“Champions of Learning”, the motto for our district adopted in the 1980’s, is the theme for our instructional programs. It reinforces the district’s commitment to excellence with the highest priorities on learning and achievement.

Students are recognized for outstanding academic performance in all schools of the district. Special awards are given to those students achieving distinguished honor roll and exemplary honor roll status as well as individual curricular area achievement. Special academic award assemblies are held in each school of the district.

The Hatboro-Horsham instructional program has as its main focus the teaching of fundamental skills

and standards. All programs are designed to accommodate the many interests, abilities and needs of students. The coordinated K-12 program places great emphasis, beginning in the primary grades, on reading, writing, and mathematics. This emphasis is expanded in each of the grades through high school so that students experience diverse, meaningful learning opportunities in preparation for citizenship, the work force, and higher education.

The rigor of the educational program is reflected by the standards-based and exploratory learning in grades K-8 and the high school’s comprehensive program that includes advanced placement college level courses. Our objective is to empower all students to pursue their educational and career goals by providing a supportive, engaging, and challenging learning environment.

vision mission statementHatboro-Horsham School District is comprised of a cohesive, supportive group of dedicated staff, students, parents, and community members united in our commitment to pursue excellence in education. We intend to realize our highest potential as an educational community by setting clear, measurable goals, employing best practices, engaging in effective communication, and utilizing resources wisely. We will use our successes as a catalyst for future growth, change, and improvement.

Programs for Gifted StudentsStudents are identified individually and receive programs based on guidelines and regulations embodied in state law under Chapter 16. Those school age students who possess superior intelligence scores and/or meet multiple criteria indicating gifted ability (which includes consideration of intelligence measures) may receive services if the student requires specially designed instruction that is not available in the general curriculum. If we suspect your child is qualified for gifted services, you will be notified of screening and evaluation procedures. Parental requests for screening and evaluation should be made to your child’s school counselor.

Special EducationSpecial education services are provided to identify exceptional students according to Federal and State special education regulations. Learning support, emotional support, life skills support, autistic support, speech and language programs are operated by the school district. Programs and other services also are provided by the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit. The determination

Section 504 ⁄ Chapter 15 Service AgreementsIn compliance with State and Federal Law, the Hatboro-Horsham School District will provide to each protected handicapped student, without discrimination or cost to the student or family, those related aids, services or accommodations which are needed to provide access for a student to participate in and obtain the benefits of the school program. In order to qualify as a protected handicapped student, the child must be of school age with a physical or mental disability which substantially limits or prohibits participation in or access to an aspect of the school program. These services for protected handicapped students are distinct from those applicable to all exceptional students enrolled (or seeking enrollment) in special education programs.

Student Resource TeamsEach school has a Student Resource Team consisting of teachers, the school principal, a guidance counselor and a school psychologist. Children who are experiencing difficulties in school may be referred

to the team. Parents are invited to participate in team meetings and may refer their child to the team for consideration. The function of the team is to develop strategies and procedures to utilize within the classroom. Attempts are made to meet the needs of the student within the regular education program before referring for evaluation for special education eligibility.

ScreeningAll students are screened for visual and ⁄ or hearing difficulties. Speech and language screenings are done routinely and upon teacher or parent referral.

Multidisciplinary EvaluationsDuring the Student Resource Team process, a multidisciplinary evaluation (MDE) may be conducted. A MDE might include academic information, classroom functioning information, and a cognitive evaluation. Parents must give permission for the MDE to occur and may request a MDE by conferring with the school principal. Parents are an integral part of the multidisciplinary team. A MDE may be requested at any time and will be completed as required by state regulations. All findings of a MDE are confidential and are maintained by the school as per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. If the MDE shows that the student has a disability and requires specially designed instruction, a recommendation is made for special programming.

The school district LIEP program meets the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and aligns with Pennsylvania English Language Development Standards (PA ELDS). Additional information about the School District of Hatboro-Horsham’s ELD program, including eligibility and opting out requirements, can be found on our website or by contacting Dr. Susan Vaites, Director of Curriculum, at 215-420-5012.

Eastern Center for Arts and Technology is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The campus is located in Willow Grove and the school is owned by nine school districts in Eastern Montgomery County.

The programs provided at EASTERN are considered part of the high school program and count as elective credit toward graduation. These programs give students the opportunity to reinforce their career path after high school, get a head start on collegiate studies in that field and get ready for employment. Most of the career programs offer advanced placement college credit or dual enrollment opportunities for students continuing their education after high school in similar majors. Normally students enroll in the vocational-technical program in grades 11 and 12. Students enrolled in the EASTERN afternoon program attend their home school for one-half day and EASTERN for the remaining half day.

