Alma Mater
Hail, Alma Mater,
We, thy sons and thy daughters, sing;
Hail, Alma Mater,
To thee will our praises ring.
In the quiet paths of learning,
Thou has led us on our way;
And in defeat or victory
From us thou wilt never stray.
We pledge our love and loyalty
To thee, our Fulton High!!!
Fulton Boy
For every Fulton Boy is hard to beat;
He’s just a 100 per from head to feet.
He’s got the style; he’s got the smiles;
He’s got the winning way.
No matter where you go;
You’ll recognize his ways.
And, Say! Now, there’s a boy
I’d like to know!
He’s got the good old Fulton
Pep and Go.
And just one look at him
You’re sure to see; it’s hard to beat
A Fulton Boy, Hey!!

BUILDING INFORMATION
The high school building will be open from 7:00 am until 4:30 pm on school days. Exceptions may be made if a teacher is present to supervise.
All students entering the building should use the circle-drive entrance to the Commons Area. Students are required to remain in the Commons
Area until the 7:40 a.m. bell rings. With the permission of the morning duty supervisor, students may go to the library or Guidance Office.
Teachers may also request that students be allowed in the academic area prior to 7:40 a.m. Students are not to be in classrooms or any other areas
without teacher supervision.
Any person/organization wishing to use the building or grounds should contact Fulton Public Schools Central Office at 590-8000.
All visitors must check in upon entering the building. Student guests are not permitted on school grounds or to attend classes, without
administrative approval.
Fulton Public Schools highlights programs and the achievements of students and staff in district publications and through submission of pictures,
articles, and press releases to area media. When appropriate, we allow supervised interaction between students and the press.
BUILDING SECURITY
In order to keep our campus secure, we ask that all students and guests enter through the circle drive doors during instructional hours. Nobody
should allow any person into the building or open a door for any person at this time. Guests and School District employees need to sign in at the
front office. We need an accurate account of who is in the building at all times. Deliveries will be made from time to time. Deliveries will be
made at the service entrance and delivered directly to the office.
CANCELLATION OF SCHOOL
Occasionally, due to bad weather, school may be dismissed early or cancelled.
The decision to dismiss early or to cancel a full day of school is announced on local radio and television stations as soon as a decision is made.
The district will launch the School Reach phone messaging system to call the home or cell number you have provided the school upon enrollment
of your child, and the HornetAlert text messaging system, if you have subscribed via the district web site. The district will notify TV stations
KOMU - channel 8, KRCG - channel 13, and KMIZ - channel 17. They will also notify local radio station KFAL at 900 AM and KKCA at 100.5
FM. School buses will run on those days school is cancelled in midday.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ASKS PARENTS OR GUARDIANS NOT TO CALL SCHOOLS, BUS BARN, OR TELEVISION AND RADIO
STATIONS ABOUT THE CANCELLATION OF SCHOOL. The Fulton Public Schools information line – 573-590-8014 – and the website
address – www.fulton58.org - will be updated with early dismissal and cancellation notices. Experience has proven that the great increase in
phone calls at this time can actually prevent office staff from making necessary arrangements for safe student dismissal. If your work situation
prevents you from listening to news media, please pre-designate a friend, relative or neighbor to do so for you
CELL PHONES & PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Cell phones must be on silent during regular school hours. Students needing to make/receive phone calls during the school day should use the
office phone. Students may only use cell phones during passing times and at lunch unless specifically allowed to do so by a teacher. Students may
use their phone during passing times and lunch. Students may not use cell phones or any other electronic device during instructional time
unless allowed to do so. If a teacher has classroom rules that prohibit the use of these items, the student must follow the rule. If in
violation, the phone or electronic device will be confiscated and taken to the administrative office to be claimed by the student or parent
at the end of the school day. Anytime a student is sent to the discipline office all electronic devices must be turned off and turned in to
the person working in the office. Further disciplinary action may be taken for repeat offenses. This procedure may be modified at any
time by the administration in order to meet the needs of Fulton High School.
9
COLLEGE VISIT DAYS/JOB SHADOWING
The purpose of college days is for students to spend a day getting first-hand knowledge of colleges, technical schools, or vocational/technical
schools that they are considering attending. Job shadowing at Fulton High School is a community worksite-based learning experience for high
school seniors through which students will obtain valuable information about their chosen career pathway through observation and reflection on
the experience. Students should not be paid for their experience, nor should they actually perform the work. Their job is to observe, question, and
take notes.
A college/job shadow day is considered an excused absence. To have the day not count against Perfect Attendance seniors must get a College
Visit and/or Job Shadow Form completed and returned to the Attendance Office. Students will then receive a Verification Slip to be signed by a
college/job representative. Seniors are allowed three (3) College Visit/Job Shadow days for the school year. Students may use one of their days
during their junior year with prior approval from administration.
DANCE REGULATIONS
All dances held at or by Fulton High School will observe the following general rules:

Fulton High School dances.
3. Once students leave the dance, they may not re-enter.
4. Any conduct judged irregular by any dance sponsors would result in dismissal from the activity with the possibility of persons
involved having further disciplinary action taken against them.
DANCE ROYALTY:

for. Teachers should have their class rosters with them.
All teachers are to make sure students conduct themselves in an acceptable manner. During an actual tornado or other disaster, it is crucial that
good discipline be stressed and that everyone remain calm.

FINAL EXAMS
In order to better prepare our students for higher education, Fulton High School believes that it is imperative for students to learn quality study
habits. In order for students to understand the preparation and retain the subject material pre-identified courses will have mandatory finals. The
following are classes that students will take finals in:
*English I
*English III
*English III Honors
*English IV Comp
*English IV Comp Honors
*AP Literature/Comp

*Cultural Studies-Social Studies
*US History
*US History Honors
*AP US History
*Genetics Honors
*Chemistry Honors
*Advanced Biology Honors
*Human Anatomy and Physiology
*AP Advanced Chemistry
*AP Physics I Honors
Final examinations are to be used as a method of evaluating student achievement. They should be conducted in such a manner that they
effectively evaluate the achievement of the goals and objectives on which learning activities have been based. The exam should count no more
than 10 % of the semester grade. Departments, through yearly review meetings with the building principal, will determine the type and form of
semester exams.
Missed Final Exams must be made up within one week of the last day of the semester, unless an extended time period has been granted by the
administration. An "I" is recorded in the final exam column when a student does not take a final exam. The student will be given no credit for the
exam and the grade changed to a “0” after make-up exams are administered. This will all take place if the student does not take the final exam
and if opting out is not an option.
If the student scores proficient and/or advanced on the MAP/EOC in the subject the year before, the student will be allowed to opt-out of the final
in that subject for the following semester.
FOOD AND DRINK
Each teacher is responsible for the rules of their classroom. Snack and drink machines will be available before and after school only. No
food or drink is permitted in the Allbritton Theater, All Computer Labs, Science Labs, and Library.
GRADES AND REPORTS
Fulton High School operates on the semester plan. Grades are recorded on the permanent records and credit is given for each semester's work.
Progress reports are given at the end of six and twelve weeks into each semester and are not recorded on the permanent record. GPA’s are
figured at the end of each semester.
Parents may have access to their student’s daily records via the web Parent Portal on the Fulton Public Schools Website. Parents must complete
and return the Parent Portal Permission Form available in the Principal’s Office.
GRADING SYSTEM
1. The letter grades to be placed on report cards will include the following categories only:
A 100-95%
C+ 79-77%
D- 62-60%
A- 94-90%
C 76-73%
F 59% or below
B+ 89-87%
C- 72-70%
I Incomplete
B 86-83%
D+ 69-67%
P Pass
B- 82-80%
D 66-63%
NC No Credit
There will be a gradation of scores within each letter grade. Plus and minus signs are used to differentiate between the extremes in each
letter. In addition, special symbols and terms appropriate to the non-graded program may be used to indicate student progress. Exceptional
pupils shall be evaluated according to their Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
2. Grades are based on the accumulation of total points for the semester.
3. The six and twelve-week grades are a mid-semester progress grade only.
4. A mark of "I" is given when the teacher feels it is desirable to delay the final grade for any reason. Its primary purpose is to give students who
have had an extended absence due to illness a reasonable time to make up their work. A grade of “P” means that credit is given for
graduation purposes at Fulton High School. This grade will be used for special situations and summer school classes only. A “P” is not
calculated into GPA.
5. All teachers will take the necessary class time at the beginning of each school year to ensure that students are informed of the grading system.
6. All components used in assigning grades must carry the numerical possible scores as well as the actual point total earned.

