MIDDLE SCHOOLS MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Beavercreek City Middle
School is to prepare all of our students to meet the academic, social, civic, and career needs of the twenty-first century. This will be accomplished by providing programs that emphasize the lifelong skills necessary to continue learning and communicate clearly which will contribute to the useful and productive lives of its students.
WELCOME
Welcome to the Beavercreek City Middle Schools, Ankeney Middle School and Ferguson Middle School. This handbook is intended as a guide to the information, policies, and procedures that govern the basic operation of our building. It is essential that all students know the contents and use the handbook throughout the year. Administrators, counselors, and teachers will help answer questions about this guide and/or topics which it does not address. Our goal is Excellence. Striving to reach this goal must be a united effort on the part of the students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community. The personal benefits students receive from their years here will be determined by the extent to which everyone becomes truly involved and puts forth his/her best effort. We are happy to have you with us this year and wish you the best of luck.

Principal of AMS Principal of FMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
DAILY SCHEDULE At Ankeney, when students enter the front lobby
doors in the morning, they should remain in the lobby until 8:30 AM. At Ferguson, when students enter the front lobby
doors in the morning, they should report to the gym until 8:05 AM. The normal schedule is as follows:
ONE CALL NOW The district uses the One Call Now system for both calamity-related and informational calls. Every student in the district is automatically enrolled in this system. If you have a child in the district, you may add three additional numbers to the systems so you receive
messages on more than just the default student phone number. For more information on this system please contact your child‟s school office.

SCHOOL VISITORS All visitors, including parents, must register at the office immediately upon arrival. Students are not permitted to bring visitors to school without prior permission of a principal.
VOICE MAIL & E-MAILS The teachers‟ voicemail numbers and e-mail addresses are listed on the schools‟ websites:
Ankeney: (http://www.beavercreek.k12.oh.us/ams/) Ferguson: (http://www.beavercreek.k12.oh.us/fms/)
You may also call the school and press 8 for a directory of teachers‟ names and voice mail boxes.
ATTENDANCE Regular daily class attendance and punctuality are necessary in order for the learning process to be effective. Frequent absences disrupt the instructional process, which requires a continuity of classroom learning experiences, pupil interaction, and study in order to reach the goal of maximum educational benefits for each student. Studies show that students who miss school frequently experience great difficulty in achieving the maximum benefits of instruction. We are aware that there are occasions when a student cannot be present and thus may miss an essential learning experience.
4
Board policy 5200 states that in accordance with statute, parents/guardians are required to notify the school of a child’s absence from school. That notification may be in written, oral or electronic form. The school must keep a record of that notification. Parents are strongly urged to call the school to advise the school personnel of their child’s current daily absence: Ankeney by 9:30 a.m. Ferguson by 9:00 a.m. Ankeney at 429-7567 (press 1 to get absence line) Ferguson at 429-7577 (press 1 to get absence line)
We encourage parents to follow up with a note concerning the absence when the child returns. Excused absences include personal illness, severe
illness in the immediate family, death in the family, religious observances, medical, dental, and psychological appointments. Other legitimate absences may be considered excused only when prior arrangement is made with the principal. The use of terms such as “family emergency” or “personal” will not be accepted for an excused absence unless approved by the principal. Repeated incidents of unexcused absence may result in additional disciplinary action if a note is not brought or a phone call is not received from a parent/guardian within two days after the absence. Truancy is absence from school without the knowledge and permission of school and parents. This is against state law #3321.01 and its continued violation could result in corrective steps. If total absences (excused and unexcused) become excessive within a grading period or semester, the student may be referred to the truant officer or principal. Once a student has missed 10 days in a semester, documentation may be required from a healthcare professional on office stationary to excuse the absences.
MAKE-UP WORK A day of excused absence may be made up. Time equal to the amount of time absent will be given to complete make up work. Students may be held responsible for tests which are given on the day of return if the assignment was made prior to the absence. IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE IN MAKING UP WORK.
A student out of school 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS or longer may request homework assignments by having parents call the office. Assignments will be available for pick up 24 hours after the request has been made. If absent LESS THAN 3 DAYS, we suggest the
student contact another student in class or check their Teachers‟ Website for assignments. Students are expected to complete the requested assignments. Students are encouraged to use the “Homework Buddy” page in the front of this handbook to get names and phone numbers of students to call for assignments.
STUDENT ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE In the morning, students should enter the building by the front doors immediately after being dropped off, walking onto school property, or getting off the bus (See Daily Schedule, page 3, for arrival times). Students are
discouraged from arriving before 7:50 a.m. (FMS) or 8:20 a.m. (AMS) as they are not under direct supervision until the buses begin arriving at that time. If students must arrive before these times, they are to remain in the gym (FMS) or lobby (AMS) unless with a teacher or coach. After school, students should exit the building immediately. The students are released at
Ferguson MS: 3:18 or 3:20 p.m. (staggered release) Ankeney MS: 3:45 p.m.
At Ferguson by 3:30 p.m. or at Ankeney by 3:50 p.m., students need to be in their assigned room for detention, with their coach if on a sports team, or out of the building boarding a bus or walking home. Students loitering in hallways or in unauthorized areas without a pass will be subject to disciplinary action ranging from demerits to suspension. Ferguson students are not permitted to get off the bus at the high school. This could result in disciplinary action. Also, Ferguson students are not permitted to ride with high school students in cars without a note on file in the FMS office. If a student rides home with a high school student, they must wait until the buses have left the premises before advancing to the parking lot. Students are not to ride to and from school in a vehicle driven by anyone other than their parent/guardian without a written/dated note from their parent/guardian. All students are reminded that upon the dismissal at 3:20 p.m. (FMS) or 3:45 p.m. (AMS), they should get their books and belongings quickly and get on their buses. Students are discouraged from loitering in groups in the hallways or outside. Also, horseplay or snowball throwing may result in disciplinary action.
SCHOOL TARDY
Please remember that oversleeping, an alarm clock that didn‟t go off, traffic, a missed bus, parents running late, etc are considered unexcused tardies. The consequences for unexcused tardies start over with each grading period: 1

