The Cazenovia Athletic Association supports and promotes the athletic programs of the Cazenovia Central School District. Annual membership forms are available online at www.cazenoviacsd.com and through FamilyID.

EARLY SCHOOL CLOSING: If it should be necessary to close school before the usual time, it is important for your child to know what to do. This is especially important if both parents work and there is no one to look after your child if there is an early dismissal. Please discuss this possibility with your child. All after-school activities are canceled when school is dismissed early.

NOTIFICATION OF TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS: In accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act, parents are entitled to information regarding the professional qualiﬁcations of their child’s classroom teacher. You may receive information by contacting your principal. The information will include:

PUBLIC NOTICE OF FREE LUNCH PROGRAM: In accordance with the National School Lunch Act governing schools participating in the National Lunch Program, CCSD will provide free lunches for students from qualified families. It is required that such notice be sent out to all families of school children in the District. Application forms for free meals will be mailed to all families with school children in the District. The forms are available at all the school offices and online. Qualified families must apply each year for free meals even if they have participated during the previous school year. Forms should be returned to the school district treasurer as soon as possible. Forms will be made available to students new to the District at the time of registration.

4. A student, absent for ﬁve or more days, will be asked to present a doctor’s note to verify re-admittance and note any restrictions the student might have.

The Dignity Act policy is not intended to deprive and/or restrict any student of his/her right to freedom of expression. Rather, it seeks to maintain, to the extent possible and reasonable, a safe, harassment-free and educationally conducive environment for all students and staff. Furthermore, the District shall ensure that the course of instruction in grades K through 12 includes a component on civility, citizenship and character education in accordance with Education Law. Character education is the deliberate effort to help students understand, care about and act upon core ethical values.

CONSENT FOR USE OF PHOTOGRAPHS/VIDEOS: Throughout the school year, photographs or videotapes might be taken of students for use in districtproduced publications and videos or by the news media. If you do not wish your child to be photographed or videotaped, please indicate this, in writing, to your child’s school.

1. For middle and elementary school students, please call the Health Ofﬁce of your child’s school in the morning if your child is absent.

ATTENDANCE: All school-age children in New York State in proper physical and mental condition are required to attend school.

The Board of Education recognizes that teaching students respect, civility and understanding toward others, as well as the practice and reinforcement of appropriate behavior and values of our society, is an important function of the Cazenovia Central School District. Cazenovia CSD wishes to foster an environment in which students exhibit behavior that promotes positive educational practices, allows students to grow socially and academically, and encourages healthy dialogue in respectful ways. By presenting teachers and staff as positive role models, the District stresses positive communication and discourages disrespectful treatment.

CAZENOVIA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

2. A written excuse from the parent/guardian giving the child’s name, date of absence, and speciﬁc reason for the absence is required the day the child returns to school.

DIGNITY FOR ALL STUDENTS ACT:

Committee on Special Education should contact the principal of the school that their child attends.

STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: Cazenovia Central School District provides programs and services for students who have special needs. Usually these needs are related to learning basic skill areas (e.g. reading, mathematics, writing). Each building has teachers who are trained to help these students and to assist these students’ other teachers. In addition, the District employs specialists (a school psychologist, a speech/language therapist, an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist), who provide services to help students with learning-related differences.

Burton Street Elementary, Cazenovia Middle School and Cazenovia High School each have a designated Dignity Act coordinator. These coordinators have been trained to handle human relations in the areas of race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender (identity or expression) and sex.

5. Any middle or high school student arriving tardy to school as a result of a health appointment must provide a doctor’s note that day to be eligible for extracurricular activities, including athletics.

FERPA: ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS: Notice is hereby given to residents of the Cazenovia Central School District that the school regularly collects information on students and maintains this material in student records. Pursuant to the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), parents of district children and students over 18 years of age have a right to inspect and review any and all official records, files, and data directly related to their children or themselves, including all material that is incorporated into each folder intended for school use or to be available to parties outside the school system; and specifically including but not necessarily limited to: identifying data, academic work completed, level of achievement, attendance data, scores on standardized tests, health data, family background information, teacher or counselor ratings and observations, and verified reports of serious or recurring behavior patterns.

FIRE INSPECTION REPORT POLICY:

HEALTH INFORMATION PRIVACY: Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), some districts or schools may be a “covered entity.” If a district or school (or person within that school, i.e. the school nurse) is included in the “covered entity” category, then the district must provide notice of its privacy practices with regard to protected health information.