Grade point averages are figured each semester on a cumulative basis in grades 9-12.
HIGH DISTINCTION HONOR ROLL & HONOR ROLL
The High Distinction Honor Roll and Honor Roll provide recognition of students who have achieved superior grades in class work. These are
computed at the end of the First and Second Semesters and reported to the local newspaper for publication. All classes in the regular school
curriculum will be used in determining the semester grade average.
Based on a 4-point scale, a student must have a 3.5 to 4.0 to qualify for the High Distinction Honor Roll. A student must have and a 3.0 to 3.499
to qualify for Honor Roll. A student may not have any grade below a C- to qualify for either.
ISUCCEED
iSucceed is a reward/intervention program started during the 2011-12 school year to encourage students to improve their academic status and
behaviors. Initially students are rewarded with free time during intervention. They are allowed to go to the classroom of their choice, to the
commons, and/or the gym during intervention. They maintain this privilege as long as they maintain their status. At any time a student’s status
can be taken for poor behavior or not living up to expectations academically. Additionally students may lose their status for not following school
expectations (an example would be excessive tardies).
In addition students will:
1. Maintain all grades at C- or higher for the term.
2. Not receive excessive tardies.
3. No more than 3 late assignments per term per class (tracked per class and maintained by teacher).
4. No missing assignments at the end of each term.
All of these indicators may be modified to best fit the needs of Fulton High School students, faculty and administration. Final determination will
be made by FHS principal.
16
LIBRARY
The Fulton High School Library is located in a central part of the instructional area. Library hours are from 7:15 am until 3:45 pm. If a student
wants to use the library before school, they should secure a pass the day before from their hourly teacher, or that morning secure a pass from the
teacher/administrator on duty in the Commons, then report directly to the library. Students may use the library during their lunch shift by
obtaining a pass from the lunch supervisor. No food or drink is allowed in the library.
Most library materials may be checked out for a period of three (3) weeks and renewed for an additional two (2) weeks (there is an overdue fee).
The library is to be used for READING OR STUDYING. The librarian has the authority to dismiss students who jeopardize the quiet nature of
the area. Instruction in the use of the library will be given as part of classroom orientation.
LOCKERS
Lockers are available for students throughout the building. Lockers should be kept locked at all times and students should not tell other students
their locker combination. Promptly report all lockers that will not work properly to the Assistant Principal's office. Immediately report all thefts
to the Assistant Principal’s Office.
Although lockers have individual combination locks, they are subject to inspection by school authorities at any time. STUDENTS ARE
NOT PERMITTED TO SHARE LOCKERS.
Each student who takes physical education will also be assigned a locker in the physical education area. He/she will be responsible for
providing a combination lock for security of valuables in the physical education area. Students are not allowed on the gym floor unless
participating in Physical Education classes or under the supervision of a staff member.

procedures.
19
OPEN LUNCH
There are times throughout the year where students are rewarded with an “Open Lunch”. Open Lunch is a privilege, not a right. The student
must present their ORIGINAL iSucceed card or whatever ticket they have earned to go. Students should not be checked out during an Open
Lunch. If a student is checked out without documentation during this time period, they will be counted as truant and can receive disciplinary
action. If instances of abuse take place, Fulton High School may remove Open Lunch privileges for one, some or all students. All campus and
school rules apply while you are on open lunch.
We ask that students take pride in their community while they are on Open Lunch. Remember this is a privilege for you.
OUT-OF SCHOOL SUSPENSION
Suspension is a very serious disciplinary action. Any student who is suspended must adhere to these restrictions:
1. The student is not permitted in the school building or on any Fulton Public School grounds without specific permission from the
principal.
2. The student is not permitted to participate in any school function or extra-curricular activity while under suspension.
3. The student is not permitted to participate in any school function or extra-curricular activity until he/she attends a full day of classes after
returning to Fulton High School.

