VISION STATEMENT

Catholic education is the development of the intellectual, spiritual, moral, emotional and physical growth of the children.
A Catholic school staff in cooperation with the pastor and parents provide the foundation for proclaiming the Gospel message, celebrating the liturgy, developing a faith-filled community and living the Good News of Jesus through ministry and service to others.
We believe that a peaceful and happy environment promotes educational achievement. Students are motivated in their individual learning with positive reinforcement and discipline. We believe that teaching methods stimulate students to develop their God-given abilities, self-esteem and promote the understanding of Christian justice in the community and world.

SCHOOL POLICIES
ATTENDANCE POLICY Please make every effort to have your child maintain regular attendance at school. Parents are asked to telephone the school when a student is going to be late or absent. When a child is late/absent and parents have not called, the school will telephone the parents. A written note of explanation should be given to the teacher when the student returns to school. After three days of absence due to illness, a doctor’s note is required. If a child is absent it is the responsibility of the child to make arrangements for making up work. Any student arriving at school after 8:15 AM or after 12:35 PM will be considered tardy. If a student misses 90 minutes of the school day, they will be considered absent for 1/4 of a day.
Attendance Law: “Any school person refusing, willfully failing or neglecting to comply with the compulsory attendance law shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, likewise, any person with legal control of a child who fails or refuses to send or to keep the child in school daily is guilty of a misdemeanor.” Persons with such misconduct will be reported to the proper authorities.
***Children are expected to stay on the school grounds during the noon hour and recess. When a parent wishes a child to be excused before official dismissal, a written note to the teacher or a phone call to the office from the parent is required. Students must sign in and out if they are arriving late or leaving school early. A sign in/out sheet will be in the office.
Lyon County Human Services, in collaboration with schools and Lyon County Courts, have developed this truancy procedure protocol, to be incorporated into the policies and procedures of local schools. We have worked together to develop this procedure because we believe it is the best interest of the child to attend and be academically engaged in order to be successful in school.
1. Unexcused absences are cumulative throughout the school year. Records regarding
attendance will transfer with students who transfer between schools within
2. According to Minnesota Law, “habitual truant” means as child under the age of 16 years who is absent from attendance at school without lawful excuse for seven school days if the child is in elementary school or for one or more class periods on seven school days if the child is in middle school, junior high school, or high school, or a child who is 16 or 17 years of age who is absent from attendance at school without lawful excuse for one or more class periods on seven school days and who has not lawfully withdrawn from school.
3. After five unexcused absences (as defined above), a meeting will be scheduled by the school with the truant child, parents, school personnel, and Human Services. An Attendance Plan will be developed to address the current issues.
4. If the Attendance Plan is not followed and the student continues to be truant, at seven unexcused absences, the matter will be referred to
5. Human Services will offer voluntary services to the family to assist in improving the student's attendance. Human Services will also outline possible outcomes that may take place after the matter is referred to the county attorney's office, they include:
**A child in need of Protection of Services (CHIPS) petition may be filed with
court by Human Services. The student and his/her parent(s) will need to appear before a
Judge regarding the truancy petition. At that time, the CHIPS petition may be granted or a
trial will be scheduled to determine the basis of the petition.
**Judges can consider the following recommendations in a CHIPS hearing regards to
truancy:
1. A child may lose their driving privileges until he or she is 18 years old.
2. That any necessary evaluations, treatment, and counseling services be completed by the child or the family.
3. That attendance at summer school is mandatory.
BEHAVIOR It is essential in the education of children that they are able to learn in an environment which maintains respect for people and property. Christian education implies the development of responsible students whose values are founded upon Christian principles. A Catholic school is unique in that spiritual growth can be nurtured and the Gospel can be fully discussed and witnessed.
BIKES All bikes must be put in the bike rack. Please instruct your child in bike safety, such as, one on a bike and driving down the right side of the road.
BOOK DAMAGE Book covers are required for all textbooks; paper book covers are available at school. Appropriate fees will be assessed for books that have been damaged. Lost or irreparable damaged books will be charged replacement cost.
