ACADEMIC REPORT CARDS No student shall receive a failing grade on his/her report card unless the parents have been notified through personal contact. Communication with parents of failing students’ needs to begin at the first indication of possible failure and needs to be ongoing to monitor progress. The counseling office must also be notified. If a failing grade is issued on the report card, parents or guardians must be notified no less than 15 days before a semester ends. Regulation 2420R stats that an E or F on 12-week Progress Report is considered prior notice. Special Progress Updates need to be issued to guardians as well if students are failing. This documentation can be found in the Lincoln Mailroom. Communication must be in written form, but may be supplemented with verbal communication, as well. On all report cards and progress reports record failing grades as “E” Tacoma Public Schools does not use the mark “F” in communication with families. AESOP (FORMERLY SUBFINDER) Substitute teachers are available for the following types of leave: sick leave, family illness, emergency leave, bereavement, subpoenaed, maternity, paternity and jury duty. Please make arrangements for a substitute teacher online through AESOP. If possible, also notify the Main Office of your absence. Any other type of leave needs to be approved by administration and arranged through Ms. Yolanda McLeod (i.e. conferences, trainings, etc.). Please read the section on “Substitute teachers.” ASSEMBLIES All teachers are expected to attend assemblies. Teachers are expected to sit among the students and help monitor student behavior. The Microsoft Outlook LINCOLNCALENDAR will have the applicable assembly bell schedule. ATTENDANCE POLICY AND PROCEDURES The Lincoln High School Attendance Policy preserves the regulations as outlined by District Policy included as part of the Student Planner. Specifically, the following policy applies to Lincoln High School: Attendance must be taken within the first 10 minutes of each class period and recorded in Teacher Access Center (TAC). The following guidelines must be considered regarding attendance: 1. A permanent record of absences and tardies must be kept in eSchool Plus. The teacher must
continue recording attendance until the student returns or official notice is received that the student has been withdrawn. If a student demonstrates a pattern of absences causing concern, inquire with the attendance office, a Guidance Member and/or administrator.
2. All teachers must establish a written standards-based grading policy, within the framework of the state law and district policy, for each of their courses. This information MUST be printed, distributed, discussed, posted in the classroom, and communicated with parents.
3. Students must be given the opportunity to make up any work due to an excused absence. Teachers should establish a clearly delineated maximum time in which it may be made up.
Please contact the attendance office for any questions or concerns you may have.
Revised 9/28/2016 5
Excused Absences: Absences will be considered as excused if they are approved by the parent or guardian and are for excusable reasons including: personal illness; medical/dental appointments or services; bereavement/funeral programs/services; family illness; legal issues including court appearances; religious observations or holidays; school field trips, conferences or testing; a prearranged absence or vacation as approved by an administrator; or for other reasons which need to be determined on a case-by-case basis. A student must arrange for all make-up work with their instructor following an excused absence. Notes to excuse an absence must be received within ten (10) days of the absence or they will not be honored. If a student is absent for five (5) or more consecutive days, additional documentation and/or approval will be required. Unexcused Absences: A student is considered unexcused when he or she misses more than fifteen (15) minutes of a class period without teacher or office permission or fails to report to where he or she is directed. Parent and/or guardian contact is recommended. A student is considered as absent unexcused for reasons including oversleeping; skipping or being truant; missing the bus or having no transportation; alarm clock issues; watching siblings or taking them or other family members to school or work; leaving school grounds without permission or stopping at a store on their way in to school. Leaving School Grounds: Lincoln High School (along with all TSD schools), has a closed campus policy where you need permission to leave school grounds during the school day. For a prearranged appointment, students must submit their request for an early dismissal in writing on the morning of the day they need to leave school early. An early release will be processed and given to the student after they submit their written request to leave as long as the required information is provided and verified. No student may leave during the day without permission (See Early Dismissal Guidelines). A student who is ill during the school day is to go to the nurse (or attendance office) where contact with their parent will be made to obtain permission to excuse the student; student will be given an early dismissal pass once this contact and approval has been obtained. Students who fail to check out properly and who leave without obtaining an early dismissal slip will be subject to discipline and will be considered as truant from school. Tardiness: A student who misses up to fifteen (15) minutes of class is tardy; however, a student who is more than fifteen (15) minutes late to any class is considered absent. Teachers should track these tardies and absences in eSchool Plus. Early Dismissal Guidelines: Early dismissal guidelines for group, athletics, and Activity dismissals are as follow:
Revised 9/28/2016 6
Early dismissals will be allowed only when necessary and approved through the administration or designee. Coaches and/or advisors should notify the main office staff of students affected via email.