5.
Cases not serious enough to refer to the Board of Education shall be addressed in the following manner:
a.
The students will be told the exact number of days they are suspended or that they are suspended until they bring their
parents to school.
b.
A letter will be written to the parents outlining the nature of the offense(s), the length of time for which they are suspended,
and the conditions under which they may return without having the case referred to the Board of Education. This letter
should be mailed the same day of the suspension, but not later than the following day. A duplicate of the letter will be filed
in the student's individual folder in the Assistant Principal's office. A triplicate copy of this letter will be sent to the
superintendent's office.
6. (In cases where the superintendent has suspended a student for more than ten (10) days, Missouri School Law 167.171 will apply.)
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Parent/Teacher conferences are held at the end of the six and twelve week grading period for each Semester. Parents may pick up progress
reports during these times. If there are questions, teachers will be available for conferences. A calendar for reporting and issuing grade
reports will be developed by guidance and administration for each reporting period.
TARDY PROCEDURES
Students are expected to be in class with appropriate materials before the bell sounds. Failure to be on time to class will result in disciplinary
action. Tardies will accumulate on a semester basis. The tardy policy to be used is as follows: 6-9 will result in a 1 hour Wednesday detention,
tardies above number 10 will result in a 4 hour Wednesday detention. Wednesday detentions are one (1), two (2), or four (4) hours in length
beginning at 3:15pm and ending at 7:15pm. Students are responsible for their own transportation.
VOTING AND ELECTIONS
During the school year there are times when elections are held for the purpose of electing queens, kings, or candidates for some position or an
award. Rules for the conduction of all voting need to be established. Some of these basic rules are:
1. Details of the purpose of the voting shall be made available to eligible voters via the daily announcements and notices will be
published at least three (3) days prior to the date of the election.
2. Official ballots will be made for each election. Only official ballots will be counted. Any vote made other than on an official ballot
will be thrown out of the election.
3. Sponsors and an administrator will count the votes prior to the winner being announced.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE
The Student Code of Conduct is designed to foster student responsibility, respect for others, and to
provide for the orderly operation of district schools. No code can be expected to list each and every
offense that may result in disciplinary action; however, it is the purpose of this code to list certain
offenses which, if committed by a student, will result in the imposition of a certain disciplinary
action. Any conduct not included herein, any aggravated circumstance of any offense, or any action
involving a combination of offenses may result in disciplinary consequences that extend beyond this
code of conduct as determined by the principal, superintendent and/or Board of Education. In
extraordinary circumstances where the minimum consequence is judged by the superintendent or
designee to be manifestly unfair or not in the interest of the district, the superintendent or designee
may reduce the consequences listed in this policy, as allowed by law. This code includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, acts of students on district property, including playgrounds, parking lots and
district transportation, or at a district activity, whether on or off district property. The district may
also discipline students for off-campus conduct that negatively impacts the educational environment,
to the extent allowed by law.
Reporting to Law Enforcement
It is the policy of the Fulton School District No. 58 to report all crimes occurring on district property
to law enforcement including, but not limited to, the crimes the district is required to report in
accordance with law. A list of crimes the district is required to report is included in policy JGF.
The principal shall also notify the appropriate law enforcement agency and superintendent if a
student is discovered to possess a controlled substance or weapon in violation of the district's policy.
In addition, the superintendent shall notify the appropriate division of the juvenile or family court
upon suspension for more than ten days or expulsion of any student who the district is aware is under
the jurisdiction of the court.
Documentation in Student's Discipline Record
The principal, designee or other administrators or school staff will maintain all discipline records
as deemed necessary for the orderly operation of the schools and in accordance with law and policy
JGF.
Conditions of Suspension, Expulsion and Other Disciplinary Consequences
All students who are suspended or expelled, regardless of the reason, are prohibited from
participating in or attending any district-sponsored activity, or being on or near district property or
the location of any district activity for any reason, unless permission is granted by the superintendent

or designee. In addition, the district may prohibit students from participating in activities or restrict
a student's access to district property as a disciplinary consequence even if a student is not suspended
or expelled from school, if appropriate.
In accordance with law, any student who is suspended for any offenses listed in § 160.261, RSMo.,
or any act of violence or drug-related activity defined by policy JGF as a serious violation of school
discipline shall not be allowed to be within 1,000 feet of any district property or any activity of the
district, regardless of whether the activity takes place on district property, unless one of the following
conditions exist:
1.
The student is under the direct supervision of the student's parent, legal guardian, custodian
or another adult designated in advance, in writing, to the student's principal by the student's
parent, legal guardian or custodian, and the superintendent or designee has authorized the
student to be on district property.
2.
The student is enrolled in and attending an alternative school that is located within 1,000 feet
of a public school in the district.
3.
The student resides within 1,000 feet of a public school in the district and is on the property
of his or her residence.
If a student violates the prohibitions in this section, he or she may be suspended or expelled in
accordance with the offense, "Failure to Meet Conditions of Suspension, Expulsion or Other
Disciplinary Consequences," listed below.
Prohibited Conduct
The following are descriptions of prohibited conduct as well as potential consequences for
violations. Building-level administrators are authorized to more narrowly tailor potential

