St. Amant High will have the following clubs.  Student initiative and interest will hopefully bring other clubs into active participation.  It is important that all students participate in co-curricular or extra-curricular activities.

 

 

 

 

 

·Teachers MUST sign-in by 7:15 in the morning.  Duty teachers must be on duty at 7:15.

·         All teachers are expected to monitor the halls between classes.

·         Check mail boxes before school begins each day.  Please keep your mailbox empty.

·         DO NOT leave classrooms during class or between classes.

·         Teachers will make periodic inspections, in some cases daily inspections, to see that students do not deface or misuse classroom furniture, heaters, walls, bulletin boards, computer equipment, etc.

• DO NOT allow students to leave the classroom during class time without a STUDENT PERMISSION SLIP or SIGNED AGENDA.  Students should be allowed to come to the student office to use the phone only in emergencies.
• NO teacher will be permitted to leave campus without permission from an administrator.  The SBO holds the principal accountable for the whereabouts of all teachers during school time.  Please sign the “check-out binder” across from Wendy Boudreaux.  Have an administrator initial the book.
• Teachers must attend all assemblies and pep rallies to help maintain order.  Teachers are not to stay in the lounge during activities. Teachers will be the last person to leave the classroom each day and will see that all windows and doors are closed and locked.  Turn off the lights.  Keep the general condition of the room in order.
• Teachers must not dismiss classes early at lunchtime or at the end of the school day.  The exception would be that teachers with lunch line duty should be on their duty post when the lunch bell rings.  Bring your class with you.
• Teachers will not permit students to go on errands that take them off campus.
• NO classroom shall be locked at any time while a class is being held.
• Door windows should not be covered.
• Do not leave the school grounds in the afternoon until all school buses have departed.
• No student should be sent out of the room and placed in the hall for discipline purposes.  Send the student to the office or keep him/her in the classroom.
• Students will not be permitted to make purchases that are to be charged to SAHS.
• Teachers can only make purchases by obtaining the proper purchase request from the office or credit cards (issued to each teacher by the SBO).
• DO NOT keep a student after class and cause him/her to be late to the next class. 
• Teachers should dress professionally. 

 

 

·         All teachers are responsible for calling in their own absences to the Substitute Employee Management System (SEMS).  The website for recording an absence is:  https://tssi.apsb.org.  Online you will be asked for your “User ID” and your “PIN number”.  Your “User ID”, your employee number, is a four or five digit code found at the top center of your payroll stub.  Your PIN number is the six-digit code given to you by the sub system the first time you call.  Phone numbers are D’Ville:  746-1750; Baton Rouge:  766-1325; Gonzales:  647-7200.  If you need help with this process, check with Mrs. Holland for instructions to get your special ID number.

·         Mrs. Holland will have a list of available subs with their phone numbers for you ASAP.  You may request a specific substitute/paraprofessional by inputting their phone number. 

·         Absences must be called in as soon as possible so that SAHS will be able to reserve a sub ASAP.  Absences may be entered up to one month ahead of time.

·         In addition to calling the sub system, please call school at 621-2565 and notify Mrs. Holland of your absence.  She arrives at 6:30.  OR leave Mrs. Grayson a message at 621-2588.

·         If you report your absence a day ahead of time, listen carefully to the recording to insure you record it on the appropriate day.  If you record online, please check carefully.

·         Approval from Mr. Westbrook and the Director of Secondary Education must be granted two weeks before missing for professional leave or a field trip.  Teachers are allowed two professional days per year.  If it has been approved, notify Mrs. Grayson, make certain your name is in the substitute book, and we will call the absence in for you as “professional leave” or “field trip”.

·         Personal days (2 per year) must be requested in writing, a day in advance, and turned in to Mr. Westbrook.  An e-mail is acceptable.

·         In order to keep classes covered, if you have to leave school for more than your conference block (with principal approval), you must call in a half-day absence.

·         Keep a substitute folder in your classroom with class rosters, duty day and post, hard copies of attendance slips, and anything else you want your sub to be aware of.

·         Lesson plans for the day must be made accessible to the substitute. 

·         Emergency lesson plans must be turned in to Mrs. Grayson the first week of school.  These plans will be kept on file in the student office.  They should cover three days of class in the event of an emergency.

