STUDENT AND PARENT HANDBOOKS/POLICIES

AGREEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING

Your student has been made aware of a variety of policies and procedures within the Howard Junior High and High School as well as requirements authorized by the State of South Dakota and the South Dakota High School Activities Association. These handbooks and reviews are our first efforts as a school community to guide students toward establishing positive social and academic behaviors, making good decisions, and treating all members of our community with respect. It is very important for both students and parents to be aware of the responsibilities, rights and code of conduct which we must all recognize to encourage a safe and orderly environment conducive to learning. In developing that awareness, many potentially frustrating situations can be avoided. Please keep in mind that not all situations and scenarios can be covered within handbooks such as these. In matters which are not specifically stated, school officials will do their best to resolve issues and support all students with fairness and dignity.

Upon enrollment, all students are governed by the policies of the school district. These trainings are a courtesy to your student. It is a parent’s and student’s responsibility to be aware of the rules, regulations and policies of the district. Your signature below indicates that you have read and reviewed the information contained within the listed student handbooks and/or school policies, and that you will do your best to be a productive member of our school community. Failure to complete this form does not make you exempt from district rules, policies and regulations. The following handbooks and policies are posted on our website at www.howard.k12.sd.us.
