ABINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT GUIDE TO USEFUL INFORMATION ATTENDANCE When an elementary student is absent from school, parents/guardians must call the child check number or elementary school office listed in the directory at the end of this section between the hours of 4:00 p.m. the day before and 9:00 a.m. each day the student is absent. Parents/Guardians of junior and senior high school students are asked to call the appropriate Attendance Office on the morning of their student s absence. If a call is not received, staff and/or the attendance clerk will call to verify that the absence is for a legitimate reason. Within 3 days after the student returns to school, a signed absence card or note from the parent/guardian must be presented. Absence cards are distributed at the opening of school and are available from teachers. The failure of the parent/guardian to provide a written excuse will cause the absence to be categorized as unexcused. All absences beyond ten cumulative days shall require an excuse from a physician. Please note the word illness is not a legal excuse according to PA law. It must be defined, i.e., sore throat. Absence due to family trips will always be recorded as unexcused. When a student of compulsory age has three days or the equivalent of unexcused absence, the school will coordinate a school attendance improvement conference to discuss the cause for the child s truancy. BUS BEHAVIOR Students are expected to be at the bus stop five minutes prior to scheduled pick up time; to be considerate of private property near the bus stop; to board the bus in an acceptable manner without pushing, shoving, or running; to keep all objects out of the aisle and on their laps; to follow the directions of the bus driver; to avoid interfering with the safe and orderly operation of the bus or jeopardizing the health and safety of passengers; to abstain from smoking, using, or possessing drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products; and to pay for any damage they cause to the bus. Violating any of the basic rules of conduct may result in appropriate disciplinary action including suspension from school. Students must ride their designated buses. Secondary students must have identification cards at all times. Any person who attempts to enter a school bus without prior authorization of the driver or a school official and refuses to disembark will be subject to fines of up to $2,500 and possible imprisonment. STUDENT DRESS Student dress is essentially the responsibility of the student and his/her parents/guardians. The school district reserves the right to require any student wearing clothes that are disruptive to change to more appropriate school dress. Wearing hats or outer wear in the school is inappropriate and not permitted.

REPORT CARDS Elementary schools report pupil progress three times during the school year. Report cards are given to parents/guardians during their conferences with teachers in December and March. The final report card will be posted electronically to Skyward in June. In the junior and senior high schools, pupil progress is reported four times a year with report periods closing in November, January, April, and June. Report cards are posted electronically to Skyward at the conclusion of each marking period. Ongoing information regarding grades and assignments is accessible by parents and guardians through Skyward s Family Access portal located on the district website. Note: This information represents current policies, changes, and information approved as of the date this went to press. RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS/TUITION In accordance with the Pennsylvania School Code, children may attend Abington schools if they and their parent(s) or guardian(s) reside in Abington Township or the Borough of Rockledge. If a student becomes a non-resident of the school district during the year, he/she may finish his/her education in the Abington schools as a tuition student. Please refer to the Board Policy Statement regarding tuition students. A graduating senior who becomes a non-resident after October 15 of the senior year and who has completed grades ten and eleven in Abington may complete the senior year at Abington Senior High School without the payment of tuition. For questions concerning elementary school attendance areas, call the Office of Child Accounting at 215-881-2569. SCHOOL PROPERTY Abington is proud of its excellent school buildings and facilities. These buildings and equipment need considerable care in order to remain attractive and functional. Students must treat all school property well, pick up any litter they might see, and report to a staff person any marring or destruction of property. STUDENT RECORDS Your student s records are available for inspection at each school. Should you wish to examine your child s school records, you may arrange to do so by contacting the elementary school principal or your child s secondary school counselor. You have the right to question the contents in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Parents/Guardians have the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20202-5920. FERPA permits the District to forward education records to other agencies or institutions that have requested the records and in which the student intends to enroll. It is the parent/guardian s responsibility to ensure that the demographic information in the Official School Record is up to date including address, home and work telephone numbers, and names of emergency contacts. The Official School Record should include information regarding any custodial arrangements. In the absence of a court order in a child s folder, the District will assume both parents enjoy custodial rights. Some school publications and information venues such as the school district website, cable TV channels, Facebook, Twitter, yearbooks, activity programs, and athletic eligibility lists may contain directory-type information about and photographs of your child related to her/his participation in activities. If you do not wish to have your child s name, photographs, and/or other information relating to the activity published, please advise the principal in writing at the start of each school year. Further information and a complete copy of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment are available through the building principal and on the school district website under About ASD -> Guide to Useful Information -> Student Records.

