CLMS Parent-Student Handbook Section 1: Parent Information: Communication We encourage communication between school and home as much as possible, viewing it as a vital component in our common goal of educating and supporting our students. Parents are encouraged to call or email teachers with questions and concerns that they may have. School counselors are also available, as is our school nurse and the administration. Main Number – 860.443.2837 School Counseling Office – 860.437.6983

Assistant Principal’s Office - 860.437.6979 Health Office – 860.437.6977

To email, type the staff member’s first initial and last name followed by @waterfordschools.org. Also, students and parents can check grade postings anytime throughout the year in PowerSchool.

School Messenger is the system that the district will use to communicate with families via phone and email. Important information is shared on a regular basis, so it is imperative that parents update phone numbers and email addresses annually and as soon as a change occurs during the year. Changes to this information can be reported to Carol Abate in the School Counseling Office. Emergency Closings due to inclement weather and/or emergency situations will be communicated via School Messenger and will be posted on local television stations. Civility (BOE policy 1045): The Board of Education expects staff, students, parents and members of the public, while at school, on school property or at a school function to communicate and act in a manner that exemplifies respect for the dignity and worth of all individuals, regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, pregnancy, gender identity or expression, socioeconomic status, or role within the school community. All adults participating in the school community are expected to communicate and act in a manner consistent with providing positive role models for students. The Board will regulate communications and actions by staff, students, parents and members of the public while at school, on school property or at a school function, when such communications or actions are contrary to these principles. Specifically, the Board will regulate disruptive communications and/or actions by members of the school community that: 1) interfere, disrupt or undermine the effective operation of the school district; 2) are used to engage in harassing, defamatory, obscene, abusive, discriminatory or threatening or similarly inappropriate communications; 3) create a hostile work environment; 4) breach confidentiality obligations of school district staff; or 5) violate the law, board policies and/or other school rules and regulation. Photo/Video Opt-Out Clark Lane Middle School teachers, administrators, and coaches will at times take photographs and videos of students engaged in school activities. These are used by teachers in the form of professional development, as well as by the school to celebrate and communicate the things that are going on throughout our school. At times, these images will be posted to our website or social media, displayed within our school, shared with the media, Board of Education or other uses that are in line with the mission and goals of the district. If you do NOT wish your child’s image to be used in this manner, you must provide that request in writing (email is sufficient) to the administration. Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) Parents are urged to join and take an active part in the PTO. The PTO supports all Clark Lane students in a variety of waysthrough programs, materials, field trips, etc. More involvement means more for everyone. Please visit the CL website for information on meeting times and how you can help!

Distribution of Materials Printed materials may be distributed to parents by students as a means of communications. All requests from groups or individuals to have students distribute materials to the community, with the exception of school-connected organizations; will be referred to the office of the superintendent to determine whether the request complies with school policy. The principal or his/her designee may approve such distribution providing: 1. The material is related to the school, community, or local recreational or civic activity. 2. The material does not relate to any religious belief or activity, or promote private gain. 3. The material does not promote any outside governmental political party, candidate or position. 4. The material does not promote profit making organizations. 5. The material does not advocate a position regarding a referendum question. Fees/Financial Assistance Materials that are part of the basic educational program are provided without charge to students. Students are expected to provide their own supply of pencils and notebooks, although those are provided to any student who needs them. Students/ families may be required to pay certain other expenses, including: field trips, cost of lost or damaged materials or books; materials for a class project; student accident insurance; and insurance on school-owned instruments, and instrument rental. Students will not be denied opportunity to participate in any class or school sponsored activity because of inability to pay for material fees, transportation costs, admission prices, or other related expenses. Any student who needs financial assistance for school activities should contact a school counselor, teacher or administrator to request confidential help. Insurance Early in the school year students will receive information describing low-cost insurance available through a local company. Both twenty-four hour and school-time coverage is available. School-time protection is limited to claims arising from accidents occurring on the way to and from school, during regular school hours, and on field trips sponsored and supervised by the school. Accidents occurring during school-sponsored athletic events are also covered. Information about computer device coverage will be sent out to all parents and guardians.

