Overarching Principles of Holt’s Discipline Plan
HAWK PRINCIPLES

Please read this excerpt from the Student Parent Handbook regarding the MTSS Discipline Plan. If you have any questions regarding this system, please contact an MTSS team member. 

Every person deserves to be respected, to feel safe, and be free from danger. Learning is enhanced in a safe environment. The establishment of academic and behavioral expectations enhance learning. Students will be expected to conduct themselves in respectful and responsible ways.

Federal law makes it illegal for school personnel or parents/guardians to share personal information regarding other children. Parents will only be given pertinent information of the actions of their child. The school will protect the confidentiality of all parties involved.
Please refer to “Behavior Expectations” for a list of our school’s four basic rules.

Good behavior is the focus at Holt Elementary! Each teacher has a discipline plan outlining expected student behaviors and consequences. You may request a written copy of the discipline plan for your child’s class at any time. School-wide expectations are centered on good manners that promote a positive atmosphere in the school, and a respect for self and others. Holt Elementary’s Four Basic Rules are as follows: (1) Be Kind, (2) Be Safe, (3) Be Responsible, and (4) Follow School-Wide Procedures. Fighting, swearing, bullying, vandalizing, and stealing have serious consequences; as do disrespectful comments and gestures. These actions could result in suspension or expulsion. See more information listed in this booklet regarding an outline of behavior expectations and consequences, including positive behavior supports.

Regular and consistent school attendance AND punctuality is essential for student growth and achievement. Success in school is dependent upon good attendance! In accordance with Utah State Law (Utah Code §53A- 11-103) and Davis School District Policy, it is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that their children are in attendance and punctual each school day. It is imperative, with the assistance of parents, children learn to be responsible in arriving to school on time. There should be no checking out of students for baby-sitting, shopping, or running errands.

While parents have the legal right to take their son or daughter out of school, they do not have the right to violate the state and district mandatory attendance law, which requires at least 90% attendance for each student – or not missing more than 18 days of school per year. Parents of students that are continually tardy or absent may be referred to the school’s Local Case Management Team and/or Davis School District Case Management Team for further assistance in helping increase attendance and/or punctuality.

Parents are always welcome in the classroom; however, teachers and administration appreciate appointments being made prior to such visits to the classroom. All visitors must check-in at the office for a visitor badge. Parents should not stay in the classroom for visiting purposes for long periods of time or on a frequent basis, as this could be considered a distraction, not only for the child of the parent, but also other school children and the classroom teacher. School-age relatives and friends, who are visiting, are not allowed to attend class with your child(ren). Preschool and young children should not visit classrooms due to the potential distraction that it may cause.

During the school year, the school may have to cancel classes before the scheduled dismissal time (see “Bell Schedule") due to weather conditions or other unforeseen reasons. If weather conditions or other factors force the closing of school, the following number and radio station will carry the announcement: Telephone - 801-402-5500 / Radio - KSL 1160. The district webpage at www.davis.k12.ut.us can also be accessed for current up to date information on potential school closures.
         Students need to know where they should go in case of an early dismissal. Experience has shown that many parents fail to inform their child(ren) where they should go in case of an emergency school closure. Phone lines become overloaded, making it so parents cannot call in, and students cannot call out. Parents should arrange a contingency plan for such emergencies prior to school starting each fall, to allow our phone lines to remain clear for emergency calls. Emergency contacts should be updated with the office. In the event of evacuation from the school, our alternate location for pick-up of students will be the LDS chapel that is just south of the school on 1000 West. Students will ONLY be released to parents, guardians, or emergency contacts that parents have listed on the white registration card.

Our Community Council is composed of parents and school staff. Our Community Council meets several times throughout the school year for the purpose of school improvement. Anyone is welcome to attend these meetings, and agendas are posted prior to each meeting. Matters for discussion may be added to the agenda by calling or e-mailing the council chair. For information on who the chair of the Community Council is, or to access agendas or minutes, please visit our Community Council Page here.

Emergency drills are conducted periodically, according to state and district regulations. Fire drills are required to be performed once a month.

Teachers will review designated safety routes with students. Emergency evacuation routes and procedures are posted in each room. In addition, each classroom has an emergency backpack with basic supplies and student emergency contact information. In the event of having to evacuate the school, our alternate location for housing students is the LDS Church, located just south of the school on 1000 West. Please see the “Standard Response Protocol” page located in the First Day Packet for additional information on the drills that are completed throughout the year.