STUDENT ABSENCES AND EXCUSES
(Grades 9–12)
As directed by the Board, the following procedures will be used to implement the district's
attendance policy.
Definitions
Attendance – A student is considered to be in attendance if the student is physically present in a
class; participating in a district-sponsored or district-approved activity; participating in a class
through alternative methods or media as allowed by Board policy; receiving homebound services;
or receiving services at another location pursuant to law or by arrangement of the district. Student
absence will be classified as excused or unexcused.
Parent – A parent, guardian or person acting as a parent in the absence of the parent or guardian if
the student is under 18. If the student is 18 or otherwise emancipated, the student will serve as the
parent for purposes of this procedure; however, the parent will be notified if listed as the student’s
contact individual in district databases.
Tardy – A student is tardy if the student arrives after the expected time class or school begins, as
determined by the district. Tardiness will be counted as an absence in situations where the student
arrives too late to have meaningful participation in the class, lesson or activity. Student tardies will
be classified as excused or unexcused.
Truancy – A student is truant if the student is absent from class or school without the knowledge and
consent of the parents and the administration. A student is also considered truant if the student
leaves school without the consent of the principal or accumulates excessive unjustifiable absences,
even with parental consent. Truancy is a type of unexcused absence.
Early Pick Up – A student may be picked up from school prior to the end of the regular school day.
Students picked up early will be classified as excused or unexcused.
Attendance Standards
1.
The following absences will be excused for five days per semester (code as P).
Documentation must be provided as indicated.
A.
Illness or injury of the student, with verification from a parent or guardian.
B.
Medical appointments, with written appointment confirmation by medical provider.

E.
Other appointments that cannot be scheduled outside attendance hours, such as court
appearances, with parent verification.
F.
Visits with a parent or legal guardian who is an active duty member of the military
who has been called to duty for, is on leave from, or is immediately returned from
deployment to a combat zone or combat support posting, with permission of the
superintendent or designee.
2.
Absences in excess of five days per semester are excused when documentation from a source
other than a parent is provided to the school (code as V).
3.
All other absences in excess of five days per semester and any absence for which required
documentation is not provided are unexcused (code as A).
Consequences for Violations
Students will be expected to make up all assignments from missed classes regardless of whether an
absence is excused or unexcused. Each teacher may set reasonable limits regarding the timeframe
in which missed work may be completed. Attendance and participation are part of a successful
learning experience.
The district will contact the Children's Division (CD) of the Department of Social Services or the
local prosecutor in cases where the district has a reasonable suspicion that a student's lack of
attendance constitutes educational neglect on the part of the parents or that parents are in violation
of the compulsory attendance law. No such action will be taken unless other strategies and
interventions have been implemented and proven ineffective.
Attendance Rewards
Each term students with an attendance rate of 95 percent, no more than three tardies and qualifies
for isucceed without any discipline referrals will be permitted three open lunches per term during
the following term. Students will achieve this status in one term and be awarded the privilege in the
next available term. Any student who is in violation of the attendance reward procedure will
automatically have privileges revoked for the rest of the term. In addition, any student who is
checked out during an “open” lunch must be approved by the building principal or the absence will
be counted as a truancy.

Critical
Any student who carries a 95 percent attendance rate, who qualifies for iSucceed, no more than five
tardies, and no more than one discipline referral (cannot be an OSS or APC placement) will be
allowed to opt out of finals.
Notice and Due Process
A summary of the Board-adopted attendance policy and related procedures will be published in
student and other handbooks and posted on the district's website. In addition, students and their
parents will be notified prior to the imposition of any consequence and given the opportunity to
appeal the imposition of the consequence to the superintendent. On appeal, the student and his or
her parents may present evidence that the student has missed fewer days than the district's records
show or that an absence recorded as unexcused should have been recorded as excused. An appeal
will not be taken based on whether the reason for the absence justifies an exception to this rule.
Intervention and Engagement Strategies
The district will utilize the following intervention and engagement strategies as part of the district’s
overall approach to improve student attendance and achievement. The superintendent or designee
will:
1.
Conduct community-wide public relations efforts that stress the importance of school
attendance.
2.
Collaborate with community groups and other organizations that engage youth in activities
to create a consistent message about the importance of education.
Building-level administrators and staff will:
1.
Contact the family every time a student is absent.
2.
An attendance letter will be sent once a student has reached five days to alert the family that
additional absences will be unexcused unless documentation is provided.
3.
Additional attendance letters will be sent for every five days of unexcused absences.
4.
Assign truant students to academic support, detention or in-school suspension rather than
out-of-school suspension.
5.
Assign students who are frequently absent to a staff mentor or participation in a group
advisory program.

6.
Assign students to mentoring during non-academic time or outside of the regular academic
day.
7.
Provide resources to access behavioral counseling, including information about community
resources.
8.
Encourage family meeting sessions with the principal and/or designated staff.
9.
Maintain the attendance challenge trophy.
10.
Post attendance numbers and percentages each day to make students and staff aware of the
attendance rate. Create friendly competition by posting attendance rates by grade level or
class. Individual student attendance information will not be publicly posted.
Evaluation
Principals, with the assistance of building staff, will conduct annual evaluations of all strategies used
to improve student attendance. The evaluations will include:
1.
A summary of which strategies are being implemented.
2.
The number of participants.
3.
Records of targeted interventions for particular students.
4.
Changes in overall attendance rates.
5.
Changes in attendance rates and academic achievement of students participating in the
various strategies.
6.
Changes in attendance rates and academic achievement of individual students receiving
targeted intervention.
7.
Any other data that can be used to assess the effectiveness of strategies and interventions.
Strategies found to be ineffective will be modified or replaced. The principal will provide evaluation
information to the superintendent.

