, not more than forty-five (45) days after the request has been received.

2. Parent(s)/guardian(s) and eligible students are also entitled to challenge the contents of such

records, to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy or other rights of the student, and to ask for the correction or deletion of any such inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate data contained therein. Parents/guardians and eligible students are also entitled to notice of any decision by the District not to amend a student’s education records as requested by the parent/guardian or eligible student, and of their right to a hearing regarding the District’s denial of a request for such an amendment. Any questions concerning the procedure to be followed in making a challenge and/or requesting a hearing should be directed to the Superintendent.

3. Parents/guardians and eligible students have a right that student education records, and any material contained therein which is personally identifiable, are confidential and may not be released or made available to persons other than parents/guardians or eligible students without the prior written consent of such parents/ guardians or eligible students except:

a. as directory information unless the parent/guardian or eligible student objects by October 1 of each school year. District student directory information includes name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height (if members of athletic teams), degrees and awards received, and the name of the educational agency or institution previously attended by the student. Parents/Guardians and eligible students may refuse to let the District designate any or all of the above information about the student as directory information. Any parent or eligible student who objects to the release of any or all of this information without consent must

notify, in writing, the principal of the school where the records are kept by September 12, 2011. The objection must state what information the parent or student does not want to be classified as directory information. If no objection is received by September 12, 2011, the information will be classified as directory information until the beginning of the next school year;

b. to another school district in which a student seeks to enroll or intends to enroll, upon request by such district;

c. to individuals employed by the District either as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel, school board members when acting as a corporate entity in the discharge of statutory duties and responsibilities, and individuals with whom the District has contracted to perform a special task. (i.e., the school attorney, auditor, medical consultant or therapist) who have a legitimate educational need for access to such records. A legitimate educational need for any of these individuals to access a student’s records without prior written consent of a parent/guardian or eligible student will be deemed to exist only when it can be shown that such access and disclosure is necessary for any such individual to fulfill his/her professional responsibilities, or

d. as otherwise expressly permitted by law.

4. Parents/guardians and eligible students have a right to obtain a copy of the district’s policy and accompanying regulation pertaining to the confidentiality of student education records. A copy of said policy and regulation may be obtained from the Building Principal of the school at which the student is, or was last, in attendance.

If you feel that your rights under the “Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974” have been abridged as a result of alleged failures by the District to comply with the requirements of FERPA, you may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education, Family Policy Compliance Office, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20202-4605.

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTSPursuant to Regulation 61-8, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control has declared the following schedule of required vaccinations, screenings, and immunizations necessary for a child to be admitted to any public, private, or parochial school, grades five year old kindergarten through twelve (5K-12).

Minimum RequirementsFour (4) doses of any combination of DTP, DT, DTP-Hib, DTaP, Td, or Tdap vaccine with at least one (1) dose received on or after the fourth birthday.

This immunization requirement only applies to students entering five-year-old kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh grades. Students previously enrolled in grades 5 through 12 met the requirement as stated for the school year in which they entered school.

If the fourth dose of DTaP, DTP, or DT is administered before the fourth birthday, a booster dose is required at 4-6 years of age. The fifth dose is not required if the fourth dose was given on or after the fourth birthday. The minimum interval between DTaP dose #3 and #4 or #4 and #5 is six months.

Three (3) doses of any combination of oral or inactivated Polio vaccine with at least one (1) dose received on or after the fourth birthday.

If all four IPV doses are administered after 6 weeks of age and are all separated by at least 4 weeks, a fifth dose is not needed, even if the fourth dose was administered before 4 years of age.

Two (2) doses of Rubeola (Measles) vaccine with both

doses received on or after the first birthday and separated by at least one month.

One (1) dose of Rubella (German Measles) vaccine received on or after the first birthday.

One (1) dose of Mumps vaccine received on or after the first birthday.

Three (3) doses of Hepatitis B vaccine.

One (1) dose of Varicella vaccine received on or after the first birthday or positive history of disease for all children admitted to kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and eleventh grades.

A single supplemental dose of 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) is strongly recommended for allchildren 14-59 months of age who have completed age-appropriate pneumococcal vaccination with the 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine (PCV7), but is not required for day care attendance.

