Info

� All residence halls have TVs to provide both entertainment and educational experiences for the students. The national TV industry publishes parental guidelines for viewing programs. School staff looks to these guidelines in order to determine what is most suitable for the students in their care. � Video games with “E” can be played by students in middle school and high school. Games with “T” can only be played by students aged 13 and above and with parent’s signed permission. Games with “M” can only be played by students aged 18 or above and with parent’s signed permission and approval from the Dean of Students. Any exceptions to the above policies must be presented to the Principal with written justification and under no circumstances will consent be made without parental involvement. School Visitors Parents and the general public are welcome to visit the school to meet administrators, faculty, and staff, view the facilities, gain knowledge of the instructional programs, and share ideas. Those wishing to observe classes or to meet with staff members should arrange their visit in advance to ensure that the time is appropriate and does not interfere with planned activities or instructional time. Parents seeking enrollment for their children may make an appointment for a visit at any time during the school year. All visitors are required to register at the main office in the Ely building or the Elementary building upon arrival and are required to wear an identification badge while on school property. Students Driving to MSD If a residential student will be driving a car to school, prior approval must be obtained from the Dean of Students. Students driving daily to school may leave campus no earlier than the end of the last period of instruction. Students are not permitted to go to their car at any time during the school day. During school hours, students may only park on public streets. Students may park at the Benson Gymnasium parking lot after 3 p.m. Students Visiting Homes of Staff Members or Volunteers MSD does not endorse and will not facilitate students visiting homes of MSD employees and volunteers. Tutoring Tutoring at MSD can occur in one of three different ways. The first is commonly referred to as “before or after school help” and is only related to current course content that a student may have some difficulty mastering. This can be initiated by the middle school/high school student, teacher or parent. This type of tutoring occurs only during the regular course of a school day as student and teacher are available, and may be provided only by the teacher of that specific course. The second type of tutoring is paid or unpaid volunteer private tutoring which is arranged outside of MSD. This type of tutoring may only be done by persons not associated with the school. The final type of tutoring is when the parent requests the school’s assistance in locating a private tutor who also is an employee of MSD. This tutoring occurs after school hours and is conducted outside of MSD. All requests for after school or summer tutoring from the students, parents, or teachers will be sent directly to the campus Principal. Using Bicycles, Skateboards, Rollerblades, Roller Skates, and Scooters For safety reasons no skateboards, rollerblades, roller skates and scooters will be allowed on campus at any time. Bicycles may be used for personal transportation from home to school daily. However, bicycles are not to be used during school hours. Volunteers MSD welcomes volunteers in our school buildings. Adults who wish to volunteer in our school must contact the Volunteer Coordinator and must follow campus procedures before volunteering on campus. Parent and Student Handbook, 2012-2013 Frederick 51
What’s On the Menu? Students are offered a traditional school lunch that is approved by the Department of Agriculture. Staff and visitors are welcome to buy lunch at the cafeteria. To find out what’s on the menu, check MSD’s website, under the cafeteria menu icon. Students are expected to follow posted cafeteria rules when dining in the cafeteria. What We Do During Bad Weather and Emergencies Inclement weather or other safety conditions may require us to close or have a delayed opening. This decision involves careful evaluation of a variety of factors in a compressed time period. Decisions are made as early as possible for morning closings and delays. 1. How will I know if Maryland School for the Deaf, Frederick Campus is opening late? If Frederick County Public Schools open 2 hours late, MSD-FC will open 2 hours late. 2. How will I know if Maryland School for the Deaf, Frederick Campus is closed? Although we tend to follow the county’s lead, there are circumstances when we make an independent decision, please verify our decision on www.schoolsout.com website or the message board (301-360- 2017) for the accurate information. 3. If inclement weather is predicted (really bad storm) for the next morning, what will happen? If word is out about an impending snow/ice storm, MSD-FC will send home all day students, and the residential students who have daily transportation available to them. Should the next day’s weather prove not to be a problem, buses will run and students will be brought back to school. This procedure must be followed for safety reasons. If the impending snow/ice storm is predicted for a Friday, it is possible that all students, including all the residential students will be sent home on Thursday. 4. Will the bus pick up my child in bad weather and take them to MSD?
