MISSION STATEMENT Kino maintains a culture where everyone takes personal responsibility for academic achievement, individual success, and lifelong learning. A great public school education is a right which ensures the success of future generations. 1
Welcome to Kino. . .
the Land of the Kolts! Welcome! You can expect great things as your teachers, the staff, and administration work to guide you to success. We are so happy you are here! Kino Junior High school is made up of diverse and wonderful learners. In order to make a positive connection between school and home, this planner will be used as an important tool. From school rules to assignment due dates, this planner is the first step in understanding how to be successful. Learning happens when everyone is responsible, respectful, and safe. Students who bring their planner to school and fill out information, and parents who review and discuss the contents with their students, are showing responsible behaviors. Understanding and following the guidelines for behavior that are outlined in here demonstrates respectful and safe behaviors. This year, our motto is “Made for More”. This means, starting as early as possible, students rise to the greatness they expect to achieve in life. Today is the day we prepare for the responsibilities and expectations for tomorrow. Best to you! Mrs. Dilbeck, Principal
Eusebio Francisco Kino, S.J. (1645-1711) Our school was built on farmland in 1965. The first Kino students were on double sessions at Mesa Junior High School during the 1965-66 school year. The new facilities included an Olympicsized swimming pool. In 1975-76, the gymnasium, concession stand, bookstore and present office were constructed. The 531-seat auditorium was built during the 1982-83 school year. During the summer of 1992 and 1993 the remainder of the school was remodeled.
Our school was named for a priest and explorer who lived in Southern Arizona from 1687 until his death in 1711. Born in Segno in Northern Italy, this quiet and gentle man was schooled in Italy and Germany. Kino came to Mexico in 1681 in the service of his church. He served in Baja, California, until he was assigned to Northern Mexico in 1687. Kino began to bring his beliefs to the Pima and Papago Indians by riding as much as 35 miles a day on horseback. He introduced new techniques in farming and raising livestock, as well as his religion to the first inhabitants of our state. As he made his journey through Arizona, he drew maps. It was one of these maps that would first show California as part of the mainland and not as an island.
Our school population has been as high as 1,650 students. Our campus included Fremont Junior High on double sessions in 1968-69. In 1974, our student population declined when Poston Junior High was opened. In 1982-83, Taylor Junior High shared our campus for one semester. An additional remodel was done in the summer of 2006 in which tile replaced carpeted hallways and cream paint replaced the pink exterior.
Kino explored Arizona as far north as the Gila River and west into California. He made more than 40 of these exploring trips, enduring the problems of desert travel. He became one of the first recorded explorers of Arizona and thus was honored in the name of our school.
A new olympic-sized swimming pool opened to Kino and the community in March 2009.
Throughout this handbook “parent” means a parent (unless parental rights have been judicially limited or severed), a legal guardian or an individual acting as a parent in absence of a parent or guardian. 2

Cases involving prolonged illness or unusual circumstances will be reviewed by school administration. Students can be cited to court for excessive absences, which are 18 excused per year. We will request a doctor’s note after five if absences become excessive. Poor attendance is grounds for retention. Late Arrivals Students who arrive late to school must check in at the attendance window. Any school missed due to late arrivals can only be excused with a doctor’s note or dental note. Please have the documentation at the time of arrival. Late arrivals caused by missing the bus, sleeping in, babysitting, accompanying other people to appointments, etc., will not be excused. If a student arrives after 10 minutes of class without proper documentation, they will be counted as an unexcused absence. Signing Out Your Student Anytime a student leaves campus, a parent or authorized guardian must sign the student out through the attendance office and show a photo ID.

Late Work Policy Students may turn in late work until a week before the end of the quarter for no more than 60% of the original value. More value is at the discretion of teacher.
Loitering Students dismissed at 3:50 are asked to leave immediately via the bus, parental pickup, or walking. Waiting for the late bus or loitering on campus or across the street is strictly prohibited. Students in violation of this will be assigned after school detention, IR, or suspended.
Lost and Found The lost and found department is in the bookstore. All items found on the Kino campus should be turned in to the bookstore manager immediately.

A PC computer lab is part of our Media Center. Students use these computers for class projects, internet research and with educational software.

