2015-2016 Smyrna S. D. Teacher of the Year: North Smyrna’s Sandra Hall!

On behalf of our Smyrna School District

Board of Education President Ron Eby,

Vice President Vetra Evans-Gunter, and

Board Members Kristi Lloyd, Scot Mc-

Clymont and Chris Malec, our 659 em-

ployees and our 5,279 students, I am

honored to welcome our community

back to school on Monday, August 24,

2015.

The 2015-2016 school year will be an

exciting one as we celebrate 132 years

of Smyrna High School graduations

with the Class of 2016. Our annual

homecoming parade will be Friday,

October 9, 2015, our “I Love the

Smyrna School District” day will be Sat-

urday, February 28, 2016, and our grad-

uation will be early this year on Satur-

day, May 28, 2016 at 10 a.m.

As you may have noted while touring

around the Smyrna School District

many construction projects have taken

place over this short summer vacation.

Most notable is the Smyrna Elementary

School renovations. With a new

parking lot configuration, storm water

management system, and new kitchen

coming in October, the foundation has

been started, but will not be completed

by our opening day. New handicapped

assessable bathrooms are in the works

to be completed just in time for the stu-

dents return. Sprinkler systems, new

pipes down the hallways, new lighting

and new drop in ceilings are also

moving along. The project, under the

able architectural firm of Fearn/Clen-

daniel and the construction firm of Ven-

trusca Brothers is now working 10-hour

days and Saturdays to allow this project

to proceed.

Also, under the watchful direction of the

Fearn/Clendaniel Architectural Firm and

local construction company of Kent

Construction, John Bassett Moore In-

termediate School is finishing up a new

air-conditioning system in the library

and a new handicapped and more

secure office entrance. A new emer-

gency generator and repaved bus lane

will follow soon. The South Street mon-

umental steps will take a month longer

as the structure under the granite steps

was full of surprises including a struc-

ture made of sand. Our beautiful old

auditorium was repainted this summer

by Snow’s Painting and has regained

its original splendor.

Sunnyside Elementary School, North

Elementary School, and Clayton Ele-

mentary School all have been thor-

oughly cleaned and are ready for stu-

dents and teachers. These able

custodial crews will now help to finish

other school projects slowed by

summer construction.

Clayton Intermediate School has also

been cleaned and polished ready for

students and teachers. The new work

there has been on the outside athletic

fields adding sidewalks, fences, laying

out sprinkler systems, field lines, and

installing bleachers.

Smyrna Middle School’s staff was busy

with 22 days of the K-12 Summer

Learning Academy. Now the custodial

staff is very busy finishing their work

for the first days of school. Later this

fall the middle school will have a new

card reader security system and

updated security cameras.

Smyrna High School has a newly un-

derground irrigated practice football

field. No more dusty football practices

this summer. The high school audito-

rium has been completely painted for

the first time in its 40-year history also

by Snow’s Painting.

In the planning stages for this school

year and for next summer are the be-

ginning of renovations for Clayton Ele-

mentary, North Elementary School, the

completion of renovations of Smyrna

Elementary School, and JBM Interme-

diate School. The Thomas D. Clayton

Building is also on the list for a total

structural renovation that will close the

building for a year.

The projects, large and small, that it

takes to keep our eleven buildings

updated and safe takes teamwork from

all of our staff, students, parents, and

community members. While the work

is not easy, it is a blessing that we have

the funding to do it.

A special thank you goes out to our leg-

islators Senator Bruce Ennis, Senator

John Lawson, Representative Bill

Carson, Representative Jeff Spiegle-

man, and Representative Trey Paradee

for helping the Smyrna School District

with construction funds. They are our

constant supporters. Also, a thank

you to Levy Court President Brooks

Banta, Smyrna Mayor Joanne Masten,

and Clayton Mayor David Letterman

for always being just a phone call

away when we need assistance.

Year after year our school family has

been blessed with the backing of our

community as we continue our stu-

dents’ educational journey. Thank you,

thank you, thank you.

CLAYTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Another exciting change for this school year is our newly renovated

Computer Lab. The lab includes 30 student computers, a ceiling

mounted projector, new countertops and chairs, and a teacher station.

Teachers will be able to take their classes to the lab for classroom les-

sons, research, typing and testing.

Please be aware of

the Smyrna School

District Dress Code

prior to the first day

of school to ensure

the students are

dressed properly.

Your child will be

bringing home the

CES Handbook on

their first day of

school. You are en-

couraged to take some time to read over the handbook in order to fa-

miliarize yourself with the school’s procedures and policies. Feel free

to contact Mrs. McGuire or Mr. Reed at any time if you have questions

during the school year.

Finally, Clayton Elementary School’s Motto is: Children First. It is our

desire to provide a well-rounded educational program in which your

child may learn and grow in a safe environment while maintaining a high

standard of academic excellence. Parental support and participation is

a key factor in accomplishing our goals. We encourage you to take an

active role in your child’s education. Jane D. Hull, former Governor of

Arizona, says it best, “At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key

to a child’s success is the positive involvement of parents.”

CES PTO

Clayton Elementary needs volun-

teers to help out with our PTO.

This is an organization that is very

few in numbers but does a

tremendous job in supporting the

students and staff at Clayton Ele-

mentary. Meetings take place the

second Monday of each month at

6:00 pm in the school library.

Please find the time to help out

this wonderful organization. We

are looking forward to seeing you

there!

The staff at Clayton Elementary School would like to welcome our Clayton students and their families to

another great school year. The administration, secretaries and custodial staff have been extremely busy this

summer preparing for the students’ arrival on Monday, August 24.

An entire new group of Kindergarteners have been registered,

classes have been formed and a new schedule has been created.

The custodial staff has done a wonderful job cleaning all of the

classrooms, waxing the floors and painting many of the classroom

walls. Several teachers have already been in their classrooms

preparing for their new group of students. The entire Clayton El-

ementary staff will be excited, prepared and ready for opening

day!

Once again, the Clayton Elementary staff would like to congrat-

ulate Mrs. Debbie Chadwick, former Clayton Principal, on her re-

tirement. Mrs. Chadwick devoted 40 years to the Smyrna School

District and she will surely be missed. However, we are pleased

to announce that Mrs. Stephanie McGuire will be the new princi-

pal at Clayton Elementary School. Mrs. McGuire has been in ed-

ucation for 18 years. She came to the Smyrna School District in 2012 when she was hired as the Associate

Principal at North Smyrna Elementary. We are excited to have her at the helm of our school and welcome

her to the Clayton Elementary School staff and Clayton community.

with. We have purchased

picnic tables so teachers can

take students outside for class-

room activities. We have re-

ceived a grant from Wal-Mart

to purchase materials to create

a sensory room for our stu-

dents. This room will provide

a place for breaks and class-

room activities.

North Smyrna will continue

participating in the National

School Lunch and School

Breakfast Programs, Commu-

nity Eligibility Provision. This

provision was enacted as a

result of the Healthy, Hunger-

Free Kids Act of 2010 and pro-

vides universal meal service to

students in schools/districts

that qualify. All North Smyrna

Elementary students will

receive a nutritious breakfast

and lunch at school at no

charge.

Be sure to enjoy your remain-

ing days of summer vacation.

The start of school is just

around the corner. Remember

to come to our Open House on

Tuesday, August 18. Students

remember to bring in your

Summer Reading Logs so that

we can award prizes for all

your hard work.

Stephanie Smeltzer:

New Associate Principal for North!

Smyrna School District at John

Bassett Moore Intermediate

School for the past four years. I

love being a part of the Smyrna

community and am looking for-

ward to my new position. In my

free time I enjoy reading, the

beach and spending time with

my husband, Justin and my chil-

dren, Grace and Justin. My son

and daughter are proud eagles

too! I am looking forward to the

new school year. I cannot wait

to meet all of you at our open

house.

