Student Handbook
2006-2007
ENGLEWOOD HISTORY:
Englewood School, located on the Trans-Canada Highway, in the village of Crapaud, was established as a high school for the area and was officially opened on April 30, 1961. The School originally served Grades 9-12 from districts in the Crapaud-Tryon area. Other surrounding districts soon joined the School and in 1967-68, Grades 7-8 were added. In September, 1973, all elementary schools except Crapaud Village and Bonshaw were closed and the students were transferred to Englewood. In September, 1978, high school students from the area began attending the new Bluefield High School in Hampshire and Englewood became an elementary-intermediate school for the area. In 1982, the long-awaited extension to the building was constructed. The School finally had a modern gymnasium and facilities for community activities. The School, one of seven schools in the Bluefield Family of the Eastern School District, presently serves approximately 250 students in Grades 1-9 from an area including Tryon, Crapaud, Victoria, Kelly's Cross, Bonshaw, and Argyle Shore. Englewood School colours are blue and white.
SCHOOL PROGRAMS:
The School offers the authorized English-language curriculum to Grades 1-9. All students are expected to take Physical Education in all grades; Music in grades l-6; and French in grades 4-9. A Band program is offered as an option for students in grades 4-9. Resource-Special Education is available as well as access to a well-equipped library and computer lab.

Students who return after school hours for use of playground facilities are to do so after 4 P.M.
4. REPORTING TO PARENTS:
1. Parents play a vital role in developing student behavior and conduct. It is
our expectation that parents:
-be aware of the school's code of conduct.
-work with the school to resolve student behaviour issues when they affect their
children.
-cooperate with the school's or district's recommended course of action for the
student.
-model appropriate behavior and language for their children.
2. All parents/guardians are reminded that they are subject to the school's code
of conduct, as are all students and staff.

our students will receive the best
education possible.
Student School
5. NAME TAGS:
It is helpful to have name tags on a student's personal belongings so that lost items can more easily be located. We appreciate your help. Parents are encouraged to label items such as lunch pails, sneakers(!!!!), snow boots, school bags, outdoor clothing, ball gloves, etc. Every June, large quantities of the above-mentioned items are given to volunteer agencies because they have not been claimed during the year.
6. LUNCH SPECIALITIES:
We offer a hot lunch item ($1.50) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays …ranging
from macaroni with meat sauce, lasagna, baked potatoes with various toppings,
pizza (beef, ham or chicken topping), soups and more! We avoid "processed
meats". Once a month we offer a sub from Captain Subs in Kensington
(pre-ordered and delivered to the school). Every Tuesday we deliver vegetable (3
choices) and cheese trays to each of the nine classrooms and every Thursday we
deliver fruit (3 choices) and cheese trays to each of the nine classrooms during
morning "little recess". These trays are free and always "come
back empty"!
Our canteen offers homemade cookies (baked by parents), 100% fruit juices, bottled water, yogurt tubes, fresh fruit, canned fruit, and more for purchase at discounted prices. Most items are 50cents.
Feedback from parents shows this is working! Children are eating fruits and vegetables they would normally never try. The older grades (7-9) who tend to think "it’s not cool to eat healthy" are now participating more, and bringing back empty trays that initially were three-quarters full on return! There is approximately a 75-80% participation rate with the children on the hot menu. We are seeing less processed/pre-packaged foods coming into the school –even on days when a child brings their own full lunch. Chip and ice cream sales are down – cheese strings, water, 100%juices, yogurt tubes are up!
Encouraged by the Home & School parents – children have a snack at
10:10-10:20 am (For trays) and now have 20 minutes first for outdoor recess,
eating for 20 minutes afterwards. Children tend to be hungrier after
being outside and will eat more…of the healthy food provided, that will stay
with them for the rest of the afternoon! It better prepares them for an
afternoon of classes. "Silent Reading" follows the lunch so that there
is some additional time to finish the lunch (if required) while reading.
7. Sports:
Englewood School normally participates in a variety of interscholastic sports throughout the school year. Although small, the School has been able to form competitive teams for both boys and girls in such sports as cross country running, badminton, soccer, track and field and basketball. All coaches are volunteers!! We are thankful to a number of individuals from within our community and school who so graciously devote so many hours for our students!