With fourteen career offerings available, EASTERN provides opportunities for academically-talented students who wish to expand and enrich their education and pursue their career goals in programs such as Culinary Arts, Networking and Cybersecurity, Commercial Art, Allied Health, Welding and Veterinary Science, to name a few. Career and technical programs offer multiple pathways, meaning students can gain employment right out of high school, enter into a paid apprenticeship, or enroll in college depending on their career goals. More information about EASTERN can be found at www.eastech.org.

The high school uses the NAVIANCE platform as a College and Career Readiness tool for students. NAVIANCE enables students to find college and career pathways that are right for them. They start by setting personalized goals, learn about their skills and interests, and explore career options based on those interests. They can then search for colleges, apply for scholarships and track admission status. NAVIANCE helps students plan a course of action to reach their goals, find resources to prepare academically, and discover their own path. For additional information, please contact the High School Guidance Office at 215-420-5522.

The Keystone Exams Continue to be one component of Pennsylvania’s system of high school graduation requirements. These end-of-year course assessments are designed to assess proficiency in three subjects: Algebra I, Biology, and English Literature. They are administered to students upon completion of the course that addresses each content area.

Under the plan approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and Act 158 of 2018, beginning with the Class of 2022, demonstrating proficiency or earning a satisfactory composite score on the three Keystone exams (Algebra I, Biology and English Literature) are two possible pathways for fulfilling the established state graduation requirements. The alternative pathways that do not incorporate Keystone exam performance are described in the Hatboro-Horsham High School Student/Parent Handbook.

At Keith Valley Middle School and Hatboro-Horsham High School, we will continue to make decisions that align with the State mandates without negatively impacting the educational experiences of our students. The testing window for the Keystone Exams will take place in December 2019 (High School only), January 2020 (High School only), and May 2020 (High School and Keith Valley).

Power School is Hatboro-Horsham School District’s student information system. There is a Power School Parent Access feature available for families of students in grades kindergarten through twelve.

Newly enrolled students will receive parent ⁄ guardian login information during their first week of school. This electronic tool allows families and students to monitor academic performance in real time through access to all grades and assignments as soon as they are posted. The Power School Parent Access feature also provides an opportunity for families to register for weekly reports which are automatically distributed via email.

The Hatboro-Horsham School District uses a Central Registration process for all new students. The registration information can be found on the school website at www.hatboro-horsham.org.

We ask that parents refrain from calling individual schools for reports so that building lines can remain open.

Consistent school attendance is vital to success in school. It is not only students who benefit from regular attendance. Teachers, parents, and the wider community all benefit when students are attending school and achieving. These benefits include greater student safety, community well-being, and a sense of connectedness for all. The Hatboro-Horsham School District requires that pupils enrolled in the schools of this district attend school regularly in accordance with the compulsory school laws of Pennsylvania. The attendance policy can be reviewed on the district website – Policy number 204 Attendance.

Absence Line – Parent(s) ⁄ guardian(s) are expected to report a student’s illness by calling their child’s school’s Absence Line on the day of the absence, unless the absence is pre-arranged. This is an important part of the district’s safety and security procedures. After calling in an absence, written or emailed notes providing the reason for the absence must be submitted within 3 days.

All of the schools and buildings within the Hatboro-Horsham School District are important. These buildings house our most precious commodity, the children of Hatboro and Horsham. In order to maintain the level of safety that the School District has enjoyed, we recognize the importance of controlling the flow of visitors in all of our buildings and document the specific location visited.

Each building has signs posted at the entrance noting that all visitors, including School District employees from other buildings,

District. In the formation of the Safe Schools Committee, the goal set forth was to involve all internal and external clients in the decision making process. Membership of this committee consists of Hatboro-Horsham School District faculty, administrators, nurses, supervisors of transportation, maintenance, and food service, as well as representatives from the Hatboro-Horsham Community and its First Responders. The task of this committee is to identify safety topics, discuss and make recommendations for change.

A comprehensive All Hazard Emergency Response plan has been developed, which meets all Federal, State, Township and Borough Emergency Management standards. This plan also follows the National Incident Management Structure as recommended by School Board Resolution. The Plan has been designed to be a living document that can adapt to the individual needs of any of our schools. Each school has now formed an Emergency Management Team that meets regularly to discuss safety issues. These initiatives allow the students to succeed academically and enjoy a safe environment. The School District has also developed a Bullying-Cyber Bullying Policy that is posted in each classroom and on our web-page.