 

 

• Check with your organization to determine their willingness to participate in the proposed activity.
• Select a date with them that you would like to reserve for the activity.  Select alternate dates in case this is not available.
• Check the school calendar and the Commons calendar (on-line) with Jennifer Jordan to reserve the commons area or Jamie Lanoux to reserve the gym(s).
• If the date is clear, Jennifer or Jamie will e-mail Mr. Westbrook and notify you when your activity is approved.

• Make sure you ask Mrs. Edwards to have the air conditioner left on for after-school hours.

 

 

• Because school buses are in constant use, it is imperative that you schedule them as far in advance as you possibly can.
• You should know the number of persons, how far you will travel, who will be driving, and the exact date(s) of use.
• Schedule through Mrs. Walker who will be in charge of busses.  If applicable, make your arrangements to return keys at the time you pick them up.
• Fees are approximately $10 per hour plus $.75 per mile.  They must be paid immediately after return.
• School vehicles must be cleaned and filled with gas upon return.

 

 

SCHEDULING FUND-RAISERS

 

• Each club/organization may have a maximum of two fundraisers per year.
• For any fund-raiser to occur, permission must be obtained from the School Board Office two weeks in advance.  Fill out a “Fundraiser Request” form, and give it to Mrs. Grayson.  She must fax it to Cathy Meredith two weeks before.

 

REQUESTS FOR PURCHASE ORDERS

 

·         A Purchase Request is required for all purchases that are to be paid from the school account and must be obtained before making purchases.  This includes fund-raisers.

·         Purchase requests are to be submitted for the principal’s approval two days in advance.  See J. Holland/J. Lanoux for forms.  Turn into Holland/Lanoux to get approved. 

·         Once a P.O. has been used, that number cannot be used again.  A new P.O. is needed for additional purchases.

·         Students are not allowed to make purchases charged to the school, nor will the school reimburse purchases made by students.

·         In order to receive a P.O. you must have sufficient funds in your account to cover purchases.

·         Invoices are to be paid within three days after the purchase, and the P.O. number must be on all invoices.

·         If a P.O. is not used, return it to the office.

·         Anything charged to the school or purchased without approval becomes the responsibility of the person making the purchase.

·         Teacher credit cards may be used after the budget is finalized in early September.

 

PURCHASING PROCEDURE

 

• P.O. must be obtained for ALL purchases.
• Quotes (three by phone) MUST be obtained for any items totaling $100 or more.  EX:  25 shirts @ $10 each = $250.  MUST have three phone quotes attached to P.O.   PLEASE OBTAIN QUOTES BEFORE YOU GET THE P.O.
• NEW:  Quotes for any items totaling $1000 or more:  You must have three written quotes on company letterhead..  EX:  250 shirts @ $10 each = $2500.  MUST have 3 written quotes on company letterhead attached to P.O.  PLEASE OBTAIN QUOTES BEFORE YOU GET THE P.O.  Contact Mr. Westbrook or Mrs. Boudreaux before taking action.
• When a check is given to a teacher for expenses, all receipts and remaining money to cover the check amount must be returned to the office.
• The school cannot pay sales tax.  Ask for a tax-exempt form if this problem arises.

 

REQUESTS FOR CHECKS

 

• Be sure you have funds available in your account.
• Transaction forms are with W. Boudreaux or J. Lanoux.  Form must be submitted one day in advance.
• The invoice must be attached to the check request.
• Blank checks will not be written.
• Keep all copies of check requests to balance your account.

 

MAKING DEPOSITS TO ACCOUNTS

 

• No teacher is to keep money in his/her room overnight.
• All money should be turned in DAILY before 2:00 to J. Holland.
• See J. Holland for deposit slips.   Write the Club name on the bottom.
• Count money in advance so you know how much you have. 
• Plan to stay with Mrs. Holland while she counts money in your presence.
• After Mrs. Holland counts the money, you will receive a copy of your deposit slip.
• Keep all deposit slips to insure correct crediting of your account.