Health Information The school health office is designated to provide care to students who become ill or are injured while in school. A cumulative health file is maintained for each student. This file includes notations of past illnesses, results of physical examinations, and other pertinent health information. Scoliosis and hearing tests are administered to students in grade 8 and the results are provided to the parents. The School Nurse is on duty during all school hours and is available to parents and students for conferences regarding health issues. Students who are feeling ill should report to their teacher who will then refer them to the nurse. School personnel will render first aid treatment only. If emergency medical treatment is necessary, parents will be contacted. If parents or designated emergency contacts are not available, students will be taken to the emergency room at the hospital. It is important that we have on record accurate emergency contact information so that in the event of illness, parents or delegated contacts can be reached. If a student is to be excused or limited for an extended period from participation in school activities, he/she is required to submit a statement signed by a physician. All students must present evidence of a physical examination upon enrollment to the district. In order to be considered compliant for seventh grade, all physical exams must be done during the sixth grade year. This includes all required immunizations. All students must be immunized against certain diseases and must present a certificate from a physician or local health agency. If the student is not immunized due to medical or religious reasons, a statement from a physician or the parent must be provided. Students with any medical condition which may expose others to disease or contagious and infectious conditions may be excluded from school and referred for medical diagnosis and treatment. Additional information concerning this may be obtained from the school nurse. Before a child may return to school after an absence due to such condition, parents and students may be required to submit medical evidence that their child has recovered sufficiently to prevent exposing others. Medications School personnel are under mandate to handle medications in a very specific manner in accordance with state statutes. Highlights from the statutes are as follows: • No medication will be administered without a completed form, Authorization for the Administration of Medicines by School Personnel. This form must be signed by the student’s physician and parent or legal guardian. This policy

• • •

covers all prescription drugs, and all over-the-counter-medications including aspirin and aspirin substitutes. Forms are available in the Health Office. No medications, prescription or non-prescription, are to be self-administered in school. Medications must be delivered directly to the school nurse or Principal by parents. Medications must be delivered in, and dispensed from, a container properly labeled with the original prescription date, name of doctor and patient, name and strength of medication, and directions for administering.

Section 2: PRIDE Model- Expectations CLMS has adopted a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support) model for teaching and reinforcing common expectations throughout the school. The goal is to create the best possible learning environment for all students through the teaching of expected behaviors, reinforcing positive examples, and addressing misbehavior in a way that is respectful and productive for those involved (limiting recidivism and allowing for restoration when possible). All students should be familiar with the “Super Matrix” located on the inside back cover of the handbook, on the CLMS website, and throughout the building. In addition, individual matrices have been developed for each classroom to outline the specific expectations in those spaces. You will notice that expectations are sorted into three categories, all around developing and demonstrating PRIDE in behavior, learning, and community. • • •

Pride in our behavior reflects personal choices that students make about how they represent themselves, their families, and the community in various settings throughout the building and events held off school campus; Pride in our learning demonstrates the characteristics that enable students to be the best students they can be; and Pride in our community are those things that make the shared school environment safe and comfortable for others.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS/ PRIDE CARDS As part of our PBIS model, it is important that staff recognize students who demonstrate PRIDE in their behavior, their learning, and their community. Staff will acknowledge students by giving them a PRIDE card and by verbally stating to the student why they are receiving it. Students will make sure their first and last name are on the card, as well as their homeroom teacher. As they are walking to or from lunch, or at any other convenient time (not class time), they can bring their cards to the hallway near the old gym to deposit them in to the jar for their grade level. Every Friday, there will be a drawing. Multiple names will be drawn and announced for each grade. Students will report to Mrs. Howards office to find about their award. (List is subject to change throughout the year) There are some specific expectations at the top of the matrix that are relevant across settings and also have been areas of concern around CLMS in the past. Particular attention should be given to the following: Expectation Respond respectfully when any adult speaks to you or makes a request of you. Cell phones, smart watches, devices, headphones/ airpods - off and away, except for clearly-defined classroom use. School devices are to be respected and cared for. No hurtful or abusive language; no swearing. No language directing another to engage in self-harm. No rough-housing/horseplay.

Lunch - Students should go to the cafeteria, unless they have a pass from a teacher.

Brief Explanation Respectful discourse is essential for the proper functioning of a safe school environment. Students are expected to have their phones OFF and AWAY during the school day. This helps us to maintain a focused learning environment.

