leave slip when they return to school. All leave taken on Mondays and Fridays must be
approved in advance or documented by a note from the doctor.
Check-in/Checkout Procedure:
Teachers and staff are not to leave campus during the school day unless they have approval from the
assistant principal who is their evaluator or the principal. After approval has been given, teachers
must sign out in the office before leaving. Upon their return, the teacher should stop by the office to
sign in.
Non-Instructional Personnel Absences:
Non-instructional personnel must E-mail the principal prior to being absent.
Personal Leave:
Teachers must have approval from the principal prior to using personal leave.
Optional Teacher Workdays:
Teachers must sign-in in the office on Optional Teacher Workdays. Teachers may elect to use annual
leave, but it is the teachers responsibility to make sure that they have the leave available. A pay
deduction will occur if a teacher is absent without leave.
Substitute Teachers:
If a teacher knows in advance that they will be absent, they should use the Call Plus system or
contact Jeff Paul or Nikki Clink in the main office who will arrange a substitute. If there is an
emergency and there is a problem with the Call Plus system, teachers should call Mrs. Wanda
Simmons??? to engage a substitute at the following numbers: 252-259-9621 or 252-444-2443???.
Do not call after 9:00 P. M. Leaving a message may not guarantee a sub, so teachers should call
until they speak to Mrs. Simmons???. If an emergency occurs or a teacher becomes ill during the
night they should call the school office beginning at 7:00 A.M???. until a secretary or an
administrator answers the phone. Teachers are responsible for making sure that their class has a
substitute and written lesson plans for each day that they are absent.
Call Plus Substitute Management System:
Call Plus is the system that is used to engage substitute teachers after regular school hours. Please
follow the procedures listed below.
Recording an Absence:

security number.
From the main menu press 1 to record your absence.

Recording Your Personal Message for Sub:

Press 1 to Listen, 2 to Record, 3 to delete your message, or * to return to the main menu.
Call plus is available after 5:00 P. M. and is turned off at 7:00 A. M.??? If you know you are planning
to be out in advance see Kathy McGovern in room 107 during the school day. The Call Plus system is
to be used only for after school hours.
Teachers are not to contact substitutes on their own. Only subs that are on the current
Craven County and the Havelock High School substitute lists can be used.
Academic Awards Ceremony
The Academic Awards Ceremony is held each year at the end of the school year, typically the 4 th
Tuesday evening of May. All certified staff members are required to attend unless they have been
excused by Dr. Murphy and as a general rule; Dr. Murphy expects all to attend. Once the date is
determined, there is to be no other school events scheduled that conflict with this ceremony.
Accounting Procedures
Checks from the Bookkeeper
Please give at least one day of notice when requesting a check from a school account. The principal
must sign all checks so please plan ahead and give as much notice as possible.
Purchase Orders
Teachers must request a Purchase Order form and number from Mrs. McGovern before ordering
anything that will be paid for out of the school accounts. It is the teachers responsibility to assure
that adequate funds are available in their account prior to filling out a purchase order. Do not use
personal funds or credit cards to purchase items for the school unless you receive prior approval
from the principal. Purchase orders must be approved and signed by Dr. Murphy in advance.
When items are received, sign the P. O. and and the invoice, attach them together and bring all
paperwork to Mrs. McGovern. Invoices will not be paid without a signed purchase order attached. Do
not call in orders and then fax the order. This may result in a duplicate order.
Receipt Books
Mrs. McGovern will issue receipt books as needed. All money must be receipted as it is collected and
must be turned in the day of collection. The auditors expect the receipt date to match the deposit
date. Do not mark out mistakes on a receipt. If a mistake is made on a receipt, staple both copies
together and write void on the top white copy. Both copies are required to void a receipt. Obtain
change wrappers from Mrs. McGovern and wrap change if enough has been collected.
Teachers must complete a Teachers Report to the Treasurer form when turning in money. The
amount and designated account should be included on the form. The account will be listed on the
receipt book that was used to write the receipts. All school money should be turned in between 8:00
and 2:30 ??? each day. The principal will document money that is turned in late, discrepancies in
amounts, and the failure to follow established procedures.
All money must be turned in and all disbursements must be paid via school check. Keeping cash to
reimburse expenditures or to pay staff involved in a clinic or camp is against policy.
Reimbursement
Teachers should not purchase items and expect to be reimbursed without the permission of the
principal. This is especially true for class sponsors during homecoming preparations. The name of the
business must be printed on receipts that are turned in for reimbursements. Please write the
11
following information on the receipt: your name and the account that the money should come from.
The receipt must only include items that are to be reimbursed.
Announcements
Announcements are not going to be read via the PA system. Teachers must E-mail announcements
to Nikki Clink in the office. Mrs. Clink will compile an announcement file and will E-mail it to the
entire staff on a daily basis. The announcement sheet will also be printed daily and posted on the
glass near the front office window. Teachers will be responsible for reading announcements during
second period. Teachers must read the announcements at a convenient time that corresponds with
lesson plans for the day. This process should reduce classroom interruptions and should ensure that
students are able to understand the announcements. Teachers who fail to read the
announcements during second period will be addressed by the administration. We will
continue to start second period with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
No teacher may use the PA system to make an announcement without approval from the
principal or an assistant principal. This includes coaches!!
Assemblies
The principal must approve all assemblies in advance. Teachers must accompany their students to
assemblies and must monitor student behavior.
Athletics
For a description of the available athletic teams, see the student handbook. Teachers should support
student athletes by attending athletic events. Havelock High School teachers will be admitted to all
regular season home athletic events free of charge.
Athletic Event, Cultural Event Gates
Each licensed employee will be expected to sign up for three athletic or cultural gate duties. Gate
keepers will collect money and/or work the door at cultural events and athletic events. This will be
considered a regular teacher duty. Teachers working this duty must remain on duty at the concert or
game the entire time.
Athletic Director
The Havelock High School athletic director is Coach Mitch Williams. Teacher questions about athletics
or a student athlete should be directed to Coach Williams or the coach of the team. Phone number:
463-1528.
Clubs
For a description of Havelock High School student clubs, see the student handbook. Teachers must
have approval from the principal to start new clubs. Please see the principal prior to advertising for
new clubs. All club and class sponsors must do a community service project as part of their club
activities. It is recommended that these projects benefit local charities or organizations.
Class Sponsors
Teachers are required to complete assigned duties as part of their job requirements. Teachers who
are assigned Class Sponsor duties are required to participate in all class activities without exception.

Communication
Cell Phones:
To support the strict student cell phone policy, teachers should set the example in regard to cell
phone use. Teachers are not to talk on cell phones or take calls during class. If it is
necessary to monitor calls, the phones should be set on vibrate and calls should be returned
between classes or during planning periods. Teacher cell phones should not be used by students.
Teachers are also not to text in class or in front of students. Texting during a state test is
cause for a misadministration and will result in official reprimand by the school and
district administration.
Email:
Email correspondence from the administration to the faculty is vital to school communication
processes. For this reason, teachers are expected to check email daily. Parents who send teachers an
E-mail must receive a response within twenty-four hours. The email program that Craven County
uses is GroupWise. Teachers are responsible for schedules, policies, and information that are sent
via email. Sometimes parent emails may end up in your junk file. All staff should occasionally check
their Mail Summaries for such emails. See GroupWise for instructions.
Parent Conferences:
The secretary in the guidance office will arrange individual parent conferences when directed to do
so by an administrator. Teachers should set up individual parent conferences for themselves. When a
parent calls requesting a conference with all of a students teachers, then the guidance secretary will
arrange the meeting time and notify teachers. The guidance secretary will consult IEP and 504
schedules to avoid conflicts. If a teacher cannot attend a scheduled conference, the teacher
is responsible for contacting the parent by phone in advance and notifying the contact
person for the meeting.
Telephones:
Telephones are intended for school business only. It is understood that teachers and other staff
members have personal situations that arise but personal calls must be as short as possible.
Students are not to use phones in the classrooms unless calling a parent in front of a teacher. Under
no circumstances should teachers give the classroom phone code to a student. Teachers
may use telephones in their classroom, departmental offices or the teacher workroom.
Written Correspondence:
Every printed piece of paper and email that leaves the Havelock High School building will be
professional and neat. This includes any correspondence with parents, Central Services, businesses,
vendors, etc. Printed and electronic materials that are issued by teachers should be typed,
grammatically correct, and should avoid typographical errors and misspelled words.
13
Computer Labs
Room 301 has been designated as a computer lab that can be reserved by teachers for class
sessions. Room 301 is referred to as the Plato lab. There will be two computer labs available for use
in the media center, and there may be additional computer carts available for classroom use. See the
calendar (located in the media center) to sign up for the labs. These labs are not to be used on a
daily basis by CTE teachers. Teachers may sign up for these labs for only half of the class period and
should be considerate of other teachers when signing up. Teachers may only sign up for labs twice in
one week unless there are unused labs. CTE teachers who teach classes like Career Management
should use one of the CTE labs when they are available. Substitute teachers CANNOT take
classes to computer labs or use laptop carts. Contact Mr. Josh Page ???, HHS Media Assistant if
necessary.
COMPUTER LAB GUIDELINES
The proper and ethical use of computers, computer software, and other technology equipment for
educational use is of extreme importance to Craven County Schools and Havelock High School. The
following guidelines are implemented to ensure that students will receive a quality learning
experience when using computers.
1. Substitute teachers cannot take classes to computer labs or media center to use
computers.
2. All school rules must be enforced while enrolled in computer labs. No hats, gum, food, or
drinks are allowed in the computer lab, the media center or when using laptops. Also, music
listening devices are not permitted.
3. Students are to be supervised by a teacher or staff member who is physically in the room at
all times when using computers or other equipment in the computer labs or checked out from
the media center. All students will be required to sign a log-in sheet upon entering the
computer lab. These log-in sheets must be returned to Mr. Page??? immediately after using
the lab.
4. Teachers or staff members are responsible for verifying that students have the appropriate
signed permission slip on file in the media center BEFORE permitting students to use the
Internet, regardless of where the computers are used.
5. Data storage devices, such as flash drives, brought in from outside the computer lab may
contain a virus that could damage school computers; therefore, all devices are to be scanned

