In the fall of 2016, the Lexington Academic Boosters chose to focus their support on providing scholarships to Lexington graduates. Lexington Minuteman Academic Scholarships (LMAS) were named to honor the former organization, and the LMAS committee was created.

Since 2016, the Lexington Local School District, along with Lexington High School, has offered scholarships to graduating Lexington High School or Pioneer Career and Technical Center seniors who have demonstrated an outstanding academic record, have participated in school related activities, and have provided service to the community.

The purpose of these scholarships is to offset costs associated with college or continuing education. Scholarships are awarded following the successful completion of the 1st semester of college or continuing education. A grade card or transcript is required for verification.

How can you help?

Please consider donating to the Lexington Minuteman Academic Scholarship fund to support our graduating seniors who plan to further their education and build upon the knowledge gained during their time in the Lexington Schools. Lexington High School takes great pride in the citizens who graduate and set out to make a difference in the world. Your tax deductible donation will help provide Lexington Minuteman Academic Scholarships this year and build the LMAS Fund to provide awards for future graduates of Lexington Schools.

STUDENT HANDBOOK
2010-2011
LEXINGTON HIGH
SCHOOL
www.lexington.k12.oh.us

Philosophy of Education
The basic function of education is the development of the inherent abilities of each
student. Therefore, our curriculum must meet the needs and desires of every student on a
mental, cultural, emotional, social, and physical level. We accept the responsibility for
developing fundamental skills, creating an atmosphere for constructive, creative, and reflective
thinking. Also, we accept the responsibility for promoting an understanding of the democratic
way of life and encouraging the practice of good citizenship through the development of values
of behavior emphasizing respect for others and their rights and responsibility for private and
public property.
We, as educators, have a responsibility to teach an appreciation for those who were
responsible in making our country great. Each child should be taught to value his heritage and
to accept his duties and obligations as a contributing member of our society.
We believe that our school should accept the individual as he is and guide him toward
his maximum growth. We realize that development of the intellect is not sufficient, but that the
total personality must be developed. Our school program should create in each individual an
appreciation of the various areas of our culture which includes the humanities, arts, and
sciences. We believe teaching demands that experiences be provided for students in an effective
manner to create a desire for learning and prepare them for the changes that occur daily. From
this each student should be able to recognize and appreciate the multicultural and multiracial
heritage of our society.
Educational Objectives
To achieve the Lexington Local Schools philosophy, students should experience a broad
and balanced education meeting the following objectives:
1. Maintain an appropriate educational environment
2. Develop and maintain good physical and mental health.
3. Become an effective and contributing citizen of our ever changing society.
4. Realize satisfaction in the areas of intellectual achievement, rationality and
creativity.
5. Become aware of our multicultural society, our heritage background, and
appreciation of the development and citizen responsibility of democratic society.
6. Develop a command of basic reading and writing skills, written or oral
communication skills, and logical thinking processes.
7. Develop awareness of social obligations to the development of skills needed to
participate in school and community.
8. Gain enjoyment, experience and self-confidence from planning and participating in
an enriched and varied social life.

