Enrichment classes they will take throughout the year. This should ensure that students will

take their CE classes seriously and change the mindset that they do not need to pass those classes

in order to be promoted.

CAMPBELL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL’S RETENTION POLICY STATEMENT

Clark County School Board Policy 08.22 and Procedure 08.22 AP.1 will be the guidelines used by

Campbell Junior High School in determining promotion and retention of students. Campbell

Junior High students to be considered for promotion to the next grade, must earn a minimum of

4.50 credits, passing all of their Core Content classes and minimum of 2 Career Exploratory classes

per year, or 1 (one) year-long Exploratory class (i.e. Band, Choir, Orchestra). In accordance with

Board Procedure 08.22 AP.1, Team Leaders will review student grades at mid-year or as soon after

mid-year it is perceived the student is at risk of being retained and will notify parents. If by mid-

term of the 4th nine weeks there is still the possibility of retention, the student will be referred to

the Academic Review Team. The Academic Review Team will consist of the Principal/Assistant

Principal, Instructional Specialist, grade level Team Leader, Counselor, Related Arts Team

teacher, and one other teacher from the student’s team. Students not successful in passing

academic classes shall be reviewed by the Academic Review Team to determine status at Campbell

Junior High School. Students referred to the Academic Review Team will be recommended for

one of the following by the Academic Review committee;

*retention

*promotion

*Credit Recovery (if available)

*Summer School (based on academic success)

*ESS (based on academic review)

Final determination on student status at Campbell Junior High School will be

determined by the Administration with input from the Academic Review Team.

INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA CENTER (LIBRARY)

Mrs. Partin and Ms. Charles Etta Simmons operate the Campbell Junior High instructional media

center to provide students and teachers materials and equipment to support, complement, and

expand classroom experiences. Instructional media includes all educational material in the center.

Besides books and printed material it may contain audio-visual materials and various forms of

technology.

Students may visit the center before school and immediately after school. During the day teachers

will schedule their classes into the media center as needed.

7

Students are encouraged to check out library books. The responsibility of taking proper care of

the library books is placed with the students. If a book is damaged or lost, the student will be

expected to pay for the cost of replacing the book.

COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE

Counseling is the primary guidance service and is available to all students in the school. Its

purpose is to assist the student to understand himself by focusing attention on his interests, abilities,

and needs in relation to his home, school, and environment. Counseling assists the students in

developing decision-making competence, examining alternatives, and in formulating future plans.

The school counselors, Ms. Boyd 7th Grade and Ms. Letcher 8th Grade, have special professional

training for assessing the specific needs of each student and for planning an appropriate guidance

program in the educational and personal social domains. The counselor believes that most

students, given the experience of an accepting, non-evaluating, non-judgmental professional

relationship, will make intelligent decisions.

Parents are also encouraged to schedule conferences with the counselor during the school day or

after school as needs arise.

Certified school counselors in Kentucky are protected by law (KRS 421.216) against being forced

to reveal information given them in confidence.

GIFTED EDUCATION

Campbell Junior High School offers students a challenging academic curriculum. Advanced

classes are also available in Math, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies.

ATTENDANCE: TRUANCY AND HABITUAL TRUANCY PROCEDURES

Students are expected to be at school every day. Campbell Junior High School follows state and

school board policies and procedures regarding truancy. Parents/guardians will be contacted,

either personally (phone call, conference, home visit) or by mail regarding the number of days

absent. Excessive unexcused absences and /or tardies, may cause school officials to seek legal

recourse for resolution of the problem.

Students that are absent from school on the day of the event or game are not permitted to

participate in the event or game on that day. Students that are absent from school on the day

after an event or game, unless the absence is excused, will not be permitted to play in the next

game or event.

8

WHAT IS TRUANCY?

Any child, who has been absent from school without valid excuse for three (3) or more days, or tardy on

three (3) or more days, is a truant. Any child who has been reported as a truant two (2) or more times is a

habitual truant. A student who is absent for less than 35% of the regularly scheduled school day is

considered to be tardy.

TARDINESS

A student who is not in his/her classroom or other assigned area on time will be marked tardy.

