2019-2020 TAFT STUDENT EXPECTATIONS & POLICIES

Our Mission: Educate Global Citizens Our Vision: Create a Better World

EXPECTATIONS You are expected to know and follow the rules of Taft High School and understand all of your rights and responsibilities outlined in Chicago Public Schools’ Student Code of Conduct: http://www.cps.edu/Pages/StudentCodeofConduct.aspx. Specifically, we ask that you conduct yourself and represent Taft, and the entire Taft community, while on and off campus, in a manner that reflects our culture of Respect, Responsibility and Rigor.

ACADEMIC HONESTY Each student must accept responsibility for his or her personal conduct in both social and academic endeavors. Academic honesty means that students produce work that is their own. Academic dishonesty, in contrast, is a student’s attempt to claim someone else’s work as theirs, or to claim academic knowledge that they do not possess. Academic dishonesty can take many different forms and all are subject to disciplinary action. See the Taft Academic Honesty policy for more information.

IDENTIFICATION You are required to keep your Taft ID on your person AT ALL TIMES. You are required to show it every time you enter the school. Staff will NOT confiscate your ID (although there are times when they may hold it temporarily while you are present, i.e. in the Library, Deans' Office, etc). However, you must show it to any staff member upon request.

If you do not have your ID card when you enter the building, you must purchase a temporary ID that is good for one day only; a fee will be charged to your account. Defaced, altered, lost, stolen or misplaced ID cards are replaced at your own expense. Color replacement ID cards are $10. Prices are subject to change. You are not charged when you have a program/schedule change that requires your ID card to be replaced. New ID cards can be ordered at the Security Desk at each campus.

ATTENDANCE Research tells us that good school attendance is the foundation for a student’s success. You are required to attend school and all your programmed classes and to be prompt. Repeated absences, truancy, and/or tardiness to school or classes will lead to consequences that could include loss of privileges such as field trips, dances, internships, graduation tickets, etc. Parents of truant students may be fined up to $500 (IL School Code). Note: Missing two classes counts as ½ day of attendance. Missing three+ classes is counted as a FULL day.

ARRIVAL At the Freshman Academy, you may enter via one of the Link entrances (Door 1 or Door 6). For your safety and the building’s security, no other doors are to be used for entry.

At the Varsity Campus, you may enter via the Bryn Mawr entrance (Door 1) or the Hurlbut entrance (Door 4). After 9:00 AM, you must enter via the Bryn Mawr entrance. Visitors, generally, must use the Bryn Mawr entrance. For your safety and the building’s security, no other doors are to be used for entry.

CELL PHONES/SMART PHONES All Taft students are permitted to use phones in the building/on each campus before and after school, during each individual’s lunch period and between classes. NEW: Students at the Taft Freshman Academy (grades 7-9) may not use cell phones or any electronic devices, except Chromebooks, in classrooms at any time. Devices should be turned off and put away/not visible. Earbuds are permitted only with instructor approval. Students at the Taft Varsity Campus (grades 10-12) may not use or charge any electronic devices or wear earbuds during any classes/periods of instruction without an instructor’s permission. If you use a cell phone, electronic device, or earbuds in a classroom without permission, the item may be confiscated until the end of that class. Note: Students are responsible for their personal belongings. Taft is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. DRESS CODE While we encourage individuality and self-expression among students, we are also in an educational setting that requires students to come to school dressed within certain limits. The Deans or Administration will determine the appropriateness of clothing worn by students. ● Dress slacks or khakis, jeans, sweatpants/joggers, leggings, yoga pants, skirts, skorts or shorts may be worn. ● Items may not be transparent or reveal any undergarments. ● NEW: Head coverings (hats, visors, headbands, bandanas, scarves, etc.) are generally permitted. For

security reasons, however, wearing hoods is NOT permitted when in the school. ● Suggestive, abusive, inappropriate language or designs, or language that includes put-downs (i.e. I’m with

Stupid, etc.) or hate-speech may not be worn. ● Clothing or jewelry that projects violence, drugs or sexual innuendo or represents gang affiliation are

inappropriate. This includes any items with references to alcohol, tobacco or weapons. Students not adhering to the dress code will be sent to the Deans’ Office and will be required to change into a Taft shirt or pants until the end of the day. At that time, they can return the Taft item(s) in exchange for their own clothing. Students returning damaged Taft clothing will be charged a fee. On Halloween students are encouraged to wear costumes to school. The dress code should still be followed. Additionally…

● Complete costume preparations at home. Dressing up or applying makeup or colored hairspray should take place before school starts.

● Costumes should not interfere with learning. They should not restrict your movement or vision or prevent you from participating in class.

● Costumes may not be demeaning or offensive to any group. ● No weapons, toy weapons, or props replicating weapons are to be brought to school. ● No costumes are allowed that would completely hide the identity of the student, i.e. gorilla suit, "Scream"

character. ● No masks are permitted. SAFETY Safety at Taft is paramount. This is why we ask everyone to show identification when they enter the building and also why we ask that you not prop open any exterior doors or open any doors for any unknown individuals trying to enter the building.

