WELCOME

Perry-Lecompton Middle School is a special place.  Young people enter this building the first time as elementary students and exit four years later as high school students working toward their diploma.  It is the fervent hope of all who work here that the experience of each student is academically rewarding and full of enriching experiences. 

TOC

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Perry-Lecompton Middle School is to provide a positive and safe learning environment where students will be academically challenged, make responsible decisions and become productive citizens. 

TOC

 BELIEF STATEMENTS

We believe all students can achieve success given appropriate instruction, sufficient time, and the student attitude that learning is important. 

We believe teachers will engage students in active, real-life learning experiences. 

We believe teachers will instruct and evaluate progress using varied techniques and evaluations, which promote active learning to a mastery level. 

We believe the ultimate accountability for learning lies with the student; however, the Board of Education, the administration, teachers, support staff, parents and community will cooperate to provide appropriate educational opportunities.

Each student should see that all of his or her textbooks are used but not abused and that all textbooks are checked-in at the end of the school term. Students are discouraged from writing, marking, or storing papers and pencils in textbooks and should see that books are not thrown or tossed around or mishandled in other ways.

Students must have cash or present their lunch card to eat.  Each morning during announcements students will be reminded to come to the office to make arrangements for lunch if they do not have cash or a lunch card.  Failure to make arrangements in advance is not responsible behavior and will be addressed through the school discipline plan.

Students participating in athletics or cheerleading are covered by the Kansas State High School Activities Association Insurance.

SAFETY DRILLS

Drills are conducted as prescribed by regulations of the State of Kansas and the local school board.  Procedures have been developed to ensure the safety of all students.  

Teachers will discuss the following Emergency Procedures with their classes.

1. When the alarm sounds or an announcement is made, stop all activity and wait quietly where you are until your teacher gives directions.
2. Leave all books and belongings.
3. If directed to do so, leave the room in a quiet and orderly fashion in line.
4. The last person should close the door when exiting the classroom.
5. Proceed in line to the designated area without talking.  Your teacher will tell your class where to wait.
6. Remain in the evacuation areas until the signal is given for the return to the classroom.
7. Return to the classroom without a lot of noise.

 TELEPHONECALLS

Students will not be excused from classes to take telephone calls or make calls (from the phone in the gym) except in emergencies.  Telephone numbers and messages will be taken and delivered to students at the convenience of the office.  If a student must use the telephone, he/she must get a pass from the teacher, sponsor, or office first to use the student phone at the office.  Students shall follow the same procedure to use a cell phone.  Contact with students is to be made through the office. 

TOC

DISMISSAL AND BAD WEATHER

To safeguard the students, advance notice for a change in the usual dismissal procedure should be made by the parent in writing and sent to the office.  If possible, send this request to the office one day in advance.  Students will be issued a “permit to leave” thus enabling them to leave class without needing to have their parent come to the office.  Students will not be released by a phone call except in special instances.  

News of school closings can be heard on WIBW radio and WIBW television, Topeka and KLWN, KLZR radio in Lawrence. 

TOC

ATTENDANCE

All students are expected to be in attendance each day unless they are sick or a family emergency arises.  When a student is absent, parents should telephone (597-5159) the day of the absence or send a note explaining the absence when a student returns to school.  Parents have 24 hours to submit written or phone excuses for student absences to be considered excused.  (Extenuating circumstances may be considered for emergency situations.)  If you would like homework sent home, please call the school from 8:30-9:00 am to make the necessary arrangements.  Make-up homework sheets and/or the student’s material, texts, etc. will be available for pick-up after 3:00 PM. 

School personnel are required by law to report to the District Attorneys Office or SRS children who are not attending school regularly or have excessive absences.  If a student has, within a semester, three consecutive unexcused absences, five unexcused absences or ten general absences for any reason, he/she is considered to be missing an excessive amount of school.

The following guidelines will be used before truancy is reported to the County District Attorney or SRS.

• After 5 absences, a general letter will be sent home stating possible attendance concerns.
• After 10 absences, a letter will be sent home stating that any further absences will be considered unexcused without a doctors note.
• Truancy is reported to the proper authorities after a student is recorded with 3 consecutive unexcused absences or 5 unexcused absences in a semester or 7 unexcused absences in the current school year.   

Unsupervised students may not leave the premises during school hours without parental permission. 

An attempt will be made by the office to notify a parent or guardian by phone if a child is absent without a parent contact. 

For attendance recording purposes, students who miss more than ten minutes of a class period will be counted absent for that class. 

If a student’s absence is excused the student may practice or compete in a contest that same day, provided both the principal and coach/sponsor agree that participation would not jeopardize the student’s (or the team’s) health or well being. 

TOC

TARDIES

Always get to class on time.  Students should be in their assigned seats when the tardy bell sounds.  If you cannot be in class on time, check with the teacher in order to get permission to be late.  Teachers will use the discipline plan to manage student tardies. 

TOC

FIRST AID AND MEDICATION POLICY

The Perry Middle School staff cannot offer more than basic first aid to any student.  Our school encourages the home to dispense medication whenever it is at all possible. 

