PHILOSOPHY

Middlesex High School strives to maintain a high level of academic rigor where each student is challenged daily. Our goal is to help each student achieve their highest level of performance with a focus on the needs of each learner. We continually strive to improve instruction and make instructional decisions based on research, best practice, and current workplace needs. Because of this, the school continues to maintain full accreditation and reach all federal requirements. In addition, Middlesex High School offers a variety of athletic and extracurricular activities from which students can choose to participate. Elective class offerings include a variety of fine and performing art choices, as well as technical and business courses. Middlesex High School also works in conjunction with Rappahannock Community College, the Chesapeake Bay Governor’s School, and the Bridging Communities Technical Education Center to offer additional opportunities for high school and college credit. Athletically, Middlesex High School is a Class A Division school that competes as a member of the Tidewater District. MHS students also have the opportunity to compete in scholastic competitions. All of these activities enhance the academic instruction and provide the opportunity for a well-rounded education for each student.

ACADEMICS - Be prepared and successful.

OUR EXPECTATIONS

Students are expected to graduate on time. Students will come to school prepared, ready to learn, and with a successful attitude.

ACADEMIC HONESTY

Students and Faculty at Middlesex High School are expected to conduct themselves ethically and responsibly. Students are expected to adhere to strict academic honesty at all times. In preservation of a quality educational environment, students are to be held to the highest ethical academic standards.

ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE

Cheating is the unauthorized receipt or transmission of information with the intention of improving one or more individual’s academic performance. As a school community, we are committed to assisting all students in maintaining academic honesty. If students are unsure about their academic honesty on an assignment, they are expected to ask their teacher, without penalty, about the appropriate parameters of the assignment. Students are expected to cite sources correctly: taking care in directly quoting another text, paraphrasing someone else’s ideas, and using propriety information or graphics from any source (this includes the Internet). Students are to refuse to aid another student’s dishonest behavior. Students are to refuse to provide work for copying. Students who aid another student in academic dishonesty will be considered cheating themselves.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Students are expected to come to school prepared. All appropriate school supplies should be brought to school daily. Students will need a notebook, paper, pens, and pencils to be successful in school. Some math and science classes will require a graphing calculator (available upon request and issued to students). Students are responsible and financially liable for the care and safekeeping of all school supplies issued to them.

COURSE REGISTRATION AND SCHEDULING

Pre-registration for courses takes place during the second semester. No student may earn more than eight (8) credits in a single school year without approval from the principal. Every attempt will be made to honor student requests; however, scheduling conflicts may require the substitution of an alternate course. In the case of a course request where no space is available or if a conflict exists, an alternate course selection must be made.

STANDARDS OF LEARNING COURSES (SOL) COURSES

Students who are enrolled in SOL courses are expected to take the corresponding SOL test.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES

Students who are enrolled in AP courses are expected to take the corresponding AP exam. The cost of AP exams will be predominantly paid by MCPS, however, there is a nominal fee of $20 per AP test to offset the expense.

DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES

Students may choose to enroll in one or more Dual Enrollment courses offered at MHS. These courses are offered in conjunction with Rappahannock Community College. These special courses offer the student college credit when completed according to dual enrollment guidelines. All students must satisfy the appropriate COMPASS test requirement in order to enroll in the course. Dual Enrollment courses will earn college level weight when computing a student’s GPA.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES

Bridging Communities is a Regional Career Technical Center that offers juniors and seniors the opportunity to develop a trade and/or earn dual enrollment credits through RCC. The following programs are offered at BC (housed in New Kent): Pre-Engineering Tech, Computer Modeling & Simulation, Diesel Equipment, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Small Engine Technology, Pharmacy Technician, and Pre-Practical Nursing . Transportation is provided to and from New Kent for all MHS students participating in these programs.

WELDING AND INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY COURSES AT RCC

Utilizing a state-of-the-art welding training laboratory, Rappahannock Community College’s Workforce Center is collaborating with Middlesex High School to offer a 2-year program in Welding at the Glenns Campus. Designed for participants who desire to directly enter technician-level positions within local manufacturing facilities, the Welding program will provide training opportunities for those interested in pursuing employment and careers in welding both inside and outside of our service region. Juniors and seniors will receive high school CTE credit and earn industry-recognized credentials. Students acquire skillsets attached to American Welding Society certifications and must earn the industry credential prior to advancement in the program.

RCC is also offering a 2-year program in Industrial Manufacturing at the Glenns Campus. The program offers training in Mechatronics, Industrial Electrical Systems, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Fluid Power and Process Control. Designed for participants who desire to directly enter technician-level positions within local manufacturing facilities, the Industrial Manufacturing program will provide training opportunities for those interested in pursuing employment and careers in advanced manufacturing both inside and outside of our service region. Juniors and seniors will receive high school CTE credit and earn industry-recognized credentials.

