SUPPLEMENT to Sabine Parish Schools’
Parent & Student Handbook 2020-2021
School Operations during a Pandemic or Other Health
Emergency
A pandemic is a global outbreak of disease. Pandemics happen
when a new virus emerges to infect individuals and, because there is
little to no pre-existing immunity against the new virus, it spreads
sustainably. Your child’s school and district play an essential role,
along with the local health department and emergency management
agencies, in protecting the public’s health and safety during a
pandemic or other health emergency.
During a pandemic or other health emergency, you will be notified
in a timely manner of all changes to the school environment and
schedule that affect your child. Please be assured that even if
school is not physically in session, it is the goal of the school and
district to provide your child with the best educational
opportunities possible.
Additionally, please note the following:
1. All decisions regarding changes to the school environment and
schedule, including a possible interruption of in-person learning,
will be made by the superintendent in consultation with and, if
necessary, at the direction of the Governor, Louisiana Department
of Public Health, local health department, emergency
management agencies, and/or the Louisiana Board of
Elementary and Secondary Education.
2. Available learning opportunities may include remote
and/or blended learning. Blended learning may require

Page | 3your child/children to attend school on a modified
schedule.
3. Students will be expected to participate in blended and
remote instruction as required by the school and district.
4. Parents are responsible for assuring the participation of
their child/children.
5. Students who do not participate in blended or remote
learning will be considered truant.
6. All school disciplinary rules remain in effect even during
the interruption of in-person learning.
7. Students are subject to discipline for disrupting the
remote learning environment to the same extent that
discipline would be imposed for disruption of the
traditional classroom.
8. Students are also expected to follow all student safety
protocols. Violations of school disciplinary rules are
subject to disciplinary action as provided by the District
Code of Conduct and all related disciplinary policies.
9. Due to safety measures implemented in response to
COVID-19, some elements of our discipline plan will be
temporarily suspended (one example, Project Decision at
SPARK) depending upon the state’s reopening phase as
set by Gov. John Bel Edwards as well as mitigation steps
recommended by the LDOE and LDH.
10. Students and parents will be required to observe all
public health and safety measures implemented by the
school and district in conjunction with state and local
requirements.
11. During a pandemic or other health emergency, the
school and district will ensure that educational
opportunities are available to all students.
12. School personnel will work closely with students with
disabilities and other vulnerable student populations to
minimize the impact of any educational disruption.

Page | 413. Students who have a compromised immune system,
live with an individual with a compromised immune
system, or have a medical condition that may impact their
ability to attend school during a pandemic or other public
health emergency should contact school officials.
14. Alternative means for best educating students outside
of a traditional setting will be made on a case-by-case
basis.
15. During a pandemic or other health emergency,
teachers and school staff will receive additional training
on health and safety measures.
16. During a pandemic or other health emergency,
teachers and school staff take extra cleaning and
disinfecting measures.
17. In accordance with school district or state mandates,
the school may need to conduct a daily health assessment
of your child. Parents and students will be notified of the
exact assessment procedures if this becomes necessary.
18. Parents should not send their child to school if their
child exhibits any symptoms consistent with the
pandemic or other health emergency.
19. Please do not hesitate to contact school or district
officials if you have any concerns regarding your child’s
education, health or safety.