As there is considerable cost involved in operating an interscholastic sports program, measures have been introduced to curb these costs, while still providing our youth the opportunity to experience these higher-level activities, so important in the formation of tomorrow's citizens.
For a great number of students not inclined to sports on the interscholastic level, our Physical Education program offers a variety of activities in class and during the noon break.
8. Library Books, Team Uniforms, Etc.
Items of school property on loan to students must be returned upon request and in similar condition. Families may be liable for replacement costs if loss or damage occurs.
9. Englewood Band Program:
The Englewood Band Program provides an excellent opportunity for students to develop skills in instrumental music, pursue an interest and love of music as a performing art, and gain valuable life skills in the process. The program begins at the Grade 4 level. Performances will be scheduled throughout the year to highlight and fulfill the role of the different bands (Grade 4, grade 5, Senior, Jazz) as performing groups.
The Band program has the support of a very active and effective Band Parents group which meets regularly to carry out responsibilities detailed in its constitution. In particular, the Band Parents Organization assists through funding, volunteer service, and moral support, especially when the band participates in special events.
REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:
Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday
7:50 - 8:30 a.m. Senior (6-9) 4 Band, 5 Band, Jazz
2:50 - 4:00 p.m. Senior (6-9)
10. Home And School Association:
Parents and teachers are invited to join the Englewood Home and School Association and to become active in their
students' education. This organization has been active at this school for a number of years and has proven invaluable to us. Its primary purpose has been to serve as a link between these two very important institutions in a child's life. Fund-raising and programs to enlighten parents to new curriculum and to help them in parenting skills have been in the forefront of the association's agenda in the past.
School Council:
The Englewood School Council is an advisory body of the school as defined
in Section 66 of the School Act and is established in accordance with the policy set down by the Minister of Education. It represents the interests of all students and exists to provide advice to the principal and to facilitate and encourage co-operation between parents and educators. The membership of the Council includes 5-8 parents, 1 teacher, and the principal.
11. School Attendance:
The School Act addresses school attendance under a number of headings in Part 6 of the act. The provisions are quite specific with respect to the responsibilities of parents and school personnel in the matter of student attendance at school.
Where it appears to the principal that a particular student is frequently absent from school without satisfactory explanation, the principal shall report the matter to the Superintendent of Schools. In order that homeroom teachers may
fulfill their responsibilities under the School Act, parents are asked to provide a satisfactory explanation in writing or by telephone when a student is to be excused from attendance. On the morning of the absence, a parent is asked to make a call to the school office before 9:30 a.m. If the school does not receive a phone call, a call from the school office may be made to the home.
12. School Closure:
Parents will be notified via radio announcements beginning at 7:00 a.m. whenever schools are to be closed due to storms. *Early in the year, we will send home a form for you to fill out and return to school, informing the school where your child should go in the event of school closure - furnace breakdown, power outage, winter storm. We ask parents to discuss with their children the procedures to be followed on storm days. Children should be aware of where they are to go in the event that school is cancelled during the day.
If school is cancelled due to inclement weather, any programs scheduled for that day and evening will also be cancelled.
13. School Health:
Section 115 of the School Act states that the principal may exclude a student from school where it appears necessary in the interest of the other students to protect against the spread of nuisance, notifiable, or regulated diseases.
Pediculosis (head lice) is the most common of the conditions which require students to be treated. Parents are expected to carry out regular checks for pediculosis as part of good family grooming and to report any outbreaks to the school. The School is required to exclude any individual so affected. Students will not be readmitted to class as long as nits (eggs) are present! This policy arises from the fact that even proper washing of hair does not always guarantee dead nits (eggs). Authorization of health from a Public Health official or from a family doctor, presented to the principal, are necessary for readmittance to the School. Englewood public health nurse is Mrs. Peggy Gallant.
Also, periodically school wide checks will be conducted at the school.
14. Lockers:
Lockers are provided for students in Grades 6-9. Lockers are to be kept clean and free of objectionable material at all times. The administration reserves the right to search individual lockers when sufficient reason is present. Students should not leave valuables nor large sums of money in their lockers.
Graffiti in lockers will not be tolerated!
