This handbook was developed to enable you, the parent, to become more fully aware of the policies and practices in effect at our school.  Education is the dual responsibility of both the home and the school so it important that you understand the rules, guidelines, and procedures under which MPB operates.

This handbook describes normal operating procedures at MPB.  The pastor and school administration reserves the right to amend or create policies in specific circumstances.

MISSION STATEMENT

Most Precious Blood Catholic School is a Christian community empowering students to reach their highest potential through academics, personal growth, and social responsibility.

MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD CATHOLIC SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

We believe that Catholic Education begins with the faith that God, in creation, gifted us with life, became one of us in His Son Jesus, and in the Person of the Holy Spirit.  He awaits or response to His unconditional overture of love.  Jesus remains with the community He formed, witnessing and sharing the Good News in every age and with all people, ever yearning for a return of love either by a sincere response to conscience or by membership in His Church.  It is from this perspective that the educational ministry of the Catholic community flows. 

We believe education, which is Catholic, begins with life in the heart of the family.  Parents, the primary educators, nourish values deeply human, deeply spiritual.  Affirmed, treasured and supported by the loving witness of Christian faith communities, the child continues a lifelong response to God’s love by growing and excelling through responsible involvement in the religious, academic, cultural, and civic concerns of daily life.

 We, as a Catholic school , are sensitive to the mandate of Jesus:  “Love on another as I have loved you” as the goal toward which all Catholic education tends.  The school community, in sharing this vision within an atmosphere designed to celebrate and practice love of God and neighbor, is the most effective means available to the church for the education of youth.  This vision motivates students to grow spiritually, culturally, and socially.  Among the values prized by the Catholic school are recognition of the dignity of the human person created in the image and likeness of God, self-discipline in the search for a moral way of life rooted in the teaching of the Gospel and appreciation of our American heritage.  The heart of every Catholic school must be alive with a zeal for the Gospel, the Eucharist and the teachings of the Catholic faith, especially as they are embodied in the great Catechism of the Catholic Church.  We strive to form every student as a servant-leader centered in Jesus Christ’s brothers and sisters in the wider community.  (adapted from Pastoral Letter, Part Two, 21)

CERTIFICATES OF IMMUNIZATION
(Archdiocesan Policy No. 2080)

All Archdiocesan schools shall comply with Colorado law which states that no child may attend school unless such child can present a valid certificate of immunization against communicable diseases or a plan for immunization as specified by the State Board of Health.  

MPB requires a completed immunization card before a student may enter school.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE
(Archdiocesan Policy No. 2120)
The State of Colorado requires by law for compulsory attendance of all children between the ages of 7 and 16.  The responsibility for compliance with this law belongs to the parents.  The school must notify parents if there appears to be a problem with attendance.

The school is obliged to keep an accurate record of daily attendance.  This report is placed in the student's permanent record and kept on file indefinitely.  Any recurring pattern of tardies/absences requires administrative intervention.  Excessive tardies/absences may be cause for retention or request for withdrawal.

SCHOOL HOURS

Students attend classes from 8:15a.m. to 3:10p.m.  The warning bell in the morning rings at 8:05.  K-5 students enter the building with their teachers at this time.  Junior High student may enter the building and go to their lockers at 8:00.  More Information can be found in arrival and dismissal procedures on page 20 and 21.

ATTENDANCE

If your child is not in attendance, please notify the office before 9:00 a.m.  Parents may leave a message regarding absent children on the answering machine before 8:00 a.m. or after 3:40 p.m. 

TARDY STUDENTS

When the 8:15 bell rings, the front door is closed and all students arriving after that time will be given a tardy slip from the front office.  Students must have a tardy slip to be admitted to class. 

Consequences for tardy students

Jr. High students serve five minutes of detention for each minute they are late to school or to class.

If students in other grades are chronically late, a conference will be held to develop a plan for eliminating tardies or  to set consequences.

ABSENCES

If a child leaves school because of illness or injury during the school day, he/she will be marked absent accordingly.  A student must be in attendance in the classroom for two full periods to be counted as present for a half day.   To be counted present for a full day, a student must be present in class for more than five periods.

Recess after Absences

Students may not remain inside when the class goes out to recess.  If a child is well enough to be in school, he/she is well enough to get a little fresh air.

Tardies and absences are recorded as part of a student's cumulative record. 

Medical and Dental Appointments

Dismissal for medical or dental appointments or for family reasons is granted only when the parent picks up the child in the school office. Students will not be released to other persons unless a written request has been submitted. Parents are urged to keep such requests to a minimum and are encouraged to make arrangements for these appointments after school, during vacation periods, or on the afternoon of early dismissal days.

