THE AMERICAN CREED

“I believe in the United States of America as a government of the

people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from

the consent of the governed: a democracy in a republic; a sovereign naon in

many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable, established

upon those principles of freedom, equality, jusce, and humanity for which

American patriots sacriced their lives and fortunes.”

“I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support

its Constuon; to obey its laws; to respect its ag; and to defend it against all

enemies.”—William Tyler Page

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

I pledge allegiance to the ag of the United States of America and to

the republic for which it stands, one naon, under God, indivisible with liberty

and jusce for all.

FORWARD

The faculty and sta of Muldrow High School welcome you to a new

and excing school year. We are dedicated to provide you with a safe and

quality educaon.

Please read your handbook carefully. Addionally, you may wish to

discuss this handbook with your parents. This hand book has been prepared

to assist you as you plan for your course of study at Muldrow High School.

Many quesons may be answered by referring to this handbook.

We want you to be proud of your school and become an acve

member. Just as the faculty has dedicated themselves to provide you with a

safe and quality educaonal experience, we ask that you to also dedicate

yourself to the educaonal task at hand. Together, we will make these years

at Muldrow High School the happiest mes of your life.

PARENT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

In our eort to improve communicaon between parents and school,

Muldrow school uses a telephone broadcast system that will enable school

personnel to nofy all households and parents by phone within minutes of an

emergency or unplanned event that causes early dismissal, school

cancellaon, or late start. Students must have a form on le with the school

giving us permission to use the automated phone system to nofy parents.

The service is provided by “Apptegy”, a company specializing in school-to-

parent communicaons. Muldrow School will connue to report school

closings due to snow or weather on Channels 5 and 40/29 as well as our social

media pages and will use this system in addion to the public

announcements.

INTRODUCTION

The policies and procedures contained in this handbook are the result of a

concerted eort on the part of the faculty and the administraon. This infor-

maon has been carefully prepared and presented so that it will be of great

value in helping you to adjust to our school, and to become an integral part of

it.

The ulmate purpose of educaon is to help each student become an eecve

cizen in a democracy. To develop and accept the responsibilies and obliga-

ons of good cizenship will help us to parcipate successfully in the world of

tomorrow. We hope that you will parcipate in our varied acvies and thus

nd those things within our school that will prepare you to live a beer life

and nally take your place in this complex society. Remember that your suc-

cess in this school will be directly proporonal to your eorts.

VISION STATEMENT

Muldrow Public School is commied to provide a high quality educaon ensur-

ing students succeed in a community of high standards, are prepared for posi-

ve growth, and are empowered with the skills and self-condence to aain

lifelong achievement.

PRIDE

Be proud of your school. Take good care of it, and feel free to make sugges-

ons for improving it. As a school cizen, you are expected to act maturely

and conduct yourself properly. Let your behavior be a steady reecon of

pride.

Muldrow Fight Song

ATTENDANCE

Research has shown that aendance is closely related to success, therefore all

students are expected to aend classes regularly and be on me. Excessive

absences disrupt the connuity of the learning process. Local school board

policy does not allow a student to miss more than 8 days in a semester and

sll receive credit. Any student reporng to school aer the tardy bell MUST

CHECK IN through either oce.

Any student exceeding the 8 days absent allowed by the district in any

semester must have his/her situaon reviewed by the absence commiee

before they can receive credit for the semester in any class. Any excepon of

the aendance policy beyond 12 days must also have the Superintendent’s

approval. The absence commiee shall include a Counselor, Principal,

Librarian and a teacher of the grade of the student being reviewed.

When possible, any absence caused by sickness should be accompanied by a

doctor’s statement. This could help the absence commiee if a student

exceeds eight absences in a semester.

More than eight days (combinaon of AR, AU, or DVAP) absences in any

grading period may result in the student not receiving a grade higher than

59% for all classes his/her aendance aected.

ATTENDANCE POLICY EXCEPTIONS

Requests for excepons must be presented by the student and parent or legal

guardian to the principal within a reasonable me span to be considered.

Extenuang circumstances deemed necessary by the principal will be considered.

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE GRADING PERIOD!

Make up work: Students will be allowed one day for each day absent to turn in

make-up work and receive full credit. Any work turned in aer this me may

result in grade reducon or failure. Tests or quizzes may be made up at the

convenience of the teacher providing the student is eligible under the

Aendance Policy.

ABSENTEE POLICY

A. AR (Absence Regular). These are absences when a student brings a note

from home stang he was too sick to aend school or that he was kept out

by a parent or guardian for some reason acceptable to this oce.

An absence, such as a family trip, hunng trip or oung, must be pre

approved by the principal or it will be considered an AU (Absence

Unexcused) and no make up work will be allowed.

B. DVAP (Virtual Absence) This absence is recorded for a tradional student

when the student is too sick to aend school or was kept home by a parent.

Student must log-on and do work in all classes. Parent must nofy the oce

the morning of absence. The number of DVAP absences will be subject to

review by the aendance commiee.

C. AU (Absence Unexcused). These are absences where a student does not

have a note or call from a parent, was found to be truant, or was placed

under a suspension from the principal. Students who do not have a note will

be given two (2) days to present a note from a parent to receive a regular

absence. Work missed due to an unexcused absence may not be made up.