cart.
ATTENTION: The person using the equipment including computers, printers, scanners, copiers,
and the internet is responsible for violations of copyright, pornography, counterfeiting, or any other
laws and statutes. Violators may be subject to criminal prosecution. Also, a county technician
monitors internet use. If a student is using an inappropriate site, the technician will send two
messages to the student telling him/her to close out the site. If the student does not, the technician
will contact an assistant principal and the student may lose internet privileges at HHS and could be
suspended.
Computer Labs-Mobile
Teachers may request to use of a class set of laptops. The request must be made at least 24 hours
in advance so that arrangements can be made, and teachers are responsible for picking up the cart
before use and returning it after use. The laptops should only be used in classrooms with tables, not
smaller student desks. Teachers must observe student use at all times and check every computer
before returning each one to the cart to be sure that no keys are missing and to be sure that the
computers were not damaged.
See Leeanna Bunch in the library to sign up for use at least 24 hours in advance and return the cart
with filled in logs by the end of the day of use. Please do not sign up to use a cart for more than one
day each week unless there is availability so that all teachers have access.

ATTENTION: The person using the equipment including computers, printers,

scanners, copiers, and the Internet is responsible for violations of copyright,
pornography, counterfeiting, or any other laws and statutes. Violators may be
subject to criminal prosecution.
Concerts
Band and chorus concerts are the culmination of academic units in musical instruction. During
concerts, students share the art of music with the audience. Teachers should support student
musicians by attending concerts.
Confidentiality
Federal law, state law, and local policy mandate confidentiality of student records. IEP, 504, and
other records should be safe-guarded and stored in secure locations. Teachers should use discretion
when discussing grades, discipline, and other student related issues. Do not post information such as
social security numbers, student names, etc. in regards to grades.
Copiers and Copies

Copiers and their use are covered in the Media Center portion of the handbook but certain elements
have been emphasized here. It is the intention of the administration to provide what
teachers need for their classrooms. However, a frugal approach is necessary in regard to copiers
because of the tremendous financial obligation that they represent for the school.
15,000 copies are assigned to each teacher for the entire year.
Excessive copies keep the school from purchasing other items that are desperately needed,
i.e. technology items.
Teachers should adhere to the following:
Use Google Docs, Wiki spaces or a moodle for your classroom plus projection equipment
to limit the number of copies that are used.
Teachers are not allowed to share their copier number for any reason. We give each
teacher 15,000 copies knowing that some subjects will not use all of this allotment.
Teachers are not to enter any number on a copier that is not assigned to them. Any
teacher who is discovered doing this will be referred to Human Resource Services for
disciplinary action.
Teachers who exceed the 15,000 copies should ask the principal for more copies, not
another teacher. This helps the administration monitor the use of copies and make
decisions about copiers in the future.
We will no longer have multiple copiers for individual teachers to use. Teachers will be
assigned to a copier in their work room or in an area that is common to their classrooms.
Teacher computers will be networked to the department copier to facilitate usage.
Copyright Laws
Teachers are responsible for adhering to all copyright laws. The duplication of copyrighted materials
is forbidden in most cases. Copyright laws that apply to educators are stored in the media center.
Teachers who have a question about copyright laws should see the Media Coordinator.
County Requisitions
The principal must approve orders before a requisition is submitted. Ordered items that are received
will be stored in the package room when they are delivered. Teachers will be notified when delivered
items can be picked up. When ordered items are received, teachers must sign off with Mrs.
McGovern. If you have a question about an order, see Mrs. McGovern.
Covering Classes
16
Unless specific permission is given from the principal, teachers are not to get other faculty members
to cover their classes so that they can leave early. Teachers who leave early will be assessed leave.
The only exception to do this rule is for coaches leaving for games.
Credit Recovery
The purpose of Credit Recovery at Havelock High School is to provide remediation for students who
have failed courses. It is hoped that the student will complete an abbreviated curriculum that will
amend the failing grades to passing grades.
A student will be eligible for Credit Recovery during school if:
He/She has failed one or two courses in a previous semester.
For an EOC Credit Recovery, the failed course must be from a previous semester, and the
student must have taken the EOC test. If the test was not taken, the student must repeat the
entire semester course in a regular classroom setting.
Students may only take one period of Credit Recovery during the school day.
Procedures
Students can only be assigned to Credit Recovery within the first ten days of the semester.
Staff members who wish to recommend a student for Credit Recovery must see the students
assigned guidance counselor. Only the guidance counselor may refer a student to the
principal for placement in Credit Recovery. No other staff member can submit a written
referral.
The counselor must submit a credit recovery referral form that includes a list of the failed
courses and the failing grades that were received.
The principal will review the form and determine placement.
Only two credit recovery courses may be taken during each semester. The student will
complete requirements for one course of study during the first nine-week grading period and
the other course of study during the second nine-week grading period.
If the student passes the Credit Recovery class, credit for the course will be awarded and the
Credit Recovery grade and the failing grade from a previous semester will be listed on the
transcript.
Students who skip Credit Recovery classes or who exceed the county attendance policy may be
exited from the program and may not receive credit.
Discipline problems will not be tolerated in Credit Recovery classes.
There will be no mid semester promotions allowed. Students may be promoted to the next
grade level at the beginning of the next school year.
The principal retains the right to revise or make exceptions to Credit Recovery procedures.