TECHNOLOGY USAGE
The Fulton School District No. 58's technology exists for the purpose of enhancing the educational
opportunities and achievement of district students. Research shows that students who have access
to technology improve achievement. In addition, technology assists with the professional enrichment
of the staff and increases engagement of students' families and other patrons of the district, all of
which positively impact student achievement. The district will periodically conduct a technology
census to ensure that instructional resources and equipment that support and extend the curriculum
are readily available to teachers and students.
The purpose of this policy is to facilitate access to district technology and to create a safe
environment in which to use that technology. Because technology changes rapidly and employees
and students need immediate guidance, the superintendent or designee is directed to create
procedures to implement this policy and to regularly review those procedures to ensure they are
current.
Definitions
For the purposes of this policy and related procedures and forms, the following terms are defined:
Technology Resources – Technologies, devices and services used to access, process, store or
communicate information. This definition includes, but is not limited to: computers; modems;
printers; scanners; fax machines and transmissions; telephonic equipment; mobile phones; audiovisual equipment; Internet; electronic mail (e-mail); electronic communications devices and services,
including wireless access; multi-media resources; hardware; and software. Technology resources
may include technologies, devices and services provided to the district by a third party.
User – Any person who is permitted by the district to utilize any portion of the district’s technology
resources including, but not limited to, students, employees, School Board members and agents of
the school district.
User Identification (ID) – Any identifier that would allow a user access to the district’s technology
resources or to any program including, but not limited to, e-mail and Internet access.
Password – A unique word, phrase or combination of alphabetic, numeric and non-alphanumeric
characters used to authenticate a user ID as belonging to a user.
Authorized Users
The district's technology resources may be used by authorized students, employees, School Board
members and other persons approved by the superintendent or designee, such as consultants, legal
For Office Use Only: EHB-C.1F (6/12)

FILE: EHB
Critical
counsel and independent contractors. All users must agree to follow the district’s policies and
procedures and sign or electronically consent to the district's User Agreement prior to accessing or
using district technology resources, unless excused by the superintendent or designee.
Use of the district’s technology resources is a privilege, not a right. No potential user will be given
an ID, password or other access to district technology if he or she is considered a security risk by the
superintendent or designee.
User Privacy
A user does not have a legal expectation of privacy in the user's electronic communications or other
activities involving the district’s technology resources including, but not limited to, voice mail,
telecommunications, e-mail and access to the Internet or network drives. By using the district's
network and technology resources, all users are consenting to having their electronic
communications and all other use monitored by the district. A user ID with e-mail access will only
be provided to authorized users on condition that the user consents to interception of or access to all
communications accessed, sent, received or stored using district technology.
Electronic communications, downloaded material and all data stored on the district’s technology
resources, including files deleted from a user’s account, may be intercepted, accessed, monitored or
searched by district administrators or their designees at any time in the regular course of business.
Such access may include, but is not limited to, verifying that users are complying with district
policies and rules and investigating potential misconduct. Any such search, access or interception
shall comply with all applicable laws. Users are required to return district technology resources to
the district upon demand including, but not limited to, mobile phones, laptops and tablets.
Technology Administration
The Board directs the superintendent or designee to assign trained personnel to maintain the district’s
technology in a manner that will protect the district from liability and will protect confidential
student and employee information retained on or accessible through district technology resources.
Administrators of district technology resources may suspend access to and/or availability of the
district’s technology resources to diagnose and investigate network problems or potential violations
of the law or district policies and procedures. All district technology resources are considered
district property. The district may remove, change or exchange hardware or other technology
between buildings, classrooms or users at any time without prior notice. Authorized district
personnel may install or remove programs or information, install equipment, upgrade any system or
enter any system at any time.