In a continuing effort to make our school district as safe as possible, the Hatboro-Horsham School District and the Horsham Township Police Department partnered in order to establish and implement a School Resource Officer (SRO) program at the Hatboro-Horsham High School (HHHS). The SRO is an important element in our school district’s overall safety initiative.

The HHSD SRO is an experienced, fully trained, uniformed Horsham Township Police Officer who is based at our high school every day that school is in session. The SRO’s daily presence and her constant visibility in and around HHHS helps create a safe environment for all of our students and staff. Having the SRO in HHHS at all times allows for a quick response to any police-related emergency that may occur.

The SRO, in addition to safety-related responsibilities, has other equally important roles. Our SRO is tasked with creating positive relationships with our students, establishing herself as a trusted adult who students can confide in, and serving as a mentor and a role model to students.

The addition of the SRO is an important component to the Hatboro-Horsham School District’s Comprehensive Safety Plan.

The School District of Hatboro-Horsham will protect the students under its jurisdiction by requiring compliance with all laws and by requiring aid, treatment, rehabilitation and necessary removal of those who are not compliant.

The complete drug policy is available from any school administrator and on the District website.

There is a NO SMOKING policy including e-cigarettes, vapor pens, and vaporizers for the school district which includes all buildings, grounds and school buses, posted by the Fire Marshal as No Smoking areas. Any individual who violates this policy will be subject to a fine by the local magistrate.

The School District recognizes the importance of a safe school environment relative to the educational process. Possession of weapons in the school setting is a threat to the safety of students and staff and is prohibited by law. Weapons under the control of law enforcement personnel are permitted. The complete District Policy for Weapons may be accessed on the District Website – Weapons 218.1.

The term weapon shall include but not be limited to any knife, cutting instrument, cutting tool, nunchaku, firearm, starter gun, shotgun, rifle, replica of a weapon, incendiary device or explosive, and/or any other tool, instrument or implement capable of inflicting serious bodily injury.

The student is in possession of a weapon when the weapon is found on the person of the student; in the student’s locker; under the student’s control while on school property, on property being used by the school, at any school function or activity, at any school event held away from the school, or while the student is coming to or from school.

Based on the concern for the health, safety and welfare of our high school students, Hatboro-Horsham High School administrators and school district personnel support the use of breathalyzers during school-sponsored events (on or off school grounds) and during the school day, if needed. This measure will hopefully serve as a deterrent to the use of alcohol by underage drinkers.

This communication serves as notification that a breathalyzer may be used and students may be required to submit to a breathalyzer test. Students will be notified that they will be denied entry and/or be removed from the event or activity (and may face additional disciplinary action) in the event that they are found to have consumed and/or possessed alcohol at, or before a school-sponsored event.

A breathalyzer may be administered any time a student’s actions, appearance or physical condition gives reasonable suspicion. Students deemed to be under the influence of alcohol while on school property will have a breathalyzer administered by the local police department.

The Hatboro-Horsham School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, ancestry, national origin, genetic information or disability⁄ handicap in its programs, activities and employment and contracting practices.

In order to promote a safe school environment, the Hatboro-Horsham School District has installed electronic surveillance systems to review activity on school property and in school vehicles as one measure of prevention and protection. The use of video recordings obtained by surveillance equipment is subject to District policies addressing the confidentiality of student and staff records. Information obtained from electronic surveillance systems may be used by the administration to assist in an investigation to determine whether a student has committed an unlawful or an unsafe act. Violations of the District’s Code of Conduct will result in appropriate disciplinary consequences. Any activity detected through the use of surveillance cameras that might constitute a violation of the law will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

The School District of Hatboro-Horsham uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for managing insects, rodents and weeds. Our goal is to protect every student from pesticide exposure by using an IPM approach to pest management. Our IPM approach focuses on making the school building and grounds an unfavorable habitat for these pests by removing food and water sources and eliminating their hiding and breeding places. We accomplish this through routine cleaning and maintenance. We routinely monitor the school building and grounds to detect any pests that are present. The pest monitoring team consists of our building maintenance, office, and teaching staff and includes our students. Pest sightings are reported to our IPM coordinator who evaluates the “pest problem” and determines the appropriate pest management techniques to address the problem. The techniques can include increased sanitation, modifying storage practices, sealing entry points, physically removing the pest, etc.