 

 

• At the beginning of first block each day, teachers will record all absences in their green class roll book and  e-attendance. 
• If a student is late for FIRST BLOCK class, he/she should not be allowed in your class until he/she gets a tardy slip from the office.  MARK THEM ABSENT.  DO NOT MARK THEM TARDY FOR 1^ST BLOCK.  Mrs. Pickering will change the absence to tardy using the check-in (tardy) list that the student signs.
• Students tardy for 2^nd – 4^th hours should be marked tardy in e-attendance.  If you have marked them absent, you should change it to “T”.  If a student arrives to your class late and has an excuse (from a counselor, a principal, etc.), either change the absence to present or notify Mrs. Pickering so she can change it.  If you make a change after you’ve submitted your attendance, please RESUBMIT.
• Mrs. Pickering will print a list of tardies and cuts and send them to Mr. Favorite at the end of the day.  He will send the appropriate papers to students in the classroom.  He will also send for the students who have accumulated four or more tardies to be assigned Behavior Clinic or suspended.
• E (excused), H (homebound), F (field trip), I (in-school suspension), or O (out-of-school suspension) are coded early in the morning by Mrs. Pickering and should not be changed.  Students with these codes are accounted for but will not be present in your class.  You will not mark anything for this student.  If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Pickering at 621-2596 or e-mail her with your questions.   
• The green class record book must be kept all year for all classes.  Only attendance should be recorded in this book.  In order to be prepared for an attendance audit, the following guidelines are to be used:              

              a.   The following should be clearly recorded in the green class record book: name of teacher, 

                    subject and period, school year, month and date, and student's first and last name.

              b.   To record attendance, use "A" for absent, check or dot for “present”, and "T" for tardy.

              c.   If a student drops, use "D". Students transferring to another class should be indicated 

                    using "TR" .

              d.   Holidays or any days students are not required to attend should be clearly indicated.        

                    Also if for any reason attendance is not taken in a class period, an explanation should be 

                    recorded (ex: school assembly).

             e.   Students who have transferred or dropped should never be deleted.  You may draw a single line through the name so that the name is still readable.  Do not use white-out.

 

 

• State law dictates that a student may not be absent more than NINE days in a semester for a full-credit course, or FIVE or more days for a half-credit course to receive credit for that class.
• Teachers are responsible for calling the parents of the first block students when a student has accumulated three unexcused absences in that class.  Documentation of these phone calls will be in two places:  the “Documentation of First Block Phone Call” sheet and on an “Attendance Referral” sheet.  You must actually make a CONTACT with a parent or guardian.  A message will not suffice.  The “Documentation of First Block Phone Call” sheet will have the information on every contact you make during the session.  Please keep it in the front of your roll book.  Administrators should view it when you are observed.
• Mrs. Legendre will print “Attendance Referrals” for every student in your first block class.  Fill in the contact information and send these to Cindy Pickering in Attendance immediately.  She will forward these to the central office.  Please be aware that in case of litigation all attendance records may be used as documentation in court.

 

 

Accuracy is extremely important.  Specific instructions will be forthcoming from Mrs. Legendre.

 

• First Block ENROLLMENT

For the first five days of school, and one additional designated day, the administrative office will require an enrollment figure, which must be reported to the Central Office.  This number refers to first hour only, and is not an attendance figure.  Once a student attends one day, he/she is enrolled, and must be counted on subsequent days.  Therefore, this is an increasing number and only decreases if a student drops or changes a class.

• October 1 ENROLLMENT

By October 1, all students should have been dropped who did not return to school.  State reimbursement is dependent on the accuracy of our October 1 count, which includes all students enrolled and attending as of October 1.  A test run will occur on September 30, and no adds, drops or other student transactions will be allowed to happen on October 1.

**  Any student who has attended even one day is not a DID NOT RETURN. Remember that all attendance records are to be kept in the green class record book that was provided. (Do not record grades in this book.)

 

 

• When a student is absent due to illness a parent must call the attendance office before school for a student to receive an excuse to make up work. It is the student's responsibility to see Mrs. Pickering for the note, show it to his/her teachers, and arrange to make up the work within 3 days of return.

 

 

• You will be notified each day of students in ISSP through your e-mail. Please check. Prepare the assignment and place in Mr. Favorite’s mailbox or, if possible, you may e-mail it to him. Please make every effort to get these assignments to Mr. Favorite before first hour. His students arrive between 7:00 and 7:15 and will have no work to do without these assignments from you.