TEACHER CONTACT PROCEDURES
If questions/concerns arise about anything that has happened in class, for example, a test
or quiz grade or even a simple comment, parents are encouraged to use the following steps:
1. Contact the teacher in question either by phone, 419-884-1111 (each teacher has a
phone in their room) or by email (teacher email addresses are listed on the high
school web page (www.lexington.k12.oh.us). If questions/concerns still remain, go to
step two.
2. Contact the high school principal at 419-884-1111. If the question/concern continues
to exist, go to step three.
3. Contact the superintendent at 419-844-2132.
Please note: It has been our observation over the years that most questions/concerns end after
step one from above.
SCHOOL REGULATIONS
ATTENDANCE
There is a close relationship between student attendance and academic achievement.
Absence is one of the greatest causes of poor school work and failures. Each day is important to
the student’s overall educational progress. In addition to the educational deficiency, a poor
attendance record is a question that occurs when employers ask for a school recommendation
pertaining to a job. Students are encouraged to make every effort to be present.
State law now requires all schools in the State of Ohio to notify parents when their
children are absent from school. We are asking that parents/guardians assist us in meeting
this law by calling the high school phone number, available 24 hours a day, at 419-884-
2200 as early as possible to report your child absent. The procedure we will follow, if not
contacted by parents, is that we will make two phone calls home in an effort to contact parents
and notify them that their child is not in school. We will use phone numbers taken from the
census data forms that are filled out by the parents, guardians, etc. at the beginning of the school
year. Working together in this way will enable us to ensure the safety of all the students at the
high school.
In addition to the above state law, we are requiring that upon return to school after an
absence, even if a student has left school ill with parent permission or is on medical status
students will report to the attendance office before school starts with a written note from
their parent/guardian (and doctor, if applicable) which explains the absence. Any student
who does not bring a note from a parent or guardian upon returning to school, must submit the
required note(s) by the following morning unless other arrangements have been made with the
dean of students. Notes not received within five days will result in the absence being
permanently recorded as unexcused. Failure to follow the above policy will result in the
student’s absence being recorded as unexcused. STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO
HAVE A PARENT OR GUARDIAN SIGN ALL EXCUSES, NOTES AND OTHER
REQUIRED OR NECESSARY FORMS. The note must contain: l) student’s name 2) date(s)
of absence 3) reason for absence 4) signature of parent or guardian and
5) a telephone number where parent can be reached. Please be reminded that a parent
request for an excused absence from school may not constitute a school excused absence.
3
The student will then be issued an admit slip which is to be presented to each of his teachers
during the day. The slip will be returned by the last teacher whose class was missed. The
teacher will return it to the office at the end of the school day.
School policy states that students who are absent for 10 days during the school year,
excused or unexcused, will be put on medical status. At this point, only a medical note, court
excuse, death in the immediate family or principal’s approval will be accepted.
The following procedures will be used in conjunction with the Richland County Juvenile Court:
1. 2 unexcused days absence; a warning letter will be sent home to alert the parent
2. 5 unexcused days absence; parent/student are required to attend a half hour
Attendance/Truancy Awareness Program. Failure to attend results in an unofficial hearing at the
Juvenile Court.
3. 8 days unexcused absence; unofficial hearing
4. 12-15 days unexcused absence; official hearing may be scheduled
Absence from school is legal and may be approved for the following reasons under
Section 3301-51-13 of the Ohio Administrative Code. Absences for reasons other than those
listed below will be considered UNEXCUSED. Students will not receive credit for any work
due/grades given during an unexcused absence. UNEXCUSED ABSENCES MAY CARRY
DISCIPLINARY ACTION DEPENDING UPON THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
l. Personal illness
2. Illness in the immediate family
3. Quarantine of the home
4. Death of a relative
5. Necessary work at home limited to emergency conditions only
6. Observance of religious holidays
7. Family emergency or set of circumstances which in the judgment of the school
authority constitutes a good and sufficient cause for absence from school.
Board of education policy also provides for future or anticipated absences. All future or
anticipated absences should be requested in writing to the dean of students at least two
days in advance of the future or anticipated absence. Examples of future absences that will
be accepted as excused are:
l. Family vacations or family trips with a parent or guardian
2. College and vocational visitations
3. Farm work on the farm of parent or guardian
4. Tournament level competitions with parent or guardian supervision.
• Requests to be excused for tournament level competition must be made in
writing and contain the name of parent or guardian who will be responsible
for supervision.
• Students on medical status are not eligible
4
General reasons for absences such as “out of town” or “personal reasons” will require
further details to determine if the absence may be excused. The final decision regarding
excusing absences will be that of the building principal.
PLEASE NOTE: For permanent record reporting a one-half day absence begins at 11:10
a.m.
ARRIVAL TO SCHOOL
1. Cell phones turned off
2. Other electronic devices turned off
3. Hats/hoods off head
4. All beverages, including coffee must be consumed before entering the building
5. Bottled/canned beverages; with the exception of pure water, must be kept in your
locker during the school day.
APPOINTMENTS
Early dismissal will be granted for the reasons allowable for legal absences. You are
encouraged to schedule appointments with your doctor or dentist other than during school hours.
However, when emergency demands, the appointment should be made as early or as late in the
school day as possible, or during study halls, if there is enough time. Time missed from school
for an appointment should coincide with the time period of the appointment itself as well
as travel to and from the appointment. Under normal circumstances students will not be
allowed to leave during the school day to retrieve forgotten items at home. APPOINTMENTS
FOR SENIOR PICTURES AND JOB INTERVIEWS ARE TO BE MADE OUTSIDE
THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY.
To obtain an early dismissal slip, bring a written note signed by parent or guardian
requesting permission to leave, stating the reason for early dismissal and a telephone number
where the signing parent may be reached for verification. Arrangements for appointments are
to be made before school in the attendance office on the day of the appointment.
COLLEGE VISITATIONS, JOB SHADOWING VISITS, AND VOCATIONAL
PLACEMENT VISITS
For purposes of definition, a college visit includes two-year and four-year colleges and
training institutions in areas such as business, modeling, cosmetology, etc. Job shadowing refers
to visiting an adult workplace in a career interest area while under the tutelage/supervision of an
adult at the work site. Vocational visits refer to visits to Pioneer Career and Technology Center
or related Tech Prep sites for purposes of future placement in programs at those sites.
l. Juniors and seniors only are permitted on college visits; any student in grades 9-12 is
permitted to take a job shadowing visit. Vocational visits will be arranged as needed by the
counselors.
2. All visitations are not to be used the last two weeks of school or the last week of a grading
period.
3. A limit of two college visits and two job shadowing days per year is allowed. A record of
these days will be kept in the attendance office.
5
4. A note from the student’s parents should be in the attendance office two days prior to the
scheduled visit.
5. All visitation forms are to be given to teachers to sign and then returned to the attendance
office. The office will give the student additional form(s) to be signed by the site where the
visit occurs. The signed form(s) will act as the student’s admission slip to class the day after
his or her visit.
6. School work assigned during these absences is due on the day of return.
7. ANY EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY MUST BE APPROVED BY THE BUILDING
PRINCIPAL. EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO REQUEST THE EXCEPTION
IN ADVANCE OF THE ABSENCE.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS/EXCESSIVE ABSENCE
The administration reserves the right to withhold credits for full year course(s) from a
student accumulating more than 20 days absence per course or for semester course(s) from a
student accumulating more than 10 days absence per course. Missing over one-half of a class
period constitutes an absence for the period for the purpose of this excessive absence policy.
The only exceptions to this will be:
Hospitalization
Participation in a school sponsored function
Doctor’s excuse which is submitted before the end of the six-week grading period in
which the absence occurs
Professional counseling
Emergency or set of circumstances which in the judgement of the building principal
constitutes a good and sufficient cause for absence from school.
The classroom time missed over ten days for a semester course (twenty days for a year
course) must be made up if credit is to be obtained for the course. A student will receive a letter
grade of “G” on his/her report card until tutoring is completed. “G” grades are only issued in
courses which have been passed.
Students who are near or over the excessive absence limits are strongly discouraged
from requesting prearranged absences such as vacations, college and job shadowing visitations,
etc. as this only adds to the excessive absence problem.
Make-up work will be completed by personal tutoring with the approval of the student
services center and dean of students. All arrangements and costs involved will be the
responsibility of the student. All make-up work shall be completed within two weeks after
receiving the final grade card for the course(s) in question.
Seniors will be required to have all of their “G” grade make-up work completed
before receiving their diploma. They will, however, be permitted to march in graduation
providing they have make-up work in no more than one course required for graduation.
TARDIES TO SCHOOL
6
A student accumulating five tardies to school (excused and/or unexcused) will be
assigned a one-day Friday school assignment for each group of five tardies. These tardies will
be accumulative for the semester. Please note: Any student tardy to first period is
considered tardy to school. Arrivals to school between 7:45-11:10 are considered tardies to
school and after 11:10 is a half-day absence. Tardies resulting from a medical appointment
(doctor, dentist, etc.) or tardies which were pre-arranged following school guidelines will not be
counted towards the five-tardy limit.
Tardies resulting from babysitting, oversleeping, car problems, etc. may result in missed school
work not being made up. After the fifth set of five tardies to school (25),
an out of school suspension will be issued.
TARDIES TO CLASS
A student accumulating three tardies to classes in a six-weeks grading period will be
required to serve one detention from 2:40-3:25 on Wednesdays under the supervision of a school
employee. Class work or reading materials will be required in the detention room. A student
who is excessively late to class may be issued five misconduct points.
Additional tardies in multiples of three will be subject to additional detentions. Failure
to serve a detention will result in the issuance of five points. In the case of a student not
bringing study materials to detention or becoming a discipline problem while there, the student
will be removed immediately from detention and points issued.
After a student’s third tardy detention, a Friday school will be assigned in place of a
tardy detention. After a third Friday school has been assigned, additional tardies to class in
multiples of three may result in out-of-school suspension.
Students and parent/guardians will be notified at least twenty-four hours before detention
is to be served. Students serving detentions will be required to arrange their own transportation
home on the day the detention is served. Classroom tardies are not cumulative and will begin
anew on the first day of each grading period. However, the penalties just described for tardiness
to class are cumulative for the year.
Students who request permission to go to their car during the school day may go
but will be issued a tardy to class.
Excessive tardies to class may carry further disciplinary action depending upon the
circumstances.
MAKE-UP WORK
Students who are absent from school must contact their teachers concerning makeup
work. It is the student’s responsibility to take the initiative and get the work made up
within the allotted time. Tests are to be made up during a student’s study hall time or after
school under the direct supervision of a teacher. Tests missed due to a partial day
7
absence are to be made up that same day if the student has a scheduled study hall. It is the
student’s responsibility to make these arrangements upon his/her return to school.
After an excused absence all make-up work, homework and missed tests must be
completed in two days for each school day missed or the grade may become an “F”. There are two
exceptions to this policy:
1) If a student is absent on the day immediately preceding a previously announced
test and that day is used for review only, the student will be expected to take the
test as scheduled.
2) If a student is absent the day of the test and was present for the review, the
student will be expected to take the test on the day he/she returns to school.
NECESSARY STUDY MATERIALS MAY BE SECURED BY CONTACTING THE MAIN
OFFICE AND ARRANGING FOR THOSE MATERIALS TO BE SENT HOME.
When students are absent from one or several classes to attend a special activity of
another class or organization, they are expected to obtain the assignments of the missed class
and keep up with their work. SINCE A STUDENT IS NOT CONSIDERED ABSENT FROM
SCHOOL, THE MAKE-UP POLICY DOES NOT APPLY. If at all possible, students should
not miss class tests for special activities.
BEFORE A STUDENT WILL BE EXCUSED FOR A FAMILY VACATION OF
MORE THAN ONE DAY, HE MUST BRING A NOTE FROM HOME STATING HE WILL
BE WITH A PARENT/GUARDIAN. A student must apply at the office
(a minimum of two days in advance of vacation) for an assignment sheet to be signed by each of
his teachers. Failure to follow the above procedure may result in the time missed being marked
“unexcused”. When the student returns he/she has two school days to turn in homework which
was assigned during the absence. Homework assigned prior to the vacation which is due during
the vacation should be turned in 1) prior to leaving school, or 2) on day of return to school. All
tests must be made up within a period equal to the time absent. Failure to do so will result in an
“F” grade. In case of college, vocational, or job shadowing visits, work assigned is due on day
of return.
VISITORS
Social visits are prohibited. The school policy is to accept only those visitors who
have legitimate business to attend to at the school. Parents are always welcome. Students
wishing to bring a guest to school must obtain prior approval from the principal’s office and
secure a pass. Visitors are expected to leave promptly when their business is completed. No
guests will be permitted to attend school on days immediately preceding or following vacations
or during the first or last two weeks of school. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved
in advance by the principal.
EARLY RELEASED TIME
With the approval of the administration a credit junior or senior may be released from
the seventh period study hall. This is a privilege, not a right, and is contingent upon:
l. Parental written approval is received
2. The dean of students receives verification by phone call from parent
8
3. Transportation provided by student is confirmed
4. Passing grades in all subjects in the preceding grading periods (includes 6th grade
period of previous year)
5. All required parts of the Ohio Graduation Test have been passed
6. Verbal verification of the above criteria occurs between the supervising dean of
students and the student
7. No outstanding G-grades or incompletes
8. Student not on medical status
No student schedules will be changed to arrange a period seven study hall, (NOR WILL
STUDENTS WHO DROP A SCHEDULED SEVENTH PERIOD CLASS BE ELIGIBLE FOR
EARLY DISMISSAL). Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the principal. Early
dismissal students will be expected to leave the building shortly after the 6th period bell and are
not to return until 2:45 if involved in an after school activity.
DRIVING REGULATIONS
All automobiles driven to and from school by students must be registered in the office.
Failure to register a car driven to school may result in disciplinary action. Application blanks will
be provided for students, and they must be filled out and returned to the office before permission
will be granted.
When students come to school, their cars must be parked and should be locked and not
driven again until the end of the school day. Students who participate in co-curricular activities
after school are expected to leave vehicles parked. They are not permitted to move their cars
next to the building for the purpose of convenience. Students who park their cars in
unauthorized areas (behind school, faculty parking lot, new gym parking lot, etc.) are subject to
disciplinary actions. Upon arrival to school students are to immediately enter the building
and are NOT permitted to leave the building prior to the end of the day without the
permission from a building administrator and signing the “sign out” list. Driving, riding,
or sitting in cars before school, during school hours, or lunch period is prohibited.
Loitering on school grounds after school is not permitted as well. Students who request
permission to go to their car during the school day may go but will be issued a tardy to
class. Special permission to drive a car during school hours may be granted only by the principal
and dean of students. Violations will result in restriction to the grounds, misconduct points,
suspension of driving privileges, or suspension from school.
Students are to drive cautiously while entering and leaving school grounds. Students’
cars may not leave while school buses are departing from the school grounds, and may not enter
or leave the lot when and where the buses load and unload. State law requires pedestrians to
use the crosswalks and a reminder to drivers that pedestrians have the right of way.
Students are not to smoke in their cars when the cars are on school property. School
officials retain the right to examine the contents and/or search a car parked on school premises
when they have a reasonable suspicion that items contained in the car may interfere with the safe
or effective operation of the school.
Lexington High School assumes no responsibility for damage to vehicles or loss of
contents incurred while vehicles are parked on school grounds.
The above rules apply to all vehicles.
9
Please note: As of July 1990, several new state laws may affect your driving rights
in Ohio. Schools are required to notify the Registrar of Motor Vehicles and the local
juvenile judge of the following:
1. Habitually truant
2. Withdrawal from school under eighteen years of age
3. Suspension/expulsion related to drugs
4. Underage smoking-loss of driving privileges for 30 days
BUS TRANSPORTATION
Special routes are followed by school buses to take students to and from Lexington High
School. These buses load and unload in the gymnasium parking lot. Upon exiting the school
bus, students are to immediately enter the building.
Students are expected to conduct themselves properly while riding the buses. By law, a
student is under the jurisdiction of the school from the time the student leaves his home until he
returns to his home. High school students are not to ride the elementary buses unless prior
arrangements have been made through the high school office.
Please be reminded that food is not to be consumed on a moving bus as per state statute.
GRADING POLICY

