An automated phone call will be made to announce a school closing. In addition, the following radio and television stations have agreed to broadcast news about emergency school closings: WALK - 97.5 FM/1370 AM B-103 - 103.1 FM WBLI/WBAB - 106.1/102.3 FM News 12 - Channel 12 If there is any doubt about school being open or closed, listen to these radio stations, watch Channel 12, or visit our website at www.smithtown.k12.ny.us. Residents are requested not to telephone the school office when weather is bad. Too many calls tie up vital phone lines, making it much more difficult to keep everything running smoothly. Smithtown also has “delayed opening” and “early dismissal” procedures. When it appears that the weather will improve early enough, the school district will institute its “delayed opening” procedure. An automated phone call will be made, the radio stations will be notified, and bus and opening time schedules will be delayed from one to two hours, depending upon the individual situation. Dismissal will remain the same when possible. If inclement weather makes it necessary to dismiss youngsters early, the radio and television stations will be notified, and an automated phone call will be made. This information will also appear on our district website. 2014-2015 State Testing Schedule Reporting to Parents Elementary Level To provide parents with a comprehensive appraisal of their child’s progress in all areas, Smithtown uses both written reports and parent-teacher conferences which will be held December 9, 10, 2014 and March 13, 2015. Additional conferences may be scheduled as needed at the request of either teacher or parent. Written reports will be provided three times per year. Secondary Level Parents should look for their children's report cards within approximately two weeks of the end of each marking period indicated below. Secondary report card grades will also be available on the Parent Portal within one week of the end of each marking period. If you have a question concerning your child’s progress, contact the teacher or guidance counselor.

Regents Exams - January 26 –29, 2015 June 2, 16 –24, 2015 AIMS & OBJECTIVES The Smithtown School District is dedicated to educating students to develop desired moral, ethical, and cultural values, to stimulate and expand a continual learning process and to cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the rights and responsibilities of American citizens, which will enable them to function effectively as independent individuals in a democratic society. The educational program strives to provide each child with the fundamental academic skills and basic knowledge required for his/her maximum educational development, the opportunity for each child to develop his/her interests and abilities to the fullest extent according to his/her individual potential, and special services to promote the physical, mental and emotional development of each child. It is the District’s goal to foster in students good work habits, integrity, selfdiscipline, good sportsmanship, self-confidence, and a sense of purpose. PESTICIDE NOTIFICATION New York State Education Law, Section 409-H, requires schools to provide written notification regarding actual or potential use of pesticides throughout the school year. The District is also required to maintain a list of students, parents or staff members who wish to receive a 48-hour prior written notification of specific pesticide applications in the District. This is to advise there have been no additional applications since the last notification. The Smithtown School District, since 1992, has utilized an integrated pest management program (IPM) in order to restrict or eliminate entirely the use of pesticides in or around District facilities. The School District’s IPM program includes the use of a contracted firm, expert in conducting integrated pest management programs. This firm conducts monthly inspections of all District facilities and takes appropriate remedial measures to eliminate or reduce the presence of insects or other pests. While the District does not anticipate any situation where there will be a need to provide notification of a pesticide application 48 hours in advance, if you would like to receive such notification if one were required, please send a postcard or brief letter to Mr. Robert C. Woolsey, Smithtown Central School District, 26 New York Avenue Unit 1, Smithtown, New York 11787, requesting pesticide