Code of Conduct Introduction to CLC Collège Lorette Collegiate has a proud heritage within the community of Lorette. The school boasts a dual track setting offering a French Immersion Program, and an English Program. As well as offering an academic program, in both official languages, Collège Lorette Collegiate offers an Apprenticeship Program, in the indentured trades, to students that are interested in technical vocational education. Our school population is drawn from the communities in Lorette, Ile Des Chênes, and Ste. Anne in south-eastern Manitoba. Students attend Collège Lorette Collegiate primarily from our partner schools within the Seine River School Division. These schools are Dawson Trail Elementary School, École Lorette Immersion, École Ste. Anne Immersion, and École Iles Des Chênes School. Collège Lorette Collegiate operates as a regular high school where students may take courses that lead to attaining a high school diploma upon graduation. Students learn in a variety of ways, and in order to accommodate this, teachers will support student learning in various ways. Students may take courses in a traditional manner, inside and outside of the regular classroom, within industry, or with other accommodations if required. Students are supported in a learning environment that is stimulating, challenging, and progressive. Collège Lorette Collegiate has a wide range of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities to offer. These activities take place after school, on weekends, and during the noon hour. We offer a very successful basketball program and hockey programs for boys and girls. Many other teams, and activities are offered, including a Tech Club, Writer’s Club, Newsletter Committee, Yearbook Committee, and a Student Leadership Program, to name a few. Above all, we, at Collège Lorette Collegiate pride ourselves on the fact that we care about our students and their success. Collège Lorette Collegiate welcomes you to our school, and invites you to succeed in a caring, safe environment.

This type of system provides for greater flexibility for individualized student programs and timetables. The school year is divided into two equal blocks of time. The first block runs from September to January, and the second block from February to June. Those courses that are in a semester will be taught in either block of time, and are completed at the end of the particular semester. Annual courses will be taught all year long. Students in Grade 9 will take most of their compulsory courses in the annual system, which occur in the morning from September to June. Grade 9 elective courses occur in the afternoon and are on the semester system. The semester system courses occur from September to February, and February to June. Back to General Information Credit System and Diplomas Manitoba Education requires that students accumulate a minimum of thirty (30) credits for graduation from high school (Grade 9 t0 12), provided that all mandatory courses have been successfully completed. In order for a student to achieve a credit in a course, the student must obtain a minimum of 50% in that course. A student who has successfully completed the minimum number of credits will graduate from Collège Lorette Collegiate with an Academic Diploma, granted by the Seine River School Division. The graduating student will also receive a graduation diploma from the Province of Manitoba. To graduate with a French Immersion Diploma, students require 30 credits (as in the regular English Program). However, 21 of these credits must be in French. To graduate with a Technology Diploma (Apprenticeship Program), students require 30 credits (as in the regular English Program). However, a maximum of 8 credits can be awarded from the Apprenticeship Program. For more detailed information, please consult the Manitoba Education website : www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/policy/grad_require.html Graduation Information General Graduation Information A letter indicating all graduation information for the upcoming school is sent home to all Grade 11 students in June prior to their Grade 12 year. All dates relative to graduation, fundraising, grad pictures, etc. are listed in the letter. A copy of that information will also be posted on the school website. Graduation Fees Graduation fees will be assessed for every Grade 12 student who will be graduating. The fee may be paid in instalments during the course of the year at pre-determined dates. Fees assessed are to pay for the rental of the hall, graduation gowns, dinner, music, etc. A letter will be sent home in June to potential graduates indicating all graduation information, including fees, instalment dates, etc. Graduation with Honours and Honours with Distinction Students graduating with Honours will have maintained an average of 80% in their graduating year, and will receive a white cord at graduation. Students graduating with Honours with Distinction will have maintained an average of 90% in their graduating year, and will receive a gold cord and medal at graduation.