Dress Code-Faculty
Teachers are to dress in a neat, professional manner and as an example for students. Clothing
should be clean, pressed, and appropriate for a professional environment. Jeans and sneakers are
not to be worn except on Spirit Days or workdays. District administrators have given principals very
specific guidelines in regard to wearing jeans. Teachers who do not dress appropriately may be
asked to go home and change.
(Delete this paragraph right?)Teachers will be asked to contribute $10.00 to the faculty benevolence
fund at the beginning of the school year if they wish to wear jeans on Spirit days. The benevolence
fund will be used to provide flowers, cards or gifts for faculty members during times of celebration,
grief or hardship.
On Spirit days teachers who have contributed may wear neat, clean, denim jeans, and a collared
shirt or sweatshirt with a Havelock High School logo. Black/white shirts/blouses cannot be worn
unless a HHS emblem or logo is embroidered, pinned, or printed on the shirt. A Spirit day schedule

Dress Code-Students
Teachers are required to assist the administration in the enforcement of the BOE/HHS mandated
dress codes. Students who are in violation should be sent to the appropriate administrative office
during first period with a dress code referral. Students who refuse to comply with the dress code will
be suspended out of school. The dress code is printed in the student handbook on page 12???.
EOC
(update ???)
End-of-course, CTE, Common Exams, and other required testing are an integral part of education in
North Carolina. Courses that have an EOC test are Algebra I, English II, and Biology. Common
Exams are currently administered in 22 subject areas. State testing is a priority at Havelock High
School for a number of reasons. All teachers should expect to be involved in State testing
during exam days and at other times and should be cooperative when asked to proctor or
administer tests. EOC results combined with other aspects of the school determine Adequate
Yearly Progress (AYP) for No Child Left Behind. Any testing questions should be directed to the
assistant principal who will coordinate testing this year.
Evaluation for Teachers
All teachers will be evaluated according to the North Carolina Teacher Evaluation Rubric. Teachers
will have one specific username and password to access the NC Homebase System for access to True
Logic North, the online evaluation system, common core/essential skill standards, assessment
information, professional development, and other state sponsored resources.
Professional Development Plan
As part of the evaluation system, teachers are required to complete a Professional Development Plan
(PDP) during the school year. Evaluating administrators will assist teachers with the development
and implementation of the PDP.
19
Evening School Referral and Admission Process

for evening school and complete the Evening School enrollment form.
The principal must approve all evening school placements and hybrid schedules.
The counselor or dropout prevention coordinator??? will provide course list for students to
take in Evening School.
The completed enrollment form will be sent electronically to the Evening School Director.
The evening school director will contact parents/student and work with Guidance Counselors
to set up students schedule in Homebase.
Once students have been placed in Evening School, they will remain there until the end of the
current semester or longer. The HHS principal must approve evening school student
reassignment to day school.
Exams
The requirements for mid-term exams, final exams and interim assessments were not finalized at
the time of printing this handbook. They will be distributed at a later date.
Exceptional Children
Federal law mandates that teachers must accommodate exceptional children according to the
Individual Education Plan (IEP) that is determined by the IEP committee. EC teachers should share
IEP information with regular education teachers, but teachers are responsible for understanding and
implementing strategies that are listed on the IEP. Classroom strategies and testing modifications
are not optional and must be followed carefully by Exceptional Children teachers and regular
education teachers.
Federal Cards
Federal cards are to be distributed and collected during second period homeroom. Teachers should
make sure that the cards are filled out properly, should sort them according to grade and type, and
should turn them in by the given deadline. Teachers are responsible for collecting a federal card from
every student in their second period homeroom.
Field Trips
Field trips must be related to the curriculum and participants will be responsible for any expenses
including bus travel. Field trips must be approved in advance and bus transportation must be
arranged in advance. Submit a copy of a specific hour by hour itinerary of activities and emergency
contact information with the request. A list of projected field trips must be submitted by the
September deadline. For more information and related forms, see the AP in charge of field trips.
Overnight trips should be discussed with Dr. Murphy prior to filling out paperwork and making trip
arrangements. Prior approval for all field trips must also be approved at least two weeks in advance
by Dr. Annette Brown, Assistant Superintendent. The district discourages stops at malls due to safety
concerns. Safety plans must be submitted with requests to stop at malls, trips to theme parks.
There will be NO swimming or water sports without prior approval from the Craven
County Board of Education. There must be a specific safety plan for swimming.
Field trip approval is not required for regular athletic events; however coaches are required to
submit a specific itinerary and emergency contact information for approved overnight trips.
Fire Drill Procedures
For fire drills or in the event of a fire the following signals will be given: standard fire alarm.
20
Teachers and students will leave their location immediately and follow their primary designated
evacuation routes and exits for each classroom. In the event that the primary route is blocked, the
alternate route should be used.
The teacher/staff member in each classroom should shut down any operating equipment, turn off
the lights, and close their classroom doors on the way out of the room. Be sure to take roll books
and Safety Kits (i.e., "Red Bags").
Classes that exit from the front of the building should congregate in the grassy area between the
front parking lot and Webb Blvd. These are: Main Office, Guidance, 120, 122, 203, 216, 218,
222, 224, 226, 232, 300, 303, 400, 402, 501, 503, 504, 505, Media Center, Plato Lab.

Lollipops-Olivias Parking Lot.
Fliers/Poster
Fliers and posters should not be taped or glued to any painted or brick surface in the hallways or any
glass door/window for any reason. The tape pulls paint off the walls and removing old tape is a real
challenge. Bulletin boards have been added to each hallway that to be used as student information
centers. School information and fliers may be added by teachers when necessary. It is against
Craven County BOE policy to post any flier for an outside entity without specific approval of the
superintendent. The windows at the front of the school have been covered with tinted material. Do
not attach anything to the front windows. A covered bulletin board has been added to the wall
beyond the flagpole. If you want to have something posted at the front of the school, see Mrs. Buday
in room 103.
Fundraising
The principal must approve all fundraisers prior to beginning the fundraiser and prior to making
arrangements with vendors. Teachers must fill out the online fund raiser form and submit it to the

principal via email (hard copies will not be accepted). The principal will then return the form with
approval, suggestions or concerns. Fundraisers that involve local business solicitation are not allowed
unless specifically approved by the principal. Board policy also forbids conflicts of interest for
parents, teachers etc. in regard to fundraising. Specific questions about this policy should be
directed to the principal. The form will be emailed to teachers as the beginning of each school year.

their door and immediately moving students to a safe corner in the room (away from windows and
doors).
The teacher/staff member will report "Lockdown" by intercom or by telephone to the main school
office and provide as much information as possible, including: description of the armed persons or
the situation, types of visible weapons, last known location, and direction of travel. Someone in the
main office will call 9-1-1.
The lockdown will be immediately announced over the intercom and radio announcement.
intercom is compromised, a series of 3 short whistles will be blown.
If the
Classes/students outside of school buildings should find the nearest safe area to hide (and not
reenter any building).
Upon lockdown notification, teachers should take the following actions:
Check hall outside classroom and take in any students in hall if it safe to do so.
Close and lock door.
Turn off lights.
Move students to an area of the classroom away from door.
23
Keep yourself and students as quiet as possible.

If situation in room is O.K. and there are no medical problems/injuries, place a green card
under door or in hall window and place a second green card in outside window to signal to
response officials that your classroom is secure.
If situation in room is unstable or there are illness/injuries, place red card under door or in
hall window and place a second red card in outside window to signal to response officials that
you need assistance - do not call 9-1-1 from your room.
Once door is locked, do not open for any reason. Police officials will open door from outside.
Ignore all alarms and bells.
Any evacuation or other action will take place through
notification by a Critical Incident Response Team (administrators, police, fire, rescue)
When eventually evacuated, teachers must bring roll books/Safety Kits (i.e., "Red Bags") with
them.
The Incident Commander (police officer) will remain in place until given verbal or written instructions
regarding dismissal, evacuation, or other action. Students/teachers should not leave their room for
any other reason.
In the case of a direct evacuation, students will be relocated to an off-campus rally point. Teachers
are to take their red-orange bags with them. Upon arrival at the off-campus rally point, teachers will
take roll and evaluate medical needs. Teachers will then de-brief/assess students for mental and/or
medical services needs.
Students will be released only to parents or guardians (or other preapproved adults) and will be
given a list of resources that can be used for medical/mental health assistance. The school will
consider direct provision of mental health services after

four students with a specific assignment to the media center on one media center pass. Teachers
needing students to come to the media center to test must make arrangements in advance with the
media staff. Most days the library is full so it is not the most ideal place to test students. Booklets of
media center passes are available from the media staff.

during regular media center hours before being taken from the media center. This includes
all videos, DVDs, books, supplementary books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and magazines. Please
help us make sure all library materials are checked out so we know who has them. Each teacher is
responsible for all materials checked out in his/her name. A small professional book collection is
25
located in the media center for teacher check-out/use. Once the media center is closed for the
day, please wait until we reopen the next day to check out materials.

