WELCOME
We at Prairie Central schools
believe that all children can learn, all children must be served, and that the
primary purpose of the school improvement process is to improve student
performance. With these basic
assumptions as a point of reference, the following points are deemed necessary
to insure that all students have an opportunity to be successful students and
ultimately productive members of our society:
1.
To be responsible for their actions.
2.
To use the skills necessary for successful problem solving.
3.
To communicate effectively through the written and spoken word.
4.
To be able to build basic skills from each grade level to the next.
5.
To be able to foster and to work toward achieving goals.
6.
To be aware and accepting of others.
7.
To understand cooperative learning to achieve harmony.
8.
To be a good listener.
9.
To express their thoughts without fear.
10. To develop the whole
child: academically, physically,
emotionally, socially, and artistically.
11. To show respect for those
in authority.
If parents have a concern, they
should first go to the teacher. If
not satisfied, they should then go to the principal.
If not satisfied, then to the superintendent, and last to the Board of
Education.

This handbook shall not be interpreted as a contract of

ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES
Parents are to call the school for their son or daughter by 8:30 a.m.
whenever the student is going to be absent (unless a prearranged absence has
been made with the teacher or office). State
law requires students to attend school unless there is valid cause for the
student's absence. Valid causes
include:
1. Illness (specified -
elevated temp, vomiting, etc.)
2. Observance of religious
holidays.
3. Death in the immediate
family
4. Circumstances which cause
reasonable concern to the parent or guardian for the safety or health of the
student.
5. Family emergency.
6. Other situations approved
by the school principal.
7. Except under extenuating
circumstances, doctor appointments (i.e., orthodontist, dentist, eye, and
medical) will be
considered
as 1/2 day excused, not a full day.
If previous contact was not made to the office (phone/note), a student
must bring a written statement signed by a parent or guardian stating the reason
for the absence when he/she returns to school after the absence.
STUDENT ATTENDANCE
In the interest of providing a quality education for all eligible students
in Prairie Central District #8, it is our responsibility to provide a system by
which students are encouraged to attend classes regularly.
Students are expected to attend school regularly and are bound by the
Illinois School Code, Chapter 122, Article 26.1 and 2 to do so.
Should a student miss six days of school, physician verification of
illness may be required. This
physician documentation must state the cause of the absence and recommend that
the school excuse the absence. It
must also state that the student should not attend school due to illness. Students
are to be on time for all classes in order to benefit maximally from the
instructional program and to develop habits of punctuality, self-discipline, and
responsibility. The District shall
not be made liable for the educational progress of students who fail to maintain
regular attendance habits. The
District will not be liable for the progress of students who are removed from
school for extended periods of time contrary to law or good educational
procedure. At each report card
period, written notification will be included in the report card of students who
have missed 10% or more of school attendance days.
A student will be marked tardy if they are not in their classroom by the
second bell (see individual School Pages for exact times).
A student shall be considered tardy at anytime during the school day if
he/she is not in his/her assigned classroom at the assigned hour.
Any student tardy to school must report to the office.
Excuses such as: oversleeping,
alarm didn't go off, parent didn't wake me up, etc. will NOT be excused and may
result in disciplinary action. After
three incidents of tardiness, the student may receive an after-school detention.
Students who are tardy ten percent (10%) of the previous 40 days will be
turned into the truant office as required by school code.
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES
Unexcused absences are those which could not be approved by the
administrator for various reasons. The
student will be responsible to make up work missed or a zero grade may be
recorded. Effort will be made to
provide the support services necessary to remedy any attendance concern which
inhibit the student's chance of success. UPON
THREE TARDIES, WITH NO VALID EXCUSE, STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE 1/2 DAY UNEXCUSED
ABSENCE. The school discourages
students from leaving school for family vacations and similar reasons.
When necessary to be absent, however, a student should bring a written
request at least two days prior to being away.
This will enable a student to arrange for some assignments.
