The Winchester School has a student population of approximately 460 students in pre-school through grade 8. We offer a full-day kindergarten program, as well as a half-day pre-school for three and four year olds. At the middle school level, students switch classes for some subject areas, although teachers work together to provide an integrated curriculum. Our average class size is about 18 students.

Dress Code

The Winchester School would like to challenge all students and staff to take pride in their appearance. Proper attire is required during school and at all school functions. Proper attire is defined as clean clothing that is free of large holes or tears that appropriately covers the body, and that helps maintain a healthy and safe environment at the school. Additionally, the school cannot permit clothing or shoes that are dangerous, unsafe, disruptive to the educational process, vulgar, obscene, advocating illegal substances or offensive to human dignity. Students who wear such articles of clothing will be referred to the principal or his assistant. If you have a question about appropriate dress, consult the principal or his assistant. To assist in your judgment, be advised that:

1. Bare feet are not allowed.

2. Brief, immodest or revealing attire such as midriff tops, backless (below mid-line) tops, muscle shirts, pajamas, beachwear, inappropriate necklines, excessively short skirts or shorts, and exposed undergarments are prohibited. No bare midriffs. Straps must be a minimum of 1 inch wide. Skirts and shorts must reach mid-thigh or they will be deemed too short. Belts must be worn to prevent pants from exposing underwear.

3. Spiked items such as collars, wristbands, or necklaces are not permitted. Chains and/or dog collars are prohibited.

4. Clothing that displays or advertises (written or visual) alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and/or violence are prohibited.

9. "Heelies" or shoes with wheels are prohibited unless the wheels have been removed.

Food, Drink, and Gum in the Classroom and Hallways

Food and drink are not allowed to be consumed in the hallways, the library, computer lab, gymnasium, or at all-school meetings. Any food or drink being taken from one place to another must be covered or in closed containers. Bottled water is allowed in the classroom. Teachers will use their discretion in allowing food to be consumed in the classroom. Gum is NOT allowed at our school. Students should not bring gum to school.

Lost and Found

Each year we have many unclaimed, unlabeled sweaters, boots, sneakers, jackets, coats, mittens, gloves, hats, lunch boxes, etc. Please label all student belongings so that they are returned. If articles are not claimed within a reasonable period of time, we will donate them to a local charity. Parents are invited to come in and look through the lost and found items at any time.

Birthdays

We celebrate the children’s birthdays with a card from the principal and a small gift (usually a pencil and an eraser). Children with summer birthdays receive their card and gift prior to the end of the school. Please let us know if you prefer not to have your child’s birthday highlighted in this manner.

We ask families to check with the classroom teacher if they wish to send a special classroom snack for their child’s birthday. Healthy snacks are encouraged.

Newsletters/Web Site

School-to-home and home-to-school communication is a priority at our school. We encourage families to inform the school of their child’s needs, and to read and respond to messages from school. Classroom teachers send home newsletters at least once a month. Mr. Funkhouser also sends home a Principal’s Message at least once a month. Copies of these, as well as schedules, lunch menus, and other information about our school can be located on our web site at www.wnhsd.org.

Field Trips

Permission is needed for all field trips that take place outside of the Winchester area. Permission slips for in-town trips are not required, but families will be notified that the trip will occur. We do not want any child to miss a field trip because of the fee. Please let us know if you need assistance in meeting the cost of the field trip. It is important that each child attend these special experiences.

Visits and Appointments

1. Adult Visitors - It is important that all visitors enter through the main door and then proceed to the office to sign in before proceeding further into the building. Please feel free to visit school often. Become acquainted with what your children are doing and the services that are offered to them. We ask that visits be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. For safety reasons, visitors are not allowed to enter a classroom unannounced or without checking in at the office. Please call the school at 239-4381 to make an appointment and we will be happy to meet with you.

2. Student visitors - Students from other schools who wish to visit grades K-5 for a day may do so with a 2-day notice to the teachers involved. Student visitors are subject to all school rules and regulations. Student visitors are not allowed in grades 6-8.

All families will receive the application for free and reduced lunch on the first day of school. Please let us know if you did not receive one. We wish to remind families that application for free and reduced lunch can be made at any time during the school year if circumstances should change.