Homework Homework assigned to Kino students is practice or review of current standards and skills. Homework is used as an intervention, it is not a punishment or reward.
MyMPS PortalStudent and Parent
Retention Students who fail multiple classes over multiple quarters will be placed on the retention list. Also, students with excessive absences will be placed on the retention list. Our goal is to make all students ready for high school and beyond—this means showing up and being successful.
One of the best tools to make sure you are connected to your student's education is through the MyMPS Portal (https://mymps.mpsaz.org). If you are not already registered for the portal, a brief visit to the school registrar (bring your ID!) is all you need to accomplish this. Benefits of the portal: access to student grades, schedule, calendar, attendance; view/pay fines; fund lunch accounts; make donations; access hundreds of MPS resources.
Hall & Tardy Passes Students should have a pass with them any time they are out of the classroom. Students are limited to three passes per class per quarter given at the teacher’s discretion. All hall and tardy passes are located in your agenda. If you lose your agenda you will be required to purchase a new one and you will forfeit all passes for that quarter.

Nurse’s Office
Safety
Students cannot learn if they do not feel safe. Safety is a top priority on this campus.
A school nurse is on duty throughout the school day. Her office is in the Administration Building. • In case of an emergency, students should report to the nurse. If she is not available, they should report to a counselor, the assistant principal or the principal. • To see the nurse during school hours, students need to secure a pass. All teachers have passes available. • If students become ill in the classroom, they should get permission from their teacher to see the nurse. • Students should report all injuries that happen on the school grounds. • Students should report any abnormal skin conditions to the nurse. • Students are not to leave school because of illness unless they check out with the nurse and the attendance secretary. • If students have been home with a contagious disease, they should report to the nurse’s office before going to class. • If students have any history of rheumatic fever, heart condition, diabetes or a chronic disorder, they should report this to the nurse. • An emergency card, signed by the student’s parents, should be on file with the nurse. Injured students are never to be sent home until parents or other responsible adults have been notified. • Students should not use cell or classroom phones to call home for an illness. Sick students must be seen by school nurse before leaving campus • All medication go through the nurse including inhalers and Tylenol.
Drills We conduct a variety of safety drills: fire, bus, lockdown, and evacuations. Some of these will be announced, others will not. Reporting If you are aware of an unsafe situation, please report it via student report forms (in the front office or onine report), the Silent Witness line, or to an adult on campus or at home. Security Kino has site-based security and a Mesa School Resource Officer (SRO). With administration, they conduct investigations related to reports and discipline. If given reasonable suspicion, administration and security may search students (including backpacks and cell phones).
Silent Witness Program (480) 472-STOP If you know of someone who could hurt you or others, call (480) 472-STOP, the district’s silent witness line. Report weapons, drugs or other dangerous situations anonymously. Give as many details as you can. Kino also has a silent witness program. Students are encouraged to give their counselor any information that will assist school officials in areas of concern. We offer a cash reward for accurate information regarding graffiti, drugs or violence.
Skateboards, Scooters and Rollerblades
Off-Campus Jurisdiction Arizona law allows the school district to hold you accountable for your behavior on school property, on the way to and from school, during any schoolsponsored activity, at school bus stops, and in other locations outside school grounds if the behavior has a negative impact on other students, teachers or school activities.
The use of skateboards, scooters, rollerblades, and “wheels in heels” on school grounds is prohibited by the Mesa Public Schools Governing Board. Using skateboards, scooters or rollerblades on campus at any time is prohibited. These items will be confiscated and a parent must pick them up from the office. Students using these items must leave them in a classroom at the start of the day.
Protection of School Staff Rights
Visitors to Campus
Just like students, staff members at Mesa Public Schools are protected by special laws that ensure their rights are protected. Arizona Revised Statutes § 15-507 states: “Any person who knowingly abuses a teacher or other school employee on school grounds or while the teacher or employee is engaged in the performance of his duties is guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor.” Abuse includes the use of profanity and/or profane or threatening gestures directed at a teacher. Please treat these adults, who help you develop the skills you need to become a successful citizen, with the same respect you would expect from them.
All visitors must check in at the office as soon as they arrive on campus and wear a visitor’s pass while on the campus. To minimize disruption to the educational process of the school, student visitors are not allowed.

