Central Dauphin School DistrictHandbookAttendanceBoard Policy 204 AttendanceThe Board requires that school age students enrolled indistrict schools attend school regularly, in accordance withstate laws. The educational program offered by the districtis predicated upon the presence of the student and requirescontinuity of instruction and classroom participation in orderfor students to achieve academic standards and consistenteducational progress.Please reference the website www.cdschools.org forthe complete attendance policy or contact a school or thedistrict office for a paper copy.Absences: Excused and Unlawful/UnexcusedParents are encouraged to call the school office whentheir child will be absent from school but you must still send awritten note as well.Excused absence includes the absence of a pupil forany one of the following reasons: illness, quarantine, death inimmediate family or a prior approved educational trip.Unlawful/Unexcused (unlawful are for 16 years or youngerbased on compulsory school age per School Code andunexcused are for 17 years or older) absence is the absenceof a pupil for any reason other than those classified aboveor failure to turn in a written excuse in a timely manner (seeRequired Notes below). Students will not receive credit for anyschool work assigned on unlawful/unexcused absences, unlesswithin 3 school days that student voluntarily attends a staffdetermined make-up session and completes and submits theassignment at the end of the make-up session for a class theymissed. In addition to measure taken based on district attendancepolicy and the PA School Code, other punitive measureswill result for when unexcused/unlawful absences accumulate.An accumulation of 18 unlawful/unexcused absences mayresult in a loss of credit for the year.Required Notes - After each absence a student is giventhree (3) days to turn in a written excuse to the office upontheir return. If note(s) are submitted after three days, theabsence becomes unexcused or unlawful. Although a phonecall is encouraged to the school for each absence, a writtenexcuse within 3 school days is still required. A doctor’s certificateshall be required for absence due to illness, for three (3)or more consecutive days, or for a shorter period if requestedby the school.After three (3) days of unexcused/unlawful absence, anofficial three (3) day notice as required by Pennsylvania law,is served to the parents/guardians. This constitutes a firstoffense. This first offense notice is considered a warning.After the first offense, any half (.5) days or more constitutesan additional offense. If additional offenses occur, theparent/guardian is subject to a fine or imprisonment in accordancewith the compulsory attendance laws of Pennsylvania.An accumulation of unexcused/unlawful absences may alsoresult in other disciplinary measures.Students shall be required to submit a doctor’s noteshould they accumulate a number of absences that equal orexceed 10 school days for the current school year. A doctor’scertificate shall be required for absences due to illness, forthree (3) consecutive days, or for a shorter period if requiredby the school. Any absences from school (tardy or early dismissal)that are not accounted for by an appropriate note areaccumulated as unlawful/unexcused attendance.TardinessA pupil is tardy if not in the homeroom/classroom whenthe bell signal for the opening of school session is given. Incase of tardiness, the pupil must report to the office beforegoing to homeroom or class. Any early dismissal that is unexcusedwill be recorded as a p.m. tardy.At both the secondary and elementary levels, unexcusedtardy time is considered unlawful absence time from school.Therefore, accumulated tardy time may be pursued in TruancyCourt under compulsory education violations.At the Elementary Level – After the third (3rd) unexcusedtardy, a “Building Principal’s Letter” will be sent tothe parents/guardians. After the fifth (5th) unexcused tardy,a “District Official Tardy Letter” will be sent to the parents/guardians and a parent/guardian meeting will be scheduledwith the school counselor.

