PLAINS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

PLAINS, TEXAS 79355
Dear Parents:
The attached handbook and Code of Student Conduct describes
procedures and regulations which we believe will help your student
get the most out of his/ her education and which will ensure that
the Plains schools remain a good place to learn.
At the heart of this information are policies passed by our Board
of Trustees to guarantee a stable learning environment and the
regulations necessary to execute those policies. The basic purpose
of this handbook is to provide information vital to you and your
student. Much of the text is devoted to defining acceptable
patterns of conduct and appropriate consequences for failure to
comply with these regulations. The state refers to this as a
discipline management program.
Funding for the Plains Independent School District does rely on
average daily attendance (ADA). For ADA accounting purposes,
attendance is registered during the second period each day (9:00 to
10:00). It will be in the best interest of district taxpayers for
you to arrange doctor, dentist, and other necessary appointments at
a time of the day other than second period. We ask your cooperation
to help our financial situation by encouraging your child to be in
school if at all possible.
Your student is required to return to school this page, signed by
you and your student. Your signature signifies that you have
received this handbook and Student Code of Conduct and understand
that students shall be held accountable for their behavior and
consequences as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct at school,
school sponsored and school related activities, including school
sponsored travel. You also understand that any student who violates
the Student Code of Conduct shall be subject to disciplinary
action. This form is kept in your student’s folder. The handbook
also contains regulations concerning the use of technology at
school. These regulations, taken in total, form the district’s
acceptable use policy. Your signature on this page also signifies
that you understand that the student will be held accountable for
improper use of the electronic communications and data that are
made available to them and that you have read the information
concerning the release of student records.
