MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Greer Middle School is to empower students to become independent, productive learners who exemplify good character in an increasingly global society.

We believe our students should:

ü      give and be given respect.

ü      be constantly challenged with standards driven curriculum and instruction.

ü      share the accountability for education with parents, teachers, and the community.

ü      receive curriculum, instruction, and assessment aligned to meet their individual needs.

ü      be able to communicate effectively and solve problems.

ü      feel safe both emotionally and physically in and out of the classroom.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Providing rigorous academic learning opportunities is the primary function of Greer Middle School. To accomplish this objective, we believe our school should:

ü       challenge all students to use their minds well

ü       be developmentally responsive and sensitive to the unique challenges of middle school students

ü       have high expectations for all students

ü       involve families as partners.

Students will reach their fullest potential by:

ü      attending school each day

ü       bringing the proper materials to class.

ü       actively engaging in the learning process.

Academic Grading Policy

A=93-100   B=85-92   C=77-84 

 D=70-76   F=0-69

Students will receive a numeric grade for each subject based on the grading scale. The numeric grade and category of the course determine the quality points earned for each subject. Middle school courses, except those taken for high school credit, earn the base weight.

Attendance

South Carolina Law requires the regular attendance of all pupils. The School District of Greenville County has adopted uniform rules to assure that students attend school regularly. Students are counted present only when they are actually in school, on homebound instruction, or are present at an activity authorized by the school principal.

The school year consists of 180 days. To receive credit, students must attend at least 85 days of each 90-day semester course and at least 170 days of each 180-day year course, as well as meet all minimum requirements for each course. Accrued students absences may not exceed ten (10) days during the school year. Any absence in excess of ten (10) may cause the student to lose credit for the year. Because 170 days are the minimum required by the state, the first ten (10) absences may be lawful, unlawful, or a combination. All absences beginning with the eleventh (11th) day must be lawful and will be excused if they fall within the following guidelines:

Lawful Absences:

Personal illness of a child verified by a statement from a physician within two (2) days of the students' return to school. Absences for CHRONIC or EXTENDED illness will be approved only when verified by a physician's statement. (This includes doctor's appointments.) Serious illness or death of an immediate family member verified by a statement from the parent within two (2) days of the student's return to school. Absences for religious holidays when approved in advance.  Requests must be made to the Principal in writing. Absences for extreme hardships must be approved by the Princpal. Such approval should be prearranged when possible.

Unlawful Absences:

Any student absence, with or without the knowledge of the parent, which does not meet the conditions for a lawful absence, shall be counted as unlawful and will not be excused. When a student returns to school from being absent he/she should bring a note explaining why he/she was absent. The note should be signed by a parent/guardian and dated.

Students should present parent excuses to their homeroom teacher on the day they return to school. This should be done at the beginning of the period.

        Procedures for Make-up Work

All students with excused absences may make up work. It is the student's responsibility to arrange, with his/her teacher(s), a method of making up missed schoolwork. The work should be made up within five (5) days after the student returns to school. If a test or other project has been previously announced before the student's absence, the student should be prepared to complete the assignment on his/her return to school.

Make-up of schoolwork missed during unexcused absences may be approved only with the permission of the principal, after he consults with the teacher(s) concerned.

Parents of a student who is ill and will be absent from school three (3) or more consecutive days may request assignments by contacting the guidance office (848-2356). Parents should call the guidance office between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. to request class assignments. Parents may pick up these assignments after 3:00 p.m. in the main office.

Tardiness

School begins at 8:15 for all grades.  Students not in homeroom at 8:15 are TARDY.  If a student arrives after 8:15, he/she must report to the office for an admittance slip to be admitted to class.

Cutting

Students will not leave the school grounds during the day without permission from an administrator. Students who leave the school grounds without permission, or students who are absent without the consent of parents or guardian, shall be considered truant and shall be liable for suspension from school. Once a student comes on school grounds he/she is the responsibility of the school.  Going to the high school without permission is considered cutting school.