videos/DVDs must be both appropriate to your standard course of study and directly related to the
current lesson. Every video/DVD shown in the classroom must be on the current approved
department list for the specific course/class, be directly related to the current lesson, and must have
a Craven County Schools Video Approval Form completed and signed by the department chairman
before it can be shown. Written parental permission must be obtained for all videos/DVDs rated PG
or PG-13. No rated R videos/DVDs may be shown in the classroom unless approved in advance by
the superintendent or his designee. No Disney animated videos are allowed to be shown. See
Craven County Schools Instructional Program Policy 912.03 for further explanation and procedures
for showing any video/DVD not on your approved department/course list.
Overdue FinesStudents
Overdue fines are charged to students on all late materials after one days grace period. Fines are
calculated using the number of school days rather than calendar days and are $.10 per book per
school day for books that can be checked out for two weeks and $.25 per item per school day for
reference materials and magazines that can only be checked out overnight. Overdue notices are
sent to 2nd period teachers to give to students. Report cards are not issued to students who have
overdue library materials or fines.
Computer UsageStudents
The media center has thirty computers available for student use. Students are required to read and
follow the instructions for computer use and sign the sign-in sheet next to the computer each time
before using it. Violation of this policy can result in the loss of computer privileges in the media
center. We recommend that students have a flash drive on which to save their work and/or save on
their Google accounts. Printing is available with the charge of $.10 per page.
Internet AccessStudents and Teachers
The Internet is available on all media center computers. All students and their parents must read
and sign the Craven County Schools Internet User Agreement for Middle and High School Students
annually before a student can access the Internet on any computer at Havelock High School. The
signed Craven County Schools Parental Agreement forms are kept in notebooks in the media center.
Each teacher is responsible for checking his/her class roster to make sure all students have this
current signed form in the media center before allowing them to access the Internet on a school
computer. All homeroom teachers are responsible for handing out and collecting these forms for
their 2nd period classes during the first few days of school. In addition, Craven County Schools'
policy requires each student to sign in each time before accessing the Internet. All Craven County
26
Schools employees are required to sign the Craven County Schools Employees Network/Internet Use
Agreement annually before they can access the Internet on any computer at Havelock High School.

(after the initial required seminar period) if they follow proper procedures. Students must go to the
front office during their lunch period to get a pass to come to the media center during seminar,
and they must report immediately to the media center and stay the entire period. Teachers should
not send students to the media center during seminar so that students are not roaming
the halls. Teachers may check the calendar for availability and bring your class in to use the
computers during seminar.
Audio Visual/Computer Equipment
Overhead projectors and AV carts are available for yearly checkout periods. All other equipment
including TV/VCR/DVD, VCR, cassette and CD players, laser player, computer systems, video
camera, LCD projector, document camera, interactive boards, and the smart board are requested on
a daily basis using the online reservation system at http://havelockhighmediacenter.wikispaces.com.
Equipment must be requested before 2:30??? at least one day prior to when it is needed and
will be ready for teachers to pick up at 7:30???. All equipment must be returned each day to the
media center by 3:00??? pm. If you need equipment after school, please make special
arrangements with the media staff. Teachers, themselves, should pick-up/return the video camera,
LCD projector cart, and smart board. Students may pick-up/return other items.
Instructional Supplies
Teachers and staff have a maximum of $50 to purchase instructional supplies for the year.
Supplies for the new school year are ordered in May and picked up in the media center at the
beginning of each school year. New teachers will be given some basic supplies until their request
can be filled. Teachers order their supplies via email and should keep their supply order form saved
on their computer. Additional supplies should be requested via email using this form. Please make
additional requests in advance of need. Bordette and bulletin board paper are always available for
teachers.
Copiers/Paper
Two copiers are available in the teacher work area of the media center from 7:00 to 3:30???
(2:30??? on Friday) and in the mailroom/teacher lounge any time the school is open. Most
departments also have a copy machine. Please read the copyright notice on the copiers before using
them. Each staff member is responsible for following the copyright laws. If you have problems with
a copier, please tell/request help from the media staff. Students are not allowed to use the copiers.
We hope to have a volunteer to make copies for you once a week. The media staff only runs off
papers for teachers in emergencies. Each teacher is given a total of 15,000 copies per year. You can
check your number of copies made on each machine at any time. Ask the media staff if you need
assistance with checking your copy numbers. If you need additional copies, e-mail your request to
Mr. Murphy. Department Chairpersons (or designee) may pick up a box of paper as needed for
department printers, and teachers must take their own paper to the computer lab if needed.
Laminating
Leave items to be laminated in the library on the table by the laminating machines. Put your name
on all items and the media staff will laminate them as soon as possible. You might not get them back
the same day so please plan ahead.
Scantrons
Scantrons and Scantron Analysis forms are available for all midterm and final exams. Additional
Scantrons must be ordered as part of your supply order the previous school year so you must plan
ahead for the next school year. Please request Scantrons in advance by filling out a request form in
the media center before midterm and final exams. The media staff will have them ready the next
27
day for your pickup. The Scantron scoring machine is located in the teacher lounge/mailroom.
Most teachers will get the information needed by marking the key with %, 2, and 5.
Purchase of New Media Materials

Teachers may make requests for new library materials to the media staff at any time. Please give
your request in writing along with the ordering information. We purchase most new library materials
during first semester.
System Television
Classrooms with televisions receive cable channels and the school broadcast channel 4. Videos and
DVDs can be played for several classrooms at once using channel 4. This "use of the system" should
be requested ahead of time. Usually every Friday the school announcements are shown using this
system
Medication for Students

Teachers are not to give students any kind of medication. This includes aspirin, Tylenol, Midol,
antacids, etc. Students who bring their own medication must follow county policy and register the
medication with the nurse.
Meetings
Faculty Meetings
Every Wednesday afternoon will be reserved for faculty meetings. A meeting schedule will be
established that includes faculty meetings, goal team meetings, department meetings, and course
level meetings. Teachers of English, Math, Social Studies and Science will be required to attend
monthly data analysis meetings. These meetings are held after each interim assessment
administration. A schedule for these meetings will be given to teachers. All teachers are expected to
attend all scheduled meetings. Coaches, music directors, and club sponsors must schedule meetings,
rehearsals, and practices after scheduled meetings. Teachers must notify the principal prior to
missing any scheduled meeting. This does not apply to teachers who are out sick or
teachers working after school duty.
504 Meetings
Teachers are required to attend 504 meetings. If a teacher has a conflict, the principal must be
informed and teachers must contact the parent of the student prior to the meeting to discuss
classroom performance.
IEP Meetings
Exceptional children teachers will schedule IEP meetings according to federal regulations. Teachers
are required to attend IEP meetings as requested by EC teachers. Teachers should be given
reasonable advance notice of meeting times. If a teacher has a conflict, the principal must be
informed and teachers must contact the parent of the student prior to the meeting to discuss
classroom performance.
Parking
Teachers will be assigned a numbered parking space in the teacher lot behind the school. Office
workers, guidance personnel, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, and administrators will be assigned a
space in the lot in front of the school. Please park in your assigned space. If your space is filled, park
in a space by the baseball field and alert the SRO or an administrator. Teachers are not to park in
the student parking lot, in the visitor spaces in front of the school or in shaded areas
under trees.
Coaches and music directors should remind students that they are not to move their cars to the
faculty lot after school. Students who do not have a reserved parking space are not to park on
28
campus at any time. Teachers should alert an administrator or the SRO if they observe a student
parking in the teacher or front parking lots.
Personalized Education Plans for At-Risk Students
According to state law, any student who fails to meet state or local requirements for promotion or
who is at risk of academic failure whether determined by attendance or below standard performance
in classroom achievement shall have a Personalized Education Plan (PEP).
When students are at-risk for academic failure due to factors such as attendance, lack of motivation,
discipline, etc., the process listed below will be implemented.
Students who have IEPs, 504 plans, AIG plans, and/or LEP plans may also have a PEP written. This
will be determined by teachers and others involved with the students.
PEPs needed for students in distance learning classes should only address the areas that we control.
The interventions may deal with behavior, organizational skills, attendance, study skills, etc.
1. Submit a list of your students needing a PEP to guidance counselors according to the schedule
posted on the school calendar. The link for this form will be e-mailed when it is time to submit PEPs.
PEPs are only created at 4, 9 and 12-week marks in the semester. Remember that this should only
be for students who are actually failing or who have already exceeded the 10 days. Once you create
a PEP, it must be maintained for the entire semester, regardless of the status of the student.
The guidance counselors will complete the general information on the form for you. PEPs will be
uploaded to ftp://10.166.30.254/.
2. Go to the website, click on page and open FTP site in windows explorer to access PEPs.
Pull the PEPs off the server just before you are ready to work on them. Once finished, save and
upload completed form to the server immediately.
You have to take forms from the server, save and upload each time you need to update.
Try to work on PEPs the day you have the student for seminar to avoid simultaneous updates.
See Michele Buday, Curriculum Coordinator, for assistance if necessary.
Tip for Parent Involvement: You may call the parent to discuss the PEP instead of setting up a
conference, however you must document the call and send the signature page to them to sign and
return to you.
If parent conferences are held, all teachers may participate in a joint conference if the student is
failing more than one class. However, each of you will be responsible for strategies in your class
3. DO NOT SEND A WORD COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT TO PARENTS. YOU WOULD HAVE TO
PROVIDE THE PASSWORD TO OPEN, AND THEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES. THIS
COULD CREAT EMAJOR ISSUES. If you like to send an electronic copy, scan the PEP using a copier
and send it PDF.
4. You may use a highlighter to mark the reasons and goals on the sheet to make them stand out.
5. PEPs are to be closed out at the end of each semester. This means you have done the evaluation
piece for the 2nd and 4th nine weeks. Also, make notes on the PEP and print a copy for your records.
Document any contacts made or attempted with the parents.
Active PEPs are saved into folders on the server according to semesters. You will still have access to
these. Inactive PEPs will be kept on the server for at least five years.

