ATTENDANCE
General Statement - We believe that attendance and punctuality are vital for each and every student in the Willard School system.
1. Good attendance and punctuality allow every student the opportunity for a good quality education.
2. Good attendance and punctuality lay the ground work for a successful future in the work world.

REQUIREMENTS/EXCUSED/UNEXCUSED
1) Students must satisfy the attendance requirements as established by the State of Ohio and the Willard Board of Education.
2) State law requires that all students between the ages of 6 and 18 attend school.
3) At Willard High School, attendance is a priority and is the responsibility of parents and students. Students may enter the building at 7:20 am, classes begin at 7:25 am.
4) All absences are recorded as such regardless of the reason.
5) Excessive absenteeism, either excused or unexcused, cannot be tolerated.
6) The State of Ohio defines legal or excused absence as the following reasons:
a. Personal illness
b. Illness in the family
c. Quarantine of the home
d. Death of a relative
e. Observance of religious holidays
The Principal and the Assistant Principal have final judgment in deciding cases of excused or unexcused absences. Examples of absences due to special circumstances which may be approved BY PRIOR PARENTAL REQUEST DIRECTLY TO THE PRINCIPAL OR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL are the following:
1. Work at home DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF PARENT OR GUARDIAN
2. Doctor or dentist appointment
3. Trip with parents
4. Work sponsored field trips
5. College visitations
6. Driver's license responsibilities (2 hr. maximum)
7. Emergencies or sets of conditions which, in the Administrations judgment constitute sufficient cause for absence from school.
All other reasons for being absent from school will be considered unexcused and may result in the student receiving a failing grade in the daily classroom work.

Following are examples of unexcused absences:
1. Working at home with no prior approval
2. Unapproved employment
3. Missing the bus or ride to school
4. Oversleeping
5. Hair appointments and similar activities
6. Car trouble *(see criteria below)
7. Individual recreation trips or unapproved vacations
8. Shopping
9. Job seeking
10. Senior pictures
11. No written excuse or phone call from parent or guardian when
student is absent
12. Any other absence classified as unexcused by the Principal or
Assistant Principal

PROCEDURES
*NOTE: The following policies are based upon a "regular school day", modifications will be made for
delayed-start days.
1. In case of a planned absence (doctor appointment, college visitation, job shadowing, etc.) the parent is to notify the school ahead of time, in writing, stating the reason and number of class periods or days the student is expected to miss.

2. In case of daily illness absences, the parent is to call the school office (935-0181) before 9:00 am. Requests for missed assignments may be made after two consecutive days.
3. If the school does not hear from the parents by 9:00 am, the school will try to reach the parent by telephone to learn the reason for the student's absence. If necessary, parents will be contacted at work.
4. If the school cannot reach the parent by telephone, a card will be placed in the mail that same day notifying the parent of the absence. This is in compliance with the Ohio Missing Child Law.
5. If the school has not had contact with the parent the student must bring in to the school office a parent signed note stating the specific reason for the absence.
STATEMENT OF THE REASON FOR THE ABSENCE IS IMPORTANT
Notes from the parents should include the child's full name, grade, and date of absence. The Assistant Principal determines whether or not an absence is excused.
6. Failure to follow these procedures will result in unexcused absences. Forgery of excuses will result in automatic consequences.
7. Students leaving school during the school day for planned reasons must report to the office with a note from parent before attending regular classes. The student should report to the office again to sign out at the designated time of departure.
8.. Following an absence from school, all students must report with parent note to the office to receive a slip for admission back into classes. Upon return from a medical, dental, or court appointment, students must bring an official note from their appointment to the main office to verify their absence.
Notes explaining or requesting absences MUST GIVE SPECIFIC REASONS so that decisions of excused or unexcused in compliance with Ohio attendance laws can be made.
9. The discipline structure will be applied to students who do not comply with attendance procedures. Refer also to school policy regarding eligibility to attend co-curricular/extracurricular activities. back to top

TARDIES/LATE ARRIVALS/HALF DAYS
1. Students who arrive after school is in session but before 8:oo am are considered "tardy" and should report to the office to get a tardy slip for admittance to the appropriate class. Tardies may or may not be
excused, depending on the reason, and tardy students need a written explanation or phone call from the parent. Without this parental contact, students will be considered unexcused. Upon the THIRD
UNEXCUSED TARDY TO FIRST PERIOD IN A SEMESTER, the student will receive one demerit and one detention. Each subsequent first period tardy will result in a demerit and detention.
2. Arriving to class on time is expected. Each classroom tardy periods 2-8 will be tallied and may result in consequences. *(See Chart Below)
An accumulation of tardies will result in the following consequences:
3 tardies Conference with Asst. Principal
5 tardies 1 Detention
8 tardies 2 Detentions
10 tardies 1 Saturday School
15 tardies 2 Saturday Schools
Accumulation of more tardies in a semester may result in additional consequences, which includes In School Suspension or Out of School Suspension.
3. Students who arrive at school between 8:00 am and 9:05 am are considered "late arrivals" and are excused or unexcused according to the same policies as specified above with tardies. A student's first
unexcused late arrival or unexcused half day will result in consequences, which will increase with
subsequent unexcused late arrivals.
4. Arrivals after 9:05 am but before 11:00 am are considered "half day absences" and will receive appropriate consequences if unexcused.
5. Students must be in attendance for at least four class periods to receive a half day of attendance credit. Entry after 11:00 will be charged a full day absence.
6. Any combination of absences exceeding 3 * hours in one day will be charged a full day absence. back to top

ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATION
1. When a student has accumulated FOUR ABSENCES due to parent-excused illness during a semester, a letter of caution will be mailed to the parents or guardian. The letter will state that the student will be
allowed only two more parent-excused absences for illness that semester and that subsequent absences for illness will require a physician's statement that the student is too ill to attend school.

2. A letter will be mailed to the parent/guardian of all students who have accumulated SIX ABSENCES due to parent-excused illness during a semester. The letter will inform the parent or guardian that all future
absences for illness that semester will be considered unexcused without a physician's statement verifying that the student is too ill to attend school. The letter will also remind parents that these unexcused
absences will warrant only partial credit for work missed on the day of absence.

3. Students who accumulate THREE UNEXCUSED ABSENCES DURING A SEMESTER will be reported to the Assistant Principal. The Assistant Principal shall warn the child and parents or guardian in writing of the legal consequence of truancy and require the parent or guardian to compel the child to attend school. If the attendance pattern is not reversed, a complaint against the parent or guardian will be filed in court under
Ohio law governing failure to send children to school.

4. Unexcused absences that are a result of TRUANCY may receive additional consequences and a loss of credit.

5. In accordance with Board Policy and OR3321.13 (B) (2) a student under the age of 18 years of age or older that is "habitually absent" may be withdrawn.

6. A student may make up work for credit if an absence from school is excused. The responsibility of obtaining assignments, receiving help, and turning in work missed due to absence belongs to the student, not the teacher. Beginning with the day after a student returns from an excused absence, if a student has been absent one day, that student will be given one additional day to make up the work; work for two days
of absence may be made up in two days, etc. A student not accepting this responsibility will not receive credit for the day's absence. A student who has been unexcused (other than for suspension out of school)
may request assignments and additional help in order to not fall behind and may receive partial credit up to 55%. back to top

MEMORANDUM TO PARENTS REGARDING SCHOOL BOARD POLICY ON DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS
In accordance with Federal Law, the Board of Education prohibits the use, possession, concealment, or distribution of drugs by students on school grounds, in school or school-approved vehicles, or at any school-related event. Drugs includes any alcoholic beverage, anabolic steroid, dangerous controlled substance as defined by State statute, or substance that could be considered a "look-a-like" controlled substance. Compliance with this policy is mandatory for all students. Any student who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, in accordance with due process and as specified in the student handbooks, up to and including expulsion from school. When required by State law, the District will also notify law enforcement officials. The District is concerned about any student who is a victim of alcohol or drug abuse and will facilitate the process by which he/she receives help through programs and services available in the community. Students and their parents should contact the school principal or counseling office whenever such help is needed.NOTE: The administration reserves the authority to use appropriate discretion (based on Ohio Revised Code and Board Policy) in determining consequences for any misconduct not specifically listed within these pages.back to top

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Student Activities - It is a known fact that co-curricular activities are vital to a well rounded education in addition to the academic areas. We, at Willard High School, feel it to be most important for each student to become active in one or more of the following clubs, organizations and activities. For membership procedures, contact the sponsor or the administration.

Student Council
The Student Council consists of a maximum of thirty-six members: eight from each class, a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer who are chosen by election of the entire student body. Any student may petition to run for Student Council or class office. The purpose of the Student Council is to establish a united, central advisory body to direct student activities, to provide training and instruction in the principles and practice of representative government and to foster friendly relations between teachers and students.

Class Officers - Class officers shall consist of a President, Vice
President, Secretary and Treasurer. The Senior Class will also have the
office of Social Chairman. Any student may petition to run for a class
office (or) student council. Class officers will be elected at the
beginning of the new school year.

Band - Members of each of the four grades will compose the high school band. Summer rehearsals will be required. Enrollment in band will be determined by the director at the beginning of the school year, except for students transferring who will try out at the time of enrollment. Students must register for band in the same manner and time that other courses are selected.