Exams

Nine weeks and/or semester exams are given in core academic classes. End of course exams are required in Algebra I, English I Honors and Geometry and count 20 percent of the final grade. Students may exempt exams if they achieve an  ‘A’ average in their academic classes. EX: If a student makes a grade lower than an "A" during the year, but the final average is an "A" the student may exempt.

Field Trips

Teachers provide field trips for enrichment opportunities from time to time. We do not wish to prohibit any student from attending a field trip but if a student has been suspended, served after school detention, or lunch detention an abnormally large number of times and in the opinion of the teachers/administrators involved would be a detriment to the field trip, the student will not be allowed to participate. If a student misbehaves during the time between sign-up and final payment of the field trip, he/she may forfeit all or part of the money paid. Students are reminded that all items brought on a field trip are the responsibility of the student; neither the bus nor the bus company is responsible for missing or damaged items.

Homework

Your child is likely to have some homework daily. The school has provided your child with an agenda for writing down daily assignments. We believe this book will be helpful to your child as you work with your child at home. There are several reasons for assigning homework:

To provide extra practice; to enhance learning in areas covered in classes; to provide an opportunity for students to learn good work/study habits; to provide opportunity for growth and responsibility; and to provide an opportunity to see what your child is studying and how well he/she is doing. Homework will count no more than 15% of the overall grade in each nine weeks.

We think learning is important and that learning should continue after school hours.

Guidance Services

If you would like to talk with someone about academic concerns related to school, personal issues or peer relations, get a pass from your teacher to see your counselor. Parents are also invited to contact the Guidance Department for assistance with matters involving their children.

IBMYP

Greer Middle School is an International Baccalaureate candidate school and as such seeks to develop students who are life-long learners, critical thinkers and responsible global citizens. In addition we have created an environment in which students develop an appreciation of their own culture and well as others; develop effective communication skills in their native language as well as a foreign language; and make connections among subjects they are learning in school and real life.

Progress Reports

Mid-quarter progress reports will be given to all students four times during the school year: September22, 2005; November 30, 2005; February 21, 2006; May 4, 2006.

 It is the student's responsibility to give progress reports to parents. It is recommended that parents use this information from the very beginning of the school year to assist their children with academics. Students and parents should contact teachers, guidance counselors and/or the Administration to discuss changes in student academic performance.

Report Cards

Report cards will be given to students at the end of each of these nine-week periods: November 1, 2005; January 24, 2006; April 5, 2006. The last nine weeks report card will be mailed June 8, 2006. 

It is the student's responsibility to give report cards to parents. The information on the report card is intended to give students and parents a means of evaluating the quality of work the student is doing at school. Students and parents are invited to contact the principal, counselors, and teachers for a discussion of any problems related to student academic performance.  FINAL REPORT CARDS WILL BE MAILED. PARENTS ARE ASKED TO SEND A STAMPED ENVELOPE TO MAIL THE DOCUMENT. We will print address labels from our database to ensure proper addresses.

School Day

The school day for Greer Middle School will be from 8:15 to 3:15 pm. The school will be opened to students at 7:30 a.m. Students are expected to be seated in their first period class when it begins at 8:15

Sports Participation

In order to participate in athletics, 7^th and 8^th grade students must meet the minimum criteria stated by the High School League. Students wishing to participate must have an overall passing average in each of their academic classes. Each athlete is expected to conduct himself/herself in an honorable way at all times-in school and in the community. In addition, students who have been suspended from school will be ineligible for participation. Students must also provide the required forms to participate.

SWOOSH—School Wide Optimal Organizational Student Handbook

All GMS students will use the SWOOSH notebook.  These uniquely designed three ring binders are all inclusive.  Students have everything they need except their textbook.  SWOOSH  provides many benefits for students including improving performance, organizational skills, and more effective preparation for class.  Because the SWOOSH notebook is an essential and required element of the academic year, GMS will provide the first notebook.  However, if the student loses the notebook, he/she will be required to purchase a new one.  Students will receive training in the use of the notebook during the first week of school.