Private transportation requires a parent note and administrator or designee acknowledgement and consent.
A list of student names and ID numbers must be distributed to the Attendance Office, Main Office and staff at least five (5) school days in advance. Be sure to update the attendance office of any last minute changes in participating students.
It will be the effected classroom teacher’s responsibility to notify a student who, for academic reasons, will not be allowed to miss class for the planned activity.
Class dismissals are to be allowed for events only (tests, matches, assemblies, etc.) but not for preparation for the event. This policy applies to academic situations and activities.
Students who attend the activity or event after being told they will not be excused will be considered truant.

DISCIPLINE Schools have a duty to provide a safe environment that promotes student learning. Teachers are responsible for ensuring such an environment is maintained in their respective classrooms. In the event of adverse behavior, teachers may seek the support of administration and invoke the following disciplinary measures.
Revised 9/28/2016 11
Detention: Administration will assign lunch detention and after-school detention to be served in a designated location as a disciplinary consequence. Teachers may assign lunch or after school detention to be served in their classrooms. However, families must be provided twenty-four hour notice when holding a student after school. Families must be notified that transportation will NOT be provided. Under no circumstances should a student be forced to miss the bus and then walk home without parent permission. ISS (In-School Suspension): The In-School Suspension (ISS) Program is designed to minimize the need for out-of-school suspensions. It is intended to provide constructive and positive learning experiences for students who have violated the Student Code of Conduct, or need a place to de-escalate. Each student’s classroom teacher will provide work for ISS for the duration of the in-school suspension. In addition to working on school assignments, students may engage in learning activities that focus on identifying poor decisions and their consequences, as well as emphasizing the need to take responsibility and develop skills for self-management.
Office Referrals: When a student needs to be referred to administration for discipline, students should see their grade level administrator. The designations are as follow:
Grade 9: Susie Askew, 571-6661, [email protected] When making a referral, consider the following: Discipline Referrals are subject to the public records request laws and….
Will be mailed home to families when requested.
Will be provided to the courts when requested.
Will be prioritized and dealt with as soon as possible. When Writing Discipline Referrals….
Be well aware of the situation.
Use blue or black ink and write legibly.
List one student per referral.
Complete the heading, write the student’s full name and use the full date, including the year.
Check the relevant behaviors exhibited by the student.
Check interventions you attempted prior to the referral.
Give an accurate explanation of the situation without using other students’ names. Send other students’ names to administration separately for investigation purposes.
Document parent contact. Notes, as well as working phone numbers and emails are appreciated. o Call the parent or guardian’s cell phone.
Cell phones are timelier. Students cannot retrieve messages.
o Call the parent or guardian’s home phone. o Attempt the work number o Use email
Write clearly and with concision. Be cautious in word choice. Your tone may be misinterpreted. Email may be more effective after having established rapport.
DISRUPTIVE CONDUCT Disruptive conduct is defined as flagrantly and substantially interfering with teaching or learning at school activities or at school sponsored activities. Disruptive Conduct includes creating a substantial disruption to any school function, refusing to comply with a staff person’s directive, or using vulgar or profane language or obscene gestures.

Students will be asked to change and not attend class until their dress is appropriate. Clothing that demonstrates affiliation with a gang is prohibited. Examples would be students in all red or all blue, possession of a bandana, or students with hats or other attire that represent gang names. Hats and headgear, including visors and hoodies: Hats and headgear are not to be worn on campus at any time during the school day, including lunchtime. Hoodies make it difficult to distinguish Lincoln students from off campus strangers. Exceptions are on Fridays for Lincoln headgear and ASB sponsored dress up days.

