It is for this reason that we have created the following guidelines for student participation in

limited to: lunch charges, fees, lost or stolen items.

2. Students must attend all graduation practices unless excused by the principal.

3. Students must wear the school approved cap and gowns. There must be no writing or decoration of the cap

and gowns.

8 | P a g e

Individual Learning Plan Requirements

Any student attending Lloyd Memorial High School must have a signed ILP (Individual Learning

Plan) on file. This will authorize the District to enable a feature of web based ILP which will

permit students to invite their parties to have access to his/her ILP information or portions of such

information via the web (internet). The purpose of this feature is to help students with career and

college plans by permitting him/her to share ILP information with persons or organizations such

as college admissions officers, organizations offering scholarships, and potential employers.

However, understand this feature could permit students to release ILP information to other third

parties. The District, its employees, and agents shall not be responsible, nor shall they incur any

liability for any disclosure made by the student using this software feature. The Family

Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and similar state statutes (KFERPA) generally

require parents to consent before the educational records relating to their student(s) are disclosed

to third parties.

This software feature is not itself a disclosure of education records but it will enable students to

disclose confidential educational records information. Once this document is signed, know that

you are giving consent to disclosing ILP educational records information to third parties by your

student’s use of the software feature described above. This signed form will stay in effect as long

as the student is enrolled in the District (unless I or my child on turning 18 requests a change).

The sharing feature will not be enabled for your student unless there is a signed form on file.

Lloyd Memorial High School Alternative Credit Options

Students may use alternative credit options to accumulate credits toward graduation. All options

must be approved by the school administration prior to acceptance. Options may include, but are

not limited to:

1. Credit Recovery

2. Adult High School Credits

3. Kentucky Virtual High School

4. Credits from other certified agencies

State Required End of Course Assessments

Beginning in the 2011-12 school year the state of Kentucky has required that schools administer

end of course assessments in the following courses:

1. US HISTORY

2. ALGEBRA 2

3. ENGLISH 2

4. BIOLOGY

*It is expected that each year 4 new courses will be added to the list. Each final exam may

count up to 30 percent of a students grade.

No pupil shall purchase, possess, attempt to possess, use, be under the influence of, sell, or transfer any of

the following on or about school property, at any location of a school-sponsored activity, or en route to or

from school or a school-sponsored activity:

1. Alcoholic beverages;

3. Substances that "look like" a controlled substance. In instances involving look-alike substances, there

Definitions

Controlled substance means any substance or immediate precursor listed in Chapter 218A of the

Kentucky Revised Statues or any other substance added by regulation under KRS 218A.010. Prohibited

drugs include, but are not limited to, any substance that an individual may not sell, possess, use, distribute or

Prohibited substances include:

1. All prescription drugs obtained without authorization, and

2. All prohibited substances however taken or used, including but not limited to, inhaling, ingesting, and/or

injecting. These include, but are not limited to, prescribed and over-the- counter drugs and prohibited

volatile substances as defined in KRS 217.900 that are used or intended for use for an abusive and/or

intoxicating purpose.

Authorized Medication

Use of a drug authorized by and administered in accordance with a prescription from a physician or dentist

and district and school policy shall not be considered in violation of this policy. Lloyd Memorial

High School requires prescription medication that is to be administered to a student during the school day

to be transferred from the parent/guardian to an administrator or their designee. Students in possession of

authorized medication may be subject to disciplinary action.

Administrative note: In accordance with KRS 158.154 and KRS 158.155 employees of the District shall

promptly make a report to the local police department, sheriff, or Kentucky State Police, by telephone or

otherwise, if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that conduct has occurred which constitutes the

use, possession, or sale of controlled substances on the school premises or within one thousand

(1,000) feet of school premises, on a school bus, or at a school sponsored or sanctioned event. In addition,

when they have reasonable belief that a violation has taken place, Principals shall immediately report to

law enforcement officials when an act has occurred on school property or at a school-sponsored function

that involves student possession of a controlled substance on school property in violation of the law.

