SCHOOL HISTORY1800The Society of the Sacred Heart, an international educational order, was founded in 1800 in France by Madeleine Sophie Barat. Herdesire was to provide young women with as strong a religious and academic training as that available for young men of that era. Hervision was realized, and her courage and her sanctity rewarded in the Convents of the Sacred Heart, which ringed the globe at the timeof her death in 1865.1818The first Convent of the Sacred Heart in the United States opened its doors in 1818 at St. Charles, Missouri, and the first in Marylandwas established in 1871 at Rosecroft in St. Mary’s County. That school was forced to close two years later in the face of overwhelminghardships.1923Fifty years later the Religious of the Sacred Heart returned to the Washington area, and a new school was opened on MassachusettsAvenue, just east of Dupont Circle, in 1923. For more than a generation, the Religious carried on the work of education there, but by theend of World War II, the school had outgrown its quarters in the city.1947In 1947 the Society of the Sacred Heart purchased 35 acres on the estate owned by George Hamilton in Bethesda, Maryland, called“Stone Ridge,” in Bethesda, Maryland. Soon a new building was added to the Hamilton home, and, in 1957, another to house the Upperand Lower schools. Since that time, a gym with basketball and volleyball courts, music and drama rooms have been built. Outdoor ten-nis courts and playing fields complete the partially wooded campus.1996In September 1996, Stone Ridge opened a new academic building for the Upper School. The five-story building consolidates UpperSchool classes into one building, with the exception of music and fine arts. Renovations included adding a basketball court, exerciseroom and locker rooms to the gymnasium.2005In June 2005, Stone Ridge completed an enclosed Aquatic Center featuring an eight-lane, twenty-five yard, heated, competition-sizeswimming pool. The indoor facility includes a retractable roof, two one-meter Duraflex diving boards, eight starting blocks, heatedwomen’s and men’s locker rooms, lobby area, and built-in spectator seating. Equipment rooms, a classroom, and a beautiful view of thewoods with plenty of windows compliment the Aquatic Center. Also, a new art studio was constructed in the back of the fifth floor of the’47 building.

Daily Prayer of St. Madeleine Sophie

Oh Sacred Heart of Jesus,

give me a heart that is one with your own;

a humble heart that knows and loves its nothingness;

a gentle heart that holds and calms its own anxieties;

a loving heart that has compassion for the suffering of others;

a pure heart that recoils even at the appearance of evil;

a detached heart that longs for nothing other than the goodness of heaven;

a heart detached from self-love and embraced by the love of God, its attention focused on God,

its goodness is its only treasure in time and in eternity.

Amen

results, and a description of the functional limitations resulting from the disability;• the professional credentials of the evaluator, including information about license or certification and area of specialization;• description of the specific accommodations requested, and why the disability qualifies the student for such accommodations.In most cases a pediatrician’s letter may substantiate a diagnosis of ADHD or LD but may not be considered a substitute for appropriatepsychoeducational testing.

Plagiarism and academicdishonesty are extremely serious matters and will not be tolerated at Stone Ridge.PERSONAL INTEGRITYA community can exist only if there is respect and trust among its members. Stealing is a violation of the rights of others; no studentmay use, take or borrow any property that belongs to another without permission.

Neither lying nor stealing will be tolerated at Stone Ridge.HONOR BOARDDuring the fall of the 2015-16 academic year, Stone Ridge formed a student faculty hearing board for all first and second time honorviolations.

LANGUAGE ARTS {MLA sty le of documentat ion}

YOUR WORKS-CITED LISTYour works-cited list should appear at the end of your essay. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the essay. Each source you cite in the essay must appear in your works-cited list; likewise, each entry in the works-cited list must be cited in the text.

According to the Modern Language Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 8th edition:

{1} Double-space all entries.{2} Begin the first line of an entry flush with the left margin, and indent lines that follow by one-half inch.{3} List entries in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. If you are listing more than one work by the same author,

alphabetize the works according to title. Instead of repeating the author’s name, type three hyphens followed by a period, and then give the title.

{4} Italicize the titles of works published independently. Books, plays, long poems, pamphlets, periodicals and films are all published independently.

{5} If the title of a book you are citing includes the title of another book, italicize the main title but not the other title.{6} Use quotation marks to indicate titles of short works included in larger works, song titles and titles of unpublished works.{7} Separate the author, title, and publication information with a period followed by one space. {8} Use lowercase abbreviations to identify parts of a work (for example, vol. for volume), a named translator (trans.), and a

named editor (ed.). However, when these designations follow a period, the first letter should be capitalized.{9} Use the shortened forms for the publisher’s name. When the publisher’s name includes the name of a person, cite the last

name alone. When the publisher’s name includes the name of more than one person, cite only the first of these names.{10} Use the phrase, “Accessed on” instead of listing the date or the abbreviation, “n.d.”

Any citAtion (GenerAL GuideLines)

Author. Title. Title of container (self contained if book), Other contributors (translators or editors), Version (edition), Number (vol. and/or no.), Publisher, Publication Date, Location (pages, paragraphs URL or DOI). 2nd container’s title, Other contributors, Version, Number, Publisher, Publication date, Date of Access (if applicable).