Students who arrive at school after 8:50 A.M. must report to the attendance clerk and receive an

admit slip. Excessive tardies will not be tolerated. If a student arrives to school 10 minutes late

with an unexcused tardy, they will be sent to the ISAP for the remainder of that class period. At

the end of the period, students will then be sent to their next period class.

DISMISSALS

If a student must leave school early, the parent/guardian must come to the reception desk. After

the student is signed out on the appropriate form, the student may be dismissed. If a student

becomes ill at school, only administrators or the school nurse will call home for student pick up.

Students are not allowed to use cell phones to make an unauthorized call for dismissal.

School work missed due to early dismissal is the student's responsibility (see policy on make-up

work). Parents are requested not to pick up their child prior to the end of the school day.

AFTERNOON DISMISSAL

Car riders are dismissed out the back of the school. Bus riders and walkers are dismissed out

the side door exits (next to library entrance and the end of R, D, and C wings). Student athletes

will be dismissed with bus riders.

STUDENTS OUT OF CLASS

Students are to be in assigned areas at all times unless they have special permission by a teacher.

There is to be no loitering or playing in the hallways or restrooms. Campbell Jr. High has a 10-

10 rule meaning students may not leave the classroom during the first OR last 10 minutes of

class.

Students need to seek permission from faculty or staff before going to nurse, main office,

counselor, administration, library, or youth service center. Faculty or staff must call the location

before sending the student. Students must have a hall pass when out of the classroom or students

will be escorted back to class. ONE student per hall pass for restroom. When the office needs to

see a student, he or she will be notified.

Students will be given enough time to transition from one class to another. Students should always

be where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be, and doing what they are supposed

to be doing. Repeated tardies to class will result in consequences for that student.

9

BATHROOM PASSES

Bathroom passes are distributed at the beginning of each nine weeks. The bathroom pass allows

the student to leave the classroom a total of ten times each nine weeks. If a student does not have

a bathroom pass, they will not be permitted to leave the classroom. If a student uses their bathroom

pass less than five times in nine weeks, they will be rewarded.

MAKE-UP WORK

It is the student’s responsibility to get make-up work from absences. Students with an excused

absence must, within three days upon returning to school, make up work that has been missed or

make arrangements with his/her teachers for completion dates. Failure to do so will result in the

student receiving a zero for all work missed.

The following are clarifications on make-up work:

a. Make-up work will not be allowed for unexcused absences.

b. Homework requests will only be available for students that have missed two or more

days. Homework will be ready for pick-up at 3:00pm on the next school day after the

request was made.

c. A test or a project will not take the place of make- up work.

d. If a student is absent only on the day of a test or when major assignments are due but

has had the same opportunity to prepare as the other students, that student must be

prepared to complete the work on the day he/she returns. If a conflict arises, this work

may be completed at the discretion of the teacher.

e. Students on school sponsored trips, vacations, or family emergency situations should

make prior arrangements with each teacher regarding work that will be missed.

GENERAL DISCIPLINE PROCEDURES

If a student does not live up to his/her responsibility, after discipline by the teacher, the student

will be referred to the principal/assistant principal for appropriate disciplinary action. The

principal/assistant principal will investigate the case thoroughly and discipline the student

according to prescribed guidelines. If a student becomes a habitual discipline problem, the student

may be recommended for expulsion.

The following procedures will be used in dealing with students who break school rules:

1. The student will be disciplined by the teacher for most violations.

2. The student will be referred to the principal/assistant principal.

3. The case will be investigated by the principal/assistant principal.

4. The student will have the right of due process.

5. The principal/assistant principal will determine the action to be taken.

6. If disciplinary action is taken, the Consequence Matrix at the end of this Success

Guide will serve as the guideline for disciplinary action. However, Administration will

10

have final say over all disciplinary actions.

The following are possible examples of poor student choices that call for disciplinary action:

excessive tardies; smoking; skipping school; skipping class; leaving school without permission;

fighting; vandalism; defiance of authority; using profane, obscene, offensive or abusive language;

lying to school personnel; cheating; being in an unauthorized area of building; careless or

malicious action causing injury or damage; violation of electronics policy; disruption of the

educational process; violation of any school bus rule; violation of school dress code; chewing gum;

refusal to accept disciplinary action; unacceptable conduct between boys and girls; general

harassment; improper behavior and actions in the lunchroom; forgery; petty theft; the possession