Tardy In-School Suspension & Attendance Officer notified
LATE ARRIVAL Any student entering after school starts must sign in at the attendance office (102). Students who arrive within one hour of the start of school will be considered tardy. Pupils absent from school less than one-half the school day but more than one hour will be counted absent one-half day. Pupils absent from school more than one-half the school day will be counted absent for the full day. Students will be allowed one unexcused tardy to school each grading period. More than one tardy will result in penalties progressing from demerits to suspension (see above section). Late bus arrivals are not considered tardy. Students must obtain a late bus pass unless arriving during first
5
period or a general announcement may be made to make all staff members aware of students entering school from a late bus.
VACATIONS & WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL Students withdrawing from school will be given a check out list to be signed by teachers and returned to the office. Any fees owed, library books borrowed, or other obligations must be taken care of before records will be forwarded to another school. PARENTS ARE DISCOURAGED FROM TAKING STUDENTS OUT OF SCHOOL FOR VACATIONS.
Students going on trips/vacations should bring a dated note from their parents or guardian to the principal for approval one week before the absence. Make-up assignments must be arranged before the absence. Work assigned before the trip must be turned in the first day the student returns to school after the trip to receive credit.
Students are to provide the 1st period teacher with a signed, dated note from a parent/guardian explaining the reason for the absence.
BUSES Any misbehavior, which distracts the driver, is a very serious hazard to the safe operation of the vehicle and as such jeopardizes the safety of all passengers. FIRST NOTICE - Requires parent signature and form
returned to driver - student may not ride until form is returned to school‟s main office. SECOND OR MAJOR NOTICE - Suspension of bus
privileges for designated period. THIRD NOTICE - Suspension of bus privileges for
the remainder of the current semester. Bus rules are posted in each bus. Violations will be handled by the procedures established by the Director of Transportation. Any student missing a p.m. bus should report to the office and call a parent or guardian for a ride.
BUS CHANGE Bus changes are approved only with the principal‟s signature and a valid reason explained in writing from the student‟s parents. A valid reason is a temporary emergency, as in parents being out of town and student staying with a friend. Staying overnight with friend, working on a school project with a friend, etc. are not valid reasons for a bus change. Students must present a request of bus change to the office before the end of first period so that the main office may call home to verify the temporary emergency. If approved, the principal will issue a bus change form.
EARLY DISMISSAL Students who need to be excused from school before the end of the day must present a written, DATED request from parents or guardians to the first period teacher on the day of the request. The student will receive an early dismissal slip, indicating the time the student is to leave class, which must be shown to the teacher before leaving. The student must then go to the main office and wait for the parent or guardian. NO STUDENT MAY LEAVE THE BUILDING WITHOUT A PARENT OR GUARDIAN COMING TO THE OFFICE OR THE EXPRESSED PERMISSION OF ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS. Also, please understand that we do not take early dismissals over the phone unless it is an emergency. It disrupts classes to interrupt a class to call
for a student. Please always send a note with a student if you intend to take them out of school early. Early dismissals are marked in a student's attendance record the same as tardies, as time out of school. If an early dismissal causes a student to miss 59 minutes or less during the school day it is marked an ED in the student's attendance record. Early dismissals that cause a student to miss between 60 minutes and 3 hours and 15 minutes are marked as a half day absence. Finally, early dismissals in which a student misses more than 3 hours and 15 minutes will be marked as a full day of absence.
SCHOOL CLOSING & 2-HR DELAY SCHEDULE You can listen to any of the major radio stations or network news programs for school closings. In the event that we close school early due to inclement weather that develops during the school day, the p.m. bus schedule will go as it normally does. However, parents and their children should have a plan for the children to get into their houses or have a place to walk to after being dropped off by the bus. We don‟t have the capacity for several hundred students to make phone calls for special arrangements. Please plan ahead in case of an early closing due to weather or other emergencies.