 Textbooks

Textbooks are issued to all students in all subject areas. Students are expected to care for textbooks as if they were their own. Books have to be used a minimum of 6 years. ALL LOST OR DAMAGED TEXTBOOKS MUST BE PAID FOR. Students are asked to do the following to protect textbooks:

ü       put a non-adhesive cover on all books.

ü       do not force books into lockers.

ü       do not leave books outside.

ü      do not loan books to classmates.

ü       do not put books in a friend’s locker.

ü      do not drop books on the floor. 

ü      write you name in your book as directed by teacher.

Transfers and Withdrawals

Parent/guardians must come into Greer Middle School to transfer or withdraw a student.  Students must return all textbooks.  Students must get clearance from the media center and the cafeteria regarding any unpaid fees.

The student must report to the Guidance Office by 8:30 a.m. on the morning of his/her last day of attendance to pick up the withdrawal form, which will be completed by his/her teachers.  At the end of the day he/she will receive a withdrawal packet to take to the new school.  The packet will contain copies of immunizations, birth certificate, social security card, attendance, and grades. 

GENERAL INFORMATION

The following information is provided as general guidelines of normal procedures at GMS. Some of the information is based on policy and other important guiding principles. If you have any questions, contact the office for further clarification.

Accidents , Emergencies, Medical Conditions

Every effort is made to prevent accidents. If an accident occurs, school officials will administer first aid as appropriate and the parents will be contacted as necessary. Any injured or ill child will be sent to the Nurse’s office. The Nurse is responsible for contacting parents and following District policy if needed and a child is transported for emergency care. It is critical that contact information is up to date especially in case of an emergency.

Assembly Programs

Periodically, students will be assembled for concerts/ information/presentations. To guarantee enjoyment by everyone, all attendees must: enter the gym/cafetorium quickly and in an orderly manner; observe school rules; remain respectful and quiet throughout the program; show your appreciation by applause.

Book Bags

Students may use book bags to transport books to and from school. Book bags must be locked in the student's locker from 8:15 a.m. until 3:15 p.m.  Rolling book bags are not permitted.

Bus Regulations

School bus transportation will be provided only for those pupils residing in the service area of the school which they attend and who are otherwise eligible for such transportation..." RIDING THE BUS IS A PRIVILEGE AND ANY MISBEHAVIOR COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF THIS PRIVILEGE.”

The school district of Greenville County must ensure that the bus ride to and from school is a safe one.  All bus riders are required to follow bus rules at all times.

 Each bus rider is expected to:

ü      follow the driver’s directions;

ü      sit in the assigned seats;

ü      keep hands, arms, legs, and objects to himself and inside the bus;

ü      refrain from cursing, name calling, gestures, or loud talking;

ü      refrain from pushing, shoving, or annoying other students;

ü      refrain form eating, drinking, chewing gum, or littering;

ü      obey all points of the Code of Conduct.

 

Bus Discipline

A student must obey the bus driver at all times while in his/her jurisdiction.  Violation of any bus regulation may result in temporary loss of bus privileges.  Multiple violations may result in the permanent loss of bus privileges. Usual school disciplinary sanctions such as suspension and expulsion may also be imposed.

Cafeteria

Students may deposit money into their cafeteria account on Mondays in the cafeteria. Students wishing to pay on a daily basis may pay the cashier. Money for extra milk should be paid to the cashier.

Meals may not be charged. If a student fails to pay for 3 days, a letter will be sent home to the parent notifying them of any charges. If the parent fails to respond, the student will be offered a peanut butter sandwich and milk and claimed as a paid meal. Students must purchase a lunch in order to buy extras such as candy, ice cream, etc.

Lunch  is $1.55 daily or $7.75 weekly.

Reduced lunch is $.40 daily or $2.00 weekly.

Breakfast is $.80 daily  reduced breakfast $.30 daily. Extra milk is $.40.