Students are expected to respect their school issued device and the devices of others to support learning and maintain valuable school resources. Students must not make statements that are discriminatory (racist or bigoted towards a particular person or group), or are offensive in nature as they could be deemed harassment or bullying. Students should never suggest to a peer to hurt himself or herself. Rough housing and horseplay creates unintended safety concerns for those involved and those nearby. Students cannot put others at risk for injury through “fooling around.” Students must be accounted for during lunch, and therefore cannot be anywhere other than the cafeteria without written permission.

After homeroom, only water is allowed outside the cafeteria.

Students cannot carry beverages and snacks throughout the building as spills cause problems with ants and mold. Students will be asked to throw away food or drink that is not finished by the end of homeroom (including coffees, specialty drinks, and other items purchased outside of school).

The following are explanations of other school and district behavioral policies that all students and families should be aware of. **It is important to note that per BOE policy, students are subject to disciplinary action if their misconduct is seriously disruptive of the educational process and violates publicized Board of Education policy even if such conduct occurs offschool property and during non-school time. This is especially relevant in regards to social media use that is harassing towards others creating a hostile and emotionally unsafe environment in the school setting** Bus The district has installed video-recording equipment on school buses to monitor school transportation and discipline. Students violating bus conduct rules will be notified and disciplinary action will be taken. Unsatisfactory student behavior on the bus may result in suspension of transportation services or such other disciplinary action that is appropriate. Videotapes shall be treated as protected student records under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Students are expected to be respectful, helpful and to not interfere with the driver’s ability to do his/her job- which is to safely transport students to and from school. Buying/Selling of Items There is to be no buying or selling of candy, gum, beverages, shoes, or any other item by students to/from students. Cell Phones / Smart Watches / Electronic Devic Cell phones should be turned off, placed in their locker and are not to be used during school hours. Students may ask a teacher for a pass to use the telephone in the main office or in the guidance office for any emergency. Students may access their phones during school hours if given explicit permission from a teacher to do so. There should be no expectation that students can communicate with parents via student cell phones during the school day. Parents should call the office if they need to get a message to their child before the end of the day. An administrator may be contacted if a student does not comply with the cell phone policy. •

• • •

Cell phones and other electronic devices are permitted during the school day ONLY when their use is approved by the teacher in charge and is for an educational purpose. All aspects of the Acceptable Use Policy apply to students’ use of their personal devices. Students are not permitted to take photos or videos of other students while at school, on the bus, or at any school related function unless for an educational purpose with permission from the teacher. If a teacher feels that a student is not using an electronic device for a legitimate purpose, she/he may confiscate the device and submit a referral to the administration. CLMS is not responsible for loss or theft of any electronic device. Parents should review responsible use with their child.

Dress Code (BOE policy 5190) Students are encouraged to dress in clothing appropriate for school. The Board of Education seeks to maintain an environment conducive to the educational process and therefore prohibits the following from wear during the academic school day: • Coats/jackets and other attire normally worn as outwear. • Hats, bandanas, and other non-religious headwear, including sunglasses • Footwear that may damage the floors or pose a safety hazard • Attire or accessories that contain vulgarity or that contain overly offensive or disruptive writing or pictures • Attire or accessories depicting or suggesting violence • Attire or accessories which depict logo or emblems that encourage use of drugs, tobacco products or alcoholic beverages • Shirts and/or blouses which reveal the abdomen, chest, or undergarments. • See-through clothing, tank tops or sleeveless shirts. • Shorts, miniskirts, or pants which reveal the upper thigh or undergarments.