RESPONSIBLE USE POLICYALL SCHOOLThe School provides communication and information resources for students, faculty, and staff in order to create a productive yet safelearning environment. These resources include, but are not limited to, computer equipment, peripherals, networks, network services,software, email, and all other technology-related school owned or leased equipment and services. These resources are provided pri-marily to aid in the students’ ability to complete their schoolwork and studies. This Policy also covers all Stone Ridge sponsored tech-nology programs including, but not limited to, the Upper School 1-to-1 Laptop program, the Middle School 1-to-1 program (iPads andlaptops) and the Lower School iPad and Chromebook program.The policies set herewith, (“Policy”), are designed to set parameters around how technology is used within the School to further studentlearning and the programs of the School. These policies represent the overall standards and expectations for responsible use of tech-nology. Users are expected to conduct themselves with personal integrity and honesty. These standards apply whether the student ison or off campus regardless of whether the communications occur on the School's computers and network or on personally owned orother third-party computers or devices.No other agreement or policy shall supersede this document. Violation of these policies may result in corrective action, including loss ofnetwork privileges, supplementary discipline, or legal action.TECHNOLOGY GUIDELINES & EXPECTATIONSStone Ridge retains sole right of possession of all School owned and leased equipment and grants permission to students to use cam-pus equipment in accordance with the guidelines in this agreement. Stone Ridge retains the right to collect and/or inspect the equipmentat any time, including via electronic remote access. Stone Ridge also retains the right to add or delete installed software or hardware atany time.Students must use electronic equipment, software, applications, e-mail accounts, and Stone Ridge’s network resources appropriatelyfor School-related activities and in a manner that is consistent with this Policy, and the mission and philosophy of the School. Studentsrepresent Stone Ridge whenever they use technology resources, even if using these resources away from or outside of Stone Ridge.Students may be held responsible for any online behavior or content that connects them to the School or implicates the School, stu-dents, faculty, staff, or other members of the community in that behavior. Students may also be held responsible for any statements,posts, communications, online behavior or content that is not consistent with the School's mission and philosophy, regardless of wheth-er the behavior took place (or the content was created) on or away from campus. This also holds regardless of whether the communica-tions occur on the School's computers and network or on personally owned or other third-party computers or devices.School owned computers and equipment MUST NOT be used for the following:• Illegal Acts - including but not limited to fraud, making threats, harassment, stealing, vandalizing, and copyright infringement.• Solicitations - of any student, staff, or faculty member regarding commercial or political causes.• Dissemination of copyrighted materials - including but not limited to software, music, video, and published materials.• Dissemination of proprietary data or confidential materials of Stone Ridge.• Operation of a business or solicitation of money for any reason for personal gain.• Tampering or breaking into servers, systems, and network accounts that do not belong to the user or altering any items that affect

activities and for which teacher or administrative permission has not been obtained.• Accessing files or account data, including passwords, of another user.• Plagiarizing material.• To post anonymous messages on the Internet. For example, using an anonymous user to post messages or statements on the In-

ternet that you do not want attributed to yourself. Users should be prepared to stand behind anything they post on the Internet andunderstand that in doing so they reflect upon their own and the School’s reputation.

• Allowing anyone other than the student’s parent or guardian to use school owned equipment without the written authorization of Ad-ministrative staff.

• Any activity that would void the warranty of School owned equipment. If you are not sure if what you want to do would void the war-ranty, ask the Help Desk first.

• Install any unapproved software. All non-School related software has to be pre-approved by the IT staff of the School.• Any other activity that is in violation of any Stone Ridge policy.

155

Expectations:• Students should refrain from sharing personal cell phone numbers and texting with faculty and staff.• Students will not take a teacher’s or another student’s power adaptor.• Students will be held responsible for lewd, threatening, harassing, hostile, bullying, discriminatory, or unprofessional communications

with other students, parents, faculty and staff, or other members of the Stone Ridge community, regardless of whether the commu-nications occur on the School's computers and network or personally owned or other third party computers or devices.

• Students must consider and respect the privacy of the students, faculty and staff, and administrators of the School in all on-line ac-tivity, including the use of images and photographs without permission, regardless of whether the communications occur on theSchool's computers and network or personally owned or other third party computers or devices.

• Students may not misrepresent themselves or falsify their identity to gain use of any electronic devices, send electronic messagesunder a false address, or use others' accounts without permission. This expectation holds regardless of whether the communica-tions occur on the School's computers and network or on personally owned or other third party computers or devices.

• Students must report a damaged or missing school owned device within one day of the incident.• Students may not engage in online shopping or non-school approved chat forums while in class.• Students must consider and respect the privacy of the students, faculty and staff, and administrators of the School including taking

photographs and video recordings without permission regardless of whether the communications occur on the School’s computerand network or personally owned or other third party computers or devices.

Students who are assigned School owned computers and equipment are expected to do the following:• Use equipment in a manner that adheres to the core values of Stone Ridge and the five Goals of Sacred Heart education.• Conduct themselves online with personal dignity and integrity.• Use equipment primarily for School-related purposes.• Treat School owned equipment as if it were their own.• Keep equipment clean and in good working condition.• In the case of laptops and/or tablets, carry the equipment in a protective sleeve.• Avoid putting equipment in situations where it can be lost, broken, or stolen.• When having computer problems, enter a trouble ticket via emailing support@stoneridgeschool.org, call, or walk in to the IT Help

Desk.• Obtain the permission of the IT Help Desk staff before connecting personally owned peripherals.• Back up their data on a consistent and regular basis (backing up once every two weeks is recommended).• Adhere to server, email, and attachment size limitations, currently 20 MB.• Be mindful of the environmental impact of printing and the financial costs of printing in general and specifically printing in color. Color

printing should only be used when it is critical to the outcome of the presentation.• Keep personal information private.• Be mindful that when using social networking sites that identify users as Stone Ridge students they are representing the School in