No students will be allowed to leave the first 15 minutes nor the last 10 minutes of class. HARASSMENT Harassment, intimidation or bullying means any intentional electronic, written, verbal, auditory or physical act, including, but not limited to one shown to be motivated by any characteristic of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, including gender
expression or identity, mental or physical disability or other distinguishing characteristics such as, but not limited to, physical appearance, clothing or other apparel, socioeconomic status, marital status or weight, when the intentional electronic, written, verbal, auditory or physical act:
physically harms a student; or
damages the student’s property; or
has the effect of substantially interfering with a student’s education; or
is so severe, persistent or pervasive that it creates an intimidating or threatening educational environment; or
has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school. Nothing in this section requires the affected student to actually possess a characteristic that is a basis for the harassment, intimidation or bullying. “Intentional act” refers to the individual’s decision to engage in the act rather than the ultimate impact of the action(s).
Threats/Intimidation Communicating threats of violence or harm to an individual or group of individuals, directly or indirectly, whether by physical, verbal, written, telephone, or other electronic means, which cause the other person to believe his or her life, safety, or property is in danger, or which cause a listener to believe that another person’s life, safety, or property is in danger. It is not necessary that the threat be communicated to the intended victim. Threats toward Staff Making threats of violence or harm toward any person acting in their official capacity as an employee and/or agent of the Tacoma School District is against Tacoma School District policy. Staff has the right to work in a safe and non-threatening atmosphere. Tacoma Public Schools has no tolerance for students threatening staff persons. If there is a risk of violence to the staff person, the student may be expelled. Hazing Assault may be charged for hazing behaviors that involve physical violence. Initiating or harassing another student with meaningless, difficult, dangerous, or humiliating tasks through behaviors that cause, or are likely to cause, physical injury, endangerment or emotional distress. In hazing situations, club advisors, coaches, and administrators likely have not been told what will occur and have not given their approval to the activity. Targeted students may not feel that they have the choice to opt out of this activity or the opportunity to quit at any time. Evidence of hazing that falls into this category may include, but is not limited to, activities with any of the following components:
Physical harm or restraints.
Reckless endangerment or life-threatening stunts, e.g., being forced to jump off a bridge or structure, or ingest substances that may cause an allergic reaction.
Unsafe activities, such as being left alone to get out of a harmful situation at the end of the activity, e.g., in a park at night or from a locked room.
Property damage.
Illegal activity.
Revised 9/28/2016 19
Sexual Harassment It is the policy of Tacoma School District No. 10 to maintain a working and learning environment for all its employees, students, parents, volunteers and others involved in school district activities which provides for fair and equitable treatment, including freedom from sexual harassment. This policy also covers anyone else who engages in sexual harassment on school property or at school activities. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal and/or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
submission to the conduct or communication is either explicitly or implicitly made a term or condition of an individual's employment, grades, work opportunity or other benefit;
submission to or rejection of the conduct or communication is used as a factor for employment/grade decisions or other school-related decisions affecting an individual; and/or
such conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's work or school performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working/school environment.