IV. INCOMPLETE (I) POLICY
A. Work may be considered incomplete and the letter grade “I” issued if a student has
missed required assignments due to absences or if required assignments are
submitted incomplete or unsatisfactory.
B. Any student who receives an incomplete grade (I) has two weeks after the last day of

commencement exercises and will not receive a diploma until the incomplete
issued for the final grading period has been removed.
D. The only exception to the incomplete policies will be medically documented
illness/injury which makes it impossible for the student to comply.
V. FINAL GRADES FOR YEAR-LONG COURSE
A. Final grades for all year-long courses will be determined by using six grades.
B. Computing Final Grades
1. Letter grades will be given the following numerical values:
A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = l, F = 0.
11
2. When using six grades to determine final grades, add the numerical values of
the letter grades together and refer to the scale below:
A = 24 23 22
B = 20 19 18 17 16
C = 14 13 12 11 10
D = 8 7 6 5
Example - grading period 1 2 3 4 5 6
C B C D B C
2 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 13 pts.
Final Grade C
3. A student must earn a minimum of five points; and pass two of three second
semester grading periods to pass a course which uses six grades to compute the
final grade.
4. The final grade for a student who earns a total of 2l, 15, or 9 points will be
determined by the average of his/her second semester six-weeks grades.
VI. COMPUTING FINAL GRADES FOR SEMESTER COURSES
A. Computing Final Grades
1. Letter grades for six-week grades will be given the following numerical
values: A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0.
2. When using three grades to determine the final grade for a semester course
add the numerical values of the letter grades and refer to the scale below:
A = 12 11
B = 10 9 8
C = 7 6 5
D = 4 3
Example = grading period l 2 3
C B C
2 + 3 + 2 = 7 points
Final Grade C
B. A student must earn a minimum of three points, and pass two of the three six-week
grading periods to receive credit for any semester course.
FINAL GRADE REPORTS
As the final grade report is available to parents and students in Progress Book, they
will no longer be mailed home unless requested. Please contact the student services office to
make this request, 419-884-1111 ext. 1412 or 419-884-3454.

