Accidents happen!
Did you know . . . the Surrey School District does not insure expenses for student
injuries that happen on school grounds or during school activities? Also, the Medical
Services Plan (MSP) is limited and does not cover some charges. Injury-related costs
(not covered or limited under MSP and group insurance plans) may include dental
treatment, eyewear, rental of crutches or wheelchairs, splints and casts, physiotherapy
and private tutors. Please review the District Information Sheet on Accidents happen …
what every parent should know at www.surreyschools.ca. For information on
inexpensive student accident insurance visit www.iapkidsplus.com.
Class cancellation information
Sometimes extreme weather conditions or other unusual circumstances can cause class
cancellations at a school, or district-wide on short notice. In the event of class
cancellations, the Surrey School District will post information on its website at
www.surreyschools.ca and provide updates to the following radio stations.






CKNW (980 AM or www.cknw.com)
News 1130 (1130 AM or www.news1130.com)
CBC Radio (690 AM or www.cbc.ca/bc)

Radio India (1600 AM)
Red-FM (93.1 FM)
Radio Punjab (cable/satellite)

CHMB (AM 1320)
Fairchild Radio (1470 AM)
Please do not call the radio stations as staff is very busy receiving updates and
preparing newscasts. Calling schools and district offices is also impractical since staff
members are generally not available to answer telephone calls far in advance of regular
school opening time and phone lines typically become congested in any event.
Weather, power, road and safety conditions can change substantially within a few hours,
therefore assessments and decisions must be made as close to school opening as
possible for the information to be reliable. However, the district will do its best to
communicate the status of schools by 7 a.m.
Even if all schools are open, many schools can face conditions and circumstances
unique to a neighborhood. Therefore, the district encourages and respects the
importance of parental decision-making regarding accessing a school, based on
parents’ own location and individual circumstances, their route to school and
overall attention to safety.
Cover your Losses!
The Surrey School District will not accept responsibility for loss, damage or theft of any
student-owned property, including, but not limited to clothing, school supplies,
equipment, electronics (e.g. cameras, cell phones, iPads, notebooks, table and laptop
computers), vehicles or cash. Items brought to, or left on school district premises are at
the student’s risk. It is the responsibility to the student or parent to arrange insurance to
cover any loss or damage to personal property brought to school.
5
False fire alarms
A false fire alarm is a criminal offence. Under section 437 of the Criminal Code of
Canada, anyone who willfully, without reasonable cause, circulates or causes to be
made an alarm of fire is guilty of an indictable offence.
 Anyone caught pulling a false alarm will be charged with public mischief and initiating a
false fire alarm.
 A fine will be issued to the student and his/her family.
 The student caught pulling a false alarm will be suspended until they and their
family meet with school and fire officials to meet any obligations associated with the
false fire alarm.
Every time firefighters respond to a false fire alarm they are not available to help others in the
city who may be experiencing a fire or those who are in need of medical assistance. Putting
the lives of others in jeopardy is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
Students should use the fire alarm pull stations in schools only if they see a fire in the
building.

Lockers: Conditions of use
Lockers are assigned to students for use during the school year on the following conditions:
1. Students are responsible for the locker that is assigned to them and it is not to be used
by any other person.
2. Only approved locks may be used on student lockers and the combination of the lock
must be registered at the office.
3. The locker may only be used for the storage of books, school supplies and equipment,
outerwear, school sports equipment and lunches.
4. The locker is to be kept clean and food removed on a regular basis.
5. Students are responsible for cleaning and removing all material from their locker at the
end of the year or when they leave the school.
6. No illegal substances, weapons or other prohibited or offensive material may be placed
in school lockers.
7. School officials and/or designates may search student lockers at any time and without
prior notice in order to ensure compliance with the conditions of use and other school
policies and rules..
8. Permission to use the locker may be terminated when a student does not comply with
the conditions of use or school policies or rules.
School Safety Alert System (Lockdown / Lockout Procedures)
Surrey Schools has developed a School Safety Alert System to help keep students, staff
and volunteers safe during a real or perceived threat. School administrators are authorized
to activate a safety alert, and drills take place at schools regularly to ensure familiarity and
compliance with safety protocols. Each ‘alert’ requires specific actions.
6
A Lockdown is called in response to a perceived life-threatening emergency either inside
or in close proximity to the school building.
A Lockout is typically called in response to a danger that has been identified outside the
school or in the surrounding school community.
An All Clear is announced over the school’s PA system when there is no longer a threat to
the safety of student, staff and volunteers.
Keeping our schools safe
(Reference: Safe and Caring Schools Policy 9410 and Regulations 9410.1 and 9410.2

 bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, threat and intimidation, violence in any form;
 verbal, physical or sexual abuse/exploitation;
 discrimination in any form; and
 theft and vandalism.

 intoxicating or banned substances;
 weapons (or replica weapons) and explosives; and
 intruders or trespassers.

plagiarism, cheating, use of unauthorized aids, or false representation of identity
Student threat assessment protocol: Fair Notice
What behaviors initiate a student threat assessment?
A student threat assessment will be initiated when behaviors include, but are not
limited to, serious violence or violence with intent to harm or kill, verbal/written threats to
harm/kill others, Internet website/MSN threats to harm/kill others, possession of
weapons (including replicas), bomb threats and fire setting.
Duty to report
To keep school communities safe and caring, staff, parents, students and community
members must report all threat-related behaviors.
What is a threat?
A threat is an expression of intent to do harm or act out violently against someone or
something. Threats may be verbal, written, drawn, posted on the Internet or made by
gesture. Threats must be taken seriously, investigated and responded to.
What is a Threat Assessment Team?
Each school has a Threat Assessment Team. The team may include principal, viceprincipal, district resource counsellor, school counsellor and police.
What is the purpose of a student threat assessment?
 to ensure the safety of students, staff, parents and others;
 to ensure a full understanding of the context of the threat;
 to understand factors contributing to the threat-maker’s behavior;
 to be proactive in developing an intervention plan that addresses the emotional and
physical safety of the threat maker; and
 to promote the emotional and physical safety of all.
What happens in a student threat assessment?
All threat-making behavior by a student shall be reported to the principal who will activate
the protocol for the initial response. Once the team has been activated, interviews may be
held with the student(s), the threat maker, parents and staff to determine the level of risk
and develop an appropriate response to the incident. Intervention plans will be developed
and shared with parents, staff and students as required.
Can I refuse to participate in a threat assessment process?
It is important for all parties to engage in the process. However, if for some reason there is
a reluctance to participate in the process by the threat maker or parent /
guardian, the threat assessment process will continue in order to promote a safe and
caring learning environment.

Transcripts
What is a transcript?
A transcript is the official document that indicates:
successful completion of Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses:
course achievement levels (with the exception of I, F & W);
program participation (eg. Career Preparation);
whether a student has completed graduation requirements; and
honours standing, if the student has a Grade Point Average (GPA) greater than 3.0
(a better than B average).





When are transcripts sent to students?
The Ministry of Education sends transcripts to all Grade 12 students at the end of July,
regardless of graduation status. Schools also receive an official printed copy.
Electronic copies are sent to post-secondary institutions if required by the student.
Transcript responsibilities of the Surrey School District
Even though the ministry provides a transcript service, school districts are the official
holders of student records. Copies of ministry-produced transcripts must be maintained
by the school district for 55 years after a student graduates (or normally would have
graduated) as a part of the students’ Permanent Record. Schools or the district may
issue transcripts upon request, and they have the authority to correct errors or
omissions.
Obtaining copies of a transcript or permanent record card (PR card)
 Students who are still in Grade 12 may obtain copies of their transcript from their
school.
 Former students who graduated / attended in the last five years can obtain copies
from the last school they attended or were registered at.
 Former students who graduated / attended more than five years ago should contact
the Surrey Schools Records Centre at 604-595-5314.
The service fee is $10 for the first official copy and $5 for subsequent copies. GST is
included in the fee.
All requests must include the student’s full legal name (maiden name if applicable),
birthdate, the last school registered at, authorization and current contact information. All
copies are officially certified and sealed.

programs. All district employees are responsible for ensuring the law and board
policy are followed – in the best interest of everyone’s health.

