1Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the principal of Northside Learning Center (NLC) I am pleased to welcome your child to a new
school year! The staff at NLC looks forward to working with your child to assist them as they
develop the skills necessary to be a successful member of their community.
Northside Learning Center has tiered systems of support in place to ensure your child’s academic
and social-emotional needs are met. We recognize the uniqueness of every one of our students,
and we hold all students to high expectations.
Posted throughout the building are our school-wide expectations (listed below) for students, staff
and visitors. We use this universal language to maintain a respectful environment and I
encourage you to use the same language at home with your child.
Northside Learning Center’s HOWL:
● HEAR OTHERS
● OWN YOUR BEHAVIOR
● WORK COOPERATIVELY
● LEAD BY EXAMPLE
At NLC, we believe that the culture of the school is shaped by our students, their parents, and
our staff members. As a parent of an NLC student you are welcome to attend various school
events such as: Performances, Parent Action Committee meetings (PAC), Bilingual Advisory
Committee Meetings (BAC), Local School Council Meetings (LSC), parent outings sponsored by
PAC and our Counseling/Social Work Department, and special events such as our Fall Fest. You
may even want to join our Polar Plunge Team in March when we support our Special Olympics
athletes through raising funds for Special Olympic activities. We value our families and know that
student success cannot be attained without your support.
Please take the time to review this handbook, it includes detailed information regarding our
program, expectations, discipline policy and details to help you better understand the school. We
know that 2019-20 will be a busy and productive school year!

Chicago Park District – Therapeutic Recreation Program
The Park Kids Program is not a guaranteed benefit of the Chicago Public Schools transportation program.
Requests for this service are required to be made by the parent and approved by the principal, then
submitted to the CPS Department of Transportation for final processing. The “Green Form” is available
on the CPS Website or in the main office. The applications will be processed after the first day of school
and service to those parks will begin on a date TBD. Students who go to the park district during the
current school year, and will be participating in the new school year, will have the form sent home at the
end of this year. This form must be returned to the school office by June 1st as part of “Application for
Bus Service”. Service will typically start 21 days after the forms have been submitted. This form must be
completed each school year. Regularly scheduled bus routes are slightly adjusted in the afternoon to
serve the approved Park Kids Program. Parents are required to submit a calendar of the park’s daily
6operations and closings. Any changes to the normal daily route to the park as designated on the park
district calendar/schedule will be honored as a courtesy only in the case of emergencies. Any other
necessary arrangements are the parents’ responsibility to schedule through parent pick up, private
transportation services, or authorized family/guardians.
Early Dismissal/Parent Pick Up Protocol
In the event that students will not be taking the school bus home at the end of the day, parents should
arrive to the school by 2:15 PM. Upon entering the building parents should inform the security guard at
the front desk that they are here to pick up the students, and then proceed directly to the main office to
sign the student out. Parents/Guardians must wait in the main office. Parents/Guardians are not
allowed to roam the building or the grounds while waiting for the student. The clerk will call the
student down from his/her class to be dismissed. If a student will be transported by a Private SCR/PACE
car, this should be scheduled to arrive by 2:15 PM. If a student has not been picked up by 2:30 PM, they
will be put on the school bus to go home.
Undeliverable Student
In the event that a student is transported home on the bus and there is no one home to receive
them, the bus aide will call the Student Safety Center, the school, and the bus company. The
school will call the numbers on the student’s emergency form and attempt to speak to
someone to let the student in the house. If the school cannot get in touch with anyone, the
student will be brought back to the school. Once back at the school, office staff will call all of
the numbers on the student’s emergency form again and arrange for the student to be picked
up. If the school cannot get in touch with a person listed on the emergency form by 5:15 PM,
the child will be taken to the 17th District Police Station located at 4650 N Pulaski Rd, Chicago, IL
60630. Once the student has been taken to the police station, it is the parent’s responsibility to
go and pick them up. Please remember, it is the parent’s responsibility to be home to receive
the student at the end of the day.
Cell Phone Policy
Use of cell phones in the building for students during school hours is strictly prohibited.
Students may use their cell phones for instructional purposes in the classroom at the discretion
of the classroom teacher. This does not include charging phones during class time. Upon the
student entering their homeroom, they must turn in their cell phone to their teacher of record
each morning. The teacher will safely store his/her phone throughout the day and give it back
to the student upon dismissal. No students may talk on their phones in the building until after
8th period. Students in violation of the cell phone policy will receive the following
consequences: RED SLIP. The Red slip policy is described below. This policy is subject to change
or may be revised at the discretion of the administration at any time deemed necessary.
7RED SLIP PROCEDURE
Due to the influx of the student code violations listed below, NLC is adopting a new protocol
for inappropriate cell phone usage.