15. Medication:
Students may take medication provided it is under the direction of a physician and provided the parents have so indicated in a note to the school. In some cases, staff may administer such medication, but under no contractual obligation to do so! The school is not permitted to administer aspirin and the like should a student have a headache.
16. Busses:
Bus drivers have a major responsibility for the safety of the students and assistance from parents is always greatly appreciated.
Due to full loads on our busses, the School will no longer be able to honour requests to have students
"hitch" a ride on another bus for the sake of birthday parties, etc. We can, however, allow students to be dropped off at baby-sitters when the school is given sufficient notice by parents.
The safety of the children on the bus is of paramount importance. Each bus has a posted set of rules which all students are asked to respect. If, in the opinion of the driver, a students does not conform to these rules, the driver will explain the infraction to the student and will expect the student to behave appropriately from then on. If a second offence occurs, the administration will explain the infraction to the student, ask for cooperation, and will notify the student's parents. If a third offence occurs, the student may be suspended from bus privileges for up to 3 school days. Should the behavior persist, the school has the authority to suspend bus privileges for an extended period of time. - Certain infractions such as fighting, or throwing items out he window, will result in immediate suspension.
17. Transportation:
No students will be permitted to drive any type of motorized vehicle to school.
This includes vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, go karts, and dirt bikes
18. Parking Lot Safety:
Parents please remember, it is dangerous for vehicles to enter the parking lot nearest Victoria during bus arrival time in the mornings and bus departure time in the afternoons. Please enter the school grounds by way of the driveway nearest Crapaud at these times of the day. This will ensure the safety of our children.
We ask parents to avoid parking on the highway when picking up children ...
please use the parking lot. Pylons will be set up during morning and lunch
recesses to block off the entrance to the school. This is to ensure safety of
the students walking tot he playground areas.
19. Student Fees
In order to help defray the costs associated with transportation, school supplies, art materials, Intramural equipment, Interscholastic sports referees, recognition awards, etc., the school must collect a Student Fee from students in Grades 4-9. The fee is $16 per student, $26 family rate (2 children), with a maximum of $36 per family (3 or more children), and it is to be paid through the Homeroom teacher during the opening month of school in September.
Students in Grades 1,2, and 3 pay a fee of $30 during May and June of the proceeding
school year to cover the costs of their school supplies for the year.
ENGLEWOOD SCHOOL

EASTERN SCHOOL DISTRICT
"Caring Places To Learn" Policy
The Eastern School District's Caring Place to Learn policy is a comprehensive policy designed to ensure that schools in the Eastern District provide a healthy, safe, and supportive working and learning environment for every student and staff member. The Caring Places to Learn policy is an
"umbrella" policy which supports each school's own policies and practices in this area.
Countless personal interactions occur in Eastern District schools every day, and these interactions are the focus of this policy. The policy guides the way people in our school communities treat each other, and the expectations for behaviour for all members of the school community are similar: that we will demonstrate regard, concern, and respect for each other in all our interactions - both inside and outside the classroom - and that we will respect the unique differences and worth of every individual.
Achieving and maintaining this positive climate is the responsibility of everyone involved in education in Eastern District schools - - students, parents, teachers, support staff, and trustees. There are high expectations for all members of school communities, and these expectations are met and exceeded daily on a regular basis. We continually strive to work hard to make sure that our schools are inclusive, supportive, and healthy for all.
The Caring Places to Learn policy covers such specific areas as verbal abuse, violence, bullying discrimination, sexual abuse, threats, trespassing, and weapons. Within these areas, the policy dictates what steps should be taken when allegations of violations of this policy are made. These allegations may involve student to student incidents, student to staff incidents, staff to student incidents, and staff to staff incidents.
Parents in particular are encouraged to inform us immediately about situations which would negatively affect the school's healthy and supportive environment. Sometimes parents are reluctant to contact the school when students may be having a difficult time with a situation, and the situation worsens. We can't guarantee that we can
"fix" every situation, but if the school knows about problems early, we can often take steps to prevent the problem from becoming worse.
Parents are encouraged to become involved with their school to help maintain its safe and caring atmosphere. It's a responsibility of the entire school community.
What's different about this policy from what we're doing now?
Hopefully not very much, because we all are constantly working hard at making our schools caring and safe places to learn. The policy merely sets down, for the first time in our District, what the expectations have always been for the type of learning and working atmosphere we want for our schools.
