Pass/Fail Grades
Pass/Fail Grades (for regular classes, NOT teacher aides) will only be granted
on a limited basis. An administrator, counselor, teacher, parent, and student need to
meet to discuss the situation that has occurred that may merit a P/F grade rather than the
academic grade earned. This decision must be made at the BEGINNING of a quarter,
with administrative approval, and will NOT be made during a quarter or at the end of a
quarter.
This policy does not include Home and Hospital students, or other students
who may have an extremely unique extenuating circumstance (i.e. educational
opportunity that takes them out of school for a longer period of time).

Dear parents of a 12th grade student for the 2012-13 school year:
Each spring we have an increasing amount of senior students who find it difficult to
finish out their senior year and receive passing grades in order to graduate. District policy states
that any senior with failing grades in any classes, regardless of whether or not those classes’
credits are needed to complete the 27.5 required credits to receive a diploma, may not be
allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony. These students will forfeit their opportunity
to participate in their graduation and will only have their diplomas mailed to them after
graduation if they are failing classes during 4th quarter of their senior year.
During quarters 1, 2 or 3 of their senior year, seniors may have failed a course and
proceed to do a makeup packet. Please note that even by completing a .5 credit make up packet
for a previous quarter’s .25 failing grade, that the remaining .25 credit will not be applied to a
future quarter’s English grade. This for example, means that a senior who makes up .5 English
for a 2nd quarter F will not be able to skip 4th quarter English class, receive an F, and have the
remaining .25 credit count for that F. These .25 credits will be applied only as elective credit to
a student’s transcript. And in a rare exception, may only count toward a 4th quarter English class
F if the senior student is attending daily and on time through th quarter until graduation and
making a persistent and concerted effort in that English class to pass.
By signing the bottom of this form, you acknowledge that you are aware that your
senior student may be prohibited from participating in graduation ceremonies, regardless of
amount of credits earned, if they are failing th quarter classes. You also acknowledge that make
up packet credits are not applied directly to 4th quarter English failing grades or other failing
grades unless granted an exception per the administration due to the student’s persistent and
consistent efforts in current classes.
We want all senior students to complete their educational experience here in good
standing and with strong academic grades. We hope that by making you aware of this policy,
you will encourage your senior student to finish out the senior year with the same commitment

to excellence.

Updated June 2012
Transportation Liability Protection
In an effort to respond to liability issues surrounding the transportation of students to and
from school-sponsored activities. Riverton High School requires one of the following three
options be implemented anytime and every time students need to be transported away
from the school for a school-sponsored activity:
OPTION #1
Arrangements can be made through the assistant principal, to have a district bus transport
students to and from the activity. If this option is chosen, advisors need to make sure a
parent or guardian has signed the registration card in attendance office giving permission
for each student to ride on a district bus. Also, adult advisors need to ride the bus.
Requests for district buses should be submitted at least two weeks before the date
needed. The school recognizes only one bus is available per school d11 for activities
before 4 p.m. unless other special arrangements can be made with the district
transportation department.
OPTION #2
Privately owned vehicles can be used to transport students to and from school sponsored
activities provided both the drive and the passengers sign district Waiver of Liability and
Disclaimer forms. These forms are available in the Attendance Office. There is a different
form for the passenger and the driver. These forms require parent, participant, and
administrator signatures and must be kept on file by the advisor. These forms must be
filled out completely and accurately. If these forms are not completely and accurately
filled out, the advisor or coach will incur a high personal liability risk in the event of a
transportation accident.
OPTION #3
If a student participates in an organized activity which occurs more than once but where
regularly scheduled district bus transportation is not practical or available (such as for golf,
tennis, cheerleading, debate, drama, etc.); and subsequently where the parent or
guardian is responsible for the student’s arrival to and return from the activity, the Jordan
School District’s Waiver of Liability and Disclaimer form for the passenger should be
signed by the student participant’s parent and kept on file by the coach or advisor. When
Updated June 2012
the form asks for the dates and times of the activities, write “see back of form” or “see
attached copy.” On the back of the form, hand write or attach a photocopy of the activity
schedule including all applicable dates, times, and events. If a particular vehicle and driver
will be used on a regular or repeated basis, use the Waiver of Liability and Disclaimer
form for the driver, again indicating all applicable dates and times on the back of the form.
To help provide protection from liability in the event of an accident, it is VITAL for faculty,
coaches, supervisors, and advisors to strictly adhere to these transportation requirements