violence, or interrupt other students’ participation in school activities, including use of
device to record others without permission or unauthorized distribution of recordings.

devices, or other sexual activities which do not involve the use of force.
● 5-14 Use of any computer, including social networking websites, or use of any
information technology device to threaten, stalk, harass, bully or otherwise intimidate
others.
A red slip should be given to the student when:

conducts investigation and finds inappropriate material on the phone.
● There are inappropriate videos/pictures of students on the phone.

Northside Learning Center has a standard Dress Code Policy rather than a school uniform.
The Dress Code Policy is:

DISCIPLINE POLICY
DISCIPLINE CODE
The Board of Education has adopted a “Student Code of Conduct” which must be explained and
distributed to every child and parent at the beginning of each school year. Be sure students
understand their responsibilities and the actions that will be taken when followed. Be familiar
with all aspects of the code. No actions will be taken contrary to what is allowed in the code in
consultation with the student’s IEP.
9“Chicago Public Schools is committed to an instructive, corrective, and restorative approach to
behavior” (Chicago Public Schools’ Student Code of Conduct). Like all Chicago public high
schools, Northside Learning Center high school abides by the Student Code of Conduct.
Northside Learning Center will provide each student with a print copy of the CPS Student Code
of Conduct at the beginning of the school year. The Student Code of Conduct is also available
online at https://www.cps.edu/Pages/StudentCodeofConduct.aspx . Students are expected to
abide by this Code. The administration has the right to deny a student access to and/or
participate in any school sponsored activities or events based upon a misconduct. Student
disciplinary measures are kept in student files.
Student Behaviors Covered by the Student Code of Conduct
This section identifies the specific inappropriate behaviors for which students
will receive interventions and/or consequences. The behaviors are listed in
six different groups, according to the degree of disruption to the learning
environment.
• Group 1 lists behaviors that are inappropriate.
• Group 2 lists behaviors that disrupt.
• Group 3 lists behaviors that seriously disrupt.
• Group 4 lists behaviors that very seriously disrupt.
• Group 5 lists behaviors that most seriously disrupt.
• Group 6 lists behaviors that are illegal and most seriously disrupt.
Student Misconduct
All students and families should familiarize themselves with the Chicago Public Schools Student
Code of Conduct . The student who commits an act of misconduct not listed in the Student
Code of Conduct is subject to the discretionary authority of the classroom teacher and the
principal, assistant principal or designee. All students receive a copy of the Student Code of
Conduct at the start of the school year.
In reviewing the Chicago Board of Education’s Student Code of Conduct, parents and students
should pay particular attention to Sections 5 and 6 and its corresponding infractions. Please
note that students who violate any of these infractions face mandatory expulsion proceedings.
Intimidation/Harassment/Bullying/Threats
Harassing, intimidating conduct, or bullying whether verbal, physical or visual, that affects the
tangible benefits of education, that unreasonably interferes with a student’s educational
performance, or that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational environment will
not be tolerated. Examples of prohibited conduct include name‐calling, using derogatory slurs,
stalking, causing psychological harm, threatening or causing physical harm, threatened or actual
10destruction of property, wearing or possessing items depicting or implying hatred or prejudice,
or retaliating against a student for reporting prohibited conduct. All alleged incidents of bullying
intimidation or harassment would be investigated promptly and thoroughly. Appropriate
consequences and remedial action will be taken against any student who violates one or more
of these policies.
Demerit System (FINE)
The Demerit System (FINE) addresses dress code violations and discipline violations. Any
student who violates the dress code or discipline policy will be issued a FINE. Continued
negligence will lead to progressive discipline including removal from upcoming activities, lunch
detentions or in-school or out of school suspensions. Continued improvement will lead to
positive recognition. Please see the chart below outlining the demerit system.

are eligible for a special senior demerit reduction plan.