VIII. EXAM POLICY
As of the 1999-2000 school year, Lexington High School instituted required semester exams for
students in all courses. The following are guidelines for the exam policy. Please note this policy
may be subject to change.
1. An exam may be comprehensive for the current semester, but an exam in the second
semester of a year- long course cannot be comprehensive for the course (i.e. it cannot cover
36 weeks worth of subject material). However, basic skills that have been taught during
the year would naturally be expected to be known to answer certain types of questions.
Examples of this might be basic writing skills or concepts in English that were taught early
on and built upon during the year or something like factoring in math.
2. Each exam will count as part of the grade for that six-weeks grading period (3rd and 6th).
Therefore year-long courses will have six grades only and semester courses will have three
grades only that will go into figuring the final grade for the course.
3. The final semester/year exams will reflect 25% of the points in the 3rd/6th grade periods.
4. Teachers in like courses (all English 9 courses, all biology courses, etc.) will give like tests
(not the identical test) to students in those courses with respect to format (i.e. one cannot
give an essay test and the other an objective test).
5. Because exams are mandatory, seniors will be present during the last week of the second
semester. However, the entire senior class may be exempted from taking second semester
exams if certain academic, attendance and behavioral expectations are met (to be
determined by the principal). Any senior who elects to take an exam must notify their
teacher by the last school day for seniors (usually the last Friday in May).
6. Final exams will be given in double-period time slots at the end of the semester and the end
of the school year.
WEIGHTED COURSE GUIDELINES
A “weighted” course at Lexington High School is an upper-level course, a course that is
accelerated in content, pace, and expectations. Across the curriculum a “weighted” course will
afford students opportunities to study the content area more thoroughly, to enhance technology
use, to conduct independent research, and to be more realistically prepared for the rigors of postsecondary
study. Prior to enrolling in a “weighted” course, students may be required to sign a
contract ensuring their commitment to the course requirements and expectations. A “weighted”
course will continue to receive extra value in the weighted grade-point average used for graduation
honors purposes.
13
The following courses are weighted:
Advanced English 9 AP United States History Enriched Geometry
Advanced English 10 AP U.S. Government & Politics Enriched Algebra II
Advanced English 11 A.P. Chemistry Pre-Calculus (Math Analysis)
Advanced English 12 Physics AP Calculus
Advanced Speech Spanish IV & V AP Calculus II
Reading for College French IV & V
CHEATING
Encouraging and fostering high regard for honesty and integrity is an integral part of our
educational preparation. Therefore the administration, faculty and staff will NOT condone or
tolerate any form of cheating or dishonesty which may include but is not limited to use of cell
phone, copying/providing homework, providing test/quiz information/answers/essays, use of
“cheat sheets”, and use of dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means to obtain or attempt to attain
credit for academic work. Lexington High School subscribes to Turnitin.com for both student
and faculty use.
FIRST CHEATING OFFENSE - The student will receive zero points/no credit for the
assignment, test, project, etc. involved; the teacher will notify the dean of students of the
incident; and the teacher will talk with the student’s parents about the incident.
SECOND CHEATING OFFENSE REPORTED TO THE OFFICE - The student will
receive zero points/no credit for the assignment, test, project, etc. involved; the student will be
referred to the dean of students and subject to disciplinary action which may include suspension.
Subsequent offenses will result in disciplinary action as per the sequence of suspendable
offenses found in this handbook.
RECOGNITIONS, ALL “A’s”, HONOR ROLL, AND MERIT ROLL
There shall be three academic recognitions at the end of each grading period.
1. All A’s (4.0+ G.P.A.)
2. Honor Roll (3.99-3.50 G.P.A.)
3. Merit Roll (3.49-3.0 G.P.A.)
These recognitions shall be determined by calculating each student’s non weighted and
weighted grade point average (GPA) for the concluding grading period only. The highest G.P.A.
will be used.
In figuring GPA for Honor Roll and Merit Roll, quality points earned in weighted
courses will be used:
Non Weighted: A = 4 pts. B = 3 pts. C = 2 pts. D = 1 pt. F = 0 pts.
Weighted: A = 5 pts. B = 4 pts. C = 3 pts. D = 2 pts. F = 0 pts.
14
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Participation in the graduation ceremony is considered a student activity and therefore a
privilege, not a right. A student must meet the following requirements to receive a diploma
from Lexington High School:
A senior who is no more than one credit short of the minimum graduation requirements
may participate in the graduation ceremony, but will not receive a diploma until all graduation
requirements have been completed. The passing of all five sections of the OGT (Ohio
Graduation Test) will count as one credit toward graduation with respect to the above stated
sentence regarding participation in the graduation ceremony. The test does not count as a credit
toward the required 21 credits for graduation. Any student short more than one credit may not
participate in the graduation ceremony. Any senior who receives an incomplete (I) for the final
grading period must meet all requirements to have the incomplete grade removed before he/she
may participate in the graduation ceremony.
Student must earn a minimum total of 21 credits:
4 credits of English 3 credits of science
3 credits of social studies 3 credits of mathematics
1 credit of health/physical education
1 credit business/technology, fine arts, and/or foreign language. All music classes and art
classes in the Lexington High School curriculum satisfy the fine arts requirement.
Students attending Pioneer Career & Technology Center must meet the following
requirements for graduation from Lexington:
4 credits of English 3 credits of science
3 credits of mathematics l credit of health/physical education
3 credits of social studies
Elective credits as needed to total 21
Earn vocational certificate
Any required deficiencies must be completed prior to graduation. Please note that
graduation requirements are minimum requirements. Most students have earned more than 21
credits at the close of their senior year.
It is the responsibility of the student to see that requirements for graduation are met. The
high school makes every effort to keep current records and to keep students and parents
informed about the status of progress toward completing the work necessary to meet these
requirements. However, it is up to the student to make sure that he or she is acquainted with the
necessary requirements to meet this goal.
Seniors are automatically registered for graduation.
STUDENT SERVICES CENTER
15
Lexington High School Department of Guidance and Counseling is committed to meeting the
unique intellectual, physical, social and emotional needs of each student. The guidance counselors
are student advocates. A variety of services are provided to support this effort.
If students need help in any way, they should contact their counselor. Students can arrange
appointments through the Student Services Secretary. After hours appointments can be arranged
with the individual counselors.
Counselor Alphabet Breakdown:
Mrs. Diana Hurlow A - F
Mrs. Kristen McPeek G - M
Mrs. Bobbi Weaver N - Z
Counselors assist students in the college selection process. Beginning in the junior year, students
are instructed as to the appropriate sequence of activities they need to follow in order to identify
colleges that match their needs. Counselors present information through large group assemblies,
classroom guidance activities and individual conferences. Students learn how to access materials
that include computer search programs, college guide books, catalogues and videos. These are
available in the Student Services Office. Students are also provided opportunities to attend the
annual college fair in mid-September to visit with college representatives who come to our campus
each fall. Every senior will be required to attend “Senior College Boot Camp.” This is a two-day
counselor directed event that will occur during early release that will help guide each student
through the college application process. All parents are reminded to frequently check the
Student Services link on the Lexington High School website where information on testing,
scholarships, financial aid and important upcoming events can be found. (PrepHQ)
COURSE REQUESTS/SCHEDULE CHANGES/DROPPING A COURSE
Students and parents are urged to make careful course selections. Please pay close attention to prerequisites,
graduation and college requirements, NCAA requirements, athletic eligibility
requirements, and course fees. Students are expected to complete classes in which they are
enrolled.
Minimum Load: Students in grade 12 must be scheduled for 5 classes daily. Students in grades
9, 10, & 11 must be scheduled for a minimum of 6 classes daily.
Dropping a Course: Permission to drop a course is difficult to obtain. Please see curriculum
guide page 9 for details. Please understand that assignment of teaching staff is based on course
registration.
Repeating a Course/Grade Replacement:
If a student receives a final grade of a “C” or lower and wishes to repeat the course in order to
improve their skills, the transcript will reflect the average of the two final grades and one credit
will be awarded.
PROMOTION TO THE NEXT GRADE IS BASED ON CREDITS EARNED
Sophomore 5.0 credits as a freshman
16
Junior 10.0 credits through the sophomore year
Senior 15.0 credits through the junior year
.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Many scholarships are available to students interested in obtaining financial assistance.
Information can be obtained from the student services center on individual scholarship amounts
and necessary qualifications. Seniors are reminded to report, using PrepHQ, all scholarships
awarded along with the amount to the student services office.
ACADEMIC AWARDS
At the conclusion of each school year, academic awards are presented to our students in
an evening program sponsored by the Lexington Academic Boosters. There will also be a
second award assembly during the school day to provide further recognition for our students.
National as well as local scholarships are awarded and recognized at this time. Plaques are also
given to the outstanding student in each department area as well as departmental awards based
on criteria set up by the individual departments.
Scholarship pins and a recognition breakfast are given on a different date to those
students in grades nine through twelve who have a 3.5 non weighted or weighted G.P.A.
(whichever is highest) for the year which is figured on grades during the first five grade periods.
ACADEMIC LETTER REQUIREMENTS
Each year a committee of three or more staff members will comprise the Academic
Letter Advisory Board. They will monitor the application process and network with the
Lexington Academic Boosters to provide the letters.
At the end of the fifth grading period, the guidance counselors will compute the grade
point averages for the year to determine which students have earned a minimum 3.8 GPA.
Students will be told where they may pick up an application for the letter by announcement.
The letters will be awarded at the annual Academic Awards Program. The advisory
board will meet after the awards program to determine if any changes to the criteria are needed
for the following year.
As in sports and music, the students may earn a letter in more than one year of high
school. The first year award will be the letter. The second year’s award will be a medal. The
third year award will be a medium plaque, and the final year will be a large plaque.
To earn a letter the student must have a weighted 3.8 GPA through the 5th six-weeks
grading period and accumulate 25 points. Points may be accumulated as follows (others may be
added by the committee):
Mock Trial up to 20 points
Destination Imagination up to 20 points
Academic Challenge up to 20 points
Math Team (OCTM) 5 points