Emergency Procedures

Throughout the year, we hold a variety of drills to prepare students for emergencies. These drills include Drop and Cover, Shelter in Place, Lock Down, Evacuation, and Reverse Evacuation. An emergency response team that includes fire, police, and other emergency officials, meets on a regular basis. These meetings are posted on the school’s web site and community members are welcome to attend.

In the unlikely event we need to evacuate the building for emergency reasons, the children will be walked to a safe location until the emergency has passed or it is time for the end of the school day. In the event we do not return to school that day, buses will pick up the students at our regular time and take them home as always.

At the Winchester School, our goal is to create a safe, caring and productive environment for all students. In order to reach this goal we have instituted the following discipline policies and sets of procedures, which will be followed consistently by all students, teachers, staff and parents.

Discipline Policy and Procedures

Some offenses require that a report be filed with the local police due to the nature of the incident. Included in the listing of possible offenses are serious assaults and threat, drug and alcohol use, bringing a weapon to school, setting off a fire alarm and theft. Knives, toy guns, or any item that may be construed as a weapon are never allowed at school. 

As part of our ongoing effort to provide a safe environment for all, we have increased the number of staff supervisors on recess and cafeteria duties. The students will have help nearby at all times if they feel a situation is developing that they may not be able to handle.

Rules will be explained on a regular basis so that expectations are clear to all.

School Dances – Discipline Rules

Periodically throughout the year evening dances are held at the school for Winchester students in grades 6-9.  All students attending are expected to follow the rules below:

Bullying – School District Policy

The Winchester School Board is committed to providing all pupils with a safe school environment in which all members of the school community are treated with respect.

This policy is intended to comply with RSA 193-F, which specifically identifies "bullying" as a form of pupil harassment. Conduct constituting bullying will not be tolerated, and is prohibited by this Policy, in accordance with RSA 193-F.

If it is determined, after investigation, that a pupil has engaged in bullying conduct prohibited by this Policy and implementing administrative regulations, that pupil shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, which may include, but not be limited to, suspension and expulsion.

Bus Regulations

The School Board policy determines who may or may not ride the bus. In general, children in Kindergarten who live ½ mile or more from school are entitled to school district transportation. Children in grades one through eight should walk to school if they live within one mile of the school.

Misbehavior on the bus may be reported to the school principal if it is a matter of safety or disruption. School Bus Incident Reports to the principal may result in a student being suspended from the bus. A copy of this report is attached at the end of the handbook. Please review the report form with your children and encourage them to behave properly on the bus.

Rules will be explained on a regular basis so that expectations are clear to all.

Children Who Walk Home

Children who walk home are dismissed at 3:02, and are expected to leave school grounds immediately. Those who are walking toward Parker Street are to walk behind the white line that designates the walking area. It is expected that children will follow all safety guidelines for coming to and going from school even when they are off the school grounds.

Children Who Are Picked Up by Car

Children who are picked up by car from the elementary school are dismissed in the rear of the building. Parents are asked to park their vehicle and then walk to the area by the cafeteria exit at the rear of the building to pick up their children and walk them safely back to the car. On rainy days, children wait in the hallway.

Bicycles

Children may ride bicycles to school. A bicycle rack is provided for the purpose of parking bicycles. We ask the children to use the rack and not to lay their bikes on the ground. We also ask that children bring a lock. Bicycles are brought to the school at the student’s risk. The school will not assume responsibility for a damaged bicycle.

Bicycle Safety Rules:

A report of unsafe bike riding to or from school or the failure to obey the state law requiring that children up to age 16 wear a bike safety helmet will result in not being allowed to ride a bike to school. In addition, students must adhere to the following rules:

• Bikes are to be put into the bike rack once you arrive at school

• Students are not to linger at the bike rack or to return to the bike rack once they have placed their bike there.

• Students must leave the school grounds immediately after school.

• Students are not to be in the bus lanes or in the parking lot.

• A report on any of the above rules being broken will result in a one week suspension of riding privileges with families being called (unless the occurrence is serious enough to result in a longer period).

Change of Destination - Children who will be going to a different destination after school other than their usual one, or who will be changing their usual routine (walking instead of riding the bus, etc.) must have a note stating the change. The school is not authorized to give permission for any changes. Parent phone calls about a change will be honored, but for everyone’s safety, notes are preferred.