For the safety of our students, children who leave school at a time other than regular dismissal times, are to be dismissed to parents, guardians, or authorized adults only. This must be done through the Holt Elementary School Office. This dismissal process will consist of:

1.  Parents/Guardians/Authorized Adults must come to the office and sign their student out. It is not safe for us to release students over the phone, so we ask your compliance with this request. Your child cannot be released from the classroom until you arrive in the office to sign him/her out.

2.  The student will be called to the office.

3.  The student will walk to the office to meet the parent/guardian/authorized adult.

4.  The parent/guardian will check the child out from school using the computer.

5.  The parent/guardian/authorized adult and student will leave the building together.

6.   Please be aware that parents/guardians may be asked to show proper identification before having a child released to them.

7.  If you have someone other than a parent/guardian checking out your child, please ensure that they are listed as an “Emergency Contact” and inform them they will need to show proper identification.

NO STUDENT IS TO EVER LEAVE THE SCHOOL UNLESS IT IS THROUGH THE SCHOOL OFFICE. WE CANNOT BE TOO CAREFUL ON THIS MATTER.

Students should come to school appropriately dressed for learning. School officials may prohibit the following types of clothing at school or school activities: extreme or slovenly clothing, including but not limited to: baggy or “sagging” pants or shorts, excessively oversized jackets or coats, inappropriately short, tight or revealing shorts, skirts, dresses, shirts, etc.; clothing that is overly  torn ripped or frayed;  bare or stocking feet; clothing which displays obscene, vulgar, lewd or sexually explicit words, messages or pictures; hats, bandannas, or head scarves; extreme coloring of hair, including but not limited to mohawks; clothing attachments or accessories which could be considered weapons, including but not limited to spikes on 

boots, bracelets or chokers, chains on wallets or belts, etc.; exaggerated cosmetics and body paint; exaggerated body piercing; clothing that exposes bare midriffs, buttocks or undergarments; spaghetti strap tank tops, halter tops, or other low-cut, off the shoulder clothing; clothing that advertises a substance a student cannot legally possess or use (i.e., tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs); belts worn excessively long in the front and hanging on either side; belt buckles with the initials of the person or gang etched on it; any item that is a representation of a gang. Dress code violations will be handled on a case by case basis.

Scope
Electronic devices have become a common means of communication and information access in today’s society. However, these devices have the potential of disrupting the orderly operation of the school. The school has therefore created this policy to govern the possession and use of electronic devices on school premises, during school hours, at school-sponsored activities, and on school transportation.
Definition
For purposes of this policy, “Electronic Device” means a privately owned wireless and/or portable electronic handheld equipment that include, but are not limited to, existing and emerging mobile communication systems and smart technologies (cell phones, smartphones, walkie-talkies, pagers, etc.), portable internet devices (mobile managers, mobile messengers, BlackBerry ™ handset, etc.), Personal Digital Assistants (PDA’s, Palm organizers, pocket PCs, etc.), handheld entertainment systems (video games, CD players, compact DVD players, MP3 players, iPods ©, Walkman ™ devices, etc.), and any other convergent communication technologies that do any number of the previously mentioned functions. Electronic Device also include any current or emerging wireless handheld technologies or portable information technology systems that can be used for word processing, wireless Internet access, image capture/recording, sound recording, and information transmitting/receiving/storing, etc.
Possession and Use
Students may possess and use electronic devices at school subject to the following:
1.   Students may possess electronic devices at school and school-sponsored activities as long as the device is powered down and kept in a backpack.
2.   Use of electronic devices during the school day, including recess and lunchtime, is prohibited. They must be completely powered down, turned off, and kept out of sight.
3.   Students may use electronic devices before 8:45 a.m. and after the final bell of the school day, so long as they do not create a distraction or disruption.
4.   Use of electronic devices on school buses is at the discretion of the bus driver. Distracting behavior that creates an unsafe environment will not be tolerated.
5.   Use of electronic communication devices is not allowed on any other portion of the school campus at any time, including school-sponsored activities, unless in an emergency as defined by school staff exists.
Prohibitions
Electronic devices shall not be used in a way that threatens, humiliates, harasses, or intimidates school-related individuals, including students, employees, and visitors, or violates local, state, or federal law. Electronic devices may not be used during Utah Performance Assessment System for Students unless specifically allowed by law, student IEP, or assessment directions.
Confiscation
If a student violates this policy, his/her electronic device may be confiscated. When an employee confiscates an electronic device under this policy, he/she shall take reasonable measures to label and secure the device and turn the device over to a school administrator, as soon as the employee’s duties permit. The electronic device will be released/returned to the student’s parent or guardian after the student has complied with any other disciplinary consequence that is imposed.
Security of Devices
Students shall be personally and solely responsible for the security of electronic devices brought to school. The school shall not assume any responsibility for theft, loss, damage, or unauthorized calls made with an electronic device. If devices are loaned to or borrowed and misused by non-owners, device owners are jointly responsible for the misuse or policy violation(s).
Prohibitions on Audio Recordings
Camera or audio recording functions of electronic devices may pose threats to the personal privacy of individuals, used to exploit personal information, and or compromise the integrity of educational programs. Accordingly, the use of the audio recording or camera functions of electronic devices is strictly prohibited on school premises at all times.
Potential Disciplinary Action
-At the discretion of administration, violation of this policy may result in discipline up to and including suspension or expulsion, and notification of law enforcement authorities.
-A student who violates this policy may be prohibited from possession of an electronic device at school or school-related events.
-Confiscation of device for increasing periods of time for subsequent violations.
-In-school suspension.
-Out of school suspension.
-Notification of law enforcement, at school’s discretion, if circumstances warrant such notification.
Exceptions
With prior approval of the principal, the above prohibitions may be relaxed under the following circumstances:
-The use is specifically required to implement a student’s current and valid IEP.
-The use is at the direction of a teacher for educational purposes.
-The use is determined by the principal to be necessary for other special circumstances, health-related reasons, or emergency.