D. AE (Absence Excused). These are absences from regular class work caused

by absences due to funerals of immediate family members which shall

include the mother, father, brother, sister, grandmother, grandfather,

or legal guardian. The work missed in class may be made up at the

convenience of the teacher.

E. AA (Absence Acvity). These are absences due to school funcons. The work

missed in class may be made up at the convenience of the teacher.

ANY STUDENT ABSENT FOUR DAYS IN A FOUR WEEK PERIOD WITHOUT A VALID

EXCUSE WILL BE REPORTED TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

ACTIVITY ABSENCE POLICY

It is the philosophy of the Muldrow School system that every child should be

involved in acvies outside the classroom. These outside acvies should be

structured so that they enhance and inuence the overall development of the

character and discipline of the child and promote the spirit of compeveness and

cooperaon within each student.

To assure the parents, students, and faculty that an eort will always be made

toward keeping a balance between classroom aendance and extra-curricula

requirements, which draw students from the classroom, the following regulaons

and guidelines have been developed to serve as a safeguard to protect the

classroom achievement of students in the various programs.

1) Students with any nine weeks grade below a “C” on the latest report card will be

limited to ve acvity absences during the school term unless that grade is

brought up to a “C” on the next nine weeks report card. Students with any nine

weeks grade below a “B” on the latest report card will be limited to ten acvity

absences unless that grade is brought up to a “B” on the next nine weeks report

card. All students requesng more than 10 absences must have prior approval

from the Acvity Absence Commiee.

2) The maximum number of days a student may be absent for acvity absences is

(10) during the year unless the acvity absences commiee meets and approves

the absences along with wrien approval from classroom teachers whose

classes will be missed.

3) Students taken out of a class to perform assistance to other teachers on campus

for any reason must have approval from the teachers whose class they would

miss. Teachers are encouraged to use students who are less likely to build up

excessive absences for the year. The principal maintains the right to waive any

rule or regulaon for extenuang circumstances.

4) Students with a grade below a C or with missing assignments may not miss class

me to parcipate in an extracurricular acvity.

WITHDRAWAL

If a student withdraws from school they must nofy the oce in advance. This will

clear their record so that it may be sent to the school in which they are to enroll.

Failure to do this oen causes a delay in sending records to the new school. No

transcript will be forwarded to the other school unl all fees and nes are paid.

TARDIES

Students are tardy if they are not in the classroom when the tardy bell rings. The

fourth (4th) tardy will result in one morning detenon. The h (5th) tardy will

result in two morning detenons. An accumulaon of six (6) tardies per semester

will result in Saturday School.

9 WEEKS AND SEMESTER TESTS

All teachers will give a comprehensive test for that 9 week grading period and it

shall not count for more than 15% of the 9 week leer grade. Semester tests shall

also be comprehensive and shall not count for more than 20% of the semester

leer grade.

REPORT CARDS

Each quarter, grades on the report card will denote the level at which the student

is working. The semester grade is the only grade recorded on the student’s

transcript. Grade point will be gured on maximum courses taken by any class

member.

Any student receiving an I in any semester will have one semester to make up the

incomplete before it is changed to an F.

HONOR ROLL

The honor roll is gured on each quarter’s grades. You must have all incompletes

worked out and all A’s or B’s only. If you have an incomplete, it is your

responsibility to see that it is cleared and a grade turned into the principal’s oce.

PERIODS OF ENROLLMENT REQUIRED

All students are required to enroll in seven (7) periods a day. All seven (7) must be

credit courses. Excepons can be made at the principal’s discreon for students

that want to concurrently enroll in college, or for students of junior or senior

classicaon that have a 3.0 GPA and have acquired 13 credits and want to be

considered for oce or library aides.

Any student that has been suspended or expelled from another school district will

be allowed to transfer and enroll at Muldrow High School unl he/she has been

readmied into the school from which they were suspended or expelled

(idened in 70 O.S. 11-103.6). Prociency for advancing to the next level of study

will be demonstrated by a score of 90% or comparable performance or an

assessment of demonstraon.

STUDENT CLASSIFICATION

Sophomores .......................................................................... 3 units or more

Juniors ................................................................................. 10 units or more

Seniors ................................................................................ 17 units or more

Graduaon .......................................................................... 24 units or more

PROFICIENCY BASED PROMOTION

Students at Muldrow School, upon request, will be given the opportunity to

demonstrate prociency in one or more areas of the core curriculum. Prociency

will be demonstrated by assessment or evaluaon appropriate to the curriculum

area. Prociency in laboratory sciences will require students to perform relevant

laboratory techniques. The use of any alternave test to demonstrate prociency

must be peoned by the student. A commiee, established by the superintendent,

will be responsible for examinaon of the peon and determining if the student

will be allowed to use the requested alternave test for the purpose of prociency

based promoon. A peon will be available in the oce of the counselor.

Students shall have the opportunity to demonstrate prociency in the core areas

twice each year; once before the beginning of the school term and at the end of the

school term as idened in 70 O.S. 11-103.6. Prociency for advancing to the next

level of study will be demonstrated by a score of 90% or comparable performance or

an assessment of demonstraon.