GETTING INVOLVED!
Students will enjoy school more at Fleetwood Park when they participate in
school events. Becoming involved helps make them a part of the school
community, and this in turn makes school a more meaningful experience for
them.
Fleetwood Park offers many opportunities to become involved in a variety of
sports, clubs, and other activities. A prerequisite for student participation in
extracurricular activities is membership in the Fleetwood Park Student
Association. Membership is obtained by paying the Student Activity Fee at the
start of the school year.
ATHLETICS
Fleetwood Park has an established record of fine sportsmanship and spirit with
its athletic program. Students are encouraged to become actively involved in
athletics. This is a wonderful opportunity to benefit personal growth and
development, both athletically and socially.
School teams compete in league play against Surrey schools at the Grade 8 and
Junior levels, and other schools in the Lower Fraser Valley at the Senior level.
League champions then compete in a Fraser Valley Championship against the
Upper Fraser Valley champions. The top finishers in the Fraser Valley
Championships move on to the Provincial Championships.
Student interest and the availability of coaches dictate which sports might be
offered in a given year.

STUDENT SERVICES
COUNSELLING SERVICE
A counseling service is available for students attending Fleetwood Park
Secondary. If students are having difficulty planning their programs, making a
career choice, developing adequate study habits, or resolving many of the other
problems which might influence their work, students may discuss their concerns
and receive assistance from one of the qualified counsellors.
APPOINTMENTS
Appointments can be made in the counseling area by students signing their
name in one of the available spaces in the counsellor’s appointment book. Make
a note of the appointment day and time. Before appointments, the teachers
must give permission for student to proceed to the counselling area. After
the appointment, the counsellor will sign an appointment slip and indicate
the time of return to class.
LEARNER SUPPORT TEAM SERVICES
Learning support is available to students through a referral system. Students are
provided services on a needs basis. The main focus is to provide academic
support. Emphasis is placed on study and organizational skills. Students can
refer themselves or be referred by a teacher, their parents, a counsellor, or an
administrator. LST also includes ESL Services.
LIBRARY
Students have access to the library throughout the school day as well as before
and after school. Weekday hours of operation are posted outside the library.
Students are welcome any time during the day, although those students doing
independent research during class time require written permission from their
teacher.
16
Library technology is only to be used for instructional purposes during class time.
Students may, however, access their e-mail accounts before or after school, and
during lunch (or, with special permission from the teacher-librarian).
Students are expected to return resources in good condition and on time, respect
the need of others for a quiet learning space, and refrain from gum-chewing,
eating or drinking. The Fleetwood Park Student ID/ Go Card serves as a library
card and is required for sign-out of materials.
LOST AND FOUND
The school’s “Lost and Found” is located near the counselling area. Any found
item should be brought to the office. (Students are warned not to bring large
sums of money or valuables or expensive items such as IPODs, cell
phones, or MP3 Players to school). During P.E. class, items such as watches
and jewelry should be locked in your locker or given to your P.E. teacher for safekeeping. You are responsible for the care and safety of all personal belongings.
The school cannot accept responsibility for any lost or stolen
articles.
Protecting Surrey School Together (PSST)
PSST is a website hosted by Surrey Schools with support from the
Surrey RCMP and Surrey Crime Prevention. The Website provides:

A respected, trusted and confidential resource for students to

STUDENT EVALUATION AND REPORTING
At Fleetwood Park, there is a system of continuous assessment based on
classroom work, assignments, projects, and tests. Students will have an
opportunity to represent what they have learned in a variety of ways.
Fleetwood Park has four formal reporting periods during the school year:
November, February, April, and June. In addition, informal reports by phone, in
writing, or through conferencing will occur one or more times during the year.
LETTER GRADES/PERCENTAGES
A (4.0) =
86 – 100%
excellent performance
B (3.0) =
73 – 85
very good performance
C+ (2.5) =
67 – 72
good performance
C (2.0) =
60 – 66

PROMOTION POLICY
Our promotion policy is based on the principle “that what is in the best interests
of the student, overrides other considerations”. Students in Grades 10, 11, or 12
must receive a minimum grade of 50% to advance to a succeeding course. Each
required course will be taken sequentially except in special cases with
department and administrative approval. Special attention will be given to
reviewing Grade 8 to 10 student promotion.
Grade assignments will be advanced each year with the exception of assignment
from Grade 11 to 12. Students will be assigned to Grade 12 if they are eligible to
graduate after successful completion of their final year.

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
Fleetwood Park has a history of fostering social responsibility both within the
school community and in the global community.
Respect Yourself & Others
Respect the Environment
Respect Learning
Staff, students and any other community member who is in the school are
expected to model the behavior that is in keeping with this code.
The staff of Fleetwood Park Secondary is committed to fostering positive,
supportive relationships between students, parents and school personnel.
School rules and policies have been established for everyone’s protection, safety
and well-being. At Fleetwood Park we expect students to assume responsibility
for their behavior. The staff assists students in developing skills for resolving
conflict, problem solving and decision-making.
Every student receives a copy of this Code of Conduct. Teachers review
expectations on an ongoing basis. Students are expected to follow the
guidelines outlined in the Code in classrooms, in the school building, on school
grounds and at school functions.
ALCOHOL / DRUGS
Being under the influence or in possession of either drugs or alcohol are serious
offences that can lead to suspension from the school. It is School Board Policy
that students found under the influence, in possession of, or supplying
drugs or alcohol, will be suspended and may also be referred to legal
authorities. This includes ALL school sponsored events and extracurricular activities.
ASSEMBLIES
Assemblies take place on a periodic basis during the school year. Large
gatherings require all students to conduct themselves in an orderly manner, and
to extend the utmost courtesy to other students, staff, or visitors who may wish to
address the audience. We strive to have a reputation as a thoughtful, polite and
enthusiastic audience.
ATTENDANCE
At Fleetwood Park, it is understood that there is a clear relationship between
regular attendance and school achievement. Our attendance policies and
procedures encourage you to attend regularly and ensure that students are
accountable to both teachers and parents for absences.
20
A close reporting of attendance is an important feature of this school.
Cooperation is necessary in keeping records accurate and will prevent students
from running into problems. Please be well aware of the following points:
1.
It is a student’s responsibility to attend classes regularly except where
illness prevents it, or where other unavoidable causes make attendance
impractical. Where possible, medical, dental, and other appointments
should be scheduled outside of class time.
2.
Students who are going to be absent are requested to have a parent
phone the school (604-597-2301) before 8:25 A.M. on the day of
absence, or to bring a note from home to the office the next morning.
Sometimes teachers will specifically request a note, especially when
assignments are due or tests are to be written.
Whenever students bring a note, it must be taken first to the office where
the secretary will record and initial it. The note will then be returned to the
student to show to teachers.
3.
Should students need to miss a class for a field trip, it is their responsibility
to ask permission from all their teachers.
4.
Daily attendance is monitored by subject teachers. Truancy or irregular
attendance can result in:
a)
losing test, assignment, and participation marks
b)
having to make up the time missed
c)
being placed on attendance contract
d)
in-school suspension