Critical
Content Filtering and Monitoring
The district will monitor the online activities of minors and operate a technology protection measure
(“content filter”) on the network and all district technology with Internet access, as required by law.
In accordance with law, the content filter will be used to protect against access to visual depictions
that are obscene or harmful to minors or are child pornography. Content filters are not foolproof,
and the district cannot guarantee that users will never be able to access offensive materials using
district equipment. Evading or disabling, or attempting to evade or disable, a content filter installed
by the district is prohibited.
The superintendent, designee or the district's technology administrator may fully or partially disable
the district's content filter to enable access for an adult for bona fide research or other lawful
purposes. In making decisions to fully or partially disable the district's content filter, the
administrator shall consider whether the use will serve a legitimate educational purpose or otherwise
benefit the district.
Online Safety, Security and Confidentiality
In addition to the use of a content filter, the district will take measures to prevent minors from using
district technology to access inappropriate matter or materials harmful to minors on the Internet.
Such measures shall include, but are not limited to, supervising and monitoring student technology
use, careful planning when using technology in the curriculum, and instruction on appropriate
materials. The superintendent, designee and/or the district's technology administrator will develop
procedures to provide users guidance on which materials and uses are inappropriate, including
network etiquette guidelines.
All minor students will be instructed on safety and security issues, including instruction on the
dangers of sharing personal information about themselves or others when using e-mail, social media,
chat rooms or other forms of direct electronic communication. Instruction will also address
cyberbullying awareness and response and appropriate online behavior, including interacting with
other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms.
This instruction will occur in the district's computer courses, courses in which students are
introduced to the computer and the Internet, or courses that use the Internet in instruction. Students
are required to follow all district rules when using district technology resources and are prohibited
from sharing personal information online unless authorized by the district.
All district employees must abide by state and federal law and Board policies and procedures when
using district technology resources to communicate information about personally identifiable
students to prevent unlawful disclosure of student information or records.

All users are prohibited from using district technology to gain unauthorized access to a technology
system or information; connect to other systems in evasion of the physical limitations of the remote
system; copy district files without authorization; interfere with the ability of others to utilize
technology; secure a higher level of privilege without authorization; introduce computer viruses,
hacking tools, or other disruptive/destructive programs onto district technology; or evade or disable
a content filter.
Closed Forum
The district’s technology resources are not a public forum for expression of any kind and are to be
considered a closed forum to the extent allowed by law. The district’s webpage will provide
information about the school district, but will not be used as an open forum.
All expressive activities involving district technology resources that students, parents/guardians and
members of the public might reasonably perceive to bear the imprimatur of the district and that are
designed to impart particular knowledge or skills to student participants and audiences are
considered curricular publications. All curricular publications are subject to reasonable prior
restraint, editing and deletion on behalf of the school district for legitimate pedagogical reasons. All
other expressive activities involving the district’s technology are subject to reasonable prior restraint
and subject matter restrictions as allowed by law and Board policies.
Records Retention
Trained personnel shall establish a retention schedule for the regular archiving or deletion of data
stored on district technology resources. The retention schedule must comply with the Public School
District Records Retention Manual as well as the General Records Retention Manual published by
the Missouri Secretary of State.
In the case of pending or threatened litigation, the district's attorney will issue a litigation hold
directive to the superintendent or designee. The litigation hold directive will override any records
retention schedule that may have otherwise called for the transfer, disposal or destruction of relevant
documents until the hold has been lifted by the district's attorney. E-mail and other technology
accounts of separated employees that have been placed on a litigation hold will be maintained by the
district's information technology department until the hold is released. No employee who has been
so notified of a litigation hold may alter or delete any electronic record that falls within the scope of
the hold. Violation of the hold may subject the individual to disciplinary actions, up to and including
termination of employment, as well as personal liability for civil and/or criminal sanctions by the
courts or law enforcement agencies.

Violations of Technology Usage Policies and Procedures
Use of technology resources in a disruptive, inappropriate or illegal manner impairs the district’s
mission, squanders resources and shall not be tolerated. Therefore, a consistently high level of
personal responsibility is expected of all users granted access to the district’s technology resources.
Any violation of district policies or procedures regarding technology usage may result in temporary,
long-term or permanent suspension of user privileges. User privileges may be suspended pending
investigation into the use of the district’s technology resources.
Employees may be disciplined or terminated, and students suspended or expelled, for violating the
district’s technology policies and procedures. Any attempted violation of the district's technology
policies or procedures, regardless of the success or failure of the attempt, may result in the same
discipline or suspension of privileges as that of an actual violation. The district will cooperate with
law enforcement in investigating any unlawful use of the district's technology resources.
Damages
All damages incurred by the district due to a user's intentional or negligent misuse of the district's
technology resources, including loss of property and staff time, will be charged to the user. District
administrators have the authority to sign any criminal complaint regarding damage to district
technology.
No Warranty/No Endorsement
The district makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed or implied, for the services,
products or access it provides. The district's technology resources are available on an "as is, as
available" basis.
The district is not responsible for loss of data, delays, nondeliveries, misdeliveries or service
interruptions. The district does not endorse the content nor guarantee the accuracy or quality of
information obtained using the district's technology resources.