All tests and some work may still need to be made up upon return to
school. Requests may be denied (at
the administration’s discretion) because of a poor attendance record, poor
disciplinary record and/or a poor academic record.
Students who are absent ten percent (10%) of the previous 180 days will
be turned over to the truant office as required by the school code.
Students will check in at the office upon arriving during the day.
Students will check out in the school office before leaving during the
day. NO student is permitted to
leave without permission from the office. Parents
coming into the building to pick up students must also check in at the office.
Appointments: Students
leaving during the day for appointments that cannot be scheduled for after
school must have a note from their parents prior to leaving (if prior contact
with the office was not made by the parent).
Student Illness: If a student
becomes ill, he/she is to report to the office. The office will contact the
parents if it is necessary for the student to go home.
Students will not be sent home without consent of the parent or other
responsible adult designated by the parent.
Students may not go out to a restaurant for lunch unless the parent comes
to pick them up.
OUTDOOR RECESS
Recess will be outdoors whenever possible.
Exceptions to this are as follows: a)
rain, b) heavy snowfall, and/or c) temperature or wind chill factor below 15
degrees. Please
dress your children appropriately as all are expected to go outside if
weather permits. This means boots,
hats, gloves, coats, etc. Time
children spend outdoors, even if brief, is beneficial.
A student who returns from an illness, upon written parental request, may
be kept indoors for a period of up to three days.
Students that need to stay in longer than three days will need a written
doctor's excuse. During recess,
children are expected to adhere to all playground rules:
1. Once on the playground,
students are not permitted to enter the building without direct consent from the
playground
supervisor.
2. No pushing, shoving,
punching, pulling, or hitting of other students will be permitted.
3.
Students must stay in the designated areas only.
4. Students may not run
through an organized game.
5. Jump ropes may only be
used as such. They cannot be used
for tug-of-war, etc.
6. Play ceases when the
supervisor blows the whistle.
7. Snowballs are not allowed.
8. No climbing trees.
9.
Contact sports are not
permitted
10.
Students on swings must sit in
an upright position, no twirling or jumping off the swings.
Students should not run in
front of the swings. No
underdogs.
11.
Students are expected to share playground equipment.
12. All equipment must be
turned in at the end of each recess.
13. No throwing rocks or wood
chips.
14. No continuous twirling on
the monkey bars.
Playground rules are made to keep students safe.
They may change as needed for student safety as seen by the playground
supervisor.
Bicycles are to be parked in the bicycle racks provided.
Please do not ride your bicycle on the grass.
Students who ride a bicycle to school should follow the safety rules as
set forth in "Bicycle Rules for the Road" published by the State of

12. Community service with local public and nonprofit agencies that enhance community efforts to meet human, educational, environmental, or public safety needs. The district will not provide transportation. School administration shall use this option only as an alternative to another disciplinary measure giving the student and/or parent(s)/guardian(s) the choice.
A student who is subject to suspension or expulsion may be eligible for a transfer to an alternative school program.
Corporal punishment shall not be used. Corporal punishment is defined as slapping, paddling, or prolonged maintenance of students in physically painful positions, or intentional infliction of bodily harm. Corporal punishment does not include reasonable force as needed to maintain safety for students, staff, or other persons, or for the purpose of self-defense or defense of property.
Weapons
A student who uses, possesses, controls, or transfers a weapon, or any other object that can reasonable be considered, or looks like, a weapon, shall be expelled for at least 1 calendar year, but no more that 2 calendar years. The Superintendent may modify the expulsion period and the Board may modify the Superintendent’s determination, on a case-by-case basis. A “weapon” means possession, use, control, or transfer of 1) any gun, rifle, shotgun, a weapon as defined by Section 921 of Title 18, United States Code, firearm as defined in Section 1.1 of the Firearm Owners Identification Act, or use of a weapon as defined in Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code; 2) any other object if used or attempted to be used to cause bodily harm, including but not limited to, knives, brass knuckles, billy clubs; or 3) “look-alikes” of any weapon as defined above. Any items, such as a baseball bat, pipe, bottle, lock, stick, pencil, and pen, is considered to be a weapon if used or attempted to be used to cause bodily harm. The Superintendent or designee may grant an exception to this policy, upon the prior request of an adult supervisor, for students in theatre, cooking, ROTC, martial arts, and similar programs, whether or not school-sponsored, provided the item is not equipped, nor intended, to do bodily harm.