Students may be exempt from these immunization requirements for the following reasons:

1. Medical ContraindicationAn exemption from these immunization requirements due to a medical contraindication described on the South Carolina Certificate of Immunization, signed by an individual licensed to practice medicine or osteopathy, or his/her authorized representative, may be granted to a child when the physician or osteopath has determined that a particular vaccine(s) required by this schedule is not advisable for the child. If it is determined that this particular vaccine(s) is no longer contraindicated, the child will be required to have the vaccine(s). The temporary or permanent nature of this exemption shall be noted in the appropriate spaces on the South Carolina Certificate of Immunization (DHEC form 1148).

2. Religious ExemptionA South Carolina Certificate of Religious Exemption may be granted to any student whose parents, parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis signs the appropriate section

of the South Carolina Certificate of Religious Exemption stating they are members of a recognized religious denomination in which the tenets and practices of the religious denomination conflict with immunizations. The South Carolina Certificate of Religious Exemption may be obtained from the Department of Health and Environmental Control. The Department of Health and Environmental Control also provides blank forms of the South Carolina Certificate of Immunization to immunization providers, and blank forms of the South Carolina Certificate of Special Exemption to schools.

3. Special ExemptionsA South Carolina Certificate of Special Exemption, signed by the school principal or his/her authorized representative, may be issued to transfer students while awaiting arrival of medical records from their former area of residence or to other students who have been unable to secure immunizations or documentation of immunizations already received. A South Carolina Certificate of Special Exemption may be issued only once and shall be valid for only thirty (30) calendar days from the date of enrollment. At the expiration of this special exemption, the student must present a valid South Carolina Certificate of Immunization or a valid South Carolina Certificate of Religious Exemption.

FEDERAL PROGRAM COMPLAINT RESOLUTION The South Carolina Department of Education (SDE) has the authority to hear complaints and appeals regarding federal programs.

The final decision will include a summary of findings and the nature of corrective action, if any, to be taken including applicable timelines.

LEAs are required to disseminate, free of charge, adequate information about this complaint procedure to parents and appropriate private school officials or representatives.

PARENT CONTACT INFORMATIONIt is the responsibility of parents to update their contact information at the schools their child(ren) attend. Current contact information is vitally important so that a school may contact a parent in the event of an emergency or to relay important information about a student.

ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY FOR STUDENTS It is the policy of Florence County School District Three that all student Internet users read, sign, and agree to the terms of the following Acceptable Use Policy. Please read the following agreement carefully before signing.

Internet access is available to students because we believe the Internet offers vast, diverse, and unique resources that provide opportunities to link with other communities and cultures throughout the world. All users must sign in on a log-in sheet before each use. The log-in sheet should be beside each computer terminal. Internet use is a privilege and inappropriate use will result in the cancellation of Internet privileges.

The Internet also has rich search capabilities that will yield sources of information to support research. Unfortunately, the Internet also potentially allows access to material that may not be considered to be of educational value in the context of the school setting. Florence County School District Three has taken precautions to restrict access to controversial materials, and does not condone the use of inappropriate or offensive materials. However, the district cannot be held

responsible for such inappropriate use. The following guidelines for Network Behavior (Netiquette) are provided so that you may be aware of the responsibilities you will have either as a parent or guardian permitting your child to use these resources or as a student who will actually use Florence County School District Three computers and Internet access:

a. Be polite. Do not be abusive in messages to others. b. Use appropriate language. Do not swear, use

vulgarities, or any other inappropriate language. c. Do not disrupt, harass, or annoy other users. d. Do not reveal your home mailing address or phone

number(s) or similar information about other persons.

e. Note that electronic mail (e-mail) is not guaranteed to be private. People who operate the system have access to all mail.

f. Do not use the network in such a way that would disrupt the use of the network by other users.

g. All communications and information accessible via the network should be assumed to be the private property of the creator, and appropriate citations should be made when used.

h. Do not report personal communications without the author’s prior consent.

i. Do not share passwords. This means that the only person to ever use an account is the person to whom it belongs.

j. All users should remain on the system only as long as necessary to complete their work so that other individuals will have opportunities to access the Internet.

k. Use of any type of proxy server(s) to circumvent or bypass filtering or firewall is prohibited.