Proper Relationships with Students
The administration at Havelock High School is proud of the tradition of impeccable professionalism
demonstrated by Havelock High School faculty and staff. In order to clarify expectations for the large
number of new staff, this section has been added to the faculty handbook.
It is imperative that teachers are professional in regard to what they say to students and when
developing relationships with students. Improper relationships with students may result in
disciplinary action that could include dismissal and referral to law enforcement. Please be cautious
when meeting with students alone and/or in small groups and be sure to follow Craven County BOE
policies in regard to communicating with students. Teachers should be aware that according to North
Carolina General Statute 14-202 it is a felony for a teacher, administrator, school safety officer, or
coach to have sex with a student unless the two are married. Questions or concerns regarding
relationships with students should be referred to an administrator.
S Days
Requests for special consideration on S days have increased recently, i.e. leaving early etc. These
requests have become a pattern with some teachers. S days are to be used for staff development
and teachers should plan on being present all day. Teachers that wish to leave early will be charged
leave. Working through lunch is not an option to leave early.
School Calendar
All events that occur at Havelock High School need to be listed on one calendar and shared with
teachers on a regular basis. If you have an upcoming event, notify Mr. Mangum who keeps the
official school calendars and will help teachers avoid conflicts with events. Mr. Mangum is also
responsible for updating the web site with events and activities of interest. Coaches and others need
to check school calendars prior to scheduling or rescheduling events.
Seminar Schedule-General Information
The Seminar Schedule at Havelock High School will provide an incentive for students to maintain a
B average in all of their classes. It will also provide students who do not maintain a B average
with an opportunity to receive remediation/guided practice during the school day. Many students
have not taken advantage of after school opportunities over the years because of transportation
issues, sibling supervision issues, part-time jobs etc. Seminar will be a part of the daily schedule so
all students, including those who ride a bus will be able to participate.
Making remediation/guided practice part of the academic expectations for each class should have a
very positive effect on student performance. The seminar will increase the pace of regular classes
which will benefit students who understand the material the first time, and will provide necessary
remediation or more individualized instruction for students who need reinforcement.
Special Features of the HHS Seminar Schedule are listed below:
All regular classes (Periods 1-4) will last 85 minutes.

There will be one weekly 30 minute seminar class for each of the four class periods during the
school day. Teachers will use this time to assist students, provide guided practice and to
reinforce materials that were covered during the week.
Advantages of the seminar schedule include the following: Students will have an incentive for
maintaining a B average in all of their classes and students who cannot maintain a B average will
have a daily structure that allows them to receive additional help. Also, students will track their
averages and will receive teacher feedback every two weeks. Students who do not have to be at
seminar and participate in after school activities will be able to work on homework. After school
activities will start earlier because coaches will not have to wait for learning centers to end to start
30
rehearsals and practices and after school activities can end earlier. This will allow for more family
time, rest, work, homework, etc.
The seminar schedule will be implemented in the following way:
Seminar attendance will be mandatory for any student who has a class average below 85% in
a class. Teachers may also require students to attend (regardless of their class average) for
small group, course related instruction approved in advance by the principal. Teachers will be
required to inform parents and students of the schedule for these sessions well in advance.
Seminars may be attended by any student who needs to make up or finish class assignments
due to absences and any student who chooses to receive additional instruction.
During the first four weeks of each semester, every student will attend seminar according to
the weekly seminar schedule regardless of their class average. Additional instruction and
guided practice will be given during this time and students will become accustomed to the
seminar schedule.
At the end of the first four weeks, progress reports will be sent to parents if they have
requested paper copies. Otherwise, they will check for progress updates in the new parent
portal of PowerSchool. The class average on progress reports will indicate who will be
required to attend seminars during the next two weeks. This same process will occur every
two weeks for the remainder of the semester. Students on the list will go to seminar after
fourth period. Students will only attend seminar for classes in which their average is below
85%. Information in PowerSchool must be kept updated.
A Blackboard Connect message will be sent each time seminar lists are revised reminding
parents to check progress reports or the parent portal so that they will know their childs
schedule for the next two weeks.
When the bell rings at 2:20???, walkers and drivers who are not on a seminar list should
leave or go to the gym if they are waiting for a ride. They will be supervised by teachers.
Bus students who are not on a seminar list will report to the gym where they will be
supervised by teachers. Students seated in the gym may spend time with friends or use the
time to finish homework. Bus students are not to leave campus (and return) during seminar if
they wish to ride the bus home.
When the tardy bell sounds at 2:25???, all students on a seminar list must be in their seminar
classroom. The hallways will be clear and non-seminar students must be in the gym or
outside of the building on their way home.
Attendance at seminar is included in the Board of Education Ten Day Attendance Policy and
there will be academic and/or discipline consequences for students who are tardy or who skip
seminar (the same as other classes). Students who are out of bounds after the seminar
tardy bell will be assigned Saturday detention.
Seminar Procedures
The processes for the supervision and movement of students who do not have to attend seminar
class, combined with what the teachers do in the seminar classroom will determine the success or
failure of the program. The administration is determined to provide this school time structure for the
students of Havelock High School and will have high expectations for each teacher in regard to the
performance of their duty on planning period days.
31
The administration would like to stress the importance of teachers promoting this
program in a positive manner. If teachers are negative about the schedule, the students
will be negative as well.
After School Process
Each day at 2:25???, students must be in seminar, the gym, or outside of the building leaving
campus. Students may be released from the gym to go have a snack in the cafeteria.
Students caught in the hallways, in front of the building waiting for a ride, or standing, not
moving in the parking lot after 2:25???, will be disciplined for being out of bounds.
All teachers must stand in the hallway during the seminar class change (and all class
changes) to expedite and supervise student movement to the seminar class or out of the
instructional areas of the school.
Students who do not have seminar must be seated by the 2:25??? bell; students who are not
seated on time will be sent to the office window to register a tardy.
Doors to instructional areas will be closed and outside doors will remain locked during the
seminar period.
Students who wish to leave must be out of the building and instructional areas when the bell
rings. They may not loiter in the parking lots or on the terrace.
When the 2:20??? bell rings, teachers with seminar duty must drop everything and move
immediately to their assigned duty stations.
According to the new Board of Education attendance policy, students who are exempted from
seminar must be in attendance for all but eight minutes of the class period to be counted
present.
Teachers are not to issue hall passes during the seminar period.
Seminar Class
According to new Board of Education policy students must be present for 90% of the required
instructional time for the day. This means that students who miss more than eleven minutes
during the combined regular class and the seminar class will be counted absent for the day.
Students who skip seminar will be counted absent for the related class for the day.
The period attendance will not be reported until after the seminar session ends. For example,
on Mondays, first period attendance will not be submitted to Mrs. Borton until the end of the
seminar period.
Alternative or flexible grouping must be approved in advance by the principal. Teachers