After School Activities and Absences

Ordinarily, students may not attend any after school or evening activity on day(s) the student is absent, or goes home due to illness in the afternoon.

Vacations

Parents are requested to make every effort to plan vacations and other out-of-school activities during the specified vacation times and school holidays listed in the annual calendar.  

Assignment Completion and Vacations

Usually assignments are not given to students before they go on vacation.  If assignments are given in advance, they are due back the day the student returns.

CHILD CUSTODY ISSUES
(Archdiocesan Policy No. 2140)
Custodial parents/legal guardians shall be recognized as the primary decision-makers for their children.  Legal documentation regarding custody and visitation shall be provided to the school by the custodial parent(s)/legal guardian(s) at the time of registration.  The school shall be notified immediately regarding any changes to custodial provisions.

No medication, including aspirin, cough and cold medication, decongestants, or other over the counter or prescription medications shall be administered by any school personnel, including a nurse, except with written orders from an authorized proscriber.  All medicine must be kept in a secure place to which students do not have access.  Students may not carry medications of any kind with them unless they have the permission of the principal or the principal's designee.  This permission will be given only for students with a condition that might require medication on an emergency basis (e.g. in cases of a child's allergic reaction, asthma attack, etc.). 

MEDICATIONS

Medication forms for physician's written instructions are available in the family folder and in the school office.The only way a student may ingest any over the counter medication on school property (if not given by parent) is by following these procedures:

1. The parent is first requested to be present to administer the medication.

2. If the parent is unable to be present, only the principal or the principal's designee may provide to the student the medication according to the proscriber's written instructions.  These written instructions must be on file before any medication may be given according to Archdiocese Policy 2240.

3. The medication must be brought in a container appropriately labeled by a pharmacy or physician stating the following information:  child's name, date, name of medication, dosage, purpose of medication, time medication is to be given, and number of days to be given.

4. A record is kept of all medications administered to students. 

5.  Parental requests sent in by notes about the ingestion of prescription or over-the-counter medications will not be honored.

Medications are safeguarded at school to avoid ingestion by the wrong child.  Students may not have any medicines in their possession including aspirin, cough medicine, cough drops, breath sprays, or other over-the-counter medicines as well as prescription medicines.  Any medicines found in the possession of a student will be confiscated.

The following actions are forbidden in schools in the archdiocese of Denver:

Corporal Punishment

Even in the event parents give permission for such action and/or the state sanctions its use, corporal punishment, which may be defined as any punitive touching, shall not be permitted under any circumstances.

Removal from the Classroom
A student may not be sent outside of the classroom if she/he will not be supervised.

School-wide Discipline Policy
Students of MPB are expected to behave in a Christian manner.  Certain behaviors are not acceptable for students on school property or while participating in any school activity.

The staff has adopted assertive discipline methods.  Through assertive discipline, the students are taught that they are responsible for their actions.  For every action they choose there is a positive or negative consequence.  The positive actions by students will be accented and negative consequences will be imposed at times when the student chooses not to be responsible for expected behavior as outlined in the discipline code.

School-wide Expectations
The staff chose the following expectations to benefit the smooth operation of MPB. 
The students will:

·         Act in a manner that demonstrates appropriate Christian behavior.
·         Be in assigned/appropriate areas and must have hall pass to be out of class.  No pupil is to be in his/her classroom or in the building before school, at recess, or at lunchtime, without permission
·         Use playground equipment appropriately.
·         Walk in halls.
·         Eat food only at specified time/place.
·         Not throw food.
·         Not chew gum on campus.
·         Not throw snowballs.
·         Not use foul language.
·         Treat all members of school with respect.

Teachers will communicate behavior consequences at grade level meetings and/or conferences.  In addition, each individual grade level will establish positive consequences. 

Classroom Expectations
All classrooms will have established and expected behaviors.  The students must follow these or accept outlined consequences.  Examples of classroom expectations could be: follow directions first time given, raise hand before asking questions, complete homework assignments and come prepared for class.

If your child has chronic discipline problems, you may expect phone calls at home or at your place of employment to set up a conference to discuss the problem and/or to come to MPB to pick-up your child and discuss the problem.  At this conference, goals may be set and/or a behavior contract may be written. 

Safety and Playground 
In order that all our students may enjoy safe and enjoyable play the following policies and rules have been established.  One rule governing all other rules is RESPECT.  This includes respectful language.

Students are to remain on the playground in view of the supervisor.  The stairs in back of the parish office building, the doorways, and sidewalks in front of the parish center, the church, and ELC areas are not part of the play area.