Symphonic Orchestra - Symphonic Orchestra is composed of students in the four grades of the high school. All string students are expected to belong to the organization providing they can meet the required ability level of performance, which will be determined after audition at the beginning of the school year. Woodwind, brass and percussion members are selected students from the high school band. Five weeks of summer rehearsals are required. Students must register for orchestra in the same manner and time that other courses are selected.

Symphonic Choirs - The Symphonic Choirs are a select group open to
students in grades 9 - 12. One must try out for the choir director and
meet certain standards to become a member of this organization.
Students must register for the choirs in the same manner and time that
other courses are selected.

Family, Career & Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) - "Towards New Horizons" is the national goal of FCCLA. To promote a growing appreciation of the change of roles in homemaking is the purpose of this organization. Membership is open to students who are enrolled or have taken a senior high home economics course. Meetings will be held monthly.

Future Farmers of America (FFA) - This organization provides an opportunity to train the student as a farmer and a farm citizen. Meetings will be held twice a month during the school year and once each month during the summer.

National Honor Society - The Willard High School National Honor Society Chapter is governed by the National NHS Constitution. Local needs and conditions are addressed as follows: A. Administration
The National Council and NASSP Board of Directors are responsible for administering the affairs of the National Honor Society. Locally, the principal reserves the right to approve all activities and decisions of the chapter, except in the case of a dismissal appeal through normal school district channels. The Chapter adviser is responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the chapter. The faculty council establishes, implements, and reviews selection and dismissal procedures.

Membership Eligibility
The NHS constitution provides eligibility for sophomores, juniors and seniors. However, local chapters may decide to limit eligibility to one or a combination of these grade levels, in its bylaws. Freshmen are not eligible for NHS membership. Willard High School inducts only juniors and seniors.

Activities
The chapter annually will determine and describe which projects the group will undertake. All members must participate in the chapter project and other projects that reflect their own interest and talents.

Discipline and Dismissal
The chapter adviser monitors members for compliance with obligations. Members may receive a limited number of warnings to be determined by the faculty council, for any infractions. For flagrant violations of civil law or school rules, no warning is necessary. A variety of disciplinary measures can be taken by the faculty council and adviser, with dismissal reserved for flagrant or chronic offenders. Members who face dismissal must be given an opportunity to address the faculty council regarding their infraction before they are dismissed. Dismissal is never automatic. The dismissal procedure shall be described in writing to those who request it. Dismissal should be used sparingly by the faculty council. Other disciplinary measures (loss of privileges for a specified amount of time, special counseling, etc.) are more appropriate for most situations. The emphasis in both selection and dismissal shall be on the development and consistent use of a clear, objective, fair, and non-discriminatory process that is well understood by all concerned.

Guidelines for Selection
Selection is based on four criteria: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. To fulfill the scholarship requirements, students must have a cumulative scholastic average of 3.5 or the equivalent standard of excellence. This is the minimum cumulative scholarship requirement, it must be cumulative based on the average and it must apply to all candidates in the school. The faculty council may also weight courses or require a certain number of prerequisite academic courses. Rules such as "no grades below B" may not apply. Qualified students are selected for NHS membership by a majority vote of the faculty council on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service and character. The faculty council develops working definitions of these criteria and provides some objective measure of the student's qualifications in each of the areas.

Cheerleaders - Cheerleaders for the following year are chosen after attending clinics and a tryout in the spring of the year. Promoting school spirit both at pep rallies and at games is the primary goal of the cheerleading squads. Cheerleaders are selected mainly for football and boys basketball. Any additional work is at the discretion of the advisor.

Yearbook/School Newspaper - Our yearbook and school newspaper are published by members of the "publications" staff. The yearbook contains pictures of all phases of school activities. The yearbook delivery date is delayed until early fall each year because of spring pictures which are important in making a yearbook complete. The school newspaper will be provided on a regular basis as determined by the advisor. All school publications are subject to the editorial control of school authorities. The production and/or distribution of any unauthorized publications are prohibited.

Assemblies -The assembly schedule at Willard High School is developed with the idea that some of our assemblies should offer an opportunity for self expression and to promote school spirit while other assemblies include motivational speakers and educational programs. It is expected that high school students will demonstrate courtesy and appropriate behavior at all assemblies.

Club Activity Calendar - All club activities must be approved by the Principal and are to be posted on the monthly school calendar by the administration, through the advisor.

Dance Policies - The dances at Willard High School are for Willard High School students and their dates. Once a student enters the dance, he/she may not leave the building. If he or she does, they are not to return to the dance. An organization wishing to sponsor a dance must schedule such dances through their sponsor and administration. All contracts must be approved and signed by the advisor and administration. No dances will be permitted on an evening prior to a school day. Dances must be over by eleven o'clock, unless otherwise approved. Adequate chaperones will be required in advance of the dance. Dress for the prom shall be semi-formal to formal.