Addendum 2 - Weapons

A student who transports, is in possession of, or conspires to have brought a gun to school or to a school

sponsored activity on or off the school campus will be immediately suspended and a recommendation shall

be made to the Board of Education for his or her expulsion from school. This rule holds whether or not the

gun is operable or inoperable, loaded or unloaded, and is or is not used to intimidate or harm another.

A student who uses a knife or other weapon or a commonplace item such as a stone or stick to intimidate or

harm another will be immediately suspended from school and a recommendation for his or her expulsion

will be made to the Board of Education upon the first offense. A report to the local police will also be filed

in any case in which a weapon is involved.

A student who likewise transports, possesses or conspires to have brought to the school or school activity

any other kind of illegal weapon will be immediately suspended and expulsion recommended.

14 | P a g e

KRS 527.070 - Unlawful possession of a weapon on school property in Kentucky is a felony punishable by a

maximum of five (5) years in prison and a ten thousand dollar ($10,000) fine.

Addendum 3 - Electronic Devices

Students may possess and safely use electronic devices such as cell phones, smart phones, laptops and

tablets in common areas of the school (i.e. hallways and cafeteria). Devices may be used in classrooms,

school offices or the library with teacher or principal permission. Teachers will post their electronic device

expectations on a classroom wall for their students, indicating if and when devices may be used in class.

1st Violation Device will be confiscated, submitted to a principal. Then a parent will be contacted

and the phone will be returned to the student at the end of the school day with parent/guardian

permission.

2nd Violation Device will be confiscated, submitted to a principal and returned to a

The device will be confiscated for the remainder of the semester unless or until the student earns

their digital driver’s license.

Administrative Note: Confiscation of electronic devices during the investigation of drugs, alcohol, and

other prohibited substances and/or weapons constitutes sufficient reasonable suspicion for the administration

to search the contents of the electronic device to ensure the safety of students and staff. Students may be

subject to further disciplinary action related to the search of the contents of an electronic device. Local law

enforcement may be notified in accordance with KRS 158.154 and KRS 158.155.

Addendum 4 – Attendance

Guidelines

• All absences will default to unexcused absences (unless prior arrangements have been made

with the principal or his designee).

Eight (8) parent/guardian notes will be allowed during the school year.

• A doctor’s statement must be provided for any student that misses more than three (3)

consecutive days.

• All notes must be submitted to the Attendance Office within five (5) days of returning to school

or they will not be accepted.

Definitions:

Parent/Guardian Notes (excused absence)

Each student will be permitted eight (8) excused absences per year with a parent/guardian note. Even

though a student may have parental/guardian consent to be absent from school, the principal, or his

designee, reserve the right to decide the validity of the absence.

Doctor Statements (excused absence)

A doctor’s statement is a dated, timed, statement from a doctor/dentist/school-based health center* that

identifies the student’s problem, the medication prescribed, and the duration the student will be missing

from school. The principal, or his designee, reserve the right to decide the validity of the doctor’s

statement.

Death in immediate family (excused absence)

Immediate family is defined as siblings, parents, stepparents, grandparents, or guardian/s. A funeral notice

must be submitted to the Attendance Office.

15 | P a g e

Court Appearances (excused absence)

Any student missing school due to a court appearance must return with a note from a court official to

receive an excused absence. The principal, or his designee, reserve the right to decide the validity of the

absence.

Unexcused Absences

An unexcused absence is any absence not listed under excused absences or an absence deemed invalid by

the principal, or his designee. A student with an unexcused absence will receive zeros (0s) on any and all

work completed that day in all classes.

Pre-arranged Absences

Must be made forty-eight (48) hours in advance and are at the discretion of the principal, or his designee.

Leaving school due to illness

Any student seeking permission to leave school because of illness should have exhibited signs of illness

(a teacher’s referral to the office for illness, vomiting, fever). If that student has no obvious signs of illness

their temperature will be taken prior to being allowed to call home. The principal, or his designee, reserve

the right to decide the validity of the absence and may excuse the absence at his/her discretion. Submitting a

proper doctor’s statement or acceptable parent note may excuse these absences.