An adults-only Open House

students on Wednesday,

Thursday, September 10 at

6:00 an adults-only Open

House will be held for

parents of Second, Third and

Fourth Grade students. We

encourage you to attend these

informational evenings. We will

begin in the gymnasium for

opening remarks from building

and district-level administration

and staff. General classroom

sessions will follow with your

child’s teacher. After the infor-

mational session, families may

familiarize themselves with the

building or visit with another

child’s teacher. Additionally, the

school nurse and cafeteria

manager will be available to

answer questions. This is an

opportunity to introduce and fa-

miliarize yourself with the new

classroom and grade level ex-

pectations. Please note, teach-

ers will not be available for

parent-teacher

conferences,

but will be happy to work with

you to schedule a meeting for

a later time if needed.

Two-way communication is the

key to a successful school year.

If you have any questions or

need clarification on anything,

please do not hesitate to

contact the school. We look

forward to a successful school

year with you and your child.

STUDENTS WITH MEDICATION

All medications are to be delivered to the school nurse by

a parent or guardian, in their original containers at the be-

ginning of the day. Any student with medication (pills,

cough syrup, etc.) not turned in to the nurse will be subject

to disciplinary action. Parents are reminded that student pre-

paredness for school is an important part of the potential for

success. When students do not take the prescribed medications

that they should, often their behaviors deteriorate and thus in-

terfere with the instructional process. If these kinds of situa-

tions occur, parents/guardians will be contacted to clear up the

problem. Repeated occurrences of these situations will result

in appropriate measures so the educational process may pro-

ceed.

The administrative team at

Smyrna Elementary School

would like to welcome all new

and returning families to the

2015/16 school year. As with

the opening of every school

year, the upcoming year prom-

ises to bring wonderful learning

opportunities, excitement, and

a variety of challenges that

you’ve come to know and

expect from Smyrna Elemen-

tary. Our teachers have been

excitedly preparing their class-

rooms and honing their teach-

ing strategies, while our custo-

dians, maintenance and

construction crews have

worked hard to prepare our

building for a safe new year.

We all anxiously await the op-

portunity to develop a partner-

ship in a positive learning envi-

ronment with you and your

child(ren) and we look forward

to your active participation in

our school functions and edu-

cational experiences.

This communication is de-

signed to provide you with

some important information

related to the start of the school

year. Attached you will find a

welcome letter from your child’s

teacher and a supply list to help

you prepare for the first day

of school on Monday, August

24. Our staff will be ready at

8:30am to guide your child(ren)

to their classroom and to safely

dismiss them at 3:30 pm.

You will receive detailed infor-

mation regarding bus trans-

portation within a couple of

weeks. While some of you may

prefer to transport your child to

school on the first day, it would

be beneficial for your child to

arrive at school by the same

means that they will normally

come to school. This helps

children learn their bus number

and to become familiar with

their driver. It will be easier for

students and teachers to tran-

SCHOOL-AGE CHILD CARE PROGRAM

There will be before-school care available at Smyrna Elementary School. The

name of the program is the Breakfast Club. The program will be operated by

the staff of the Smyrna School District. Students may be dropped off as early

as 7:15 a.m. The cost is $2.50 per day (non-refundable), which must be paid

in advance. Payments may be made to your child’s school cafeteria, the District

Child Nutrition Office, or online via Nutrikids.com

. The students will receive

breakfast during the time they are in the program, homework help, and super-

vised arts, crafts, and games. Applications for the program are available in the

main office or at www.smyrna.k12.de.us

under Child Nutrition.

The after-school care program will be available to students who attend Smyrna

Elementary. The program is operated by the Boys and Girls Club of Delaware.

The goal of the program is to provide a comprehensive childcare program after

school hours for children ages 5-13 to meet the needs of working parents. The pro-

gram will feature enhanced instructional strategies, life enhancing programs, plus

character and value development experiences. These programs enhance the lives

of the children they serve by developing their values, skills, and self-esteem. The

hours of operation are from school dismissal until 6:00 p.m. A nutritious snack

and drink will be provided each day. All children must become a member of the

Smyrna/Clayton Boys & Girls Club. State Purchase of Care is accepted. Additional

fees are required on school days off and half days. Registration information is avail-

able in the office.