application notification. Please include the school building for which you would like to be notified and your name and address. In the unlikely event an application of a regulated pesticide application is required, the District would not apply such chemicals unless the school was to remain unoccupied for a continuous 72 hours following the application. In doing so, a 48-hour notification would not be required. TITLE IX OF THE EDUCATION AMENDMENT OF 1972 The Smithtown Central School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin in the employment and educational opportunities it offers, including vocational educational opportunities. Also, as required by Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, the Smithtown Central School District, Smithtown, New York does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the educational programs or activities which it provides (including vocational programs), appointment of employees, employment pay and benefits, counseling services for students, access by students to educational programs, course offerings, textbooks and student activities. Dr. William Bushman, Title IX Coordinator, will provide information, including information on complaint procedures, to any student or employee who feels that her or his rights under Title IX may have been violated by the District or its officials. His office is in the Joseph M. Barton Building, 26 New York Avenue, Smithtown, New York. In addition, any student or employee may make an inquiry or a complaint directly to the Federal Office for Civil Rights. TITLE 45 Unless objection to any of the specific items of information following is submitted in writing by parent or legal guardians or by those students themselves who are over the age of 18 years, the Smithtown Central School District herewith gives notice of intention to provide, release, or publish in newsletters, school or student newspapers, magazines, yearbooks, Internet, or other publications, daily or weekly newspapers, athletic programs, news releases and/or all of the following information pertaining to students as may be appropriate under the circumstances: Name, age, height, weight, grade, major field of study, participation in recognized sports programs, academic honors, achievements, awards, scholarships, and similar information under Title 45. Parents who do not desire release of any of the above directory information must make a specific request in writing to the Superintendent of Schools. Failure to make such a request shall be deemed consent to release, provide or publish the directory information. PARENTS FOR MEGAN’S LAW In order to provide parents/guardians and residents with information concerning convicted sex offenders, the school district is utilizing a no-cost sex offender alert notification program. Upon voluntary registration, Parents for Megan’s Law (PFML) will e-mail district residents information about newly registered convicted sex offenders and direct residents to the Parents for Megan’s Law website, where they can access a full copy of the notification. If you have not already registered to receive these notifications, please contact the Parents for Megan’s Law Helpline at (631) 689-2672 or go to the Parents for Megan’s Law website at www.parentsformeganslaw.org and click the “E-mail Alert link.” DIPLOMA REQUIREMENTS – CLASS OF 2015 REGENTS DIPLOMA REQUIRED COURSES English Social Studies Mathematics Science Health The Arts CORE CREDITS -Subtotal Languages other than English Physical Education Electives TOTAL CREDITS: (required minimum) ADVANCED REGENTS DIPLOMA Credits 4 4 3(A) 3(A) .5 1 15.5 1 2 3.5(D) 22 REGENTS EXAMS REGENTS ENGLISH REGENTS MATH 2nd & 3rd REGENTS MATHEMATICS REGENTS GLOBAL HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY REGENTS US HISTORY & GOVERNMENT REGENTS SCIENCE 2ND REGENTS SCIENCE LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH YES YES NO YES YES YES NO (C) REQUIRED COURSES Credits English 4 Social Studies 4 Mathematics 3(A) Science 3(A) Health .5 The Arts 1 CORE CREDITS-Subtotal 15.5 Languages other than English 3(B) Physical Education 2 Electives 1.5(D) TOTAL CREDITS: (required minimum) 22 REGENTS ENGLISH REGENTS MATH 2nd REGENTS MATH 3rd REGENTS MATH REGENTS GLOBAL HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY REGENTS US HISTORY & GOVERNMENT REGENTS SCIENCE 2ND REGENTS SCIENCE LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES(B) FOOTNOTES FOR DIPLOMA REQUIREMENTS CHART A.