TRAVEL TO AND FROM SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Considering safety factors, students are not permitted to ride bicycles, skateboards, scooters, skates or drive motor vehicles to and from school.

6
participants in any school-sponsored activity requiring transportation are to ride in vehicles approved by the person(s) directly responsible for the activity involved. Student participants riding a bus to a school sponsored activity must ride the bus back to school unless an alternate transportation form is completed and given to the coach/advisor.
CLINIC PROCEDURE If a student becomes ill during the school day the student is to obtain a pass from his/her teacher and go directly to the clinic. Students will not be admitted to the clinic without a pass from the classroom teacher. If a student is to be sent home, a parent must be contacted by the office for permission before the student is released from school. Students are NOT to call home before reporting to the clinic in order to have their parents pick them up at school because of apparent illness.
Disciplinary action may be taken if a student calls home before the nurse determines the nature of the illness. School personnel will administer medication after receiving a two-part form “Request for the Administration of Prescribed/Non-Prescribed Medication at School” that has been completed and
signed by both the prescribing physician and the parents. Forms are required for all medications,
including over the counter medications. The completed form is valid for the entire school year if medication is required on an as-needed basis. All medication is to be stored and administered in the clinic. Medication must be brought in the original prescription container. Reminder: students are not to carry any type of medication on them (purses, pockets, book bags, in lockers) This includes over-the-counter medicines like Tylenol, Advil, aspirin, etc. Students may face disciplinary action for this.
Any time a registered nurse is not on duty, the clinic will be considered closed. If clinic is closed students experiencing serious health issues should report to directly to the main office for assistance. Except in emergencies, clinic passes will be limited to the last 15 minutes of class. Parents, please contact the school nurse with any questions concerning school clinic procedures.
IMMUNIZATIONS
Each student must have the immunizations required by law or have an authorized waiver. If a student does not have the necessary shots or waivers, the principal may remove the student or require compliance with a set deadline. This is for the safety of all students and in accordance with State Law. Any questions about immunizations or waivers should be directed to the school nurse. New to 2011-2012 School Year: Immunization
requirements from the Ohio Department of Health state that students going into the 7
th grade must obtain a
Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap: also known as Boostrix or Adacel). Parents must provide documentation (vaccine name and date administered) to the school nurse.
COUNSELING PROGRAM The counselors‟ offices are located in the main
office complex at FMS and on the main floor in a separate guidance office area at AMS. The school
counselors are here to assist students with personal/social and academic needs. Through prevention and intervention in individual, small group and whole class settings, the counselors strive to address these needs. Services are provided to students in a safe, caring, and confidential manner.
Students are welcome to come to the counseling office anytime with teacher permission when needed, or may sign up to see a counselor before school, at break time, during study hall, or between classes. A referral slip can be obtained from the counseling office or in any classroom. Parents are invited and encouraged to contact the counseling office with any information which may impact their student‟s academic progress or emotional well-being by phone, or by setting up an appointment.
LUNCHROOM PROCEDURE Parents, be advised that you can access your child‟s lunch account by knowing the student‟s ID number and going to www.mealpay.com & following the directions on the site. The students‟ ID numbers are on their schedules and grade cards or can be obtained by calling the office. Ankeney:

ACADEMICS
HOME ACCESS CENTER Beavercreek City Schools has instituted the online program, Home Access Center. This program, allows parents to monitor their child‟s grades online. Parents are given a password and username that gives them online access to their child‟s grades at any time. Per negotiated agreement, all teachers must have their grade book updated every three weeks. Information regarding your password and username will be given to you during the first month of school. If you have any questions regarding the Home Access Center, please contact Linda Stapleton ( Ankeney) 458-2501 or Terry Ward (Ferguson) 458-2538
ACADEMIC HONESTY Teachers will explain the importance of academic honesty to their students. Students who cheat or fail to follow teacher‟s instructions on tests or homework, copy the assignments of other students‟ work or misrepresent computer network information as their own work may face academic and disciplinary consequences. Minimum Consequence - Conference Maximum Consequence – Expulsion With today‟s technology, students have a vast array of information at their disposal. Students are encouraged to use these resources; however, credit must be given appropriately. Webster‟s New World Dictionary states that plagiarism is “the act of taking (ideas, writing, etc) from (another) and passing them off as one‟s own.” In order to avoid plagiarism, students will learn correct citation rules in English class and will be required to cite sources used in assignments.