Students are not permitted to have candy, food, or soft drinks in the classroom or in the halls. Bag lunches are permitted in the cafeteria but should remain in your locker until that time.

Free and Reduced Meal applications must be completed annually.

 

Communication

Communication between parents and the school is key to student success. The success of our program is the result of a cooperative effort between students, parents and staff.  Parents can arrange an appointment by contacting the school at 848-2350. Teachers are required to contact parents frequently by phone, note or email.

Chewing Gum/Food

Because chewing gum is destructive to clothes, carpet and equipment it is not allowed at Greer Middle School.  Repeated offenses of this rule could lead to disciplinary action on the part of school officials.

Debts

Students are responsible for all supplies, materials or equipment checked out in their name. Parents will be notified about cafeteria debts. Media center overdue notices will be sent to teachers and  periodic checks for textbooks will be conducted to ensure textbooks .

Dismissal

Bus students are to remain in their 7^th period class until their bus is called.  Bus students found in the hallway before their bus has been called will be disciplined by the administration. All car riders and walkers are expected to exit the building in a safe manner when school is dismissed.

Early Dismissal

Parents who wish to get their student out of school early must report to the main office and sign their student out of school. If possible, please send a note in advance of the time that you want to sign out your student. This will make it faster and easier for you to sign out your student. The last early dismissal of the day will be at 2:25 p.m. If a student needs to be dismissed between 2:25 and 3:15, the parent must either sign the student out before 2:25 or wait until 3:15.

 

 

Electronic Devices

Radios, CD players, audio recorders, TVs, beepers, cell phones, laser lights, electronic games, or cartridges for these games, etc., are not to be brought to school. All unauthorized items will be confiscated and will not be returned until the last day of school. Cell phones are permitted but must be turned off during the school day unless students receive permission from the administration.

Emergency Drills

State law requires schools to conduct emergency drills each month. Drills may occur at any time during the day. The main objective of drills is to practice in case of a real emergency situation. Instructions are posted in classrooms and discussed as part of classroom procedures. Students must follow teacher directions and cooperate with all requests to ensure their safety. An announcement will be made when it is safe to re-enter the building. 

Hall Passes

A student must have a hall pass to be in the hallway for any reason except during the change of classes, going to and from lunch, and going home after school. The hall pass must include the following: Student's name, destination, time left, and teacher's signature.

Health Room

A student who needs to go to the health room must obtain a pass from his classroom teacher.  Students reporting to the nurse for illness must remain in the health room until released by the nurse to return to class or go home. If the health room is not open, the office staff will call the parent or send the student back to class.

 

 

Insurance

Insurance will be offered to students for school-time protection and for twenty-four hour protection. Receipts for premiums should be kept to show hospitals and physicians. Parents are encouraged to purchase school insurance for their children. School insurance does not cover students playing sports.

Identification of Personal Belongings

Students are strongly urged to put their name or some identifying mark on all personal belongings (i.e. coats, shoes, notebooks, lunch bags, etc). This mark should be in any inconspicuous place.

Lockers

At the beginning of the school year each student will be assigned a locker in the hallways and in their Physical Education class. Students will be responsible for the locker assigned to them. Since lockers are school property, the school retains the right to inspect lockers from time to time. A replacement fee of $5.00 must be paid for a damaged/lost P.E.lock. STUDENTS MAY NEED TO SHARE LOCKERS IN SOME GRADES BUT SHOULD NOT GIVE THEIR COMBINATIONS TO OTHER STUDENTS.  Teachers and/or administrators have the right to suspend the use of a locker if it is not properly used.  Locker breaks are held three times each day. Students are only authorized to use their lockers during locker breaks.

Loitering after School

At the close of the school day, students are expected to leave the school grounds and return home. No student is to be at school after 3:15 p.m. unless he/she is being supervised by a teacher, coach, sponsor, administrator or parent.

Lost and Found

Any articles found on the school grounds should be turned into the office. Students losing any item can have it returned by checking in lost and found and making proper identification.

