STUDENT SIGN-OUT, SIGN-IN, RETURN TO CLASS

(From pages #12 and #13 of the 2011 – 2012 Capital High School Student Handbook)

The following procedures cover signing out, signing in after an absence or when

tardy, and returning to class after an absence:

Signing-Out

1. The student should have his/her agenda book.

2. The student must bring a note signed by the parent or guardian to the

Attendance Office one day in advance of the sign-out date.

3. The parent or guardian must call the Attendance Office one day in

advance of the sign-out date.

4. All medical or legal appointments must be verified in writing on an

appointment card or official stationery, by a physician, dentist, law

enforcement official, legal agent, or a representative of the office/firm

visited.

NOTE ADDED: Absent compliance with items #2 and #3 above a

parent/guardian must be present in order for a student to be signed out of

school.

NOTE: There should never be an occasion wherein a student leaves the

campus before the scheduled end of his/her school day without signing out

through the Attendance Office. Students who do so will be considered as

having skipped and will be dealt with accordingly. They will be credited

with an unexcused absence for the day as well.

Signing In Following an Absence or Tardy

The student arriving late to school and/or returning to school after three (3) or

more consecutive day’s absence:

1. Must appear at the Attendance Office window and have his/her admit processed

before being allowed to return to class.

2. Shall not be permitted to sign in tardy or late for school, for reasons other than

those authorized under the State Department of Education guidelines covering

excused and unexcused absences.

Student Dancing/Behavior Contract

DATE: _______________________

This contract between ______________________________________ the administration,

(Print Last Name First Here)

faculty, staff and remaining student body of Capital High School is designed to ensure

that I have a pleasant, memorable, and enjoyable experience at the Capital High School

Prom.

Statement of Student Responsibility

I agree to conduct myself according to the following behavioral guidelines at all times

during the occasion:

1. I will follow all Capital High policies, Kanawha County School rules and state

laws.

2. I understand that if I am suspected of being under the influence of

intoxicating beverages I will be required to submit to a portable

‘Breathalyzer’ test conducted by our Prevention Resource Officer

and/or other City of Charleston, Kanawha County Sheriff’s

Department, and West Virginia State Police Personnel who may be on

duty in accordance with Project GPA sponsored by the Kanawha County

Sheriffs’ Department and the Kanawha County Commission.

3. I understand fully that “grinding”, “bumping”, “humping”,

“hunching”, “goosing”, or sexually explicit dancing such as

“freaking” or “dirty dancing” are all prohibited.

Any variation of dancing that approximates the following is

expressly prohibited:

Anyone (male or female) bent over at the waist with the pelvis of

another individual (male or female) pressed against their buttocks

while holding (or not holding onto) the bent-over student’s waist or

hips is prohibited at all times at functions at Capital High School

where dancing is permitted, including the annual Prom.

A demonstration of this behavior or any other serious infraction of Capital High School

policies, Kanawha County School rules and state laws will result in my being suspended

from the Capital High School Prom.

Should I be suspended from the Capital High School Prom, the administration will insist

that I and my dance partner leave Capital High School/Kanawha County Schools

property immediately and my parents will be notified as soon as practically possible.

Breathalyzer

An important condition added to our prom contract was established several years ago.

This condition targets students who demonstrate behavior and conduct that leads us to

believe they may be under the influence of intoxicating beverages requiring that they

submit to a Breathalyzer test.

A portable Breathalyzer unit will be maintained on the

scene of this year‘s prom and will be manned by our Prevention Resource Officer, SGT.

Kevin Smailes. Also, other members of the Charleston Police Department, The Kanawha

County Sheriff’s Department, and the West Virginia State Police will be on hand during

the evening.

Additional City of Charleston police officers will be provided by the Kanawha County

Sheriff‘s Department and the Kanawha County Commission as part of Operation

Graduation Prom Alive (GPA). Project GPA is a joint venture, conceived by Sheriff

Mike Rutherford, coordinating the efforts of several area law enforcement agencies as

well as municipality’s emergency services first responders.

Help Needed!

Valet Parking for the Prom

Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 7:30 PM valet parking for our annual prom begins. Each year

we hold the Capital High School Prom in our own Commons! The prom begins at 8:00

sharp. We feel that we have as beautiful a facility for this event as any in our area.