The grading policies will be reviewed with each student at the start of each school year by that particular subject matter teacher. Copies of such grading policies are found in Middle Schools‟ “Program of Studies”.
IDENTIFICATION OF GIFTED STUDENTS The State of Ohio defines children who are “gifted” as students who perform or show potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared to others of their age, experience, or environment. Ohio law requires the Beavercreek City School District to identify gifted students annually under Ohio Revised Code 3321.03. Children in grades K-12 may be identified as gifted in one or more of the following areas: 1. Superior Cognitive Ability 2. Specific Academic Ability in one or more of the
following content areas: Mathematics, Science, Reading, Writing or a combination of these skills, and Social Studies
3. Creative Writing 4. Visual or Performing Arts Ability such as the visual
arts, music, dance, or drama. The District Policy for the Identification of Children Who Are Gifted which complies with the Ohio Rule regarding screening and identification is accessible to parents in each building office. Brochures that explain the identification process and gifted education services are available, too. Formal screening periods will be scheduled in the fall and spring. Parents may refer their children for screening in any or all of the four areas. Referral forms may be obtained at the school office and should be submitted to the building principal. Parents of students transferring into the District who have been identified as gifted in other school districts in Ohio or out-of-state should use the Referral Form to initiate a review of data to determine compliance with Ohio Standards.
INCOMPLETE GRADES Any incomplete grade may be changed to an “F” two weeks after report cards are issued unless a special extension is granted by the principal.
NINE WEEK, SEMESTER AND YEAR GRADES All nine-week and semester grades are to be recorded in percents. The two (2) nine-week grades shall be averaged to determine the semester grade. The four (4) nine-week grades shall be averaged to determine the yearly grade. A student must pass with a yearly average of 60% or higher to pass the year. Students failing two or more academic classes for the year may be retained unless they successfully complete Summer School.
REPORT CARDS Report cards are issued four times during the school year. Report cards are sent home with the students during the week following the end of each nine week grading period. The final report cards are mailed home.

Interim progress reports will be sent home when the student is failing or near failing at midterm.

A merit is given by a staff member to a student for 1/2 hour of service to the school. It is also possible to earn community merits by doing something of service for the community. It must require 1 hour of your time per community merit and be approved by a principal before it is completed. MERITS AND
DEMERITS ARE CUMULATIVE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR. Merits must be earned and recorded prior to reaching the 10, 20, 30, … etc. levels of demerits.
Demerits must be taken home, signed by the parents and returned the next school day.
SATURDAY ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM The Saturday Alternative Program is used for some rule violations. Assignment to the program is left to the discretion of the building administrators. Misbehavior in SAP , failure to attend, or failure to follow directed guide lines of the program may result in
forfeiture of future SAP options, and may result in an out-of-school suspension.
SEARCH AND SEIZURE School authorities may search the person or property, including vehicles, of a student with or without the student‟s consent, whenever they reasonably suspect that the search is required to discover evidence of a violation of the Student Code of Conduct or school rules. A search prompted by the reasonable suspicion that health and safety are immediately threatened will be conducted to protect persons and property. Canines trained in detecting the presence of drugs or devices may be used. See Search and Seizure Policy for more information.
STUDENT DISCIPLINE CODE It is the goal of the staff and administration to provide quality educational opportunities for all students without undue interruption of the educational process. Rules governing student conduct are necessary to accomplish this goal and are in effect any time students are on school property, on a school bus, or in attendance at any school related activity. It is our intent to establish and implement the code of conduct to instruct students in acceptable types of behavior, to provide incentives for self-improvement, and to provide a safe learning environment for all students. By design, the student code of conduct should afford the understanding that there are consequences that accompany all behavior. Students are encouraged to STOP, THINK, and MAKE A GOOD CHOICE. Students need to understand that they will be accountable for the choices they make and will be expected to assume responsibility for their behavior. Attempts will be made to keep parents informed of student behavior. Parents should anticipate that the initial school contact will be made by the classroom teacher with subsequent contacts, if necessary, to be made by a counselor or building administrator. Copies of Board Policies are available in the school office, Board of Education office, and public library. The Student Handbook will be in effect until revised. Disciplinary action for those who do not follow the policies may take various forms. Some are: 1. A verbal reprimand. 2. Written behavior contracts and/or team/parent
conferences. 3. Loss of privileges (socials, intramurals, Student
Council participation, athletics, etc.) 4. Detention(s) 5. Demerit(s). 6. Saturday School Program, Suspension(s) and