Student Dress & Conduct
JORDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT
Statement of . . .
POLICY
Number: AA419
Effective: 5/14/74
Revision: 12/7/04
SUBJECT: Student Conduct and Dress
I. Board Policy
Jordan District schools are to provide a safe, wholesome, healthy educational environment
where academic learning, personal development, and a sense of pride and accomplishment
can flourish. Part of the educational process is learning self discipline and appropriate
behavior. Therefore, it is the policy of the Board to enforce all Utah laws related to conduct
on school premises and school buses and to see that students are taught to preserve public
property including all school facilities and equipment.
The Board also recognizes that dress and grooming seriously affect the behavior of
students attending school and may also impact sanitation and safety conditions. Because
experience has demonstrated that the learning atmosphere is improved when students both
look and act appropriately, the Board hereby authorizes establishment of standards of
student conduct, dress, and grooming.
The Board delegates to the Administration responsibility to see that each school adheres to
the conduct, dress, and grooming standards established by the Board in the guidelines of
this policy. Further, all district and school staff members shall have a share of
responsibility in seeing that these standards are implemented and enforced in classrooms,
in school buildings, on school grounds, on school buses, at school activities, and other
occasions as appropriate.
II. Administration Policy
The Administration shall implement Board policy according to the following guidelines:
Guidelines
A. Student Conduct
1. Classroom Behavior
Students shall conduct themselves in a manner that contributes to a productive learning
atmosphere for themselves and their classmates. Students are expected to be attentive,
Updated June 2012
cooperative, and industrious while in the classroom. Students who habitually disrupt or
destroy the learning atmosphere shall be disciplined according to the procedures
established in Policy AS67—Discipline of Students.
2. Behavior at Assemblies and Activities
Assemblies and activities shall be considered special student privileges where participation
is contingent upon appropriate behavior. Students shall show respect to all performers.
Students who disturb, disrupt, or show disrespect shall lose the privilege of attending and
may be subjected to disciplinary action as outlined in Policy AS67—Discipline of Students
and School Exclusions.
3. Protection and Care of School Property
Students shall be expected to use school equipment and facilities appropriately and to
behave in such a way that school property is preserved and protected. Students may be
disciplined for improper use or treatment of school facilities and/or equipment.
4. Behavior at Competitive Events
Students are expected to demonstrate sportsmanship at all competitive events and to
conduct themselves according to the rules of fair play both as spectators and participants.
While healthy competition is encouraged, cheating or rude and disruptive conduct shall not
be tolerated.
5. Patriotism and Respect for the Flag
The Flag of the United States of America shall be appropriately displayed at all schools in
keeping with customary and accepted practices. Students shall show proper respect for
their country's emblem. Instruction should include the frequent repeating of the Pledge of
Allegiance by students and teachers. Discourteous treatment of the flag or other national
symbols shall be cause for disciplinary action.
6. Use of Alcohol, Tobacco, Narcotics, and Drugs
Student use or possession of alcohol, tobacco, narcotics, and drugs is prohibited by law.
Students who break the law shall be disciplined according to the guidelines set forth in
Policy AS90--Drugs and Alcohol.
7. Cellular Telephones
Possession of a cellular telephone by a student is a privilege that may be forfeited by any
student that uses their cell phone inappropriately. A student who possesses a cellular phone
shall assume responsibility for its care. At no time shall the District be responsible for
preventing theft, loss or damage to cell phones brought onto school property. Cellular
telephone use during classroom time, instructional activities and field trips is prohibited.
Cellular telephones must remain off during these times. Exceptions to this policy may be
granted by school administration on a case by case basis to accommodate family
emergencies or medical necessity. Students violating these guidelines will be disciplined in
accordance with District Policy AS 67 Discipline of Students.
8. Electronic Devices
Any use of an electronic device that exploits personal information, disrupts the educational
process, invades personal privacy or
compromises the integrity of educational programs is strictly prohibited. Students violating
these guidelines will be disciplined in
accordance with District policy AS67—Discipline of Students.
B. Dangerous or Disruptive Conduct
Students who engage in dangerous or disruptive conduct, including bringing any weapon
Updated June 2012
or facsimile of a weapon to school, committing arson, burglary, larceny, criminal mischief,
battery or assault, or who engage in activities which violate federal, state or local laws,
shall be excluded from school. (See Policy AS67—Discipline of Students.
C. School Dress and Grooming
Students shall dress in a manner that shows respect for the educational environment and is
befitting the day’s activities. Students’ clothing and jewelry must not present a health or
safety hazard or distraction, which would disrupt the educational mission. Disruption is
defined as reactions by other individuals to the clothing or adornment, which causes the
teacher/ administrator to lose the attention of the students, to modify or cease instructional
activities, or to deal with student confrontations or complaints.
1. Items that disrupt the educational mission shall not be allowed. Personal items such
as clothing, paraphernalia, jewelry, backpacks, fanny packs, gym bags, water bottles, etc.,
shall be free of writing, pictures, or any other insignias, which are crude, vulgar, profane,
violent, or sexually suggestive.
2. Items which bear advertising, promotions and likeness of tobacco, alcohol, or drugs
or which are contrary to the educational mission, shall not be allowed.
3. All students shall maintain their hair, mustaches, sideburns, and beards in a clean,
well-groomed manner. Hair, which is so conspicuous, extreme, odd in color or style that it
draws undue attention, disrupts, or tends to disrupt or interfere with the learning
atmosphere at the school, shall not be allowed.
4. All students shall wear clean clothing. Clothing, jewelry, accessories and piercings
which are so conspicuous, extreme, or odd that they may draw undue attention, disrupt, or
tend to disrupt, interfere with or pose a health or safety issue to the learning atmosphere at
the school, shall not be allowed.
5. Students shall not wear clothes that are mutilated, cut off, or immodest, e.g., short
shorts, mini skirts, bare midriffs, halter-tops, spaghetti straps, tank shirts, or similar
clothing. Clothing shall cover the midriff, underwear, backs, and cleavage at all times.
Skirts, dresses and shorts must be at least mid-thigh length or longer when seated.
6. Students shall comply with the laws that govern wearing military uniforms and
insignias ( Title 10, USC §771-772, and Army Regulation 670-1 §29-4).
7. Hats of any kind are not allowed within the building except as part of an approved
activity, or for religious, or medical purposes.
8. School officials may require students to wear certain types of clothing for health or
safety reasons in connection with certain specialized activities.
9. Gang-related clothing, colors, and paraphernalia shall not be allowed in schools or
activities. School officials will determine what constitutes “gang” clothing, colors, and
paraphernalia after consultation with law enforcement agencies as needed.
10. Shoes shall be worn at all times that ensure personal safety and hygiene.
D. School Dress and Grooming—Graduation
In order to maintain dignity and decorum at high school commencements, students
participating in commencement exercises are subject to the dress and grooming standards
articulated in section C of this policy and wear the prescribed cap and gown during the
ceremony* without additional ornamentation or decoration. Personal items such as
clothing, accessories or jewelry, that draw undue attention or detract from the dignity and
decorum of the occasion shall not be allowed. Mantles, cords, insignias or medals
Updated June 2012
signifying achievement, honor or recognition are restricted to awards issued and approved
for display at graduation by the local high school.
* “During the ceremony” refers to the entire duration of the commencement program, from
opening processional to completion of the recessional.
These policies have been developed and approved by the Jordan School District Board of Education for
exclusive use within Jordan School District. Any use by a person or organization outside of Jordan School
District is not authorized by the school district. Jordan School District bears no responsibility for such
unauthorized use or adaptation of the policies of Jordan School District. Any party copying or revising these
policies for its own use does so at its own risk and responsibility as to applicability and legal sufficiency.