CORRESPONDENCE STUDIES

Credit courses taken through correspondence courses will be counted toward the

number required for graduaon: (1) only when taken as a make up course due to

failing or incomplete grades (2) when accompanied by a local prociency Based Test.

The high school principal and counselor must give approval of the correspondence

courses prior to enrollment in the program.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM

M.H.S. recommends the following sequence:

Grade: Pre-AP English 1, Pre-AP Physical Science, Pre-AP Geometry

Grade Pre-AP English II, Pre-AP Biology 1, Pre-AP Biology II, Pre-AP

Algebra II

Grade AP English Language, Pre-AP Chemistry 1, AP Chemistry II, Pre-AP

Calculus

Grade AP English Literature, Pre-AP Physics, AP Calculus, AP Human

Geography

AP COMMITTEE (AP TEACHERS)

The purpose of the AP Commiee is to advise students and parents of the success

probability of students wishing to enroll in pre AP/AP courses. If the commiee

advises that the student may struggle with the course load, they may advise the

student not to enroll. However, if the parent wishes to enroll their child anyway,

they may be enrolled on a probaonary status. Teachers will consider students’

performance on the Pre-ACT, aendance, behavior and benchmark tests.

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT/DISTANCE LEARNING

Juniors and seniors may be eligible to take college courses while sll aending

Muldrow High School. Concurrent enrollment is available on campus at MHS in the

Distance Learning Lab. Juniors and seniors who meet ACT and credit requirements

may enroll as part of their class schedule. Enrollment is subject to both state and

local regulaons.

· Must meet ACT and GPA requirements

· Must be able to complete all graduaon requirements on me

· Must be enrolled in a combined number of high school and college classes

totaling no more than 19 credit hours* and no less than 18 credit hours*.

(Each high school credit class counts as 3 credit hours.)

Class oerings will vary each semester depending on availability at CASC. Through

this program, students may earn college hours without leaving the high school

campus. Juniors will be required to take any concurrent enrollment classes through

ZOOM in the MHS Distance Learning Lab. They MUST remain on campus. Seniors

will be allowed to take online classes which will allow them to arrive at school late

or leave early. However, seniors may also elect to take classes in the MHS Distance

Learning Lab. In fact, they are highly encouraged to do so.

For more informaon, see the high school counselor.

Credit for concurrently enrolled classes will be recorded as follows:

Each college semester class will receive 1/2 credit.

CASC Course

(Courses taken at another instuon will be reviewed on a

case by case basis.)

Grades received through concurrent enrollment will be recorded on a student’s high

school transcript. Beginning with the 2020-2021 academic year, grades received

through concurrent enrollment WILL be factored into a student’s high school GPA.

Students will receive credit for the grade earned: 90-100 =A, 80-89=B, 70-79=C,

60-69=D, 0-59=F.

In addion, students taking American Federal Government and U.S. History 1865-

present as a junior will receive AP credit as will seniors taking Freshman

Composion I and II. Students MUST report the PERCENTAGE grade earned to their

school counselor to receive AP credit. The grades must have college idenfying

informaon on them. The high school counselor may validate accurate reporng by

the student as needed.

A student will not receive AP credit if the student does not complete both required

courses during the same school year. AP credit will only be given for Freshman

Composion I and II if taken during the student’s senior year.

If a student withdraws from a college course, the following consequences may

occur:

· The student may not be permied to enroll in concurrent college courses the

next semester.

· The student will be assigned a high school course to aend, but may receive no

credit for the course.

All students choosing to take concurrent enrollment will have a signed contract

stang the school’s policies and procedures on le in the counseling oce. Any

student without a signed contract will NOT be allowed to take classes concurrently

through CASC or any other instuon of high learning. Because English IV is a

course required for graduaon, if a students fails the rst semester, that student

will be enrolled in credit recovery the second semester for one class period to

recoup the rst semester credit. The student will return to a “regular” English class

during another class period to get the second semester credit.

ANY student who fails a concurrent class during the rst semester will be withdrawn

from the concurrent enrollment program. As outlined by the state regents, that

student will not be allowed to enroll concurrently in another higher learning

instuon for the remainder of his/her high school career.

If a students elects to take summer classes, those classes will receive elecve credit,

but will NOT be factored into a student’s GPA.

Students will be required to present a grade check to the counseling oce during

the 4th, 9th, and 13th week of each semester. Grades submied MUST have college

idenfying informaon on them, or students MUST login to a computer in the

counseling oce for the grade check.

WEIGHTED GRADES

In order to reward students who challenge themselves academically by selecng Pre

-AP and AP courses, a weighted grading scale will be used for those courses.

Students receiving a leer grade below C2 will be considered for removal from the

AP class.

**Based on current requirements by the state, Muldrow High School has adopted a

new grading scale for advanced placement and honors courses as well as concurrent

enrollment courses that meet the requirements outlined by the district for weighted

credit. The new grading scale will be implemented beginning with the 2023-2024

school year. Although the grades recorded on report cards and transcripts for the

classes of 2024, 2025, and 2026 will now reect the new grading scale, GPA

calculaons for these classes will connue to be manually calculated based on the

previous grading scale (i.e. AP (90-100)-5.0, A1 (85-89)-4.5, A (80-84)-4.0, B1 (75-79)-

3.0, C1 (70-74)-2.0, D2 (60-69)-1.0). The new weighted grading scale provided above

will be used to calculate GPAs for the class of 2027 and all future graduang classes.