 

 

 

• The parish requires all students and employees to wear I.D. badges at all times.  Students may purchase a new ID in the library for $5.00 or buy a temporary ID for $1.00 before school and at lunch.  Violation by students will result in a behavior clinic. 

 

 

• Our students are assigned to the counselors as follows: 
  • Jamie Kramer:          Freshmen
  • Deenie Couvillion:      A-K
  • Dareth Auzenne:        L-Z
  • Ava Lancaster           Testing Coordinator

 

 

• The ultimate responsibility for student conduct rests with the student and his parents.  It is the daily responsibility of school personnel to assure that no single person interferes with the learning environment of other students

 

• As prescribed by law, every teacher is authorized to hold every pupil to a strict accountability for any disorderly conduct in school, on the campus, or school bus going to and from school, and during recesses (R.S. 17:46). It is the first responsibility of the Principal to maintain discipline at each school or any school function.

 

• Disciplinary action will include, but not be limited to one of the following: counsel/warn a student, time-out (one or more periods), administer enrichment work, contact parents/guardian, after-school behavior clinic, Saturday detention, in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension, and expulsion.

 

• For a complete list of disciplinary offenses and procedures, please refer to the Student Rights & Responsibilities Discipline Policy Handbook for Ascension Parish and the SAHS Student Agenda.

 

• It is mandatory that students be recommended for expulsion for the following: drugs, hazing, weapons.

 

.

 

 

1.       Be firm, fair, and as consistent as possible.

2.       Never threaten an entire class for the misbehavior of a few.

3.       Never argue with a student. Assert your point clearly and with authority and expect the student to respond appropriately.  If he/she does not, follow through with a proper consequence.

4.       Assign enrichment work as a last resort.  It should be reasonable.  If the student does not have the enrichment work by the next day, send them to the office with a referral.  Do not double and triple it.

5.       Although a student's academic success will be a reflection of his classroom conduct and attitude, it is important to remember that a teacher may not penalize a student academically through conduct grades.

6.       Begin class with the tardy bell, or as soon as your students have arrived.

7.       Please see an administrator about habitually tardy students.

8.       Start the year strict. You can become easier as the year progresses.

9.       Reinforce positive behavior and success as much as you can.

10.   There is to be no corporal punishment.

11.   It is advantageous to engage students in an activity while you are checking roll and doing other administrative tasks at the beginning of a period.

12.   EXPECT good conduct and academic success from your students. Try to help them build a little self-esteem.

13.   Frustrated students and chronic failures often become behavior problems.  Plan for activities in which ALL students can achieve success from time to time.

14.   Be an ENTHUSIASTIC teacher!

15.   Of course, an unexpected, severe offense calls for administrative intervention immediately.

16.   Try not to over-react to a situation.  Young people can be expected to behave rashly and emotionally.

17.   Teach to the end of a period. Over prepare!  DO NOT STOP CLASS EARLY AND WAIT FOR THE BELL TO RING. DO NOT LET STUDENTS WAIT AT THE DOOR FOR THE BELL.

18.   Any time a student is sent to the office for discipline, he/she must have a referral form.  You may choose to send the referral after the student has left your room.  If necessary, use the call button to notify the office that a student is on his/her way.  Mrs. Holland will take their referral and enter the time of their arrival to the office in a book.  You should get a copy of the referral with consequences in your mailbox in a timely manner.

19.   Sleeping in class:  Write a behavior referral with “sleeping” on it and send the student with the referral to Larry Favorite.  He will record that the student was sent for sleeping, keep the student for the remainder of class, and put the pink copy of the referral in your mailbox.  He will also contact a parent about the sleeping and warn them that the next time the student is sent to him for sleeping the student will get a Sat. det.  The second time sleeping will also result in a Sat. det.

20.   Dress code referrals go directly to Coach Favorite.  ID referrals go directly to Mrs. Jerry Holland.

21.   Plan on contacting parents before or on the date of the first referral.

22.   As there seems to be a need, teachers who have problems with behavior management will be asked to work with an Assistant Principal and submit a written discipline plan.  The implementation of this plan will be monitored by an Assistant Principal.