2

If, for any reason, you do not feel safe, physically or mentally/emotionally, please let a trusted adult in the building know right away so the matter can be addressed. We cannot help if we do not know what is happening. Thus, it is important for our entire community for you to say something if something you see or hear about doesn’t seem right. You can also report an issue to the school anonymously. Use our Anonymous Tipline on the Taft Website. Click on Eagle Eyes on the left of our main page or go to this link: https://tafths.org/apps/forms2/?f=3266. CLOSED CAMPUS You may not leave campus at any time during the school day. If you have an illness or family emergency, you must obtain an Early Dismissal in the Attendance Office. You will be released into the custody of a parent/guardian or emergency contact person ONLY. If you are 18, we must have verbal consent from a parent for you to leave. CAFETERIA To create a safe, clean, and pleasant cafeteria, students are asked to abide by the following guidelines: ● Show your ID to Security when you enter. ● Enjoy your breakfast/lunch and friends! Feel free to use your electronic devices quietly. ● Your meal must be eaten in the cafeteria. When you are done, put all of your trash in one of the garbage

cans. ● Avoid physical activities or playing games that include hacky sacks or any other objects. ● If you plan to meet with a teacher during your lunch period, you must obtain a pass before you come to

lunch. ● For health and safety reasons, ordering take-out or having food delivered is not permitted by students. At the Varsity Campus, if you wish to leave the cafeteria early during your lunch period, to go to the library, the couches at Door 1, the computer lab or Deans' Office, see the Security Officer at Lunchroom Door 1. LIBRARY At the Varsity Campus, if it is available, you may use the library before school, during your lunch period, and/or after school. ELEVATORS Elevators are for staff and for students with temporary or permanent conditions that make navigating stairs difficult. BANNED ITEMS Students may not have in their possession any item or device prohibited by CPS and Taft while in the building or in attendance at any event under Taft auspices. All banned items will be confiscated; those which are legal will be returned to parents of minors or student owners who are at least 18. Banned items include but are not limited to: Any product associated with the application of graffiti such as magic markers, shoe polish daubers, spray paint, gambling paraphernalia, mace/pepper spray, pocket knives, etc. Possession or use of alcohol or tobacco/nicotine products, any device used to inhale substances, and/or any other drugs in school, on the campus, or at a Taft event is not permitted. NEW: Because these items are illegal for those under 21 (including vapes with nicotine), any equipment confiscated will be turned over to the police or destroyed. Students may also be ticketed by the Chicago Police Department. LOST AND FOUND At the Varsity Campus, the Lost and Found is located just west of the Main Entrance under the stairs. Electronics/expensive items are kept in the Main Office or at the Security Desk (Door 1). At the Freshman Academy, the Lost and Found is located at the Main Entrance Security Desk. Any items unclaimed beyond the last day of school will be donated or discarded.

3

PARKING Taft’s parking lots are reserved for staff and driver education. Street parking is available for all others. Unauthorized vehicles in parking lots will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense. PASSING PERIODS Each passing period lasts five minutes. A one minute warning bell will sound after four minutes have elapsed. SUSPENSION Students who are suspended from school are prohibited from entering the school building and may not attend or participate in any activities during that time. LOCKERS Lockers are the property of Taft High School and are subject to search without notice. Any items left behind beyond the last day of school will be donated or discarded. ● You are required to use your assigned locker and are responsible for any damage incurred during the

year. ● Lockers are to be secured by a Taft lock that can be purchased in the Main Office. Unauthorized locks may

be removed. ● Cash, jewelry or other valuables should not be stored in lockers. ● Skateboards, roller blades and/or any sports equipment must be kept in a student’s locker. If an item does

not fit in a locker, make arrangements to leave it elsewhere, i.e. the Main Office, Deans' Office, etc. Any of these items seen out during the school day may be confiscated.

HALL PASSES Any students in the hallway during class time are required to have an official Taft hallway pass. DISMISSAL Except for those participating in school sanctioned activities/events, students should leave the grounds at the end of their scheduled day. Those participating in post-school activities must take all belongings with them and will be dismissed from the activity by their coach/sponsor via the nearest exit. Students may not remain in the building, including the gyms, without adult supervision. VISITORS All visitors are required to present a valid photo ID and sign in at the security desk. The visitor must wear a Visitor’s Badge in the building and will be directed or escorted to their destination. Parent meetings with teachers are by appointment only. CPS staff wanting to speak with a teacher must have principal approval. PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES AND REPORT CARD PICKUP CPS policy stipulates release of 1st and 3rd quarter grades to a parent or guardian only. Those unable to pick up grades in the library on the designated days may do so during regular school hours. ASSISTANCE/SUPPORTS If, at any time during your career at Taft, you are feeling overwhelmed academically or socially/emotionally, please let a trusted adult in the school know. We have numerous resources at our disposal and can help link you to them, e.g. tutoring, support groups (grief, coping, anger, trauma, substance abuse) and individual counseling.