DRIVER’S EDUCATION

To enroll in Driver’s Education, a student must have taken and passed Health and PE 9. Students should contact their counselor for further information. A Behind the Wheel component is also required for a valid Virginia Driver’s License. There is a fee for Driver’s Ed and students are taken out for behind the wheel on a first come/first serve basis, and according to their learner’s permit issue date.

FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION

Parents or guardians of students enrolled in Health, which contains material on family life education, may choose for their student not to participate. If so, the parent or guardian must submit a written request to the principal to opt out of the Family Life portion of the course.

ONLINE OR DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES

Several online opportunities for learning exist at MHS. Students may take online or distance learning courses for one of four reasons: 1) To enrich their learning experience with opportunities not currently present at MHS or because of extenuating circumstances, such as insurmountable scheduling conflicts, 2) To earn additional credits at an accelerated rate, where scheduling conflicts or extenuating circumstances exist, 3) To recover credit in a course that was previously failed, or 4) To recover partial credit in a course where failing grades have been earned consistently throughout the year. Before any student is to enroll in an online course, consultation with a counselor (and the principal, when appropriate) is required. The Principal will review all requests and inform the student within two weeks of approval or denial of the request. Extenuating circumstances will be reviewed by the principal.

SCHEDULE CHANGES

Schedule changes can be made by scheduling an appointment with your school counselor before September 1, 2021. Withdrawal from a course requires the signature of a parent or guardian, the appropriate teacher, and a counselor. This may be done only during the first interim grading period of the course. The student must select another course in place of the course from which he/she withdrew. Previous assignments in the new course must be completed by the student. Students need the principal’s approval to audit any course. All course level changes must be completed by the end of the first interim grading period of the course. Students are not permitted to enroll in two sequential courses simultaneously except with the permission of the content Department Chair and the Principal. If required for graduation, students who fail a course during the regular school year are expected to repeat the course during summer school, online through credit recovery, or again during the following school year. Exemptions from this policy or requests for extenuating circumstances must be approved by the principal.

COLLEGE APPLICATIONS AND TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS

It is imperative that seniors and parents of seniors read this section in its entirety. Most colleges require a complete application from students by January of a student’s senior year. It is the responsibility of the students to obtain a transcript request form as soon as possible in the fall semester. Transcript applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Students needing letters of recommendation from their counselor are required to request a transcript at least six (6) weeks prior to the application deadline. A transcript is merely statistical data, which includes a history of courses taken, grades earned, GPA, and class rank. Additionally, many colleges/universities require teacher evaluations, counselor’s letters, and other documentation that requires gathering information from many sources. Students are responsible for carefully reviewing each application for specific requirements and for informing the counselor in a timely manner of their needs. One (1) transcript is forwarded free of charge.

COUNSELING DEPARTMENT SERVICES

The primary mission of the Counseling Department is to meet with students individually and in groups to assist them in meeting graduation requirements and fulfilling academic, career, and personal/social goals. In addition, counselors also coordinate and consult with administrators, teachers, parents/guardians, school psychologists, school social worker, and community agencies to serve the needs of students.

ACADEMIC ADVISING

Counselors help students and their parents/guardians to acquire knowledge of the curricula choices available, to develop an appropriate program of studies, to arrange and interpret academic testing, and to maximize academic opportunities. Counselors provide individual, classroom, and group counseling activities to help students acquire information and develop a plan of action for post-secondary educational and career opportunities. Parents may review the materials used in all guidance and counseling activities. Parents may call the counseling secretary to set up a time to meet with the counselors for this review. Parents/guardians may also call the counseling department to arrange for individual parent/teacher conferences outside of the regular parent/teacher conference opportunities.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) CLASSES

AP Coursework requires a significant time commitment. As with the progression of grades and levels, the expectations for AP classes are higher than that of other academic classes. AP classes are also the natural extension to the MHS honors curriculum. Please meet with your school counselor for help with time management, balance, college advising, and dealing with stress.

PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND CRISIS COUNSELING

Counselors may also assist students with personal and social issues, including those related to alcohol, drugs, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, anger, family, and friends. Counselors may refer students to other services, which may include free services.

COLLEGE EXPLORATION AND ADVISING

Counselors can be a great resource as students explore possible college and/or post-secondary educational opportunities. Counselors help students to complete applications and request teacher recommendations. In addition, the counselor will write a counselor recommendation, prepare transcripts, and prepare other materials for the student’s application packet.

CAREER/POST HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELING

Students wishing to discuss careers and opportunities other than post-secondary education may also consult their counselor for information. Counselors can provide information about local opportunities, requirements for careers, and make referrals to other community organizations to help students pursue their career goals.

OPTING-OUT OF PROGRAMS

Parents and guardians have the option of limiting individual student participation in any program by submitting a letter to the principal.