 

 

·         2^nd-4^th hour class tardies should be entered in e-attendance with a “T”.

·         ** Note: First hour tardies are not recorded this way. These are recorded when they are sent to the office for being late to first hour.

·         See Attendance Procedures section for more details.

 

 

·         Check the duty roster to see when you have been assigned duty.  Teachers have lunch duty once a week and morning duty every other week.  The teacher bulletin will have “A” or “B” week to indicate which lunch shift has morning duty that week.  IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU ARE PROMPT.

 

 

·         Students are expected to stay in areas designated for students and to refrain from areas that are obviously OFF-LIMITS to students.

 

 

 

Special Education:  “IT’S THE LAW”

 

*If you teach a special education student you will receive a copy of the student’s modifications from student’s IEP teacher during the 1^st week of each semester.  These modifications are to be carried out by the regular education teacher. If you cannot provide the modifications to the student, you may send them to one of the Tutorial classrooms. (These modifications will be sent to you on Yellow Paper.)

 

*If you are having problems with a certain student, please contact the student’s IEP teacher directly.

*Every three weeks, Special Education Monitoring Forms will be sent to you (email or mailbox).  Regular Education teachers shall fill these forms out and return them as soon as possible.

You have a Voice…Teachers are a very important part of an IEP committee.  Your input is crucial when determining certain modifications.  Please try to attend IEP meetings. If you are unable to attend, please forward any information that may be helpful.

 

SPEECH THERAPY

Mia Smith - Room 307

 

*A student qualifies for speech language services when there is an impairment in articulation, voice, fluency or receptive and/or expressive language that significantly interferes with their educational performance.

*Students who receive speech/language services are scheduled at specified times of the week to meet with his/her Speech Therapist.  Students are usually scheduled to go to speech during one of their electives.

 

*Based on their modifications, speech/language students are allowed to leave the classroom for resource services.  

Please check each student’s Modifications before sending him/her to a Special Education Room.

 

SCHOOL BUILDING LEVEL COMMITTEE (SBLC) 

 

Students are referred to the SBLC for two reasons:

1.         Academic - If a teacher, parent, guidance counselor, etc. feels that a student is having academic difficulties.

2.         Discipline - Students are also referred as a result of multiple suspensions. This is done by the principals.

If you have questions or concerns about SBLC or if you would like to refer a student, contact:  Jennifer Jordon (Room 226).

 

Once a child has completed the SBLC screening process they will either:

·         Continue on their present regular education program

·         Receive a 504 Accommodation Plan

·         Be referred for further testing to possibly qualify for special education.

 

DID YOU KNOW…Special Education & 504 are not the same thing!

·         Students classified as 504 receive modifications in the regular education classroom; they do not get assistance from special education teachers. 

·         These students are not allowed to leave the regular education classroom to receive services.

·         504 modifications will be sent out on white paper, whereas special education modifications will be sent on yellow paper

If you have questions or concerns regarding 504, contact Kandis Gonzales (Room 223).

 

Mrs. Jodie Signorelli is our SYSOP. Any computer problems should be referred to her.

 

 

·         Teachers will enter all their grades on E-Class. See Renee Legendre for assistance.

·         The following is the grading scale used to assign grades:

 

100-93	A
92-86	B
85-75	C
74-67	D
66-0	F

 

 

 

 

 

                                                    

·         Percentages are used to assign grades for the nine-weeks term.   E-class will automatically compute the final percentage for student performance.  Each teacher should establish 8 categories weighted at 10% and one category (Final Exam) weighted at 20% when setting up E-class.  By Parish Policy, no category can be weighted more than 10% except for the Final Exam.  See Renee Legendre for any assistance you may need when setting up E-class.

·         The session average is found by averaging the two term grades. A student must have at least a 1.0 to receive a "D" (.5 would not round up to a 1.0.  Generally, round up for .5, i.e. 1.5=C). 

·         To pass for the year, a student must pass the second term in the session and have at least a 1.0 average.

 

 

The courtesy fund is a private fund of school personnel.  Gifts and flowers for teachers can come only from this account.  A donation of $15.00 is requested.  We are searching for a volunteer to head this.
