I. Philosophy
and Goals
A Message from
the Administration
Education is a
lifelong process filled with intrigue and challenge. It is a process
essential for everyone, yet different for each one of us. The formal
setting of school contributes to your education. In addition, the
activities, scholastic and social, are designed to assist you to become
a participating and productive member of today's challenging world.
The
Waterford-Halfmoon School Parent/ Student Handbook is developed to
provide you with an overview of the school community. This includes
academic and co-curricular activities as well as procedural guidelines
necessary for you to achieve your educational goals.
Your educational
program at Waterford - Halfmoon will be developed by your teachers, your
parents, you and your Guidance Counselor. A curriculum of over 70
courses exists as well as an active co-curricular program allowing you
to select experiences which are suited to your interests, abilities and
future goals.
Your success in
Waterford-Halfmoon will be primarily determined by the effort and energy
that you expend on your educational program. You are strongly
encouraged to be an active participant in your school and the activities
offered you. Through your active participation you will reach your
fullest potential.
Welcome to the
challenges of education and self-development. May your year be
exciting, rewarding and productive.
PHILOSOPHY
STATEMENT
In preparing
individuals to develop their fullest potential for living in the society
of today and tomorrow, the Board of Education and the staff of the
School District:
I. Recognize
their responsibility to help meet the physical, intellectual and
emotional needs of children; particularly the needs to inquire, learn,
think, and create; to establish aesthetic, moral and ethical values; and
to relate satisfactorily to others in social situations involving
family, work, government and recreation.
II. Accept
primary responsibility for giving students a mastery of the basic skills
of learning, thinking and problem-solving; for teaching them to use the
various media of self-expression; for instilling in them a knowledge of
the social and natural sciences; for acquainting them with the richness
of our heritage; and for stimulating them to productive work in the
various areas of human endeavor.
III. Acknowledge
the importance of their supplemental role to the home and other social
agencies in developing habits and attitudes which make for effective
personal living, the maintenance of optimum physical and mental health,
and the establishment of sound moral, ethical, and aesthetic values.
Realizing that
education, as here defined, is a lifelong process, the school system
seeks to orient its graduates toward various types of post-secondary
education and further formal training and study of many types; and to
provide educational opportunities particularly suited to the needs of
adults, both as individuals and as citizens in a democracy.
II. Traditions
The Alma Mater
The
guiding spirit of our youth
Our
Alma Mater dear,
You
lead us ever onward
To
knowledge and to truth.
Your
praises now we loudly sing
As we
pledge ourselves so true
By
lives of worth and high endeavor
Honor
e'er to you.
Our
emblem of strength and youth, your colors, red
and
white, will stand before us ever a symbol of
your
truth. We sing to you with pride sincere and
promise e'er to try to prove our love for you, our
own
Dear Waterford-Halfmoon High.
Special Events
The following are
special events that we hold throughout the year: Fordian Fever
Weekend/Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins Dance, Junior/Senior Prom and Moving
Up Day.
III. Academic
Program
Academic
Program
The development
of a student's educational program at Waterford-Halfmoon is developed
and guided by the Senior High Guidance Counselor, the student and his or
her parents or guardian. Each program is developed individually and is
based upon:
-
past and present academic performance
-
the student's self-awareness as a result of standardized test
information
-
the need for a future career path
The Guidance
staff has prepared a "Student Program Guide" designed to assist students
with educational and occupational plans during and beyond high school.
Its purpose is to point out facts which must be considered in setting
realistic goals and to enable students to avoid delay and error caused
by rumor, mis-information and confusion. The Guidance Office is also
equipped with reference sources that will supply information aiding the
student's plans for his/her future.
Parents and
students are urged to have frequent contact with the Guidance Office for
any concerns or questions regarding the student's programs or progress
during the year. A student may see their Guidance Counselor by making
an appointment with the Guidance Secretary.
Assemblies
Student
assemblies are seen as part of the overall educational process.
Students are
reminded of proper conduct at assemblies to ensure responsible audience
participation:
* Take an
assigned seat quietly
* Do not speak
above a whisper, and then only when necessary
* Pay attention
to the speaker/performer(s)
* Applaud only
when appropriate
Awards and
Honors
A series of
awards, honoring students for special achievements, are presented at
graduation, the Student Achievement Reception, or the Athletic Banquet.
During graduation, approximately fifty awards and scholarships are
presented in the areas of outstanding academic achievement, outstanding
contributions to various extra curricular activities, attendance and
service to the school and community. The Valedictorian and Salutatorian
are honored at graduation. Students receive this honor based on their
cumulative average for fifteen quarters of high school
attendance.