*School based health centers are located at Tichenor Middle School and Howell Elementary

School within the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District.

Unexcused Absences - Truancy

KRS 159.150 Definitions of truant and habitual truant -- Attendance record requirements -- Adoption

of truancy policies by local school boards.

1. Any student who has attained the age of six (6) years, but has not reached his or her eighteenth

birthday, who has been absent from school without valid excuse for three or more days, or tardy

without valid excuse on three (3) or more days, is a truant.

2. Any student enrolled in a public school who has attained the age of eighteen (18) years, but has

not reached his or her twenty-first birthday, who has been absent from school without valid excuse

for three (3) or more days, or tardy without valid excuse on three (3) or more days, is a truant.

3. Any student who has been reported as a truant two (2) or more times is a habitual truant.

4. For the purposes of establishing a student's status as a truant, the student's attendance record is

cumulative for an entire school year. If a student transfers from one (1) Kentucky public school to

another during a school year, the receiving school shall incorporate the attendance information

provided under KRS 159.170 in the student's official attendance record.

5. A local board of education may adopt reasonable policies that:

a. Require students to comply with compulsory attendance laws;

b. Require truants and habitual truants to make up unexcused absences; and

c. Impose sanctions for noncompliance.

16 | P a g e


DANCE DATE POLICY

To receive approval, your guest to attend a school dance a form must be completed and returned to the front office

for approval no later than one week before the date of the dance.

School dances are an official school function and school officials must be able to account for all students and guests. No

guest will be allowed to attend prom or any other school dance without first completing the proper paperwork and

receiving approval from the administration. Failure to provide complete and accurate information may result in denial.

Since we want all of our students to enjoy these momentous occasions in their young lives, we have strict rules governing

the acceptance of persons who do not attend our institution. Grounds for denial include, but are not limited to the

following: any criminal record, discipline infractions for disruptive, disrespectful or insubordinate behavior in school, bus

violations, defiance, gang-related activity, use of alcohol, tobacco or any illegal narcotic. Further, since this is a high

school event and in keeping with Kentucky state law, no one 21 years of age or older will be permitted to attend a school

dance at LMHS.

All guest applicants will be required to submit a copy of a photo ID.

MEDICATION POLICY

If you wish your child to be given medication at school, the proper paperwork must be completed. The purpose is to

make sure that your child receives the prescribed medication and that school personnel know the expected reactions to the

medication. Once the forms have been returned to the school you would need to send the medication to school in the

original container, with prescription label attached. It is the responsibility of the parent to submit a new form if the

medication is changed in any way (such as time, route, dosage, or if discontinued).

Medications that contain narcotics WILL NOT be given during school hours. Students may carry certain medications as

ordered by the doctor and with the Principal’s permission.

During school hours trained school personnel will administer the prescribed medication according to the specified

physician’s recommendations. Should the need arise the school will contact the physician regarding the medication

and/or the condition for which it is being administered.

Medication forms can be picked up at any time in the front office.

acceptable to graduation in order to be eligible to participate in athletics during the subsequent week (Monday through Sunday period)

and through the next opportunity to examine grades in this manner. On its membership form, each member school shall designate the

Access to Electronic Media for Students

GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS

The Erlanger-Elsmere School District is pleased to offer its students access to the District computer network for

Internet and Email use. This access is provided through the Kentucky Educational Network. This access in-cludes

access to the Internet, to email, to the District internal network, and to any other technology resource, including

computers, accessed via that internal network (from this point on, all of these resources will be re-ferred to simply as

“The Network”). To gain access to the Network, all students must either sign the attached form or the District

enrollment form and must also gain parental permission. Parental permission is granted in one of the following ways:

1) by having the parents/guardians sign and return the attached form to the office of the school, or 2) by having the

parents check the appropriate place on the student’s initial enrollment form and signing the form. By signing either

attached form or the District enrollment form, students and their par-ents/guardians agree to the terms of the

Acceptable Use Policy for Students.