Required Notices
A school staff member shall immediately notify the Building Principal in the event that he or she: 1) observes any person in possession of a firearm on or around school grounds; however, such action may be delayed if immediate notice would endanger students under his or her supervision, 2) observes or has reason to suspect that any person on school grounds is or was involved in a
drug-related incident, or 3) observes a battery committed against any staff member. Upon receiving such a report, the Building Principal or designee shall immediately notify the local law enforcement agency, State Police, and the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s). “School grounds” includes modes of transportation to school activities and any public way within 1000 feet of the school, as well as school property itself.
Efforts, including the use of early intervention and progressive discipline, shall be made to deter students, while at school or a school-related event, from engaging in aggressive behavior that may reasonably produce physical or physiological harm to someone else.
The Superintendent or designee shall ensure that the parent(s)/guardian(s) of a student who engages in aggressive behavior are
notified of the incident. The failure to provide such notification does not limit the Board’s authority to impose discipline, including suspension or expulsion, for such behavior.
Delegation of
Authority
Each teacher, and any other school personnel when students are under his or her charge, is authorized to impose any disciplinary measure, other than suspension, expulsion, corporal punishment or in-school suspension, which is appropriate and in accordance with the policies and rules on student discipline. Teachers, other certified educational employees, and other persons providing a related service for or with respect to a student, may use reasonable force as needed to maintain safety for other students, school personnel, or other persons, or for the purpose of self-defense or defense of property. Teachers may remove students from a classroom for disruptive behavior.
The Superintendent, Building Principal, Assistant Building Principal, or Dean of Students is authorized to impose the same disciplinary measures as teachers and may suspend students guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct from school (including all school functions) and from riding the school bus, up to 10 consecutive school days, provided the appropriate procedures are followed. The School Board may suspend a student from riding the bus in excess of 10 days for safety reasons.
Student Handbook
The Superintendent, with input from the parent-teacher advisory committee, shall prepare disciplinary rules implementing the District’s disciplinary policies. These disciplinary rules shall be presented annually to the Board for its review and approval.
A student handbook, including the District disciplinary policies and rules, shall be distributed to the students’ parents/guardians within 15 days of the beginning of the school year or a student’s enrollment.

Students are expected to have daily assignments completed on time.
Students who are absent from class are responsible for contacting
teachers to get missed assignments and/or make-up work.
For absent students, make-up work deadlines are at the discretion of the
teacher. The date will be dependent
on the number of days absent and the amount or work missed.
Requests for homework should be made by 8:30 a.m. with pick-up times and
procedures needing to be arranged on an individual basis.
CAFETERIA
The cafeteria is maintained as a vital part of the health program of our
schools. To encourage good
nutrition, a well-balanced lunch is offered at a reasonable price.
The lunch room personnel and your fellow students will appreciate your
cooperation in making the cafeteria a pleasant place by:
a) observing good table manners, b) leaving the table and floor around
your place in a clean condition for others, c) depositing all lunch litter in
waste containers, d) returning all trays and utensils to the dish washing area
as soon as you have been dismissed from your table, e) talking quietly.
The following guidelines should be observed:
a) food should not be taken out of the cafeteria, b) students who bring
lunches will not be allowed to bring pop in bottles or cans, and c) students may
not leave until dismissed, and d) food cannot be shared.
For students leaving campus for lunch, parents must personally escort
students off school grounds in these situations.
Students on the Free and Reduced Lunch Program are responsible for any
additional purchases not included in the student meal.
BUS CONDUCT
1. Do not leave your seat
while the bus is in motion.
2. Remain in the bus in the