Page | 5FACE COVERINGS
Ensuring student safety is one of the highest responsibilities of every school
system. During the COVID-19 pandemic, that responsibility has been further
magnified. For this reason, effective for the 2020-21 school year and until
further notice, Sabine Parish Schools will require face coverings for all bus
riders. Additionally, adults and students (3rd grade and up) will be required to
wear face coverings, as able, to the maximum extent possible. Any child over
the age of two may wear a face covering. Face coverings should be worn in all
areas of the school. This includes classrooms. Most importantly, face coverings
must be worn during arrival, dismissal, and any other transition within the
school building. Students will be allowed face-covering breaks throughout the
day when it is safe to do so and will have the freedom to remove the mask in
the event of emergencies.
Exceptions will be made for individuals with severe breathing difficulties,
disabilities, or other health/safety concerns. A physician’s statement shall be
required as evidence that an individual is unable to wear a face covering while
on the bus or while on school facilities. In such cases, other forms of face
covering will be utilized such as face shields.
We recognize that the topic of face coverings is met with both support and
opposition. In addition, we respect the decision of each guardian to choose
what is best for his/her children and will therefore provide an alternative
educational option for parents who do not want their children to wear a mask
while on the school bus and while at school. Parents will have the discretion to
enroll their children into the Sabine Online Academic Program, if they do not
wish for their children to return to face-to-face classes in the 2020-21 school
year.
Face coverings are being added to the student and employee dress codes and
must be provided by parents and employees. We understand that from time to
time a student may forget his/her face covering at home and will be happy to
provide one. Should it become evident that a student’s lack of having an
adequate face covering becomes habitual, the student and his/her guardians
will be required to have a conference with the school principal, prior to being
allowed to return to school. If a student exercises willful disobedience toward
any district/school employee when asked to wear a face covering and blatantly
refuses, he/she will be asked to sit in a special quarantine room until his/her
649 Championship Drive | P.O. Box 188 | Zwolle, Louisiana 71486 | Phone: (318) 645-6104 | Fax: (318) 645-4830
Page | 6parents are available for pick-up and will be disciplined in accordance with the
school’s discipline policy for willful disobedience. If a student refuses to wear
a mask to school and is supported by his/her parents, the student and his/her
guardians will be required to have a conference with the Director of Student
Services prior to being allowed to return to school.
As with all student dress, in alignment with the SPSB Student Dress Code Policy,
students are required to be responsible in their dress and grooming by avoiding
extremes and manifesting self-discipline. Cooperation of parents is essential.
Student dress and grooming are not to be a source of disruption in classes,
school programs, or other school-related activities or detract from the learning
environment of the school. No student shall wear, possess, use, distribute,
display, or sell any face covering with evidence of affiliation with tobacco,
drugs, alcohol, or violence or gang related activities or that exhibits profane or
obscene language/gestures. Administrators are authorized to use their
discretion in determining extremes in style of dress and grooming and what is
appropriate and suitable for school wear. The school administrator shall be the
final interpreter of the dress code.

PHILOSOPHY
We, the faculty of Zwolle High School, feel that the school is the unifying agent within our
community. The school must accept the challenges of preparing the student to be a well-rounded,
productive member of the community, but the community, in return, must provide the financial
and moral support for a successful school system. Thus, we believe that positive interaction
between school and community is necessary to sustain a desirable educational program.
We believe that each student should have the opportunity to reach his full potential in the
academic, athletic, and social areas. We recognize the fact that individual differences in ability in
all these areas do exist, and through our educational program we adjust our techniques of
teaching and the learning situation to meet these differences in an effort to encourage the best
possible use of the capacity that each student possesses.
We stress discipline as a key principle in developing a sound educational environment. We feel
that discipline enhances both teaching and learning and creates an atmosphere of respect and
cooperation among students, faculty, and administrators. We, therefore, encourage the
development of self-discipline so as to make a student more receptive to his responsibilities as he
becomes a member of our democratic society.
We recognize the cultural backgrounds that exist in our local school system and the community.
The faculty seeks to encourage an understanding of and an appreciation for these various cultural
influences so as to prepare the student to be able to interact, as an adult, with the multi-cultures
that are present in the American society.
We, the faculty and administration, seek to instill within the student body an appreciation for the
sacrifices and efforts that have been made by all segments of society in establishing the freedoms
that we, as Americans, enjoy. We realize that continually-changing forces shape these United
States and attempt to prepare the student to confront these challenges awaiting him as a worker
and a citizen as he leaves the formal educational environment. We believe, most importantly,
that a student must appreciate his own self-worth and his identity as an individual in preparation
for constructive participation in our American system.

designated location and not sit in their vehicles. Alcoholic beverages, weapons, illegal drugs
and/or controlled and hazardous substances are not permitted in vehicles parked in the school
parking area. Students will be required to purchase a parking permit from the office. Students
who purchase permits will be drug tested and subject to random drug screening throughout the
year. Penalties for careless or fast driving on campus are left to the discretion of the principal.
Cars may be parked in the student parking lot only.
LOCKS AND LOCKERS
Students are required to rent a locker with a school lock for a cost of $5.00. Homeroom teachers

teacher. The regular teacher has the option of giving all tests or allowing the SAC teacher to
administer them.
Students are assigned specific times to attend to their restroom and thirst needs. This time will
occur when all other students are in class. They will have lunch when all other students are in