CAREER TECH CLASSES

Career tech classes are scheduled each day in cooperaon with Indian

Capital Tech Center in Sallisaw. Students must either be a junior or senior to enroll in

career tech classes. Aernoon career tech classes will again be part of our

curriculum. A balanced distribuon of a.m. and p.m. students from Muldrow High

School must be arrived at. First choice of enrollment for career tech classes will

come from those students being transported to school by bus. If the student’s bus

does not arrive at school before the career tech bus departs, the bus student will be

required to take the p.m. class schedule. Seniors, then Juniors, will have the next

choice of morning or aernoon career tech classes. Those classes will be three hours

long and transportaon will be provided there and back.

No career tech student is to drive their own vehicle without prior approval from

the high school oce. It is the student’s responsibility to catch the bus each morning

or aernoon to get to the career tech classes. Those missing career tech, without

jusable reason, may receive disciplinary acon at the principal’s discreon.

Excessive absences, as determined by the principal, may lead to withdraw from

career tech classes and placement in regular school classes. Any student that misses

the career tech bus must remain at the high school and report to the principal’s

oce. Students that are absent from the a.m. career tech classes must call the oce

by 8:30 a.m. at 427-3274 or report to the principal’s oce by 8:30 a.m.

maon.

VALEDICTORIAN AND SALUTATORIAN SELECTION

The valedictorian and salutatorian will be selected based on the highest grade point

average from those students who have completed required course work within the

Pre-AP/AP Program. Students who begin and nish their three nal semesters unin-

terrupted at Muldrow High School will be considered. Only those classes taken during

the Fall and Spring semester will be included in calculaons rounded to the nearest

one-hundredth. Only twelve Pre-AP/AP classes over the course of four years may

count toward the calculaon of the GPA. Courses with pass or fail grades and/or

courses with sasfactory or unsasfactory grades will neither help nor hinder the

calculaon of a student GPA.

The announcement of valedictorian and salutatorian will be based on the cumulave

GPA of students for the rst 7 semesters. The nal selecon of valedictorian and salu-

tatorian will be determined by the cumulave GPA for a full 8 semesters. If there is a

change in GPA that occurs in the last semester of a student’s senior year, that change

will be reected in determining actual valedictorian and salutatorian.

MR. AND MISS M.H.S.

Mr. and Miss M.H.S. will be selected by a panel of three judges. The judges will make

their selecon based upon: intelligence, atude, leadership, character, personality,

friendliness, school parcipaon, out-of-school acvies and outlook on life. Stu-

dents will also be balloted.

The number of seniors honored will be 5 boys and 5 girls. These students will be rec-

ognized without regard to placement. (That is, no longer will there be a 1

runner-up,

runner-up, etc.)

In order for a student to be selected as Mr. or Miss M.H.S. ,a senior superlave, the

beauty or beau, they must be present the night of the ceremonies.

SENIOR ACTIVITY

The senior acvity is a reward for the graduang seniors. Because the nature of this

acvity demands trust, integrity, and faultless behavior, the following criteria is re-

quired:

1. Seniors must not miss more than eight days in either semester unless migang

circumstances exist, which will be at the discreon of the principal.

2. Seniors must be in good academic standing, which includes all make-up work

completed and Saturday School assignments fullled.

3. Seniors must be eligible to graduate the year of the senior acvity.

4. Seniors must have exhibited good behavior during their senior year.

5. Seniors must have all accounts paid in full by March 1 of the year of the senior

acvity.

VIRTUAL SCHOOL INFORMATION

tained by vising with a counselor at the high school main oce.

CLASS RINGS

Juniors will receive their class rings during this year.

CLASS DUES

Class dues for all classes 9-12 will be $20.00 per year or $10.00 per semester.

HONOR JACKETS

Students that are involved in any acvity sanconed by the Oklahoma Academic

School, or are members of the Oklahoma Honor Society may purchase an honor

jacket if they meet the criteria required of them for their respecve acvies. This

criteria is established by the respecve heads of the various organizaons. The fol-

lowing acvies are sanconed by the O.S.S.A.A.: ALL SPORTS, BAND, Quiz Bowl,

cheerleaders, speech, and chorus.

Students must aain Junior or Senior Class status to purchase an honor jacket. Sen-

iors not earning a leer by the above requirements, but having connuously parci-

pated in their chosen sport may receive a leer of parcipaon upon the recom-

mendaon of the head coach (for that sport) and the athlec director.

STUDENT COUNCIL AND CLASS OFFICERS

To be eligible for membership in the student council, all members and ocers must

have and maintain acceptable minimum cizenship standards, and at least a 3.0

GPA. The preceding requirements are to be determined by the administraon. In

case class ocers do not meet these standards, new members must be elected by

the class concerned in order to have representaon in the council. To be eligible for

nominaon to student council oces, the students must have maintained a 3.0 GPA

for the two semesters preceding their nominaon. The president must be a senior.

The vice-president may be either a senior or a junior and secretary/treasurer may be

STUDENT/ADULT ACTIVITY PASSES

There are two types of acvity passes. One pass is good for only high school football

and basketball games and is $25 for students and $35 for adults. The other type is

good for all middle school and high school football and basketball games. That pass

is $35 for students and $50 for adults.

