3 SCHOOLWIDE RULES: 1. GENERAL SCHOOL RULES: Students must follow their teachers directions and classroom rules. Students must be respectful and follow the directions of the teachers, aides, or volunteers on duty at any time in school. Students must treat each other kindly and show concern for all other students wellbeing and feelings. Students must do nothing that will interfere with their own learning or other students learning. Students must always ask permission to use the bathroom and use them quickly and appropriately and return to the classroom, cafeteria, or playground, immediately. Running is only allowed on the grass areas. Do not run on the cement sidewalks or in the cafeteria. Play on the appropriate grade level playground. Any form of fighting, including play fighting, rough play or wrestling is not allowed at any time. (Map attached) 2. ALL PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED IN A SAFE AND APPROPRIATE MANNER: Do not push or grab another student on any equipment. Do not walk, run or climb up the slides. Go down the slides one at a time sitting with feet in front. Do not play tag or chase games. Do not jump off high equipment. Two hands must be used on the pull up parallel bars. While on the bars do not turn, pull or grab legs, or any other dangerous movements. Do not run or play behind, around, under, or between the swings. Only one person is allowed on the swings at a time and he/she must be seated properly. Pushing and jumping off or twisting on swings is not allowed. July

4 3. ALL GAMES (SOCCER, FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, TETHERBALL, BASKETBALL, FOUR SQUARE) MUST BE PLAYED ACCORDING TO THE RULES OF THE GAME: No tackle games of any kind are permitted. Only students playing the game are allowed to be in the middle of the field or court, if a game is being played. Everyone will play safely, taking care to make sure that no one is hurt or has hurt feelings. No using hands, elbows, or upper body to push, grab, or move other players. No kicking other students (only the ball in soccer). Teams must be organized without fighting, bullying, bribing, or causing hurt feelings. Everyone who wants to should be allowed to play. If someone falls, everyone must stop play until it is clear that no one is hurt seriously, and/or the duty aide is called. If the duty aide blows the whistle, everyone must stop play. If someone is called by the aides to sit out, there will be no arguments. When someone has been called to sit out more than three times, they will not play for a month. If someone is hurt badly and needs to go to the nurse, and/or the aide is called because of problems more than three times during a recess, the aide will stop the game. If someone is hurt badly due to reasons other than an unavoidable accident, or if there is repeated problems with breaking the rules and arguing or fighting, the principal will stop the game for a month, or until the end of the school year. 4. DRESSCODE: Boulder Creek follows the same dress code as the GPS District, as set out in the Board Policy and Parent Handbook. If the dress code is violated, the school staff will attempt to rectify the problem, (e.g. provide a shirt if available), but if not possible a parent will be called. July

5 5. BULLYING AND HARASSMENT: Bullying: The act of systemically and chronically inflicting physical harm and/or psychological distress on others (to include, but not limited to, fear, anxiety, psychological and emotional harm). Harassment: Mistreatment of another student based upon, but not limited to, race, national origin, gender, religion, disability, or how a student looks. It may include verbal or physical threats, slurs, and acts of physical aggression, intimidation, discrimination, or making false accusations. There is zero tolerance for bullying and harassment in the GPS District. If bullying or harassment is reported, after investigation by the teacher, a referral to the principal is made. Parents are called to a meeting, if there is sufficient evidence that the report is accurate. If a student believes they are being bullied or harassed they must report it to their classroom teacher immediately. If a student is embarrassed to report the incident or incidents they may notify another adult at the school and/or complete a Statement of Fact. The classroom teacher will look into the matter and notify the principal. NOTE: Sometimes one isolated mean act to another student is falsely called Bullying or Harassment. But, if a student feels they are bullied or harassed the teacher(s) will investigate and find out what is happening. 6. TOYS, ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND CELL PHONES/ SMARTWATCH: No toys, or electronic devices such as games or ipods, are allowed at school. If a student needs a cell phone for the end of the day, it must remain in their backpack all day. If a phone/smartwatch is

6 used inappropriately or rings, it will be confiscated. At this time, a parent will need to come to retrieve the phone and sign a document, giving the student one more chance to appropriately handle the phone in school. If another incident occurs, the phone will not be allowed in school again.