The Student
Academic Achievement Reception provides the faculty, by department, with
the opportunity to honor students who have demonstrated outstanding
academic success or extraordinary effort. The Sports Banquet, held in
June, is sponsored by the Waterford Sports Booster Club and culminates
the year's athletic program.
Approximately 100
students are recognized and awarded numerous trophies and certificates
at the annual Sports Banquet.
2
Honors Dinner
During the spring
of 2000 the School Board initiated a special dinner to honor students in
grades 9-12 who have achieved academic excellence. The top ten students
in each of the four high school classes will be invited to attend a
dinner in their honor. They will be the guests of the Board of
Education. Their parents will be paying guests for this awards dinner.
The dinner will be held in the spring.
Class Rank
Class rank is
determined by calculating a cumulative average based on the final course
grade each year of a credit-bearing course, through the third quarter of
the last year the student is enrolled. Summer school final course
grades, if higher, will replace the final course grade originally
earned.
After the third
quarter of the last year enrolled, the following procedures are used to
determine points earned in the last year of enrollment:
A. Full year
course in progress: average of the three marking period grades
multiplied by .75.
B. Half year
course completed: final grade multiplied by.50.
C. Half year
course in progress: third quarter grade multiplied by .25.
D. Physical
education grade: average of the three quarter grades multiplied by
.375.
E. Vocational
education grade: average of the three marking periods, multiplied by the
credits assigned, then multiplied by .75.
Alphabetic
transfer grade:
A =
95 D = 65
B =
85 F = no credit
C = 75
The total points
earned in the last year of enrollment, plus the points earned up through
the third year are added together and divided by the units assigned.
This number is used to determine the final high school average and class
rank.
Communication
with Parents
As a means of
informing parents of a student's progress in school, six reporting
systems are used:
1. Report
cards are mailed at the close of the four marking periods, after
marks have been calculated and recorded. The report card states three
areas of evaluation: achievement, effort and conduct, for each course
taken. Parents will be informed at least 4 times a year of their
child(ren)’s progress.
2. Interim
report of a student’s progress will be mailed home at the conclusion
of the five week period. These reports are designed to apprise parents
of their child’s progress or lack of progress. Teachers send interim
reports as they see a need. Other special reports of unsatisfactory
work, failure, or improvement are mailed or phoned to the
parent/guardian as early as possible to keep them informed.
3. Class
Attendance will be reported on all interim reports and report cards.
4.
Disciplinary Referrals are written by a staff member to bring to the
attention of the administration and parents, acts of misconduct or
unsatisfactory performance. These referrals are acted upon by the
administration after consultation with the student and teacher. One
copy is mailed home, another is placed in the student's conduct folder,
and the remaining copies are kept by the teacher, the counseling center
and the CSE office if necessary.
5. Bus Conduct
Reports are used by the bus drivers to report unsatisfactory conduct
to the administration. After consultation with the student, the matter
is acted upon and a copy sent to the parents and one placed in the
students conduct folder.
6. Phone
Calls home are placed by both teachers and principal to alert
parents of academic or social issues that may impede student
performance. It should be noted that all phone calls both incoming and
outgoing are recorded for safety reasons.
3
Competency
Tests
New York State
Education Department has phased out Regents Competency Tests (RCT).
These tests had served as a minimum performance standard for students to
qualify for a high school diploma. Upper classmen and some students
supervised by the Committee on Special Education may still be eligible
for these exams. Check with your guidance counselor if you are unsure
about what tests you must pass for graduation.
Course
Offerings and the School Day
A variety of
courses are offered for students at all academic levels. Students
should contact their Guidance Counselor for the complete list of the
over 70 courses offered at Waterford-Halfmoon and the many vocational
courses offered at the Vocational Center in Saratoga.
Course
Requirements
Successful
completion of a course is usually based upon earning a final grade of
65% or better. However, in certain courses, specific course
requirements, which are approved by the Principal, may also be required
for the successful completion of a course.
Failure to
complete these requirements will result in the student not being allowed
to sit for the final examination.
Final
Examination Exemptions
The option exists
for a student to be exempt from a final examination in courses where
Non-State required examinations are offered. This option exists for
students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement throughout the
year and in courses where exemptions are approved by the teacher.
The following
apply to exemption:
1. The cumulative
average is at least 90% or better for the course.
2. The teacher
approves of the exemption for that student.
3. The exemption
will be consistently applied in all sections of a course.
4. The final
examination is a comprehensive examination.