The program of studies in our school is continually evolving. State and national guidelines through the No Child Left Behind legislation have called upon all schools to evaluate their programs and to meet federal and state requirements. To meet these high expectations, we turn to research to find effective means of instructing children. The programs and initiatives that we use are not experimental. They are proven to help children reach higher levels of achievement and keep them competitive, while giving them every opportunity to grow.

Curriculum

Our core curriculum in every grade level includes reading and writing, mathematics, social studies, and science. As stated above, we are constantly working to ensure that our curriculum is aligned with the high standards set by the New England Common Assessment Program Grade-Level Expectations. Details of these expectations can be found on the school’s web site at www.wnhsd.org.

In addition to the core subjects, we offer classes in Spanish, physical education, music, art and computer to all of our students K-8. We believe that these classes have a significant role in education both for their intrinsic value and for the ways in which they can enhance general academic achievement and improve students' social, emotional, and physical development.

Special Education/Support Services

In order to help every child succeed, we have a number of programs that support the regular classroom and assist students who may need other types of interventions. These include:

Children in kindergarten through grade eight will be assigned homework four days a week (not on weekends).  Children will be assigned no more than ten minutes of homework for the grade they are in (for example:  fifth graders should have no more than fifty minutes of homework). At the middle school level, students are assigned homework by subject areas. The middle school teachers work together to ensure that no student is overloaded with homework.

Report Cards

We have three report periods during the school year for children in preschool through grade 8. The first two report cards are accompanied by a parent conference. This year conferences will be on Friday, December 7th and Friday, March 21st. Notice will be given well in advance so that a convenient time can be arranged for teachers and parents to meet. 

Testing

We have a number of assessments that are used throughout the year:

Library Services

Children go to the library on a weekly basis to return and to sign out books.  Mrs. Joanne Gardner, our library/media specialist, works with Mrs. Felch and her volunteers to read a story during library time to students in grades K-5. Middle school students also schedule times to use the library for research and projects.

The computer network at the Winchester School is comprised of a minimum of one multi media computer per classroom. Network laser printers are available in each section of the building. There are several LCD projectors in the building, as well as a SMART board, to provide large group instruction using the computers.

There is also a computer lab where technology instruction and Internet access is offered to students under the supervision of the classroom teacher and our computer teacher, Mrs. Megan Hutchinson. Internet use is intended for research purposes, sharing information with other schools and students, and assisting students in learning communication skills. The school retains the right to deny access to known security risks and those known to breach pre-set computer parameters.

Recess

Recess is a necessary part of the school day. It is a time set aside for children to develop social skills in a semi-structured setting.  Whenever possible the children go outside for all or for a portion of their recess time. Factors such as outside temperature, wind chill, and the condition of the playground (mud, ice, etc.) are considered before a decision for outside recess is made. We need the family’s assistance in seeing that children are dressed appropriately for the weather of the day!

The playground is well supervised and the children are instructed about our recess rules that are designed to keep our playground safe and fun. When incidents do occur, especially those where children are playing unsafely or creating a situation where they or others will be in danger (i.e. fighting, pushing, tackling, or threatening), a playground detention may result for those involved.

We are a Responsive Classroom school. The Responsive Classroom approach is built around six central parts that integrate teaching, learning and caring in the daily program. These components are set in the context of commonly shared values, such as honesty, fairness, and respect, and are implemented through the development and strengthening of social skills, such as cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy and self-control.

The Six Key Components that we are striving to implement are:

1. Classroom Organization that provides active interest areas for students, space for student-created displays of work, and an appropriate mix of whole class, group and individual instruction.

2. Morning Meetings – a format that provides children the daily opportunity to practice greetings, conversation, sharing, and problem solving; and motivates them to meet the academic challenge of the day ahead.

3. Rules and Logical Consequences that are generated are clearly understood by all.

4. Academic Choice for all children each day in which they must take control of their own learning in some meaningful way, both individually and cooperatively.

5. Guided Discovery of learning materials, areas of their room, curriculum content and ways of behaving that moves children through a deliberate and careful introduction to each new experience. There is no assumption that children already know how to do something before they begin.

6. Assessment and Reporting to parents that is an evolving process of mutual communication and understanding.

School Counselor and Social Worker Services

These specialists teach classroom lessons on a variety of topics such as conflict resolution, forming friendships, appropriate behavior, and bullying.

Children and families have access to the assistance of these professionals. Please contact our school counselor, Jennifer Weisenberger, or our social worker, Ellen Mendelson, if you have concerns that may best be served by them. In addition to the service they offer for counseling, they are also a good link to community services that may help with a family situation.