CO-CURRICULAR/EXTRA-CURRICULAR
COMPETITION, CONTEST, PERFORMANCE CODE TOBACCO, ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG USE
PURPOSE
The Board recognizes that participation in co-curricular and extra- curricular activities is a privilege. In the Beavercreek City Schools participation in co-curricular/extra-curricular activities that include competition, contest or performance, affords students many growth and learning opportunities centered around the commitment to reach one‟s potential while contributing to team and/or organizational success. These are priceless opportunities that we want to make available to students.
The Board expects that students who choose to represent the Beavercreek City Schools in highly visible positions of leadership and/or competition/performance understand their responsibility not only to the rules and regulations detailed in the student handbook but also to the additional rules and regulations contained in the co-curricular/extra-curricular code of conduct.
THE CODE OF CONDUCT
I. Possession and/or Use
Use of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs inhibits fulfillment of individual potential: it is illegal and creates an environment which compromises the individual student‟s health, safety and well-being as well as the health, safety and well-being of all student participants in the co curricular/extracurricular program; therefore, the use of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs (as listed in the student handbook and to include the illegal use of prescription drugs) by student participants will not be tolerated.
II. Selling or Distributing
The selling, distributing or trafficking of illegal drugs, harmful intoxicants, controlled substances, counterfeit controlled substances, or any other substance prohibited by Chapter 2925 of the Ohio Revised Code will not be tolerated by student participants.
VALID PROGRAMS UNDER POLICY
In Beavercreek City Schools, activities that are school-sponsored, voluntarily engaged in by students, and result in competition, contest, or performance apply under the policy. Classes, clubs, or groups that students are members apply under the policy.
LIFETIME OF CODE
All students will be considered “participants” and bound by the Code of Conduct beginning with the date the student enrolls in their respective middle and/or high school. Students may be additionally informed by athletic director/coordinator and/or coaches at initial meetings for sports, clubs, activities, etc. The Code of Conduct is in effect twelve (12) months of year for the duration of the student‟s career.
GRADE LEVEL(S) AFFECTED
Consequences are cumulative in grades 6-8 and 9-12 respectively. A second violation in grades 6-8 may carry over to next grade level. A third violation in grades 6-8 will carry over to grades 9-12. A failure to be in compliance with Student Assistance requirements may result in a carryover of consequence.
PROOF OF VIOLATION
The infraction should have been observed by:
Any principal, or other school district employee (i.e. teacher, teacher aide, secretary, coach, custodian, bus driver, maintenance personnel, security personnel) adult chaperone or advisor during the school day or during school related activities; or
Any principal, faculty member or advisor/coach at any time or any law enforcement officer or agency at any time, or be established by a court or other tribunal having jurisdiction to make such a determination; or
Local law enforcement agencies will share information with school officials, when applicable, in an effort to promote a lifestyle among students that is tobacco, alcohol and otherwise drug free.
REFERRAL/SELF-REFERRAL PROCESS
Students, peers, parents, or other adults sometimes come to the realization that the use of alcohol, tobacco
13
and other drugs is affecting them and/or a student and may seek help for assistance. Student participants can self-refer/refer one time if they have no prior violations of the code and do not have police documentation of an incident. Students will be considered referred for assistance if:
1. Participant approaches a coach, athletic director, or counselor about use and voluntarily seeks assistance; or,
2. Information is received from peers, community members, law enforcement, district employees and/or parents that leads the coach/advisor or other school officials to believe that the student participant may have violated the co-curricular/extra-curricular policy. In this case, the student participant must confirm the validity of the information received, except when the participant‟s guardian (s) refers the student or confirms information.
Participants that fall under the Referral/Self-Referral category will not serve a penalty, however they must:
Enter the Student Assistance Program and agree to follow program procedure. Failure to comply will result in the denial of privilege to participate.
CONSEQUENCES FOR A VIOLATION
1. Use and/or Possession of Tobacco, Alcohol, or Other Drugs
First Violation:
If a student participant is found to be in violation of the Code of Conduct, the student will be denied the privilege of participation (competition/contest/performance) for one calendar year from the date the violation is determined to have occurred.
Or:
If a student is found to be in violation of the Code of Conduct, the student and his/her parent(s) may choose to enter the Student Assistance Program and the one-year denial of privilege to participate will be reduced to 20% of the contests/performances scheduled during the current season and extended as necessary, into the next season in which the student participates. See section Student Assistance Program for specific requirements of the program.
Second violation:
If a student participant is found to be in violation of the Code of Conduct, the student will be denied the privilege of participation (competition/contest/performance) for two calendar years from the date the violation is determined to have occurred.
Or:
If a student participant is found to be in violation of the Code of Conduct, the student and his/her parents may choose to enter the Student Assistance Program as an option to qualify for possible reinstatement after one calendar year from the date the violation was determined to have occurred.

Student Assistance Program for specific requirements of the program.
Third violation: If a student participant is found to be in violation of the Code of Conduct, the student will be denied the privilege of participation (competition, contest, performance) for the remainder of the student‟s career from the date the violation was determined to have occurred.
2. Selling and/or Distributing
First Offense:
Reasonable cause to believe that a student participant is selling and/or distributing any quantities or possessing any bulk amount (as defined in Chapter 2925 of the Ohio Revised Code 2925.37) or intoxicants, illegal drugs, harmful intoxicants, controlled substances, counterfeit controlled substances or any other substance prohibited by Chapter 2925 of the Ohio Revised Code will result in denial of participation for the remainder of the student‟s career. This disciplinary action is in addition to any other disciplinary action which can be taken pursuant to board policy.

