I've been an educator since 1979 and have served as teacher, coach, athletic director, alumni director, development director, assistant to the president, and principal. My duties as assistant principal encompass many administrative areas including discipline and attendance. Discipline Swanton High School strives to provide an atmosphere and the opportunity for students to develop into productive, respectful, caring and educated people. Rules listed in our student handbook are offered in order to make students aware of behavior which they are expected to meet. When self-control falters and discipline fails, disciplinary action must be imposed on the individual to protect the rights of others.
All rules are in effect for the period of time defined as the school day.
Attendance The State of Ohio mandates that schools be in session 180 days each school year. Students legally enrolled must be in school a minimum of 6 hours each day. Swanton High School enforces the policy of the Northwest Ohio Education Service Center regarding student absences from school. The policy outlines the procedures for excessive absences and truancy. In order to earn credit for any course under the block schedule, there shall be no more than 8 absences per semester.