ATTENTION FAMILIES OF CAR-RIDERS

& WALKERS TO & FROM SCHOOL

As we enter the final phases of capital improvement project here at

Smyrna Elementary School, there will be continue to be no pick-up or

drop off along School Lane or South Street. (For our returning families,

we will follow the same procedures as we did for the final month of

last school year.)

CAR RIDERS

Car-riders will use curbside drop-off (and pick-up) in the existing bus

lane at the front of the school (near main office). Staff will be on hand

to unload students directly from vehicles and to supervise children until

it is time to enter the building (8:20). Students who eat breakfast at

school will be allowed to enter at 8:10, as usual. Parents need not

park and get out of their cars. Parents should remain in their cars

and follow the line and SES staff will supervise students entering the

building. Cars may enter the bus drop-off area from either direction

along Kent Way.

Student pick-up will also occur in the current bus lane. Cars picking

students up from school must enter the driveway from the southwest

along Kent Way, move through the bus lane where students will be

loaded into vehicles, and exit onto School Lane (see enclosed diagram

of school property). Out of concern for student safety, there will be

no student drop-off or pick-up along School Lane for the start of the

school year, until further notice. Parents need not park and get out

of their cars. Parents should remain in their cars and follow the line

and SES staff will escort your student to your car.

WALKERS

Students who truly walk to and from school (escorted by parent or oth-

erwise) will not be able to enter the school via South Street. Students

will be able to enter the building nearest their respective classrooms, but

must do so either via entrances on School Lane or the multiple entrances

near the front office.

Walkers will be dismissed from the same area as car-riding students. As

usual, they will check out with a staff member before leaving school

grounds.

We hope this letter finds you

well-rested and prepared for

the beginning of the new school

year. Throughout the summer

we have been thoroughly

preparing for the arrival of your

student(s) on August 24, 2015,

the first day of school. Last

school year was a great success.

We hope you all had a chance

to visit at one or more of our

events. Sunnyside is the best

because you all make the edu-

cation of your children a top pri-

ority. We feel the support here

and truly appreciate it.

After the school year begins,

you will receive a student hand-

book and important forms to fill

out and return to school.

Please read the student hand-

book with your child and return

the paperwork as soon as pos-

sible. New updates in policies

and procedures are added each

year and are very important.

The information you provide

will help us keep your students

safe, in good health and our

staff in constant communication

2015-16 School Year: Student Safety #1

We are pleased to add a few new safety measures to our school safety

plan this year.

The car rider pick-up loop will close at 8:35 am and reopen at 3:00 pm.

If you arrive after 8:35 am, your student is late; please report to the

office to sign in your student. The start of the instructional day is 8:35

am. We will have a barricade up to stop any cars from going behind

the building during the school day. This will allow our students to enjoy

an extended area for recess, as well. At 3:00 pm the barricade will be

removed. Please do not arrive until 3:00 pm each day. Car-riders are

dismissed at 3:15 pm.

We have purchased a new check-in system from Raptor Technologies.

The Raptor system scans licenses, military identification cards and

other state issued identification cards to check-in visitors while simul-

taneously scanning the sex offender registry. Parents and visitors must

bring their identification into the school the first time they are visiting

for the 2015-16 school year so your profile can be entered into the sys-

tem. Bringing that identification each time you visit will speed up the

process. Visitor passes will print upon approval with your photo and

the location you are visiting with a time and date stamp.

Please bear with us as we implement these new initiatives. As always,

your students’ safety is our number one concern.

SMYRNA MESSENGER FALL 2015 Page 10

SMYRNA HIGH SCHOOL

The Administration of Smyrna

High School eagerly awaits the ar-

rival of students for the 2015-16

school year. The east side of the

building (Smyrna Side) is desig-

nated for student parking. Stu-

dents who wish to drive to school

will present their completed Ap-

plication for Driving Permit with

all supporting documents to Mrs.