Parents and Safe Grad Parents are responsible for the offering and the implementation of Safe Grad. An initial meeting is held early in the school year for the parents of graduating students to assist in the organization of the Safe Grad Parent Committee. Information will be sent home early in the school year. CLC School Information Grade 9 Transition Program All students entering Collège Lorette Collegiate at the Grade 9 level will benefit from a transitional system whereby students follow an annual system in the mornings and a semester system in the afternoons. It has been found that this type of system helps to ease the transition into the high school setting and provides for a structure that enhances academic success. Assessment, Evaluation, and Reporting Students are evaluated on a per course basis, and they will receive a numerical mark for each course that he or she is enrolled in. Student evaluation at Collège Lorette Collegiate takes place through the use of a variety of assessment tools. Students will be required to complete term assignments, authentic assessments, portfolios, projects, formal tests, school-based examinations, and provincial Grade 12 examinations. School-based examinations are set and designed by individual classroom teachers and make up part of the summative assessment. These examinations will take place at the end of each semester for all students. Provincial examinations are set by Manitoba Education and are administered to Grade 12 students. All student’s marks are reported in a percentage format. Parents shall receive four formal reports per year. In Semester 1, a mid-term report will be sent out in November; the final report will go out at the end of January at the completion of Back to General Information Semester 1. In semester 2, the mid-term report will be sent in April and the final report at the end of June. In addition to formal reports, progress reports containing student progress to date, current assignments and an attendance summary will be sent home, either via the mail or by students, at the end of each month. Should parents have some concerns in regard to a student’s progress, the options of calling the school, contacting the teacher via email, or setting up an appointment always exists. Parent-teacher interviews are scheduled twice per year. Each session is scheduled before the mid-term of each semester. A registration letter will sent out via the mail to sign up for appointments with teachers. Once all appointments are set up, an appointment sheet will be sent home with the student. If parents are unable to attend we encourage them to make an appointment to meet with the teachers at another time outside of class hours. Honour Roll In order for students to achieve Honour Roll status, the following conditions must be met: Honours -80% average in the term, with no one mark less than 70%. Distinction –90% average in the term, with no one mark less than 70%. Insurance A student who is injured is asked to report the injury immediately to the classroom or supervising teacher on duty. This will ensure that first-aid can be administered if necessary and that accident reports will be filled out for insurance purposes. Please ensure that you are fully covered, either through your family insurance or by taking our Board recommended Accident Insurance. Although optional, student accident insurance is recommended for those students involved in inter-scholastic sports. School Pictures Individual student pictures will usually be taken in September. The date will be published early in September and will be posted on the school website. School Closure Due to Inclement Weather In case of severe weather conditions, school bus transportation may not operate. In such circumstances the school will be closed. Announcements to this effect will be broadcast on CJOB, CBC and CKY starting at 7:00 a.m. School closure information will also be posted on our Divisional website at www.srsd.mb.ca. Back to General Information School Lockers Only combination locks will be allowed on the lockers. These locks are provided by the school and are covered in the student fees. A locker will be assigned to students once their student fees have been paid. The school will not assume responsibility for lost or stolen property. In case of problems with the locker, students are asked to inform the office. The Principal, or designate, reserves the right to enter any locker when deemed necessary. School Fees Student Fees Students will be assessed a student fee for the school year, on a yearly basis. For those families that have more than one child at our school, we have established a family rate for two, three, and four students from the same family.

The choices include a school based activity, an outside activity , and a practicum. The outside activity usually involves a cost as it involves participating at a facility outside of the school. These include golf courses, driving ranges, etc. Sports Fees Due to the rising costs of organized sports, a sports user fee will be assessed to the participating students. These fees will be established prior to the start of the school year and students/parents will be informed of the amount during registration.

Back to General Information Code of Conduct Code of Conduct All students, staff, parents, and guests to our school, are required to act in accordance with our expectation that we while in attendance at school, school activities, or school events. School Discipline Guidelines The Seine River School Division has clear policies in place with regard to student discipline. In addition to these guidelines, our school has adopted the following procedures in response to student misconduct that contravenes our Code of Conduct. Within these procedures, it is expected that the principal or designate will use his/her professional discretion in making any judgments and decisions. The process of discipline will be progressive in nature. Underlying this progressive discipline approach is the belief that students will learn from their actions. For most infractions against our school code of conduct, the following procedures may take place: STEP 1 The student is given a verbal warning from the principal or designate. STEP 2 The student is given a verbal warning from the principal or designate, and the student’s parents are informed. STEP 3 The student is suspended from 1 to 3 school days. STEP 4 The student is suspended from 1 to 5 school days. STEP 5 The student is suspended from 1 to 5 school days. STEP 6 The student is suspended for 5 school days, with a recommendation to the Superintendent’s department to extend the suspension from 1 to 6 weeks. STEP 7 The student is suspended for 5 school days, with a recommendation to the Superintendent’s department to expel the student from the school, and/or school division. The principal or designate, when dealing with these types of incidents will use his or her professional discretion in rendering any judgments with regard to consequences. The following definitions exist for use with disciplinary steps. Back to General Information Harassment Physical violence: any fighting, pushing, rough housing, etc. Emotional abuse: any insults, profanity and discrimination, verbal or written. Sexual harassment: any unwanted comments (verbal or written) and/or inappropriate touching. Vandalism Any act that destroys, devalues, or damages school or personal property. Weapons The following, though not exhaustive, is a list of incidents viewed as most serious, and will be dealt in accordance with the level of seriousness. These incidents can include vandalism, harassment, weapons, drug use, and alcohol use, possession of instruments considered dangerous, and threats with instruments considered dangerous. Drug and Alcohol Use Students under the influence of drugs or alcohol while in attendance at a school event or function, or while in school. Students are declared under the influence of drugs or alcohol by the principal or designate, in accordance with the Public Schools Act. Students found to be in possession of prohibited substances will also be suspended from school beginning at Step 2. For these serious infractions against our school code of conduct, the following procedures may take place: STEP 1 The student will be suspended for 1 to 3 days, at the discretion of the principal or designate. The principal or designate may impose additional sanctions, for example, restitution, notification of police, etc. STEP 2 The student will be suspended for 1 to 5 days, at the discretion of the principal or delegate.

