Semester Tests: All Leadore Junior High (7-8) and High School students are required to take semester tests.
The semester tests will focus on all the material covered during the semester, with the emphasis on the major
concepts learned. Students will be expected to keep their notes and assignments so they have review materials to
use in preparing for semester tests. Teachers will provide at least one day of review prior to the tests.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance at school is more than a legal obligation; it is a privilege. Every child of compulsory school age
must attend school unless otherwise exempted as provided in Section 33-204, 205 of the Idaho Code, or as
determined by school authorities.
90% Attendance: It is the intent of the Board of Trustees that students attend school on a regular basis. Regular
and consistent attendance results in increased learning and higher achievement. All students must maintain 90%
attendance. No credit will be granted to students missing more than seven (7) days per semester. The principal
shall adjudicate absences when the total number of days could be tallied as less than 7 days using doctor’s excuses
and legitimate illness.
Absences: Leadore Junior High (7-8) and High School students with 4 or less absences per semester will be excused
from semester tests and may participate in school sponsored field trip instead. Absences related solely to school
activities or trips are exempt from the semester test absence rule. All other reasons for absence, whether for illness, by
parent permission, or excused or unexcused by other policies will be counted among absences for determining
eligibility for semester tests. Absences are determined according to official school records. Semester test exemptions
will be considered by the principal on a case by case basis. An exempted student may optionally take a semester test
to improve his or her grade .
Absences with Make-up Privileges: When accompanied by a written excuse from parents or guardian, pupils
may be excused (with make -up privileges) from regular school programs. Excused absences will count against
the 90% attendance rule. To be excused from school for reasons other than illness, medical appointment, or
family emergency, the following condition must be met:
a. Secure advance approval from building principal.
b. Student must be satisfactory in schoolwork and school behavior.
c. The absence will not jeopardize the 90% attendance requirement.
d. Student will be released to the supervision of the parent or guardian.
If there is a question about whether the absence will be excused or not, students or parents should always check in
advance with the principal. Every effort will be made to accommodate parent requests providing the above
criteria are met.
Make-up Assignments: Students are expected to make up missing assignments as soon as possible after
returning to school. Students will have one school day to make up work for each absence, with a five-day
maximum. No credit will be received for work turned in later than five days after the student’s return. Exceptions
to this rule will apply in cases of severe illness or family emergency. Students who know in advance they will be
absent, whether for school/sports-related activities, personal reasons, or medical appointments, should endeavor to
turn in assignments prior to their planned absence.
Tardiness: Students have three minutes between class periods. This period is marked by two bells, the first to
signal the end of a class period, and the second to indicate that the next class period has begun. This second bell
is considered the tardy bell. Students are expected to be in their seats and ready to begin study when the tardy bell
rings. Students who accumulate three tardies in one class will be recorded as having an absence. This absence will
be reported to the administration and count against semester test exemptions. Students will serve detention at
the rate of 10 minutes for each unexcused tardy.
Sign-out procedures: Students who need to leave campus during class periods must have prior permission from
both a parent and the principal. They must also sign out in the office. The principal may deny permission.
Students who fail to sign out properly and leave campus without permission will be considered truant.

community, all classes, through their fundraising, are required to perform a community service once a year.
Class Advisors: Each class must have a class advisor. The class advisor must attend authorized school activities.
Class projects must be supervised by the class advisor whether on or off school property.

