University School! * To the
tune “Above Cayuga’s Waters”
This handbook is designed to help
students and parents/guardians understand the policies and procedures of
University School. We encourage you to read it carefully and call the
school if you have any questions. University School consists of grades
kindergarten through 12 and has three distinct levels: the elementary school
(K-5), the middle school (6-8), and high school (9-12). One of the
many strengths of our school is the fact that it includes all grades.
Most of the time students engage in activities within their age groups.
However, when appropriate, our students have the opportunity to interact
with multi-levels. Because we are located on the campus of
East Tennessee State University, we enjoy many unique advantages that most
public schools do not have. At the same time, we also must accept the
responsibilities that accompany those benefits. Therefore, we need to work
together to promote a positive image of our school and to demonstrate to
university personnel and students the value of our inclusion on campus. A task force comprised of administrators,
teachers, parents/guardians and students has approved all policies presented
in this book. This is an abbreviated version that offers an overview
of rules and regulations for students and parents/guardians. For more
complete information, the University School Policy and Procedure Manual
can be found in the Media Center at the University School.
UNIVERSITY SCHOOL
A Math/Science Signature
School
Mission Statement
“As a model K-12 school, we are committed to an integrated academic
curriculum emphasizing science and mathematics, which prepares all students
and future educators to contribute to and succeed in a technologically
oriented and global society.”
Strategic Initiatives
Guiding Principles In order to enhance mathematics and
science education, University School encourages and supports sound
educational practices. In
accordance with the National Science
Education Standards and the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ Curriculum and Educational
Standards and Professional Standards, University School believes that:
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, Welcome to University School! We are excited to begin a new school year and are very pleased to have you as a part of the University School family. As you may know, we offer a unique setting for a public school in that we house grades K-12 at one site on the campus of a major university in northeast Tennessee. Our goal as a math/science signature school is to prepare the students we serve with a dynamic curriculum that readies them for entry into post-secondary education. The University School faculty is constantly seeking new strategies and methods to accomplish this goal. We also pride ourselves on the strong support we receive from our parents/guardians and East Tennessee State University. Our doors are always open to further these relationships. Again, welcome to our campus and feel free to contact me or any member of our faculty and staff if we can be of service. Sincerely, Doyle Brinson, Director University School of East Tennessee State
University serves a dual function. 1.
The primary function of the school is to help the College of
Education at East Tennessee State University achieve its mission of
preparing professional educators by:
·
Providing
university students with opportunities to observe innovative instructional
practices;
·
Providing
university students opportunities to work with and teach K-12 pupils under
the direction of skilled mentor teachers;
·
Serving as a
research laboratory for the advancement of programs and new ideas in the
field of education; · Serving in a leadership role for the educational community.
2. The second function is to
provide a rich and varied curriculum that promotes the continuous academic,
social, and emotional growth of each child in grades K-12. University School and College of
Education faculty and administration believe that the two broad functions
described above are complementary. When teachers, professors,
administrators, and students work collaboratively in the interests of
educational excellence, all stakeholders benefit.
The present University School has been a
part of ETSU since it began in 1911 as a two-year normal school. The
program and scope of University School has expanded significantly since
those early days when the school was a department of the college and held
classes in a section of the administration building. Originally, the school provided for the
first seven grades under the direction of four teachers. By 1914, the
8th grade had been added, and a few years later the terminal year was
changed to the 10th grade. The first move occurred in 1915 when
classes were transferred to a building known as the "Model School". In
1929 this building was replaced by the present structure (Alexander Hall)
and the name was changed to "Training School". This name was derived
from the fact that the program was designed to provide training for college
students who were preparing to enter the teaching profession. After a program of advanced planning,
grade 11 was established in 1947; and a grade 12 curricula was prepared in
1948. In the spring of 1949 the first class was graduated from the
Training School, and those students became charter members of an alumni
association. The name "Training School" was officially changed to the
present "University School" by the General Assembly on the recommendation of
the State Board of Education. The number of University School faculty
has grown from four teachers in 1911 to more than forty faculty members.
The student enrollment is approximately 540.

University School is academically
oriented and college preparatory focused.
Potential students and their parents/guardians should be committed to
academic excellence.
ACADEMIC FEES (To be paid
by July 25th)
Fees will be paid to the bookkeeper, (room
109) and must be paid for the following:
ADMINISTERING MEDICINE TO
STUDENTS
If under exceptional circumstances a student
is required to take oral medication during school hours and the
parent/guardian cannot be at school to administer the medicine, only the
principal or his designee will administer the medication with doctor’s
written directions. Written doctor’s orders are required for any
prescription medications brought to school. Authorizations to
administer medication forms are available at the front office.
Please see Ms. Lowe, the administrative aide, for these forms.
Nonprescription medication, such as aspirin,
will not be administered without written permission from the
parent/guardian. The parent/guardian will be expected to
furnish the medication.
University School has one section each
for grades K-6. The kindergarten enrolls 18 students. Grades 1,
2, and 3 each have 20 students. Grades 4, 5, and 6 each enroll 25
students. Grades 7 and 8 have 50 students each. Grades 9-12 have
no more than 75 students per grade level. University School is a "school of
choice". In January and February each year an advertisement containing
enrollment information is run in the local newspapers. This
advertisement is run twice each month. The Dean of the College of
Education and the East Tennessee State University Office of University
Relations will approve the advertisement. A drawing is held each March to fill
vacancies for the next school year. Applications are accepted between
January 1st and the end of February for the term
beginning in July. Students
selected through the lottery will be eligible for an interview.
University School reserves the
right to screen applicants for past attendance, academic, and discipline
problems. No admissions are
final until after the interview process is complete, including the
director’s signature. A letter of acceptance or non-admittance will be
mailed in a timely manner following the interview.
University School students are subject to
all public school laws, the policies and regulations of the Tennessee State
Board of Education as stated in the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA), and the
policies and regulations of the State University and Community College
System of Tennessee as administered through the President of ETSU. Applications to University
School are accepted beginning January 1 of each year. During early March a
random drawing is conducted and numbers are assigned to each applicant for
each grade level. In April students are then invited to interview for
enrollment in University School for the next school year based on space
availability, ethnic and gender considerations, and order of priority. The
need to balance ethnicity and gender enrollment in each of our classes is
given prime consideration along with the priority order that has been
established for some time. That priority order is as follows:
All applications received after the
cutoff date and time will not be included in the pool. These
applications will be stamped and dated recording when they were received and
will be added to the waiting list. As openings become available,
eligible students will be called for the interview process in the order of
their placement on the waiting list. Dates are set according to the calendar,
however they follow this procedure:
1.
