WELCOME
Welcome to Collinsville Schools. We hope the time you spend with us will be
educational and rewarding.
The policies and procedures contained in this handbook are the result of a concerted
effort on the part of the faculty and the administration. This information has been carefully
prepared and presented so that it will be of great value in helping you to adjust to our school,
and become an integral part of it.
The ultimate purpose of education is to help each student become an effective citizen in
a democracy and to develop and accept the responsibilities and obligations of good citizenship
that will help you to participate successfully in the world of tomorrow. Remember that your
success in this school will be directly proportional to your efforts.
ATTENDANCE
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian and student to adhere to these policies. It is
the responsibility of the administration to make these policies readily available. The
administrator in charge shall enforce these policies.
Regular attendance is essential for the student’s promotion and success in school.
A student is absent if he/she misses 20 minutes or more of a class period. Failure to
provide the school with an explanation as required will result in a non-school related absence or
truancy.
CLOSED CAMPUS
The Collinsville Board of Education, in the interest of improving the educational
environment and student safety, has adopted the following policy concerning closed campus.
The building principals must approve visitors to the school building.
1. Students may not leave school premises during the school day except with prior authorization
to the school from the student’s parent or legal guardian.
2. During the lunch period a student’s parent or legal guardian must report to the attendance
office in order to check his/her child out of school for lunch. The student will be required to
leave campus in the parent’s vehicle.
3. Students who are late returning from lunch will be tardy and will be subject to school policy
concerning tardies.
4. Students who leave school premises without parental and administrative authorization may
be subject to discipline, including suspension. Students must follow the proper check out
procedure before leaving campus.
5. Any student who has a medical appointment at lunch will be required to furnish a physician’s
note upon his/her return to campus
DEFINITIONS
Absence Score-The total of the values accumulated as a result of a student’s absences and
truancies.
School Related Absence (SB)-Not present in class due to attending an approved school
related function or activity.
Unexcused Absence (U)-All other absences.
In-school Suspension (ISS)- Not counted against students absences.
Testing (TST)- OCCT, EOI, EXPLORE testing. Not counted against students absences.
Truant (TR)-Absent without permission from teacher, parent/guardian, or school authorities.
Tardiness (T)-Any time a student is not in his/her seat when the tardy bell starts ringing, he/she
shall be charged with a tardy. After 20 minutes, the student is considered absent.
A student will be given an excused tardy if the student comes to class within the first 20
minutes with a note from the principal, counselor, or a teacher. The note must accompany the
student. No student will be allowed to leave the classroom for the purpose of obtaining such a
note once the bell has rung. All tardies without a note will be considered unexcused. The
student may be denied additional time to complete work missed due to the unexcused tardy.
Each student will be allowed three unexcused tardies per semester per class. For tardies four
and five, detention will be assigned. Any amount over five will be considered excessive
tardiness, and the assistant principal will develop an individual discipline plan for the student.
Students are required to report to the office to sign in when arriving after the 7:45 a.m. bell and
sign out when leaving before the 2:35 p.m. bell.
ABSENCES
It is extremely important that students and parents/guardians realize that the absence
score and the absences encompassed by it are not to be considered as authorized days for
absences and must be used with caution. Perfect attendance will be recognized for those
students with zero absences and having three (3) tardies or less per class per year.
Non-School Related Absences: (U) may not exceed nine (9) per semester.
School Related Absences: (SB) should not exceed ten (10) per year.
MAKE-UP WORK POLICY
The general rule is that a student is allowed one day to make up assignments per day
(s) missed. Students who return to school and receive make up work and then are absent again
are expected to submit all previous work upon return to school. Assignments not submitted will
be entered as missing which will calculate as a zero until the assignment has been submitted
and graded. Long term assignments/projects are due on the announced due date. If students
are going to miss more than three days of school, please contact our attendance clerk to
request assignments. If students are given assignments in advance, the assignments are due
upon returning to school. Remember, there is a direct correlation between good student
attendance and academic success.
HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT
Any eighth grade student wishing to receive credit for high school work (1. Earth Science
2. Algebra 3. Financial Literacy), must meet the 90% attendance rate.
ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES
Students are informed of the attendance policy in the fall of each school year, in class
meetings and 24 hour access on-line on the school website. Parents/guardians are informed of
the handbook, by calling the attendance office, on-line using the school website, or by special
notice sent or published in local newspaper.
1. Parents/guardians are expected to call the Middle School on the day of the student’s
absence.
2. Parents/guardians should pre-arrange absences for their students whenever possible, even
though such absences will be scored according to the definitions section of this policy.
3. Absences that are due to a verified hospital stay, contagious disease, funeral of immediate
family member, a doctor’s denial to return to school (Accompanied by a note within two
days) or for religious observation (with advance notice) will not be scored as a Non-School
Related Absence.
4. Students who cannot verify the nature of their absence with a parental contact by phone will
be considered to have a Non-School Related Absence or be truant.
NOTIFICATION
1. A phone call or a letter will notify students and parent/guardian when a student’s absence
score reaches five (5).
2. When the student’s absence score reaches ten (10), the student will not earn credit.