Open House

An Open House for parents is scheduled in September. Parents will have the opportunity to meet teachers and tour the school. All parents are encouraged to attend.

Parental Involvement

Parents are encouraged to become involved in the life of our school by joining the PTSA or participating on the School Improvement Committee. These parent-centered organizations represent your voice in our school. In addition to participation in these important organizations, volunteers are always needed to sell tea, participate as chaperones at dances and other school events such as our pageants or assist with fund-raising activities. You may sign up at Open House or by contacting the school for the Volunteer Chairperson’s name and contact information.

Parental Visits/Conferences

Parents and other members of the community are always welcome at Greer Middle school. For the security of all students and to avoid disturbing the learning environment of students, visitors must enter by way of the office and secure permission and a visitor’s pass before going to any other part of the building. Parents and other visitors may observe classes by making arrangements in advance with the Principal. Conferences with teachers may be arranged by making an appointment through the office by calling to arrange a group conference.

PTSA

Greer Middle School’s goal is to have strong parental involvement in school activities. The PTSA will have active members and be involved in a number of events designed to support our school.

( See PTSA calendar of events on the last page) Parents may obtain information about the PTSA at Open House and by contacting the school.

School Improvement Council

The School Improvement Council is an organization composed of teachers, parents, administrators and other citizens elected and/or appointed by the Principal. These council members work as a team to assist the administration in determining present and future needs of our schools. 

Selling/Buying

The selling or buying of any goods while on school grounds is prohibited. Snacks and school supplies are available through the School Store sponsored by the PTSA. Snacks and drinks can be purchased after school from the vending machines in the foyer.

Valuables

Students are cautioned to never leave money or other possessions unprotected at any time on the campus. The school does not assume any responsibility for lost articles. Students are asked not to bring large sums of money or valuable jewelry, etc. to school.

BEHAVIOR INFORMATION

Each Greer Middle School student is expected to conduct himself/herself in an honorable way at all times-in school, at home, and in the community by:

ü      respecting the rights, opinions, and property of all other persons.

ü      displaying good manners with every individual in school.

ü      treating others as one would like to be treated.

ü      maintaining a respectful attitude toward all people.

 

 

 

Code of Conduct

Education is too important to be the sole responsibility of the schools.  The success of school discipline depends on a collaborative effort among home, school, and community.  By working together we can achieve the goals we all want – safe, orderly schools and a quality education for your child.

Listed below are sections of the Greenville County School District Code of Conduct which has been approved by the board of trustees.  The entire code of conduct is located on the school district web site.

Dress Code

The primary objective of the School District of Greenville County is to provide a World-Class instructional program and learning opportunity for every student. The personal appearance of every student is an important component of establishing a safe environment for optimal learning and respect for one another. Students are expected to dress in an appropriate manner while on school district property or when representing the school. Personal appearance shall be such that it does not disrupt student work or school order, become distractive to other students or violate health and safety guidelines.

1.Student dress and grooming will be neat and  clean.

2.Shoes or sandals must be worn. Flip-flops (shower-type shoes) and thong type shoes are not permitted.

3. Shirts/blouses should be tucked in unless designed to be worn outside the pants/skirts.  At no time should the student’s midriff be visible while standing, sitting, or participating in normal school activities, e.g., raising hand.

4.  Clothing that inappropriately exposes body parts is not permitted, including: low-cut shirts, tank tops, spaghetti strap tops, halter-tops, and vests or see-through or mesh garments worn without shirts.  Bra straps and bra sides must not be visible.

5.  Students shall not dress in such a way that partially or totally exposes underclothing.

6.  Hats, sunglasses, hair curlers, skullies, or do-rags may not be worn.

7. No clothing or jewelry will be permitted that displays profanity, suggestive phrases, alcohol, tobacco, drug advertisements or other inappropriate phrases or symbols.

8. Shorts may be worn; however, they must be properly fitted and in good taste and may not be shorter than mid-thigh. Biker shorts or athletic shorts of any kind are not permitted.