Attendance Information and Forms
RIVERTON HIGH SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE POLICY
At Riverton High School we, the participants and patrons, exemplify an environment of mutual
respect and cooperation, a commitment to excellence in all endeavors, and the encouragement of
positive character traits. The Jordan School District requires that all children achieve mastery in
the basic skills, and any absence from school interferes with the child’s opportunity to master
these skills. In an effort to increase student success, to prepare students for attendance
expectations in their future careers, and to exemplify our commitment to excellence, Riverton
High School has established the following attendance policy.
Riverton High School is committed to academic excellence and understands that learning

Updated June 2012
ATTENDANCE
To earn credit, a student must be in class a minimum of 90% of the days of the quarter (20 of
approximately 23 possible class periods per quarter). If a student has four (4) or more
excused absences(s) or three (3) or more tardies per class per quarter that are not made-up,
the student will receive no grade (NG) for the quarter grade in that class. All absences and
tardies that are not made-up will result in no grade for the quarter grade in that class.
Parents/guardians may excuse up to three (3) absences per class per quarter where a valid
excuse for an absence exists. Absences must be excused within 5 days of the absence.
Excused absences in excess of three must be “made-up” at attendance school in order to
receive credit. All unexcused absences and truancies must be made up at attendance
school in order to avoid loss of course credit.
Students who have not met the attendance requirement but have received a passing grade
will receive “no grade” (NG) if the excessive absences/tardies are not made up or excused
through the review process. NG is not available to students who failed academically; those
students will receive an F grade regardless of their attendance. An (NG) differs from an F in
that NG does not figure into the student’s overall GPA. However, both NG and F result in loss
of credit. For athletic eligibility purposes, student government, and other programs that have
a minimum GPA requirement, NG is counted as a failing grade.

Students released from their regular classes in order to participate in school
approved, extra curricular activities are not considered absent.

Absences due to suspensions or confinement in county detention do not need to be
made up. However assignments from each class must be made up according to
individual teachers’ disclosures.

The “make-up” of excessive absences or tardies in attendance school does not excuse
students from completing the class work and assignments missed during the
absences(s). Make up of the missed work is subject to requirements outlined in
individual teachers’ disclosures.

Excessive absences may also result in suspension, and/or referral to Jordan School
District Truancy School and Juvenile Court for non-compliance with Utah Compulsory
Education Law (Utah Code 53A-11-101).
Updated June 2012
EDUCATIONAL/VACATION LEAVE
Jordan School District allows students to make application to an administrator to miss up to
ten school days of each year for prior-approved education/vacation release. These priorapproved release days will not contribute to the accumulated total of absences. Forms are
available in the attendance office and must be picked up at least two days prior to the
absence. Students may take no more than ten (10) prior-approved education/vacation
release absences per year without having to complete make-up sessions. On the block
schedule, an education/vacation leave absence of ten (10) consecutive days equates to five
(5) absences in each class (five A-day absences and five B-day absences).
ACCESS
Riverton High School provides computerized attendance information updated daily to assist
parents/guardians and students. Students and parents/guardians may check class grades and
attendance records through Skyward. A link is provided at www.rivertonhigh.com. In
addition, parent/guardians may check attendance by calling 256-5810 between 7:00 a.m. and
2:45 p.m.
ATTENDANCE SCHOOL AND AVOIDING LOSS OF CREDIT
On the fourth excused absence or third tardy and every subsequent absence or tardy per
class, per quarter, students will be required to complete a session of attendance school to
make up the missing class time. A student must attend a session for absences that are not
represented by the following codes: C, E, D, H, N, S and V, J, K, X, Y, (refer to chart for code
definitions). All truancies and unexcused absences must be made up by completing
attendance school. Attendance school sessions will be offered after school on designated
days with some Saturday sessions available. All absences and tardies must be made up by
the end of the quarter. Students will be required to attend double time for any attendance
school past the deadline. Double time will require double pay. To avoid any problems it is
strongly suggested that the student make up the time within two (2) weeks of the occurrence.
Absences occurring during the last week of the quarter must be made up during the first
week of the following quarter. An attendance school schedule will be available from the
attendance office. Students must sign up for attendance school by paying in the main office
and must present a receipt when they arrive at attendance school. The goal is to have makeup sessions subject specific, so tutoring help can be given. Students should select the subject
they wish to attend, or they will be assigned a general make-up session.
Updated June 2012
For admittance into attendance school, students must have a ticket for that day and session,
picture I.D. and schoolwork in their possession. No food, drink, electronic device or any other
disruptive items will be permitted in the attendance session area. Riverton High School rules
including the dress code will be enforced in each session. Sessions will start promptly.
Students arriving late will lose the opportunity to attend the session. A student that is
disruptive, as determined by the teacher, during attendance school will be removed from that
session of attendance school and will forfeit the money and time for that session. Failure to
make up absences or tardies will result in an “NG” - no grade for the class.

TEACHER MAKE-UP
Teachers who desire to do so may allow students the opportunity to make up absences by
attending special make-up sessions in their own classes. Teacher initiated make-up hours are
allowed only for the class of the teacher providing make-up; hours are not transferable to
another teacher. The assigned work must be academic in nature (no service work). Teachers
who desire to arrange a service project for attendance school credit should get prior approval
from one of the assistant principals. The student purchases and brings the Attendance School
ticket to the teacher. The teacher turns in the record of completion to the Attendance Office.
Teachers setting up their own make-up sessions are not paid for the time spent supervising
the tutoring.
*Make-up hours required for absences and tardies in these individual teacher sessions
are the same as outlined for make-up in Attendance School.
ABSENCE REVIEW PROCESS
Students and their parents/guardians may appeal to the Absence Review Committee
to waive or reduce the make-up requirement for absences in excess of the three
allowed per class per quarter. Reviews are reserved for uncontrollable attendance
issues, i.e., physician-verifiable illness, bereavement, court appearances, verified
emergencies, etc. The waiving of a student’s attendance obligations through the
absence review process is infrequent. In the case of chronic, pre-existing, or extended
unforeseen health conditions, an assistant principal can waive the review process and
Updated June 2012
excuse absences. This requires that the student or parent/guardian be in regular
contact with their assistant principal.
To be considered, reviewed absences must meet the following criteria:
 Absences must have been parent/guardian-excused (indicating parent/guardian


knowledge of the absences and appropriate school notification) within five (5) school
days of the student’s return to school.
Verification by a physician may be required for absences due to illness, where
absences are excessive. The excuse must be date specific.
An explanation of why the absences are being appealed must be verified by a parent.
Absence review submission deadline schedules and absence review forms will be available in
the attendance office. The review forms must be signed by a parent. The Absence Review
Committee will not rule favorably on the following: verified truancies, leaving school without
checking out properly; unverified illness where absence is excessive; educational leave taken
without prior approval; chronic tardiness; or absences not excused by a parent/guardian at
the time of the absence or within five (5) school days of the student’s return to school.
Check In/Check Out
Once a student has been to school and needs to leave for any reason, it is imperative that the
student checks out through the attendance office. All checkouts must be confirmed directly
with parent/guardian contact by telephone or in person at the time of checkout or prior to
checkout. A parent/guardian should contact the attendance office early in the day to arrange
a student’s checkout. Computer generated check out slips will be available for students to
pick up in the attendance office between his/her first hour class break. Students are required
to pick up the checkout slips from the attendance office during a class break.
Students leaving school without following proper checkout procedure will be considered
truant. First and fifth period students arriving within the first 10 minutes of class must go
directly to their class. The first hour teachers record the attendance. If students enter
campus after first hour classes or more than 10 minutes late, they must check-in through the
attendance office. They will be given a check-in slip with the date, time, and reason for the
check-in to be given to the current teacher. The codes of O (check out) and I (check in) will
count as half an absence. These codes will be made up in attendance school. It will be the
same penalty as a T (tardy), 30 minutes and $2.00 each when over the limit.
ATTENDANCE DEFINITIONS
A student is considered absent from school or from a class any time he/she is not present.

2:25 p.m. are considered part of the regular school day. Students are required to be at the
Updated June 2012
activity or in a school supervised alternate area during that time. If a student needs to leave
school for any reason during the school day, he/she is required to check out through the
attendance office using proper check out procedure. (See Check In/Check Out)
Unexcused absence: Student is absent and (1) the school receives no information explaining
the absence or (2) the reason given for the absence is one that is not accepted by the school,
truancy court, or state law as a valid excuse for missing school, i.e. going out to lunch, skiing,
sleeping in, babysitting, shopping, etc. Students who come to class after the (10) minute tardy
period are marked way late
Excused absence: The absence is excused when the parent/guardian has notified the school
of an illness. Physician or dental appointment, bereavement, court appearance, or, in rare
cases a family emergency or special religious observance. In cases where absences become
excessive, the administration may require a physician note to verify illness.
Tardy: The student comes to class late up to ten (10) minutes after the bell rings. A student is
tardy when he/she is not sitting at the desk ready to work when the bell rings, as determined
by the teacher.
Make-up absence or tardy: The student attended Attendance School for the prescribed
amount of time to help make up for time and instruction lost due to an absence or tardy.
Truancy: Either parents/guardians or the school are not aware of the student’s absence or the
student did not follow proper checkout procedure. Parents/guardians, police, or school
personnel verified the student’s absence as truancy.
Excessive Absences: Twenty (20) or more class absences per quarter (cumulative across all
classes) or five (5) or more absences in any one class. The state indicates that excessive
absences are one or more missed classes per week for traditional school, with each class being
held everyday.
Activity Absences: Students participating in activities that do not involve the entire student
body will be excused by an administratively approved Activity Release form. Students are not
penalized for the absence, but must make-up assigned work per teacher’s disclosure
statement. If a student begins to accumulate excessive activity absences, the teacher should
submit a referral to the appropriate assistant principal.
Suspensions: The suspended student is counted present on attendance records and cannot be
penalized for nonattendance on days of suspension. Make-up work must be provided for
suspended students. Work must be completed within the time requirements of the individual
teacher.

RIVERTON HIGH SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE POLICY SUMMARY
Students with an unexcused absences, four (4) or more excused absences
per class per quarter, or three (3) or more tardies per class per quarter will
not receive credit for that class unless attendance school make-up time is
completed.
Approved School Activity absences and Educational/Vacation Release (10
days max per year) are not counted toward the absences allowed per
quarter. However the student must make up any assigned work missed in
those classes.
For admittance into attendance school, students must have a ticket for the
correct day and session, picture I.D. and schoolwork in their possession. No
food, drink, electronic device or any other disruptive items will be permitted
in the attendance session area. A student that is disruptive, as determined
by the teacher, during attendance school will be removed from that session
of attendance school and will forfeit the money and time for that session.
Students arriving late will lose the opportunity to attend the session.
Riverton High School rules including the dress code will be enforced in each
session.
Tickets admitting a student to a make-up session are purchased only in the
main office and are presented when entering the make-up session. All
absences or tardies that occur during the first half of the quarter must be made
up before mid-term. AU absences and tardies that occur after mid-term must be
made up by the end of the quarter. To avoid any problems it is strongly suggested
that the student make up the time within two (2) weeks of the occurrence.
Absences occurring during the last week of the quarter must be made up
during the first week of the following quarter. An absence review committee
is provided for extenuating circumstances.

SUBJECT: Student Attendance and Teacher Disclosure Statements
I. Board Policy
The Board of Education recognizes that regular student attendance at school
facilitates academic achievement by maximizing the interaction between students
and teachers. The Board also recognizes that regular student attendance at school
is mandated by Utah Compulsory Attendance Law 53A-11-101 which requires
students between the ages of six and 18 to attend school and is critical if schools
are to meet the accountability standards set by federal and state legislation.
The Board, therefore, delegates to the local school administration the responsibility
to develop school guidelines and procedures that promote regular student
attendance. The school’s responsibility is to encourage and help students develop
positive attendance habits that will enhance opportunities for future success.
II. Administration Policy
Frequent absences of students from the day-to-day classroom experiences disrupt
the instructional process. The benefits of instruction, once lost, cannot be entirely
regained. The process of education requires a continuity of instruction, class
participation, learning experience, and study. Therefore, the local school will make
every effort within the following guidelines, to encourage regular attendance for all
students and to assist parents in their responsibility to have their children attend
school regularly.
Guidelines
Parents/guardians have primary responsibility for regular student attendance at
school. School staff and students also share in that responsibility.
Updated June 2012
Students are expected to be in attendance every school day in order to receive
maximum benefit from their education experiences. If a student is legitimately
absent from class, it is his/her responsibility to contact the teacher regarding makeup work. If a student is tardy for class, it is his/her responsibility to contact the
school office, teacher, or utilize any other established school procedure so that an
unexcused absence is not assessed. It is also a student’s responsibility to obtain a
checkout slip from the office when he/she must leave during the school day.
Parents/guardians are expected to ensure that their children attend school regularly
and arrive on time. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to notify school
officials of legitimate absences. The parent/guardian must telephone the office to
confirm a checkout prior to the student’s leaving during the school day.
Classroom teachers are required to record and verify daily student attendance. The
individual school/teacher will, where appropriate, develop grading and credit
guidelines that promote attendance, class participation, and academic
achievement.
Administrators shall work cooperatively with students, parents/guardians, teachers,
and school guidance personnel to improve student attendance. Administrators
shall use earnest and persistent effort, including parent notification, to deter
excessive and unexcused student absences.
Each school, in cooperation with the community, shall develop a schoolwide
attendance plan that complies with state and District policies. Development of a
schoolwide attendance plan shall include use of research findings, faculty and staff
consensus, community input, and involve the respective Area Assistant
Superintendent. The schoolwide attendance plan shall guide the development of
disclosure statements (in secondary schools) and include:
A rationale for the importance of attendance,
Responsibilities for students, parents, classroom teachers, and school
administrators,
Procedures for managing attendance issues, i.e., illness, check in/out, school
activity absences, etc.,
An acceptable range of school and teacher consequences for unexcused absences
and tardies,
Guidelines for making up work,
Other pertinent information that addresses local school attendance needs.
School principals shall submit the school wide attendance plan annually to their
respective Area Administrator of Schools for review and approval.
Updated June 2012
Secondary school teachers shall develop a disclosure statement for each course in
compliance with District and school guidelines.
All disclosure statements must receive administrative approval prior to distribution
to students and parents.
Disclosure statements shall include, but are not limited to, grading expectations for
three basic components: (a) assessments, (b) assignments, and (c) classroom
attendance and participation.
Procedures and timelines shall be established for making up work and earning
points/credit missed due to a legitimate absence. Legitimate absences are defined
as: verified illness, medical appointments, bereavement, court appearances,
emergencies, pre-approved educational leave, and special family or religious
events
Students shall be allowed to make up work and earn points/credit missed due to
administratively approved school activity absences. Students shall also be allowed
to make up work and earn points/credit missed for legitimate absences as listed in
C3.
All students shall receive disclosure statements for all classes on or before the fifth
day of enrollment in the course. Parents and students shall be encouraged to return
signed disclosure statements in a timely manner, typically two to four days.
Teachers are encouraged to award points/credit for the return of signed disclosure
statements within the established time frame.
These policies have been developed and approved by the Jordan School District
Board of Education for exclusive use within Jordan School District. Any use by a
person or organization outside of Jordan School District is not authorized by the
school district. Jordan School District bears no responsibility for such
unauthorized use or adaptation of the policies of Jordan School District. Any party
copying or revising these policies for its own use does so at its own risk and
responsibility as to applicability and legal sufficiency.

Attendance Office
First of the Year Teacher Instructions
Student Count/Enrollment: We are required to turn in an enrollment or student
count to the Jordan School District office on the first and fifth days of school. This
count needs to be turned in to the Attendance office. Please be accurate! If a student
is on your roll but not in class, please ask the students if they know where that
student is attending for the year, and notify the Attendance office on the back of
your student count. The Attendance office needs to account for every student.
Positions at Riverton High School depend on the accuracy of this count.
-
• Taking Roll: Teachers should take roll every period. The State Auditors are
concerned that some teachers are not taking roll. They are able to observe if a
teacher is taking roll on a daily basis.
• Students Not on Your Roll: Do not allow students to attend class if they are not on
Skyward rolls. You will not be able to give them a grade or take attendance until the
correction is made. Please send them to their counselor to correct their schedule.
• Excessive Absence/No Show: If a student is on the rolls but not attending class, or
has excessive absences, please notify the Attendance office as soon as possible. We
need to notify parents.
• Emergency Button: There is an emergency button in every classroom. This button is
for emergency use only. Do not use this button for routine messages. The office
procedure is to assist the emergency caller immediately.
Forms
The following forms are located in the Attendance office under the north end of the front
counter.
•
Activity Excuse List

• Moving Class to a Different Location: If teachers take their class to a different
location, always leave a note on the door indicating the location where the class can
be found. It is difficult for the offices to locate teachers or their students when they
are not in their regular classroom.
Updated June 2012
Riverton High School
Attendance Procedures for Teachers
Teacher Codes
Attendance is to be marked every period.
There are three attendance codes that teachers can use.
A - absent
T - tardy (within 10 minutes late)
W - Past 10 minute tardy
Note: The District has not provided a code for the teachers to record truancy. If you are
aware that a student is cutting class mark them with the code of “A” on your
computer. For it to be recorded as truancy, you will need to notify the Attendance
office with a truancy note so the absence can be changed to the truancy code of
‘Z’.
Attendance Corrections:
Teachers can make their own attendance corrections from absent to tardy, or present to
absent.
Check-in/Checkouts
Students late to school are to go directly to their classes’ 1st or 5th periods. If they come to
school after 7:35 they will be required to check in at the Attendance office. The student
will receive a computer-generated check-in note with time and date.
Parents/guardians must contact the office personnel to check out their student. The
office will complete the computer generated check out form to be picked up by the
student during break and prior to the check out time. The student will then present the
check out slip to the appropriate teacher and be allowed to promptly leave the school.
Suspended
We are required to provide homework for suspended students.
Vacation Release
Students are allowed up to ten days a year for vacation release. A student planning to be
on vacation must complete and return a Vacation Release form to the Attendance office
before going on vacation. Students must turn in completed homework upon their return
to school.
Updated June 2012
Sick Students
Please send students who are ill to the Attendance office with a note. We will allow them
to call a parent and check out. We do not encourage students to remain in the sickroom
for long periods of time. Our goal is to send them home or have parents get the students
to professional healthcare providers.
Parent Request for Homework
There are times when parents request homework for ill children. A student should be
absent three or more days before the Attendance office will request homework for
students. It may be helpful if teachers give the student a few days to make up missed
work. The Attendance office will print a note from Skyward requesting homework. A
parent can also request their student’s homework through e-mail. The Attendance office
will continue to encourage the parents to use Skyward,
Home and Hospital
Students are allowed to be on Home and Hospital if they are going to be absent from
school for 10 or more days for medical reasons. Teachers are required by the District to
prepare assignments for students who are unable to attend regular school.
Activity Excused List
When a teacher needs to excuse a group of students for an activity, they must fill out an
activity form listing the students. The teacher will give the form to an administrator for a
signature. The administrator will approve and sign the form. Two days prior to the activity
the teacher will give a copy of the excused list of students to the Attendance office. The
supervising teacher will also make a copy for each of the students to give to their other
teachers allowing the student time to get assignments so they do not fall behind in other
classes.
If you are taking your students on a fieldtrip you also need to fill out the, “Field
Experience Planning Guide.”
Updated June 2012