It is vitally important that parents and guardians keep the school informed as to current emergency contacts (including when parents leave on vacation and leave their children in the care of another adult). When filling out the registration cards in the spring of each year and when registering a new student, please include home and cell number for parents, and phone number for several relatives or friends. These secondary contacts should be people you would be comfortable releasing your child to in case of an emergency. If any of these names or numbers should change, please notify the school office immediately. We will not release your child to anyone not designated by you as listed on the emergency contact list.

If your child must leave school during the school day, please send a note with him/her. Your child can then come to the office and wait for you. A parent or legal guardian must come into the office and sign out their child on the computer. (See DISMISSAL FROM SCHOOL procedures). We request that you do not excuse your child by telephone. For safety reasons, please only check your child out through the main office. Please know that anyone checking a child out of school may be asked to show photo ID when picking up a child. We appreciate your cooperation with this safety measure.

The office is open on school days from 8:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. School administration and office staff will be happy to help you with any questions or concerns you may have. Parents must make every effort to pick up their child(ren) promptly after school.

Criminal acts or disruptive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated and any individual who engages in such activity will be subject to school disciplinary action as determined by school administrators, or District disciplinary action as determined by the District Case Management Team. Criminal acts that are a class B misdemeanor or above (including but not limited to drug possession or physical assault) may also be referred to law enforcement. In determining appropriate discipline, school officials will consider the totality of the circumstances, including the severity of the offense, as well as the individual’s age, disability status, intent, academic status, and prior disciplinary records.

WEAPONS AND EXPLOSIVES – UP TO ONE YEAR EXPULSION (Utah Code 53G-8-205)

Any student who in a school building, in a school vehicle, on District property, or in conjunction with any school activity, possesses, controls, sales, arranges for the sale of, uses or threatens use of a real weapon, explosive, noxious or flammable material, or actually uses or threatens to use a look-alike or pretend weapon with the intent to intimidate another person or to disrupt normal school activities, shall be expelled from all District schools, programs, and activities for a period of not less than one calendar year; unless the District Case Management Team determines, on a case-by-case basis, that a lesser consequence would be more appropriate.

NONDISCRIMINATION IN DISCIPLINE

The District will ensure that students are not discriminated against in the administration of discipline, including the duration and type of consequence, and in referrals to law enforcement.

DUE PROCESS

When a student is suspected of violating [name of your school] or District policy the school administrator must meet with and inform him/her of the allegations and provide the student the opportunity to give his/her version of the incident. If the school administrator determines sufficient evidence exists to impose discipline the school administrator shall notify the parent that 1) this student has been suspended; 2) grounds for the suspension; 3) the period of time for which the student is suspended; and 4) the time and place for the parent to meet a designated school official to review the suspension.