PARENT/STUDENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
Parents are encouraged and invited to meet with teachers during their conference
periods, before or after school. Teachers may also be contacted through our email system at
www.lexington.k12.oh.us
EXTRA HELP
You may always seek help from your teacher if you do not understand an assignment, if
the work is difficult or if you have been absent and have missed assignments and class
discussions. Arrange a conference with your teacher before or after school or at a time
convenient to both of you during the day.
A teacher will sometimes request a student to stay after school if it is apparent that the
student is having difficulty with his work. This is not to be thought of as a punishment, but
rather as a desire of the teacher to help you make the progress of which you are capable.
INTERVENTION ASSISTANCE TEAM (IAT)
A process has been developed in which students who are “at risk” of failing their classes,
in spite of their hard work and regular attendance to school, may receive academic assistance.
The Intervention Assistance Team may consist of two classroom teachers, a guidance counselor,
the school psychologist and one dean of students. Students may be referred to the I.A.T. by; (1)
18
their classroom teachers, (2) their guidance counselor, (3) an administrator, (4) their
parents/guardians, (5) themselves. The Intervention Assistance Team is only involved with a
student after all standard methods of improving academic performance have not been successful.
These methods include, but are not limited to, student seeks extra help before/after school by
classroom teacher, more student time spent at home working on homework, placement of
student to the front of class along with other classroom strategies, etc.
The goal of the Intervention Assistance Team is to identify those students who
legitimately need academic assistance and who otherwise would continue to fail without its
support.
WORK PERMITS
All students working full or part time are required to secure a work permit. Students may
secure the proper forms from the principal’s office. Please note: the school administration may
revoke a work permit from students who are habitually tardy, absent or in violation of school rules.
SCHOOL INSURANCE
Pupils are provided with an opportunity to apply for school insurance as protection against
injury expenses. Insurance is available for school activities only or for 24 hour year-round
coverage.
All accidents should be reported to the school office or to the athletic director/dean of
students within 48 hours. Students with 24-hour insurance should report to the school or to the
agency (in summer) if the accident occurs outside the school.
CHEMISTRY-PHYSICS-INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY
Special attention of the industrial arts and chemistry-physics student is called to section
331336.43 of the Revised Code of the State of Ohio which requires students to wear
industrial quality eye protective devices and closed toe shoes at all times while participating
in such course or laboratory work.
CLINIC SERVICES
If a student becomes ill in school, he should report to the attendance office. Students
must not leave the building because of illness without authorization.
MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION POLICY
Students requiring medication (prescriptive or over-the-counter) during
the school day shall be administered said medication under the following provisions:
l. A prescribing physician shall indicate the medication is essential during the school
day.
19
2. The “Administering Medication Statement” must be filled out completely each year,
signed and filed with the building principal prior to the time any medication is to be

8. All dental disease prevention programs sponsored by the Ohio Department of
Health, which are in accordance with the rules and regulations of the department,
shall be exempt from the above requirements.
STUDENT VALUABLES
Students are cautioned not to bring large amounts of money, and/or electronic devices to
school, and if they wear glasses or watches, to keep track of them at all times. STUDENTS,
NOT THE SCHOOL, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY. IF
IT IS NECESSARY TO BRING MORE MONEY THAN NEEDED TO PAY FOR
LUNCH, LEAVE IT AT THE OFFICE FOR SAFEKEEPING. DO NOT LEAVE IT IN
YOUR LOCKER. STUDENTS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES AND
STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES SHOULD
ESPECIALLY TAKE HEED TO NOT LEAVE THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS
AND VALUABLES IN AN UNSECURED STATE.
LOST AND FOUND
A lost and found box is placed in the main office. Small or valuable items that are found
will be kept separate.
FIRE, TORNADO, AND SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS
Fire and security drills will be held each month, and tornado drills will be held in March
and April, both to comply with state law and to familiarize students with what to do should any
of these emergencies occur.
Instructions for fire and tornado drills are posted in each classroom. Two keys to
success in these drills are: l) listening to the instructor’s directions, and 2) carrying out
those directions as quickly and silently as possible.
THE LIBRARY
20
Mission statement
The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective
users of ideas and information. The library provides a setting where students develop skills they
will need as adults to locate, analyze, evaluate, interpret, and communicate information and ideas.
Policies
The library will be open for student use from 7:20-3:00 each school day. Extended hours
for the library are available with prior arrangements.
Students may come to the library from study hall for the entire period, as space permits,
and from classes with a pass from the teacher. Students may also come from study hall or classes
to check out or renew materials, or make copies on an individual basis. The number of students
coming to the library from classes and study hall will be limited by the seating capacity of the
library.
Students may use the computers to access the Internet or do word processing, with
preference given to students with passes from a subject teacher.
The regular circulation period for library materials will be three weeks with overnight
privileges extended for reference and closed reserve materials. Students with late books are not
permitted to check out materials until the overdue materials are returned. NO DAILY FINES
ARE CHARGED, BUT LOST BOOKS MUST BE PAID FOR OR REPLACED.
Conduct
Students using the library during class periods are expected to be using library materials.
Some of those materials may be newspapers, magazines, books, or computers. The library is not
an alternate study hall or student lounge.
Extended conversations about class work and group work are permitted, with permission
only, in the designated group work area. Only brief, whispered conversations are permitted in
other parts of the library.
All school rules apply in the library. Students creating any type of disturbance or misusing
materials will be denied access to the library for a period of time, and the administration will be
notified.
COMPUTER NETWORK AND INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE AND INTERNET
SAFETY POLICY
The Lexington School District is making advanced technology and increased access to
learning opportunities available to our students and the staff. We offer students and staff access
to resources such as, but not limited to, word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation
and reference materials. Students and staff have the opportunity to access online information
found on the Internet. The Internet service is provided to the Lexington School District through
North Central Ohio Computer Cooperative (NCOCC).
CONDITIONS AND RULES FOR USE:
1. Acceptable Use
a. The purpose of the computer network, both inter- and intra-net, is to facilitate
communications in support of research and education, by providing access to
21
unique resources and an opportunity for collaborative work. To remain eligible as

on user accounts and to monitor file server space in order for NCOCC or the District to
make determinations on whether specific uses of the network are inappropriate. In
reviewing and monitoring user accounts and file server space, NCOCC and the
Lexington School District shall respect the privacy of user accounts.
4. User responsibilities and guidelines
All users are expected to abide by the generally accepted rules of network etiquette. The
rules and regulations of net etiquette are subject to change by the administration. These
rules include but are not limited to the following:

resource and not for entertainment.
5. No Warranties
NCOCC and the Lexington School District make no warranties of any kind, whether
express or implied, for the service it is providing. NCOCC and the Lexington School
District will not be responsible for any damages a user suffers. This includes loss of data
resulting from delays, no-deliveries, mis-deliveries, or service interruptions caused by
NCOCC or the District’s negligence or by the users errors or omissions. Use of any
information obtained via the Internet is at the users own risk. NCOCC and the
Lexington School District specifically deny any responsibility for the accuracy or quality
of information obtained through its services. All users need to consider the source of any
information they obtain, and consider how valid that information may be.
6. Security
a. Security on any computer system is a high priority, especially when the system
involves many users. Users must never allow others to use their password. Users
should also protect their password to ensure system security and their own
privilege and ability to continue to make use of the system.
b. If you feel you can identify a security problem or misuse of the network, you must
notify a teacher, principal, or system administrator. Do not demonstrate the
problem to other users.
c. The student in whose name an Internet access is issued is responsible for its proper
use at all times. Users shall keep personal account numbers, home addresses and
telephone numbers private. They shall use this system only under their own
personal account.
d. Any user identified as a security risk for having a history of problems with other
computer systems may be denied access to the network by NCOCC and/or the
Lexington School District.
7. Vandalism and Harassment
a. Vandalism and harassment will result in cancellation of user privileges.
b. Vandalism is defined as any malicious attempt to harm, modify, and destroy data of
another user. This includes, but is not limited to, the downloading, uploading or
creating of computer viruses.
c. Harassment is defined as the persistent annoyance of another user, or the
interference of another user’s work. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, the
sending of unwanted mail.
8. Procedures for Use
a. Student users must always get permission from their instructors before using the
network or accessing any specific file or application. FOLLOW WRITTEN AND
ORAL CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONS.
23
b. All users have the same right to use the equipment. Therefore, users shall not play
games or use the computer resources for other non-academic activities.
9. Encounter of Controversial Material
Users may encounter material which is controversial and which users, parents, teachers
or administrators may consider inappropriate or offensive. However, on a global
network it is impossible to control effectively the content of data, and an industrious user
may discover controversial material. It is the user’s responsibility not to initiate access
to such material. Any decision by NCOCC and the Lexington School District to
restrict access to Internet material shall not be deemed to impose any duty on NCOCC
and the Lexington School District to regulate the content of material on the Internet.
PENALTIES FOR IMPROPER USE:
1. Any user violating these rules, applicable state and federal laws or classroom and district
rules are subject to loss of network privileges and may result in a suspension. First time
offenders will lose computer privileges for three weeks, second time offenders for six
weeks and third time offenders will lose their privileges for the rest of the school year.
Loss of computer privileges does not apply to the following classes: computer art,
computer programming classes, drafting, and accounting.
2. In addition, any unauthorized access, attempted access, or use of any state computing
and/or network system is a violation applicable federal laws, and is subject to criminal
prosecution and may be grounds for suspension or expulsion.
A permission slip must be signed by the student and parent and returned to the school to
verify acceptance of this policy.
USE OF SCHOOL COMPUTER PRINTERS
1. Students may only print material needed for a class. Only one copy may be printed. If
additional copies are needed, the library Xerox machine must be used at a cost of .10
cents per copy.
2. Students may not copy anything for personal use.
3. Any students found in violation of these policies will receive disciplinary action from the
office and/or loss of computer use privileges.
WEB PAGE POLICIES
The first priority of the school district is to assure the safety and security of our students
and staff. To that end, it must be recognized that any personal information or personal images
that are published on the World Wide Web or other Internet services could be misused.
Accordingly, it is necessary that any such information be published only with prior approval of
the individual or, in the case of minor students, with the signed permission of the parent or
guardian. Even when that permission is extended, schools should make certain that the
potential benefit of posting individual information or images clearly outweighs the potential
dangers of misuse. Combinations of personal information (e.g., picture, first name and last
name) will be avoided.
24
Sanctions for Violations
Disciplinary action, if any, for the students shall be consistent with the district’s standard
policies and procedures. Violations of the policy can constitute cause for revocation of access
privileges, suspension of access to Lexington School District electronic equipment, school
disciplinary action, and/or other appropriate legal or criminal action, including restitution, if
appropriate. Students shall be subject to the sanctions of Ohio state law or administrative code,
as appropriate.
Copyright Web Publishing Rules
Copyright law and district policy do not allow the re-publishing of text or graphics found
on the Web on district Web sites or file servers without explicit written permission.
Use of a graphic must come from a free source of graphics. If a graphic is a
recognizable figure, slogan, or logo, assume that it is copyrighted and do not use it.
The failure of a site to display a copyright notice may be interpreted as permission to
copy materials. Only the copyright owner may provide the permission. If the materials have
been improperly and illegally displayed by a Web site, the webmaster may not be considered a
source of permission.
The “fair use” rules governing student reports in classrooms are less stringent and permit
limited use of graphics and text.
Students with questions regarding these guidelines are advised to check with the
webmaster in their building before proceeding with the collection of images and text.
CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY
Students should not mark school furniture, walls, ceilings, floor or equipment with pen,
pencil, paint or any other instrument. Do not tamper with the fire alarms, fire extinguishers,
panic buttons and/or defibrillators or any electrical systems. Anyone who willfully destroys
school property through vandalism, arson or larceny, or who creates a hazard to the safety of
our students will be referred to the proper law enforcement agency in addition to receiving
school discipline.
TEXTBOOKS
All basic texts are loaned to students for their use during the school year. Workbooks
and other supplies are paid for by the student. Textbooks are to be kept clean and handled
carefully. Please be sure your name, printed in ink, is written in each book in case it is
misplaced. Sorry, but we do charge you a fine based on the principal’s or teacher’s judgment
for abuse, misuse, or lost books. Students should examine textbooks they are issued and
immediately report any visible damage to the issuing teacher. Students are expected to use
book covers on all school textbooks.
LOCKERS

Lockers are school property and, as such, are subject to periodic inspections. Since
lockers are a permanent part of the building, students are expected to keep them in good, usable
condition.
Each student is assigned a locker for the storage of books and equipment. It is the
student’s responsibility to see that his locker is kept locked and in order at all times. If at any
time during the year a student’s locker becomes inoperable, report this immediately to the dean
of students’ office.
Get study materials for your morning classes when you arrive in the morning, and
materials needed for the afternoon classes during the lunch period. No one should leave classes
to go to their locker except with special permission.
THE CAFETERIA
The school cafeteria is maintained as a vital part of the health program of the school. To
encourage good nutrition, a well-balanced lunch is offered at a reasonable price.
The lunchroom management and your fellow students will appreciate your cooperation
in:

eating establishments to the school at any time.
7. Students who violate the cafeteria policies will be subject to disciplinary action.

Students should make their financial arrangements before they go to lunch. Should
a financial need exist, students are encouraged to contact the cafeteria supervisor,
the student services’ office or the dean of student’s office. There are no provisions
for students to charge their lunch. However students/parents may pay ahead for the
week or month.
NO FOOD OR DRINK MAY BE TAKEN FROM THE DESIGNATED EATING AREAS.
CELL PHONE POLICY
Cell phones which are found to be on, and/or visible upon entering the building until 2:34 are in

result in additional days of out of school suspension. For example: the fourth offense will
be 3 days out of school suspension, the fifth offense, 4 days out of school suspension,
etc.

permission.
CODE OF STUDENT’S RIGHTS AND CONDUCT
I. PHILOSOPHY
These rights and responsibilities are designed to maximize student cooperation by
allowing each student maximum freedom as well as maximum protection during the learning
process, while, at the same time, providing a framework rigid enough to deal with both minor
and major unacceptable behavior in ways best suited to the offenses.
Each student attending school has the right to a free and unhindered opportunity to
receive training designed to help him develop to his maximum. Except by means of due
process, the student attending school may not be denied this right by other students, nor by
members of the staff. Conversely, no student’s behavior may be such that it denies other
students the same right, nor may his behavior be such as to hinder members of the staff from
carrying out their responsibilities.
Teachers will handle minor discipline problems by use of reason, detention, parent
conferences, or other appropriate means. Students are expected to come to school ready and
willing to learn. Students are expected to treat each other and ALL SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
with courtesy and respect.
II. PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION
School is not the place for public displays of affections. Students involved in such
activities beyond hand holding will receive a warning when they are first observed. A
repetition of such conduct will lead to further disciplinary actions. When students repeatedly
violate rules, they will be brought to the administrative office for appropriate action.
III. DRESS
Studies indicate that there is a strong relationship between good dress habits, good work
habits, appropriate school behavior and good grades. Any type of attire which attracts undue
attention to the wearer, and thus causes a disruption/distraction in school is not acceptable. The
following are not acceptable school attire: see-through clothing, sleeveless shirts, tank tops,
27
tube tops, single shoulder tops, “spaghetti” strapped tops and dresses, tops with open backs,
revealing low-cut tops and dresses, pajama pants, hats, hoods, sunglasses, headbands, bare feet,
bare midriff, jeans with holes, soiled or torn clothing. Clothing with offensive illustrations,
slogans or commercial messages advertising drugs, alcohol and/or tobacco products is
prohibited. Language on clothing which is insulting, abusive, threatening or harassing based
upon issues such as sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity background, religious beliefs or
disabilities is prohibited. No key or wallet chains should be worn to school by students. Pants
and shorts are to be worn in the waist area (defined as area from navel to hip bones). “Sagging”
styled pants/ shorts are to be belted and also worn at the waist area. Shorts, which are DRESS
TYPE, Bermuda shorts, cargo shorts, long basketball shorts and capri’s all of which are no
shorter than 3” above the knee are permissible. (The type of shorts NOT acceptable include but
are not limited to cutoffs, unhemmed shorts, “short” shorts, gym shorts). Skirts/Skorts and
dresses must touch the knee.
Daily, during 1st period, teachers will determine whether students are adhering to the
dress code. If a teacher feels that a student is not dressed according to the code, the student will
be sent to the office. Students who do not comply with the dress code will be asked to correct
the infraction. ANY TIME TAKEN FROM SCHOOL TO CORRECT INFRACTIONS WILL
BE UNEXCUSED.
The parents of students who are in violation of the dress code will be contacted to assist
in correcting the violation. The office has been stocked with fresh laundered shirts and pants
for students, who have violated the dress code, to borrow. SEE PAGE 38 FOR
HOMECOMING & PROM DRESS CODE. Judgment of the administration in matters of
dress and appearance is final.
IV. STUDY HALLS
Each student in study hall must have something with which to occupy himself/herself for
study purposes. Study hall teachers may issue passes to the office, counselor’s office and the
library only, and to the lavatories in emergency cases. Students desiring to see a teacher
other than their study hall teacher must have previously obtained a pass from that
teacher. If the student is to remain with the teacher all period, this is to be indicated on the
pass.
V. HALL COURTESY
A. There is to be no horseplay at any time. This often leads to situations that cause
fights or inadvertent injury to an innocent bystander. Students are to pass through
the halls in an orderly fashion and should not be running or pushing other students.
B. Students must carry their passport or a yellow pass when in the hall during
class time.
C. Keep halls open to traffic by walking to the right. Do not block traffic by standing
in groups.
D. Pass through halls quietly. Be considerate of others in the halls and classrooms.
E. Discard trash in the containers provided. Keep the school clean by picking up paper
from the floors.
28
F. LEAVE THE SCHOOL BUILDING WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER
DISMISSAL UNLESS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A TEACHER.
VI. PASSPORT/AGENDA BOOK
Students will be issued a passport/agenda book at the beginning of each year.
This is also to be used as a hall pass. Misconduct points will be issued for the following
infractions:
A. Tearing out hall pass pages and using them separately
B. Adding additional pages
C. Using another student’s passport
A cost of $4.00 will be incurred for the issuance of a new book.
VII. AFTER SCHOOL HOURS
All after school activities must have a sponsor/advisor present at all meetings or
functions. STUDENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN THE BUILDING UNSUPERVISED
AFTER 3:00 OR AT ANY TIME WHEN SCHOOL IS NOT IN SESSION.
VIII. SECURITY
In order to insure a safe and friendly environment for Lexington High School students,
surveillance cameras have been installed throughout our building and in the parking lots.
The contents of DVD’s from these cameras is the property of the Lexington Local
School District. In order to insure our student’s right of privacy, the contents of these DVD’s
will not be made available to the general public. However, should there be a violation of our
student code of conduct which leads to criminal prosecution, the contents of the DVD may
become evidence at a trial and therefore become public knowledge.
IX. ARTICLES PROHIBITED AT SCHOOL
Difficulties arise frequently as a result of students bringing items which pose a hazard to
the safety of others or interfere with the educational process. ARTICLES SUCH AS LOOK
ALIKE FIREARMS, POCKET KNIVES, MATCHES/CIGARETTE LIGHTERS, PLAYING
CARDS or any other items that have the potential to interfere with safety, or the educational
process when brought to school, are undesirable and will be confiscated and returned to the
parent/guardian upon personal request. Students having items such as firecrackers, smoke
bombs, firearms, knives, etc., which are illegal or represent an overt or imminent threat to the
safety and comfort of others will face more severe penalties.
Violation of the restrictions could result in a ten day suspension, expulsion, charges filed
in juvenile court, or any combination thereof.
Please note: The use of I-Pods, MP3’s and all other electronic devices as well as cell
phones must be turned off upon entering school in the a.m. until 2:34. Failure to do so will
29
result in confiscation and disciplinary action. Also, there should be no student expectation
to privacy if the electronic device has been used to violate school rules (i.e. use of a cell
phone to take unauthorized pictures in a locker room).
X. DANGEROUS WEAPONS POLICY
The Lexington Board of Education is committed to providing the students of the
Lexington Local Schools with an educational environment which is free of the dangers of
firearms, knives, and other dangerous weapons in our schools.