Except in cases involving students who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have no legal guardian, par-

ents/guardians may request that the school/District:

Provide access so that the parent may examine the contents of their child(ren)'s email files;

Terminate their child(ren)’s individual email account and/or Internet access; and

Provide alternative activities for their child(ren) that do not require Internet access.

Access to the Network is to enable students to explore thousands of libraries, databases, and websites while ex-

changing messages with Internet users throughout the world. The Network is to be used by students for educa-tional

purposes only. While our intent is to make Internet and Email access available to further education-al goals

and objectives, students may find ways to access other materials as well. Although the District does implement

filters to decrease the risk, families should be warned that some material accessible via the Internet may

contain items and information that are illegal, defamatory, inaccurate, or sexually ex-plicit, or otherwise

potentially offensive to some people. Additionally, the content of the Network includes many statements and

options. These expressed statements and opinions are not those of the District. Access to the Network is given to students who agree to act in a responsible manner. Access is a privilege and not a

right. Access can be revoked for improper usage and legal or disciplinary actions, if warranted, may be taken.

Network storage areas may be treated like school lockers. Administrators may review files and communications to

maintain system integrity and insure that users are using the system responsibly. Files stored on District com-puters

or servers or through District provided or sponsored technology services, are not private. Students should not expect

that anything they do on the Network will be private.

Notification of FERPA Rights

Distribute this notice annually to parents and students.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and “eligible students” (students over

18 years of age or students who are attending a postsecondary institution) certain rights with respect to the

student’s education records. They are:

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within forty-five (45) days of the day the

District receives a request for access.

Parents or eligible students should submit to the school Principal/designee a written request that identifies

the record(s) they wish to inspect. The Principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or

eligible student of the time and place where the record(s) may be inspected.

2. The right to inspect and review logs documenting disclosures of the student’s education records.

Except for disclosure to school officials, disclosures related to some judicial orders or lawfully issued

subpoenas, disclosures of directory information, and disclosure to the parent or eligible student, FERPA

regulations require the District to record the disclosure.

3. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student

believes are inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights.

Parents or eligible students may ask the District to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate,

misleading, or in violation of privacy or other rights. They should write the school Principal, clearly identify

the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of their

privacy or other rights.

If the District decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the District will

notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise him\her of the right to a hearing regarding the

request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the

parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.

4. The right to provide written consent prior to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained

in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without

consent.

Exceptions that permit disclosure without consent include:

a. Disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A “school official” is a person

employed by the District as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including

health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the school Board; a

volunteer, or an outside person or company with whom the District has contracted to perform a special

task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an

official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in

performing his/her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record

in order to fulfill his/her professional responsibility to the District. This may include contractors,

consultants, volunteers, and other parties to whom the District has outsourced services or functions.

Notification of FERPA Rights

b. Upon request, disclosure of education records without parent/eligible student notice or consent to

officials of another school district or post-secondary institution in which a student seeks or intends to

enroll or is already enrolled or to other entities authorized by law so long as the disclosure is for

purposes related to the student’s enrollment or transfer.

c. Disclosure of information to those whose knowledge of such information is necessary to respond to an

actual, impending, or imminent articulable and significant health/safety threat.

d. Disclosure to state and local educational authorities and accrediting organizations, subject to

requirements of FERPA regulations.

Designated Kentucky State agencies may be permitted access to student record information, which will

depend on the authority granted to their particular agency.

5. The right to notify the District in writing to withhold information the Board has designated as directory

information as listed in the annual directory information notice the District provides to parents/eligible

students.

To exercise this right, parents/eligible students shall notify the District by the deadline designated by the

District.

6. The right to prohibit the disclosure of personally identifiable information concerning the student to

recruiting representatives of the U. S. Armed Forces and its service academies, the Kentucky Air National

Guard, and the Kentucky Army National Guard.

Unless the parent or secondary school student requests in writing that the District not release information,

the student’s name, address, and telephone number (if listed) shall be released to Armed Forces recruiters

upon their request.

7. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the

District to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers

FERPA is:
