Overview:

East Hartford High School uses a Student Handbook to identify policies and procedures directly related to East Hartford Public Schools and daily high school operations. In an effort to streamline and simplify the adopted EHPS District Student Handbook and EHHS general expectations and information, we have included appropriate references and links that can be used as a resource for students to become familiar with and understand the day-to-day aspects of school life at EHHS.

Handbook Highlights:

As part of the annual process at EHHS, staff and students regularly review “Handbook Highlights” to identify common practices and procedures for students. These items include aspects of each set of processes and expectations as identified in the District Parent/Student Handbook, EHHS Guidebook, and general operating procedures. Students and families are encouraged to refer to the following points of emphasis as recommended by the school administration.

Item Students and Families must be familiar with… Attendance Daily attendance requirements, tardies, dismissal, class cuts, and truancy.

Bus Information Transportation in the East Hartford district is a privilege; students violating school policy and polices of DATTCO bus services; failure to comply may lead to removal and/or bus suspensions.

Code of Conduct EHHS district and school practices, policies and procedures need to be reviewed as it applies to both academic and behavioral expectations.

School Uniform Per BOE policy, strong adherence to the rules of proper dress code must be followed and are firmly enforced by school administrators/teachers.

Electronic Devices

District rules apply; electronic devices used in the classroom under teacher direction can be used in support of the curriculum. Students are not permitted to wear headphones or earbuds in class or in common areas. Safety and proper cell phone etiquette or use of electronic devices will always be enforced schoolwide by school administrators and the teaching staff.

Forms Students must complete the following forms and return those pertinent documents to their respective House office within the first 10 school days. (Emergency cards, Health Records and applicable student medical request information.

Class Rank

Class rank is a consideration in the admission policies of some colleges. Class rank is determined by the average total of quality points earned by the student. Quality points are earned whenever a student passes and earns a credit for courses taken in grades 9-12 with the exception of courses graded on a Pass/Fail basis. Courses which carry quality points are those marked on an “A” through “F” basis including Wellness Education. Please Note: Classes taken away from the high school campus are not factored into class rank. The following scale below is used to determine class rank.

High and General Honors, as well as all student averages, will be calculated during the school year based on a Grade Point Average. The scale will be as follows: General Honors 3.00-3.59, High Honors 3.60-4.00. The Grade Point Average is determined by the same scale that is used for grades and "C" - (1.7 GPA) rule eligibility for participating in extra-curricular activities. Academic Honors Program recognizes the specific needs of advanced learners by providing accelerated curricula, enrichment experiences and opportunities for independent study. This program seeks to enable students to earn college credit while at EHHS and to prepare them for entrance to competitive 4 year post-secondary schools. Ninth and tenth grade students who demonstrate readiness for advanced academic work in a subject are enrolled in honor level courses. Upperclassman may continue advanced coursework on Advanced Placement, UCONN Early College Experience (ECE) and other Honors course. In all grades, students are mentored and advised by team teachers and Academic Honors Program staff.

13

Incompletes

A student receiving a grade of "incomplete" at the end of a marking period must make up his/her work within ten (10) school days after the marking period report cards are issued unless an extension is granted by the principal.. An incomplete grade will keep the student off the honor roll until the work is made up - even if the student's other grades satisfy honor roll requirements. No incomplete grade can remain on the report card and thus, a final grade will be issued.

National Honor Society

Article VIII: Discipline and Dismissal of Members Section 1- Membership of the National Honor Society are subject to dismissal if they do not maintain the standards of scholarship, leadership, service, and character that were used as a basis for their selection. Section 2- Members are allowed limited warnings during their membership, but in the case of flagrant violation of rules or civil laws, a warning is not required for dismissal but a hearing will still be held. If the Faculty Council determines that the facts warrant consideration of dismissal, the member will be notified in writing of the violation, the possibility of dismissal, and the need for a scheduled hearing with the Faculty Council. A hearing will then be scheduled. The member should then be allowed to appear before the Faculty Council and explain the situation. A parent or guardian may be present with the member, however, it should be noted that the primary focus of the hearing is to allow the member to present his or her case Section Section 3- Members who fall below the academic standard for selection will receive a written warning and given one marking period to restore their cumulative GPA to the standard of selection. Section 4- If a member is dismissed, written notice of the decision will be sent to the member, his or her parent or

guardian, and the principal. The member must then surrender the NHS pin and certificate to the chapter adviser. **Please consult Section VII for a copy of the Tucker Blake National Society Acceptance Scoring Rubric. Student Learning Expectations

East Hartford High School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC), a non-governmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools

through collegiate institutions offering postgraduate instruction. Accreditation of an institution by the NEASC

indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through

a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources

to achieve its stated purpose through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives

reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

This school year, EHHS will continue to address NEASC recommendations through a comprehensive assessment and monitoring system as well as communicative process. As a component of student graduation, students will

be assessed through the school-wide learning expectations within through departmental rubrics in alignment with Common Core and the aforementioned expectations. These expectations are outlined in the grid below:

Student Learning Expectation Department Assessment

1) Communicate by:

1.1 writing for a variety of purposes English

1.2 presenting information to an audience effectively through speech World Language

1.3 reading effectively from a variety of sources English

2) Solve problems by:

Student progress information will be communicated to parents and students via semester report cards. Please note,

students are assessed using a “standards-based” approach where it is expected that students meet proficiency or

better as they mature towards graduation. For further information please contact your child’s individual teacher or

house support team. Thank you for your support in ensuring our students continue build on their skills and talents at

EHHS as they become college and career ready.
