All medication forms, shot requirements, and health policies, including Spanish versions, can be found and downloaded from www.nisd.net under “Departments” and “Health Services” Health Action Plan (Asthma, Food/Insect Allergies, Diabetes, Seizures): Students who have an asthma action plan and/or health action plan please bring updated paperwork to the nurse’s station during prep days.

Immunization Requirements Students who are not up to date with the state mandated immunizations (see above) will not be able to start school in NISD in August. Parents should ensure that all shots are received before the start of school. While we do not want any child to miss

school, it is imperative that parents fulfill their responsibility and get their children immunized because it is the law.

Northside ISD 2017-2018 Policy Review Refer to the online NISD Student Parent Handbook at http://nisd.net/schools/handbooks for more information.

ATTENDANCE Student Attendance in school is vital. A student’s grades and credits toward graduation depend on it. Texas State Law mandates that students must be in attendance 90% of the time to receive credit for class, no more than 9 absences for a semester course or 18 for a year-long course. To qualify for and maintain off-campus lunch privileges, good attendance must be maintained. Additionally, according to State Law, acceptable student attendance is the criteria for obtaining a VOE form, the form needed to apply for or renew a driver’s license. Parents, we encourage you to monitor your child’s attendance and grades by using “Parent Connection” at www.nisd.net/parentconnection. NISD STUDENT DRESS CODE To aid students and their parents in making decisions about appropriate dress and grooming for school, the following NISD guidelines have been established. 1. Shorts and skorts are prohibited in grades six through twelve 2. In grades three through twelve, skirts, dresses, and culottes must be no more than four inches above the kneecap. There should not be a cut or slit in the clothing that extends beyond the four inch limit. 3. Appropriate footwear must be worn. Footwear which has toes reinforced with steel, hard plastics, or similar materials is specifically prohibited. 4. Hair must be neat and clean. Unconventional colored, multi-colored or spike or Mohawk hair styles are not permitted. 5. Headwear must not be worn in buildings. 6. Any clothes that are suggestive or indecent or which cause a distraction are not acceptable. Specifically oversized clothing, tank tops, muscle shirts, halter tops, spaghetti straps, exposed backs or midriffs, and see through garments are not permitted. 7. Indecent/inappropriate patches, writings, or drawings on clothing are prohibited. 8. All pants are to be full length. Capri pants should be no less than four inches below the bottom of the kneecap and worn at the waist (no sagging or bagging). Tight fitting pants (e.g. tights, Spandex, bicycle pants) are also prohibited. Cut-offs and intentionally frayed pants are also prohibited. 9. Body piercing jewelry is prohibited except for rings, studs or other traditional jewelry worn in the ear. Tongue rings and tongue studs are not permitted. PLEASE NOTE: The NISD dress code will be enforced beginning on the first day of school. NO SHORTS of any type are allowed. This includes long Bermuda-type, denim, or athletic shorts, no matter the length. Additionally caps, hats, and other headwear of any type are not allowed to be worn inside the campus buildings. CELL PHONES Students are permitted, as per NISD policy, to possess cellular phones while on school property or while attending school-sponsored or school-related activities on or off school property. Policy reads that students must turn-off cellular phones and store them during the regular school day, unless one is in a school-designated “electronic device zone” or using it for teacher approved instructional purposes. The regular school day is from 8:50 AM-4:05 PM. The District shall not be responsible for any damage, theft, or loss of a cell phone that parents voluntarily provide for a student. Students may use cell phones before 8:50 AM and after 4:05 PM. Parents, please refrain from calling or text-messaging your students during the school day. Students who violate this policy shall be subject to established disciplinary measures. District employees shall confiscate any cellular phones from students who violate this policy. If a student commits a third violation to this policy in a school year, the privilege of possessing a cellular phone or paging device shall be revoked for the remainder of the school year. ELECTRONIC DEVICES To ensure a positive learning environment the school administrators, faculty, and staff will strictly enforce the rules regarding electronic devices. Cameras, Video Recorders, and DVD Players are not permitted on school premises. As outlined in the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, students, staff, and teachers cannot video tape, photograph, record or display images of other students, teachers, or staff. (Refer to FERPA laws for more detail) The privacy and safety of our students is key. These items cause a distraction to the learning process and the distribution of images/recording violates student privacy. All items listed will be confiscated by campus administration and staff. The video/audio content of these items may be reviewed. Confiscated items will be turned over to campus administration and the student will be held subject to disciplinary action. Parents will be notified by phone that an item has been confiscated. These items will be returned ONLY to the parent or guardian of the student. Parents must provide proper identification before any property is transferred. IPod, CD Players, MP3 Players, Radios, and Video Games are strictly prohibited inside any and all of the buildings at O’Connor HS. Students may listen to music using personal earphones under the following guidelines: A. Outside before school, B. Outside during lunch, or C. Outside after school. The district and campus will not be responsible for any damage, theft or loss of these devices that parents voluntarily provide for a student. SUPPLIES Students should have pens, pencils, a notebook and folder on the first day of school. Individual teachers will inform the student of any additional school supplies needed for their class.