General Rule regarding clothing: All students should be covered from their mid-chest to mid-thigh range, with no undergarments exposed (this includes pants being pulled up over hips and sleeves covering all straps) Unsafe Behavior / Horseplay / Hands on Others Physical play such as pushing, wrestling, and “rough-housing”, etc. can lead to injuries. While this outcome may be unintentional, this kind of physically assertive behavior is dangerous in crowded halls and will result in consequences. Substance Abuse (BOE Series 5000) The school prohibits the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of alcohol or controlled substances, including marijuana, or intoxicants of any kind, on school grounds or during school activities. This includes any over the counter substance used not as intended. Students shall not possess, smoke or otherwise use tobacco-based products, including electronic cigarettes, or any type of vaping device- tobacco, or non-tobacco- on school property or at any school-related or school-sanctioned activity. Weapons and Dangerous Instruments (BOE Series 5000) No guns, knives, other weapons, weapons facsimiles or threatening objects, including martial arts weapons, capable of threatening or causing injury or death, may be brought onto school grounds or to a school sponsored activity. Any object used to cause injury will be considered a weapon. Violators will be subject to arrest and prosecution as well as appropriate disciplinary action. Any student found to be in possession of a weapon on school grounds or during a school-activity will be referred to the Board of Education for an expulsion hearing. Harassment / Sexual Harassment (BOE Series 5000) Teasing, taunting, or otherwise disrespecting the rights of others is not tolerated at Clark Lane Middle School. Sexual comments, innuendos, or advances will not be tolerated. Comments regarding race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or physical attributes will not be tolerated. Any student who believes that he or she has been subjected to harassment should report the alleged misconduct immediately to the Principal or Assistant Principal, either verbally, or through the filing of a formal complaint.

SCHOOL CLIMATE POLICY: All schools must support and promote teaching and learning environments where all students thrive academically and socially, have a strong and meaningful voice, and are prepared for lifelong success. Implementation of the following set of guiding principles and systemic strategies will promote a positive school climate, which is essential to achieving these goals. This policy sets forth the framework for an effective and informed school climate improvement process, which includes a continuous cycle of (i) planning and preparation, (ii) evaluation, (iii) action planning, and (iv) implementation, and serves to actualize the Connecticut School Climate Standards, as detailed herein. The Board recognizes that improving school climate is contextual. Each school needs to consider its history, strengths, needs, and goals. Furthermore, this policy will support and promote the development of restorative action plans that will create and sustain safe and equitable learning environments. Board of Education Policy 5025 and Regulation 5025 articulate outline additional requirements under Connecticut General Statutes Sections 10-222aa et seq. regarding the reporting of, assessment of, and responses to challenging behavior and bullying. At Clark Lane, the Assistant Principal is responsible for investigating reports of challenging behavior and bullying.

Section 3: Discipline Procedures/ Process We believe every student has the right to feel safe and comfortable coming to school. Every student has the right to learn in a calm, organized, and well-managed classroom. Students who infringe on these rights will be subject to intervention and/or disciplinary action. Expected behaviors are outlined in the matrix in the inside front cover of this handbook. Infractions are documented on a referral form, and categorized as either a MINOR or a MAJOR. A MINOR infraction is one that a staff member handles on his or her own, whereas a MAJOR infraction is one that is referred immediately to an administrator to be addressed. For a MINOR infraction, the staff member will have a conversation with the student about his or her behavior and reteach the expected behavior. In addition, the staff member may offer an opportunity for a restorative intervention (such as a

mediation between two students in a conflict.) or may issue a consequence (such as a “teacher detention”- see below for information about this particular action). Any teacher who completes a referral form for a MINOR infraction for one of their students will communicate with a parent about the referral. The “Actions Taken” will be recorded and the referral will be submitted to the office for entry into our SWIS (School Wide Information System) database. The PRIDE committee (which is comprised of several staff members and administration) will review this referral data to look at both whole school and individual trends. Whole school trends will be addressed by administration with staff (i.e. a pattern of referrals when kids return from lunch would indicate a need to increase adult supervision in the area). Patterns with individual student data will be addressed with the student, parent, and team (i.e. a student who has received several referrals in different settings for disrespectful language would indicate a need for either different consequences, or additional support or intervention to eliminate the behavior). It is important to note that 3 MINOR referrals in the same category = a MAJOR infraction, which means the repeated “minor” behavior will be addressed by administration and consequences could be more significant. Teacher Detentions are held with the teacher who assigned it. Students are given written notification of their detention at least 24 hours prior to the date it is to be served (minor referral form). Detention begins promptly at 2:40 and ends at 3:40. Failure to report for a teacher detention will result in further consequences. MAJOR referrals are for those behaviors that are extremely disruptive to the educational environment and impacts the rights of others to learn. Please review the referral form which has descriptions of those things that immediately constitute administrative intervention. Students who are referred to administration with an outright MAJOR offense, or a series of related MINOR offenses, will have the opportunity to meet with either the Principal or the Assistant Principal. At that meeting, the student will have the