5. The criteria
for granting or not permitting exemptions in each class must be
clarified
during the first week of classes.
6. Notification
for the exempt status will take place no later than 3 days prior to
the beginning
of final June examinations.
Full Student
Status
Students will be
required to maintain full student status during high school. Full
student status is defined as maintaining a course load of six classes
plus physical education per semester. A student can maintain full
student status with an approved early release for work or educational
study, providing this option continues for the entire year the early
release is in effect. This must have approval by the principal.
Students whose early release is terminated during the first semester
must enroll in an elective course during the second semester. Students
whose courses include courses at the Vo-tech Center are required to
carry a full load of
classes.
Grading System
Grades are used
to indicate achievement and development in each class or subject area in
which a student is enrolled. The course grade is derived by averaging
all test grades, laboratory work, homework, class participation,
projects or other items which show how well the student has achieved or
learned. Achievement marks are numerical. A passing grade in a subject
is 65% or better. During the first marking period of all courses a
student's course grade cannot be reported on the report card below a
50%, even if the student's actual grade is lower. This provides the
student the opportunity to still pass in spite of the student's actual
low grade.
4
All teachers are
expected to give daily grades on effort and participation to each
student. These grades are averaged in with the quarterly grades. For
the final course grade, the quarter grades equal 80% and final exams
equals 20%. If a course has no formal final examination, the final mark
is based on the average of the quarters.
In the case of a
mark of I (incomplete), no credit will be granted for any course unless
all work is completed. If a student ends a course with any mark of I,
he/she cannot earn credit for the course. No partial credit may be
earned in a full year course.
Grades of
Incomplete
In the event a
student has been unable to complete course requirements during a marking
period, the grade of Incomplete (I) may be assigned on the report card
after the teacher has consulted with the principal. The grade of
Incomplete is assigned by a teacher; if for example, a student has been
ill and unable to complete the assignments for the marking period.
The purpose of
the Incomplete grade is to provide the student who has been faced with
legitimate circumstances beyond his control with a brief extension
during which time course requirements may be completed. The student
must complete all assignments before the 5th week of the next marking
period.
In unusual
circumstances, for example long term illness beyond five weeks,
additional time may be allowed for the completion of assignments. Work
not completed during the extended time should be assigned a zero and
averaged for that quarter's grade. The quarterly grade of Incomplete
would then be replaced with the newly calculated quarterly average.
Grades of
incomplete may only be granted during the first three quarters. The
principal may grant an incomplete at the end of the fourth quarter for
exceptional situations.
Course Credit
To receive course
credit a student must successfully complete a course with a final course
mark of 65% or better. Students completing a Regents course will
receive course credit if they pass the Regents examination and the
course with a grade of 65% or better as determined by averaging the four
quarters of the course and the Regents examination.
Graduation
Requirements
Students must
meet minimum graduation requirements as outlined by the New York State
Education Department and adopted by our Board of Education to qualify
for a high school diploma.
The commonly used
term “new standards” refers to the philosophy that all students will be
presented with the best education that New York has to offer, a college
preparatory program, also referred to as Regents. Testing and course
requirements have changed to reflect this belief. In order to qualify
for a high school diploma, all students must take classes as outlined
below and pass a minimum of five Regents examinations. Local
high school credit is awarded when a student receives between a 55-64%
on a Regents exam. For Regents credit a 65% or above must be achieved.
Students entering 9th grade prior to September 2005 must pass
the five Regents exams with a 55% to receive a high school diploma. In
order to get a Regents diploma a 65% must be earned on all five Regents
exams.
For an Advanced
Regents diploma a 65% must be earned on the five exams as well as one
more science exam, the Math B exam and a Language Other Than English
Regents exam.
Students who
enter 9th Grade in 2005 must pass a minimum of two Regents
exams with a 65% or better for a local high school diploma. Students
entering 9th grade in 2006 must pass a minimum of three
Regents exams with 65% or better. Those entering grade 9 in 2007 must
pass a minimum of four Regents exams with 65% or better. The above
requirements for Regents and Advanced Regents diplomas are the same for
these students.

Physical
Education Program
Education law
mandates physical education for all pupils in the schools of New York
State. The regulations specify that in order to secure a diploma of any
type, a pupil must satisfactorily complete the physical education
requirements.
All students are
urged to participate in some form of interscholastic or extracurricular
activities, which are an extension of the physical education program.
Physical
education requirements for graduation and grading are as follows:
1. 1/2 unit of
credit will be given for the successful completion of each year of
physical education.
2. Four years of
successful completion of physical education are required for graduation
and will earn two units of credit.