Applications
are accepted each school day until 4:00 p.m. on the last day of
February. If the last day of February falls on Saturday or Sunday, the
deadline will be the preceding Friday.
2.
The executive
aide (school secretary) will need a minimum of one week to alphabetize and
organize the received applications.
3.
The drawing
date will occur as was posted in the newspaper advertisements. 4. The initial pool of applicants will be notified by the end of March to attend an interview. Additional applicants will be accepted as openings become available. Once students have been notified that
they have been accepted for an interview to University School, the executive
aide will provide the following forms to the family. These forms are
to be completed, appropriately signed and returned in no less than three (3)
school days prior to the interview. Applicants who are eligible for
services under 504, IDEA, or ESL must have their prior school's service plan
included. Any false
representation(s) on required documents may result in admission
refusal/dismissal from University School. All forms can also be found
on the school web site in PDF form.

Documentation with asterisk must be completed and in possession of the
administration before enrollment interview. International exchange students International exchange students must
follow all admission policy procedures Continued enrollment Parent/Guardian/Student Code of Conduct:
Attending University School is your choice.
Please note that University School also has the choice at anytime to
convene a committee to discuss options which may include withdrawal when
academic progress, behavior or attendance becomes a concern.
Withdrawal may also result when the conduct of any student or
parent/guardian is determined to interfere with the operation of University
School or ETSU. In early January parents/guardians of
currently enrolled students are mailed a letter to re-enroll their child.
Parents/Guardians must return this enrollment form and materials fee by the
specified date or the child's position in the school will be considered
open. This child will then be placed at the bottom of the waiting
list; not on the sibling list. Applicants who are not admitted will
have to reapply January 1 through February 28 to be considered for the next
school year.
Reapplications Students, who have previously withdrawn,
must reenter the lottery for admission, or be placed on the waiting list for
the first available opening. Following dismissal, an applicant who
chooses to reapply should present documentation of a minimum of one semester
of acceptable behavior, attendance and academic progress prior to the
readmission interview. A
probationary contract between the student, the parents/guardians, and
University School will be signed prior to readmission. The appeal
process should adhere to the following sequence:
1.
A staff member
or a committee
2.
Director of
University School
3.
Dean of the
College of Education
4.
Provost
of ETSU All appeals
to the Dean and Provost
should be submitted in writing, listing specific issues to be addressed. As required by law, student information
will be released to the armed forces recruiters upon request unless a
student’s parent/guardian specifically requests in writing to the School
Counselor’s office that the child’s records not be released to the
recruiters. Students may be dropped off at the school
between 7:30 a.m. and 7:50 a.m. Elementary students arriving before
7:50 a.m. must wait in the cafeteria even when accompanied by an adult.
Students are to be picked up between
2:30 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. Students are not allowed on campus
unsupervised after 2:45 p.m. The administration will conduct
conferences with parents/guardians of children who are continually left at
school unsupervised. Children in grades K-5 are to be dropped
off and picked up at the west end of the building. Students in grades
6 through 12 are to be dropped off and picked up on Alexander Drive, in the
front of the school building. For parents/guardians having children in
both the lower and upper grades, K-5 students will be dismissed from inside
the building and their 6-12 siblings will wait on the grassy area by the
west parking lot. High school students that drive should
leave campus immediately after dismissal.
All other 6-12 students should wait close to Alexander Drive. Parents/Guardians should wait with their
children in the cafeteria, not in the hallways, in the morning.
When the bell rings at 7:50 parents/guardians should drop their child
at the classroom door and exit the building.
Parents/Guardians who need to remain in the building after 8:00 a.m.
should get a visitor’s pass. Emergency
Dismissal
All parents/guardians should be prepared to locate their students at Brooks
gym if for some reason there is an emergency that causes us to evacuate
University School. All
communications should be through Public Relations (423 439-4317)
Weather University School will close if Johnson
City Schools close for inclement weather. University School will also
close for inclement weather if ETSU is closed.
We will not make an announcement over the media due to the fact that saying
University School will be closed is confusing to ETSU students.
Instead we ask that students and parents/guardians be aware that we will
close the school if Johnson City schools close. Some students live in
areas where the weather may be worse than it is in town. If University
School is open, but road conditions between your home and the school are
dangerous, please do not put yourself at risk by attempting to drive to
school. Call the office and inform us of your circumstances. On
inclement weather days when Johnson City Schools are not regularly
scheduled, announcements will be made through the media. *See school
calendar for days scheduled to be used as snow days. To comply with state law, and for
students to receive maximum benefits from their University School education,
prompt daily attendance is essential. While there are circumstances
that make it impossible for students to attend school, University School
encourages parents/guardians to ensure that their children make every effort
to attend school regularly with a minimum of tardies or absences.
Attendance issues will be addressed by the University School
Attendance Panel, which will be made up of teachers, administrators,
attendance officer and the school resource officer. It will be the job
of the panel to decide if there is an attendance problem, whether or not
action needs to be taken to remedy the situation, and what that action will
be. Attendance Guidelines
Consequences for attendance issues may
include: restricting or suspending a student driver’s license, making up
time during intersession(s), restricting lunch privileges, requiring a
doctor’s notes for all absences, ISS or OSS, Saturday school, referral to
the courts, withdrawal, and/or any other consequences deemed appropriate.
(TCA 49-6-3007)
Acceptable Reasons for an Excused Absence
On the day that a student is absent
·
A courtesy
call from parents/guardians informing the school of the reason for the
student’s absence is appreciated.
The courtesy call does not substitute for a written excuse.
·
Calls should
be made to the University School office (439-4271 or 439-4333).
If no one is available to answer the call, please leave a message
including the child’s name, reason for absence, and expected date of return.
·
If no
parent/guardian contact is made, the school will call the parents/guardians.