explosive or incendiary charge of more than one-quarter ounce, mine or device similar to any of
the devices described above.
Students in the Lexington School District are prohibited from bringing a firearm on
school property, in a school vehicle, or to any school-sponsored activity. If a student violates
this rule the superintendent shall expel this student from school for a period of one calendar
year. If necessary, any such expulsion shall extend into the next school year following the
school year in which the incident occurred. The superintendent may reduce this requirement on
a case-by-case basis in accordance with state law.
Students in the Lexington Local Schools are also prohibited from bringing knives on
school property, in a school vehicle or to any school-sponsored activity. The definition of a
knife includes but is not limited to, a cutting instrument consisting of a sharp blade fastened to a
handle. If a student violates this rule the superintendent may expel the student from school for
a period of one calendar year. If necessary, any such expulsion shall extend into the next school
year following the school year in which the incident occurred. The superintendent may reduce
this requirement on a case-by-case basis in accordance with state law.
The Lexington Board of Education may extend the right to expel a student for reasons
beyond the possession of a firearm or knife. Students in the Lexington Local Schools who
possess or use other dangerous weapons, which are defined but not limited to metal knuckles,
straight razors, explosives, noxious irritation or poisonous gases, poisons, drugs or other items
possessed with the intent to use, sell, harm, threaten, or harass other students, teachers, support
staff, parents or community members may be subject to a one year expulsion. The
superintendent may reduce this requirement on a case-by-case basis in accordance with state
law.
XI. THREATENING/VIOLENT BEHAVIOR POLICY
A. Threatening/violent behavior directed verbally or in writing between students or
towards any building personnel (teachers, counselors, administrators, custodians, cooks, etc.)
will not be tolerated. Threatening/violent behavior is defined as, but not necessarily limited to,
behavior in which the person to whom the behavior is directed feels that their personal safety is
at risk. Students who exhibit threatening/violent behavior in the judgment of the school
30
administration will face suspension, expulsion, unruly charges being filed with the juvenile court
or any combination thereof.
B. Bullying – The Ohio Revised Code defines bullying as “any intentional written,
verbal, graphic or physical act that a student or group of students has exhibited toward a
particular student and the behavior both 1) Causes mental or physical harm to another student;
2) Is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, threatening, or
abusive educational environment for the other student.” Incidences of bullying should be
reported to an administrator and is considered a suspendable offense.
C. Cyber-bullying including, but not limited to, taunting, threatening, stalking,
intimidation, and/or coercing by one or more individuals against other students or staff,
perpetrated with computers, cell phones, internet websites, and/or any other electronic device is

(school property, school events) but also includes to where it is communicated.
D. Dating Violence – Dating violence is defined as a pattern of behavior where a person
uses or threatens physical, sexual, verbal and/or emotional abuse to control the person’s dating
partner. A “dating partner” is any person, regardless of gender, involved in an intimate
relationship with another (person) primarily characterized by the expectation of affectionate
involvement be it casual, serious or long term.
XII. SAFE SCHOOLS POLICY
In order to insure the safety for all students and teachers, the following actions will be
taken by classroom teachers should there be a security concern in the building. These actions
will be initiated by the following announcement: “This is a safe schools drill/alert”. Drill
means we’re in a practice mode, alert means we’re in a lockdown mode.
1. The teacher will go to the door and motion any students in the hall to his/her
classroom.
2. The teacher will lock the door to his/her room.
3. The teacher will cover the door window(s) if possible.

times. No administrator, faculty member, or other employee of the school district shall
encourage, permit, condone, or tolerate any hazing activities. No student, including leaders of
student organizations, shall plan, encourage or engage in any hazing.
Hazing is defined as doing any act or coercing another, including the victim, to do any
act of initiation into any student or other organization that causes or creates a substantial risk of
31
causing mental or physical harm to any person. Permission, consent, or assumption of risk by
an individual subjected to hazing does not lessen the prohibition contained in this policy.
Administrators, faculty members, and all other employees of the school district shall be
particularly alert to possible situations circumstances or events which might include hazing. If
hazing or planned hazing is discovered, involved students shall be informed by the discovering
school employees of the prohibition contained in this policy and shall be required to end all

inhalants, or narcotics is prohibited on all school district grounds (including in vehicles), in
lockers, in buildings, in purses/book bags/etc., at all school activities home and away, and
in the vicinity of schools. Violation of this rule is grounds for suspension and possible
recommendation for expulsion.
B. Violation of the alcohol and drug section will result in:
1. Parent will be notified as soon as possible and student may be removed from school
for the remainder of the day.
2. The police will be notified of the incident and they, at their discretion, may conduct

Possession for sale or transmission: lst Offense - Expulsion.
The principal may modify a ten-day suspension for the first offense (except for sale and/or
transmission of drugs) if the student and parent agree to participate in an activity designed to
modify alcohol and drug related behavior. The ten-day suspension may be reduced by a maximum
of five days for participating in the designated activities.
C. The following is also considered to be a violation of the drug and alcohol policy:
1. The odor of alcohol or other illegal substance on a student’s breath or on his/her person

If the result of this test indicates that the student’s system was void of
drugs/alcohol, the suspension time will be reduced to Friday School suspension
time in the normal suspension sequence and the assessment requirement will be
waived. The school district will reimburse the parents for the cost of the testing up
to a $100.00 maximum.
E. Definitions:
Illegal drugs/narcotics are defined as any narcotics, drug, medicine, or pill,
chemical preparation, plant, seed, or derivative thereof, of a hallucinogen, barbiturate, or
amphetamine nature.
Paraphernalia are instruments such as pipes, roach clips, syringes, hypodermic

tablet which he/she falsely claims contains LSD, or a harmless pill which bears manufacturer’s
markings so as to falsely indicate that it is a controlled substance, or sells a crude tobacco
cigarette, while claiming it contains marijuana, it is a criminal offense and subject to criminal
prosecution.