school attended will be obtained, and those absences will be counted toward the 10 points.
Days that students have failed to attend between the withdrawal date from their previous school
and the enrollment date at Collinsville Middle School may also be counted toward the 10 points.

assistance with educational planning, interpretation of test scores, career information, study
help, help with home, school and/or social concerns, or any question the student may feel
he/she would like to discuss with the counselor.

BUS RIDING PRIVILEGES
Students riding school buses will be expected to follow all bus rules as outlined by the
bus driver. As bus riding is a privilege, any student guilty of disobeying the rules may be
suspended from bus riding privileges for a period of time to be determined by the principal. (A
third bus infraction in one semester can result in loss of bus riding privilege.) Parent notes with
principal approval are required for changes in bus riding schedules.
BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Teachers have the initial responsibility for disciplining students. Each time a student is
disciplined with a discipline referral to the office, he or she may receive a specific number of
points based on the severity of the offense. The type of disciplinary procedure will be
dependent on cumulative point totals for the student. In some cases, a student may reach a
higher level of disciplinary consequence immediately, due to the severity of his or her actions.
The principal’s office will have the sole responsibility of tracking student’s point totals. All final
discipline decisions will be at the administrator’s discretion.

All decisions regarding discipline procedures will be made by the school administration.
-Points accumulate for each semester and will start over (return to zero) at the start of the new
semester.
ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL
(Middle School)
The Collinsville Alternative School is designed to provide a quality educational opportunity for
district students who may meet one or more of the following criteria:
1. Pregnancy
2. Students who experience difficulty in controlling inappropriate behavior in the traditional
school setting or suffer from poor discipline and/or attendance.
3. Teens who have dropped out of school due to excessive absences, the necessity to work,
extenuating family circumstances, etc.
4.Students who are at risk of not completing school.
Alternative students are NOT allowed on the middle school campus during the regular school
day, nor are middle school students allowed on the alternative campus during alternative school
hours.
PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE
The principal is the director of the Middle School and is the one who interprets the
policies and the philosophy under which the school operates. This office is designed to help
both students and teachers regarding the general policies of the school and with any problems
that require guidance and direction.
A school calendar, which contains a complete schedule of all dates of school activities,
is maintained in the Principal’s Office. In order to avoid conflicts, any teacher or student who
wants to schedule an activity must do so through this office.