·
If
parents/guardians are unaware of the student’s absence, the student will
receive an unexcused absence and a discipline referral. On the day a student returns to
school after an absence In order to
be considered excused, the student must:
Make-up Work
Checking
Out
Visits to the Media Center or Counselor’s
office
Tardy Policy The teacher and/or Attendance Officer should document the third unexcused tardy to any class on a Disciplinary Referral Form. After the third unexcused tardy:
·
The student will serve a detention.
o
The student will have the choice of a two hour study hall detention on
Friday afternoons or one hour work detention before or after school on
Fridays.
o
A student will only be excused from attending the detention for a documented
medical appointment. If the
student does not attend school the day the detention is to be served, a
written excuse from a
parent/guardian will be required and the student will serve the next
scheduled detention on the following Friday.
o
Students scheduled for detention will not be excused to attend help sessions
or make up work of any kind.
This includes quizzes, tests, and projects.
o
Students scheduled for detention will not be excused to participate in any
extracurricular activity.
o
Any student arriving late to detention, after 7:00 am for morning detention
and after 2:35 pm for after school detention, will be required to serve the
remainder of that day’s detention as well as the following scheduled
detention (the following Friday).
o
If a student misses detention in its entirety, he/she will serve ISS the
next full school day. The
student’s parent/guardian will be notified.
If a student is more than 20 minutes late to detention, he/she will
be considered absent and will serve ISS.
o
If the student accumulates three more (total of 6) unexcused tardies in a
grading period, he/she will serve In School Suspension (ISS).
o
If the tardy problem continues, additional disciplinary action will be
taken. This may include OSS, behavior contract, attendance panel referral,
referral to court, and/or withdrawal from University School.
o
An unexcused absence for an individual class period will be combined with
unexcused tardies and result in the same penalties.
Ex: 2 unexcused tardies
and 1 unexcused absence to first period would result in detention.
o
The unexcused tardy count begins anew with each grading period (9 weeks).
o
University School students who are assigned as “Teaching Assistants” will be
held to this same policy. Teachers are required to report any tardy or
absence for each period.
Truancy Truancy is defined as an absence for an
entire school day, a major portion of the school day, or the major portion
of any class, or activity during the school day for which the student is
scheduled. Students missing more than 10 unexcused
days are automatically considered truant. If the attendance problem
continues, the parent/guardian and/or student will be summoned into Juvenile
or General Sessions Court to face charges of truancy and/or neglect.
Unexcused tardies also count towards the ten-day accumulation.
An attendance contract will be developed. NOTE: Be reminded that 3 unexcused
tardies equals 1 unexcused absence. Truancy will be handled as a disciplinary
problem through one or more of the following: conferences, notification to
parents/guardians, ISS, special assignments, make-up time on Saturdays or
during intersession(s), contracts, Attendance Panel referral, and/or
petition to the courts.
Excessive absenteeism can result in withdrawal from school or loss of the
student’s driver’s license (TCA 49-6-3007). Cutting Class (disciplinary
referral) A behavior
contract may be developed.
The administration may use its discretion in
assigning consequences.
·
1st
offense – 1 day ISS · 2nd offense – 1 day OSS · 3rd offense – 3 days OSS and parent conference · 4th offense – possible withdrawal from University School
Leaving
Campus (discipline referral) Leaving campus includes being in any
buildings or on any grounds not directly considered University School.
The school grounds include the block on which the school building is
located. Off campus means being in another building, parking lot, or
grounds where the student has no academic business. Those students who have
University School classes in other ETSU buildings are permitted in those
buildings ONLY during that class period. Students taking college
classes are permitted to leave University School for those class periods
only. Juniors and Seniors ONLY are allowed to go to the Culp Center
for lunch unless special occasions are allowed by the administration.
Students found off campus during University School hours are subject to
disciplinary action. A behavior
contract may be developed.
The length of a suspension is
discretionary.
No phone call permissions will be accepted during semester exams or
end-of-year finals or to leave for lunch.
·

Attendance Officer has investigated the issues.
(TCA 49-6-3017)
Attendance
at school related activities
Students may
be assigned seats if needed by cafeteria staff, teachers or administrators.
The application of consequences is by administrative choice based on the
severity of the offense. The University School was formed in 1911
as a training school for practice teachers.
Its primary mission is the training of teachers.
By Tennessee statute, T.C.A. 49-8-105 (a), the University School is
recognized as fundamentally different from other schools located within the
Washington County school district.
The statute provides that ETSU as a state university in the state
college (Tennessee Board of Regents) system: “It is authorized to maintain a training
school for grades one through twelve (1-12)…for the purpose of providing
practice teaching experience for teachers in training, and the students
enrolled in the school shall be taught the same course of study as
prescribed by the state board of education for the public school system in
grades one through twelve (1-12) or the grades appropriate for the school.” T.C.A. 49-8-105(b) provides, in relevant
part, that “the control of the training school shall be wholly under the
direction of the state university and community college system through the
president of the college.”
Student Students at University School accept
primary responsibility for maintaining appropriate student conduct. A
student will comply with the directions of teachers, student teachers,
substitute teachers, teacher assistants, lunchroom and playground monitors,
administration, or other authorized personnel.
Teachers will establish guidelines
for their classroom which students are expected to follow. These
guidelines will be communicated to students orally and/or in writing.
When students repeatedly behave in ways that compromise the dignity and
worth of others or that interfere with other students’ learning, teachers
have the right to expect administrative support in responding to the
misbehaving students. That is, when students persistently fail to
accept responsibility for their behavior, are disrespectful or insubordinate
they will be referred by teachers or staff to the administration. The
director/assistant director may contact the parents/guardians when a student
is referred to the office. The intent of these contacts will be to
enlist parents’/guardians’ cooperation in helping students conduct
themselves appropriately. Discipline consequences may include any of
the following: conference, referral, parent/guardian contact, behavior
contract, ISS, OSS, expulsion or withdrawal. University School is a "school of
choice". If a student is expelled or suspended, University School does
not have an Alternative School. Parent/Guardian: University School is not the
primary school of assignment, but rather a school of mutual choice.
University School has the option, with appropriate consultation, to
withdraw any child or children from the school if the parents/guardians
consistently conduct themselves in a manner which interferes with the
operation, safety, academic or extra curricular activities of the school.
Determinations to
withdraw children from the school on the grounds of unacceptable
parent/guardian behavior are made by the Dean of Education consistent with
due process requirements. An appeal of the Dean’s determination can be made
to the Provost as the President’s designee. The decision of the Provost is
final. Beverage and food
No beverages or food, other than water, will be allowed in the classrooms or
hallways. Only clear plastic water bottles are allowed in the
classrooms. Students who bring their lunches will be
allowed to store beverages for lunch in their lockers provided they are
sealed and have not been opened prior to being brought to school.