COUNSELING DEPARTMENT APPOINTMENTS AND COUNSELOR ASSIGNMENTS

Counselors see students individually by appointment or on a walk-in basis in emergencies. Students should come by the counseling office before school, after school, or during lunch to make appointments. The Counseling Department secretary will give the student a pass for the appointed time. Students should sign in/out at the counseling secretary’s desk with the times of their arrival and departure. Students are assigned to school counselors according to their grade level.

MAKE-UP WORK

It is the student’s responsibility to meet with the teacher to schedule make-up work on the day she/he returns to school from an absence. Students may not opt out of assigned work. Previously scheduled tests must be made up on the day the student returns to class or at a time designated by the teacher.

The following are helpful guidelines for obtaining assignments before returning to school after an absence:

• Absences of one or two days – Contact the teacher in class to obtain information on work missed.

• Absences of three or more days – Call the main office requesting assignments. Please remember that teachers need at least one business day notice to prepare assignments. Assignments may be picked up in the main office the day after the request.

Students are expected to make up any missed classwork within one week of the absence. Work will not be accepted after one week has passed.

CLASSROOM FOOD

Sharing of student food inside and outside of the classroom is not permitted. This includes bringing in cupcakes, candy, etc. for student celebrations.

ATTENDANCE – Be here and on time.

OUR EXPECTATION: Students will attend every class, every day, on time, every time.

As part of Virginia’s Compulsory Attendance Law, all students are expected to attend all classes each day and arrive on time. Regular attendance is essential for students to benefit from the educational program of Middlesex High School. Teaching and learning are daily processes that occur in every class. Whenever students are absent from class, they miss out on that teaching and learning. Written make-up work is an inadequate substitute for the total classroom experience. Pupil presence and participation in classroom activities improve learning opportunities for the student, increase efficiency of instruction for the teacher, and protect the academic standards of the school. Consistent pupil attendance and competent daily instruction in the classroom are major contributors to increased learning and excellence in education.

READMISSION AFTER AN ABSENCE

Students must bring a note to the main office before the school day begins, signed by the parent/guardian explaining the reason(s) and the date(s) of the absence. Students who do not present a note following an absence will be marked unexcused. Make-up work will be provided for any excused absence. Students must submit valid written documentation of absences immediately upon their return to Middlesex High School. Any absence without written documentation will be considered unexcused. Written documentation is required for all excused absences. The following types of documentation will be accepted for an excused absence: medical notes, letters from community organizations, court appearances, educational visits, death in the family, parent notes at the discretion of an administrator, and other extenuating circumstances may be considered with written documentation provided to the principal or her designee for attendance.

CHECKING IN OR OUT OF SCHOOL

Students must check in (if arriving late) or check out (if leaving early) of school through the main office. In order for the absence to be excused, the student must have a note signed by a parent or guardian providing a valid reason for an excused check in and a contact number. If the reason is valid (see above), an excused check-in/check-out slip will be issued to the student and a copy will be maintained in the main office. If the check-in (tardy) is unexcused, the attendance policy will be enforced. Students must present their check-in/check-out slip to the teacher(s) whose class(es) is/are affected. Due to the difficulty of positively identifying a person over the telephone or e-mail, Middlesex High School may NOT accept telephone calls for check ins or check outs, or a follow-up phone call will be made by the office staff. Students needing to check out of school due to personal illness must get approval from the school nurse. Failure to follow the appropriate procedures for checking out of school will result in disciplinary action. All students who arrive after the start of school (8:15 AM) must check in with the main office.

All students who leave before the end of school (3:15 PM) must check out with the main office; this includes educational and privileged leave from school.

TRUANCY

As defined by the Code of Virginia, any student who earns five or more unexcused all-day or majority-day absences from school throughout the whole school year shall be considered truant. Students identified as truant are subject to court/legal intervention and will be notified by the MHS administration of truancy meetings to be held.

SAFETY AND RESPECT

Students are expected to respect the personal, psychological, and physical safety of all members of the school community. Students are expected to treat all members of the school community with respect.

AUTO MISUSE: RECKLESS DRIVING

Students are expected to obey all traffic and parking regulations and procedures while operating or riding in a motor vehicle at Middlesex High School or at any MHS-sponsored event. In addition to school disciplinary consequences, any behaviors in violation of this expectation may be reported to the police department. Students’ parking privileges may be suspended or revoked if reckless driving is observed on or in front of school property.

As a reminder, Virginia state law dictates that any student who has had a driver’s license for less than one year may only carry one passenger. Once the student has held a driver’s license for more than one year, he/she may carry up to three passengers.

Students must obey the posted speed limit sign in the parking lot and in front of the school, or they will be issued a ticket.

TARDY TO CLASS

Students who are late to class will be considered tardy. If students are more than five minutes late, they shall be considered to have been in an unauthorized area.