Three Mile IslandNuclear StationEmergency Plan for Incidents at TMIIn July 1982, the Pennsylvania EmergencyPlanning Agency verbally approved the CentralDauphin School District’s Radiological EmergencyResponse Plan for Inci dents at TMI Nuclear Station.This outline summarizes concepts and action thatwill be taken by the Central Dauphin School Districtshould an incident occur at the facility.The following summarizes concepts and action that willbe taken by the Central Dauphin School District shouldan incident occur at the nuclear facility, Three MileIsland.The Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) consists of an areaof about ten (10) miles in radius around the fixed nuclearfacility at TMI. This area includes:Conewago Township,Derry Township, Highspire Borough, HummelstownBorough, Londonderry Township, Lower SwataraTownship, Middletown Borough, Paxtang Borough,Royalton Borough, South Hanover Township, SteeltonBorough, Swatara Township and the city of Harrisburgsouth of I-83, Lower Paxton Township as far north asUnion Deposit Road and Nyes Road to and including RedTop Road to the township line.Public and nonpublic schools within the EmergencyPlanning Zone included in the Central Dauphin SchoolDistrict Response Plan are: Chambers Hill Elementary,Lawnton Elementary, Paxtang Elementary, RutherfordElementary, South Side Elementary, Swatara MiddleSchool, Tri-Community Elementary, Circle School, Phase4, and St. Catherine’s Laboure. It is the responsibility ofthe Central Dauphin School District to evacuate each ofthese buildings to a location outside of the ten (10) mileEPZ.All students attending the above schools will be evacuatedto Central Dauphin Middle School, 4600 Locust Lane,Harrisburg, except for students from St. Catherine’s whowill be evacuated to E. H. Phillips Elementary School,100 Oakmont Road, Harrisburg. Students will remain atthese two host schools until released to their parents/guardians through proper release procedures as establishedby their respective schools.

Inthe event of a Three Mile Island incident, parents shouldturn their radios to The Cumulus Media and The ClearChannel Stations and television stations 8, 21, 27, Fox 43and WITF. Additionally, the district will use the parentnotification system to provide information on the statusof the incident and the steps being taken to complywith the directives from the Dauphin County EmergencyManagement Agency or the Pennsylvania EmergencyManagement Agency.IncidentAn incident is an event for a condition at a nuclear powerplat which could result in impact on public health andsafely. Five incident classes have been identified fromthe least serious to the most serious:Event of Potential Public Interest- An event thatoccurs that may be of significance to the public suchas medical emergencies and other non- radiologicalrelated events.Unusual Event- Unusual events are in process or haveoccurred which indicate a potential degradation ofthe level of safety of the plant or indicate a securitythreat to facility protection. No releases of radioactivematerial requiring off –site response or monitoring areexpected unless further degradation of safety systemoccurs.Alert- Events are in process or have occurred whichinvolve an actual or potential substantial degradationof the level of safety of the plant or a securityevent that involves probable life threatening risk tosite personnel or damage to site equipment becauseof HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected tobe limited to small fractions of the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guideexposure levels.Site Area Emergency- Events are in process or haveoccurred which involve actual or likely major failuresof plant functions needed for protection of the publicor HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damageor malicious acts; 1) toward site personnel orequipment that could lead to the likely failure of, or2) prevents effective access to equipment neededfor the protection of the public. Any releases are notexpected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guide exposurelevels beyond the site boundary.General Emergency- Events are in process or haveoccurred which involve actual or imminent substantialcore degradation or melting with potential for lossof containment integrity or Hostile Action that resultsin an actual loss of containment integrity or HOSTILEACTION that results in an actual loss of physical controlof the facility. Releases can be reasonably expectedto exceed EPA Protective Action Guide exposure levelsoffsite for more than the immediate site area.Parents/GuardiansPlease cooperate with school administration by followingthese recommendations:a. Do not try to enter schools within the ten (10)-mile EPZonce an evacuation has been ordered.b. Upon entering a school building outside the ten (10)-mile EPZ, please abide by the regulations establishedby school officials. Remain calm. Properly identifyyourself. Before leaving with your son/daughter be certainhis/her name has been taken off the class register.c. Each building principal will have a plan of action pertainingto incidents at TMI. Review the plan of operationat PTO/PTA meetings, so that you are familiarwith the procedures that will be followed. If you have aquestion, please ask the building principal.d. Should an incident at TMI be announced, two of themost critical problems will be communications andtransportation. Parents are urged to listen carefully topublic announcements over the Emergency BroadcastSystem and those received through the parent notificationsystem. It is extremely important that you keepthe school informed of any change in phone numbersor address. Avoid calling or driving to schools locatedin the ten (10)-mile EPZ. Your cooperation in implementingthis plan will be absolutely necessary if we areto protect the health and safety of our children.e. Remember to take time to establish a family communicationsplan and personal response plan. Reviewyour plans of action with each member of your family.Should an order to evacuate be issued, you will not beallowed back into the 10-mile EPZ.