These beverages should be consumed during lunch only. Containers with
broken seals such as thermoses, coffee, fountain drinks, or any other open
beverage are not allowed. These beverages will be confiscated. Bullying/Harassment Bullying/harassment is defined as a
verbal or non-verbal expression of intent to do physical or emotional harm,
or act out against someone.
Actual bullying/harassment can be spoken, written, symbolic, or physical.
Bullying/harassment is a misuse of power which tends to be repetitive
in nature. University School is committed to
safeguarding the rights of all students and employees within the school
system to learn and work in an environment that is free from all forms of
bullying/harassment. If a student feels that he/she is the victim of
bullying/harassment from any person at school, they should tell the
offending party to stop the offending action at once. Should the
offense continue, the student should report every incident to a teacher or
counselor. If a student
believes that the teacher or counselor has failed to stop the offending
action, the student should report any further bullying/harassment to the
Director or Assistant Director. Offenses will result in disciplinary
action including; conference, referral, contract, ISS, OSS, withdrawal,
expulsion, or petition to courts. Destruction of property Students are encouraged to take care of
and have pride in school property. Students or parents/guardians of
students who destroy, damage, or lose school property will be held
responsible for the cost of repair or replacement. Offenses may result
in disciplinary action including; conference, referral, contract, ISS, OSS,
withdrawal, expulsion, or petition to courts. Disruption A student will not use violence, force,
noise, coercion, threat, intimidation, fear, passive resistance, or any
other conduct that will cause the disruption, interference, or obstruction
of any school activity. Neither will the student engage in or urge
other students to engage in conduct that causes or can reasonably be
foreseen to cause disruption, interference, or obstruction of any University
School or ETSU activity during, before, or after school hours, on school
grounds, or off school grounds at a school activity. Electronic Devices (Radios, Tape
Players, Tape Recorders, CD Players, Cell phones, IPods, Electronic Pagers
etc.) Students will not use personal electronic
devices on the school grounds during the school day, (from 7:30 – 2:30).
This rule is not intended to preclude the use of electronic devices for
educational purposes. All prohibited electronic devices will be
confiscated by University School employees. The device will be
turned in to the office along with a disciplinary referral.
The device will be kept in the office and returned to the parent/guardian at
the end of the day before 4:00 p.m. Repeat offenses will result in
additional disciplinary action at the discretion of the administration. Internet/technology policy Students and parents/guardians are
required to sign a school Internet use form. Breech of this form
results in loss of Internet use at school for the student for up to one year
as well as OSS. Users are
expected to not violate the generally accepted rules of network etiquette.
This includes, but is not limited to the following:
Please note e-mail is not private and may
be monitored. In addition to our school Internet
policy, we ask that parents/guardians voluntarily monitor their student’s
usage of the Internet and telephone at home.
Gossiping, bullying, and harassment done via email, instant
messaging, text messaging and 3 way calling are often done outside school
hours, but the problems created in these situations typically follow the
student to school the next day. ISS – In-school suspension University School utilizes In-School
Suspension (ISS) as one consequence for a disciplinary infraction or
infractions. A staff person coordinates and supervises ISS and the
Director/Assistant Director provides administrative oversight. Students that
are placed in ISS remain in a single location within the school building for
the assigned days. The student’s
teachers will provide classroom assignments for the student. Lunch will be
eaten in the ISS room. Students may also be assigned supervised cleaning
tasks on school grounds or in the school building if their school work is
finished for the day. ISS rules

given OSS for up to (10) ten days.
No credit for missed work
will be given in this instance.
·
Continued
lack of cooperation may result in
withdrawal from University School. Plagiarism/cheating University School is responsible for
maintaining academic integrity for all of its students. It is the
responsibility of the students to refrain from infractions of academic
integrity, from conduct that may lead to suspicion of such infractions, and
from conduct that aids others in such infractions. Infractions of
academic integrity are:
Students caught plagiarizing/cheating will receive a referral and will not
receive credit for the given assignment.
Repeat offenses will result in additional
disciplinary action at the discretion of the administration.. Public display of affection (PDA) Intimate displays of affection are
considered inappropriate and disruptive while students are on campus or at
school events. Hugging, kissing, and/or holding hands are not
appropriate in the school building, on campus, or school events. Zero Tolerance (T.C.A. 49-6-4216) The State of Tennessee has developed a
Zero Tolerance policy to ensure safe and secure learning environments free
of drugs, drug paraphernalia, violence and dangerous weapons. If a
student is found guilty of a Zero Tolerance Offense he or she may be
expelled from the school for up to 180 school days (or 1 calendar year) and
not be allowed to enroll in any school, in the state, until the completion
of this expulsion. This will include withdrawal from University
School. This law addresses:
In any case of suspension,
parents/guardians will be notified immediately by phone. Juvenile Offender Act TCA 49-6-451: Title 55, Chapter 10, Part 7 When a student between the ages of 13-18
engages in and is convicted of such prohibited conduct as possession, use,
sale, consumption of any alcoholic beverage, wine or beer or any controlled
substance or involved in the possession or carrying of a weapon on school
property, the student/offender can be issued a denial or suspension of
driving privileges until age 18 by the Tennessee Department of Safety,
Driver Control Division. Physical Abuse of faculty, staff,
school personnel, volunteers, or students Assault is defined as a physical or
verbal threat or violence to a person or persons. A student will not
assault nor cause or attempt to cause physical injury to a teacher,
administrator, or employee on school grounds during, before, or after school
hours; on school grounds at any other time when school is being used by a
school group; off school grounds at a school activity, function, or event;
or off school grounds as a result of a school activity, function, or event. A student will not engage in any physical
assault which will do bodily harm to any person on University School or ETSU
grounds during, before, or after school hours; on school grounds at any
other time when the school is being used by a school group; or off school
grounds at a school activity, function, or event. A student will not,
through threat or use of physical force, attempt to take any possession,
including money, which belongs to a University School employee or another
student. Such acts are considered to be extortion, blackmail, or
coercion and are defined as obtaining money or property by violence or
threat of violence or forcing someone to do something against their will by
force or threat of force. Physical fights may result in up to 10
days Out-of-School Suspension and could lead to long-term suspension or
expulsion under Zero-Tolerance. Sexual assault or abuse A student will not sexually abuse or
assault any person on University School or ETSU grounds at anytime on school
grounds during, before, or after school hours; on school grounds at any
other time when school is being used by a school group; off school grounds