Sfamurri in the front office, along

with the $10 parking fee begin-

ning on August 12, 2015. Only

students that have completed their

6 month restricted driving process

may purchase parking tags.

Students who owe an obligation

will not be allowed to purchase

a parking pass until the obliga-

tions are cleared through the

main office.

Parking spots may not be reserved

at any time. Seniors are permitted

to purchase their parking tags on

August 12, 13, and 14, from 8:00

AM – 3:00 PM. Juniors may pur-

chase their parking tags on August

17, from 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM, and

August 18, from 12:00 PM to 3:00

PM. All remaining students may

purchase a parking tag beginning

August 19, from 8:00 AM – 3:00

PM. All cars using the school

parking lot must display the tag on

the rear view mirror. Any car in

the school parking lot that does

not display the tag by the start of

school on August, 31 will be sub-

ject to towing.

It is the position of the Smyrna

High School Administration that

driving to school is a privilege,

tied to the Code of Conduct. Stu-

dents who violate the Code of

Conduct may have their driving

privilege revoked. The Adminis-

tration urges the students and par-

ents to become familiar with the

regulations associated with the

driving privilege as indicated on

the Application for Driving Per-

mit.

When entering the Smyrna High

School property, all traffic must

enter using the West side (Clay-

ton Side entrance) and exit the

property using the East side

(Smyrna side exit). Please be

mindful of the 15 MPH speed

limit and yield to pedestrians

crossing on their way to the build-

ing. No vehicles are permitted to

park in the bus lane or to drop off

or pick up students in front of the

school between the hours of 7:00-

7:30AM, and 2:15-2:45PM. The

parent drop off is located on the

Smyrna side of the building next

to the entrance to the Auditorium

lobby. Please follow the driving

directions provided by the signs,

cones, and school personnel in

that area when dropping off a stu-

dent in the morning.

Wellness Center News

Summer is coming to a close and we are

gearing up for a new school year. The staff at

the Bayhealth Wellness Center at Smyrna

High School hopes that you have had a safe

and enjoyable summer. We look forward to

serving the students of our community in the

future.

Bayhealth’s Wellness Centers provide

Delaware’s teenagers with health services in

cooperation with each teen’s family physi-

cian. The center provides physical, mental,

nutritional and educational health services for

its members. The goal of the Wellness Center

is to promote healthy lifestyles, increase

school attendance and improve the student’s

ability to concentrate. All students in grades

9-12 are eligible to access Wellness Center

services.

To participate in the Wellness Center, a

parental consent and teen health history form

must be completed on each student. Your

child will receive a Wellness center packet on

the first day of school. Please feel free to call

302-653-2399 with any questions.

For questions or information concerning attendance,

parents may contact Mrs. Stacey Watts or Mr.

Leon Clarke at 653-8581, or e-mail at:

stacy.watts@smyrna.k12.de.us

leon.clarke@smyrna.k12.de.us.

Parents may also choose to e-mail late and absent

notes to Mrs. Watts.

eSchool Attendance is recorded for every class of

the day

Student daily attendance will be based on the fol-

lowing:

• Absent 1 Period = full day present

• Absent 2 periods = half day absent

• Absent 3-4 periods = full day absent

The Attendance Review for semester and year-

long class credit will be determined using the

total days Absent for each individual class. Stu-

dent credits will be awarded or denied for each

class individually.

Students will be permitted to miss up to 10 days

from a semester-long class, and up to 20 days

from a year-long class and still be eligible to re-

ceive academic credit for the class.

Tardy to school is for students not in the building

by 7:30 am. Three unexcused tardies will be the

same as one day Absent. This day of absence will

count towards the total allowed absences for the

year for that class. The tardies will be recorded in

the main office before the student reports to

class.

Tardy to class is for students 15 minutes or less

late to any class of the day. The consequence is

three unexcused tardies is the same as one day

Absent. For each unexcused tardy starting with

the 6th, the student will have an additional con-

sequence of 1 day in SBIP. These absences are in-

cluded in the student’s total allowed absences for

the year and may result in credit for the course

being denied.