GeneralInformationA Message to ParentsEducation comes only from personal effort. The schoolcan provide opportunity and assistance. The school cannotdo its best work without the cooperation of the home.Parental cooperation involves:1. Checking on the pupil’s home study, providing aquiet place for it, and seeing that it is done well.2. Giving attention to report cards. Report cards aredistributed every nine (9) weeks.3. Visiting the school.4. Seeing that social functions do not interfere with thepupil’s studies and rest.5.

Assisting in maintenance of regular attendance.Parents sometimes unthinkingly keep pupils outof school for trivial reasons.13. Encouraging habits of promptness, obedience,courtesy and respect for authority and property.Accident InsuranceThere is no reduction of premium for coverage duringpart of the year. While it is recommended that all pupils beprotected by this accident coverage, it is a school requirementthat a pupil must have purchased this protection, becovered by equivalent insurance, or sign a waiver before he/she may participate in any extracurricular activity.The Central Dauphin School District Board hasapproved the following policy regarding school insuranceand participation in extracurricular activities.“All pupils, in order to participate in any of the extracurricularactivities of the school program, must be coveredby pupil insurance or parents must certify to equivalentcoverage under private insurance policies, or sign a waiver.”A form will be provided upon request to certify this coverage.Coverage includes the regular school sessions, goingto and from school and all school-sponsored and schoolsupervisedactivities except interscholastic football on thehigh school level.The Central Dauphin School District will not be responsiblefor medical or dental expenses incurred by pupilsparticipating in extracurricular activities, including athletics,that are in excess of the coverage provided by therequired school insurance.In the event of an accident, the pupil is responsible tonotify the teacher in charge, so that an accident form maybe completed and submitted to the school nurse.

Virtually any building constructedbefore the late 1970s contained some asbestos. Intact andundisturbed asbestos materials generally do not pose a healthrisk. Asbestos materials, however, can become hazardouswhen, due to damage or deterioration over time, they releasefibers. If the fibers are inhaled, they can lead to healthproblems, since as cancer and asbestosis.In 1986, Congress passed the Asbestos HazardEmergency Response Act (AHERA) which requires schoolsto be inspected to identify any asbestos containing buildingmaterials. Suspected asbestos-containing building materialswere located, sampled (or assumed) and rated according tocondition and potential hazard. Every three years, the CentralDauphin School District (CDSD) conducts a reinspection bya Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry licensedasbestos inspector to determine whether the condition of theknown or assumed asbestos containing building materials(ACBM) has changed and to make recommendations onmanaging or removing the ACBM. The last inspection wasconducted on June 30, 2008. Periodic surveillance of allasbestos containing materials occurs every six months.The law further requires an asbestos management plan tobe in place by July 1989. CDSD developed a plan, as required,which has been continually updated. The plan has severalongoing requirements: publish a notification on managementplan availability and the status of asbestos activities; educateand train its employees about asbestos and how to dealwith it; notify short-term or temporary workers on thelocations of the asbestos containing building materials; postwarning labels in routine maintenance areas where asbestoswas previously identified or assumed; follow set plans andprocedures designed to minimize the disturbance of asbestoscontaining building materials; and survey the condition ofthese materials every six months to assure that they remainin good condition.It is the intention of CDSD to comply with all federal andstate regulations controlling asbestos and to take whateversteps are necessary to ensure students and employees ahealthy and safe environment in which to learn and work. Youare welcome to review a copy of the asbestos managementplan in school district administrative office (600 RutherfordRoad, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17109) or administrativeoffice of the school during regular business hours. Mr. GilbertTunney (Director of Building and Grounds) is our designedasbestos program coordinator, and all inquiries regarding theasbestos plan and asbestos-related issues should be directedto him at (717)545-4703.