UNAUTHORIZED AREA

Students are expected to be in assigned areas at all times. While on school grounds or at school sponsored activities, students must be under the direct supervision of a teacher, coach, sponsor, administrator, or faculty member. Student schedules provide for their supervision throughout the school day. A student being in unauthorized or unsupervised location compromises the safety of the school.

Such locations include but are not limited to:

• Parking lots during school hours except with written approval or when arriving or departing from school.

• Off campus except with appropriate permission

• On school grounds after hours except during supervised activities and events.

• Students who are more than five minutes late shall be considered to have been in an unauthorized area.

• All students on grounds before, during, or after regular school hours must be under the direct supervision of a teacher, coach, or sponsor.

SCHOOL COMMUNITY

Students are expected to treat the school’s campus, facilities, and materials in an appropriate manner.

LITTERING

Students are expected to respect school property and the school environment. Students are responsible for the appropriate disposal or return of all items in their possession.

TRANSPORTATION

During the 2021-2022 school year we are unable to make any changes to your child's bus transportation.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES – Be respectful and involved.

OUR EXPECTATION:

Students are expected to be positively involved in their school community.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP

MHS students are expected to learn how to become leaders. Through student government, involvement in clubs or athletics, students can develop and hone their leadership skills. Beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, there will be a Principal’s Advisory Board, which will be comprised of students from every grade level that will advise the principal on school matters. This is an excellent opportunity for student leadership at MHS.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION (SGA)

The Student Government Association is the student government organization at Middlesex High School. The SGA sponsors homecoming activities, community service projects, and other student activities.

ACTIVITIES

MHS students have a wide variety of clubs, activities, and organizations in which to participate. Listen to PA announcements for club and activity meeting times. Below is a sampling of some of the clubs and activities offered previously at MHS.

• Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA)

• Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA)

• Spanish Club

• Key Club

• Technology Student Association (TSA)

• Teachers for Tomorrow (TfT)

• Yearbook

DANCES

Middlesex High School is happy to host several student dances each school year. Traditionally, MHS has hosted a Homecoming Dance (sponsored by the SGA), a winter dance, and the Prom (sponsored by the Junior Class). Students who attend dances must purchase tickets in advance and must adhere to all dance guidelines. Guests who attend other area high schools are welcome to attend MHS dances if the appropriate forms have been completed and approved by the principal. Approved guests must be under 21 years of age. Students are expected to dress appropriately at all dances, with no undergarments visible and the body of the student appropriately covered.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. The National Honor Society chapter at Middlesex High School expects all student members to maintain the standards used in their selection process. The primary requirement of this society is that of “character.” Members who make bad decisions resulting in suspension from school, breaking the laws of our community, or cheating will have their membership status reviewed by the society’s committee. Members who do not live up to the expectations of an honor society may be disciplined by that society’s committee and may have their membership revoked. The option to apply to the Middlesex High School Chapter of the National Honor Society is by invitation only, after an application process. The committee selects students who have excelled in all four areas designated by the National Honor Society Constitution: Academics, Character, Leadership, and Service.

STUDENT RESOURCES AND INFORMATION

OUR EXPECTATION:

Students are expected to know the policies outlined in this handbook.

GRADUATION

It is expected that students will graduate on time (within four years). Graduation information will be provided to students throughout the year. Students may participate in graduation if they have met the requirements for their diploma. Students must meet all requirements in order to be cleared for graduation. Graduation tickets will be provided at graduation rehearsal.

HEALTH SERVICES, SCHOOL NURSE, AND MEDICATIONS

A school nurse is assigned to maintain student health and immunization records, conduct screenings, assist with emergency health problems, and health concerns. Students are not allowed to carry or to self-administer medication. In cases where it is necessary for students to take medication, a school medication form which includes mandatory parent and physician signatures is required. Medication must have the original label, including student name, prescribing physician, directions, and dosage. Physician required non-prescription medication will need to be in a new and sealed package, and will require the school medication form appropriately completed. All medication will be stored and administered from the nurse’s office. Medication guidelines also apply to all student field trips. Parents and/or legal guardians are the only persons allowed to bring medications to school.

LOCKERS

Lockers are issued to students at Middlesex High School. Lockers are considered property of Middlesex High School and are subject to search under reasonable suspicion. Students in physical education and on athletic teams are issued a clothes storage locker. The school is not responsible at any time for lost or stolen items.

PowerSchool PARENT PORTAL TO STUDENT GRADES AND ATTENDANCE

Middlesex High School uses PowerSchool Parent Portal for students and parents to access student records online. Students, Parents, and Guardians will be able to monitor student assignments, grades, and attendance using the parent portal. Parent portal login names and passwords, as well as additional information, will be given to all parents/guardians at the beginning of the school year. If at any time during the year the parent needs the information again, the guidance department has it.