NO SMOKING POLICY The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Abington Township both have enacted ordinances that prohibit smoking and the use of any tobacco product on or in all property owned, leased, or under the control of Abington School District, including buildings, playing fields, buses, and all other facilities. Abington School District has and enforces policies for students and staff. However, the Township ordinance applies to EVERYONE on or in any school district property. A student violator will be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $50 plus court costs or the court may admit the offender to an adjudication alternative. The student also will receive school-based discipline. Any individual who violates Pennsylvania s no smoking law will be subject to a fine of not more than $250 on his/her first offense, not more than $500 on his/her second offense within one year, and not more than $1,000 on his/her following offense within one year of his/her second offense. STUDENTS AND THE USE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND OTHER UNAUTHORIZED SUBSTANCES The Board of School Directors of the Abington School District recognizes the serious nature of drugs, alcohol, and unauthorized substance abuse. The schools play a role in addressing this problem. In recognition of this responsibility, the Abington School District implements programs and activities based upon the following principles: 1. Schools at all levels will present, through the regular classroom and special programs, a comprehensive educational program aimed at preventing drug, alcohol, and substance abuse, using materials and activities appropriate to the age and maturity of the student. 2. The administrative and teaching staffs will do all within their power to ensure that unauthorized drugs and substances and alcohol are not present in school buildings or on school grounds including, but not limited to, searches of school lockers, school parking areas, and other school district facilities. This includes the potential to cooperate with law enforcement and canine units for the use of drug sniffing dogs. 3. The school district will cooperate fully at all times with law enforcement agencies, following guidelines that have been developed cooperatively by those agencies and school administrators. 4. The school district will provide referral services to students with drug, alcohol, and substance abuse problems who are interested in obtaining professional assistance beyond the jurisdiction of the school. 5. Students who are detected in the process of buying, selling, giving, receiving, transferring, possessing, and/or using unauthorized drugs, substances, or alcohol in school or on school property may be suspended and referred to the Abington Police Department. Any student who violates this may be subject to expulsion from school and school activities. 6. The basic welfare and health of the student body is the primary consideration in any readmission of a student to school who has been suspended for using unauthorized drugs and substances and/or alcohol. 7. The use of anabolic steroids by any student in school-related athletics is prohibited except for a valid medical purpose. Body building, muscle enhancement, increasing muscle bulk or strength, or the enhancement of athletic ability are not valid medical purposes. ASSESSMENT/TESTING PROGRAMS The state and district-wide testing programs are designed to provide information concerning the proficiency of students on tests of achievement and aptitude. We believe that such information is vital to the development of an instructional program that maximizes the growth of every student in the school district. In addition, the results of these tests provide a continuing record of each student s academic progress as compared with the students throughout the state, and on selected tests, throughout the nation. Specific concerns regarding your child and this testing program should be referred to the elementary school principal or the secondary school guidance counselor. Each year the program is approved by the Board of School Directors and mailed to parents/guardians. Proposed testing dates are listed below and are on the school district s website under About ASD> Guide to Useful Information> Testing Programs. Test Grades Date Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) 10, 11 Oct. 11, 2017 Cognitive Abilities Test K, 2 Dec. 11-15, 2017 : Algebra I, 9-11 Jan. 8-22, 2018 Biology and Literature (as needed) PSSA English Language Arts 3-8 Apr. 9-13, 2018 PSSA Mathematics 3-8 Apr. 16-20, 2018 PSSA Science 4, 8 Apr. 23-27, 2018 PSSA Make-Up 3-8 Apr. 30 - May 4, 2018 : Algebra I, 8 May 14-25, 2018 Biology and Literature 9-11 (as needed) : Algebra I, 8 July 30 - Aug. 3, 2018 Biology and Literature Retests 9-11 (as needed) Note: This information represents current policies, changes, and information approved as of the date this went to press. WEATHER EMERGENCIES Should inclement weather or any other emergency require cancellation of school, the District provides information using the local cable channel 43, Verizon Fios 34, Comcast 968 and other TV channels; the District website; and an automated telephone calling system. The information may also appear on TV