New York State Division of Human Rights 175 Fulton Avenue Hempstead, New York 11550 Special Education / Special Services 26 New York Avenue, Smithtown, NY 11787, 382-2070 / Fax: 382-2083 The Reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Act of 2004 (IDEA) mandates that all students receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. The Committee on Special Education (CSE), for children ages 5-21, and the Committee on Preschool Education (CPSE), for children ages 3-5, is responsible for evaluating information presented concerning a child and determining eligibility for special education programs and/or services. The determination of the CSE/CPSE will be consistent with the continuum of services outlined in the Commissioner’s Regulations and be based on such items as chronological age; learning rate; academic functioning; social/emotional development; physical development; and management needs. Students are placed into special education programs only when the severity of their disability is such that education in a regular class cannot be achieved. Related Services may be provided in conjunction with a mainstream education program or with other special education programs and services. In grades Kindergarten to 12: If you suspect your child is having academic difficulty, the best place to begin is with your child’s classroom teacher. The building’s Instructional Support Team (IST) will address any concerns and implement modifications, remedial services and strategies. If you feel your child may need the provision of special education services and/or programs, you must notify in writing either the Special Education Office or your child’s building principal. Upon receipt of your written consent, the CSE will evaluate your child. Mandated components of the CSE evaluations are medical, psychological, social history, and educational assessment. However, additional evaluations may also be requested based on the area(s) of concern. At the Preschool Level: If you have a preschool child and you are concerned about his/her speech, language, learning, physical or behavioral development, you may want to talk to your family doctor first to determine if your child is within the normal developmental scales. If you feel your child may need the provision of special education services and/or programs, you must notify in writing the Preschool Special Education Office and register your child at the Central Registration Office. At registration, you will be asked to choose an evaluator and sign a consent so the evaluation process may begin. If your child is receiving Early Intervention (EI) services, please advise us at the time of your registration. Mandated components of the CPSE evaluations are medical, psychological, social history, and an observation. However, additional evaluations may also be requested based on the area(s) of concern. The Committee members shall include, but not be limited to, the parent/guardian, at least one regular education teacher of the student, one special education teacher of the student, a school psychologist, a representative of the school district who is qualified to provide or supervise special education, a school physician (if specifically requested in writing by parent/guardian or member of the school at least 72 hours prior to the meeting), an additional parent member of a student with a disability residing in the school district or a neighboring school district (parent/guardian must notify in writing if they wish to waive their right to an additional parent member), other persons having knowledge or special expertise regarding the student, and if appropriate, the student. If your child is eligible to receive special education services and/or programs, the CSE/CPSE makes the recommendations to the Board of Education (BOE). Upon the BOE’s approval, the Committee develops and implements an appropriate Individual Education Plan (IEP), for resident students, and an Individual Education Services Plan (IESP), for non-resident students. At least once a year your child’s IEP/IESP will be reviewed. However, you may request in writing a meeting at anytime. If your child is illegible to receive special education services and/or programs and you disagree with the decision of the Committee, you may request mediation and/or an impartial hearing. Parents/Guardians who place their children in non-public schools must contact the school district where the nonpublic school is located to request an evaluation. If your child receives special education services and you want your child to continue receiving those services while enrolled in the nonpublic school, you must request those services in writing no later than June 1 before the school year in which services are to be provided. The Smithtown Central School District Board of Education annually adopts policies for the District. A copy of the District policy book is available for review in each building. The specific policies highlighted below are those of primary interest to the school/community. STUDENT BICYCLE USE SEXUAL HARASSMENT Students riding their bicycles on school property must comply with New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law 1238 which requires that children between the ages of 1 year and 14 years wear a safety helmet that meets ANSI 190.4 Safety Standards or a comparable standard. The Board of Education is committed to safeguarding the right of all employees, students, or members of the public within the School District to an environment that is free from all forms of sexual harassment. All individuals associated with this District, but not necessarily limited to the Board of Education, the administration, the staff, students, and members of the public while on school property or on a school related activity are expected to conduct themselves at all times so as to provide an atmosphere free from sexual harassment. Therefore, the Board condemns and prohibits all behavior of a sexual nature which is either designed to extort sexual favors or which has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. Any person who engages in sexual harassment while acting as a member of the school community will be in violation of this policy. Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to unwelcome flirtation, sexual advances, propositions, continual or repeated verbal abuse of a sexual nature, use of sexually degrading words or actions and the display of sexual suggestive pictures. Sexual harassment in the school, on District property, or on a school related activity by any employee, student, or member of the public is a serious violation for which the appropriate disciplinary action will be taken and may lead to personal, legal and financial liability. Any employee, student, or member of the public who believes that he/she has been subjected to sexual harassment should make a complaint immediately to any of the following: his/her supervisor, principal, Assistant Superintendent for Personnel, or his/her designee. Complaints will be investigated promptly and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. No member of the school community will suffer retaliation or intimidation as a result of using the internal complaint procedure. STUDENT ATTENDANCE Parents/guardians are responsible, under the School Attendance Laws of New York State, for their children’s regular attendance and punctuality. Excused absences include: personal illness, illness or death in the family, impassable roads or unsafe travel conditions, religious observance, quarantine, required court appearances, medical appointments, approved court appearances, approved cooperative work programs, military obligations, or participation in school sponsored and approved activities. If a student is or will be absent, his/her parent/guardian is expected to phone the school on the first day of such absence, and to indicate the anticipated duration of the absence. Furthermore, a written excuse must accompany the child when returning to school after an absence. The reason for the absence and dates covered must be included in the note. The note must be signed by the parent or guardian. In compliance with the New York State law, the District adopted a comprehensive attendance policy that was implemented in the 2003-2004 school year. Current attendance requirements are clearly delineated in the secondary school handbooks. EXCLUSION OF STUDENTS POSSESSING FIREARMS The Board of Education has determined that if and when a student brings or has in his/her possession a weapon, as the term is defined in Title 18 U.S.C. section 921, to a school in the Smithtown Central School District, that student shall be excluded from school for a period not less than one year. The Superintendent of Schools may modify such exclusion requirement on a caseby-case basis in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and after affording the student such due process as may be required. Legal Reference: Public Law 103-227, Title X, Part B Legal References: Title VII 703, Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended 45 Federal Regulation 74676 issued by EEOC, Section 296 (1)(a) of the NYS Executive Law. DRUG FREE SCHOOLS NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT OF 2001 The Board of Education of the Smithtown Central School District is committed to the prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use/abuse. This policy describes the philosophy of the Smithtown Central School District and the program elements the District will use to promote healthy life styles for its students and staff and to inhibit the use/abuse of alcohol, tobacco, performance enhancing drugs, and other substances. No person may use, possess, sell, or distribute alcohol or other controlled substances, nor may use or possess drug paraphernalia, on school grounds or at school-sponsored events, except drugs as prescribed by a physician. The inappropriate use of prescription and over-the-counter drugs shall also be prohibited. Additionally, the following persons shall be prohibited from entering school grounds or school-sponsored events: any person exhibiting behavior, or physical characteristics indicative of having used or consumed alcohol or other psychotropic substances. The District will use the following principles as guides for the development of its substance use/abuse prevention efforts and for any disciplinary measures related to alcohol and other substances: According to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, public schools are now legally required to release names, addresses, and telephone numbers of secondary students to military recruiters or institutions of higher education upon request. Parents or guardians may request in writing, that their child’s name, address, and telephone listing not be released without prior written parental consent. These requests should be addressed to the Principal’s Office, Smithtown High School West 100 Central Road, Smithtown, NY 11787-1696 or Smithtown High School East, 10 School Street, St. James, NY 11780-1800. 1 2 3 4 Alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use/abuse is preventable and treatable. Alcohol and other substance use/abuse inhibits the District from carrying out its central mission of educating students. The behavior of the Board of Education, the administration, and all school staff should model the behavior asked of students. While the District can and must assume a leadership role in alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use/abuse prevention, this goal will be accomplished only through coordinated, collaborative efforts with parents, students, staff and the community as a whole. In addition, if your child attends a school that receives Title I federal funds, under No Child Left Behind federal legislation, you may request information regarding the qualifications of your child’s teacher(s). This information includes the New York State license the teacher holds, as well as the degree, major, and field of discipline of the teacher’s certification or degree. If you would like this information regarding your child’s teacher(s), please submit your written request to: the Assistant Superintendent for Personnel Services, Smithtown Central School District, 26 New York Avenue, Smithtown, New York 11787. To assure compliance with federal No Child Left Behind guidelines, the Board of Education has adopted a Parental Involvement Policy. It recognizes the rights of parents/guardians to be fully informed of all information relevant to their children who participate in programs and projects funded by Title I. A copy of the District policy book, which includes this policy, is available for review in each building. CODE OF CONDUCT All members of the school community are expected to abide by the Code of Conduct. Complete copies of the Code of Conduct are available for review in each school building.
