ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY
Wichita East High School has established a policy on academic honesty that reflects the values of the District’s mission statement, and the belief that students should be held accountable for their actions. The faculty and staff of East High assume that students are honest until their actions demonstrate intent to deceive or misrepresent themselves or others. Violations of classroom standards include, but are not limited to:
1. Cheating on formal examinations or classroom assignments.
2. Plagiarism, i.e.: purposely attributing the work of another to oneself.
3. Misrepresentation of the type, amount, or person completing class work or projects where grades for credit are given, or intentionally misleading faculty or staff in their efforts to reach correct conclusions.
4. Falsification, forgery, or alteration of any document or data base pertaining to academic, attendance, or other school records.
Students who violate standards of honesty are subject to disciplinary action deemed appropriate for the infraction by classroom instructors and/or administration.
ATHLETICS
Competition: Activities on the interscholastic level are a part of the total educational program at Wichita High School East. East High is a member of the Greater Wichita Athletic League (GWAL) and a member of the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA).
Eligibility: To participate in KSHSAA sponsored activities a student must have passed 5 classes of unit weight the previous semester and must currently be enrolled in and attending 5 classes of unit weight. A student will become ineligible if their class schedule drops below 5 classes. A student must also be in good standing and meet the requirements of the transfer rule (if applicable).

ATTENDANCE
973-7207
If a student is absent from school, a parent is asked to call the attendance Clerk (973-7207) as soon as possible on the day of the absence. BOE Policy 1460: Regular school attendance is required of all pupils enrolled in elementary and secondary schools under Kansas compulsory attendance statutes (KSA 721113). Parents must assume primary responsibility for assuring that pupils who have reached the age of 7 years and under the age of 18 years comply with this requirement unless exempted by statute. After a student has 96 hours of medical/illness absences, Board Policy requires a doctor’s note in order to be excused.
East High School Policy: There is a direct correlation between regular attendance and academic achievement. It is expected that each student will attend all classes every day. Doctor and dental appointments, job interviews, etc., should be scheduled outside the school day. In accordance with Board Policy 1460, the parent must notify the attendance Clerk (973-7207) either by telephone, letter, or in person when a pupil is absent. Notification should be made prior to the absence and must be made no later than 72 hours after the date of the absence. Failure to notify the school will result in the absence being recorded as unexcused. Request to be absent forms can be picked up at respective administrator’s office or from the attendance clerk.
All East High School administration and staff have taken the initiative to improve the attendance of all students. The attendance plan has several levels- automated calls, teachers’ personal calls, direct contact with students, and/or letters from respective administrators.
Missed Assignments: It is the responsibility of the student to complete assignments which are missed when the student is absent from a class. The teacher shall make reasonable efforts to encourage and assist the student in the completion of missed assignments.
BEHAVIOR
Students are expected to behave in a manner that is appropriate for high school age individuals and complies with all BOE policies. These behaviors
STUDENT 4
would include attending classes, working on all tasks assigned by teachers, and complying with all reasonable requests made by school staff members. The staff's intention is to serve all the students. It is the staff's preference to focus on the business of education and avoid being disciplinarians. We ask that all students assist us in this endeavor. The right to attend a Wichita Public School carries with it the obligation to maintain acceptable behavior.
The staff does take a very aggressive posture in maintaining the safety of all students. We continue to have this as one of our main goals for the coming school year. We will not tolerate any person or persons threatening or intimidating students or staff.
Building hours for students 7:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. All students must be off campus by 3:30 p.m. unless they are participants in supervised East High extra- curricular activities.
Students attending evening activities (games, dances, etc) should be picked up no later than 30 minutes after the activity has ended. Any student not picked up by this time will not be allowed to attend future activities that season.
"BIG DO"
Plan to join us on September 15, 2021 for our annual open house. You will have the opportunity to meet teachers, listen to music, purchase food to support our many clubs and activities, and relax on the front lawn of East High School.

The following guidelines are provided to assist both students and parents in their consideration of these courses:
AP curricula are written two grade levels above traditional curricula.
AP classrooms are fast-paced and challenging environments, with most lesson preparation done at home.
Students taking these courses should be self-motivated learners willing to invest time and energy into their activities and assignments.
Students should be independent learners who have demonstrated prior success in the classroom.
AP Enrollment Considerations and Commitments
Enrollment in Advance Placement Course(s) is for the full school year.