senior trip, students can have no more than 4 absences in the semester to attend the trip in March and no more 5
absences to attend the trip in April.
All students will participate in fund raising to be able to go on the senior trip. If students who transfer to Leadore
High School wish to go on the senior trip, the class will decide, based on participation in fundraising, the amount
of expenses the transferred student will have to pay to be included. The senior class will budget from their class
fund $250 to go back to the General Fund. This money along with any monies left over from the senior trip will
be dedicated to scholarships for the present standing senior class.
The class will present their proposed senior trip to the Board of Trustees by the October meeting. At that time
they will present to the Board their choices for chaperones. The Board must approve all senior trip chaperones.
The class will pay the expenses for all chaperones to attend the senior trip. After a chaperone is chosen and
approved, he or she must then help with the fundraising and planning of the trip. In December the senior class will
report back to the Board for their final approval. At that time all funds should be finalized and the senior trip
agenda should be completed. Upon return from the Educational Senior Trip the class must report back to the
School Board.
Withdrawal: When it becomes necessary for a student to withdraw from school, the student must check in all
books and district property. Report cards or any other records will not be issued until all library fines and fees, or
any other financial obligations have been paid.
Guidance: The purpose of guidance programs is to help students achieve their highest growth academically,
socially and emotionally. Guidance has several goals:
1. Academic advising for the purpose of setting and achieving academic goals.
2. Academic advising in order to assist with post-secondary decisions, information, and forms.
3. Academic advising for the purpose of encouraging classroom behavior and atmosphere which is
conducive to learning for all students.
4. Counseling when a student needs specific social or emotional support.
5. A comprehensive testing program designed to identify specific student capabilities and needs.
Library Services: The library opens at 8:00 a.m. and will remain open throughout the school day. The library
may not have supervision; however, students are encouraged to use the library as much as possible using the
honor system for checking out books and using library computers. From time to time, it may be necessary for
students to visit the library during class time to do research. In such cases, the teacher will determine if current
library supervision is sufficient to meet the student’s need.
RESPONSIBLE DIGITAL USE:
Computer and Network Services: Use of the school computers and the network is a privilege, not a right.
Permission from parents is required before students may access the school’s digital network. All students must
sign the Responsible Use Agreement as set forth in this handbook before access is permitted. The digital network
and school electronic equipment must be used for educational and instructional purposes only. During
instructional periods personal electronic devices (PEDs) on school premises must be used only for school-related
educational purposes. All activity on the digital network is monitored. Students must have specific teacher
permission before using PED’s during class.
By installing blocks and filters, steps have been taken to protect students from obscene or harmful internet
content. Disabling of blocks or filters is not allowed and will result in disciplinary action. Students do not have
an expectation of privacy in their use of the computer or the network. PEDs such as cell phones, smart phones,
Ipods, electronic tablets and laptops must abide by District content and digital citizenship standards and be virusfree when being used on school premises, the school network or activities, digital school content, or for school
assignments.


E-Mail: Students are allowed to access school authorized email accounts only. Due to invasive
programming, Hotmail, Yahoo and other unauthorized email vendors are not permitted to be used at
school. E-mails may be viewed by others; Students have no expectation of privacy in email accounts or
messages. Confidentiality is not guaranteed. The district reserves the right to investigate and cooperate
fully with law enforcement in any investigations concerning e-mail transmissions using the district
electronic network.

Social Networking: Teachers may assign social network access for educational purposes. Educational
social network sites are monitored and safe. Other social network sites may be used during class time
only with specific teacher direction. Non-educational use of social networks is prohibited during class
time. Students may access their personal social network during breaks and lunch. Rules for responsible
digital use apply to all personal electronic devices and all communications while on school premises or
activities. Students should always follow safe social networking practices. The district reserves the right
to investigate and cooperate fully with law enforcement in any investigations concerning social network
transmissions causing problems at school or which are sent or received during school or school activities
whether or not they use the district electronic network.
Violations of Responsible Digital Use: A student’s personal device may be confiscated, and/or a student may
temporarily lose computer and network privileges if he/she violates responsible digital use expectations. A repeat
violation is a serious offense which will result in even more restrictive consequences. A student may have
internet privileges revoked, be removed from a class, or be suspended or expelled from school for flagrant or
repeat violation of digital use policies or for engaging in illegal activities. If a student is responsible for any
damage he/she must pay all costs incurred in restoring the electronic device or service.

child being denied bus riding privileges.
 Students shall wait for the bus in an orderly manner in a safe place, clear of traffic and away from where the

weeks for the purpose of establishing eligibility to participate. When a participant has a reported failing grade at a
two-week checkpoint, the student will be given a one week probationary period to rectify the failing grade and to
be determined as eligible. In the event that the participant has not rectified the failing grade at the end of the
probationary period, the student will be determined to be ineligible for the next two weeks. The suspension does
not restrict the participant from practices during the time of ineligibility.

assignments either prior to or while absent, in order for work to be turned in at the start of the next regular class
period.

lessons of sportsmanship that team competitions provide by also agreeing to the Parent Code of Conduct below.
STUDENT SPORTSMANSHIP AGREEMENT
The essential elements of character-building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship
and six core principles: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship. The highest
potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these “six pillars of character.”
As an athlete at Leadore High School, I will work towards attaining the following goals:
1. Developing a sense of dignity under all circumstances;
2. Respecting the rules of the game, the officials who administer the rules, and their decisions;
3. Respecting opponents as fellow students, and acknowledging them for striving to do their best while I
seek to do my best at the same time;
4. Refraining from engaging in all types of disrespectful behavior, especially taunting, “trash talking” and
other forms of intimidation;
5. Looking at athletic participation as a potentially beneficial learning experience, whether I win or lose;
6. Educating other students and fans to understand the rules of the game, and the value of sportsmanship.
I will remember I am a spokesperson for our school when I represent Leadore High School in an athletic
competition. My actions are viewed by family and friends, opposing fans, the local community and the media.
By displaying good sportsmanship, I will be showing the most positive attributes of myself and our school.
