NON-DiscrimiNAtiON/Diversity stAtemeNtIn keeping with the Franciscan tradition of care for all people, especially the poor and neglected, St. Francis High School continues to promote and af-
firmitscommitmenttodiversitybycreatinganenvironmentforourstaffandyoungmenwhichisrespectfulandinclusiveofall.FaithfultothemissionofSt.Francis High School we want to develop young men of diverse faiths and cultures who are able to use their knowledge for the good of society and to see the goodness of each individual in our multi-cultural world. It is our intention to empower our young men to live Gospel values and accept all in the way that we are accepted by Jesus Christ, who fostered respect and love for all.
“Whereas: The philosophy of St. Francis High School is based on the Christian Social Principles of the Gospel Message - to love and respect the right of all people;
“It is the Policy of St. Francis High School that it shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educationalpolicies,admissionspolicies,scholarshipsandfinancialaidprograms,athleticandotherschooladministrationprograms.St.FrancisHighSchoolstrives to create a diverse community where all members are safe respected and valued.
“It is also the policy of this school that it shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, national origin, sex, or age.”
cell phONes• Cell phones are a distraction to the educational process. Each morning students will be reminded to “turn off their cell phones,” by the PA system. Students should be aware of the following rules as they apply to cell phones:•Cell phones must be turned off and put away during the school day. The cell phone must be out of sight during the school day. Students may not wear a cell phone attached to their belt and should not have the phone out for any reason during the school day (8:15 a.m. – 2:06 p.m.) •StudentswhoareusingacellphoneforanyreasonduringtheschooldaywillhavethephoneconfiscatedandturnedintotheMainOffice.Studentswillbeassignedonehourofdetentionfortheirfirstviolation.•Thesecondviolationwillresultindetention(s)andthenthephonewillremainintheMainOfficeuntilitispickedupbyparent/guardian.•Whenastudent’scellphoneisconfiscateditmaybe“searched”byaschooladministratortoensureithasnotbeenusedforcheatingorthatitdoesnotcontainmaterialthat would be harmful or criminal. •IfastudentneedstocontactaparentduringtheschooldayhemustgototheMainOfficeorseeanAdministrator.
AtteNDANceThe objective of the St. Francis High School attendance policy is to encourage consistent attendance, since consistent attendance is integral to the
student’s comprehensive mastery of course material. Additionally it is the belief of the school that consistent attendance helps build a healthy work ethic that will help prepare students for their future. Recording and tracking of student attendance is also mandated by New York State Law. In an effort to encourage consistent attendance and communicate attendance patterns to individual students, parents/ guardians, and school personnel the school follows the policies listed in the Student Handbook.