STEP 4 The student is suspended for 5 school days, with a recommendation to the Superintendent’s department to expel the student from the school, and/or school division. Back to General Information Absenteeism Procedures Attendance for Grade 9 to 12 students is based on course attendance. Attendance will be taken for every class by the course teacher, and submitted to the office by 3:00 p.m. daily. An automated-dialer will contact the student’s residence on a daily basis informing of the student’s absence. The attendance policy is based on total absences from a course. At a point determined by the teacher, in consultation with the vice principal, and having previously consulted with the student, and his/her parents, the credit for that course may be suspended. If the student's attendance is unsatisfactory, it is expected that, in addition to the regular reports occurring at mid-term and term end, parents must be notified by the classroom teacher, prior to involving the principal or designate. Once the credit has been suspended, the student must meet certain criteria set up by the teacher, principal or designate, with input from the parents, to regain the credit. One of the criteria that will be common to all cases\courses will be regular attendance in the remainder of the classes. Due to the individuality of the courses being taught, the point at which a credit may be suspended will be determined by the teacher, again in consultation with the vice principal. PROCEDURAL STEPS OF THE ATTENDANCE POLICY Step 1 Attendance will be taken for each course each period, sent to the office by 3:00 p.m. daily, and be entered in the school's records. A call back system will be in place to notify parents daily if the student is absent. Step 2 Teachers will monitor students, as always, consulting with students if attendance problems become evident. It is also expected that teachers will notify parents if problems become evident. Step 3 Based on documentation, approaches, and actions taken to date by the teacher to cause a change, the teacher will recommend to the principal or designate the suspension of credit. Step 4 After consultation with the principal or designate, the teacher will give notification to the student that the credit has been suspended. At that point, the principal or designate will set up a meeting with the parents, student, and teacher to establish the criteria for the credit to be regained. When the criteria and school expectations are fulfilled, the credit will be reinstated Back to General Information Nutrition Philosophy Statement CLC recognizes its responsibility in cooperation with the home and community to encourage healthy lifestyles for our students. We recognize and acknowledge the important role nutrition plays in the development and performance of the individual. Canada’s Food Guide for Healthy Living was chosen as the basis for our school policy. We will strive to: Provide students with an education for lifelong good habits regarding food choices; Provide students and staff with access to nutritious food during the school day; Provide students with positive role models; Provide multiple opportunities through various curriculum, to develop healthy lifestyle choices; Ensure our food services (canteen and vending machines) conform with healthy food choices as outlined in Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating. Ensure our food services (canteen) practice proper food handling and food security protocols. Provide a safe eating environment that include appropriate supervision, adequate time and space to eat meals; Provide information and strategies for supporting students and staff with food related chronic diseases (URIS training, info sessions, etc.). Textbooks All textbooks are to be issued and kept track of by teachers. Teachers are to report any missing textbooks to the office where a list is maintained, and bills will be issued for the missing textbooks. Once the textbook is returned, or the outstanding bill is paid, the student’s name will be removed from the master list. If the book is not returned, or the bill is NOT paid, then the outstanding balance will be added to the student graduation fees. Tobacco Usage As per the Seine River School Division Policy, there is to be no smoking of, or chewing of, tobacco, on SRSD property for all students and staff. Appropriate Dress Students are required to dress in a manner appropriate for school. There are to be no obscene or suggestive sayings or pictures on clothing, no drug paraphernalia (pictures or other), and no racist comments or pictures. If a student should wear an article that is inappropriate, the student will be required to change. If no other clothing is available at school the student must go home to change.

ELA: Transactional Focus 40S (ETF40S) Credit Value: 1 credit Prerequisite: any ELA 30 The focus of this elective is 70% pragmatic and 30% aesthetic. Transactional language refers to those forms of communication with a pragmatic purpose; purposes most commonly associated with the world of words, research, consumerism, journalism, pop culture and education. The aim of ELA: Transactional Focus 40S is to examine and compare practical language used in newspapers, business communications, journals, magazines, advertising, etc. There is an emphasis on analytical skills, both oral and written. The student is expected to do considerable reading, writing and speaking. ELA: Literary Focus 40S (ELL40S) Credit Value: 1 credit Prerequisite: any ELA 30 The Grade 12 Literary focus emphasizes aesthetic purposes and texts. The texts to which students listen and those they read and view are approximately 70% aesthetic in purpose and 30% pragmatic. Pragmatic texts are selected as they present themselves in the process of inquiry into aesthetic texts, or as students explore sources for their own creative work. While students work as poets, playwrights, video producers, or fiction writers most of the time, they also have opportunities to compose for pragmatic purposes in the natural course of their work. This course involves an intensive study of various forms of literature: short stories, novels, plays, poetry, and film.