BMI REPORTING POLICY: New York requires schools to track each student’s Body Mass Index (BMI) and weight status category as part of school health examinations. Every year, the NYS Department of Health will survey some schools for the number of pupils in each of six possible weight status categories. If Cazenovia is surveyed by the state, the district will share summary group data only, not individual names or information. Parents who wish to exclude their child’s data from such group calculations must contact the child’s school nurse.

Inquiries concerning this policy of equal opportunity and questions on grievance procedures should be referred to Christopher DiFulvio, Superintendent of Schools, Cazenovia Central School District, 31 Emory Ave, Cazenovia, NY 13035, (315) 655-1317.

CAZENOVIA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT PARENT/GUARDIAN GUIDE 2022-2023

New York codes, rules and regulations require that the engine of a bus or truck powered by diesel fuel shall not idle for more than five consecutive minutes when the bus or truck is not in motion except when a bus or truck is forced to maintain motionless because of the traffic conditions over which the operator thereof has no control or when state regulations require the maintenance of a specific temperature for passenger comfort.

HOMELESS STUDENTS POLICY: As required by No Child Left Behind, all districts have responsibilities to homeless students in their district. In order to serve these students, each district must appoint a liaison for homeless children that are currently residing within a district. The liaison must first identify these students and, to aid in doing so, post notifications regarding educational services and contact information at places where the parents of homeless students will see it. These locations can include, but are not limited to, homeless shelters, medical clinics, post offices and local social service offices. Mr. Patrick Ruddy, Director of Pupil Personnel Services, is the liaison for Cazenovia Central School District.

RECRUITERS: As part of the No Child Left Behind Act, military recruiters and institutions of higher learning have access to secondary students’ directory and public relations information. Directory and public relations information means name, address, telephone number, date and participation in activities recognized as official student organizations, and other similar information already a matter of public knowledge in the school community. A high school student or parent may ask that the district not release such information without prior written parental consent. Student records other than directory and public relations information, and any material contained therein that is personally identifiable, are confidential and may not be released or made available to persons other than parents or students without prior written consent of such parents or student. There are exceptions to this rule such as other school employees and officials, and certain state and federal officials who have a legitimate educational need for access to such records in the course of their employment. This directory information is exempt from the provisions of the Privacy Act and may be made public without written consent of parent or student. This includes publication on the District website. However, students 18 and over or the parents or guardians of students of any age can request that the school not make directory information available. Those requests will be honored. Please send a letter to Christopher DiFulvio, Superintendent of Schools for Cazenovia Central School District, 31 Emory Ave., Cazenovia, N.Y. 13035.

RELEASE OF STUDENT INFORMATION TO MILITARY

STUDENT PRIVACY POLICY: The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) to the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents certain rights regarding district surveys, collection and use of information for marketing purposes, and certain physical exams.

BURTON STREET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (cont.)

To reduce congestion in the designated areas at arrival and dismissal times, we strongly encourage parents to have their children ride the bus.

• Do not let your child enter or exit the vehicle in traffic

DROPPING OFF STUDENTS AT ARRIVAL TIME: Parents/guardians may drop students off in the back parking lot of the school (off of Clark Street). Students will be permitted into the building at 7:58 a.m. Parents/guardians will follow a single lane trafﬁc pattern and have their child exit the vehicle onto the sidewalk. Vehicles will depart single ﬁle following the car in front. For student safety, do not pass the vehicle in front of you. Vehicles must stay in the single lane.

PICKING UP STUDENTS AT DISMISSAL TIME:

LATE ENTRY/EARLY DEPARTURE PROCEDURES:

Burton Street Elementary School operates on a cycle that allows for a repeat of special activities every six days. These activities include physical education, art, music and library. Physical education classes meet four times every six days; music meets twice; art and library meet once each cycle. Teachers will share information about the classroom special schedule in on-going home/school communication. Report cards for kindergarten through fourth grades are issued at regular, 10-week intervals throughout the school year.

• When dropping off, please have students exit on the sidewalk side

• Park in designated parking areas

Students will be welcomed into the building at 7:58am, school starts promptly at 8:10am. Students who arrive late will need to be signed in by a parent/guardian with main ofﬁce staff upon arrival. Any student who arrives after 8:10 is considered tardy. Should you need to pick your child up from school early, please send in a written note to your child’s teacher. When picking up your child, please enter the building and sign your child out with the main ofﬁce staff. After your child is signed out, they will be called down to the vestibule for pick up.