PICTURES

Each year school pictures are taken by the designated school photographer shortly

aer the opening of school. All students must have pictures taken, even though they

don’t intend to purchase them, so that the yearbook will be complete. All seniors

must have their pictures taken; however, no one is obligated to order or purchase

pictures. Pictures ordered must be paid for in advance.

MEDIA POLICY

A picture of your child or project created by your child may be included in a form of

media that is used by Muldrow Public Schools. The form of media may include the

school web pages, newspaper, etc. We may use the resulng project on one or

more of the following ways:

· Use as a demonstraon project/acvity in educaonal workshops, classes, and/

or conferences.

· Use as a sample project/acvity on CD’s created by Muldrow Public School for

use in educaonal workshops and student classrooms.

· Post projects on the school web-based pages on the Internet.

· Submit as samples to program publishers or as a grant and contest entries.

· Use porons of the project(s) on a videotape made during a student

presentaon of the project.

If you wish for your child to not be included in Muldrow Public School media please

request a form from the Principal’s oce.

LIBRARY BOOKS AND TEXTBOOKS

These books are expensive and large sums of money are spent each year so that

students in the State of Oklahoma may have free textbooks.

Pride should be taken in the care and maintenance of books. Students should not

write or mark in them in any way. Any student who abuses books may have them

taken away. Some workbooks will be purchased by the student. Students will be

required to pay for any lost text or library book that is charged out to them. Fines

will be assessed for library books that are not returned before or on the date due.

Students who have not returned or paid for a textbook will not be issued textbooks

the next school year unl all previous textbook charges are cleared.

LOCKERS

Lockers are issued each year for the convenience of the students. All lockers in the

school must be kept closed at all mes. The school reserves the right to search any

locker at any me. If a locker needs repair, contact the oce. No posters or wring

will be permied either inside or outside lockers. Students who damage lockers will

be required to pay for the repairs. Muldrow High School is not responsible for lost or

stolen items in lockers.

COMPUTER USE POLICY

At Muldrow High School you will have access to a high-speed connecon to the

internet. MHS students will be issued a Chromebook to be used for school work only,

provided the parent consent contract has been signed and turned in.

When you use the computers at Muldrow, you have a responsibility to use them cor-

rectly. This means that they should not be used to access or create material that

doesn’t belong at school. This includes, but is not limited to, images and messages

that are sexually explicit, grotesquely violent, or seek to demean or harass others.

Please be aware that the privilege of computer use at Muldrow depends on your

ability to use them correctly. You may lose that privilege if you are unable to act re-

sponsibly.

There is no charge for using the MHS internet services. However, only those students

who have turned in an Internet Access Parent/Guardian Permission Form will be al-

lowed to access the internet.

STUDENT LUNCHES

The Muldrow Food Service Department aempts to provide nutrious meals daily to

all of our students. The school district aempts to keep the cost of the meal as low

as possible and yet maintain a quality meal.

The School district encourages all parents to ll out the Free or Reduced priced meal

applicaon. The applicaon is available in the principal’s oce. We understand not

all parents will qualify for free or reduced meals and, therefore, must pay the full

price. In addion, we understand charging meals is more convenient to some par-

ents and we want to connue the pracce of charging. However, because of several

delinquent charges we must have a beer understanding of how meals may be

charged and when the charges must be paid.

Due to Community Eligibility Provision all high school student

lunches will be free during the 2023-2024 school year.

It is the policy of Muldrow Schools that all meals served in the cafeteria be paid for in advance.

However, charges may be allowed upon the request of the parents. All meal charges must be

paid by the 10th of each month for the previous month. A delinquent charge of 10% will be

added if the charge isn’t paid by the 10th of the month. Students having delinquent charges

will not be allowed to charge meals aer the 10th of the month unless special permission is

granted by the administraon.

Students who are delinquent in charges will not be allowed to charge a meal. They may pay

daily for their meal if they choose to eat. Any student who knowingly connues to charge a

meal, aer being advised he/she cannot charge unl his bill is paid, will be considered in viola-

on of school policy and appropriate discipline will be taken.

Any money in a student’s account at the end of the school year will be put into the student’s

account for the next scal year. If the student leaves the district without requesng a refund,

any balance below $5.00 will be used as a donaon to the Child Nutrion Program (NCP). If

the amount is more than that, the money will be forwarded to the known address of the stu-

dent. If the envelope is returned unopened, the money will be a donaon to the CNP.

CLOSED CAMPUS POLICY

Muldrow High School is a closed campus. Sack lunches brought from home are to be

eaten in designated areas. Food or drinks are not to be taken out of the cafeteria.

No call out meal service is allowed on campus (ie Door Dash, Grubhub, etc)

Students may not sign out for lunch unless approved by the principal.

LEAVING OR RETURNING TO SCHOOL

The school has a closed campus policy during the school day. Any student leaving the

school campus during the school day must be cleared to leave and sign out through

the oce. Violaon of this rule may result in suspension.

When returning to school or arriving late, students must check in at the oce.

