SMOKE FREE POLICYA policy on smoke-free grounds was passed in 1989. The Forest Lake School District is dedicated to providing a healthy, comfortable and productive environment for staff, students and citizens. The School Board is concerned about the health of its employees and also recognizes the importance of adult role modeling for students. Therefore, the Board promotes non-smoking among its employees, students and parents. This means there is no smoking in any district-owned building, vehicle or on any school or district-owned grounds. SPECIAL EDUCATIONForest Lake Area Schools is committed to fulfilling the obligations of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The fundamental principles behind these federal laws are that students with disabilities are provided a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. This means that the district has systems in place to identify, evaluate and provide educational services to students with disabilities in a manner that is as similar to their non-disabled peers as deemed appropriate. Parents and students have a right to request an evaluation if they suspect the student has a disability that affects their educational progress. The district employs licensed special education teachers, therapists and psychologists to conduct the evaluations. Parents and students have a right to be part of the educational team that determines the methods of evaluation, the interpretation of the evaluation results and the development of the Individual Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan should one be required. Parents and students who have questions regarding the process can contact the Educational Service Administrator at 651-982-8356 or the Director of Special Education at 651-982-8131.
The Elementary School Student code of conduct is in effect from the time a student arrives at the bus stop and boards the bus at the beginning of the day until the student gets off the bus and leaves the bus stop at the end of the day as well as times when students are participating in school-sponsored activities. Parental /guardian involvement and cooperation are vital in the discipline process. The elementary discipline procedures will apply and be consistently enforced at all elementary schools. At the same time, the School board realizes the uniqueness of each building and recognizes that there may be individual building and classroom procedures to implement and supplement these District procedures. All elementary staff and parent/guardians will work together to correct the misbehavior of the student and to maintain a written record of incidents of serious misbehavior. Measures to correct misbehavior will depend upon the nature of the behavior, the frequency and the willingness of the student to correct the undesirable behavior The use of these measures is intended to encourage acceptable behavior. Corrective action will normally begin at the minimal level and proceed to more serious action. |