Sexual harassment can occur adult to student, student to adult, student to student, adult to adult, female to male, male to female, female to female, and male to male. The district will take prompt, equitable and remedial action on reports and complaints that come to its attention, either through formal or informal channels. Allegations of criminal misconduct will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency and suspected child abuse will be reported to law enforcement or Child Protective Services. Individuals found to have been subjected to sexual harassment will have reasonable and appropriate school district services made available to them and adverse consequences of the harassment shall be reviewed and remedied, if appropriate. Engaging in sexual harassment will result in appropriate discipline or other appropriate sanctions against offending students, staff, and contractors. Anyone else engaging in sexual harassment on school property or at school activities will have access to school property and activities restricted, as appropriate. Retaliation against any person who makes a complaint or is a witness under this policy is prohibited and will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action. Individuals who knowingly report false allegations of sexual harassment or corroborate false allegations will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
Behavior/Expressions Harassment, intimidation or bullying can take many forms including, but not limited to: slurs, rumors, jokes, innuendoes, demeaning comments, drawings, cartoons, pranks, gestures, physical attacks, threats, hazing or other written, verbal, auditory, physically or electronically transmitted messages or images. This policy is not intended to prohibit expression of religious, philosophical or political views, provided that the expression does not substantially disrupt the educational environment. Many behaviors that do not rise to the level of harassment, intimidation or bullying may still be prohibited by other district policies or building, classroom or program rules. The goals of this policy are to foster a safe

Contact SDCM chairperson Alissa Farias ([email protected]) for more information and see the Microsoft Outlook LINCOLNCALENDAR for meeting times and locations. Any staff member is welcome to attend meetings. SCHEDULE CHANGE POLICY Students may fill out a “Schedule Change Request Form” before, after school and during lunch. Request forms are located in the Guidance Center. Five (5) days after the beginning of the semester. Changes in a student’s schedule must be reflected in Teacher Access Center (TAC) prior to implementation. Teachers are not to change a student’s schedule; Guidance Team Members will make all changes. A change in the student’s schedule must always be accompanied by a new schedule printed by the student’s Guidance Team Member and provided to the student.
Dropping Courses: If, after the 15th school day of a semester, a student elects to drop a class, the record (e.g. student transcript) will show "E" and the grade will be computed in the student's grade point average. Exceptions may be made in individual cases upon the request of the teacher and approval of the principal. Students under 18 must have parent permission to withdraw from a class. The form requesting a drop must be completed before the class is dropped.
SCHOOL RULES Student behavior at Lincoln High School is governed by the following four rules: 1. Respect Yourself 2. Respect Others 3. Respect Staff 4. Respect Public and Private Property
We use a 15-10 rule: no hall passes during the first 15 or last 10 minutes of a class.
Overall, if a staff person’s directive to a student is ethical, moral and legal, the student must comply. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action. Please see “Discipline” for additional information. SEMINAR LHS seminar is a community of scholars dedicated to the development of strong character and intellectual engagement. Mondays during the seminar period are for advisory lessons. Tuesdays through Thursdays are for academic support, although the advisory lesson may have elements that continue through the week, lasting less than 10 minutes during the following days. Teacher leaders will send all staff the lessons that are utilized during advisory: Ideas/Strategies utilized at the start of seminar (Tuesday – Thursday): 1. Silent 15 – no talking to others during the first 15 minutes of seminar. Everyone working
independently. No going to other classrooms for help. After 15 minutes allowing students to work with others on like subjects.
2. Post-It / Scratch Paper agenda – writing down 3 things “to do” during seminar that day. 3. Planner organization – updating the calendar and making notes about EACH class, even if
there wasn’t homework. 4. Group planning – putting students’ names on notecards with magnets on the backs, putting
subjects on the marker board, having students plan out what they will do individually and if they would like to work with others doing the same subject (see attached photo).
Ideas/Strategies throughout seminar: 1. Use proximity (walk around and talk with them) with students – check up on their daily
progress with 3 questions: a. What are you working on today? b. What is your goal/plan for this week? c. How can I help you?
2. Ask students what they think a good seminar should/could look like. Use your professional judgment and set up norms that align with the schools’ mission, vision, and rules.
3. Tell (with words) and show (with actions) that you care about the students’ success – that the purpose of seminar is to give them tools for success during advisory Mondays and time to do scholarly work Tuesday through Thursday.
4. Be a generalist (CES principle #8) and try to figure out things with students before sending them to another classroom. If you don’t “do calculus” or don’t “do Spanish” work with the struggling student to find solutions online. Model lifelong learning. Likewise, use the wisdom of other students to help those who are struggling.
From our SCDM discussion: Seminar teachers are expected to use proximity and be regularly interacting with students. It is not to be used for personal planning, or by sitting at your desk catching up. Best practice requires engaging, supporting and assessing students’ work.