Silver Service Award for EXCELLENCE in SERVICE LEARNING
...an award for 7th and 8th grade students who contribute significantly to the improvement of their school or the greater community through service learning... All Mesa 7th and 8th grade students may choose to earn the Mesa Public Schools Silver Service Award for Excellence in Service Learning. Students who earn this award will receive: • A certificate with a “Silver Seal” • A notation of the Award on their permanent record The Silver Service Award will be awarded to students for their completion of 50 hours of unpaid service during their two years of junior high. The hours include preparation, action, and reflection. Students may earn hours from the first day of 7th grade through 8th grade from a combination of curriculum-based and extracurricular service. These hours only apply to Junior High; they WILL NOT carry over to High School. The two options are described below.
Op�on A: CURRICULUM-BASED SERVICE LEARNING Option A occurs when a teacher uses service learning as an instructional strategy. Students are involved in service to the community that is linked to the goals and standards of a particular course. Service may take place during class, or beyond the school day. Some examples are: • Project Citizen students research a local issue and take action to solve the problem. • English students write and illustrate original short stories to donate. • Teens and Teaching students create and lead lessons for elementary students. • Performing arts students sing, dance, march, and play for senior citizens or in a parade. • American History students interview senior citizens and publish oral histories. • Science students develop a exerscape garden on campus.
Op�on B: EXTRACURRICULAR SERVICE LEARNING Option B occurs when students are involved in service activities that are not part of an academic class. The activities may be organized by a school club, a community organization, or one or more students with an original idea. Examples are: • Students in a school club manage the school recycling program. • A student tutors or translates for peers. • Students clean up yards or make cookies for senior citizens. • A student volunteers at a food bank with his/her family. • Students in NJHS or a service club conduct a school-wide drive. • Students help with the school’s yearbook, newspaper, or video journalism. • A student volunteers as a camp counselor during the summer. • A student serves as an assistant coach, timekeeper, or manager for youth sports. NOTE: Students registered as a “Teacher/Office Aide” may receive service hours by following Option B procedures. OPTION B ACTIVITIES HAVE TO BE PRE-APPROVED BY THE SERVICE LEARNING COACH BEFORE HOURS MAY COUNT TOWARD THE HONOR.

TRACKING AND PAPERWORK “The Rules”
A Service Learning Coach at each junior high and high school will track student progress. Students may check with their Service Learning Coach about the service learning entries and hours that appear on their individual student records. The Mesa Service Learning Advisory Board is available to help the Coaches and if necessary hear any appeals from students.
OPTION A: Teachers are responsible
OPTION B: Students are responsible for completing the proper paperwork for Option B
for submitting, to the Coaches, the names, project titles, and number of hours for their students at the end of each semester. Those hours are then entered on the students’ Synergy screen. The Service Learning Coach maintains a file of the Option A projects and hours submitted by the teachers.
service activities: an application and timecard for each service site and a summative reflection presentation on all of the year’s service. The application and reflection instructions are available from the Service Learning Coach or the website, but the timecard is only available from the Coach once the proposed activities have been approved. • First, the student submits one application for each service site that outlines the planned activities. Students may submit as many applications as necessary. • Second, the student maintains one timecard for each service site with dates and times of the service hours. The cards are DUE MAY 1. Before the cards are turned in, the service hours on the card should be totaled and the adult supervisor should write a short evaluation of the student in the space provided and sign the card. • Third, the student presents a reflection project in May to a small audience that demonstrates what the student learned from the year’s service experiences. Students will be notified of their school’s reflection date and should not miss this important event. If students do not complete a reflection project, their hours will not be recorded.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Option B activities MUST be approved by the Service Learning Coach BEFORE the student begins
receiving credit for the service hours.
• After students turn in their timecards in May of 7th grade, they may want to immediately apply for a new timecard if they are continuing their service activities for the rest of the school year, through the summer, or into 8th grade. Once a new cycle has begun, students may not record hours from the previous year.
• Upon completion of eighth grade, students may apply for the high school level Honor for Excellence in Service Learning, and they may earn hours during the summer between 8th and 9th grade toward the Honor.
Service learning acƟviƟes will not be approved which: • Relate to a for-profit business • Are done as part of religious education or a religious worship service • Benefit the student’s relatives • Are “babysitting for free”