cannot arrange groupings to avoid having a seminar class.
Teachers who have no students (high grades, or no shows) in their seminar must report to
the gym to assist with duty.
The purpose of seminar is to provide individual and small group reinforcement of weekly
objectives and concepts. Guided practice can also take place. Teachers are not to use seminar
as a glorified study hall. Guided practice or instruction must take place and teachers are
expected to be up and moving and working with students during the entire seminar period.
Teachers must have sufficient plans and materials to engage students for the entire thirty
minute period.
32
Seminar should include innovative and creative presentations that will engage students and
keep them interested at the end of the day.
The tardy policy is the same for all five class periods.
Seminar Duty
Teachers with a planning period during seminar will be on duty for the entire seminar period.
This duty includes a thirty minute time commitment per week. All teachers will be involved
with duty and should stay on station through the 2:55??? bell.
Teachers will be divided into duty teams and will assist with clearing the hallway, moving
students out of the building and student supervision.
A Team: This team will consist of at least three teachers. Their duties will include making sure
that all students are out of the 800, 500, 700, and 600 hallways when the seminar tardy bell
rings. They also will be responsible for making sure that the following doors are locked: 800
hall, 500 hall front, 500 hall back, 700 hall terrace, and 600 hall terrace. The A Team should
report to the gym when their hallways are clear.
B Team: This team will consist of at least two teachers. Their duties will include making sure
that all students are out of the 100, 200, 300, 400 hallways when the seminar tardy bell
rings. They also will be responsible for making sure that the 100 terrace door is locked. The B
Team should report to the double doors by the trophy cases at the end of the 200 hall to keep
students from reentering the instructional area.
C Team: This team will consist of at least six teachers. Their duties will include making sure
that students who are waiting in the gym are seated, and relatively quiet. Students may talk
among themselves, but they must be supervised to avoid thrown objects, arguments etc.
Students who are not seated by the bell should be sent (no warnings) to the office window to
register a tardy. Teachers must be up, moving among the students and addressing unruly
behaviors. At least one teacher should monitor the glass doors to keep students from going in
and out. There must be one teacher in the cafeteria to monitor students eating/drinking
snacks and going to the restroom.
D Team: This team will consist of at least two teachers. Their duties will include moving
students off of the terrace toward the parking lot or home and supervising students who are
checking to see if their ride has arrived in front of the building. Students who expect their
ride to be waiting in front of the school can briefly go out to check if their ride has arrived. If
their ride has not arrived, they will have to be seated in the gym until the 2:55??? bell rings.
They cannot wait in front of the school. This team should remain at their assigned area during
the entire seminar period.
E Team: This team will consist of at least two teachers. Their duties will include supervision in
the student parking lot. Teachers should encourage students to leave and should address
students who are loitering. When the parking lot is clear, teachers should stand on the
cafeteria terrace and assist with cafeteria supervision.
The principal may adjust duty assignments to improve the implementation of seminar for
various departments.
Additional Seminar Policies and Information

Students may not go to the field house, band room, non-seminar teacher classroom or
anywhere other than the seminar classroom, the cafeteria or off of the campus during
seminar period. To avoid huge numbers in the cafeteria during the first semester fourth
period seminar, there are two exceptions to this rule: the football weight training class will
33
remain with the coaches, and the marching band will remain with the band directors during
the fourth period seminar.
On Tuesday-Thursday, rehearsals, student meetings, and sports practices will begin no later
than 3:15???.
Monday and Friday will be designated at club meeting days. Band rehearsal, sports practices
and any other event that may interfere with club meetings will begin at 3:30??? on these two
days.
Teacher assigned detention and voluntary learning centers can still be held after the final
2:55??? bell.
Supervision of Students
There is not a defensible excuse for ever leaving students unattended.

During Class:
Teachers are responsible for supervising their students during the entire class period. Teachers
should never leave their classes unattended for any reason. If a situation arises where a teacher
must step out of the classroom, they must first enlist the help of the teacher in a nearby classroom
to watch their class until they return. This should only occur in an emergency situation.
During Class Changes:
Students may not congregate at the classroom door prior to the dismissal bell. They should remain
seated until the bell rings. Teachers are required to stand in their doorway and observe the hall and
the classroom during class changes. It is very important that teachers are extra vigilant
during the seminar class change.
Duty:
Teachers will be asked to assist with supervision at various times during the school day. Teachers
should report at the appointed time and stay until the duty ends. Teachers are responsible for finding
their own replacements if they cannot fulfill a specific duty.
Transitions:
Anytime that a group of students is moving from one area to another, the teacher must be situated
to observe students as the move.

Calling for an Administrator

The administrative team and the SRO will respond to all faculty requests for assistance and are
committed to responding to incidents in an appropriate manner.
If there is violence, or impending violence, occurring in your classroom, call the office and ask for an
administrator. The SRO and one or more administrators will respond quickly. In other words they will
run or move as fast as possible to your room. The office must be called from your classroom phone
at extension 5112 or 5113. You may no longer page from the intercom box.
If the violence has occurred and involved students have been subdued, call the office and ask for an
administrator, but provide more information. Let the office personnel know that the fight is over and
there is no imminent danger for the teacher or other students.
If a student is being blatantly disrespectful and needs to be removed, please give this information
when you call the office.
Be specific when giving locations. Make sure that you give the room number if possible.
Faculty assistance is appreciated when there is an altercation.
Cell Phone-Electronic Device Policy Enforcement

Teachers must stringently enforce the BOE cell phone/electronic device policy. Confiscation must
take place for the first offense. See the student handbook for the policy. The confiscation procedure
is listed below:
The teacher/administrator confiscates item.

The teacher/administrator fills out and signs Cell-phone/Electronic Device referral form.
The teacher/administrator turns in all three copies of the form and the item to the appropriate
administrator.
The administrator meets with the student, checks the students discipline record and establishes
the return date for the item. The administrator will determine if additional investigation or
discipline consequences are warranted.
The bottom copy of the referral is given to the student.
The administrator gives the item to front office personnel.
Front office personnel sign both copies of the referral form indicating that the item was received.
Office personnel must place the item into a manila envelope, staples the second copy of the
referral to the envelope and stores it in the bin in the vault. The top copy of the referral should
be kept by the administrator and the incident should be logged into Power School.
When the item is returned to the student or parent, they must sign on the referral form stating
that it has been received.
Teachers should not use their personal cell phones during class, unless they are calling
the parent of a student.
Teachers are not to text or read text messages during class in front of students, especially
during testing. Text messaging during a state test could result in a misadministration.
Cheating
The teacher should discipline students who are caught cheating. Students should receive a zero on
the test, project, or assignment, and parents must be contacted. Other consequences are at the
discretion of the teacher and may include additional assignments or teacher detention. Teachers
should document cheating investigations and may involve an assistant principal if necessary.

Classroom Management Plans

Teachers are legally obligated to maintain discipline in their classrooms and to do what is necessary
to provide a safe and orderly environment that is conducive to learning. Teachers must maintain a
certain level of decorum while accomplishing this task and should attempt to be professional at all
times. It is imperative for teachers to involve parent/guardians as soon as a discipline problem
begins and parents should continue to be involved until the discipline problem is resolved.
Teachers will be expected to document the discipline problems, consequences and parental contacts
prior to writing a referral to the administration. If a teacher does not follow the required steps before
a referral, the referral may be returned to the teacher.
Each teacher should develop a one page classroom management plan that includes expectations
(stated in positive terms specifying the behaviors you expect students to display), consequences,
and incentives for their classroom. This plan should be shared with students and parents and posted
in the classroom. Classroom management plans can be designed to suit the subject or program of
the class but should include the following:
Student Discipline Expectations
Follow all county, school and classroom rules and procedures

Be on time and come to class prepared
Think before you speak or act
Respect yourself, others and their property
Additional expectations as dictated by the program or class
Consequences for Inappropriate Behavior
Verbal Warning by the teacher

Parent Phone Call
After School Teacher Detention/Parent Phone Call (optional for teachers who would like to
implement detention)
Parent Conference
Referral to the Office (Guidance Counselor Referral may also be utilized)
Incentives
Positive referrals for good citizenship or outstanding accomplishment