Having our prom here on our campus affords us the opportunity to provide our students

with a memory they can cherish for a life time. One thing that we have done to make this

event special is to provide valet parking to those arriving by vehicle to attend the Capital

High School Prom. Members of the faculty and staff have been the individuals who have

done the bulk of this fun, rewarding, and sometimes challenging, work on prom evening.

However, this year we are asking that anyone - with a valid driver‘s license - who is

willing to lend their driving and parking skills to help us give our students a wonderful

evening on campus at the Capital High School Prom. If you wish to help, you may

contact the prom sponsor, Mrs. Laura Woolwine, or any administrator at the school, at

348-6500.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Beginning on Friday, April 8, 2011, as an addition to our morning devotional we also

play - following the national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag - James

Weldon Johnson's ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing.’

Mr. Johnson first wrote this as a poem commemorating the birthday of President

Abraham Lincoln. However, it has become so much more than a simple birthday

recognition! As it has been pointed out to students this song (although it is referred to by

many as the Negro National Anthem) portrays no particular racial or ethnic identity.

And, during the reflections that were offered on the song during our Black History Month

Observation last year, it should have become even more apparent to all that this song is

about the triumphs of the American people as a whole over slavery, discrimination,

injustice, racism, and bigotry, more so than any other message conveyed through song.

This song speaks to, about, and for all people who have ever experienced any of the

indignities mentioned previously at any time in their lives, anywhere. Therefore, it

becomes incumbent upon us all, to be reminded of, and to make a concerted effort

to work against those forces that would attempt to perpetuate any form of slavery,

discrimination, injustice, racism, and bigotry anywhere in the world - not just here

in the United States of America. Make no mistake about it, eternal vigilance is the

price of peace! Through the playing of the song it is hoped that it will serve as a

reminder to all of us to be on guard against allowing slavery, discrimination, injustice,

racism, and bigotry to ever again plague this great nation of ours or any other part of the

world. The following are the lyrics to the three verses of this beautiful song. The first

four lines of the song speak volumes and invites everyone to celebrate the liberty

Americans enjoy!

“LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING”

Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,

Ring with the harmonies of liberty;

Let our rejoicing rise, high as the list‘ning skies,

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;

Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,

Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast‘ning rod,

Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;

Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,

Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?

We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.

We have come, treading our path thro‘ the blood of the slaughtered,

Out from a gloomy past, till now we stand at last,

Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,

God of our silent tears,

Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;

Thou who hast by thy might, led us into the light,

Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

Lest our feet stray from the places Our God where we met Thee,

Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world we forget Thee;

Shadowed beneath Thy hand may we forever stand,

True to our God,

True to our native land.

~James Weldon Johnson, John Rosamond Johnson ~

Graduation/Commencement Participation Requirements have

Changed!

22.01Graduation Requirements. Students are required to earn twenty five (25) credits

in order to graduate. Specific graduation requirements for students in Kanawha

County Schools are outlined in the Senior Course Description Handbook that is

published annually for students and parents. All graduation requirements will be in

accordance with West Virginia Board of Education Policy 2510.

In the past it has been Kanawha County Schools policy to permit students who were

within one credit or less of meeting graduation requirements to participate in the annual

graduation/commencement activities hosted by the school.

Beginning with the 2009 - 2010 school year, participation in the annual

graduation/commencement activities will include only those students who have

accumulated the 25 credits in the requisite areas specified by the Kanawha County

Board of Education.

All students are encouraged to ensure that they meet graduation requirements as soon as

possible through meeting with their respective counselors. We do not wish to find

ourselves in the unenviable position of having to tell a student and their parent or

guardian that they will not be permitted to participate in the annual

graduation/commencement activities of Capital High School, after all appropriate

preparations and arrangements had been made by the student.

International Luncheon

The twenty-third annual international luncheon was a great success again this year.

Parents and students exceeded all expectations by preparing a variety of delicious recipes.

Naturally there were dishes from all the Hispanic countries and France, but this year the

exchange students prepared dishes from their home countries as well. There were dishes

from Lebanon, India, Korea, and Bosnia. Many of the teachers and administrators ate

lunch with the students and commented on the variety and preparation of the food.

Most everyone followed the guidelines by bringing only disposable containers, so the

cleanup went very fast. Those containers helped us send six boxes of food to the

homeless shelter; thus, many were well fed that day. The international luncheon requires

the help of many: Students, parents, administrators, teachers, and custodians, and all are

very much appreciated.

