PREFACE
To Students and Parents:
Welcome to school year 2007–2008! Education is a team effort, and we know that
students, parents, teachers, and other staff members all working together can make this a
wonderfully successful year for our students.
The Borden County I.S.D. Student Handbook is designed to provide a resource for some
of the basic information that you and your child will need during the school year. In an
effort to make it easier to use, the handbook is divided into two sections:
Section I—REQUIRED NOTICES AND INFORMATION FOR PARENTS—with
notices that the district must provide to all parents, as well as other information to assist
you in responding to school-related issues. We encourage you to take some time to
closely review this section of the handbook; and
Section II—INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS —organized
alphabetically by topic for quick access when searching for information on a specific
issue.
Please be aware that the term “the student’s parent” is used to refer to the parent, legal
guardian, or any other person who has agreed to assume school-related responsibility for
a student.
Both students and parents should become familiar with the Borden County I.S.D. Student
Code of Conduct, which is a document adopted by the board and intended to promote
school safety and an atmosphere for learning. That document may be found as a separate
document sent home to parents and available in the principal’s office.
The student handbook is designed to be in harmony with board policy and the Student
Code of Conduct. Please be aware that the handbook is updated yearly, while policy
adoption and revision may occur throughout the year. Changes in policy or other rules
that affect student handbook provisions may be made available to students and parents
through newsletters and other communications.
In case of conflict between board policy or the Student Code of Conduct and any
provisions of the student handbook, the provisions of board policy or the Student Code of
Conduct that were most recently adopted by the board are to be followed.
After reading through the entire handbook with your child, keep it as a reference during
this school year. If you or your child has questions about any of the material in this
handbook, please contact the principal.
Also, please complete and return to your child’s campus the following required forms
provided in the forms packet accompanying this handbook:
Parental Acknowledgment and Student Directory Information Form; and
Release of Information to Military Recruiters and Institutions of Higher Learning
Form.
