Student Spectators Student spectators are expected to demonstrate good sportsmanship and appropriate social behavior during all athletic events or school activities. Participation in athletic contests as a spectator carries specific responsibilities, namely quietly and respectfully standing (or singing) for the National Anthem and Alma Maters with hats removed. Responsible spectators also sit in designated student areas, or seats assigned by tickets; cheering is not to be offensive or rudely critical of student athletes or referees. Spectators at drama, musical or other types of events are also expected to be respectful towards the performers and other audience members. Students are prohibited from displaying any unauthorized signs. To participate in or attend any school activity, a student must be in attendance for at least one-half of the actual time that school is in session (before 10:30am). Students are also expected to report on time and be in attendance for the full day following events and activities as well. If a suspension period includes a weekend or vacation day(s) the student is ineligible to participate in any school activity until the suspension is completed. If the event is held on the weekend, students must attend school the last day of the week preceding the event. All rules in the Discipline section of this handbook will be enforced. The School District reserves the right to remove any spectator who does not comply with the established student conduct and WPIAL rules, and refer to proper law enforcement agencies. Telephone Usage Students cannot be called to the telephone during the school day, but emergency messages from parents/guardians will be conveyed to the student as soon as possible. Students will be permitted to use the Office phones, with a hall pass from their teacher. Vending Machines Vending machines for water, milk, juice, and healthy snacks are available in the cafeteria and gym lobby areas of the building. These beverages and snacks are to be consumed only at designated areas and times during the school day or school functions. From 7:18 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., all vending machines are closed, except during breakfast and lunch, when those in the cafeteria will be in operation. Video Surveillance Balancing the right of privacy of students and staff against the District’s duty to maintain order and discipline, the Norwin Board of Education has approved a policy that provides for the use of video camera surveillance on school grounds, school buses and in school buildings. Cameras shall only be installed in identified public areas, and on District-utilized transportation, except as otherwise provided in the policy. Cameras shall not be positioned in areas where individuals have a legitimate right to expect privacy; i.e., washrooms, change rooms, and staff rooms. Use of video surveillance in the District shall at all times comply with federal and state laws covering matters such as wiretapping/electronic surveillance and the privacy and disclosure of student records. Any activities detected through the use of video surveillance cameras that present a violation of school rules, breach of security, or possible criminal activity will be reported immediately to the appropriate authority and appropriate disciplinary consequences will be administered and/or criminal charges filed consistent with Board policy and procedures. For additional details, please review Norwin School District Board Policy 713, which is available at www.norwinsd.org under SCHOOL BOARD and “Board Policies.” 56
Visitors All visitors must register in the Administration Office upon arrival at the high school. Entry without approved registration will be filed as trespassing with the local police. Students are not permitted to bring visitors to school. Working Permits The Child Labor Laws set standards of age, physical fitness, and education that must be met before a child can be employed in specific occupations. Students wishing to engage in approved employment during hours that do not violate the law nor interfere with regular school attendance student should apply for a suitable employment certificate. The application must be completed by the parent, physician, and employer, and be presented with the student’s birth certificate. Working permits can be obtained from the Attendance Office between the hours of 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM. During the summer months, these may be obtained from the High School Administration Office. 57