news outlets. The number "301" designates the Abington School District and designates closing. KYW will no longer announce on the radio; however, they will post school closing numbers on their website. In the event that school is on a two-hour delayed opening, students are to report to school or to their bus stops two hours later than their usually scheduled time. When a two-hour late arrival for a weather emergency coincides with an early dismissal day, the early dismissal is cancelled and will be rescheduled. Should weather conditions develop during the day that would make bus travel dangerous, we will dismiss school early. That decision will be disseminated through the same channels of communication utilized for a late arrival. To prepare for the possibility of an unplanned early dismissal, parents and guardians should arrange an alternate place for their children to go in the event that no one is at home. QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? Parents/Guardians often wonder where to turn with a question or a concern re garding their child or other school issues. Starting "too high up the ladder" often requires information backtracking and can leave valuable allies out of the loop. When you are not happy with a particular answer or solution, where do you go? Here are some handy guidelines to use: 1. If it is a classroom problem, start with your child s teacher. He/she is in the best position to address classroom-related issues. If the problem is outside the teacher s area of expertise or control, the teacher will refer you to the right person. 2. If you have not been able to resolve your problem with the teacher, go next to the principal or supervisor who usually will be able to resolve your problem or refer you to the right person. 3. If you still cannot resolve your problem, call or write the Superintendent s Office. The telephone number is (215) 881-2500; the address is Abington School District, 970 Highland Avenue, Abington, PA 19001. 4. If your question involves taxes, check first with the Abington Township Tax Collector at 267-536-1024. If your problem concerning school taxes cannot be resolved there, contact the Abington School District Business Office at (215) 881-2541. If you still need help, contact the Superintendent s Office.

SERVICES FOR STUDENTS ABINGTON STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (ASAP) The Abington Student Assistance Program (ASAP) is a service that provides support and referral information for students who are experiencing difficulty in the areas of behavior, health, attendance, and/or academic performance. This program operates at the junior and senior high schools. Assistance may be obtained from the ASAP team by contacting the administration, guidance, or health offices. SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGICAL AND COUNSELING SERVICES School psychologists operate a preventive and developmental program aimed at helping each child realize his/her full potential. Psychologists visit classrooms and consult with teachers and parents/guardians to identify potential problems. The child s total wellbeing physical, social, emotional, mental, and environmental is considered when assessing the child s adjustment to the school experience. The school psychologist with the multidisciplinary team members evaluates children experiencing school difficulties and recommends services and programs designed to meet specific needs. Conferences organized by the school psychologists with parents/guardians, school personnel, and any outside providers, as applicable, are a common tool for exchanging ideas and suggestions. The secondary school counselors personalize the educational experience by showing young people how to set realistic goals and make plans based on an evaluation of all alternatives, including their individual interests. The District has adopted a policy and procedure on Suicide and Self-Harming Behavior Prevention to protect the health, safety and welfare of its students, to promote healthy development, and to safeguard against the threat or attempt of suicide among school-aged youth. These documents can be found on the District website. HEALTH SERVICES Abington provides school nurses and contracted services for pediatric and dental care to ensure health care is available to all students. At intervals throughout each child s school career in addition to original entry into school, we require certain health examinations. Physical examinations - Kindergarten, 7th grade, and 11th grade. Dental examinations - Kindergarten, 3rd grade, and 7th grade. Pennsylvania Department of Health Regulations require all students attending public or nonpublic schools to provide proof of proper immunization. All children have a yearly health conference with a school nurse. Any health problems discovered by the school will be reported to parents/guardians. