PARENTS are responsible for: Monitoring and checking the student’s assignment book to make sure that assignments are being written down each day and ensure that the homework is being completed (especially Grades 6-8). Providing encouragement and support, showing interest in the student’s work Assisting students in developing good study habits by providing a comfortable, well-lit study area away from distractions. This includes the computer and other electronics devices like MP3 players and iPods. Regardless of what students may claim, it is not possible to focus attention on school work while listening to music or chatting on-line with friends. Encouraging students to set a regular time for studying Monitoring students to ensure the homework is packed into the school bag (especially Grades 6-8) Evaluating student’s out-of-school activities to be sure the student has sufficient study time Conferring with teachers regarding any homework concerns Because all homework should be meaningful and assigned with a clear purpose in mind, emphasis should be placed on timely completion of homework, projects, or assignments. This builds responsibility and confidence in the student and ensures that the student is mastering the material. If a student does not complete the homework or if it is done improperly or carelessly, the teacher is encouraged to use a number of strategies to ensure completion, including student conferencing, mandatory after-school homework sessions, parent contact, parent conferences, etc. Tutoring or Private Lessons for Pay Under no conditions should teachers and teaching assistants tutor their own students for pay. Any tutoring that happens on campus must be recommended and approved by the appropriate Division Principal as part of an academic support plan. The rate for this tutoring is N 2,500 per hour for one student and N 2,000 for a group of two students per student. Tutoring for pay by teachers/assistants shall not occur during the school day (7:30 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. Monday through Friday) or when it conflicts with any school meeting or event or lesson preparation. The school maintains a list of potential tutors available for distribution to interested parents; however, it does not otherwise involve itself in the private arrangement between the tutor and the family. Tutoring that is arranged privately with the family must be conducted off campus and the rates are private arrangement between the family and the tutor. Please note: Tutoring schedules must not conflict with school responsibilities. It is not the responsibility of the school to monitor the progress of tutoring arrangements. Visitors to Campus For security reasons and to minimize interruptions to the learning process, visitors are not allowed to go directly to any classroom. All visitors, including drivers, security guards, alumni or former students, and other adults, are required to check in at the Administration Office. After communicating why they are on campus, the Administrative staff will help them and, if necessary, an office runner can deliver a message. Student Visitors Students who do not attend AISA are not allowed on the campus during school or school-sponsored activities without prior permission of the division head. Teachers should follow up on any student 11
they do not know, and report unknown persons to the Administration. The respective Principal should be informed in advance if other schools are coming to AISA to participate in sports activities or other events like the Science Fair. If you see someone on campus that you do not know, or if someone appears suspicious to you, please alert the Administration immediately. For security purposes, we do not allow anyone to go directly to the classrooms without first checking in at the Administration Office and the <strong>Secondary</strong> Office. Occasionally it is possible to arrange to have a non-AISA student to attend classes for one (1) day and follow an AISA student’s (host) schedule. A request for this type of visit must be made three school days in advance. Approval is at the discretion of the <strong>Secondary</strong> Principal. The visiting student must be with his/her host during the entire visit and must follow the rules and code of conduct outlines in our handbook. Vehicles on campus and Campus Safety All parents and drivers are expected to follow these guidelines: AISA STICKER--For security purposes, all vehicles must display an AISA sticker or U.S. Embassy license plates in order to be admitted onto the campus. Vehicles without either of these will not be allowed on campus. SECURITY GUARDS AND STAFF DIRECTING TRAFFIC--Upon approaching the entrance gate, and at all times while on campus, drivers are required to respect the instructions of AISA security guards and staff. Failure to comply may result in the vehicle and driver being banned from the campus. PARKING—Drivers may not park in or on areas that are not designated as parking areas. This includes areas without concrete curbs or on the school yard. NOISE—Horns should not be used on campus except to protect students or other pedestrians. Drivers are advised to exhibit patience and not use the horn in an attempt to make another driver hurry. Car stereo volume should be turned low when on school grounds. STAYING IN LINE—Drivers are advised to stay in line and not pull out in an effort to get off the campus quicker. This creates a dangerous situation for our students, parents and staff members. WEAPONS ON CAMPUS—Security and other personal protection staff are not permitted to carry weapons on campus without the express written permission of the Director. Under no circumstances may weapons be visible. Personal security guards or police may not exit vehicles while carrying weapons. The guards must remain in the car with their weapons or the weapons must remain in the car. We appreciate your cooperation in discussing these guidelines with your driver. Bulletin Board Announcements Our bulletin boards offer a great opportunity to share information within our school community. Before posting anything on a bulletin board or a notice board, please check with the Administration Office. A member of the administrative staff will initial the notice before it is posted. General notices/announcements will remain posted for two weeks. Notices that are posted without prior approval will be removed. 12