AUTHORITY TO SUSPEND OR EXPEL

SEARCH AND SEIZURE

School officials have the authority to search a student’s person, personal property, or vehicle while located on school property or at a school sponsored activity, when they have reasonable grounds to believe that the search will turn up evidence that the student has violated or is violating a particular law or school rule.

School Lockers, desks, or other storage areas are the sole property of the Davis School District and [name of your school]. Periodic general inspections of school lockers may be conducted by school authorities randomly without notice, without student consent, and without a search warrant. Searches will be conducted in such a way as to be short in duration and not disrupt educational activities.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

The District will ensure that students have an equal opportunity to participate in, create, and maintain student groups without regard to their race, sex, disability, or other protected classification.

However, students who are suspended, transferred to an alternative placement, or expelled, may lose the privilege of participation in all extracurricular activities, such as interscholastic athletics, cheerleading, student government, student clubs, graduation ceremonies, and other extracurricular activities, during the period of discipline and will not be afforded separate due process procedures to challenge the denial of participation in an extracurricular activity.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION REQUIREMENT

A parent having custody over a school-age minor is required under State law to enroll and send a school-age minor to a public or established private school during the school year in the district in which the minor resides. The process of education requires continuity of instruction, class participation and study. Parents are encouraged to work with the school in promoting regular attendance of all students.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT

Student Education Records The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student’s education records. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their student’s education records. These rights are:

1. Inspect and review all their student’s education records maintained by the school within 45 days of a request for access.

2. Request that a school correct education records believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. Parents who wish to ask the school to amend a record should write the principal or appropriate school official, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent, the school will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.

3. Provide consent before the school discloses personally identifiable information (PPI) from a student’s record, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. Such exceptions include, but are not limited to: [a] school officials with legitimate educational interests; [b] other schools to which a student is transferring; [c] individuals who have obtained court orders or subpoenas; [d] individuals who need to know in cases of health and safety emergencies; [e] official in the juvenile justice system to improve education outcomes; [f] a State agency or organization that is legally responsible for the care and protection of the student, including the responsibility to investigate a report of educational neglect; [g] specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes; or [h] organizations conducting studies for or on behalf of the District.

A school official is a person employed by the District as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving as a volunteer; a person serving on the District School Board; a person or company with whom the District has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist), or to whom the District has outsourced institutional services or functions. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

Student Directory Information Directory Information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, may be released at the discretion of school officials, without consent, for appropriate reasons such as, school publications, newspaper articles, and to outside education related organizations. In addition, two federal laws require secondary schools to provide military recruiters, upon request, the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of their students. The Davis School District has designated the following information as directory information: 1) student’s name, address, and telephone number; 2) student’s date and place of birth; 3) grade level and enrollment status; 4) student’s District email address; 5) student’s ID number that is displayed on a student ID badge; 6) parent email address; 7) participation in officially recognized activities and sports; 8) weight and height of members of athletic teams; 9) dates of attendance; 10) degrees, honors, and awards received; 11) most recent educational institution attended by the student; 12) student’s digital image.

The following shall be considered limited use directory information that may be disclosed only to other students enrolled in the same course (regardless of whether such students are enrolled in the same class section) that has been audio or video recorded by the District, for instructional and educational purposes only: 1) name to the extent it is referenced or captured during the audio or video recordings; 2) any photograph or image of the student captured during the audio or video recording; 3) any audio or video recording of the student participating in the course; and 4) any online chats or other recorded communications among participants in the course captured during the audio or video recording.

To protect the privacy of other students, parents/students are not permitted to make their own recordings of class sessions or to share or distribute District recordings of class sessions.

If you, as a parent do not want [name of your school] to disclose limited directory information of your child without your prior written consent, you must notify the school in writing annually.

Parents who believe their rights have been violated may contact the school’s administration or file a complaint with:

Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20202-5920 (202) 260-3887 Informal inquiries may be sent to FPCO via the following email address: FERPA@ED.Gov For additional information please visit the SPPO website at the following address: https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/

Complaints should be reported as soon as possible, but not later than 180 days from the date you learned of the circumstances of the alleged violation.