Finances
Guidelines for Handling Finances for Riverton High School
To insure the proper handling of school funds by all school personnel and to satisfy
requisite auditing processes, all Riverton High School organizations (clubs, classes,
teams, etc.) are required to follow ALL of the following guidelines:
1. All students with money to deposit into any school organization are to give that
money directly to the main office, indicating to the secretary receiving the money
which account the money is to be credited to and exactly what it is for. Students
depositing money will be given a receipt showing the amount of the deposit and the
organization being credited. Students can then show this receipt to their organization’s
advisor to verify the deposit made.
2. Faculty members are NOT to collect money from students for any reason.
3. Absolutely NO money is to be kept in the classroom or anywhere else in the school
except the designated secure location in the main office.
4. All money collected by the main office is deposited in a bank on the same day the
money is collected. Money collected after regular school hours will be locked in the
school vault in the main office and deposited on the next school day.
5. Riverton High School will accept personal checks for the exact amount only. No
change will be given. All checks need to be made out to Riverton High School and
have the student’s name and grade written in the lower left-hand corner of the check.
6. All fundraisers MUST be approved by both the school and district administrator
BEFORE the fundraising plans are implemented and a school purchase order filled
out for approval.
7. Students who participate in fundraisers and submit checks should write their name
and grade in the lower left-hand corner on the check. Students participating in fund
raising activities are responsible for the cost of items or materials given to them.
8. All returned checks are automatically sent to Associated Financial Systems. This
organization charge the account owner the amount of the check plus a returned check
charge of $20.00
Updated June 2012
9. Organizations are expected to practice sound financial management, making sure
that all expenses are paid promptly and that necessary resources are available to
cover, not only these expenses, but also expenses that arise from students who
qualify for fee waivers. All Riverton High School organizations are expected to operate
within their designated budgets. Advisors are expected to be aware of current account
balances.
10. A student who does NOT qualify for a fee waiver and who has not paid for an
activity BEFORE the activity, should not be allowed to participate. (DO NOT
AUTHORIZE PARTICIPATION BASED UPON AN AGREEMENT THAT THE
ACTIVITY WILL BE PAID BY THE STUDENT AFTER THE ACTIVITY).
11. A student who has applied for a fee waiver should be allowed to participate in an
activity without paying ONLY IF and ONLY AFTER the administration has verified that
the student does qualify for the waiver.
12. Organizations should use a school purchase order to purchase needed items. The
advisor is NOT to sign blank purchase orders. If the amount of the purchase(s) is
unknown, the advisor should write on the purchase order “Not to exceed $_____“so
the principal knows an approximate amount he is approving. Purchase orders that are
NOT filled out completely and properly will NOT be signed and approved. All invoices
and/or receipts from vendors who accept school purchase orders are to be given to
the financial secretary no later than the next working day.
13. Cash purchases should only be made if the vendor will not accept a purchase
order. If a business will not accept a Riverton High School purchase order and an item
must be purchased from that business, the individual must still get prior approval on a
school purchase order. This approval, plus a valid business receipt, is required for
reimbursement. All receipts are to be signed and notation of activity or account should
be made on the receipts.
14. NO reimbursement will be made for sales taxes paid. A tax-exempt form should be
secured in the main office before making purchases.
15. District policy does not allow the school to cash checks. Please do not ask main
office personnel to make exceptions to this policy.
16. All class participation fees (i.e. art, music, etc...) should be paid by mid-term of the
first quarter of the class, if participation fees have not been paid by the end of the first
quarter of the class, a fine sheet should be generated and sent to the main office.
17. Any sport participation fee (drill, athletics, cheer, etc.) must be paid BEFORE the
athlete can participate.

Pursuant to action taken by the 1986 State Legislature and subsequent rulings on that

policy, and (2) a fee waiver guideline.
The Board delegates to the District Administration the responsibility of administering this
policy.
II. Administration Policy
The following definitions and standards shall serve as guidelines for local principals as
they assess and collect fees at the local school level.
Updated June 2012
Guidelines
A. Definitions
Fee: Any charge, deposit, rental, or other mandatory payment, however designated,
whether in the form of money or goods. For purposes of this policy, charges related to the
National School Lunch Program are not fees.
Provisions in Lieu of Fee Waiver: An alternative to fee payment and waiver of fee
payment.
Student Supplies: Items which are the personal property of a student which, although used
in the instructional process, are also commonly purchased and used by persons not enrolled
in the class or activity in question and have a high probability of regular use in other than
school-sponsored activities. The term includes pencils, papers, notebooks, crayons,
scissors, basic clothing for healthy lifestyle classes, undergarments for athletics, and
similar personal or consumable items over which a student retains ownership.
Optional Project: A project chosen and retained by a student in a vocational class or other
class where projects are part of the curriculum, in lieu of a meaningful and productive
project otherwise available to the student which would require only school-supplied
materials.
Elementary Schools: Schools which contain grades K through 6.
Secondary Schools: Schools which contain grades 7 through 12.
Textbook: Book, workbook, and materials similar in function which are required for
participation in any instructional course.
Waiver: Release from the requirement of payment of a fee and from any provision in lieu
of fee payment. Students who have been granted waivers or provisions in lieu of fee
waivers shall not be treated differently from other students or identified to persons who do
not need such information.
B. Standards
1. Classes and Activities During the Regular School Day
a. No fee may be charged for any class or activity in kindergarten through sixth
grade, including assemblies and field trips. (Elementary Schools)
b. Textbook, lab, and other course-related fees may only be charged in grades seven
through twelve. (Secondary Schools)
c. Students must be able to enroll and participate in any class, and have the
opportunity to acquire all skills and knowledge required for full credit and highest grades.
They may do this without paying a fee or participating in a fund raising activity with the
following exceptions:
(1) Students of all grade levels may be required to provide materials for
their optional projects.
(2) Student supplies must be provided for elementary students. A student
may, however, be required to replace supplies provided by the school which are lost,
Updated June 2012
wasted, or damaged by the student due to careless or irresponsible behavior.
(3) Secondary students may be required to provide their own student
supplies.
2. School Activities Outside of the Regular School Day
a. Fees may be charged in connection with any school-sponsored activity,
regardless of the age or grade level of the student, if participation is voluntary and does not
affect a student's grade or ability to participate fully in any course taught during the day.
b. Fees related to extracurricular activities sponsored by the Utah High School
Activities Association may not exceed limits established by the Association. Activity fees
for secondary schools are required and established annually. Student fees at the home
school are discounted with activity pass. Family discount passes are available at the home
school.
3. General Provisions
a. No fee may be charged or assessed in connection with any class or school
sponsored or supported activity, including extracurricular activities, unless the fee has been
set and approved by the local board of education in accordance with this policy.
b. Fee schedules and policies for the entire district shall be adopted at least once
each year by the local board of education in a regularly scheduled public meeting of the
board. Provision shall be made for broad public notice and participation in the
development of fee schedules and waiver policies.
c. The District shall adopt procedures to reasonably ensure that the parent or
guardian of each student receives written notice of fee schedules and fee waiver policies
before the fees are due. Procedures for fee waivers shall be written in language that is
easily understood and included with student registration materials.
d. No present or former student may be denied receipt of transcripts or a diploma
for failure to pay school fees other than a reasonable charge made to cover the cost of
duplicating or mailing. No charge may be made for duplicating or mailing copies of school
records to an elementary or secondary school in which the student is enrolled or intends to
enroll.
e. A Board of Education shall provide, as part of any fee policy or schedule, for
adequate waivers or other provisions to ensure that no student is denied the opportunity to
participate in a class or school sponsored or supported activity because of an inability to
pay a fee. The waiver policy shall include procedures to ensure that:
(1) A person is designated in each school to administer the policy and
grant waivers (school principal);
(2) The process for obtaining waivers or pursuing alternatives is
administered fairly, objectively, and without students and parents;
(3) Fee waivers or other provisions in lieu of fee waivers are available to
all students who are in state custody or receiving public assistance in the form of aid to
dependent children, general relief, supplemental security income, or foster care, and others
whose parents or guardians are financially unable to pay;
(4) Textbook fees are waived for all eligible students in accordance with
§53-13a-4 of the Utah Code;
(5) Parents are given the opportunity to review proposed alternatives to
fee waivers;
(6) An appeal process is available, including the opportunity to appeal to
the board or its designee; and
Updated June 2012
(7) The Board provides for balancing of financial inequities among
district schools, if the granting of waivers and alternatives to waivers produces significant
inequities through unequal impact on individual schools.
f. To preserve equal opportunity for all students and to limit diversion of money
and school and staff resources from the basic school program, each district's fee policies
shall be designed to limit student expenditures for school sponsored activities, including
expenditures for activities, uniforms, clubs, clinics, travel, and subject area and vocational
leadership organizations whether local, state or national.
g. Expenditures for uniforms, costumes, clothing, and accessories, if other than
typical student dress, which are required for participants in choirs, pep clubs, drill teams,
athletic teams, bands, orchestras, and other student groups, are fees requiring approval of
the local Board of Education.
h. The requirements of fee waiver and availability of other provisions in lieu of fee
waiver do not apply to charges assessed pursuant to a student's damaging or losing school
property. Schools may pursue reasonable methods for obtaining payment for such charges,
but may not exclude students from school or withhold transcripts or diplomas to obtain
payment of those charges.
i. Charges for class rings, letter jackets, and similar articles not required for
participation in a class or activity are not fees and are not subject to the waiver
requirements of this policy.
JORDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT
Statement of . . .
POLICY
Number: AA417
Effective: 7/11/74
Revision: 9/8/09
SUBJECT: Fund Raising
I. Board Policy
The Board recognizes that there are times when it may be beneficial to raise funds for
specific projects and school activities. The Board also recognizes its responsibility to
protect students, parents and community members of the District from undue pressures
applied through these fund-raising efforts. The guidelines outlined in this policy are
intended to provide schools with the ability to raise funds without unduly pressuring
students, patrons, and/or community members to support or participate in fund-raising
activities.
The Board provides funds for specific educational functions on an equitable basis;
therefore, no school partnership or fund-raising effort will be approved that would generate
funds for the following categories:
1. Textbooks and supplies (the purchase of)
Updated June 2012
2. Transportation of students between school and home on a regular basis
3. The purchase or construction of an additional classroom(s)
4. The hiring of licensed, classified, or paraprofessional staff
The Board delegates to the District Administration the responsibility of administering this
policy.
II. Administration Policy
All schools may participate annually in the following fund-raisers:
• One fund-raiser sponsored by the school and/or PTA
• One fund-raiser sponsored by the School Community Council
• Two charitable fund-raisers (such as activities sponsored by nonprofit [501C-3]
organizations or Sub-for-Santa)
The Administration shall approve fund-raisers that meet the guidelines listed below:
Guidelines
A. A needs assessment must be conducted before a fund-raiser can be approved, in order to
determine the amount of funds required and the methods used to raise the funds.
B. All local school fund-raisers must be submitted in writing to the Area Administrator of
Schools for review and prior approval.
C. Students must not be compelled to sell or purchase products or services and must be free to
voluntarily participate without peer or group pressure. Care must be taken in awarding bonuses
or prizes to individuals or groups so that students do not feel pressured into competitive
selling.
D. Students are not to miss class to participate in fund-raisers.
E. Charitable fund raising will not be endorsed or sponsored on a Districtwide basis. The local
school, with the endorsement of the School Community Council and approval of the Area
Administrator of Schools, may participate in no more than two charitable fund-raisers per year.
Materials that advertise other charitable fund-raising activities may be placed in the school
office, or other locations to be determined by the school administration.
Level Guidelines
The guidelines for elementary school and middle school vary from guidelines for high school.
Funds raised in elementary and middle schools are primarily used to support school activities,
enhance instruction, and for general operational assistance for school/community
organizations. Elementary and middle school students are restricted by policy from
participating in overnight travel. High school students frequently raise funds for travel
expenses, specialized equipment, and uniforms. Due to the unique demands for activity
program funding at the high school level, high schools are allowed more opportunities to raise

funds.