the use of the district’s technology resources for the benefit of its students or waste district resources.
Any use that jeopardizes the safety, security or usefulness of the district’s technology resources or
interferes with the effective and professional performance of the employee’s job is considered
unreasonable. Unless authorized by the employee's supervisor in advance, employees may not
access, view, display, store, print or disseminate information using district technology resources that
students or other users could not access, view, display, store, print or disseminate.
External Users
Consultants, legal counsel, independent contractors and other persons having business with the

e-mail must do so in writing to the building principal. As appropriate, project e-mail accounts may
be granted for educational activities for students in grades K–8 at the request of the classroom
teacher. Student e-mail accounts may be provided directly by the district, through the content
management system of an approved online course, or through a district-approved provider.. Students
should check e-mail frequently, delete unwanted messages promptly, and stay within the e-mail
server space allocations. E-mail attachments are limited to 25MB or smaller. Internet access to
personal e-mail accounts is not allowed.
Communication Devices
Employees and others to whom the district provides mobile phones or other electronic
communication devices must use them professionally and in accordance with district policies,
regulations and procedures. These devices shall not be used in a manner that would distract the

STUDENT USE OF PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES
The Fulton School District No. 58 recognizes that students increasingly have access to and are using
personal electronic devices for many purposes, including educational purposes. The Board
authorizes the superintendent and building principals to designate classes, grade levels and/or
buildings where teachers are encouraged to utilize and incorporate personal electronic devices into
their instruction and lesson plans in accordance with this policy. Teachers who incorporate such
technology into their classrooms shall, with the assistance of the principal or designee, make
accommodations for those students who do not have access to personal electronic devices. No
student shall be penalized in any fashion for failure to own or have access to personal electronic
devices.
Definitions
District Networks – Include both wired and wireless networks maintained by the district.
Personal Electronic Devices – Include, but are not limited to, electronic communication equipment
such as laptops, portable media players, mobile phones, smart phones, tablet computers and video
game devices owned by a student or a student's parent/guardian.
Acceptable Use
Possession or use of any personal electronic device on district property is a privilege, and students
who fail to abide by this policy may forfeit this privilege.
When approved by the building principal, students will be allowed to bring personal electronic
devices to school for use during the school day in the designated classrooms. Each building
administrator, under the direction of the superintendent or designee, shall determine the appropriate
areas of the school where students may use personal electronic devices and the extent to which such
devices will be incorporated into the classroom curriculum.
Students may use personal electronic devices during the school day only if the student and
parents/guardians sign and agree to the terms of the district's personal electronic devices agreement
and the district's technology usage agreements unless excused by the superintendent or designee.
Students shall only access the Internet through district-provided networks during the school day.
Student devices with a data plan through the student's or parent's/guardian's mobile provider must
have the external network turned off when on school premises during the school day. The district
will utilize a technology protection measure, such as a filter, on all district networks. Students shall
not bypass or attempt to bypass the district's networks through any means.
For Office Use Only: EHBA-S.1A (12/12)
Page 1
52
FILE: EHBA
Basic
Possession or use of personal electronic devices must not in any way disrupt the educational process
in the school district, endanger the health or safety of the student or any other person in the district,
invade the rights of others at school or involve illegal or prohibited conduct.
All use of personal electronic devices during the school day shall be for appropriate educational
purposes only, not for personal use, and shall be consistent with the educational objectives of the
district. Students using personal electronic devices must follow the same rules that apply to the use
of district-provided technology. The district may examine the student's device to the extent allowed
by law. The district administration may involve law enforcement if the district has reasonable
suspicion that the device has been used for an illegal purpose or for a purpose that causes harm to
others.
Failure to abide by this policy shall subject the student to disciplinary action as outlined elsewhere
in Board policy.
District's Wireless Network
The district does not guarantee that the district's wireless network is completely secure or that the
district can protect the privacy of those using the district's wireless network. The district does not
guarantee that all areas of the district shall have wireless coverage or that the wireless service level
will be consistent from day to day. The district is not responsible for any loss of information that
may arise from the use of the district's wireless network or for any loss, injury or damages resulting
from the use of the wireless connection.
District Responsibility
The district will not be responsible for technological support of students' personal electronic devices,
and students are required to ensure that all devices are free from viruses before bringing them to
school.
Students who bring personal electronic devices to school do so at their own risk. The district
assumes no responsibility for lost, stolen, damaged or misplaced devices, including those that have
been confiscated by district personnel.