e)
being asked to withdraw from school, or
f)
other appropriate action.
5.
Vacations during the school year – As extended absences seriously affect
the teaching, learning and evaluation process, we strongly discourage
parents from taking students on vacations during the school term. However,
when this is absolutely necessary, we request that students and their
parents discuss the matter well in advance with the teachers concerned.
Students must also pick up and complete a “Student Long-Term Absence
Form” from the office at least one week before leaving. Students must
understand that there are logical consequences of missing important school
work.
6.
Please be aware that an unexcused absence of over ten days can result in
de-registration.
LATES
Getting to school and class on time shows responsibility, courtesy and starts the
day’s learning in the appropriate manner. Use time management skills to get to
all classes on time regardless of crowded hallways and other obstacles .
1.
Class breaks are to be used for moving from one class to another,
not for socializing.
2.
Avoid visiting lockers between classes. Take all required books
and supplies for all morning classes and after lunch for all
afternoon classes.
21
If students are late for class:
1.
2.
3.
Report directly to class.
The teacher will mark students “late” on the computerized attendance form.
If there is a legitimate reason for being late (for example, a medical/dental
appointment), present a note from home or a medical card to the
teacher.
No student is to be excused from class during the first or last 10 minutes of
class time.
Students can expect consequences such as detentions or written assignments
from teachers if they are late. If students are chronically late, they will be
referred to one of the Vice Principals.
BEING ON TIME PAYS OFF!
CLOSURE OF SCHOOLS
Parents and students are advised to listen to radio stations CKNW 980, News 1130,
CBC 690, 93.1 FM, Radio India 1600 AM regarding the status of school closures.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES (Cellular phones, etc)
Cellular phones are not to be used inside the school building during instructional
time unless permitted by your teacher. All other electronic devices (i-pods, itouch’s, MP3’s, PS2’s, PSP’s) should be left at home. The school is not
responsible for lost or stolen items.
DISCRIMINATION / RACISM / SEXISM
Any expressions of discrimination or racism will be swiftly and appropriately dealt
with. This may involve suspension from school.
DRESS REGULATIONS / SUITABLE ATTIRE
Students should wear clothing suitable and respectful of a school environment.
Any clothing that depicts violence or discrimination will not be permissible. The
following clothing lines have been deemed inappropriate to wear at the school
and district levels. CROOKS & CASTLES, FCUK (French Connection United
Kingdom) AFFLICTION, ED HARDY, STOMPDOWN, FLICK IT and TAYLOR
GANG. Any students wearing any products of these clothing lines will be told to
turn them inside out or cover them up.
Fleetwood Park Secondary School is a HATS & HOODS OFF school. This
includes baseball caps, toques, headbands, visors and bandanas. This is solely
for safety reasons as it allows school staff to more effectively identify people
who shouldn’t be in our school.
22
EARLY DISMISSAL
In some cases it is necessary for students to leave school before the end of the
school day. If students need to leave school early, they are expected to
advise their teacher, then sign out at the office.
We expect students to provide the office with parent’s or guardian’s written
permission for early dismissal. Students leaving the school without receiving
permission first from the office are considered truant.
FIELD TRIPS
Students will receive a permission form from the sponsoring teacher of the field
trip. Students are responsible for completing this form. The permission form must
be signed by each classroom teacher and parent / guardian. The form will be
given to the student at least one week prior to a field trip and must be returned to
the sponsor teacher. If this form is not in before the day of the field trip, the
student will not be allowed to attend. Study arrangements will be made by the
sponsoring teacher for any student unable to attend a field trip.
FIELD TRIP – EXTENDED (more than 5 days)
Students need written permission from all their classroom teachers and parents
to attend an extended field trip. Students must confer with each teacher as well
as parent/guardian regarding missed assignments. Each student will be
expected to complete missed class work during the trip, and study time will be
allocated for this purpose.
FIRECRACKERS / FIREWORKS
Firecrackers and / or fireworks are not permitted in or around the school building.
It is School Board Policy that students in possession and/or use of