Special Olympics
Northside Learning Center is proud to participate in many Special Olympics events throughout
the school year. Students participate in Soccer, Snowshoe, Basketball, Track & Field and Softball
throw. Students participate in competitions at the city level and if they receive a Gold medal,
they have the opportunity to travel downstate for the Special Olympics State competition. This
is a three-day overnight event in places such as Galena Illinois and Illinois State University-
Bloomington Normal Illinois. These trips include an opening ceremony, three days of
11competition and is capped off with a celebratory dance. Families are more than welcome to
meet the team downstate to cheer on and support their athlete and the NLC team. However,
please know this is not a family trip. Families are required to arrange and pay for their hotel
stay. Families are welcome to meet their athlete at the time of their competition. Please
remember, the downstate experience is for the athlete and their team. They will eat breakfast,
lunch & dinner with their teammates. Parents are responsible for finding their own dining
separate from their son/daughter. In addition, parents are not to escort their student to the
dance or opening ceremony. The athlete is required to stay and participate with his/her
teammates. This is an opportunity for the athlete to travel away from his/her family and to
partake in this wonderful experience with his/her friends. The downstate experience allows our
athletes to be as independent as possible and grow their daily living skills.
Academic Expectations Northside Learning Center Learner Profile

their junior year participate in the Drama program where students put on an end of the year
musical. During the 2018-2019 school-year, Northside announced a new culinary program
which is continuing this year.
Grading, Graduation & Promotion
All students are entitled to alternative grading and/or promotion criteria as needed. If a student has
been deemed eligible for alternative grading and/or promotion criteria, this information is documented
within the student’s Individualized Educational Plan (IEP). It is the responsibility of each teacher to
review the student’s grading and promotion criteria and develop learning tasks accordingly. It is also
each teacher’s responsibility to differentiate the instructional goals allowing each student the
opportunity to demonstrate success within the classroom.

Attendance is important for academic success. Arriving to school and classes on time is an
expectation for all students. The school day begins promptly at 7:30 AM and students are

CPS Student Code of Conduct & Off-Campus Behavior
Northside Learning Center students are expected to hold themselves to high standards. All students are
subject to consequences outlined in the Student Code of Conduct for any infractions that occur between
the school and home, as well as any behavior that is diffused in the school building but is carried outside
or around school grounds. The CPS Student Code of Conduct will be used to determine consequences
for inappropriate behavior. Persistent negative behaviors will result in more severe consequences issued
to students.
Progressive discipline will be enforced for the possession and/or use of weapons, alcohol and/or drugs
as well as involvement in any gang-related incidents including but not limited to graffiti, representation
through articles of clothing, and/or intimidation. Students found involved in such activities are subject to
consequences outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. This includes activity that occurs after school
hours.
Parent Involvement
Parent/Guardian Visits
Parent/Guardian conferences and appointments with teachers are welcomed and encouraged. In order
to maximize instructional time, parents/guardians are required to make an appointment in advance
with the teacher they would like to see. In addition, parents should also make an appointment in
advance with the administrative or support staff at the school to address concerns or schedule
conference.
Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
Involvement of family members at NLC is welcome and strongly encouraged. Parent/Guardian support is
crucial to the success of our students and school community. One way for parents/guardians to
participate in the school community is through the Parent Advisory Council (PAC), which will convene in
late September and meet monthly with the Principal. The purpose of this council is to maintain
communication between the school and families and support the educational and extracurricular
programs of our school.
Bilingual Advisory Committee (BAC)
Every school implementing a state-mandated Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) Program is required to
establish a Bilingual Advisory Committee (BAC) according to the Chicago School Reform Act. Northside Learning
Center encourages parents to participate in the BAC meetings since issues regarding the education of all English
Learners are discussed and decided at these meetings. The goal of the BAC is to help parents of English Learners
develop leadership skills for effective participation in schools and to advocate for the academic, social, and cultural
development of all English Learners.
