Promotion and Retention. If a parent chooses not to accept a decision of a teacher to promote or retain their student to or in a specific grade level, the parent may request in writing that the Governing Board review the teacher's decision. This written request should be sent to the Superintendent's office for processing. School Recognition Programs Academic recognition programs such as Principal's List and Honor Roll have criteria established by each school. Contact the school office for specific information. Student Conduct Behavior Standards Students shall not engage in improper behavior, including but not limited to the following: • Any conduct intended to obstruct, disrupt, or interfere with teaching, research, service, administrative or disciplinary functions, or any activity sponsored or approved by the Governing Board. • Threatening an educational institution by interference with or disruption of the school per A.R.S. 13-2911 and 15-841. • Physical abuse of or threat of harm to any person on District-owned or controlled property or at District- sponsored or supervised functions. • Damage or threat of damage to property of the District, regardless of the location, or to property of a member of the community or a visitor to the school, when such property is located on District-controlled premises. • Forceful or unauthorized entry to or occupation of District facilities, including both buildings and grounds. • Unlawful use, possession, distribution, or sale of tobacco, (including tobacco substitutes, electronic cigarettes, other chemical inhalation devices or vapor products), alcohol, or drugs or other illegal contraband on District property or at school-sponsored functions. • Conduct or speech that violates commonly accepted standards of the District and that, under the circumstances, has no redeeming social value. • Failure to comply with the lawful directions of District officials or any other law enforcement officers acting in performance of their duties, and/or failure to identify themselves to such officials or officers when lawfully requested to do so. • Knowingly committing a violation of District rules and regulations. Proof that an alleged violator has a reasonable opportunity to become aware of such rules and regulations shall be sufficient proof that the violation was done knowingly. • Engaging in any conduct constituting a breach of any federal, state, or city law or duly adopted policy of the Board. • Carrying or possessing a weapon on school grounds. In addition to the general rules set forth above, students shall be expected to obey all policies and regulations focusing on student conduct adopted by the Board. Students shall not engage in any activities prohibited herein, nor shall they refuse to obey any order given by a member of the faculty or staff who is attempting to maintain public order. For further details, see the Appendix. Student Conduct in the Classroom Arizona law stipulates that no one has the right to interfere with or cause a disruption in an educational institution. It is WESD’s obligation to provide maximum instructional time for students. If a student becomes unruly, every attempt will be made to remove that student from the classroom. Depending on the circumstance, and at the discretion of school administration, it may be necessary to remove other students from the classroom in addition to, or instead of, the unruly student. If this occurs, students will reassemble in another area of the school, and instruction will resume as quickly as possible. Parents will be notified if a disruption such as this occurs. Student Dress Student dress, personal appearance or conduct shall not disrupt nor distract from instructional procedures, school-sanctioned social functions or the disciplinary control of the teachers. Accordingly, school administration will not interfere with the prerogative of students and their parents to make decisions regarding appearance and dress except when their choices affect the educational program of the schools or the health and safety of others. Parents and students are encouraged to adopt a style of dress and grooming that is appropriate to the age and size of the child, without extremes that become disturbing influences in the classrooms. Policy: Therefore, District dress standards shall not interfere with individual choice regarding dress and grooming, except as follows: ▪ Dress and grooming shall not present a risk to the health, safety or general welfare of students or others in the school. ▪ Dress and grooming shall not interfere with or disrupt the educational environment or process. Dress and grooming shall not be contrary to curriculum goals and/or education objectives; e.g., advertising, promoting or picturing alcoholic beverages, tobacco, drugs or illegal substances, sexual in nature, weapons/bombs or violent language or symbols. ▪ Clothing and jewelry shall not display lewd, vulgar, obscene, plainly offensive language or symbols. ▪ Hats, caps and bandannas shall not be worn. ▪ Clothing shall not expose the chest, abdomen, genital area, buttocks and shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments at all times; e.g., colored bras and sports bras. Clothing such as see-through or fish-net fabrics, spaghetti straps, halter tops, low-cut tops, bare midriff tops that show the belly button when arms are raised above the head, hip- hugger pants that are too low and excessively short shorts or skirts are prohibited. ▪ Clothing should fit properly, not being overly loose, baggy, saggy, or overly tight. Pants must fit on the waist so as to be able to remain on the waist without the aid of a belt. Pants should not drag or be frayed at the bottom. Leg size should not exceed the students shoe size. ▪ Pajamas and slippers are not allowed, except on designated days. Piercing and tattooing of the body cannot interfere with the educational process of Washington Elementary School District. If so determined by administration the student will remove or cover the distraction.