opportunity to share his/her perception of the events and provide any information that would help the administrator understand the situation in its entirety. It is our goal that students who make a decision that results in a referral to the office will be able to identify what they did and the possible reason(s) why, how it impacted others, how they can make amends if needed, and what they can do to ensure it doesn’t happen again. As a result of the meeting, a number of things could happen: A consequence may be issued* A meeting with the administrator, a teacher, and the student may occur A referral to the school counselor, social worker, or school psychologist might be made. A mediation might occur between two or more students A phone call and/or parent meeting may be scheduled A referral to SRBI for additional behavioral supports might be made Or an alternative task/ consequence might be developed for a student given a unique circumstance *Disciplinary actions may include office level consequences such as lunch detention, afterschool detention, Friday Detention, temporary removal from class, or in-school suspension. Out-of-school suspension is used sparingly and only in cases when a student poses an immediate threat to him/herself or others, or engages in misconduct while in in-school suspension. Afterschool Office Detention Office Detentions are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays when late busses are offered. ODs are issued by school administrators for violation of school rules or procedures. Students are given written notification of their detention at least 24 hours prior to the date it is to be served. A copy of the discipline referral will be mailed to parents/guardians as well. Detention begins promptly at 2:40 and ends at 3:40. Failure to report for a detention will result in additional consequences. Students will not be excused from detention for extra-curricular events or activities. Students may take the late bus home. Lunch Detention Lunch detentions can be assigned by an administrator for those infractions directly relating to behavior in the cafeteria, or for other infractions where separation from peers in that setting is an appropriate consequence. Students will be told where to report for their lunch detention. Students who need to get lunch from the cafeteria will report directly to the lunch line to go through at the beginning so they can arrive promptly to their detention. Late arrival could mean additional lunch detentions will be assigned. Friday Detention A Friday Detention is a more significant consequence than a regular afterschool detention, as it is offered on a Friday afternoon, and runs until 4:30 PM. Students who are issued a Friday detention will need to have their own transportation arranged promptly at the conclusion of their detention as there are no late busses available. Bus Suspensions The administration may suspend transportation services for any student whose conduct while waiting for, or receiving, transportation, to and from school, endangers persons or property or violates a publicized Board policy. In-School Suspension (ISS) In-School Suspension is served in our AP Support Room / ISS Room. Students are given their academic assignments and are instructed to work cooperatively and quietly. Failure to be cooperative and productive may result in further disciplinary action. While in ISS, students are ineligible for participation in after-school activities (including but not limited to clubs, sports, dances, activity nights, team activities, field trips) unless their ISS assignment ends before 11:00 A.M. on the day of the activity/event. When issuing an in-school suspension, the administration will make every effort to contact the parent immediately, but reserves the right to hold the student in the office or suspension room until such contact can be made. In addition, a parent meeting may be requested prior to the end of the suspension to establish a re-entry plan that includes strategies to help ensure the behavior does not repeat. Out-of-School Suspension (OSS) Out-of-School Suspensions are served at home and are reserved for those situations in which a student poses a threat to self or others. Parents are instructed to pick up academic assignments after 2:35 P.M. of the first day of suspension so students can work on their assignments at home. While on suspension, students are ineligible for