DISCIPLINE (Board Policy JCDA)Florence School District Three believes that most disciplinary problems will be handled in a calm, reasonable manner between teacher, student, and parent. When the learning opportunities of other students are affected, the teacher, the assistant principal, and/or the principal must and will take appropriate disciplinary action. Consequences could be quick-outs, silent lunches, loss of extracurricular activities, placement in a

different classroom, and/or discipline referrals. Teachers and administrators may question students about any matter pertaining to the operation of the school and/or enforcement of its rules.

Each student consequence is handled on an individual basis, depending on the nature of the disciplinary event and the number of office referrals on file at the time of the new referral. The actions taken with any other children involved in the incident will NOT be discussed with anyone other than that child’s parent(s). If a fight should occur, with both parties passing licks, both students will be sent home regardless of who started the fight. The principal has the discretion, depending on the circumstances and the number of previous office referrals, to determine the number of out-of-school suspension days.

Students are prohibited from bringing weapons of any kind to school. If this should happen, it will be an immediate suspension pending a district hearing.

Suspensions of five (5) days or less may not be appealed beyond the building principal.

A specific plan has been developed for managing student behavior in the classroom. The plan will be discussed with students and a copy of the rules and consequences will be sent home for parent’s signature at the beginning of the school year.

The following listing of offenses and the required or recommended dispositions are submitted for the information of students, parents, and school personnel.Disciplinary actions will include appropriate hearings and review, and the removal of a student from the learning environment will occur only for just cause and in accordance with due process of law.

Florence County School District Three schools will not tolerate the possession of weapons capable of bodily harm, nor being under the influence of or in possession of mind-altering substances. Such violators will be removed from school and recommended for expulsion.

The following rules, regulations and due process

procedures are designed to protect all members of the educational community in the exercise of their rights and responsibilities. These rules are effective during the following times and in the following places:

• On the school grounds during and immediately before or immediately after school hours.

• On the school grounds at any other time when the school is being used by a school group; or whenever the safety and protection of school property is involved;

• Off the school grounds at a school activity, function or event; or whenever the conduct may involve the safety and welfare of students, staff or other school officials.

• En-route to and from school on a school bus or other school vehicle at the location deemed to be the bus stop.

Note: Procedure for handling violations: Teacher will ask for I.D. (if applicable); students are expected to honor this request. Refusal will result in out-of-school suspension.

DISCIPLINE CODE FOR BUSESThe public school transportation system is designed to be safe, economical, and efficient. We view the system as an integral part of your child’s education program. Transportation for students on a state-owned bus is a privilege and not an absolute right. We expect all passengers to behave and act in a mature, responsible manner. We believe that all students can behave appropriately when required to do so.

A student must ride his/her assigned bus at all times. Permission to ride a different bus may be granted only by the school’s administrator, provided there is space available and a signed, written parental request for such permission is submitted to the school. A copy of the parental request will be kept on file at the school. Telephone calls will not be accepted. This places your child at risk.

BASIC SCHOOL BUS RULES• Keep hands feet, and objects to yourself.• Sit in assigned seat and remain seated while the

bus is in motion.• Do not use profane or obscene language,

gestures, or loud noises.• Do not vandalize the bus and equipment in any

manner.• Do not use tobacco, radios, or any other

unauthorized materials on the bus.• ABSOLUTELY NO EATING OR DRINKING

ON THE SCHOOL BUS.• Obey the bus driver’s requests at all times for

safety reasons.

CONSEQUENCES FOR BUS RULE VIOLATIONSConsequences for violation of bus rules may result in loss of bus riding privileges, either temporary or permanent. For more detailed information, contact your child’s school.

For an offense that the principal/bus supervisor considers major and may endanger the safety of passengers /driver, the student may be removed from the bus immediately and the principal/bus supervisor may impose a more severe punishment.

Please be sure you have your child at the bus stop before the bus actually comes to a complete stop. If the driver has to wait on children to come out of the houses, it will cause the bus to run late for school. Please have your children ready and waiting at the appropriate time. If you want to talk with your child’s bus driver, please call the school to arrange a meeting. For safety and time reasons, please do not attempt to talk with the driver at the bus stop.
