Each student attending a St. Martin Parish public school has the right to a quality education.  It is the purpose of the St. Martin Parish School Board to operate each school that will provide an orderly process of education and that will provide for the welfare and safety of all students.  In accordance with that purpose, the St. Martin Parish School Board shall maintain a Student and Parent Handbook and Discipline Policy, which is reviewed and revised annually to remain in compliance with state and federal regulations. Policies and changes shall be reviewed annually with administrators and staff.

 

Each principal or designee shall be required to plan and implement an effective means of orientation concerning the Student and Parent Handbook and Discipline Policy with emphasis on revisions which have occurred during the past year.  Such orientation shall be conducted for teachers during preschool planning and for students during the first few weeks of school.  Following the orientation, all students in homeroom classes shall receive a standard form to take home and return with their parents' signatures verifying that the parents have received a copy of the handbook or current revisions.