at a school activity, function, or event; or off school grounds as a result
of a school activity, function, or event. Sexual assault is defined as any violent
act or threat of violence or forcing someone to do something sexual against
his/her will by force or threat of force. Weapons Students making threats of violence to
the school or any person associated with University School will be removed
from school immediately and may face long-term suspension or expulsion or
withdrawal from University School. These threats will be taken
seriously and dealt with accordingly. A student will not possess, handle,
transmit, use, or attempt to use laser pointers, firearms, explosives,
fireworks, knives, or any object that can be considered a weapon on school
grounds during, before, or after school hours; on ETSU or University School
grounds at any other time when the school is being used by a school group or
off school grounds at a school activity, function, or event. This rule
applies to normal school supplies such as pencils, scissors, razors, or
compasses when they are possessed, handled, transmitted, used, or attempted
to be used in a dangerous manner. State law prescribes a maximum penalty of
six (6) years imprisonment and a fine not to exceed three thousand dollars
($3,000) for carrying weapons on school property. There is zero
tolerance for weapons at University School on School property, ETSU campus,
and at school functions. Narcotics, alcoholic beverages,
stimulant drugs A student will not possess, use,
transmit, or show evidence of having consumed any narcotic drug,
hallucinogenic drug, amphetamine, barbiturate, marijuana, alcoholic beverage
or intoxicant of any kind on school or ETSU campus grounds during, before,
or immediately following school hours; on school grounds at any other time
when the University School is being used by a school group; off school
grounds at a school activity, function or event. A student will not AT ANY TIME possess,
use, or be under the influence of any controlled or regulated drug unless
he/she has a prescription written for him/her by anyone authorized by the
State of Tennessee to write medical prescriptions. There is zero
tolerance for alcohol, drugs and/or any drug paraphernalia at University
School on school property, ETSU campus, and at school functions. The school official in charge will
immediately remove from contact with other students anyone showing evidence
of having consumed alcohol or drugs and thereupon shall contact the
parent/guardian. A student suspected of being under the influence of
drugs or alcohol may be required at parent/guardian expense to have a drug
or alcohol test. Use of a recommended dosage of a drug authorized by a
medical prescription for a student from anyone authorized by the State of
Tennessee to write medical prescriptions and by written permission of the
parent/guardian will not be considered a violation of this rule. Such
medication, if administered at school, must be under strict supervision and
in accordance with University School's Procedures Manual. The Director, Assistant Director or
campus security may remove a student who has been charged with the selling
of narcotics or other serious violations of criminal law from the school
when it is necessary to protect other students and/or teachers or avoid
disruption to school operations. Neither the foregoing conditions of
the Code of Conduct nor any penalty prescribed therein will constitute a
waiver to the Tennessee Code Annotated to invoke a more severe penalty than
herein prescribed, as prescribed by the General Acts of the State of
Tennessee, including but not limited to section (T.C.A. 49-2-203(a), and as
the same may be supplemented or amended. A student will not possess drug
paraphernalia on ETSU or University School grounds during, before, or
immediately following school hours; on school grounds at any other time when
the school is being used by a school group; or off school grounds at a
school activity, function, or event. Electronic pagers are considered
to be drug paraphernalia in accordance with Tennessee law and under the
terms of this rule. A student will not possess for resale or
use any type drug including prescription or over-the-counter drugs on school
grounds. This is a zero tolerance offense, which provides for a
180-day out-of-school suspension and withdrawal. When the zero
tolerance policy is implemented, the student is prohibited from enrolling in
any Tennessee School. Tobacco/tobacco substitutes Possession and/or use of tobacco by
students on school property or at school-related activities is not
permitted. At no time are students allowed to smoke or use smokeless
tobacco at University School or on ETSU property. University School
students (even if age 18 or older) who are found to be in possession of
tobacco products will be held to the following consequences: For the first infraction
parents/guardians will be notified via a “Disciplinary Referral Form”
requiring their signature of acknowledgement. Students will be suspended for
1 school day for a first offense. The student also receives a written
reprimand for the record. The second infraction will result in the
student receiving three (3) days out-of-school suspension and referral to
juvenile court as per state laws. A third offense will result in 5
days out-of-school suspension. A fourth offense will result in 10 days
out-of-school suspension and withdrawal. There is no tolerance for
tobacco and/or any tobacco products at University School. Lighters
found in a student’s possession will result in questions concerning smoking
and possible possession and can also result in a disciplinary referral for
possession of drug paraphernalia. Possession of a lighter can be grounds for
a search of the student’s belongings, locker, backpack and/or vehicle if on
school grounds. This includes the entire ETSU campus and during any
school-sponsored activity (i.e. prom). Burglary, larceny, robbery A student will not commit burglary,
larceny, or robbery. Burglary is defined as breaking into school or
personal property. Larceny is defined as theft. Robbery is
defined as stealing from an individual by force or threat of force.
Offenders will be prosecuted and withdrawn from University School. Upon
recommendation by the Director, alternatives to the mandatory penalty may be
offered by way of a contract between the school and the student.
The parent/guardian must be aware of the terms of the contract and
will attend a conference with the student, teacher, and administrator(s) to
plan for its implementation, and will be asked to accept some
responsibility, along with the student, for seeing that its conditions are
met. If conditions of the
contract are not met, withdrawal from University School may be a
consideration. All alternatives
to mandatory penalty must be approved by the Director of Schools. University
School is not the primary school of assignment, but rather a school of
mutual choice. Please note that
University School has the choice at anytime to convene a committee to
discuss options, which may include withdrawal, when conditions of a contract
are not met. Contracts may
address behavior, academic performance, or attendance. University School may require withdrawal
of an entire family from the school if a determination is made that the
parent(s)/guardian(s) and/or student(s) have interfered or continue to
interfere with the peaceful operation of University School or ETSU. Any such
decision is subject to review by the President of the University.
Contract protocol Contracts will be developed for any
student who:
Other students failing 1 course will
receive a letter. All contracts will be based on quarter
averages (not semester averages.)

Contracts/Athletic Eligibility TSSAA eligibility According to the TSSAA 2007-2008
handbook, the rule states, “all credits must be earned by the first day of
the beginning of the school year. To be eligible in a school that
requires less than 24 credits to graduate, a student must earn 5 credits the
previous year. Students who are
ineligible first semester may gain eligibility second semester by passing
five subjects…”
University School eligibility Initial Athletic Eligibility at the
beginning of the school year will follow TSSAA guidelines.