Athletics - Willard High School offers a well-rounded interscholastic athletic program for all students. Boys may compete in football, golf or cross country in the fall; basketball, swimming or wrestling in the winter; and track, baseball, or tennis in the spring. Girls may compete in tennis, golf, cross country or volleyball in the fall; basketball or swimming in the winter; and track or softball in the spring. Willard High School is a member of one of the oldest and most prestigious conferences for our size school in the State of Ohio. The other member schools of the Northern Ohio League (N.O.L.) are: Bellevue "Redmen", Bucyrus "Redmen", Galion "Tigers", Norwalk "Truckers", Shelby "Whippets", Tiffin Columbian "Tornadoes", and Upper Sandusky "Rams". No student is officially a member of a team until the first contest for that squad. After the first contest if a student quits the squad they may not try-out for another sport or participate in any school sponsored recreational program or weight lifting until the conclusion of the regular season of their original sports.
O.H.S.A.A. has established Rules and Regulations governing non-interscholastic participation, instructional programs and non-contract periods. If a student is deemed ineligible because of grades he may not participate in any co-curricular games or events in the following grading period. Furthermore, there is to be no practice or participation in a recreational school program or weightlifting unless the student is following the board approved policy for reinstatement. No student may participate in an athletic contest or scrimmage unless his or her eligibility has been reinstated by the building principal and the student athlete meets all other requirements of the OHSAA. If there are any questions on athletics, students are asked to either see the respective head coach or the Athletic Director.back to top

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Co-curricular activities are an important part of the total school program in the Willard City Schools. They should neither have precedence over other educational activities nor should they be considered unworthy of educational attention. We believe co-curricular activities are in harmony with the educational objectives and philosophy of the school district. All students participating in co-curricular activities in the Willard City Schools must adhere to the following general policies:

A. Rules of the OHSAA and Willard Board of Education
All students participating in co-curricular activities will abide by the Constitution and Rules of the pertinent national or state governing body or association and to all rules and regulations set forth in the Willard High School Code of Conduct.

B. Eligibility
To be academically eligible to participate in any co-curricular activity in a nine week grading period, the student must have received passing grades in all courses which he/she is enrolled.
Academic Eligibility (over and above OHSAA guidelines): Willard City Schools has in effect a "No Pass-No Play" Policy and a minimum GPA of 1.3 as a quarterly grade point requirement. The minimum grade point requirement goes into effect after the results of the first grading period are obtained and impacts students beginning the second grading period. Also any student earning a "F" in any subject is ineligible for athletic competition for the next grading period. Students may re-establish their eligibility if they meet the requirements outlined in the next section. (see: Reinstatement of Eligibility).. Any student-athlete receiving a failing grade will be assigned to a mandatory study table until said grade(s) is raised to a passing level. In lieu of a study table, a student-athlete may schedule and attend two weekly conferences with the instructor of the class in question. An unexcused absence from a study table or conference could result in ineligibility for the next athletic contest. Tardiness, lack of study or study materials will be dealt with on an individual basis and may result in loss of eligibility.

C. Reinstatement of Eligibility may be granted to a student-athlete who has one "F" if the following conditions are met in a satisfactory manner: (NOTE: a student with more than one "F" does not qualify for reinstatement.)
1. The student meets the standards of eligibility established by the Ohio High School Athletic Association.
2. The student-athlete attends and successfully participates in the "study table" program or other approved study programs at least two times per week. (Approval must come from the principal, assistant principal or athletic director.)
3. The student athlete is passing all classes at the midterm and to pass all classes during the weekly eligibility check administered by the athletic department and the minimum level of a 1.3 grade point average standard is met.
4. The student and his or her parent or guardian agrees to the above terms and are made aware that failure to meet the standards established will result in the denial of participation for the remainder of the grading period and until passing grades are received in all classes and the minimum 1.3 grade point average requirement is met.
5. The minimum 1.3 grade point average requirement will be in effect beginning the second grading period. G.P.A. earned the first grading period will establish the standard for eligibility the second grading period. Upon the recommendation of the teacher, certain students involved in extracurricular activities may qualify for an Assurance Contract. Having consulted with parents, coaches, advisors, and the administration, a student with a failing grade may be referred for a contract. The Assurance contract is available only during the regular school year and is intended to be a temporary agreement allowing a student in need to restore their eligibility. If conditions of the contract are not met, the student will remain ineligible.back to top

FORMS AND RELEASES
Before a student may participate in any co-curricular conditioning and practice, he/she must have the following information to the proper officials. (This includes transfer students.)
1. In the case of athletics, the Ohio High School Athletic Association health questionnaire and physical examination card with student, parent, and physician's signature to Director of Athletics.