In order to achieve this caring atmosphere, the policy makes clear the kinds of behaviour that is expected from all members of the school community. It sets down expectations that schools will provide education in interpersonal relations and violence-prevention programs.
The policy also makes clear what should happen if someone breaks the standards of behaviour, and in so doing makes the school environment less caring or safe for someone else.
"The district will not tolerate behaviours that infringe upon the rights of students and/or staff to benefit from a successful and fulfilling working and learning experience in its schools," is an important statement in the policy.
ENGLEWOOD SCHOOL DISCIPLINE POLICY
Rationale:
Most students go through their school years in a very positive way; cooperation with teacher and fellow students is evident, rules are obeyed, and people are generally in a happy frame of mind. However, with some 250 students in one place for six hours each day, there is a likelihood that some students will need some form of disciplinary action for one or more infractions.
The staff has worked to develop a comprehensive discipline policy for the school to provide standards and expectations to guide student conduct in and around the school. The Policy also provides, in clear terms, what actions are to be taken by staff for
behavioral problems. Section 72 of the P.E.I. School Act was used as a basis for the Policy.
The administration has the authority and the duty to deal with misbehaviors that do not fall under the guidelines of the Discipline Policy or with matters which require immediate action as outlined in the School Act and the
"Caring Places to Learn" policy.
Philosophy:
School discipline should protect and nurture the physical, mental, and emotional growth of its students. Regulations are made to protect persons and property and to protect the right to participate in every facet of the educational program. Englewood's Discipline Policy reflects an understanding of human maturation. The School's Policy specifically limits the opportunity of any individual to interrupt his/her own educational growth or that of another student.
The aim of this Discipline Policy is not to punish, but to improve behaviour. It is recognized that the role of adults (school staff and parents) is to guide young individuals to do what is proper in a learning continuum. In the implementation of this policy, a student is afforded a number of chances to correct improper behavior. It is only after many reminders of impropriety that the student is faced with administrative action.
Procedures:
There exist two classifications of misbehavior:
MAJOR INCIDENCES: Some examples:
a. aggression that causes injury or anguish.
b. disrespect toward teachers, support staff, or fellow students.
c. intent to injure.
MINOR INCIDENCES: Some examples:
a. misuse of equipment.
b. running in the hall
c. lack of cooperation.
When a staff member, witnesses an incident outside the classroom, he/she will explain the
"bad choice" to the student concerned and will issue a Reporting Form which the student must take to the
Student Services Room.
Every report issued will be documented by the school. This document must be taken home by the student, signed by a parent/guardian and returned the following school day to the detention room. It is the responsibility of the student to return the form to the
Student Services room...if the form is not returned the following school day, the student will be
lose privileges for another lunch period.
After three behavioral reports, the student will, for the fourth infraction, serve an after school detention. A notice will go home notifying parents/guardians that an after school detention has been issued for the following school day. This will allow an opportunity to set up travel arrangements. After school detentions will begin at 2:50 and end at 4:00.
In the case of a Major incident (as described on the previous page), the Principal can/may, in consultation with parents/guardians, issue a suspension, an in-school suspension or an after school detention. School work assigned during a suspension will have to be completed prior to the student being readmitted to class.
If a student receives any form of suspension (in school or out
of school), the student does not attend the next dance, and other privileges
such as; athletics, assemblies, fun days, field trips, etc. can be removed at
the administration's discretion.
The disciplining of any form of incident such as smoking, stealing, fighting, and those not described above will be the responsibility of administration.
Class Ejections: If a student is asked to leave their classroom and go to
the office by a teacher the following procedure will take place:
When a student is asked to leave their classroom and go to the office, that student must report to the Student Services Room Room the following day, and this form must be signed by a parent. The form is to be returned to the teacher that asked the student to leave. The student is to remain in the Student Services Room (French Room) at lunch until the form is returned.
Home room teachers will be required to maintain records for these forms, as well as detention forms. Any student who receives three Class Ejection Forms will be referred to the office for possible further discipline such as after school detention, suspension, in-school suspension, or other forms of discipline.
At Englewood School it is important that everyone feels safe. We care about each other and we treat each other with kindness and respect. We are free to learn, grow and pursue our personal best.