firecrackers and/or fireworks will be suspended.
FIRE ALARMS / DRILLS
When the fire alarm sounds, students are to quietly stand in the aisles, proceed
to the designated exit and assembly area as directed by the teacher. There is to
be no running. Doors should be closed by the last student in line. At the
assembly area, the teacher will take attendance. When the “All Clear” is
sounded, classes will return to their rooms. Any student causing a false fire
alarm will be suspended and may also be referred to legal authorities.
HARRASSMENT / INTIMIDATION/BULLYING
Harassment, intimidation, or bullying will not be tolerated. All persons who
engage in this behavior will be dealt with immediately, will be deprived of the
opportunity to attend school as appropriate, and may face criminal charges.
Harassment involves any unwelcome act or comment that is hurtful, degrading,
humiliating, or offensive to another person. Harassment is any unwanted and/or
inappropriate comment, conduct or action of any nature which has the purpose or
effect of detrimentally affecting the learning environment or leads to adverse
school – related consequences for the victim of harassment.
23
Intimidation is the act of instilling fear in someone as a means of controlling that
person.
PERSONAL PROPERTY AT OWNER’S RISK (VALUABLES)
The District will not accept responsibility for loss, damage, or theft of any article,
including clothing, school supplies, equipment, vehicle or cash not owned by the
school district. Personal property (eg. Ipods, MP3 players, cell phones,
skateboards, jewelry, cash, etc…) brought to or left on school district premises
are at the owner’s risk.
PLAGIARISM AND OTHER FORMS OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Academic honesty is expected of all students. Work submitted by students shall
be original and material taken from any other sources should be identified as
such. Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty will not be
tolerated.
There are different forms of academic dishonesty:
1.
Plagiarism:
knowingly presenting another’s ideas either completely or
partially as one’s own in any writing assignment. Plagiarism includes buying
or ‘borrowing’ an assignment from an individual or the internet and presenting
it as one’s own or having another student do one’s work.
2. Cheating: intentionally using memory aids (“crib sheets” or “Cheat sheets”)
during a test, or deliberately copying answers from another’s paper.
3. Fabrication: deliberately falsifying or inventing any information, such as the
inclusion of a made-up source in an essay or research paper
Students may not turn in work for credit in a course that has also been turned in
for credit in another course, or work that substantially consists of material turned
in for credit in another course.
EXAMPLES OF CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM INCLUDE:
 Using ideas or words from books, magazines, song lyrics, internet or
other resources without giving credit to the source.
 Submitting someone else’s work as your own
 Using unauthorized notes, books, or other materials during an exam
 Taking exams for others
 Obtaining/providing unauthorized information prior to or during an
examination through verbal, visual or unauthorized use of books,
notes and other materials (text messaging)
 Altering or changing answers after the exam has been submitted
 Altering or changing grades after the grades have been awarded
 ‘Borrowing’ homework
 Use of internet translators to complete assignments, unless
authorized by a teacher
 Submitting work completed for another course without the approval
of the teacher
24
 Any other attempt to improve grades using means that have not
been or would not be approved by your teacher.
PUBLIC ADDRESS ANNOUNCEMENTS
P.A. announcements are made during the day. As a matter of courtesy, please
listen quietly. Many items of information are sent to students and teachers by the
P.A. If you are unable to hear announcements, ask your teacher. For daily
announcements, see the T.V. monitors. “O Canada” is broadcast once a week.
SCHOOL TELEPHONES
The school office phones can only be used by students with permission in
emergencies or for special needs.
SCHOOL FUNCTIONS
When attending a school function, even when it is away from the school,
students are expected to demonstrate responsible behavior which is
characteristic of a mature, young adult. School functions include dances, athletic
events, concerts, field trips, and any other activities that are being sponsored by
the school. Students will be made aware of specific rules and expectations
covering these events, and it is their responsibility to follow them. If students are
absent on the day of a school dance, they will not be permitted to attend the
school function but will be refunded the money if a ticket has been purchased for
the event.