HS ATTENDANCE POLICY

2015-16 SCHOOL YEAR

Student Attire at SHS

Proper attire in the business world requires a certain standard of

dress. The Smyrna High School Dress Code reflects the community

desire to prepare our students for the work force they will enter

shortly. Parents and students should keep this dress code in mind

when shopping for school clothing. Clothing worn to school should

not interfere with the educational process. Some highlights from the

Dress Code are:

- Tops that suggest inappropriate messages or display pictures

such as tobacco, drugs, alcohol, hate messages, expose the

midriff or undergarments, halter-tops, fish-net tops, tank tops,

and muscle shirts are not be worn to school.

- Oversized pants that sag below the waist or drag on the floor

and pants that are extremely tight are not to be worn to school.

- Pajamas and clothing articles that replicate undergarments are

not to be worn to school.

- Shorts, skirts, and dresses should not be worn if the length is in

violation of the Dress Code.

- Hats, headbands, bandanas, earmuffs, goggles, and any other

head coverings (unless required for religious purposes) are not

permitted in school.

- Tights worn alone are unacceptable and must be covered by a

skirt, pants, or shorts of an acceptable length. A long shirt worn

over the tights is not acceptable.

- Versions of clothing such as see-through pants, jeggings, and

yoga pants are not acceptable.

Parents and students should refer to the complete dress code pam-

phlet for further specific details.

Student Use of Personally Owned Electronic Devices

As new technologies continue to change the world in which we live,

they also provide many new and positive educational benefits for

classroom instruction. To encourage educational growth, students at

Smyrna High School may now bring their own mobile device to cam-

pus. Student use of such devices in the classroom environment must

be approved by a teacher or administrator. Any non-approved uses

of such devices are subject to the Smyrna High School Code of Con-

duct. For the purposes of Personally Owned Electronic Device, “De-

vice” means privately owned portable electronic equipment that

includes smart phones or other portable devices (i.e. MP3 Player, elec-

tronic book, tablet, etc) that can be used for word processing, wireless

Internet access, and information transmitting/receiving/storing, etc.

The Smyrna School District will not provide any wireless or Ethernet

connections for such devices. Hot Spots or mobile wireless access

points are not permitted

rected to the Principal. The re-

quest must identify the part of the

record you want changed, and

specify why it is inaccurate. If the

District denies your request, the

District will notify you of the de-

cision, advise of the right to a

hearing, and provide the hearing

procedures.

Consent

You have the right to consent to

disclosures of personally identifi-

able information contained in the

student’s education records, ex-

cept to the extent that FERPA au-

thorizes disclosure without con-

sent. One exception permits dis-

closure without consent to school

officials with legitimate educa-

tional interests. School officials

include District employees, Board

members, a person or company

retained by the District to perform

a special task (such as an attorney,

auditor, medical consultant, or

therapist), or a parent or student

serving on a committee or assist-

ing another school official. A

school official has a legitimate ed-

ucational interest if the official

needs to review an education

record in order to fulfill his or her

professional responsibility.

Upon request, the District will dis-

close education records without

consent to officials of another dis-

trict in which a student seeks or

intends to enroll.

Complaint

You may file a complaint with the

U.S. Department of Education

concerning alleged failures by the

District to comply with the re-

quirements of FERPA. The name

and address of the office that ad-

ministers FERPA are:

fied.

Upon the parents request the

Dear Parent:

As a parent of a student in the

Smyrna School District you

have the right to know the pro-

fessional qualifications of the

classroom teachers who in-

struct your child. Federal law

allows you to ask for certain in-

formation about your child’s

classroom teachers, and re-

quires us to give you the infor-

mation in a timely manner if

you ask for it. Specifically, you

have the right to ask for the fol-

lowing information about each

of your child’s classroom

teachers:

» Whether the Delaware

Department of Educa-

tion has licensed or

qualified the teacher for

the grades and subjects

he or she teaches.

» Whether the Delaware

Department of Educa-

tion has decided that the

teacher can teach in a

classroom without being

licensed or qualified

under state regulations

because of special cir-

cumstances.