BUS Bus students are to ride the bus from St. Edward’s to the Public School after dismissal. They must have a note or phone call if they are not going to ride the bus as usual.
MISBEHAVIOR ON BUS Riding the bus to and from school and for field trips is a privilege for students. Students will follow bus rules established by the bus drivers. Failure to follow rules will follow the Discipline Policy on page 6.
CHEATING/PLAGIARISM
In keeping with the school’s Christian Philosophy, students who are caught cheating or plagiarizing will be subject to discipline. The following discipline policy will be used for any student caught cheating or plagiarizing:
First Offense: Zero credit for assignment with a chance to redo the assignment for 90% credit
within two days. Parents will be notified.
Second Offense: Zero credit for assignment with no chance to redo the assignment. Parents
will meet with teacher, student, and principal.
Third Offense: Zero credit for assignment with no chance to redo the assignment and possible
expulsion.
CONFERENCES
DESK DAMAGE Any student causing damage to their desk will be charged a minimum of $5.00. School property should be treated respectfully.
DISCIPLINE POLICY There are different types of mischievous conduct in school such as snowballs, offensive language, disrespect, vandalism, etc… that which occurs in the classroom and that which happens in other areas of the school and the school bus. Normally classroom behavior is handled by the classroom teacher. Unacceptable behavior outside the classroom will be the responsibility of the teacher or the administrator. The following procedure will be used:
LEVEL ONE—Student will confer with teacher.
LEVEL TWO—When sent to office, student will confer with the principal.
LEVEL THREE—Student will confer with the principal and the parents will be contacted.
LEVEL FOUR—Student will be suspended until he/she returns to school with their parents.
LEVEL FIVE—If there is no evidence of improvement - - expulsion.
**Physical violence, threats, serious harassment, or related incidents toward students or adults will result in immediate notification of parents and possible removal from school. When necessary, public authorities will be contacted.
DISCIPLINE POLICY, CONT.
**Students may be disciplined for conduct whether inside or outside school, that is detrimental to the reputation of the school.
JUNIOR HIGH STUDENTS – Gum is not allowed in the classroom. Students coming from the public school will be asked to throw the gum away, otherwise there is a $1.00 fine as decided upon by the 2005-2006 seventh and eighth grade classes.
DISMISSAL Students not riding the bus are required to be crossed by the Safety Patrol. Any student not taking their usual way home must have a note or phone call from an adult caregiver.
If your child does not have a note or if no phone call is made to the school, your child will be sent home their usual way. Please call before 2:30PM with any changes of dismissal for your child.
DRESS CODE POLICY Parents should see that their children are neat and clean in appearance when coming to school. Children should be dressed according to the weather conditions. They are exposed to the weather while coming and going to school, during the morning and noon recesses, and some physical education classes. In keeping with the school’s Christian Philosophy, students who are dressed inappropriately will be subject to the discipline policy. WEDNESDAYS are Mass days and dress-up days at school. No shorts are to be worn to Mass. Children are encouraged to be dressed in dress clothes for
Mini-skirts, short shorts, revealing/midriff tops (undergarments should be worn not seen) and shirts with inappropriate words/pictures are not acceptable at any time. The main reason for appropriate school dress flows from a need to maintain good behavior and discipline for the entire student body. Whether the students are dressed for school or summer play has a direct affect on their behavior and attitude toward school. Young students' clothing should be marked for easy identification.
Coats and backpacks are not allowed in the classrooms and should remain in the hallways on the student’s hooks.
EIGHTH GRADE HONORS PROGRAM Students who receive an A- or better grade average during their eighth grade year are considered “honor students.” To receive the President’s Education Award, an eighth grader student must have an A- or better average for Junior High and obtain an 85% or better in math or reading on a standardized test.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES Cell phones, head phones, or other electronic devices are not allowed to be turned on within school grounds during the school day. The school day shall be considered from the time the student arrives in the morning until they depart in the afternoon. All electronic devices shall remained turned off in the students backpack on their hooks. St. Edward is not responsible or any lost or damaged items brought to school or school functions such as field trips.
