STUDENT HANDBOOK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

________________________________________________ Student’s Name

________________________________________________ Grade Level and Homeroom Teacher’s Name

I acknowledge that I have received a Jeffersonville Elementary Handbook that includes information about attendance and the Student Code of Conduct. I understand that the attendance policy is applicable to all students and that all K-5th grade students at Jeffersonville Elementary are subject to the mandatory school attendance laws of the state of Georgia. I understand that the Code of Conduct in this handbook is based on progressive discipline practices, and even though all students are subject to the consequences contained within, all students may not receive the same consequences due to a student’s age and/or existing disabilities, and/or past discipline history. I further understand that all incidents cannot be foreseen and cannot be addressed in the Code of Conduct; therefore, the school principal has the full authority to make discipline decisions regarding all behaviors, actions, and occurrences associated with Jeffersonville Elementary.

I understand that pursuant to the request of the General Assembly, the Student Code of Conduct encourages “parents and guardians to inform their children of the consequences, including potential criminal penalties, of underage sexual conduct and crimes for which a minor can be tried as an adult.”

It is required that the parent and student sign, date, and return this acknowledgement to the child’s school within ten days of your receipt of the handbook. Not signing or not returning this acknowledgement form does not exempt the student or parent/guardian from the policies and procedures contained within.