Positive parent phone calls
Academic incentives (i.e., drop the lowest test/quiz grade etc.)
Other incentives that can be devised by the individual teacher
As teachers implement their plans, each step should be documented. It is often necessary to have
accurate documentation of events that have taken place so that parents can see what you have done
to remedy discipline problems. Parents are more understanding and helpful if they are able to see
tangible evidence of what their child has been doing good or bad.
When teachers refer a student to the office they relinquish control of the situation.
Administrators only have a few more options (Saturday detention, ISS, OSS) than the teacher so
teachers should exhaust all of the steps in their classroom management plan before referring a
student to the office. Teachers must submit a copy of their classroom management plan as an
electronic attachment to an email to the designated Assistant Principal by September 5, 2014. The
Assistant Principal will provide copies for each administrator. Having a copy of a teachers classroom
management plan benefits teachers in the following ways:
38
Administrators will have a better understanding of what strategies that the teacher has
employed prior to the referral.
Administrators will be able to share this information with parents when a phone call or
contact is made.
Administrators can assist teachers who have trouble with discipline by sharing best practices
of teachers who handle discipline in an effective way.
The only referrals that will be handled without first exhausting the classroom management plan will
be fights, assaults, skipping, dress code violations or blatant disrespect that is disruptive to the
educational process. Questions about exceptions to policy should be directed to an administrator.
PLEASE LIMIT YOUR CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN TO ONE PAGE.
Classroom Cleanliness
Teachers are expected to keep their classrooms free of clutter and debris. They should regularly
organize the materials that are stored in their classroom and should discard unused items or store
them at home. Custodians will clean classrooms on a regular basis and will remove trash daily.
Teachers who have a concern about custodial effectiveness should share concerns with an
administrator.
Computer Usage in Classrooms

Carefully monitor student use of computers in classrooms. All computers must have a log
in sheet for students to sign in and out when using. If students must use the teacher
computer, set up a separate student account to ensure confidentiality.
Discipline Procedures Explanations

It is the principals philosophy that all administrators, even though they are in supervisory positions,
are here to support teachers in matters of curriculum, discipline, and in any other ways required.
With this in mind teachers should understand the following about the referral/consequence process:
1. Prior to a referral, the teacher should follow their classroom management plans when dealing
with a student. Plans should include verbal warnings, student conferences, and then parent
contacts. Remember that involving the parent is the best way to quell discipline issues and
there is no excuse for not involving the parents early when a discipline problem begins to
develop. Exceptions to this are as follows: Violence or threats of violence,
drug/alcohol possession or use, possession of a weapon, blatant and/or sudden
insubordination and disrespect, use of profanity towards the teacher, other sudden
or unexpected disruptions to the educational process.
2. Teacher input in discipline referrals is carefully considered. It is important that teachers
understand that when a teacher refers a student to the administration, they may not be
involved in the decision making process in regard to consequences. During an investigation,
issues may surface that affect the outcome of the situation.
3. Communication between the teacher and administrator is very important! The
referral should be detailed so that the assistant principal has all the information that is
needed to properly assess the situation and make judgments about consequences. Saying
that a student was insubordinate or disrespectful requires additional information so that it
can be given to the parent. If you do not have time during your class to provide all of the
information, send an abbreviated referral and inform the assistant principal that you will
provide more information later. Make sure that you document all of the interventions that
you have used to control or improve the students behavior in the comments section on the
discipline form or on an attached sheet. Your contacts and interventions should be
documented in writing and your documentation should include times and dates. When
39
teachers adequately provide their side on the referral, it speeds the process. It is not
good if an assistant principal says, Your child has been causing disruptions for
several days or weeks to a parent and the parent always says, why was I not
made aware of this?
4. Federal law demands that due process be given to each student. Proper discipline procedures
take time. Assistant principals have many duties and have deadlines to meet. Sometimes
they have to assign priorities based on what is most important during their day. It is
understood that teachers are also busy. Disruptive influences will be removed if possible, but
the assignment of consequences cannot always be made prior to the completion of the
investigation.
5. Investigations into serious incidents (and sometimes trivial incidents) can take days or
weeks. Many of our investigations result in criminal prosecution. The majority of our
conclusions hold up if the situation is later tried in a court of law. We are very thorough and
try our best to get it right the first time. For this reason, we do not rush to judgment.
6. Discussing discipline problems with uninvolved teachers, students, community members etc.
could be a violation of the Federal Education Right to Privacy Act. You could be liable for what
you say. For this reason, discipline issues should be confidential. You should not discuss
consequences, investigations, or your opinions with people who are not involved with the
incident.
7. Clerical staff will frequently send out suspension and Saturday detention lists to the faculty.
8. We have been required to use a county referral form that is printed on NCR paper with three
copies. One copy must be given to the student, one must be kept by the administrator, and
OSS copies are mailed home. If you want a copy of a specific referral form, then
request it via E-mail or in person. We do not want to copy every referral because it
is costly and not every teacher wants a copy. You should also monitor the daily
discipline report to determine consequences assigned.
It is the intention of the principal that all staff members work together at Havelock High School
to do what is best for students and staff. There should never be an us vs. them mentality
between the teachers and the administration. Each of us has a role that we must fill in order for
Havelock to the best school that it can be. Teachers who have concerns about discipline
procedures should see the involved administrator or the principal.
Duty Absences
Teachers are responsible for finding a replacement for their assigned duties on days that they are
absent or when they have an off campus meeting. If you have a conflict with your duty assignment
you must find a replacement and notify APs of the change in advance.
End of Class Procedures

Students must remain seated until the bell rings. Teachers must provide 85 minutes of meaningful
instruction and not allow students to congregate at the door prior to the end of class.
Food and Drink

Students are not allowed to have food or drinks in classrooms or hallways, with the exception of
water in plastic screw top bottles. Teachers are responsible for cleaning up after themselves in the
workrooms.
40
Fire Marshal Issues

The following rules must be followed to be in compliance with the Fire Marshal:
Storage: There must be 24 of clearance from the ceiling to the first combustible item stored.
Wiring: Extension cords are not permitted to be used in place of permanent wiring. They are
designed to be used with on appliance and only while supervised during the time the
appliance is being used. At the end of use the extension cord must be unplugged. Surge
protectors may be used if they have a built in circuit breaker. Surge protectors are not to be
plugged in to one another. Tapping devices, multiple plugs in devices shall not be used as
these allow circuits to be overloaded.
Extension cords that go from a video cart to the wall may qualify as a trip hazard. Cords
should be covered by rubber ducts. See Mr. Snead for rubber ducts.
Exit ways: Exit ways must be clear at all times. Furnishing, decorations, book bags etc.
cannot block exit ways. Mirrors cannot be placed on exit doors.
Natural vegetation, trees etc. cannot be used as decorations.
Do not block fire extinguishers or pull stations.
Furniture
Teachers are not to move school furniture from one classroom to another without specific
administrative permission. Teachers should not bring old furniture from home, especially sofas, and
overstuffed chairs that may not meet fire marshal standards.
Grading Information
PowerTeacher is the electronic attendance record, grade program, and source for student
information. Security of PowerTeacher is extremely important. Teachers should lock or close the
program before walking away from their computer. Questions about PowerTeacher should be directed
to the data manager.
Absences and Tardies
Teachers are required to keep accurate attendance records. Teachers must record all student
tardies and absences in PowerTeacher no later than 4:00 p.m. each day to ensure accuracy of
attendance/ADR. When you are going to be absent, notify your sub to submit tardies and absences
to Mrs. Borton no later than 4:00 p.m. daily (must be included in sub plans). The ADR must be
carefully reviewed and responded to without prompting from the SSMT. The majority of faculty
members do a great job with the ADR and with attendance, but there are some who do
not. Teachers who fail to comply with the ADR process create problems for the SSMT, the
administration and the school in general. There will be administrative intervention for teachers who
consistently neglect to complete the ADR process or have repeated problems with accuracy.
Specifically, teachers who hinder the process with repeated mistakes or negligence will be
assigned to SSMT for varying intervals during their planning periods.
Teachers must also contact parents via telephone or email if a student accumulates three
consecutive absences or two successive absences. Document all contacts. The SSMT will follow
state law in regard to contacts with students and parents.
However, the superintendent
strongly recommends and supports teacher contacts and it is always appropriate for
teachers to show concern about students who are absent.
Teachers must consistently hold students accountable to get tardy passes when they are
late to class.
Grade Books
41
Teachers are expected to keep accurate grade books. Teachers will be trained on how to keep their
grade books in PowerTeacher. Printouts of teachers grade books must be turned in to the office
before teachers leave for summer vacation.
Grades
Teachers should give the actual grades during the first nine weeks of each semester. Students should
be notified that grades below 60 will be changed to a 60 if their second nine weeks grade is 80 or
higher.
Grading Scale
A=93-100
B=85-92
C=77-84
D=70-76
F=69 and below
Progress Reports
Normally progress reports must be given to all students on the dates established by the county. At
Havelock High School the seminar process will provide progress reports much more often. See the
Seminar Session Schedule in the back of this handbook for progress report dates. We may move
away from printing progress reports when the Power School parent portal becomes available.
Guest Speakers
The principal must approve all guest speakers in advance. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Injuries
All workplace injuries must be reported immediately to the principal or an assistant principal. Injured
teachers must report to the main office and complete paperwork with Nikki Clink or Kathy McGovern.
Human Resources at CCS will schedule a doctors appointment for you. Mrs. Clink or Mr. Paul will
arrange for a substitute teacher or class coverage. Failure to follow procedure may nullify workmans
comp claims.
Lesson Plans
Teachers are required to have organized, written lesson plans for each class period. Lesson plans
should be based on the Common Core Curriculum and Essential Standards. Plans should be aligned
with pacing guides that have been established in course level and department meetings.
Administrators may periodically ask to review a teachers lesson plans during the school year or may
require individual teachers to submit weekly lesson plans if necessary.
Emergency Lesson Plans
Teachers must leave clearly marked emergency lesson plans on their desk. The
lesson plans should be easily identifiable and should be located where any
substitute teacher can find them.
Substitute Lesson Plans
Teachers are required to provide eighty-five minutes of meaningful, curriculum-related
instruction/activity even when they are absent from work. It must be understood that the teacher is
ultimately responsible for making sure that the lesson plans get to the substitute teacher. Detailed
lesson plans should be made available to the substitute in one of the following ways:
o Lesson plans should be clearly marked and placed in the teachers mailbox.
o Lesson plans should be emailed or faxed (252-444-5119) to Mr. Paul prior to the absence.
o Lesson plans should be provided to the substitute via another teacher, department head,
etc.
o Lesson plans should include instructions for taking attendance and specific duty
instructions that tell the substitute when and where to report for assigned teacher duty.
42
Locking Doors and Windows