No student can begin a clinic, or
tryouts without a current physical.
Maintaining Eligibility Grades will be reviewed by the
administration and athletic director at interim reports and at the end of
each quarter. Students must be
enrolled in and passing a total of five (5) assigned classes. When a
student is failing one or more subjects, an Academic Contract will be
developed. The Administration, coach (optional), parents/guardians,
student and athletic director (optional), will complete the contract.
The student will be allowed to continue participating ONLY IF ALL
OTHER CONDITIONS listed in the initial contract have been fulfilled.
If all conditions have not been fulfilled, the student will be
suspended from the team until the next grade report period

The
University School counseling office is staffed with one full-time counselor,
one assistant, and two graduate assistants.
The office provides a variety of services including individual and
small group counseling, classroom counseling, and college and career
counseling services. Staff of the
University School Counseling Office adheres to the ethical codes of the
American Counseling Association and the American School Counselor
Association. Student
confidentiality is given every priority, and students are informed of limits
to confidentiality. Limits
include situations in which the student is in imminent danger of death from
themselves or others, when another person is in imminent danger of death, or
in situations of child abuse.
University School counselors consult with the faculty of the ETSU Department
of Human Development and Learning when in doubt as to the validity of an
exception. The
Counseling Office of University School also operates under the following
provisions of the Tennessee Code Annotated (T.C.A. 49-6-303).
University School’s Dress Code provides
guidelines regarding appropriate clothing conducive to a supportive,
learning-centered K-12 environment.
Parents/Guardians and students, themselves, should be the first line
of monitoring attire, using the guidelines presented below.
These guidelines were developed through a process which included
input from students, parents/guardians, and teachers. University School
expects adherence to the dress code to be a family commitment that should
not require extensive monitoring from school personnel.
In fact, it is often uncomfortable and sometimes even embarrassing,
for teachers or staff to correct a student who is inappropriately dressed.
Students are encouraged to dress
appropriately and wear clothing, hair, and makeup that is not disruptive.
Clothing should not violate the health, safety, or decency aspects of the
school operation and should not interfere with classroom activities and
procedures. Having these principles in mind, the following guidelines are in
effect throughout the school day (from arrival to departure) and at all
school functions unless otherwise announced by school officials.
Accommodations to these
guidelines may be made, on an individual basis, for students with religious
requirements, with disabilities, or special conditions. All individual
accommodations must be requested and approved in writing through
consultation with the Director or Assistant Director in advance. General Requirements The following
are not allowed:
Additional requirements
Shirts/Sweaters/Sweatshirts
Pants
Shorts/Skirts/Dresses
Special Occasions (dances, etc)
Sports Practice
Violations Dress code violations will be dealt with
consistently, immediately, and firmly. Teachers or staff will send violators
to the office. First-time offenders will be asked to comply with the dress
code immediately. First-time offenders for clothing violations will be given
shirts or other appropriate attire to wear and, if possible, will return to
class. In cases that cannot be resolved immediately, administrators will use
discretion as to the course of action. If a student repeatedly violates the
dress code (second time or more), the student’s parents/guardians will be
contacted to remove the student from school until such time as the student
is meeting the dress code. The student will be removed from all classes
until the parents/guardians arrive. Behavior contracts may be developed for
repeated and/or serious dress code violations. All students in grades 9 through 12 have
the opportunity to drop or add a class(s) the first three school days. Only
semester courses have a three-day drop/add opportunity at the beginning of
the second semester. After the three days, students must see the counselor
for late drop/add procedures.
A $1.00 fee will be collected for
each class dropped or added.
All dual enrollment courses, even if they are not needed to meet graduation
requirements, will count as high school credits on the transcript.

Drop/Add for online courses and courses held
on a college campus
(After the University School three day open enrollment period, students
would use the same class change application that all University School
students use for special drop/add requests)
Ex. Student A takes physics at
ETSU. After 8 weeks in the
course the student is failing and wants to drop it.
According to ETSU policy the student may withdraw but may not
transfer to another class. The
student receives an F on their high school transcript for that course
because the student did not complete the required high school course.

August 27th (6 weeks later) the student decides he/she
doesn’t wish to continue this course and drops the class to enroll in
another statistics course on campus taught by a different teacher.
The student is free to enroll since the college is just beginning
fall registration.
Ex. Student C enrolls in AP US
History at University School.
In August or in December the student requests to drop AP history and take a
course at North East State
EIGHTH GRADE HIGH SCHOOL
CREDIT ACCELERATION PROGRAM
Selection Process Students with “A” averages in all classes
for the year will be considered for this pilot program.
Students may not have a “C” or below on the report card.
If there are more students interested than spots available, the
student(s) with the highest overall yearly average(s) in 7th
grade will have the first opportunities.
Homework Load This course will be considered one of
your core curriculum courses. Not
only will you have nightly homework in English, Social Studies, Math, and
Science, but homework as well in the high school course.
Responsibility and Maturity It is very important that you consider
the amount of responsibility it will take to participate in this program.
You will be in a class with high school students ranging from
freshmen to seniors. You will
be expected to follow all high school rules and may be disciplined as any
other high school student.
High School Credit Students will be given credit for high school courses successfully
completed and the grade will be factored into class rank and GPA.
Drop/Add Policy 8th grade students will begin
the high school course during the first week of school.
You will be responsible for making up any missed assignments and
getting any missing notes. You
have until the end of the first nine weeks to drop this course and go back
to the regular middle school rotation.
You may be pulled by an administrator, teacher, parent/guardian, or
by student request. After the
first nine weeks, you must remain in this course for the entire school year
and the grade will remain on your transcript.
Limitations If a student is enrolled in a high school class during 3rd or 7th period, he/she will not participate in the regular middle grades specials rotation. As a safety precaution, University School
exterior doors will be locked during school hours with the exception of the
main entrance located in the front center of Alexander Hall. After
8:00 a.m., everyone must enter the building through the main entrance.