participation in any school activities (including but not limited to clubs, sports, dances, activity nights, field trips). In addition, a parent meeting may be requested prior to the end of the suspension to establish a re-entry plan that includes strategies to help ensure the behavior does not repeat. Expulsion Students may be expelled from school for up to one full year for serious violations of the discipline code. The Board of Education may expel students from school privileges if, after a full hearing, the Board finds that the students’ conduct on school grounds or at a school-sponsored activity endangers person(s), or property or is seriously disruptive of the educational process or is in violation of a publicized Board policy. In addition, the Board of Education may similarly expel students if it finds that the conduct off school grounds is in violation of such policy and is seriously disruptive of the educational process. Students who have been expelled will be eligible for an alternative educational program. Expulsion from school will result in the loss of all extra-curricular and social privileges during the period of expulsion. In determining whether conduct is “seriously disruptive of the education process” for purposes of suspension and expulsion, the administration, and the Board of Education or impartial hearing board, may consider, but consideration is not limited to: (1) Whether the incident occurred within close proximity of a school, (2) Whether other students were involved, or whether there was gang involvement, (3) Whether the conduct involved violence, threats of violence, or the unlawful use of a weapon and whether any injuries occurred, and (4) Whether the conduct involved the use of alcohol, drugs or intoxicant of any kind. Students should be aware that a school campus is not immune to the law. Illegal acts of any kind will not be tolerated and can result in referral to the School Resource Officer or other member of the Waterford Police Dept. While any infraction which disrupts the educational environment will be met with strict behavioral consequences in school, acts which threaten or endanger the safety of others will result in off-campus suspensions and possibly expulsion from school for up to a full year. (Refer to BOE Policy #5180 for further information) Search and Seizure The right to inspect desks, lockers and other equipment assigned to students may be exercised by school officials to safeguard students, their property and school property. An authorized school administrator may search a student’s locker or desk under the following conditions: 1. There is reason to believe that the student’s desk/locker contains contraband material. 2. The probable presence of contraband material presents a serious threat to the maintenance of discipline, order, safety and health in school. This document serves as advance notice that School Board policy allows desks and lockers to be inspected if the administration has reason to believe that materials injurious to the best interests of students and the school are contained therein. Under special circumstances, school officials may search students, particularly if there is reasonable suspicion that a student possesses illegal matter, such as a dangerous weapon or illegal drugs. Students must be aware that such items are forbidden both on school property and at school-related activities. Disciplinary Appeal Process The student appeal process for discipline must be started within two (2) school days of assignment of discipline consequence. If a student believes that a classroom decision is unfair, the student has the right to appeal by asking to speak with the teacher on non-class time. Then, if necessary, the student may: 1. Schedule a meeting with parent, teacher, and student. 2. Schedule a meeting with the parent, teacher, student and Assistant Principal. If a student believes that a decision made by the Assistant Principal is unfair, the student has the right to appeal by: 1. Scheduling a meeting with the Assistant Principal 2. Scheduling a meeting with the parent and the Assistant Principal. 3. Scheduling a meeting with the parent, student, and Principal. NOTE: The disciplinary appeal process stops with the decision of the Principal.

Major (Administrator-Managed) The following is a guideline for progressive discipline that the Administrator will use for the majority of students (Tier 1). Every situation is different, and so variations to this progression could occur (i.e. an alternative consequence or opportunity for restoration; or a more significant consequence if the behavior within the category is extreme). Some potential variations are noted below. Students who demonstrate repeated difficulties adhering to school expectations (repeat offenders -Tier 2/Tier 3) will be referred to a disciplinary review team, Student Assistance Team (STAT), and/or Planning and Placement Team (PPT). Interventions and supports will be put in place and alternate consequence plans may be developed. BUS REFERRALS- Misbehavior on the bus could fall into any category below. Assigned seat and/or Bus Suspension are potential consequences in addition to consequences listed below. Defiance/Insubordination 1 Office Detention 2 Office Detentions Friday Detention -Blatant refusal of directions/request of adult If the student behavior creates a safety concern or alarm amongst other students, in charge then a more significant consequence may be imposed.

-Drugs, alcohol, weapons: BOE Policy 5131.6 defines actions to take and when a student is believed to be in possession of or under the influence of drugs/alcohol (3 ISS- 10 OSS; potential for expulsion); Referral to police and/or assistance program. BOE Policy 5114 defines weapons and other dangerous instruments and delineates levels of consequences up to and including mandatory expulsion (see below). Bullying/Harassment- BOE Policy 5131.911 outlines the reporting and investigation procedure for bullying. Students who are found to be perpetrators of bullying through investigation will receive consequences (2 – 10 days ISS), other remedial actions (such as change to class schedule, and other restrictions within the building), a support/ intervention plan to ensure behavior doesn’t continue (i.e. counseling), and possible referral to law enforcement. If a bullying complaint raises concern about discrimination or harassment on the basis of a legally protected classification (such as race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age or disability), an additional investigation under Title IX / BOE Policy 5145.5 will occur. Consequences for behavior off school grounds or outside of school hours: Students may be disciplined for conduct off school grounds if such conduct is seriously disruptive of the educational process and violative of a publicized policy of the Board. In making a determination as to whether such conduct is seriously disruptive of the educational process, the Administration and the Board of Education may consider, but such consideration shall not be limited to, the following factors: (1) whether the incident occurred within close proximity of a school; (2) whether other students from the school were involved or whether there was any gang involvement; (3) whether the conduct involved violence, threats of violence, or the unlawful use of a weapon, as defined in Conn. Gen. Stat. Section § 29-38, and whether any injuries occurred; and (4) whether the conduct involved the use of alcohol... or the use of drugs.