RIGHTS UNDER THE PROTECTION OF PUPIL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) affords parents certain rights regarding the use of surveys or other school activities which may involve the collection or use of protected information. These include the right to:

Consent before students are required to participate in any survey, analysis, or evaluation that reveals information, whether personally identifiable or not, concerning the student’s or any family member’s: [a] political affiliations or beliefs; [b] mental or psychological problems; [c] sexual behavior, orientation, or attitudes [d] illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating, or demeaning behavior; [e] critical appraisals of others with whom the student or family have close family relationships; [f] legally recognized privileged relationships, such as with lawyers, doctors, or ministers; [g] religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs; or [h] income, other than as required by law to determine program eligibility. Receive notice and an opportunity to opt a student out of activities involving collection, disclosure, or use of personal information obtained from students regarding any of the protected information areas. Inspect, upon request and before administration or use of: [a] protected information surveys designed to be administered to students; and [b] instructional material used as part of the educational curriculum.

Davis School District has policies in place to protect student privacy as required by both State and Federal law. [name of your school] will directly notify you of the specific or approximate dates of activities which involve the collection or use of protected information and provide an opportunity to opt your student out of participating in such activities.

Parents who believe their rights have been violated may contact the school’s administration or file a complaint with:

Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20202-5920 (202) 260-3887 Informal inquiries may be sent to FPCO via the following email address: PPRA@ED.Gov

For additional information please visit the SPPO website at the following address: https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag shall be recited by students at the beginning of each school day in each public school classroom in the State, led by a student in the classroom, as assigned by the classroom teacher on a rotating basis. Participation in the Pledge is voluntary and not compulsory.

RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

In compliance with existing federal and State law regarding religion and religious expression in public schools, the District or school may neither advance nor inhibit religion. It is the District’s policy to: 1) allow students and employees to engage in expression of personal religious views or beliefs within the parameters of current law; and 2) maintain the schools’ official neutrality regarding sectarian religious issues according to the constitutional principle of separation between church and state.

PARENTAL RIGHTS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION

The Davis School District and [name of your school] shall reasonably accommodate ** a parent’s:

· Written request to retain a student in kindergarten through grade 8 on grade level based on the student’s academic ability or the student’s social, emotional, or physical maturity.

· Written request, prior to scheduled event, to excuse the student from attendance for a family event or a scheduled proactive visit to a health care provider. (Student agrees to make up course work for school days missed for the scheduled absence).

· Written request to place a student in a specialized class, a specialized program, or an advance course. (In determining whether placement is reasonable, the District shall consider multiple academic data points).

· Request to excuse the student from taking an assessment that is federally mandated, is mandated by the state, or requires the use of a state assessment system or software that is provided or paid for by the state.

· Initial selection of a teacher or request for a change of teacher.

· Request to visit and observe any class the student attends.

· Request to meet with a teacher at a mutually agreeable time if unable to attend a regularly scheduled parent teacher conference.

Each accommodation shall be considered on an individual basis and no student shall be considered to a greater or a greater or lesser degree than any other student.

**Reasonably accommodate for purposes of this section means the District or school shall make its best effort to enable a parent to exercise a parental right specified here without substantial impact to staff and resources, including employee working conditions, safety and supervision on school premises and for school activities, and the efficient allocation of expenditures; while balancing: the parental rights of parents; the educational needs of other students; the academic and behaviorally impact to a classroom; a teacher’s workload; and the assurance of the safe and efficient operation of a school.

The parental rights specified here do not include all the rights or accommodations available to parents from the public education system.

MEAL CHARGES IN SCHOOLS

The purpose of these procedures is to establish consistent meal charging and collection procedures districtwide. The District’s goals are:

· To maintain a positive experience for students during meal service.

· To treat all students with dignity and respect.

· To establish practices which are age appropriate.

· To minimize meal charges and encourage parents to pre-pay for all meals.

· To promote parents’ responsibility for meal payment and self-responsibility of the student.

Meal Accounts: Payment in advance for meals enables the District to achieve these goals. Personal checks and cash deposits are accepted daily at the schools. For convenience, deposits may also be made by credit/debit card through a parent’s myDSD account.