Capital High students competed for a trophy with 13 schools in the large school division,

and were awarded the second place trophy. Individual students competed for medals with

superior students from 45 schools throughout West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio.

We owe a big thank you to the 81 students who spent their first day of spring break

getting on a school bus at 7:00 am to take tests. Some of them won but all of them

competed honorably.

The competition is a school-wide effort with many teachers helping with registering

students before the day of the competition. I appreciate all the help that Mrs. McClure,

Mr. Cox and Mrs. Sears gave me on the day of the competition. Noelia Lerma, the Amity

Scholar, and Niki Sangani, my student helper, were also invaluable in organizing the

registration of competitors before the day of the competition.

It was a fun day, and we will try again next year for first place against Greenbrier East

who won a trophy for bringing the most student competitors.

Kanawha Charleston Health Department

Kanawha Charleston Health Department had an immunization clinic at Capital High on

Tuesday April 17, 2012. Consent form packets were sent home on Tuesday April 10,

2012. Please note that these immunizations are mandatory for entry into the 12th

grade.

We must have the student’s immunization records and insurance information before any

immunizations will be given. Students entering the 12th

grade must show proof of having

the TDap and Meningoccal immunizations prior to the first day of school for the 2012-

2013 school year.

IMPORTANT ALERT FOR PARENTS OF INCOMING 12th

GRADERS

NEW IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS! Before students may enter the 12

th grade in the 2012-2013 school year, they must

show proof that they have had the Tdap vaccine booster, after the age of 11, and at

least one dose of the meningococcal vaccine, after their 16th

birthday. This is a new

rule that will go into effect with the beginning of the school year. It was created to

make sure students are protected from some pretty serious contagious diseases.

The Tdap shot is only one shot but protects against three diseases, tetanus,

diphtheria and pertussis. Students had these shots prior to entering Kindergarten,

but now must show proof that they have had the booster shot, since protection has

been shown to weaken as children get older. Pertussis is a very contagious disease

and can last for 10 weeks or more. If pertussis is passed to infants or very young

children it may be life threatening.

Bacterial meningococcal vaccine protects adolescents from the deadly bacterial

meningitis. Even with treatment, people who get bacterial meningitis die in about

10% of the cases, and those who survive have long term complications such as

deafness, brain damage or amputated limbs about 20% of the time. Most colleges

now require the meningococcal vaccine before students are allowed to enroll.

If your child is going to begin the 12th

grade this August, please make an

appointment now with his or her primary health care provider for an adolescent

physical and the required immunizations. It is also a good idea to talk with your

provider about the HPV vaccine to prevent genital warts and cervical cancer. The

HPV vaccine is not required but is recommended. BE SURE TO ASK FOR

WRITTEN PROOF THAT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR HAS HAD THE

TDAP AND THE MENINGOCOCCAL VACCINES. You may bring that proof to

the school any time prior to the last day of school this year or before or on the first

day of school in August.

If you have any questions please call Kanawha Charleston Health Department at

304-348-8080 or Kanawha County Schools Health Services at 304-348-6494.

Ninth Grade Career Day

Mr. Mathew Tyree, pictured above, was only one of the many professionals who

made time in their schedules to join the CSU ninth graders on Wednesday, March 28, for

the annual Career Day. Mr. Tyree was instrumental in securing several members of

Generation Charleston to share their career pathways with our students. Generation

Charleston is the emerging leader committee of the Charleston Area Alliance. Its mission

is to engage and empower the Capital City's young talent to create a more vibrant and

prosperous economy through community involvement, professional development and

social networking.

The day began with a keynote address by Mr. Timothy Meadows, who had an

excellent presentation to the entire ninth grade class concerning being prepared to meet

the demands of the future global economy as well as the importance of doing what you

love. Joining Mr. Meadows on stage with a special greeting from Vision 2030 was Mr.

Brian Young with BBT. Vision 2030 was an inspiration of Generation Charleston that is

an initiative to prepare future workers in the Kanawha Valley. Our third speaker in the

opening assembly was Mr. Robert Stigall from the West Virginia State Department. Mr.

Stigall suggested the many possibilities for employment in the state government for both

professional and non-degree positions.

The Capital High School administration and the CSU faculty wish to

acknowledge the following that gave of their time and expertise to share with students

about their chosen profession: Derek Raynes-Physical Therapy; Atish Baidya-TV