9. Skirts should fit and be in good taste and must not be shorter than mid-thigh.

10.Trousers/slacks/shorts must be worn at waist level. Because of safety reasons, excessively baggy trousers and clothing are not permitted.  Clothing may not drag the floor.

11. Hair of a non-human color is not permitted.

12.Extraneous articles hanging from clothing, such as chains or other articles are considered inappropriate, and will not be permitted.

13. Facial jewelry is permitted only on the ears.

The administration reserves the right to make a final decision on a student's dress. If a student's attire does not conform to the general standards cited above, is a health hazard, or is distracting of the educational process, the students will be asked to call and secure appropriate clothing. Students having chronic problems with the dress code will face disciplinary consequences.

Freedom of Speech

Students are permitted to express themselves, as long as the expression does not materially and substantially disrupt the operation of the school, is not vulgar, obscene, or profane, and otherwise complies with the law, board policy, district regulations, and school rules.  School property, such as intercom and public address systems, and school events, such as assemblies and athletic events, shall not be used for personal expression.

Freedom of Expression

Obscene, vulgar, and profane expressions of any kind and any expression that advertises or promotes the use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco are prohibited. No form of expression shall interfere with the rights of others to express themselves or with the conduct of the school, classroom and transportation. Inappropriate display of affection is prohibited. This includes kissing, holding hands, etc. Violations will result in a parent conference and other appropriate action.

Gambling

Gambling is a violation of SOUTH CAROLINA'S STATE LAW. Gambling and card playing is prohibited at school. Dice, cards, or activities such as flipping quarters, or any other implements used in any form of gambling will be confiscated and disciplinary action will be taken.

Tobacco

According to state law, the use of tobacco in any form is not permitted on the school grounds. Cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, matches or lighters are not permitted at Greer Middle. Teachers will confiscate any of these items if seen and report the incident to an administrator. Any tobacco taken from students will not be returned. Tobacco violations will result in disciplinary action.

               

Trespass and Disturbing School

It is unlawful for any person to willfully or unnecessarily interfere with or to disturb in any way or in any place the students or teachers of any school in this state, to loiter about the school premises or to act in an obnoxious manner, or for any person to enter any school premises except on business without the permission of the principal. 

Suspension/Expulsion

SUSPENSION IS THE TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF A STUDENT FROM SCHOOL OR CLASS to correct unacceptable behavior.  No student may be suspended in excess of ten days for any one offense unless expulsion is recommended.  No student may be suspended for more than thirty days in any one school year unless expulsion Is recommended.  No student may be suspended during the last ten days of a school year if the suspension will make the student ineligible to receive credit for the school year without the approval of the School Board unless the presence of the student constitutes an actual threat to a class or school or a hearing is granted within twenty-four hours of the suspension.

In order to suspend a student, the appropriate administrator shall inform the student of the specific charge against him and notify him of the evidence in support of this charge.  The student must be given an opportunity to refute the charge. If the student challenges the charge and the administrator feels that further investigation is warranted, he should make such investigation.  If the administrator determines the student has committed an offense for which suspension is appropriate, the administrator shall suspend the student from school and notify the student’s parents or legal guardian in writing of the reason for the suspension and its length and of a time and place when the administrator will be available for a conference.  The conference shall be set within two school days of the start of the suspension.

Requests for review of suspensions may be made to the principal, then to the superintendent or designee, and then to the Board. Students who are suspended are not to come on campus without the permission of an administrator.

Expulsion

Disruptive or disorderly student conduct may result in removal from school.In accordance with its discipline code set forth in Policy JD, the Board authorizes the administration to initiate expulsion proceedings against any student.  In most cases expulsion means the removal of a student from school and the cessation of educational services for the remainder of the school year.  Unless the Board or its authorized hearing panel makes a specific exception, expulsion shall also prohibit a student from coming onto school property, entering school buses, or attending any school event except for prearranged conferences with an administrator. For a full description of rights and responsibilities related to expulsion, please consult the district website at www.greenville.k12.sc.us.