From time to time, it may be necessary to use chemicals to manage a pest problem. Chemicals will only be used when necessary, and will not be routinely applied. Notices will be posted prior to application and for two days following the application.

Incidental personal use of IT systems is permitted for users so long as such use does not interfere with job duties, educational responsibilities, and performance of system operations. Personal use must comply with Policy 815 and all other applicable School District policies and regulations.

Students and employees must review Policy 815 and sign an ac-knowledgement form to be permitted access to the district sys-tems. Additionally Hatboro-Horsham School District employees follow all federal, state, and district regulations for the protec-tion of student data.

The Hatboro-Horsham School District’s Acceptable Use Policy 815 is accessible on the District website.

Hatboro-Horsham’s 1:1 Technology Program aims to transform the way our students learn, empowering students and teachers through access to the best tools available for learning and creativity. We are building the infrastructure to support deeper learning, with classrooms and practices redesigned to respond to the needs of communities and workplaces in the 21st century. This program aims to develop students who have the mindset to be lifelong learners, global citizens, resilient, purposeful and passionate, divergent and innovative thinkers,and able to demonstrate academic mastery. This year, all students at Keith Valley and the high School will receive a laptop. Additionally, we will continue to expand our 1:1 programs at our elementary schools to include all grade 5 classrooms and many classrooms in grades 2–4.

In 2019–20, to offset the cost of insuring student laptops against damage, all grades 6-12 students will be assessed a flat $30 technology fee that must be paid prior to the device being issued. Families on reduced lunch cost plans will be charged $15 per student, and families eligible for free lunch will have the technology fee waived.

• Before & After School Program- This program operates prior to the start of the school day and following afternoon dismissal. Children are provided an opportunity to engage in arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor play, and homework completion.

It is our mission to provide students with affordable, healthy meals as well as the resources they need to understand and adopt a healthy lifestyle both inside and outside of school. Our vision is to model and practice good nutrition in school so that our students understand the value of making healthy food choices.

As a partner with both the School Nutrition Association, the HHSD Food Service Department promotes high standards of practice, program nutrition integrity, member recognition, program resources, and professional development for its staff.

Each meal is analyzed for nutrient compositions to better meet the dietary guidelines. As every parent knows, calculating the required nutrients and calories is a cumbersome task and expensive. Let us take the guesswork out of meeting your student’s nutritional requirements. Let us use our bulk purchasing and nutrient software to help your family stretch the food dollars without sacrificing quality. Prices for student lunches are: Elementary $2.80, Middle School $3.00, High School $3.10, and prices for student breakfasts are: $1.20 elementary, $1.35 middle school, $1.60 high school. Printable versions of each school’s menus are posted on the District website and families without internet service will receive printed copies.

We are energized by starting another school year and look forward to serving your students and hopefully being a big part of their happy, healthy school memories. Comments or suggestions: 215-420-5973.

Point of Sale Meal SystemThe Hatboro-Horsham School District Food Service Department is equipped with a computerized (POS) Point of Sale cash register system in all schools to collect funds for meals. This system gives parents the ability to prepay breakfast, lunch, milk and snacks in any amount. Pre-paying helps the students avoid losing their money on the way to school, assures where dollars are spent, and speeds meal lines, giving your student more time to enjoy his/her lunch. It also eliminates the need to send money every day.

submitted to the school is kept strictly confidential. Since meal transactions are computerized, there is no discrimination or identification of free or reduced paying students. Therefore, all qualified families are urged to consider this program.

Free and Reduced Price MealsThe Hatboro-Horsham School District participates in the National School Meals Program which provides breakfast and lunch free or at a reduced cost to eligible families. Households have two options for submitting an application for free or reduced cost meals. The preferred method to submit is electronically at www.paschoolmeals.com. Turn-around time on this method of application is the quickest. The other option is electronic submission on the COMPASS (Commonwealth of PA Access to Social Services) website at www.compass.state.pa.us. COMPASS allows Pennsylvanian’s to apply for social service programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Energy Assistance, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), etc., online.

This link also has applications in different languages.

Only one APPLICATION FOR FREE AND REDUCED PRICED SCHOOL MEALS needs to be filled out per family. However, a new application needs to be completed and approved every school year. All students eligible for FREE OR REDUCED PRICE MEALS in the previous school year will be eligible to receive these benefits until mid-October in the new school year. This allows ample time for the parent/guardian to submit a new application and be approved for the new school year. Meals cannot be Free/Reduced retroactively, so it is important to return the yearly applications before the October cutoff date.

Applications can be submitted at any time in the school year in case the family financial situation changes. All information