The schedule change procedure is designed to assure that students will start all their classes on the first day of the semester, increasing their chances for success. (Course selection during enrollment is extremely important.)
Schedule change requests may occur for the following reasons:
1. Schedule is missing class periods.
2. Duplication of course.
3. Requesting a Pass Card – SENIORS ONLY.
4. Replace a study hall with an actual class.
5. Missing a required class for graduation.
Schedule change requests are NOT made for the
following reasons:
1. Request withdrawal from Advanced Placement
Course(s).
2. Preference for a different teacher, period or
semester.
3. Preference to be with a family member or
friend.
4. Change of mind about taking a course.
5. Student or Parent request.
Per BOE Policy 1227, schedule change requests are to be discouraged except for valid educational reasons.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT/HARASSMENT
BOE Policy 1116: USD 259 will not tolerate sexual harassment of a pupil by another pupil, employee, or others. Violation of this policy shall result in disciplinary action against any pupil or employee involved, including possible expulsion of the pupil and termination of the employee. Others who violate this policy shall be reported to local law enforcement authorities for appropriate action and may be prohibited from being on school property and/or attending school activities. Administrators who fail to follow the policy or fail to investigate complaints shall also be disciplined. Sexual Harassment is:
Unwanted and unwelcome sexual behavior that interferes with your right to get an education or to participate in school activities.
Words or conduct of a sexual nature that offend, stigmatize, demean, frighten or threaten you because of your sex.
Uncomfortable, embarrassing or threatening.
A situation that happens once or many times.
Harassment is:
Verbal or physical behavior that puts another person down or shows hostility towards another person or group of persons based on their race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age or disability.
Creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive school environment.
STUDENT 11
Behavior that unreasonably interferes with an individual’s school performance or educational opportunities.
SIGNAGE (POSTERS)
All signs/ posters must be approved with a signature and date in the lower right-hand corner by a sponsor and/or administrator. Signage may be removed one month from the date posted. Signage is only allowed to be posted on all blue strips and windows except for the windows in the second floor alumni hall.
STUDENT ADVOCACY
One of the major high school reform initiatives in USD259 is student advocacy. At East High, advocacy time is called Ace Time and is scheduled every Wednesday. Students are assigned to a teacher who will monitor academic progress, review transcripts, provide activities to increase student awareness, promote student involvement, and encourage students to challenge themselves. Ace Time also allows students to receive college and career information and review assessment information.
TARDY POLICY
Late arrivals create unnecessary interruptions to organized class activities that have already begun. It is important that classes are free from interruption and that students be available for organized class activities as soon as the bell rings. A tardy will be defined as any student not in the classroom when the bell rings. All students will be assigned a consequence for each tardy.
TEXTBOOKS
Textbooks and other instructional materials are the property of USD 259, Wichita Public Schools. They are provided for the use of students who are enrolled in district schools and centers with the expectation they will be returned in the condition they were issued less reasonable wear and tear. Students who lose or damage instructional materials will be charged the replacement cost of the lost or damaged item(s).
Each student shall return all textbooks issued to the student at the time they withdraw from the school, at the end of the first semester for all classes that do not continue, or at the end of the school year. Students shall write their names inside in the appropriate place and properly use and care for the textbooks. Each, student or their parent or legal guardian shall be responsible for textbooks not returned or damaged by the students. Any student failing to return textbooks or who fails to pay for lost or damaged items may as a result have holds placed on transcripts and diplomas, be excluded from participation in graduation ceremonies, extracurricular activities, sports and special programs/events. All fines must be paid by no later than the last instructional day of the school year. All fines not paid at the end of the school year may be turned over to a collection agency.
The costs of books and materials are available in the district’s Textbook Manager System.
VENDING MACHINES
Vending machines are to be used at your own risk. None of the East High offices give change or offer refunds. NO EXCEPTIONS. All concerns can be directed to Wichita Vending at 524-2254.
VISITORS
All visitors to East High must enter through the Main Entrance (door #4) located on the south side of the school near the gym. Visitors will be checked in through the Hall Pass system and receive a visitors badge which must be worn at all times.

National Chicken Noodle Soup Day
Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup was to be
called “Noodle soup with Chicken.” In 1934,
when radios were the source of entertain-
ment, an announcer read his script wrong and
said “chicken noodle soup.” The name stuck and
the company official changed the name.

Section 504 Parent Rights The following is a description of the rights granted by federal law to students with disabilities. The intent of the law
is to keep you fully informed concerning decisions about your child and to inform you of your rights if you disagree
with any of these decisions. Please keep this explanation for future reference.
You have the right to:
1. Have your child take part in and receive benefits from public education programs without discrimination because
of his/her disabling condition;
2. Have the school district advise you of your rights under federal law;
3. Receive notice with respect to identification, evaluations or placement of your child;
4. Have your child receive a free appropriate public education. This includes the right to be educated with non-
disabled students to the maximum extent appropriate. It also includes the right to have the school district make
reasonable accommodations to allow your child an equal opportunity to participate in school and school-related
activities.
5. Have your child educated in facilities and receive services comparable to those provided non-disabled students;
6. Have your child receive special education and related services if she/he is found to be eligible under the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (I.D.E.A.);
7. Have evaluations, educational, and placement decisions made based upon a variety of information sources, and by
persons who know the student, the evaluation data, and placement options;
8. Have your child be given an equal opportunity to participate in non-academic and extracurricular activities
offered by the district;
9. Examine all relevant records relating to decisions regarding your child's identification, evaluations educational
program, and placement;
10. Obtain copies of educational records at a reasonable cost unless the fee would effectively deny you access to the
records;
11. Receive a response from the school district to reasonable requests for explanation and interpretation of your
child's records;
12. Request amendment of your child's educational records if there is reasonable cause to believe that they are
inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of the privacy rights of your child. If the school district refuses this
request for the amendment, it shall notify you within a reasonable time, and advise you of the right to a hearing;
13. Request an impartial due process hearing through the district's grievance procedure related to decisions or
actions regarding your child's identification, evaluations, educational program or placement. You and the student
may take part in the hearing and have an attorney represent you. Hearing requests must be made to the district
Section 504 Coordinator listed below.
14. Request an appeal of the final decision of the impartial hearing officer to a court of competent jurisdiction.