NORTHSIDE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

2017-2018 Parent-Student Authorization Form: High School Please return this form to your child’s teacher or the school office within the first 10 days of instruction.

Failure to return this form will result in a default YES for each of the six items below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Federal law and the Texas Public Information Act, certain information about District students is considered directory information and will be released to anyone who follows the procedures for requesting the information unless the parent or guardian objects to the release of the directory information. If you do not want NISD to disclose your child’s directory information without your prior written consent, you must notify the district in writing by the end of the first 10 days of instruction. Failure to return this form will result in the release of directory information upon request.

A parent is allowed to record their objection to the release of all directory information on one or more specific category of directory information. NISD has designated the following information as directory information: • Student’s name, address, and telephone number • Photograph, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and weight/height of athletic team members • Dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status, degrees, honors, major fields of study, awards received in school, and most recent

school attended Any checks in the “NO” boxes below will result in the blocking of directory information in the designated categories.

District Publications NISD has my permission to release directory information for District publications (Inside Northside weekly, Lessons, etc.), selected photography companies supporting campus pictures, and positive publicity (name and picture in yearbook, newsletters, awards, honors, PTA, booster clubs, etc.) Example: If you check the “no” box, your child’s name will NOT appear in the District newsletter, the school yearbook if she/he won an award, or in any panoramic pictures.

Publications Outside The District NISD has my permission to release directory information to any publication outside of Northside. Example: If you check the “no” box, any information about your child will NOT be released to a newspaper or magazine.

Private Requestors NISD has my permission to release directory information (name, address, phone number, etc.) to any requestor in accordance with the Texas Public Information Act (PIA). The PIA requires NISD to release this type of information to any company, individual, or group that requests it. Example: If you check the “no” box, your child’s directory information will NOT be released to vendors or others who may be soliciting products and services via mail or phone solicitation. Federal law requires districts receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965(20 U.S.C. Section 6301 et seq.) to provide a military recruiter or an institution of higher education, upon request, with the name, address, and telephone number of a secondary student unless the parent has advised the District that they do not want the student’s information disclosed without the prior written consent. NISD has my permission to provide directory information to be released to a military recruiter. NISD has my permission to provide to an institution of higher education with the name, address, and telephone number of my secondary student.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) NISD has been selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Education’s (USDE) FAFSA Completion Project and will also be participating in the TxCAN project. These projects are designed to assist schools in determining which of their senior students have not completed a FAFSA form for the upcoming school year. In order to participate in the project, NISD is required to disclose personal information of seniors to these organizations. NISD has my permission to release this information for these projects.

PARKING POLICY • All student vehicles with the privilege to park on the O’Connor High School campus must be registered with the

Administrative Office and affix a current parking permit to the bottom right (passenger) corner of the windshield. A new parking permit must be purchased each year.

• Parking permits will be sold for $15 to 11th and 12th grade students who are registered at O’Connor High School and are in good standing in attendance, academically, and behavior. Students must also have a valid Texas driver’s license and be able to provide proof of insurance showing vehicle being registered.

• A parking permit must be purchased for each vehicle that will be driven on campus. THE TRANSFER OF PARKING PERMITS FROM ONE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

• Students who must drive a different vehicle for a short period of time must obtain a temporary permit from the Assistant Principal’s office. Student must already have a permit on his/her regular vehicle.

• Sophomores with extenuating circumstances may request a parking permit. Request forms are available in the Assistant Principal’s office. Submitting a request does not guarantee a parking permit. Requests may take 5-10 days to process.

PARKING RULES

• The speed limit on campus is 10 miles per hour. • Student parking is strictly limited to the designated student parking area. DO NOT park at the tennis courts/ag barn area. • A student with a fraudulently obtained parking permit may lose their parking privileges for the remainder of the year. • There will be no loitering in the parking lot before or after school or during lunches. • Students’ vehicles are subject to search if there are reasonable grounds to believe that drugs, alcohol, stolen property, or any

other contraband may be located in the vehicle. • Repeated violations may result in the loss of parking privileges. Any time that parking privileges are suspended for any length

of time, the parking permit will be removed and a new parking permit must be purchased if the parking privileges are reinstated.

• Serious traffic violations such as speeding, unsafe or reckless driving, evading, or repeated traffic violations will result in the loss of parking privileges (along with other possible consequences). A parent conference may be required if a new application is made for parking privileges to be reinstated.

• If a student has excessive unexcused absences or chronic tardiness to any class, his/her parking privileges may be removed until the student shows significant improvement in his/her attendance or a set period of time by the O’Connor administration.

• Consult your Student-Parent Handbook for further information.

Any moving traffic violations, parking violations, or policy violations may result in administrative consequences and/or a citation by NISD Police Officers or any other law enforcement office that may be on campus.