For security reasons, teachers should keep their doors locked during the school day. Classroom
security is the teachers responsibility. Teachers should also lock their doors and windows anytime
they leave their classroom.
Media Center Passes during Lunch

Students do not need a pass if they arrive at the Media Center prior to the tardy bell. If they go to
the cafeteria to eat and then wish to go to the Media Center, they must have a pass from a staff
member.
Meeting and Testing Calendar

Teachers are responsible for all information on the Meeting and Testing Calendar. All meetings must
be attended and teachers must participate in the testing process as directed by the testing
coordinator or the administration.
Eighty-five Minutes of Instruction

Teachers must provide eighty-five minutes of meaningful instruction during each class period. It
should be the goal of every teacher to use every available minute during a class to work towards
SCOS goals. Giving ten minutes of free time every period adds up to 900 minutes a semester. That
translates to a loss of fifteen hours of instructional time. Students who are not busy tend to get into
trouble so plan for eighty-five minutes of meaningful instruction per period each day.
Non-Instructional Employee Visitation

Teachers and other staff are not to sit in the office areas of clerical personnel, guidance personnel,
administrators, media specialists, the curriculum coordinator etc. to socialize. Office personnel have
job requirements that are time sensitive and they do not have time to shoot the breeze with
teachers or other staff who have hopefully finished their work for the day.
Online Purchase Orders

Dr. Murphy will E-mail the Havelock High School purchase order form to teachers at the beginning of
the year. Teachers should not order anything regardless of the involved fund without a completed
purchase order approved by the principal.
Parties
There will be no parties during instructional time. Any classroom activity that involves food and drink
in the classroom must be approved by the principal prior to the activity. (Career Technical Classes
that involve food preparation are exempt).
Passes
Bathroom Passes
Students are expected to use the restrooms between classes. Teachers should develop a system that
limits trips to the restroom during instructional times. No students should be sent out of the room
without a pass. Use the hall pass provided by administrators as this helps ensure accountability.
Hall Passes
Students must not be in the hallway during class unless they have a written hall pass. The hall pass
should be filled out by the teacher and should include all information that is requested on the form.
43
Use the hall pass provided by administrators as this helps ensure accountability. Teachers
must see an assistant principal for hall pass forms.
Parking Lot Passes
Only administrators can approve passes to the parking lot. Teachers may write a pass to send the
student to their administrators who will then approve or disapprove the trip to the parking lot.
Passes to Class
Teachers may not hold students in their classes to complete work when it is time for the next class.
Students may not be pulled from a class to complete work for another class without the prior
agreement of the principal.
Re teach/Retest for Students

Teachers must have a policy in their classroom addressing re-teaching and retesting students.
Students should be given the opportunity to retest a minimum of two times per nine weeks. Test
corrections may take the place of retests, as long as the policy is consistent within all class sections
of the same course. Honors courses may be different from the regular sections of the same course,
but all sections of the same honors course must be the same. Students may retest for the highest
grade point of the next letter grade. For example,
Original Test Grade
F
D
C
B
A
Highest Possible Retest Grade

76
84
92
100
100
This information must be included on Classroom Management Plans.
S Days
S Days are not Spirit Days. Teachers should not wear jeans, sneakers etc. on S Days.
Social Networking Websites

Teachers are to follow the Craven County Acceptable Use policy when contacting or communicating
with students via the Internet. This policy states that teacher should use district or district approved
technology sources to contact and or provide information to students and parents, i.e. GroupWise,
Wiki spaces, etc. Current Havelock High School students should not be accepted as friends on
teacher Facebook pages or on other social networking sites. Teachers also should not discuss
students or school situations or events on social networking websites (FERPA violation). Young
teachers who may have just come from undergraduate programs should cleanse their Facebook
pages or make sure that they are listed a private.
Surveys
Teachers are encouraged to survey their students in the classroom as part of the continuous
improvement process. Surveys written for parents or faculty must be approved in advance by the
administration.
Teacher Web Pages

Teachers are required by the principal to use an appropriate free website service (Google, Wiki or
Moodle) to post their syllabus, assignments, reminders, etc. Websites can be instrumental in
communicating with parents and students. The websites must be updated on a weekly basis or set
44
up in a way that shows assignment deadlines etc. for the entire semester. Students and parents will
have log in rights to PowerSchool to view grades and assignments. Please keep this information
updated.
Teachers should also post rubrics and any other written materials that give parents and students an
understanding of grading policies and the weight of individual assignments. Worksheets, review
notes and study guides may also be included if applicable. Teachers should limit personal information
and should not post pictures of students unless they have verified that Media Release Agreements
giving parental permission are on file.
Teachers should refer to their websites on a regular basis in order to make them a part of the
classroom culture. Students should be reminded to check the websites for information and should
learn to think of the teacher website as a classroom source.
Testing Modifications
Test modifications are assigned to students through ECP, 504, or ESL services. Students MUST
receive their individual test modifications unless a student refuses them. If a student refuses his/her
test modifications, use the following process.
1. Notify the students case manager for ECP or Caleb King for 504??? or Donna Elliot for ESL.
2. Notify the parent. If necessary, the IEP will be changed. However, an IEP will not be
changed during mid-terms or final exams.
It is the teachers responsibility to know a students modifications. When providing appropriate test
modification,
1. Use teachers in your department/hallway to assist you.
2. Do not sit the student in the hallway outside your room or send to the Guidance Office.
3. Make sure the environment is conducive for testing, particularly if you send students to the
media center for testing.
4. Notify your colleagues in advance if you plan to send students to them.
School Volunteers
The following procedures will be followed for the 2014-15 school year:
1. Current Volunteers that have completed their online volunteer application AND the
fingerprint/background check process, DO NOT have to do anything to remain on the current
volunteer listing.
2. New Volunteers (including active duty personnel) need to complete the online volunteer
application at www.craven.k12.nc.us AND complete the fingerprint/background check process. New
volunteers need to be aware that the fingerprint/background check process can take up to 4-6
weeks so they need to plan accordingly for fieldtrips.
3. Exceptions: Active duty law enforcement (military or civilian) need to complete the online
volunteer application at www.craven.k12.nc.us AND complete the "Fingerprint information sheet"
and the "Authority for release of information sheet" ONLY. (See attached)
5. Exceptions: EOC proctors (volunteering only during testing sessions) DO NOT need to
complete the online application or the fingerprint process.
Faculty/Department Parties, Cookouts
45
Any party, celebration or cookout that involves the use of gas or charcoal grills or school facilities
other than department workrooms must be approved in advance by the principal. If grills are
involved in the preparation of food, they must be located away from doors and windows to keep
smoke from coming into the building.