Individual or small group counseling with students is always done with prior approval of the parents.

Partnership – The Winchester School is committed to working in partnership with families and the community to help our students succeed. We focus on six types of involvement proven by research to make a difference – parenting, communication, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and community collaboration. All families and community members are invited to be part of our Partnership Team. For more information, contact Pam Bigelow, who coordinates our partnership program. She can be reached at 239-4381.

The Winchester PTA is one way to be involved in a decision-making organization that positively affects our school. Regular meetings are held beginning in September. In addition, the PTA sponsors several events and programs that are of interest to Winchester families. Please come and join us. For more information, contact Ellen Mendelson at the school.

The School Volunteer Program is another great way to be involved. Members of the community are encouraged to become volunteers at the school. Assistance is needed in a variety of tasks including working with individual children or with groups of children under the supervision of a teacher. Please consider volunteering. Contact Pam Bigelow at the school.

ACCESS

Thanks to a 21^st Century Community Learning Center grant, funded through the New Hampshire Department of Education, we are able to offer an exciting array of activities for youth in grades K-8 before and after school hours.

The ACCESS Program offers youth the opportunity to participate in healthy, educational and fun programs with their friends. Programs in the elementary school are offered from 6:30 to 8:30 A.M. and 3:00 to 6:00 P.M., every day that school is in session. At the middle school, there may be seasonal before-school programs such as "A.M. Hoops". The afternoon program is from 3:00 to 6:00 P.M. on Monday through Thursday, and 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. on Fridays. Home-schooled children, and those attending private schools, are also welcome to register for ACCESS. Please note that for both the elementary school and the middle school programs, parents and guardians are required to sign out their children at the end of the day. To insure safety, we cannot release students who have not been signed out.

Pre-registration is required. This enables us to hire teachers and support staff, schedule transportation, and plan snacks, etc.

A sliding scale fee schedule is in place to insure that ACCESS becomes a permanent program in the schools, continuing long after the 21^st Century grant runs out. Rates are based on free and reduced lunch guidelines. We want every child to have the opportunity to attend ACCESS and have tried very hard to make the program affordable for all. Scholarships are available.

More than 40 different activities are offered, ranging from martial arts, theater, and small engines, to woodworking and 4-H master gardeners! There is something for everyone!

Classes are not held on days school is closed, such as holidays, or on snow days. School vacation programs, if offered, are announced well in advance.

Contact any of the ACCESS administrative staff at 239-4381 for questions or registration forms:

Jeremy Miller, Project Director, X267, jmiller@wnhsd.org

Angie Dorcus, Site Coordinator, X265, adorcusaccess@gmail.com

Christine Greenleaf, Administrative Assistant, X266, accessinfo@gmail.com

Students in grades 6, 7, and 8 are encouraged to try out for and participate in our sports program. Soccer is our fall sport. Girls’ and boys’ basketball make up our winter sports, and baseball and softball are offered in the spring. For more information, contact our Athletic Director, Tim Durr, at 239-4381.

The school district provides a full-time registered nurse located in the elementary building. She is in charge of the general health of the school. A child who has a fever, sore throat, ear infection, upset stomach, diarrhea, skin rash or a bad cough should not be in school. In general, if a child is too sick to participate in all school activities, including gym and recess, she/he should remain home. We will send home any child with a fever or one who is displaying one of the aforementioned symptoms.

Parents need to make arrangements for their child in the event they become ill during the school day. If your child becomes ill at school you will be notified. We will err on the side of caution in informing you of minor injuries.

Health Emergencies

The nurse will provide first aid in any cases where a child is injured at school. Parents will be notified and are responsible for providing transportation to medical facilities. The school reserves the right to transport any child to a hospital if it is deemed necessary.

The nurse should not be utilized for injuries that have occurred outside of school.

Prescription Drugs/Medication Policy

1. Over the Counter Medications

Non-prescription medications will only be given with signed permission from the parent/guardian. If your child needs to have medication administered at school for whatever reason they will need to have a note from you. The medication will not be given without the note. 

2. Self-administration of Medication by Students

Some physicians may recommend or prescribe that student’s medication (e.g. inhalers or insulin) be self-administered. If your child needs to carry and self-administer medication, it will be required that they have a note from their physician on file with the parental consent form in the nurse’s office. They will also need to report to the nurse for evaluation when they have a need to use the medication. This is for their protection in the event that the medication is not effective and the child needs further intervention than just the medication.