SPECIAL EDUCATION (STUDENT SERVICES) Special Education (now termed “Student Services”) is instruction and intervention for all students. Tacoma Public Schools and Lincoln High School are implementing the Common Core State Standards through a framework of a multi-tiered system of support. This is incorporated through the use of an inclusive model which includes Least-Restrictive Environment (LRE) and access to all curriculums with support.
The following members of staff are available to assist others with inquiries, support and guidance pertaining to Student Services:
Special Education, Department Chair: Kim Eudaily, 571-6713, [email protected]
Identifying Special Education Students: TAC system provides recognition of students with “Special Academic Alert” and/or special education students with IEP’s. These flags are found following each student name on the Class List page. Determining Service Requirements for Students Special education case managers will provide teachers with an “IEP at a Glance” and a copy of the Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) requirements and goals for each special education student on the teacher’s caseload. Should a teacher have any questions about a particular special education student please contact his or her Case Manager or special education department chair, Kim Eudaily. IEP at a Glance: This form is intended to provide teachers with a brief student overview of SPED qualification, academic service areas, test data, special needs/concerns/alerts, etc. If warranted a Behavior Intervention Plan (“BIP”) will also be attached.
Student Review Team (SRT) Meeting Schedule: Weekly SRT meetings are held to document concerns related to special education students’ services. Contact case managers if you have concerns about specific students you would like raised during the meeting. SRT meetings are scheduled weekly on Thursday mornings. Anyone may send Denise Bowers (School Psychologist) the names of students of concern to add to the weekly agenda. Additional meetings may be scheduled on other days as needed. New Special Education Referrals: Before considering referring a student a few items must first be addressed. A
Parent/Teacher/Student conference must be held with the student’s entire team (teacher &
counselor) to discuss possible issues. The school grade level Psychologist and grade level admin
may also be a part of this conference.
If the concern persists six weeks of documentation of interventions/accommodations that have
been done/given to this student will be needed. The documentation should include evidence
based interventions that have been tried and sufficient data collected. This data is needed to help
make the determination if an evaluation is to occur.
The referral process encompasses a 25 school day timeline to gather this data and then meet as a
team with the parent and student to determine if an evaluation is warranted. Please remember it
is a team decision to include the teacher, parent, student, counselor, administrator, and school
psychologist.
For further question please contact the school Psychologists:
IEP Meetings: A student IEP is renewed annually at the student’s IEP meeting. The IEP meeting is scheduled by the student’s case manager, and the primary purpose is to:
Review overall performance over the past year;
Evaluate the need to change and/or modify existing goals; and
Discuss additional supports/needs that may benefit the student
IEP Meeting Requirements: Included in attendance are the parent, student, case manager, general education teachers (REQUIRED by law), Guidance Team Member, school nurse, other service providers (as required), administrator, and/or district representation. Note: For any meeting held outside the work day, teachers will be compensated. STAFF MEETINGS All staff are expected to attend unless arrangements have been made with the building administrator. There are, on occasions, emergency or special staff meetings. As much advance warning as possible will be given. STAFF WORKROOM Staff workrooms are located on each floor. Copy codes are the last five digits of staff employee numbers. As staff workrooms are shared space, please respect community materials by leaving them in their respective work areas. Staff are expected to leave workrooms clean and orderly. STUDENT DATA REPORTS For staff requesting student data reports, please make a request to Trisha Zimmerman ([email protected]). In the request, include the information needed, as well as the date by which the information is needed. For requests regarding specific students, please include the student ID numbers. Allow at least three days to process the request, though a week is preferred. SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS In the event of an absence, teachers are expected to leave a guest teacher binder in a visible location in their classroom. This binder should consist of the following information:
A letter introducing the guest teacher to your classroom, including routines to help monitor
passing periods and to greet students at the door.