Diagnosis or treatments of injuries or medical conditions are within the responsibilities of the school.   

Guidelines for Dispensing-

USD #343 will assist in dispensing medication to a student if necessary during the school day.  Before ANY medication will be dispensed to a student, the following procedures must be followed:       

• The medication must be sent to school in the original dispensary container or the original pharmacy container on which the child’s name, dosage, and type of medication are clearly noted.
• THE SCHOOL CANNOT GIVE THE 1^ST DOSAGE OF ANY MEDICATION TO A STUDENT.
• The school must have on file a written document from the physician and the parent/guardian giving school personnel permission to dispense prescription medication, stating reason for giving medication and noting the period of time over which medication should be dispensed to the student.
• The school must have on file a written document from the parent/guardian giving school personnel permission to dispense non-prescription medication, stating reason for giving medication and noting the period of time over which the medication should be dispensed to the student.  

A copy of the medication form was distributed at enrollment and a copy can be found in this handbook.  More forms are available in the school office.

We understand that this policy can require extra work on the part of the parent.  However, a change in state law requires we follow it.  It is designed to safeguard children.

TOC

DISCIPLINE PLAN

The staff members at PLMS are dedicated to help students learn to make wise choices and to be responsible for their own choices.  Students are expected to adopt and practice a code of self-discipline to promote a safe and non-threatening environment at PLMS.  Students as well as staff are expected to be friendly, courteous, respectful, honest, and fair.   

The discipline point system at PLMS establishes a matrix of escalating consequences for inappropriate or unacceptable behavior.  Consequences become more severe in response to a student’s continued poor behavior choices and the greater the inappropriateness of the behavior.  Potentially illegal behavior will be reported to law enforcement. 

Every student begins the year with zero points.  Points accumulate over the course of the school year.  Consequences are established for students who reach each subsequent point level.  Students have the opportunity to “earn” points to reduce their accumulated point total.  When a student’s point total reaches 8 points a parent-administrator-student conference will be held.  Students who reach 13 points will be recommended for a long term suspension for the remainder of the semester.  A long term suspension hearing will be held.    (See the PLMS Discipline Point Matrix below. Or click link to print a copy.) 

TOC

HOMEWORK AND MISSING ASSIGNMENTS

Each teacher will establish homework and missing assignment rules and policies at the start of the school year.  In all classes, students have a minimum of two school days for each day of excused absence to submit make-up assignments for full credit.  In all classes students will be expected to complete and submit all homework regardless of “credit”.   Teachers will communicate with the office and parents as needed regarding students who habitually fail to complete and submit their homework.  

TOC

 

PROGRESS REPORTS

 PLMS utilizes a method of reporting student progress to the parents in addition to grade cards.  Beginning on the 3rd week of each grading period, weekly progress reports will be sent home with students on each Monday until the end of the quarter.  These reports are sent home with the students to make the parents aware of the student’s progress so steps may be taken to improve the work of the student before the end of the grading period. 

Parents are also encouraged to check student’s grades on-line through PowerSchool.  Web sites and passwords are sent to parents at the beginning of the year.  Please call the office for more information. 

Teachers may send informational reports home more often.

TOC

ELIGIBILITY POLICY

To be eligible for participation (practice or play) in extra-curricular activities at PLMS, students must meet all KSHSAA guidelines including the requirement to be in “good standing” with the school.  Students must meet the following criteria for both academics and citizenship to be in “good standing” at Perry-Lecompton Middle School.  Fifth and sixth grade students are not eligible to participate in middle school extracurricular activities in any capacity. 

Academic Criteria

Student eligibility will be determined weekly after the third week of school in each semester.  If a student is failing any class, then he/she will not participate or attend in any game or other competition until the next eligibility check.  A student is guaranteed the opportunity to raise his/her grade to passing between eligibility checks.

Citizenship

Students who are not in good-standing may not attend or participate in either games or practices.  If a suspension (ISS or OSS) is the imposed consequence, the student will be ineligible to practice and game participation for the duration of the suspension.   

Team Rules

Each coach and or sponsor will establish eligibility requirements.  A student has a responsibility to the team, group, and self to notify the coach or sponsor of any absence.  Failure to do so may be grounds for an unexcused absence.   

Unexcused absences from practice, contests or performances will not be allowed.  Disciplinary action (held out for a quarter, half, game, etc.) will occur on the first and second unexcused absence.  After a third unexcused absence, a recommendation for dismissal will be sent in writing to the Principal. 

TOC

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

To be eligible for participation in interscholastic athletics/spirit groups, a student must have on file with the office a physical form signed by a practicing physician or registered physician’s assistant certifying the student has passed an adequate physical examination and is physically fit to participate. 

The annual history and the physical examination shall not be taken earlier than May 1 preceding the school year for which it is applicable.  The KSHSAA recommends completion of this evaluation by athletes/cheerleaders at least one month prior to the first practice to allow time for correction of deficiencies and implementation of conditioning recommendations. 

Physical forms can be picked up at the school office or is available on our web site.