AFTER SCHOOL

Students are to leave the campus immediately aer dismissal at the end of the day

unless they are parcipang in supervised acvies. Students are to leave the build-

ing by 3:30 pm if not working for a teacher. Any student not riding a bus, who has

not been picked up by 3:30p.m., must report to the high school oce.

MOTOR VEHICLES

The lot east of the cafeteria (front of the bus barn) is designated as the band, fresh-

man and sophomore class parking. The lot west of the cafeteria (front of the gym) is

designed as the senior class parking The lot west of the high school (front of the

Math/Science Building) is designated as the junior class parking. The lot north of the

Math and Science Building is designated as teacher parking. Park in your designated

lot. DO NOT park around the gym, Speech Building or the Ag Building. Cars will

remain parked from the me school starts unl school is dismissed unless other ar-

rangements are made with the principal.

Students are urged to observe rules of safety in operang their motor vehicles.

There will be no sing in parked cars around the school. Any violaon to parking

rules may result in loss of parking privileges. Length of penalty will be determined by

the principal. Trac should ALWAYS move slowly on parking lots; speed limit of 5

MPH. Students will be expected to have a driver’s license if they drive a vehicle to

school.

Students are not to go to the parking areas or cars during the school day unless spe-

cial permission is granted. Absolutely no students will be allowed to be transported

in the back of any pickup, at bed truck, or trailer unless permission form the proper

authories have been granted, which would only be in the case of our annual home-

coming parade, where the speed of the transporng vehicle would not exceed 5

MPH.

STUDENTS WHO RIDE ON THE BUSES

Your bus driver is an important person in your school life. Do what he or she tells

you. Your life may depend on it. Any bus student who connues to annoy others or

break regulaons will be referred to the school principal.

Be at the appointed bus stop on me. If you know you will not be riding the bus any

day, nofy your driver so he or she won’t make any unnecessary trip or stop for you.

The buses will not wait for you aer school. It is your fault if you miss your bus.

Use of tobacco in any form, using profane language, and horseplay of any kind will

not be tolerated on the bus at any me.

Remember riding a school bus is a privilege. Violaon of bus rules may result in loss

of that privilege.

A guest riding with another student must have a note signed by the principal.

Wrien permission or a parent phone call will be needed to ride a dierent bus or a

for a guest rider.

ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS

Assembly programs will be arranged by the assembly commiee. These programs

are a part of educaon and are presented for informaon and entertainment. Ob-

servance of a few simple rules will allow everybody to enjoy programs and will help

the ones who are presenng the program.

RULES FOR ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS

1. Give courteous aenon to the program and avoid disturbing others.

2. Applaud with appreciaon, but don’t whistle, shout or over-applaud.

3. Sit straight in your seat.

4. Students will not leave before the assembly is complete.

TELEPHONE CALLS AND MESSAGES

Except in an emergency, no one will be called to the telephone or given a message

while he/she is in class or an assembly. A noce will be sent to the person called so

that the number may be called at the end of the period. Students are to request per-

mission from someone in charge before making calls in the oce.

CELL PHONES/ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Our goal at Muldrow High School is to provide our students with the opportunity to

be a responsible student and to make wise decisions in the use of cell phones and

other electronics. We will not allow cell phones, electronic devices or the social me-

dia sites connected with electronics to interfere with or disrupt the educaonal pro-

cess.

1. Students may use their cell phones/electronic devices for texng and lis-

tening during passing periods in the hallways and during their designated

lunch period.

2. For safety reasons, students may have only one ear bud in their seat at

any me, and personal headphones will NOT be allowed at any me, dur-

ing school hours or while on campus. Students must be able to hear in-

strucons and/or direcves at all mes. If used on campus, headphones

may be conscated and returned to the parent.

3. Portable speakers are NOT allowed in the school. Students who enter the

building with a portable speaker will have the speaker conscated and

returned to the parent.

4. Students may NOT use their cell phones/electronic devices in classrooms

for any reason including checking the me of day unless otherwise di-

rected by the teacher for instruconal purposes. Any space used for the

delivery of instrucon is considered a classroom i.e. gym, library, DL room,

barn, eld house, athlec elds, weight room, computer labs.

5. Voice conversaon will NOT be allowed from 8:00 am to 3:20 pm in any

locaon of the Muldrow High School campus during the school day. If an

emergency situaon occurs, students must have permission form an ad-

ministrator to use voice conversaon. The conversaon must occur in the

privacy of an administrator’s or counselor’s oce.

6. Cell phones/electronic devices may NOT be used in the halls/restrooms/

common areas during a student’s class me. A student found using his/

her cell phone/electronic device when he/she is assigned to classroom but

is in the hallway or in a restroom (with or without permission) will be con-

sidered in violaon of this policy and the phone/electronic device may be

conscated.

7. Students may NOT use their cell phones/electronic devices to take pic-

tures or streaming video of other students, teachers, or classrooms with-

out the expressed wrien permission of the person(s) being photo-

graphed. This is a violaon of a person’s privacy and will not be tolerated

DISTRIBUTION OF MEDICATIONS

Under Oklahoma law, a school nurse, an administrator, or other designated school

employee may administer prescripon and non-prescripon medicaons to

students. Students are not allowed to be in possession of medicaon unless a doctor

has prescribed them to carry the medicaon. The following procedures must be

followed.