CHECKING ATTENDANCE
The school will begin checking during 2nd hour with parents of students who have been
counted absent. Truancy will be considered sufficient grounds for suspension.
REPORT CARDS AND SPECIAL REPORTS
Each six weeks progress reports are available on-line to parents. This report is to
acquaint the parents with the student’s academic achievement. Parents are invited to make an
appointment with teachers and the counselor.
Each semester, report cards are available on-line to keep the parents in touch with the work the
students are doing in school. Parents are requested to examine those report cards. If grades
are not satisfactory, or if there is any misunderstanding about the grade cards, an interview with
the teacher or counselor or both is highly desirable and will be appreciated.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
Students will have the first 5 days of each semester to request schedule changes. After
this time, a parent/guardian must accompany the student to school to request any schedule
changes.
ASSEMBLIES
Through assemblies we share experiences and become better citizens of the world by
listening to our fellow students, civic leaders, speakers, and various entertainers. A wellplanned and well-conducted assembly is an outstanding part of any school’s activities.
Assemblies will be held throughout the school year, and quiet, orderly conduct and extreme
courtesy to all speakers and entertainers are expected of each student.
TORNADO AND FIRE DRILLS
Each room should have displayed on the bulletin board regulations and routes to be
taken in evacuating the building during a fire or fire drills and procedures to follow for protection
during tornadoes or during tornado drills. Early in the school year students should become
familiar with these procedures.
DAMAGE TO SCHOOL PROPERTY
Students are expected to respect all school property at all times. Any student who
defaces public property shall be compelled to reimburse the district for the amount of damage.
Other disciplinary action may also be taken.
ELIGIBILITY POLICY
The student must be passing all subjects he/she is enrolled in during each semester. If
a student is not passing all subjects enrolled in on the day of the grade check, he/she will be
placed on probation for the next one-week period. If a student is still failing one or more classes
during the next week on the grade check day, he/she will be ineligible to participate during the
next one-week period. The ineligibility periods will begin on Monday and end on Sunday.
(O.S.S.A.A.)
GUM CHEWING
Careless disposal of gum in drinking fountains, furniture, and floors presents sanitation
and cleaning problems, and costly repair. Therefore, gum chewing is not permitted.
SMOKING
Students will not be allowed to smoke, chew, or have in their possession any form of
tobacco products or paraphernalia on school grounds or in the school buildings.
SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS
Our school is fortunate in having capable people to help us whenever our regular
teachers are ill or are attending conferences. A substitute teacher is an important visitor whose
impressions of our school will be carried into the community. Let us be certain that these are
good impressions by being polite, helpful, and considerate as you would be to your regular
teacher.
BAD WEATHER SCHEDULE
The School Board has determined that the Superintendent of Schools must make the
decision if school is to be changed from a normal school day due to bad weather.
Check on the web at www.collinsville.k12.ok.us for school closings. Parents that sign up
for Student Messenger will receive a phone call/text regarding school closing.
In case of severe weather, the official announcement for school closings may be heard
over the radio and T.V. stations. Listen to these stations: KVOO Radio (1170 AM) and KJRH
(Channel 2). Please do not call the school.
PROPER CONDUCT IN BUILDING AND ON CAMPUS
Strolling arm in arm, holding hands in buildings and on grounds will not be tolerated. To
save embarrassment to students and teachers alike, these rules must be followed. Students
are not allowed to sit in cars on the parking lot during the school day.
LOST AND FOUND
All articles found are turned in to the office. If you have the misfortune to lose books,
jewelry, pens, etc., ask about them in the Principal’s Office.
INSURANCE
There will be available through the school a student accident insurance policy. The
policy can provide 24-hour protection or at-school protection, whichever you prefer.
Participation in the insurance program is purely voluntary, but it is encouraged, particularly if the
parents have no definite family policy that provides coverage. The school will not be
responsible for collection of the policy.
LOCKERS
Each student will be assigned his/her own individual locker at the beginning of the
school year. Locker assignments are for the entire year, and exchanging of lockers is not
permitted. Pupils are warned not to leave articles of value or money in their lockers. Valuables
may be left in the office for safekeeping, but must be picked up at the end of the school day. All
students are urged to have combination locks on their lockers.
USE OF TELEPHONE
Students will be called to the office telephone during class period only in case of
emergency. Parents are asked not to call/text students on their cell phone during school
hours. If you need to reach your child please call the main office. Cell phones are to remain
put away and turned off during the school day. (unless authorized and approved by the building
principal.) They may be used only after school or in the unlikely event of a disaster.
BULLETINS FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE
Daily announcements are made during 2nd hour at the M.S. The message should be
clear and definite, in order to prevent any misunderstanding. Announcements concerning
activities should be cleared through the class or activity sponsor.
HALL PASSES
No student should leave a classroom during class periods without a hall pass. The
teacher who excuses the student should issue this pass.
WHO OWNS THIS SCHOOL?
Surprisingly, you do! Your parents and all taxpayers are legally required to pay taxes
that build and maintain the public school system. Everyone pays taxes in one form or another.
Therefore, any damage done to this building, equipment, buses or books must be paid for with
your own family’s money. It is not enough that you should refrain from doing anything to
increase this cost to your parents, neighbors and yourself, but you must help protect the school
by discouraging or reporting such activity by any others. Remember, most trouble starts as fun!