33
be paid from grant money received by the school district provided they’re
available. (If a financial hardship exists, contact the principal).

CO-CURRICULAR ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
At Lexington High School, all students choosing to participate in co-curricular activities
will be expected to set as their top priority their role as a student. Each participant in a co39
curricular activity will be expected to set a positive example in the classroom by his/her positive
attitude, high level of integrity, attendance and punctuality, and work ethic.
The academic requirements as set forth by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (as
detailed below) as well as the school board adopted G.P.A and failure policy will be used to
determine eligibility for all students wishing to participate in a co-curricular activity.
OHSAA Bylaw 4-4-1 In order to be eligible in grades 9-12, a student must be currently
enrolled and must have been enrolled in school the immediately preceding grading period.
Furthermore, during the preceding grading period, the student must have received passing grades
in a minimum of five (5) one-credit courses or the equivalent, each of which counts toward
graduation.
EXCEPTION I: The Commissioner’s office may waive this requirement for a student in
her/his 12th and final year of school who (a) has accumulated sufficient credit hours to have
graduated in the preceding semester; (b) maintains a grade point average in the top ten percent of
the student’s class; and (c) can demonstrate that the underlying purposes of this bylaw have been
otherwise fulfilled by the student.
EXCEPTION 2: The Commissioner’s office may waive the enrollment requirements of
this bylaw provided the student has been withdrawn or removed from school because of
circumstances due to personal accident, illness or family hardship. An appeal for such a waiver
must come from the principal of the school and be in writing. The appeal for waiver shall contain
documents with school and medical supporting evidence.
EXCEPTION 3: If a students failure to meet the requirements of this bylaw are due to an
“incomplete” given in one or more courses which the student was taking during the grading
period in question, the student may have his/her eligibility restored by the Commissioner’s office
once the “incomplete” has been changed to a passing letter grade provided:
(a) the failure to complete the required coursework during the grading period was due to
calamity day(s), family tragedy, or illness or accident as verified by a physician; and
(b) the “incomplete was given in accordance with Board of Education/other governing
board adopted policies and procedures and is applicable to all students in the school; and
(c) the previously scheduled work and/or exams is/are completed within the time period
provided in Board policy for completing work required to convert an “incomplete” into a letter
grade; and
(d) there is no evidence that the “incomplete” was given in order to afford the student
extended time in order to provide the student tutoring or other educational services simply to
avoid a failing grade.
Note: This exception only applies where an “incomplete has been issued and not a letter grade
that is subsequently changed as a result of the extended time/additional work.
OHSAA Bylaw 4-4-3 The eligibility or ineligibility of a student continues until the start of the
fifth school day of the next grading period, at which time the grades from the immediately
preceding grading period become effective. For purposes of this bylaw, “school day” includes
faculty in-service days, calamity days and regular school attendance days but not holidays or
school breaks.
EXCEPTION 1: Eligibility or ineligibility for the first grading period commences with
the start of the fall sports season.
EXCEPTION 2: A student coming off the “ineligible status” may become eligible 24
hours after the mandatory grade reporting date (a date established by the Board policy which
40
cannot be the same day as the end of the grading period) established by the Board of Education or
other similar governing body for that school’s district, provided said grade reporting date is
applicable to all students in that district. (See template for Board policy at www.ohsaa.org)
OHSAA Bylaw 4-4-4 A student enrolled in the first grading period after advancement from
eighth grade must have passed a minimum of five (5) one credit courses, or the equivalent of
those subjects carried the preceding grading period in which the student was enrolled.
HOUSE BILL 215
In accordance with the passage of House Bill 215, Lexington Local Schools has
established the following additional eligibility requirements:
1. A student must achieve a grade point average (G.P.A.) of 1.0 or higher each
grading period in order to be eligible to compete during the next grading period.
2. Any student receiving an incomplete (I) in a subject will have that “I” averaged as
an “F” in figuring the G.P.A. until all work is completed.
Intervention
Student involved in interscholastic co-curricular activities at the high school will be
subject to mandatory academic intervention if they fall into any of the following four categories:
1. Those who are ineligible according to their G.P.A. (below 1.0)
2. Those who are ineligible according to the F policy (not passing a majority of their
classes)
3. Those who have one or more F’s but are still eligible according to their G.P.A.
4. Those whose G.P.A. is at or above 1.0 but below 1.5
Intervention Process
Intervention at the high school will be determined by the coach/advisor, the student, and
the athletic director (for athletes) or the dean of students who is not the athletic director for nonathletic
interscholastic competition activities, and the parents if they wish to participate in the
process. A plan will be set forth whereby the student meets a minimum of two twenty-minute
sessions per week with teacher(s) of subject(s) to be determined in the aforementioned meeting.
The student will present a teacher-signed voucher slip to the coach verifying the sessions with the
teacher(s). The intervention process continues for an entire grading period.
Evaluation
The eligibility and intervention process shall be reviewed annually.
Daily Attendance/Participation Eligibility
Participating athletes must be in attendance at least one-half of the school day to play in
that day’s contest, unless they have been excused by the principal in advance of the day. 11:10
a.m. is the cut-off point for one-half day attendance for athletic purposes.
Students involved in athletics should also consult the training rules that are handed out
by their coaches.
Students participating in the post-secondary school option must be present for ALL of
their classes in order to participate in any extra curricular activity/practice that day.

A well disciplined athlete is a quality athlete. A quality athlete produces a quality athletic program. The
Lexington Athletic Department believes its task is to help develop quality young men and women through a
quality program. We believe that an athletic training program, including rules, education, and counseling,
plays an important role in the development of a quality athlete and program.
II. OBJECTIVES
1. To impress on athletes the importance of discipline and sacrifice in the development of a quality
athlete.
2. To help athletes understand the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco on the development
of an athlete.
3. To enhance the health and welfare of the athlete in particular and the student body in general.
4. To set worthy examples for other members of the student body.
III. PROCEDURES
1. Any student involved in the Lexington Local School’s athletic program shall be subject to the
following code of conduct for their entire high school career, year round, both in season and out of

2. The code will come into force once signed by the student and parent(s)/guardian(s) and will remain
in effect until graduation or withdrawal from Lexington Schools. Signing the code is a requirement
for participation in any school-sponsored athletic activity.
3. A student involved in the Lexington Local School’s athletic program shall not:
a. use, possess, or distribute alcohol, illicit drugs, or tobacco in any form.
b. perform acts which by their nature violate the sense of propriety and decency of the community
or the standards or policies of this school district

provided they are established prior to beginning of his/her sport, are approved by the athletic
director, and are
distributed to team members.
IV. CODE OF CONDUCT
The following code of conduct is to be in effect from the date of signing through the athlete’s
graduation and is to be followed by all students (grades 9-12) participating in athletic activity, in any
capacity. (Additional team/activity rules may be developed by each individual coach/advisor with the
approval of the athletic director).

He will also notify the appropriate law enforcement agencies if deemed appropriate. This conference is to
include the student, his/her parent(s)/guardian(s), the coach/advisor, the principal, and any other school
personnel selected by the principal. If it is determined that a violation has occurred, the principal shall set
the dates for the athlete’s suspension. The student will be denied participation in 20% of the scheduled
regular season public performances to be served consecutively starting with the first contest after the
student has been notified of his/her suspension. Drug and alcohol offenders and their parent(s)/guardian(s)

sport from the first official day of practice, as set by the OHSAA, and completes the entire season
through the final contest and awards program in good standing as determined by the building
principal, unless it is his/her final sports season.
• If a student violates the code of conduct after joining a sports team, he/she will be denied
participation during the current season.