3. Prescription Medication - The requirements for administration of medication in school are as follows:

1. A signed prescription from the physician for the medication on file is in the nurse’s office. If there is a change of dosage during the school year, a new prescription will be required.

2. A consent form signed by the parent giving the nurse permission to administer the medication on file in the nurse’s office.

3. Prescribed medication in the original prescription bottle with the label intact delivered to the nurse by the parent. Your pharmacy will provide you with an extra bottle with a label for the school if you request it.

4. The parent or their adult agent will be required to deliver the medication to the school. Children are not to transport prescription medication.

These medication policies are written in accordance with the state guidelines governing nursing practice. They have taken into consideration any instance that might be an issue. They are also written for the protection of your child, yourself, and the nurse. They will be strictly adhered to.

Head Lice (Pediculosis)

Our policy is a no nits policy. A student cannot re-enter school until all of the eggs  (nits) are cleared from his/her head.

There will be periodic checks on the entire school. These will occur on the day the children return to school at the following times:

They will also occur as the need arises. Professional nursing assistants may be brought in as additional help to accomplish the school wide check on the day the children return.  The school nurse will coordinate these checks and will be responsible to see that the school is free of lice. The nurse will also see that families are notified if an occurrence of lice is found in their child’s classroom.  Families will be responsible to see that their child is picked up at school if head lice are discovered. The child will not be allowed to travel home by bus.  Families will be advised of the available medication and its appropriate use. Education regarding steps to be taken for treatment of child and environment will be given verbally with written reinforcement.

The child may not return to school until adequately treated with approved medication and be free of any and all nits.  The child is not to ride the bus until cleared by the nurse. Children must be brought to school by other means before they are re-examined and return to the classroom

Children readmitted to school after treatment will be rechecked after seven days to determine if treatment was effective.

All of the above should occur within the guidelines of confidentiality and with the sensitivity one would expect in a school setting.

A copy of the school’s Asbestos Management Plan is available to review in the main office of the elementary school. The school’s AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Act) management plan is also available.

Tobacco Policy

Smoking and use of tobacco in any form on Winchester School District property is prohibited at all times by all persons. (Adopted 9/16/93).

Drug and Alcohol Policy

The use, possession, or distribution of illegal substances is considered a serious offense in the Winchester School District. In light of the serious nature of this topic, the following procedures have been put in place by the Winchester School Board:

1. Upon reasonable evidence of possession, use, or distribution of illegal substances by any student on school district property the following will occur:

2. In case a student appears to be under the influence of illegal substances, the parent/guardian will be notified by school authorities to come for the student and remove the student from school property.

In severe cases, if the parent/guardian cannot be contacted or will not come to the school, school officials are authorized to call for an ambulance to remove the student to a hospital. Parents/guardians will be notified of this action and are responsible for the incurred expenses.

Weapons Policy

In accordance, with the Gun-Free School Act of 1994 and NH State law, the Winchester School Board adopts the following as a Winchester School District policy.

Any pupil may be expelled from school by the local school board for gross misconduct or for neglect or refusal to conform to the reasonable rules of the school, or for an act of theft, destruction, or violence as defined in RSA 193-D:1, or for possession of a pellet or BB gun or rifle and the pupil shall not attend school until restored by the local board. Any expulsion shall be subject to review if requested prior to the start of each school year and further, any parent or guardian has the right to appeal any such expulsion by the local board to the State Board of Education. (Ref: 193:13-11)

Any pupil who brings or possesses a firearm as defined in section 921 of Title18 of the United States Code in a safe school zone* as defined in RSA 193-D:1 without written authorization from the superintendent or designee shall be expelled from school by the local school board for a period of not less than 12 months. Any expulsion shall be subject to review by the local board if requested by a parent or guardian prior to the start of each school year, and further, any parent or guardian shall have the right to appeal any such expulsion by the local school board to the State Board of Education. (Ref. 193:13-111)

Also, the Winchester School District will notify the SEA annually of:

1. The name of the school concerned,

2. The number of students expelled from the school, and

3. The type of weapon(s) concerned.

In addition, Winchester School District will refe

r all pupils so acted upon, to the criminal justice or juvenile delinquency system.