3. Absences will
result in the enforcement of the procedures of the school's Attendance
Policies.
4. Students may
double-up in physical education only to ensure graduation with their
class.
5. A numerical
grade will be given at the end of each quarter.
6. The grade
will be included in computing averages.
7. Students are
to wear appropriate physical education attire and sneakers. This dress
requirement is part of the P.E. grade. For safety purposes, all jewelry
must be removed before participating in physical education class
including necklaces, bracelets, earrings or other decorative items which
may interfere with activities of become a health or safety hazard.
Students wearing earring posts that are taped over front and back or
students that can not remove piercing due to initial installation who
have purchased approved shunts may participate in class.
8. Students must
make up all missed physical education classes by physical participation
or comparable reading and writing assignments. Absences should be made
up to avoid an effect on the student's grade.
9. It is the
student's responsibility to arrange make-up classes with the teacher
whose classes are missed. Such arrangements are to be made with the
teacher in advance of the make-up classes.
10. All make-up
classes will be scheduled at the discretion of the teacher. Factors
include class size, the age of the student, physical education
facilities, teacher availability, and class activities at the time of
the make-up may limit make-up opportunities.
Guidance
Services
The guidance and
counseling programs function to (1) assist all pupils in assessing and
understanding their abilities, aptitudes, interests, and educational
needs; (2) increase their understanding of educational and career
opportunities and requirements; (3) help them set and reach realistic
goals; (4) help them attain personal growth and social adjustment; and
(5) provide information useful to school staff members, parents, and
community in planning and evaluating the school's program.
6
Coordination with
other pupil personnel services and appropriate community organizations
is of prime importance. School counselors function in these essential
activities of the guidance program:
1. Collecting,
organizing, and interpreting information appropriate to an understanding
of the pupils' abilities, aptitudes, interests, and other personal
characteristics related to education-career planning and progress and
satisfactory personal-social adjustments.
2. Making
available to pupils, parents and teachers information useful to them in
understanding educational and career opportunities and requirements, and
personal social relationships related to the choice of and progress in
an educational program or an occupational field.
3. Providing
individual counseling to: (a) help the pupil and parent develop a better
understanding of the pupil's personal characteristics and
potentialities, (b) help the pupil, with parent assistance, make
educational and career plans in the light of understanding of self in
relation to opportunities and requirements, (c) stimulate and assist the
pupil in carrying out appropriate plans for education and career, and
(d) discuss appropriate sources of assistance.
4. Providing
group guidance activities to: (a) orient pupils to educational
opportunities and procedures at various grade levels, (b) inform them
about occupational and military service opportunities and requirements,
(c) assist them in making normal personal adjustments and social
contacts, and (d) help them make transitions from one school level to
another or to out-of-school activities.
5. Providing
placement services for individual pupils to assist them in (a) making
appropriate transitions from one school level to another, one school to
another, or school to employment; and (b) obtaining financial aid to
continue their educational development, such as scholarships and loans.
6. Providing
administrators and teachers with information about individual pupils or
pupil groups that is useful in planning and in providing school programs
to facilitate the full development of pupil potential.
7. Collecting,
analyzing and interpreting information needed to evaluate the guidance
and counseling program; providing guidance information which may be used
in evaluating the school's program in terms of its ability to develop
human potential.
High School
Credit for College Courses
All students who
have successfully fulfilled the requirements to enter into their senior
year and have demonstrated intellectual and social maturity may choose
to matriculate at any one of the colleges that have a cooperative
agreement with our school district. Such opportunities may include
early admission to college, collegiate-level work offered in the high
school, or other means of providing advanced work. Review and approval
by the administration are necessary before any college courses may be
taken during the school day.
Students who
desire and are eligible for accelerated programs are encouraged to see
their Guidance Counselor. In order to be eligible for early completion
of graduation requirements the following must be
completed:
1. The student
must initiate a request for such programs with his/her Guidance
Counselor prior to the beginning of the second semester of the junior
year.
2. The guidance
staff will consider the request to determine student suitability for
such a program based on the following criteria:
a. completion of all requirements with the exception of twelfth grade
English and Social Studies
b. college courses selected in the areas of English and Social
Sciences must approximate the course content of our
twelfth grade
required courses in English and Social Studies.
7
3. Prior to the
final approval of the Principal, a meeting of the Guidance staff and
the Principal must be held to discuss student suitability for the
college performance, level of maturity and probability of success.
4. After the
Principal's approval of the student's application has been given, it
will be the responsibility of the Guidance staff to contact the parents
of the student for a final determination of the matter.
