Student Handbook 2022-2023
Elementary Technology Policy:
Elementary students will not be allowed to have their personal digital devices during the school day. These are a distraction to the learning environment and limit their interaction with their peers. Staff members have the right to turn devices into the school administrator if students are attempting to use them during the day. The administrator will contact the family and inform them of the incident. The device will be returned to the student at the end of the school day. Teachers have the discretion to allow usage of devices for educational purposes and for students to contact family if necessary (with staff member permission).
Elementary Behavioral Expectations:
Please follow link to the Elementary Behavioral Poster Expectations.
Excessive Absenteeism and Tardy Policy:
Students who accumulate five absences in a quarter or 10 absences per semester shall be deemed to have “excessive absences.” Such absences shall be determined on a per day basis for all students. When a student has excessive absences, the following procedures shall be implemented:
Stage 1: The student has accrued 5 days of absences during the current school year.
School staff reviews the student’s attendance history.
If appropriate, a school staff member (administrator, counselor, school psychologist) will contact the parent(s)/guardian(s).
Stage 2: The student has accrued 10 days of absences during the current school year..
The school sends out the Stage 2 advisory letter to the student’s parents/guardian(s).
School staff reviews the student’s attendance history.
School staff may decide that the excessive absenteeism is justified due to medical reasons or that a meeting with the parents/guardians and student is necessary to develop a collaborative plan identifying and addressing barriers to attendance.
Stage 3: The student has accrued 15 days of absences during the current school year.
The school sends out the Stage 3 advisory letter to the student’s parents/guardian(s).
School staff reviews the student’s attendance history.
School staff contacts the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) with regards to their child’s continued problematic attendance and schedules a meeting with parent(s)/guardian(s) and their student to review the collaborative plan, discuss student’s attendance, and make necessary changes if needed.
Stage 4: The student has accrued more than 20 days of absences during the school year.
The school notifies the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) in writing prior to referring the student to the County Attorney.
The school sends out the following documents to the County Attorney: the Stage 4 County Attorney Referral Letter, the collaborative plan and any amendments, the dates the attendance letters were sent, and the dates regarding meetings with the student and their parent(s)/guardian(s).
The school sends the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) a copy of the County Attorney’s referral letter.
Nebraska State Law, 79-209, allows schools to refer every student, whether elementary, middle, or high school age, who have been absent more than 20 days per year to the County Attorney. A referral to the County Attorney may be made by the school at Stages 1, 2, or 3 based upon a student’s prior attendance history, if absences from previous school years were excessive.
