14 | P a g e Pledge of Allegiance Students may not be forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, but they are required to show full respect to the flag during this process. Lockers Students may visit their lockers at the following times only: before homeroom before and after lunch at the end of the school day Lockers should be locked at all other times. Students should not share their combinations or locker space with other students. Student lockers may be inspected by school authorities when necessary. The school is not responsible for personal or school property lost or stolen from student lockers Student Vandalism New Jersey State Law holds parents responsible for damage of school property caused by their children. Parents must pay the Asbury Park Board of Education for the damaged property and any court costs. Student Searches The New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled that school officials have the right to search students or their lockers if they have reasonable grounds to believe a student has evidence of illegal activity or activity that would interfere with school order. School officials do not need a warrant to search school lockers, but they must inform students at least once a year that such searches might occur.
15 | P a g e Attendance School attendance shall be a factor in the determination of a pupil's promotion or retention. Only extenuating circumstances should permit the promotion of a pupil who has been in attendance fewer than one hundred fifty days during the school year. Repeated truancies may result in the suspension or expulsion of any pupil from the course of study during which absences have occurred or the suspension or expulsion in accordance with Policy Nos. 5610 and 5620. This recommendation will come from the Director of Student Personnel Services after all resources have been exhausted. Pupils shall be subjected to the school district response for unexcused absences during the school year as outlined in N.J.A.C. 6A:16-7.8(a)4 and Regulation 5200. In addition, unexcused absences from school or from classes within the school day shall subject a pupil to the disciplinary rules of the Board, which may include but not limited to denial of a pupil's participation in co-curricular activities and/or athletic competition, denial or revocation of working papers. Eleven or more absences = no credit for half year course Twenty-one plus absences = no credit for year course Excused Absences Pupils absent from school for any reason are responsible for the completion of missed assignments. No student excused for a religious holiday shall be deprived of an award or eligibility to compete for an award or the opportunity to make up a test given on the religious holiday. Excused absences include personal illness or injury, death in the family, religious holiday and school-sponsored activities. Excused notes must be handed in within 5 days of returning in order to count as an excused absence. All students must attend 4.5 hours of school in order to participate in sports and activities. Students who are absent for any reason will be required to make up missed assignments in each class. The make-up assignment should reflect an equivalent level of work and effort as the assignments completed during the regular class time. All make up work must be in by the end of the grading period. Only in extreme cases of prolonged absence will more than one week be allowed for work to be made up, unless permission is granted by the office of the Principal. An absence does not excuse a student from responsibility for all recitations on the day of his/her return, whereas the student has five days upon return to complete the makeup work. Grades will be withheld if make-up work is not turned in and will lead to failure if the situation is not remedied immediately. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain all make up work from his/her teachers immediately upon return to school. Failure to obtain make up work is no excuse for missing assignments. Student Early Sign Out Not all early sign outs are excused. Illness must be verified by the school nurse. SPOT nurse practitioner, doctor, dentist and driver’s test appointments must have written verification. Court appearances must be concerning the student. These are the only early sign outs that will be excused.