The parents will
assume the responsibility for all follow-up concerning college course
selection and student progress.
Home
Instruction
Home instruction
is a service provided to students who are unable to attend school due to
medical, emotional or disciplinary problems. Secondary students receive
instruction for two hours per day. Students receive credit for their
work while on homebound instruction.
The parent must
notify the Principal or Guidance Counselor if a student will be on an
extended absence and will require an itinerant teacher. If the
inability to attend is due to a medical or emotional reason, the parent
should obtain from the child's physician a written medical request for
home instruction including the beginning and end dates.
Home Tutoring
Parents may
request to hire a home tutor for their children at any time. Home
tutoring costs are the responsibility of the parents. Guidance
counselors and subject teachers will usually have suggestions regarding
educational professionals or other successful students who may be
interested in home tutoring your child. Sometimes a fellow student from
the National Honor Society is available at no cost.
Homework
Policy
The faculty and
administration agree that homework is an important aspect of a sound
education. Students should expect to receive homework on a regular
basis as assigned by the teacher. Students are expected to promptly
submit homework, which will be evaluated and included as a portion of a
student's grade. Parents are encouraged to review homework assignments
with their child. Faculty members will explain the homework policy to
students at the beginning of each course.
Homeroom
Placement and Grade Status
Homeroom
placement or grade status is determined by specific subjects completed
and units earned, Class status is determined as follows: Sophomore, 5
units; Junior, 10 units; Senior, 15 units exclusive of Physical
Education. Class status is determined at the beginning of each school
year.
Honor Roll and
Merit Roll
An honor
recognition system is designed to recognize the outstanding scholastic
achievements of the student body. It is divided into two forms of
recognition - an Honor Roll and a Merit Roll.
To be eligible
for either, a student must be a full-time student. The student's
cumulative average for the quarter is used to determine academic rank.
Honor Roll status
is awarded to students who achieve an average of at least 90% and do not
receive a failing grade or incomplete. Merit Roll status is awarded for
an average of 85-89% and no failing grades or incompletes.
8
National Honor
Society
The highest
academic honor to be realized in the Waterford-Halfmoon High School is
membership in the M. Marian Ranney Chapter of the National Honor Society
(NHS). Membership is based on scholarship, service, leadership and
character. Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors who have maintained an
over-all scholastic average of 88.0% or better (without rounding) are
eligible for membership. Academically eligible students are required to
complete a student activity form application and submit it to the
National Honor Society advisor(s) in order to be considered for
membership
Scholastically
eligible students who apply for membership are voted on by the five
members of the Faculty Council. The Honor Society Faculty Council
reviews the student activity forms and teacher recommendations and votes
to determine who shall be admitted to the Society on the basis of
Service, Leadership and Character. A majority vote of the Faculty
Council is needed to be tapped for membership. Members of the Society
are then inducted at the Academic Achievement Ceremony in September.
Society members
are required to perform 10 hours of community service for each semester
of the school year. This equals a total of at least 20 hours for the
entire academic year. If at any time, a member does not fulfill their
obligation and commitment to the Honor Society, they will be placed on
probation by the faculty advisor(s) and face possible discipline and
dismissal by the Faculty Council.
Students are only
allowed one probationary period during their time in Honor Society.
Students who are on probation are not allowed to receive any benefits of
membership in the Society. This includes, but is not limited to,
participation in NHS field trips and the wearing of the NHS regalia at
the commencement ceremony for Seniors. Once a member is dismissed from
Honor Society, they are never again eligible for NHS membership or the
benefits of membership, including Honor Society scholarships.
For more detailed
information on the selection process and/or rules and obligations of the
M. Marion Ranney Chapter of the National Honor Society, please see the
Constitution and By-Laws that is on file in the Guidance Office.
Library
The library
facilities and services are maintained for certain uses. Appropriate
activities include quiet study, reading, research, and purposeful
browsing.
Students wishing
to use the library facilities during an approved period must have a pass
and sign in at the circulation desk. Students must stay in the library
until the period ends unless their pass specifies that they are to
return, and then they must leave by the ten minute bell.
Book bags are not
permitted in the library. All book bags should be left in the locker.
Borrowing a
book
Books may be
borrowed for 4 weeks. A book may be renewed if the book is not in
demand. A student may not renew a book which is overdue.
Books lost or
damaged must be paid for. Students are not to expect overdue notices
before returning books. The date on the due date slip shall be deemed
sufficient evidence that the book is overdue.
Periodicals,
pamphlets and picture material are subject to the same regulations as
books. Dictionaries and encyclopedias are used f |