In the spirit of cooperation, we appreciate your support in our efforts to
provide a safe school environment for our students, faculty, and staff. University School is housed in Alexander
Hall, a three-story structure that was completed in 1929. The building
consists of classrooms, offices, computer labs, and smaller rooms for other
uses. The basement level houses the art,
Spanish, and social studies classrooms. The first floor includes offices for the
director, assistant director, secretaries, and classroom suites for grades K
through four, high school math, speech room, cafeteria, and gymnasium. The second floor consists of the Media
Center, faculty lounge, College of Education conference room, two computer
labs, resource room, counseling office, French, and classrooms for grades
five through eight. The third floor contains science labs, 2
computer labs, and classrooms for the ninth through twelfth grades. Some sections of middle and high school music classes are taught in room
18 of Mathes Hall, the ETSU music building. High
school physical education/wellness classes are taught at Brooks Gym.
Although most of
the
University School programs are contained within Alexander Hall, other
facilities are sometimes utilized. Graduation exercises and other
large assemblies are held in the D.P. Culp Center or Brown Hall Auditorium.
In addition, University School students have access to Sherrod Library and
the Culp Center.
(T.C.A. 49-6-1301 2-b)
University School is mandated by state law to implement the complete plan
for family life instruction according to state standards.
One meeting per year, at the beginning of the school year, is
conducted for parents/guardians to speak and express their opinions and
concerns. At this time,
all family life instructors, materials, and course content will be
explained.
A parent/guardian who wishes to excuse a student from all or portions of the
family life instruction shall submit such request in writing to the Director
of Schools and preview all materials to be used for instruction
(T.C.A.49-6-1303). In keeping with the theory that healthy
children learn better, illness may require your child to stay home or be
dismissed early from school. Below are some health-related conditions,
which are seen in the school and how school personnel and our families are
advised to respond.
·
Strep
Throat - May return to school 24
hours after antibiotic treatment begins.
·
Vomiting
and/or Diarrhea - Dismissal after
episode if accompanied with general malaise or other symptoms of illness.
·
Conjunctivitis (Pink eye) - May
return after 24 hours of antibiotic drops or medical permit.
·
Head Lice
– The student will be sent
home for treatment. All nits must be removed
before reentering the classroom. Students will be rechecked by
the nurse to determine effectiveness of
treatment and removal of nits.
·
Fever
- 100 degrees or higher will warrant checkout. Staying home 24 hours
after all fever is gone is strongly recommended.
·
Chicken
Pox - Permitted back to classroom
six days after initial onset and all lesions are crusted.
·
Impetigo
- May return after treatment and all lesions are crusted over. Any student who has a dangerous
communicable disease or violent disposition that poses a substantial threat
to the health or safety of the school community may be removed from school
by the Director, Assistant Director, or campus security until he/she no
longer poses a threat. A professional evaluation at parent/guardian
expense will be required before the student can return to the school.
Withdrawal from University School may result.
Students in grades 7-12, who are having
difficulty in a course(s) or have gotten behind due to illness or other
absences, are encouraged to seek help before starting the new quarter.
University School occasionally offers students a unique opportunity for
educational remediation during the break between nine-week quarters. The purpose of the remediation session is
to provide the student with an opportunity to receive additional instruction
in order to grasp concepts or material they had difficulty with during the
nine weeks. Although intersession will not raise the student’s grade
for the prior nine-week grading period, attending intersession can have an
impact on the student’s understanding of content to permit him/her an
increased chance of success during the rest of the course. If a student who is having difficulty
chooses not to attend intersession, parents/guardians are advised to
encourage the student to attend “extra help” sessions with the teacher,
and/or to seek the help of a tutor at the expense of the parents/guardians. Check-out policy
Once a student checks out a book, it is his/her responsibility to return the book in a timely manner and in good condition. Book replacement fees will be charged for lost or damaged material. Middle and High School Students Middle and high school students may use the library during the day with the permission of their classroom teacher. Middle and high school students may use the library during their lunch period with permission from a teacher or librarian. Students are required to sign in and out on the library attendance sheet. Students are expected to exhibit proper behavior in the library. Low voices and productivity are expected of students visiting the library. Loud or rude behavior will result in the student being sent back to class. Students may use the computers in the library lab for work and research only. For additional information on computer use, please see the Internet/Technology Policy. Sherrod Library Use Students in the 11th and 12th grades may check out
books from the ETSU Sherrod Library with a student ID.
Students checking out books must comply with all use and checkout
policies from Sherrod Library.
This includes fines, due dates, and paying for lost materials. School locks are available for school
use. During locker searches, any non-school locks will be cut off.
Students are responsible for items missing from lockers if they do not
utilize the locks made available to each student at the beginning of each
school year. Any missing items
must be immediately reported to the School Resource Officer.
Calculators may be engraved with the student’s name by the SRO when
first brought to school. This is a preventative step on behalf of the
student. “Lost and Found” items accumulate in the front lobby each nine
weeks. If the items are not claimed before the last day of the term, the
items will be given to charities. Every effort will be made to prevent
losses or thefts.
PROMOTION AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
University School is a Math/Science Signature School with a great majority
of the graduates entering college. Potential students and their
parents/guardians should be committed to academic excellence.
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade Students in grades K-3 receive progress
reports every nine weeks. Students begin receiving letter grades in 4th
grade. The 4th and 5th grade teachers use the
following scale to assign letter grades: Grades 4, 5 grading scale A
93-100 B
85-92 C
75-84 D
70-74 F
Below a 70
Middle School Promotion 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students are eligible to be promoted to the next grade if one of the following conditions is met:
The middle school team and the school
administration make final decisions
about promotion of the 6th, 7th and 8th
graders. If a student fails to meet the academic
requirements for advancement to the next grade level (retention), a
parent/guardian conference will be held to discuss whether University School
is the most appropriate placement for the student. The Director of
University School retains the right in the final determination of placement.

University School Graduation Requirements
Class of 2010-2013+
*Must enroll in a math and science course each year of high school. **Elective focus may be in science and math, humanities, fine arts, AP, or other series approved by the school. ***In order to complete the chosen focused elective series, some students may need 24 credits to graduate. ****May include a school approved documented senior project, work-based learning experience, or community service (minimum of 40 hours required) Effective July 1, 2009, for students entering University School after the beginning of the 9th grade year, the number of credits needed for graduation will be 1 (one) less than the number that could have been earned during the 4-year high school experience. For example: A student enrolls at the beginning of the 12th grade. He/She comes from a school where 4 credits could have been earned for each semester. His graduation requirements would be determined this way: 9th grade- 8 possible credits (4 per semester X 2) 10th grade- 8 possible credits (4 per semester X 2) 11th grade- 8 possible credits (4 per semester X 2) 12th grade- 6 possible credits (University School offers 6 credits per year) Total possible credits- 30 Credits needed for graduation- 29 (30-1) Students who have
passed all the required courses and cleared encumbrances will receive their
diploma at graduation. Encumbrances may include: ID cards, parking
fines, library fines, lost or damaged book fines, AP exam fees, and damaged
school property. Seniors who are failing one required course for
graduation may participate in the graduation ceremony, but will not receive
a diploma until they earn the required credit.