The participant will not be allowed to participate in contests/events during the appeal process. The Building Administrator will hear the appeal and arrive at a final decision on the case. There will be no further appeals.
STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Student Assistance Program incorporates assessment, education, drug testing, and service into a program of support for behavior change. It is our goal through the Student Assistance Program to build strong school, family, and community connections so that students are supported in pursuing their commitment to the Code of Conduct. Program requirements are dependent on the level of violation and the level of intervention deemed necessary upon review and assessment of each student‟s case. At minimum, program requirements are as follows, but are not limited to:
First Violation:
1. Contact the Prevention/Intervention Coordinator within two school days of being notified of the violation to arrange for program requirements to be completed.
2. Complete four (4) hours of drug and alcohol education, approved by the Prevention/Intervention Coordinator within 60 days of the violation.
3. Complete ten (10) hours of approved service to their respective school within 60 days of being notified of the violation. Student participants have the opportunity to waive five (5) of these hours if they choose to address their respective peers and coach/advisor regarding the impact
14
their violation has made on their life and their respective team/club. Students must work with the Prevention/Intervention Coordinator to prepare prior to addressing team/club.
4. Comply with drug testing for the remainder of their participation in extra-curricular/co-curricular activities. Drug testing will be completed at a laboratory selected by the school. All costs incurred will be the responsibility of the student if over 18 years of age, or if under 18 years of age, the student‟s parent/guardian.
Second Violation:
1. Contact the Prevention/Intervention Coordinator within two school days of being notified of the violation to arrange for program requirements to be completed.

Third Violation:
While students do not have the option to reduce this violation, Beavercreek City Schools are willing to support and assist the student and family in securing appropriate services for substance use and/or abuse.
STUDENT HAZING The Board believes that hazing activities of any type are inconsistent with the educational process and prohibits all such activities at any time in school facilities, on school property, at any school sponsored events, or in connection with any school activity, team, or purpose. Administrators, faculty members, volunteers (including coaches) and other employees of the School District shall be alert to possible situations, circumstances, or events which might include hazing. If hazing or planned hazing is discovered by the staff, the students involved shall be informed of the prohibitions contained in this policy and shall be ordered to end all hazing activities or planned activities immediately. All hazing incidents shall be reported immediately to the Superintendent. Students, administrators, faculty members, and other employees who fail to abide by this policy may be subject to disciplinary action. The Superintendent shall distribute this policy to all students and District employees, and shall incorporate it into building, staff, and student handbooks. R.C. 2307.44, 2903.31
STUDENT HARASSMENT Harassment of a student(s) by other students or any member of the staff is a violation of Federal law and is contrary to the Board of Education‟s commitment to
provide a physically and psychologically safe environment in which to learn. In addition to sexual harassment, which includes unwelcome sexual advances or any form of improper physical contact or sexual remark, harassment shall also include any speech or action that creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive learning environment. The Superintendent is to ensure that the Student Code of Conduct contains language prohibiting any form of sexual harassment and any use of racial or ethnic slurs. It should also provide a means for a student to report any incidence of harassing behavior from a fellow student, staff member, or a school visitor, in a way that avoids embarrassment and protects the confidentiality of the student. All such reports are to be investigated by the Superintendent / Designee promptly. Anyone found to have violated this policy and/or the Code of Conduct shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action up to and including removal from the District. Board Policy # 5517
SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY
Please note: The Substance Abuse Policy 5530
was under review at the time of the handbook
publication. If there is a change in policy,
students will receive a copy of the new policy. Substance Abuse Philosophy
The Beavercreek Board of Education recognizes that chemical dependency is a treatable disease which is often preceded by misuse and abuse of mind-altering chemicals, including alcohol. The Board of Education also recognizes that use of chemicals has the potential to interfere with the learning process and students‟ normal physical and emotional development. The health problems of our students are primarily the responsibility of the home and community. Because chemical dependency and/or *co-dependency problems often disrupt the educational process, it is the prerogative of Beavercreek City Schools to intervene with students whenever behavior is observed or an incident occurs suggesting chemical use or co-dependency. Beavercreek City Schools will take positive action through establishment of a comprehensive K-12 prevention/intervention program. This program may include: education, counseling, parental involvement, appropriate referral, support groups, and a program of continuous training for staff members. The Beavercreek School District recognizes that punitive actions - unless coupled with prevention and treatment - offer little encouragement to students to confront problems associated with their use and abuse of chemicals. Therefore, the District is establishing a policy and procedure which couple disciplinary action for violations of its Student Code of Conduct, along with motivations for self-improvement. This policy will be subject to enforcement and/or disciplinary action by the administration during the course of any school year including summer school sessions and school-sponsored activities. (*Co-dependency refers to problems students are experiencing due to someone else‟s chemical use, such as a close family member.)