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to contact the school nurse to discuss any medical issues. MEDICATION PROCEDURES The administration of medication to a student during school hours in accordance with the direction of a parent/guardian and family physician will be permitted only when (1) failure to take such medication would jeopardize the health of the student and/or (2) the student would not be able to attend school if the medication was not made available during regular school hours. Before any medication may be administered to a student during school hours, the school nurse must receive (1) a written request from the parent/guardian giving permission for the administration of the specific medication, (2) the written order from the prescribing physician including the name of medication, dosage, the time at which or the special circumstances under which the medication shall be administered, the length of the period for which medication is prescribed, and the possible side effects of the medication, and (3) the medication in a properly labeled container delivered to the school by a responsible adult. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to inform the school nurse of any medication brought to or taken in school. ENGLISH LEARNERS Abington School District offers an English Language Development (ELD) program to students whose dominant language is not English and who have been formally identified as needing support. Classes are scheduled to help these students make a transition to English. HOME AND SCHOOL VISITOR The home and school visitor trained in school social work helps maintain lines of communication between home and school. At times the economic and social conditions affecting a family can influence a child s school progress and attendance. In such cases, the home and school visitor is able to help parents/guardians establish contact with social agencies and to explore ways to improve the situation or reduce its impact on the student. Parents/Guardians in such situations are encouraged to contact the home and school visitor at (215) 884-4700, ext. 2551. PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS IDENTIFIED AS MENTALLY GIFTED The Abington School District is committed to providing an appropriate education for students who qualify for participation in programs for the gifted. The District follows the procedures prescribed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for determining gifted eligibility. An array of testing, evaluation, and observational measures are used by the Gifted Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (GMDT) to determine whether a student is gifted and in need of specially designed instruction. A Gifted Individualized Education Program (GIEP) is developed where the specific goals and objectives are identified to meet the child s individual needs. Parents/guardians who wish to request that their child may be eligible as a student who is mentally gifted should contact the school psychologist or secondary school counselor. COMPREHENSIVE STUDENT SUPPORT PROGRAM The Comprehensive Student Support/CORETEAM Program (CSSP) provides academic, social, and emotional support to students. The goal is to implement intervention strategies and offer support in the areas of academic, behavioral, and coping skills to help students succeed in regular education. The team identifies needs, makes referrals, and monitors progess. Parents/Guardians who believe that their children may be in need of support services should contact the appro priate elementary or secondary principal, psychologist, or the secondary school counselor. LIBRARY/MEDIA SERVICES Abington's libraries are modern, contain extensive collections, and are managed by professional librarians who provide library skills instruction. They also help students and faculty with book selection for reports and leisure reading, with research for term papers, and with finding facts and other information. Librarians provide assistance and instruction in the use of computers, multimedia, databases and internet searches. Home access is provided for most electronic resources. The elementary school libraries are open from 8:50 a.m. to 3:20 p.m., the junior high school library is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and the senior high school library is open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES A student identified with a disability under Chapter 14 of the PA Regulations and in need of specially designed instruction could be eligible for special education to meet his/her individual learning needs. The IDEA disability categories include autism, deaf-blindness, deafness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, specific learning disabilities, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, and visual impairment including blindness. Abington School District provides an array of special education programs and services throughout the district. Eligiblity for special education programs and services is determined after the completion of a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaulation and the development of an Individualized Education Program (IEP), which describes the special instruction for the student. Due process procedures are followed including written permission prior to an evaluation or the placement of a student. The IEP team, which includes the parent/guardian, decides the amount and type of special education services that will be provided to the student. Additional information regarding special education programs, eligibility and services can be obtained from the Special Education Department by calling 215-881-2549.