Emergency Meal Service: The Board of Education acknowledges that on occasion, students may forget or lose meal money. In such cases, the student’s statement of need shall be accepted, and a meal will be made available. School lunch employees shall not, withhold a meal, provide an alternate meal, pull a student from the line, ask the student to call his parent or friend, stamp the student’s hand, or otherwise call attention to the student who has forgotten or lost meal money. A school lunch employee may remind a student attending a secondary school that his account is in the negative. The cost of the unpaid meal will be charged to the student’s account.

Evaluate Individual Circumstances: When a student repeatedly comes to school without a meal from home or money to participate in the school meal program, school administrators should consider if circumstances in the home warrant contacting social workers or Child Protective Services.

(El o la estudiante está de acuerdo en recuperar la tarea del día/s escolar perdido por la falta o ausencia que se anticipó.) • La solicitud escrita para colocar a un o una estudiante en una clase especializada o un curso avanzado.

COBRO DE COMIDA/S EN LAS ESCUELAS El propósito de estos procedimientos es establecer el continuo cobro de comidas y procedimientos de recolección en todo el distrito escolar. Las metas del distrito escolar son: • Mantener una experiencia positiva para el o la estudiante durante el servicio de comidas. • Tratar a todos los estudiantes con dignidad y respeto. • Establecer las prácticas adecuadas a la edad. • Minimizar el cobro de comida y animar al padre/s a pagar por adelantado todas las comidas. • Promover la responsabilidad del pago de comida/s del padre/s y la responsabilidad propia del estudiante. Cuentas de comidas: El pago de comidas por adelantado permite al distrito escolar alcanzar estas metas. Se aceptan el cheque/s personal y depósito de dinero al contado todos los días en la escuela/s. Para su conveniencia, el depósito/s de dinero puede además ser hecho con tarjeta de débito y/o crédito a través de la cuenta del padre myDSD. Servicio de Comida por emergencia: El Consejo de Educación reconoce que, en ocasiones, el estudiante/s puede olvidar o perder el dinero de la comida. En tales casos, se deberá aceptar la declaración de necesidad del estudiante y se ofrecerá una comida al estudiante. El empleado/s del almuerzo escolar no dejará de servir una comida al o la estudiante, no ofrecerá una comida alternativa, no retirará al estudiante de la fila (línea de espera), no pedirá al o la estudiante que llame a su padre/s o amigo, no pondrá una estampilla en la mano del estudiante o llamará la atención de otro modo al o la estudiante que ha olvidado o perdido el dinero de la comida/s. El empleado/s del almuerzo escolar puede recordar al o la estudiante que asiste a una escuela secundaria que el balance de su cuenta es negativo. El costo de la comida/s que no se pagó se cobrará a la cuenta del o la estudiante. Evaluar la circunstancia Individual: Cuando el o la estudiante viene repetido a la escuela sin una comida del hogar o dinero para participar en el programa de comidas escolares, el director/es escolar debería considerar si las circunstancias del hogar garantizan contactar a un trabajador social o Child Protective Services (Servicios de Protección del Niño). La solicitud de comidas frecuente puede indicar que la familia necesita comidas gratis o a precio reducido. El director/es escolar puede trabajar con la familia para presentar una solicitud (aplicación) para recibir el beneficio de comidas. Toda comida/s que se come antes del proceso o aprobación de la aplicación de comidas gratis o a precio reducido es la responsabilidad del padre/s y se debe pagar. Repago por cobro de comidas y cheque sin fondo: Las pautas del gobierno federal prohíben que la agencia de Alimentos y Nutrición cancele la deuda por resultado de cobro de comidas. Se hará todo esfuerzo/s para recolectar el dinero de la comida/a que no se pagó. El cobro de comida/s que no se pagó puede resultar en lo siguiente: • Un llamado telefónico automatizado al padre/s. • Un email (correo electrónico) enviado al padre/s. • Un recordatorio verbal al o la estudiante que asiste a la escuela secundaria. • El gerente del almuerzo escolar se comunica con el padre/s por teléfono o nota en el buzón de correo de la maestra/o. • En caso de un pago/s atrasado importante (moroso), se enviará una carta del Departamento Food and Nutrition (Nutrición y Comidas) al hogar. El padre/s es responsable de pagar todos los cobros de comida/s de su hijo/s estudiante. Todos los cobros de comidas que no se pagaron se agregarán a la lista de cuotas pendientes o multas no pagas al final del año escolar. El cobro/s de comida/s que no se recibió se tratará de la misma manera que otras deudas escolares