Class lists and Seating charts, preferably organized by student photo (print from TAC)
Medical alerts
A general overview of the daily schedule
The names of partner teachers, classified staff, teacher’s assistants, and/or student teachers
who may be involved in a given class period
Classroom management plan, outlining routines and procedures for your class and/or what
to do in the event of misbehavior
Two (2) lesson plans to be used in an emergency situation
Names of helpful students and teachers who could be called upon, if needed.
When possible, set up students for success. Let them know expectations for work and/or task
completion, overall cooperation and behavior, and the associated consequences for failure to
meet the given expectations.
TEACHER ASSISTANT (TA) POLICY No student will be assigned without prior administrative/teacher approval. Student selection is based on citizenship, grades, and attendance. TA’s earn a P or E for the semester. TEACHER CLASSROOM EXPECATIONS As per negotiations, teachers are expected to be available in the building for 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after the scheduled school day. If a teacher needs to leave the building at any time during the day, he or she must sign out in the Main Office. Classes should never be left unsupervised. If an emergency arises, another staff member must monitor the class. Teachers are expected to assist with hallway supervision during passing periods. Please stand in doorways to greet students and monitor hallway behavior. Teachers shall maintain good order and discipline at all times (WAC 180-44-020). To meet this requirement, teachers must utilize the following expectations:
Bell to Bell Instruction: Students will not line up at the door prior to the bell. Instead, students must have all of your materials out and be actively working until the bell rings or until dismissed—whichever is most appropriate.
Student Engagement (for more detail, see Instructional Handbook under “Teacher Resources” at www.lincolnabes.org) : Students must respond when called on in class. Some strategies that teachers may use to involve all students:
Cold Call. This indicates that students are on the hook for participation and cannot anticipate when they will be called on.
No Opt Out. When students say, “I don’t know,” teachers may respond, “If you did know, what would you say?”
Ask a Question. If the answer is not known, students may be given the opportunity to ask a clarifying question.
Scaffolding. Students may be prompted with another question or a series of questions to help them better construct the concept or response.
Re-voicing or Restating. The teacher may ask another student the same question to model a response, than return to the original student and give him or her another opportunity to respond—either repeating the previous student’s response or restating it in his or her own words.
Private Reasoning Time (PRT): It is vital to give students time to contemplate all questions on their own. PRT allows students to clarify, expand, engage and even take risks. Teachers ask students to respect one another’s PRT—this means no chatting, doodling, or off task behaviors. When the teacher asks a question, remember that there is a “no hands” rule during PRT. This ensures all students are thoroughly contemplating the question and to reminds all involved that no answer is final.
SLANT: Students should be engaged in learning at all times. Heads down, whether sleeping or not, is not tolerated at any time. The acronym SLANT encourages more positive body language and behavior; SLANT stands for: S: Sit Up L: Listen A: Ask questions N: Nod T: Track the speaker with your eyes Backpacks Off, Materials Out: Students will look like they are in class for the duration of the period and prepared for learning, to that end expect students to keep their backpacks off their desks and on their chairs or under their desks. If students do not have supplies, they may borrow paper and pencil from the teacher or a peer. Students may not be left satisfied sitting without materials in front of them. Appropriate Electronic Use Electronics have the capability of being invaluable resources that support student learning. In times such as these, electronic devices may be used at the teacher’s discretion. When students use electronic devices as a distraction, however, said devices will be taken away and will not be returned until the end of the day (3:05). If students refuse to give their devices to the teacher or make losing their device an issue or disruption, the teacher may choose to give the device to or refer the student to an administrator.
TEACHER PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE Teachers are expected to commit to professional standards in practice and professional appearance. Dress must be appropriate and professional while at school and at school functions. Fridays are casual, allowing for jeans and spirit wear. TECHNOLOGY Technology has the capability of being an invaluable resource that supports student learning. In times such as these, electronic devices may be used at the teacher’s discretion. When students use electronic devices as a distraction, however, said devices will be taken away and will not be returned until the end of the day (3:05). If students refuse to give their devices to the teacher or make losing their device an issue or disruption, the teacher may choose to give the device to or refer the student to an administrator.