1. School personnel can only administer medicaon that has been

prescribed for a student by a physician. This includes over-the-

counter medicaons.

2. The parent must deliver the student prescripon medicaons to the

school nurse or an administrator in its original container with the

parent’s wrien authorizaon for the administraon of the medicine.

The container must contain the following informaon:

• Student’s name

• Name & strength of medicaon

• Dosage and direcons for administraon

• Name of physician or denst

• Date and name of the pharmacy

3. Non-prescripon medicaons must also be in the original container and

accompanied by the physician’s wrien instrucons for administraon

along with the parent’s wrien authorizaon for the administraon of

the medicine. Any student possessing or distribung non-prescripon

medicaon may be suspended.

ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICY

Policy:

Any student who possesses, sells, or uses illegal drugs or alcohol on school property

or at school funcons may be suspended by school ocials.

Interpolaon:

This rule states the law with regard to illegal drugs or alcohol is considered to be a

serious problem, involving not only law-breaking, but health as well.

Procedure:

1. The student's re-admiance will be determined by the superintendent’s

designee in consultaon with the student and his parents.

2. The school ocial in charge will immediately remove the student suspected of

possessing or selling illegal drugs or alcohol on school property from contact

with other students and thereupon every aempt will be made to contact the

parents or legal guardian. (Federal and Local) law ocials will be noed.

3. If the school ocial in charge cannot contact the parents or legal guardian, they

will take whatever acon they deem necessary in the interest and welfare of the

student and the student body, e.g. calling the physician listed by the parents or

the emergency ward of the local hospital. In all such cases (Federal and Local)

law enforcement ocials will be advised. Thereupon every aempt will be made

to nofy parents or legal guardians so that they might be present at the law

enforcement interview or might give their permission for an interview without

their presence.

4. If the school suspects the use, sale, or possession of illegal drugs or alcohol by a

student, but does not have hard evidence to support that suspicion, the school

may suspend the student and contact the parents relave to the school’s

suspicion.

5. Forfeiture of class trips, acvies, and/or privileges may connue aer the

suspension demands have been met, at the principal’s discreon.

EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENT BEHAVIOR

The Muldrow Board of Educaon believes that the school’s primary goal is to

educate, not to discipline. However, educaon includes establishing norms of social

behavior and assisng students in understanding and aaining these norms. When

the behavior of an individual student comes into conict with the rights of others or

disrupts the educaonal process in the classroom, correcve acons are necessary

for the benet of the individual and the school.

Each student shall be treated in a fair and equitable manner. Disciplinary acon will

be based on a careful assessment of the circumstances surrounding each infracon.

The following are some examples of these circumstances.

A. The seriousness of the oense.

B. The eect of the oense on other students.

C. Whether the incident is isolated or a habitual behavior.

D. Any other circumstances which may be appropriately considered.

In administering discipline, consideraon will be given to alternave methods of

punishment to insure that the most eecve discipline is administered in each case.

In all disciplinary acon, teachers and administrators will be mindful of the fact that

they are dealing with individual personalies. The faculty may consider consultaon

with parents to determine the most eecve disciplinary measure.

DRESS CODE

Good standards of dress and grooming reect sound judgment, poise, and increased

maturity. Since many future employers request informaon concerning the personal

appearance of prospecve employees, all students should take pride in their dress

and appearance. All students must dress modestly, properly, and neatly, to insure

the health and safety of all students enrolled.

The counselor, assistant principal, and/or principal have the authority to rule on the

appropriateness of any dress code violaon. Students whose clothing is

inappropriate in the opinion of the administraon will be sent home to change or

call home to have clothing brought to them. We also have a clothes closet from

which they can get appropriate clothing. Students that are in violaon of the dress

code will stay in ISS unl they have clothes that meet dress code. Repeated dress

code violaons may lead to disciplinary acons. The following standards for school

dress and appearance will be observed:

All students must comply with the following regulaons as to proper school dress:

1) Shoes must be worn at all mes on the school campus.

2) No obscene slogans, words, wrings, messages, or drawings on clothing will be

permied.

3) Shirts which adverse, picture, or suggest alcoholic beverages, drugs, tobacco

products, or parcular causes and/or eects are not appropriate and are not to

be worn to school.

the school building. The only excepon would be if prior approval was made

with the principal.

5) The circumference of all shorts, skirts, dresses worn to school must be no

shorter than nger-p length.

6) Tight ng clothing, for example: spandex, ght sweatpants, leggings, or others

7) Pants must be worn at the waist as designed. No low hung bagging jeans or

pants are permied.

8) Facial piercing will be limited to two and be in stud or modest hoop form. No

gauges (ear or facial) or pointed/spiked studs will be allowed. NO SEPTUM

PIERCINGS ARE ALLOWED. Any piercings which disrupt or have the potenal to

disrupt the high school environment or which are deemed a safety hazard by

administraon will not be allowed.

9) Chains may not be worn as apparel or as an aachment to clothing accessories.

10) Hair should be kept clean and combed out of the eyes at all mes.

11) Facial hair must be kept neat and trimmed at all mes.

IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION (ISS)

The goal of ISS is to modify unacceptable behavior and reduce out-of-school

suspension. In-School Suspension oen remains the nal step before out of school

suspension. The Principal and Assistant Principal are responsible for the assignment

of students to the program. Parents will be noed of their child’s assignment to ISS

and requested to discuss and assist in the resolve of this maer. The In-School

Suspension program is designed to have components to address students’ academic

and social needs, since frequently suspended students have both academic and

behavioral problems.

Students will be provided individualized assignments from their teachers. They are

expected to hand in the completed work to the ISS supervisor. Student’s completed

work will be returned to their teacher at the end of the day. Students must complete

all assignments.

Students assigned to ISS may, upon compleon of course work assignments, be re-

quired to parcipate in daily school services (work) program under the direct super-

vision of school personnel. Length of me in ISS will be depend on the severity of the

oense.

Students start their suspension with an orientaon. The orientaon removes all of

the “I didn’t knows” from student excuses. Students are immediately responsible for

their success or failure.

DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS

It is the policy of the Muldrow Board of Educaon that all students and employees

of this school district be made aware of the board’s intenon to maintain a drug-

free environment.

Students and employees who possess, use or distribute illicit drugs including

anabolic steroids or alcohol shall be subject to disciplinary acon. Such

disciplinary acon may include long-term suspension for students and

employment terminaon for employees. In addion to suspension and/or

terminaon, students and employees are subject to referral for prosecuon under

applicable laws.

Various State and Federal laws impose severe penales for the use, possession, or

sale of illicit drugs. The Federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 United States Code

Annotated (U.S.C.A.), and The Comprehensive Drug Abuse and Control Act of 1970,

21 U.S.C.A., Secon 848, provides federal sancons and the Uniform Controlled

Dangerous Substances Act, Oklahoma Statutes, Title 63, Secon 2-101, and others,

plus various criminal statutes provide state sancons.

Chemical dependence is a contagious, progressive disease that does not disappear of

its own accord. Because drugs have a destrucve impact on the brain, regular users

lose control over their behavior, and most of them nd it extremely dicult to stop

using drugs without outside intervenon. Using a drug just “one-me” predisposes a

person to try it again because that person has apparently violated a taboo with

impunity. For addional health hazards associated with drug or alcohol use, please

refer to the school district’s drug educaon curriculum and to district policy FFB,

Teaching about Drugs, Alcohol, and Tobacco.

Any student or employee of this school district who believes that he or she may have

a problem with drug abuse may be referred to appropriate local agencies for

counseling, treatment, or rehabilitaon. For addional informaon concerning

assistance available, please refer to the school district’s educaon curriculum.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

The Family Educaonal Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) aords parents and students

over 18 years of age (eligible students) certain rights with respect to the student’s

educaon records.

They are:

The right to inspect and review the student’s educaon records within 45 days of

the day the district receives a request for access. Parents or eligible students

should submit to the school principal (or appropriate school ocial) a wrien

request that idenes the record(s) they wish to inspect. The principal will make

arrangements for access and nofy the parent or eligible student of the me and

place where the records may be inspected.

The right to request the amendment of the student’s educaon records that the

parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate or misleading.

Parents or eligible students may ask the district to amend a record that they

believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the school principal,

clearly idenfy the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is

inaccurate or misleading. If the district decides not to amend the record as

requested by the parent or eligible student, the district will nofy the parent or

eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing

regarding the request for amendment. Addional informaon regarding the

hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when

noed of the right to a hearing.

The right to consent to disclosures of personally idenable informaon

contained in the student’s educaon records, except to the extent that FERPA

authorizes disclosure without consent. One excepon which permits disclosure

without consent is disclosure to school ocials with legimate educaonal

interests. A school ocial is a person employed by the district as an

administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support sta member (including health

or medical sta and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the

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 a parent or student serving on an ocial commiee, such as a

disciplinary or grievance commiee, or assisng another school ocial in

performing his or her tasks. A school ocial has a legimate educaonal interest

if the ocial needs to review an educaon record in order to fulll his or her

professional responsibility.

The right to le a complaint with the U.S. Department of Educaon concerning

alleged failures of the district to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name

and address of the oce that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Oce

U.S. Department of Educaon

400 Maryland Avenue, SW

Washington, D.C. 20202-4605

The federal law requires that local educaonal agencies, such as Muldrow Public

Schools, with certain excepons, obtain parental wrien consent prior to the

disclosure of personally idenable informaon from a child’s educaon records.

However, Muldrow Schools may disclose appropriately designated “directory

informaon” without wrien consent unless a parent has advised the district to the

contrary in accordance with district procedures.

The federal law also requires local educaon agencies to provide military recruiters

and/or instuons of higher educaon, upon request, with three directory

informaon categories of juniors and seniors names, addresses and telephone

lisngs unless parents have advised the educaon agency that they do not want their

student’s informaon disclosed without their prior wrien consent.

ASBESTOS POLICES

This is to inform you that MULDROW SCHOOLS is in compliance with

regulaons established by AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act)

calling for schools serving kindergarten through high school students to

idenfy and remove or safely maintain asbestos materials in the facility

structure.

in one area of our facility. It does not pose a hazard to any student or

employee and it is being maintained in a manner which will insure that it does

not become a hazard in the future. Sta members have been trained in the

appropriate maintenance of the materials in order to assure the safety of all

that use this facility.