Student and Parent Notification
A. Introduction The Beavercreek Schools will make parents and
students aware of the student substance abuse policy and all related disciplinary sanctions.
1. At the beginning of each school year the student substance abuse policy and standard of conduct will be distributed to all parents and students.
2. Compliance with the standard of conduct is mandatory.
Substance Use Education
A. Introduction It is the goal of the Beavercreek City Schools,
along with families and community, to provide staff and students factual information regarding the effects of substance use/abuse.
B. Position of the Schools
1. School officials shall survey and attempt to determine the extent of usage and abuse, and convey that information, as needed, to students, parents, and community.
2. School officials shall provide continuing in-service to staff personnel which will enable them to identify symptoms of drug and alcohol abuse.
3. School officials shall work cooperatively with other agencies to educate students, parents, staff, and community members.
4. School officials will endeavor to instruct students in areas including: physical, emotional, mental, social, and legal ramifications of drug and alcohol involvement.
5. The school shall encourage activities that are compatible with a chemical-free lifestyle.
Substance Use By Student
A. Introduction It is a primary objective of the Beavercreek Schools
to assure that the education of all students shall proceed in an efficient, orderly, and non-disruptive manner. The sale, use, or possession of intoxicants, mind-altering drugs or other controlled substances, including alcohol, on school premises is an obstacle to that objective and an interference with the rights of students to receive quality academic instruction. While student drug education and referral to counseling resources will continue to be made available, such measures should be viewed as instructional or rehabilitative and will not be considered as an alternative to the disciplinary measures.
B. Responsibility of Students No student shall use, have on his person or
possession, have within his assigned school locker, automobile, be within easy access of, be under the influence of, sell, intend to sell, transport, give away or conceal any unauthorized mind altering chemical or substance. Those substances included as mind-altering chemicals include, but are not limited to the following: stimulants such as diet medications, caffeine pills, amphetamines, cocaine, crack, etc.; depressants such as alcohol, barbiturates, sleeping medications, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, etc.; narcotics such as heroin, steroids, morphine, codeine, etc.; hallucinogens such as LSD, PCP, peyote, psilocybin; marijuana or any of its derivatives
including hashish or marijuana seeds; inhalants such as butyl nitrite, thinners, solvents, aerosols, etc. Also included in this category are look-alike or counterfeit controlled substances.

support, assistance, and intervention to students experiencing problems which may be related to the use of substances including alcohol. Because the types of assistance may vary, the program may include, but is not limited to, the following:
1. A functioning prevention/intervention team in each building that will assist staff and administration in the identification, intervention and referral, and facilitation of support groups.
2. Support groups that meet during the school day to aid in positive growth for students in recovery, students who are co-dependent and students who may be considered at “high-risk” for use. Groups will be conducted by trained staff.
3. Academic tutoring may be provided to the student enrolled in a residential treatment program who qualifies according to Beavercreek Board of Education Policy No. 5530 (Substance Abuse).
16