If the student earns the required credit by August of the same year
he/she will receive a University School diploma.
Students failing two or more
required courses will not have the privilege of participating in the
graduation ceremony, but may still earn a diploma from University School
provided they earn the missing credits by August of the same year.
Any student, who completes graduation requirements after August of
the same year, will receive his/her diploma from the institution last
attended under the guidelines set forth by that institution.
Students must have
successfully completed the required credits to be considered 10th, 11th,
or 12th grade students: If a
student fails a required English course, the student must repeat the course.
This will result in the student taking 12th grade English
during the summer following graduation in order to receive a diploma from
University School. 10th grade –
5 credits 11th grade –
11 credits 12th grade –
17 credits University
High Grading Policy University High will use the Uniform Grading Policy developed by the Tennessee State Board of Education. Below is the High School grading scale:
GPA/ Class
Rank/ Valedictorian, Salutatorian Policy Beginning in 2009-2010, any class taken for high school credit will be calculated in determining GPA, class rank, valedictorian, and salutatorian. Driver’s Education will not be included in the computation of the GPA as the course is taken during out of school time. It will also not be used as a credit toward graduation. Class rank will be determined at the end of each year and be based on the numerical average of all courses taken up to the final point. Senior awards will be calculated through the 1st semester of the senior year.
In order for a student to be eligible for senior academic awards, they must have been enrolled for a full class load during their four years of high school. To become valedictorian or salutatorian, a student must have been enrolled as a student at University High at least 5 of the final eight semesters. Computation
of Grade Point Average (GPA) The GPA will be calculated on a 4.0 scale and will be calculated at the end of each school year. Seniors may include the 1st semester of their senior year in the calculation if needed for college applications. For example, a student receives the following grades:
Total of 16 points divided by 6 classes (units) = 2.67 GPA The GPA is a cumulative average of the classes taken
and the points received for each.
Transfer Student Grades Transfer students
grades will be converted by the administrative assistant and approved by the
Administration. Number grades from other schools are transferable.
Letter grades are converted in the following manner: A
96 B
88 C
80 D
72 F
65
Academic Progress Reports Report cards will be
sent home to parents/guardians at the end of each nine-week period. An
interim report will be sent home at the midpoint of the nine weeks for any
subject in which a student has a letter grade of D or below. An incomplete in any
subject must be made up before the next grading period or the grade will be
changed from an incomplete to an F. Math,
Foreign Language Credits Math and foreign language courses are designed to be year-long and carry 1 unit of credit each. Because of the cumulative knowledge base needed for these courses, a student must achieve a yearly average of 70 or above to earn 1 full credit. It is possible for a student to pass the first semester, fail the second semester, and still have a yearly average of 70 or above. In this case, the student receives .5 units of credit. That student will not receive a full credit until one of the following occurs: He/she successfully completes a three-week summer
session designed to address the work the student failed to master during the
2nd semester The student then receives the grade earned during the year the original course was taken. For example: 1st semester average = 85 2nd semester average = 60 Yearly average = 73 This student receives .5 units of credit and must complete the recovery session above to earn the other .5. Following successful completion, the student earns the additional .5 unit of credit and achieves the yearly average of “73” in that course. A student who fails a course for the year must repeat the course in a regular school year. The regular school day
for University School is 7:50 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. University School's
placement on a university campus provides many benefits that accompany some
risks. For everyone's protection, students may not be left in the
building or on University School grounds after 2:45 p.m. unless they are
supervised. Students involved in sports must be with their coach.
Students remaining after school for help from a teacher must be with that
teacher, not wandering in the hallways. If students are in the
afterschool program they must report there immediately at 2:30.
Any student found in the building or on grounds after 2:45 p.m. will
be sent to the school office to call a parent/guardian. The students
must remain in the office until they are picked up. Students who continue to
be left on campus without supervision will be disciplined through the
administration and could be placed in the after-school program at the
parent’s/guardian’s expense, ISS, OSS, referral to the Department of
Children Services, the Courts, or withdrawn from University School.
Girls Inc. provides the
after school program for University School.
All K-5 students must complete an after school application at the
beginning of each school year.
A fee is not required until the first day that a student is placed in the
program. The cost of which will be the responsibility of the
parent/guardian.
Special Education
services are provided through Washington County. The program at
University School is an inclusion model with limited resource and SLP
pull-out services. Students who have
been determined eligible by their local school system to receive services
through 504, Public Law 94-142 (the Education for all Handicapped Children
Act of 1975), and/or IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), and
who have been randomly selected for admission, may be admitted to University
School, provided the school can meet the educational program (Least
Restrictive Environment) for which the student is eligible.
University School is not a school system but
rather a single individual school formed under T. C. A. 59-8-105 for the
primary purpose of training teachers.
If a University School student is qualified for special education
services under IDEA, those services are provided by University School only
if it is
an appropriate placement for the student. “20 U.S.C. 1412
(54)(B), 34 C.F.R. 300.551 and Tenn. Bd. Educ. Reg. 0520.1.3-09(4)(c)(7)
require school systems to provide a continuum of educational opportunities
to meet the individual needs of its special education students.
The student’s local educational agency whether it is the local county
school system or the local city school system, must provide a continuum of
educational opportunities to meet the individual need of its special
education students. The University School is only one resource on that
continuum. Parents may not
choose a particular teacher, classroom or school.”
Matter of Student A v/ ETSU. Et al., Dept. of Education Opinion No.

the drivers to do so. ETSU will
not be liable for damage to any vehicle driven or parked on university
property. University School
students are not permitted to possess or use tobacco products in the parking
lot or anywhere on campus. This offense can lead to suspension or
withdrawal.
Students failing to pay
any outstanding bills due ETSU or University School will be refused
end-of-school-year report cards and admission the succeeding year until the
obligation is paid in full. If outstanding bills are not paid by the
second week of the next school year (July) the student's enrollment will be
revoked, and the next student on the waiting list will fill the vacancy.