» The teacher’s college

major; whether the

teacher has any

advanced degrees and,

if so, the subject of the

degrees.

» Whether any teachers’

aides or similar parapro-

fessionals provide Title I

services to your child

and, if they do, their

qualifications.

A website has been setup for

you to obtain this information

at:

http://deeds.doe.k12.de.us

You may access this informa-

tion by going to this website

and click “Parents/General

Public” on the left-hand side of

your computer screen. Click

“Search” for an employed

Delaware public / charter

school educator.” Enter the last

name of your child’s teacher

and click “search.” Click the

“profile” link after your child’s

teacher’s name. You will find

The Protection of Pupil Rights Amend-

ment affords parents, students who

are 18, and emancipated minors the

following rights regarding the District’s

conduct of surveys, collection and use

of information for marketing purposes,

and certain physical exams.

Protected Information Surveys

The District is required to obtain con-

sent permitting your child to participate

in certain school activities, or you may

elect to opt out of such activities.

These activities, known as protected

information surveys, include a student

survey, analysis, or evaluation con-

cerning one or more of the following:

1. Political affiliations or beliefs of

the student or student’s parents;

2. Mental or psychological prob-

lems of the student or student’s

family;

3. Sexual behavior or attitudes;

4. Illegal, anti-social, self-incriminat-

ing, or demeaning behavior;

5. Critical appraisals of others with

whom respondents have close

family relationships;

6. Legally recognized privileged re-

lationships, such as with lawyers,

doctors, or ministers;

7. Religious practices, affiliations,

or beliefs of the student or par-

ents; or

8. Income, other than as required

by law to determine program eli-

gibility.

Notice & Opportunity To Opt Out

At the start of each school year, the

District will notify you of dates of the

following activities, and provide an op-

portunity to opt a student out of partic-

ipating in such activities:

1. Any protected information survey,

regardless of funding source;

2. Any non-emergency, in-vasive

physical exam or screening re-

quired as a condition of atten-

dance, administered by the

school or its agent, and not nec-

essary to protect the immediate

health and safety of a student,

except for hearing, vision, or

scoliosis screenings, or any

physical exam or screening per-

mitted or required under Sate

law; and

3. Activities involving collection,

disclosure, or use of personal in-

formation ob-tained from stu-

dents for marketing, or to sell or

otherwise distribute the informa-

tion to others.

Inspection

You may, upon request, inspect the fol-

lowing:

1. Protected information surveys of

students;

2. Instruments used to collect per-

sonal information from students

for marketing, sales, or other dis-

tribution purposes; and

3. Instructional materials used as

part of the educational curriculum.

Adoption of Policy

The District will adopt policies, in consul-

tation with parents, regarding these

rights, as well as arrangements to pro-

tect student privacy in the administration

of protected surveys and the collection,

disclosure, or use of personal informa-

tion for marketing, sales, or other distri-

bution purposes. The District will notify

you of these policies at least annually at

the start of each school year and after

any substantive changes.

COMMUNITY

NOTIFICATION OF

SEX OFFENDERS

While community notification of

sex offenders is the responsi-

bility of local law enforcement,

the Smyrna School District be-

lieves it has an appropriate role

to play in improving community

awareness of the potential

threat posed by sex offenders.

This includes a responsibility to

educate our students about

personal safety and to let you

know when an offender is living

in our district or has enrolled in

public school. Each of our

schools and the district office

has this information in a binder

available for your review.

State Representative Jeff Spiegelman is sponsoring legislation

that would allow a local school board to delay new or changed

rules, regulations, or administrative procedures from becoming

effective during a school’s fiscal year. Barring an emergency,

House Bill 34 will allow the regulations to be consistent for that

fiscal year. The idea came about as a result of discussions with

members of the Smyrna School Board and Smyrna School Dis-

trict Superintendent Deborah Wicks. By the time the 2015 leg-

islative session had adjourned at the end of June, the bill had

passed the House and remained pending in the Senate.