DANGEROUS WEAPONS IN THE
SCHOOL The Board is committed to providing the students and staff of the Beavercreek City School District with an educational environment which is free of the dangers of firearms, knives, and other dangerous weapons in the school. A “firearm” includes any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or any destructive device (as defined by federal law - 189 U.S.C. 921-924), which includes but is not limited to any explosive, incendiary, or poison gas, bomb, grenade, or rocket having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than one-quarter ounce, mine or device similar to any of the devices described above. A “knife” includes any cutting instrument consisting of a sharp blade fastened to a handle. Students are prohibited from bringing any firearm or knife onto school property, onto any school vehicle, or to any school-sponsored activity and/or possessing any firearm of knife brought to school, onto any school vehicle, or to any school-sponsored activity by another person. If a student brings, possesses or conveys a firearm or knife onto school property, onto any school vehicle, or to any school-sponsored activity, the Superintendent shall expel the student from school for a period of one calendar twelve (12) month period. Any such expulsion shall extend, as necessary, into the school year following the school year in which the incident occurred. Procedures for notices, hearings, and appeals applicable to expulsions of up to eighty days apply to expulsions for violations of this rule. The Superintendent may reduce the required twelve (12) month expulsion, on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with State Law, considering the following factors: 1. The student‟s age and grade level; 2. Academic, co-curricular and extracurricular record
of the student; 3. Prior disciplinary record of the student; 4. Aggravating and/or mitigating circumstances
related to the offense (including the type of dangerous weapon); and/or
5. The probable danger to the health and safety of other students or staff posed by the offense.
After an opportunity for a hearing, any student who has been expelled from another school district for bringing a firearm or knife onto school property, may be denied admission to Beavercreek City School District, without regard to the requirements of O.R.C. 3313.64 or 3313.65. Such temporary denial of admission shall not
17
extend beyond the expiration of the period of expulsion from the other school district. Students who possess or use other dangerous weapons, such as metal knuckles, razors, clubs, or common fireworks may be subject to expulsion. The Superintendent is authorized to establish instructional programs on the dangers of dangerous weapons which requires students to immediately report knowledge of dangerous weapons and threats of violence by students and staff to the building principal. Failure to report such knowledge may subject the student to discipline up to and including suspension and expulsion from school. Board Policy # 5772
SEARCH AND SEIZURE The Board recognizes that the privacy of students or their belongings may not be violated by unreasonable search and seizure and directs that no student be searched without reasonable suspicion or in an unreasonable manner. The Board acknowledges the need for in-school storage of student possessions and shall provide storage places, including desks and lockers, for that purpose. Such spaces remain the property of the Board and, in accordance with law, may be the subject of random search. Where locks are provided for such places, students may lock them against incursion by other students, but in no such places shall students have such an expectation of privacy as to prevent examination by a school official. The Board directs the school principals to conduct a routine inspection at least annually of all such storage places. School authorities are charged with the responsibility of safeguarding the safety and well-being of the students in their care. In the discharge of that responsibility, school authorities may search the person or property, including vehicles, of a student with or without the student‟s consent, whenever they reasonably suspect that the search is required to discover evidence of a violation of law or of school rules. The extent of the search will be governed by the seriousness of the alleged infraction and the student‟s age. This authorization to search shall also apply to all situations in which the student is under the jurisdiction of the Board. Search of a student‟s person or intimate personal belongings shall be conducted by a person of the student‟s gender, in the presence of another staff member of the same gender, and only in exceptional circumstances when the health or safety of the student or of others is immediately threatened. Administrators are authorized to arrange for the use of a breath-test instrument for the purpose of determining if a student has consumed an alcoholic beverage. It is not necessary for the test to determine blood-alcohol level, since the Board has established a zero tolerance for alcohol use. The Board also authorizes the use of canines trained in detecting the presence of drugs or devices when the Superintendent has reasonable suspicion that illegal drugs or devices may be present in school. This means of detection shall be used only to determine the presence of drugs in locker areas and other places on school property where such substances could be concealed. Canine detection must be conducted in collaboration with law enforcement authorities or with organizations certified in canine detection and is not to be used to search individual students unless a warrant has been obtained prior to the search.
Except as provided below, a request for the search of a student or a student‟s possessions will be directed to the principal who shall seek the freely offered consent of the student to the inspection. Whenever possible, a search will be conducted by the principal in the presence of the student and a staff member other than the principal. A search prompted by the reasonable belief that health and safety are immediately threatened will be conducted with as much speed and dispatch as may be required to protect persons and property. The principal shall be responsible for the prompt recording in writing of each student search, including the reasons for the search; information received that established the need for the search and the name of informant, if any; the persons present when the search was conducted; any substances or objects found; and the disposition made of them. The principal shall be responsible for the custody, control and disposition of any illegal or dangerous substance or object taken from a student. R.C. 3313.20 U.S. Constitution, 4th Amendment; Board Policy # 5771
NETWORK AND INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT FOR STUDENTS
The Beavercreek City School District is now providing access for students to electronic resources such as the Internet. Students are responsible for good behavior on school computer networks just as they are in a classroom or school hallway. The district uses Internet filtering software to prevent students from encountering inappropriate material. Unfortunately, no filtering software is 100% effective. Students are responsible for informing their teacher or other staff member if they inadvertently encounter material that may be inappropriate and should immediately leave the site. All Internet usage is to take place in an area supervised by a staff member or volunteer. Network administrators may review files and communications to maintain system integrity and insure that users are using the system responsibly. Users should not expect that files stored on district servers will always be private. Proprietary rights to a work product created using District technology at school shall remain the property of the District. The following are not permitted: 1. Obtaining, sending or displaying offensive messages, pictures or materials 2. Altering system software 3. Placing unauthorized information, computer viruses or harmful programs on the system 4. Trespassing in others‟ folders, work, or files 5. Disrupting the operation of the network through abuse of the hardware or software (e.g. chain letters) 6. Violating copyright laws 7. Using the network for commercial purposes 8. Downloading files, shareware, or software without the permission of the Director of Technology. 9. Installing of software 10. Interfering with others‟ use of the network 11. Misrepresenting other users of the network 12. Sharing passwords with others 13. Accessing personal e-mail Sanctions for Misuse of District Technology
18
1. The use of the district computer networks is a privilege that may be revoked.
2. Additional disciplinary action may be determined commensurate with the offense.
3. Any fees, expenses, or damages incurred as a result of misuse of district technology are the responsibility of the student and his/her family.
4. When applicable, law enforcement agencies may be involved.

other similar achievements your permission will be expressly sought for that publication.