Mandatory Expulsion- Per BOE Policy 5114, “A principal must recommend expulsion if a student: 1. was in possession on school grounds or at a school-sponsored activity of a deadly weapon, dangerous instrument, martial arts weapon, or firearm…; or 2. off school grounds, possessed a firearm…, or possessed and used a firearm…, a deadly weapon, a dangerous instrument or a martial arts weapon in the commission of a crime …; or 3. was engaged on or off school grounds in offering for sale or distribution a controlled substance…, whose manufacturing, distribution, sale, prescription, dispensing, transporting, or possessing with intent to sell or dispense, offering or administering is subject to criminal penalties…”

CLMS REDO/RETAKE POLICY - 2026-2027 We believe in a growth mindset and value that the learning process varies for each student. While students are expected to put forth their best effort on all assignments, some students may require additional time and instruction to master content. To this end, Clark Lane teachers encourage students to try again when they do not achieve mastery. Retake Guidelines •

• • • •

Students will be given the opportunity to retake all major assessments they have not mastered (scores less than 75% or below proficiency on rubric). These include summative assessments such as unit tests and tasks directly related to the standards presented in the curriculum. Other graded assignments may be retaken at teacher discretion. When students retake assessments, the higher score will be used to calculate the final grade. The original score will be noted in the comment section in PowerSchool. A minimum of one retake per major assessment will be offered; additional retakes will be offered at teacher discretion. Teacher will indicate to students if an assignment is eligible for a retake and will note if the student took advantage of the opportunity. Teacher may decide to modify the format of the assessment based on individual student needs.

Retake Protocol • • • •

•

The student must make a request for a retake within five school days from the date the assessment is returned. Per teacher discretion, this timeframe may be extended. The retake does not need to take place within five days of the grade being shared. The student will be given a sufficient amount of time to relearn the content prior to a retake. The student and teacher will both agree to a learning remediation plan prior to a retake. This plan will include an understanding of why the student did not reach mastery and an outline of steps to improve chances of success. Teachers may use the CLMS Learning Remediation Plan. Parents will be notified if a pattern of refused retakes is observed, and he student may also be referred to the STAT team.

Grading System/Mastery Based Grading Pilot CLMS has been engaged in a journey of enhancing our reporting practice to ensure that the “grades” we issue to students reflect mastery of content which is the indicator of success that is our goal as a learning institution. Our redo/retake policy is a piece of this journey indicating that not every student learns at the same pace and sometimes additional opportunities to demonstrate mastery are necessary. We do not believe students’ grades should be impacted by this natural difference in learning acquisition. A second piece of this journey is the development of a “Habits of Work Rubric” or HOW. This is an alternative way to assess and communicate to students and parents those things that, when incorporated in a regular grade, make that grade misleading. A group of teachers have piloted the HOW Rubric. The goal of using this rubric is to give clarity to these skills and how they impact students and their learning, and give clarity to the grade that is seen in PowerSchool. That grade will be a truer reflection of mastery of content. Please review the Habits of Work Rubric (HOW) on the next page.

Clark Lane Middle School Habits of Work

The purpose of this rubric is for you to understand the difference between your work habits (organization, participation, and timeliness) and your academic achievement (the quality of the work you submit).

This is based on the principle that Clark Lane Middle School will: ● Clearly communicate expectations for academic achievement and work habits. ● Show how students are making progress in their classes (in terms of both academic achievement and work habits). ● Support a fair grading system.