SCHOOL AND CLASSROOM VISITATION: For the safety of our students and staff, doors will be locked at all times. Students will say goodbye to their families in their vehicle or at the outside doors of the school. Parents/guardians are not permitted to walk their child to the classroom. This allows students to transition to school with their peers with minimal interruptions and ensures student and staff safety. Burton Street staff members will be located at the entrance to help and support students should it be needed.

• Follow the traffic ﬂow patterns at the school

• Do not block fire lanes or loading dock

Changes can be made via phone call to the main ofﬁce by 1:00pm. The adult picking up the child will be required to sign out the child.

Parents and guardians are welcome members of the Burton Street community. All visits to school for the purpose of visiting your child’s class must be pre-arranged with the teacher and/ or administrator. Planned events will be communicated with families in a timely manner. All visitations should be pre-arranged and visitors must sign in at the main ofﬁce and obtain a visitor badge.

• Be cautious of other vehicles and particularly the movements of parents and their children entering and exiting the school facilities and grounds

CAZENOVIA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT PARENT/GUARDIAN GUIDE 2022-2023

Students are dismissed from classrooms at 2:28pm. Parents/guardian pick up at the end of the day takes place in the back parking lot (off of Clark Street). Parents/guardians will be issued a specific number and rear view mirror tag that corresponds to the child/children they are picking up.

Adults are not permitted to park and enter the building at dismissal time. Once the child is in the vehicle and safely buckled, parents/guardians are required to leave the designated area following the car in front of them, single file. Students who are not picked up by 2:45pm will be escorted to the main office to wait for an adult pick up. Should an adult be picking up your child that does not normally do so, parents/guardians are required to send a note in with their child that morning to notify the school of who will be picking up the student.

• Obey the speed zone

WALKERS: Independent walkers will be dismissed as a cohort and will leave school grounds separate from bus departure.

TRAFFIC SAFETY: Trafﬁc congestion at the school continues to be a safety concern. Parents/ guardians are strongly encouraged to have their child learn to use the school bus, and use the bus to go to and from school on a regular basis. Should parents choose to drop off or pick up their child, please do so safely:

Parents/guardians are not permitted to park and walk their child to their classroom. School staff will be located at the entrance to help and support students should it be needed.

SERVICES: Individual counseling, group counseling, classroom presentations, orientation programs, parent conferences, and outside referrals are some of the services provided by the middle school.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

It is the expectation at Cazenovia High School that all students will graduate with a Regents or Regents Advanced Designation diploma. All students must pass all five required Regents Exams with a score In addition, students with IEPs, who do not score between 55 and 64 percent, have a continuation of the “Safety Net” as established by the NYS Board of Regents. If a student with an IEP does not score between 55 and 64 percent on one or more of the five required Regents Exams, they will be allowed to take a Regents Competency Test. Students who have a 504 Plan, which specifically states that the student is eligible for the “Safety Net,” can obtain a local diploma. In these cases, passing Regents Competency Test(s) gives the student local credit toward graduation. the Program of Studies the school website.

Letter grades are no longer used on interim progress reports, report cards or transcripts. The following system can be used as a reference for letter grades. Some resources might list letter grades. Below are the numerical equivalents: Report Cards Quarterly report card averages shall be calculated using a weight equal to the credit value of the course, excluding P.E. classes, which are not included in the averages. This will also be the basis for calculating quarterly Honor Rolls. End-of-year or course ﬁnal averages shall also carry an extra credit value for AP exam courses. A value of 1.06 shall be added to the annual course average for a student who has been enrolled in and completes an AP course, including taking the AP exam. AP weighting takes place after the AP exam. If a student in grades 9-12 enrolled in an AP course does not take the AP exam at the end of the year, then that ﬁnal course grade shall not have an AP extra credit value.

C.C.S.D. requires all students to complete 40 hours of community service to graduate. Students may begin accumulating hours July 1st of their 8th grade year. To be eligible for early release/late entry privileges, seniors must have 30 hours of community service completed by the ﬁrst day of school their senior year and 40 hours by the 1st day of the 2nd semester senior year. 100–97 A+ 93–96 A 90–92 A–87–89 B+ 83–86 B 80–82 B–77–79 C+ 73–76 C 70–72 C–65–69 D Below 65 F
