Info

Lockers Students in Grades 6-12 will be assigned lockers for the purpose of protecting the student’s textbooks, workbooks, etc. and preventing loss or theft. Each student will be issued a combination padlock by the school. Only the school-issued padlocks may be used by the students. Teachers will work with the students at the beginning of the school year to help them become adept at using their locks. The students are responsible for the padlock and for seeing that their books and belongings are locked in the locker when not in use. In the event that the padlock is lost or damaged, the student will be required to pay for a replacement at a cost of $15.00. Students are responsible for keeping their lockers neat and in good repair. Any broken door, hinge, or lock should be reported immediately to the homeroom teacher. If the damage is caused by student misuse, the student will be required to pay for the repair. School lockers are the property of the school, and at no time does the school relinquish its exclusive control of lockers provided for the convenience of the students. School authorities may conduct inspection of the interior of lockers at any time without notice and without student or parent consent. Fire and Emergency Drills How we practice for an emergency will determine how we respond in the event there is an actual emergency. Therefore, fire drills are held monthly during the school year, and other emergency drills are held throughout the year as determined by the Security Planning Team. Supervision of Students Teachers and Teaching Assistants are responsible for the supervision of the children at all times during the school day and are expected to exercise supervision over students on the school grounds at all times, whether the student is in their class or not. Playground and building safety are the responsibility of every member of the professional staff. Accident Reports In the event of an accident, the School Nurse should be notified immediately. After attending to the child, the Nurse will inform the Administration and the parents. It is important that the parents keep the school informed with their up-to-date contact information, as well as health conditions of the child and information for an emergency contact person in case the parents cannot be reached. The teacher or teaching assistant who witnesses the accident or tends to the child will submit a written statement of what happened to the appropriate Principal on the same day of the accident. 15
Attendance Policy Revised by Board of Governors, March 2009 The learning experiences which take place in the classroom environment are a meaningful and essential part of the education program. Time lost from class due to absences is irretrievable, particularly in terms of lost opportunity for the interaction and exchange of ideas and information between students and teachers. Attempting to retrieve past assignments is not a satisfactory substitute for time spent in the classroom. Furthermore, it is unfair to other students who have made the effort to be in attendance, as it impedes the progress of the entire class. Therefore, we will apply the following attendance policy to determine whether a student will receive credit for classes attended at AISA. Minimum Attendance A student may not be absent for more than ten (10) days during any semester. We define absences as any time the student is not in class during the instructional day. The accumulation of more than ten (10) days in non-attendance in any one semester may be considered reason for the student not receiving credit for the semester. The Principal will evaluate each 10-day absence on a case-by-case basis to determine whether to grant credit, and/or whether other penalties should be administered. Absences from semester to semester are non-cumulative. It is assumed that the same number of days within the allowed ten (10) days is a reasonable time frame within which the missed work can be made up. Students in the high school who fail to meet the minimum attendance requirement may lose credit and receive a “WF” (withdraw fail) grade for the semester, regardless of the grades. Students in the middle school who fail to meet the minimum attendance requirement may receive no grades for the semester, regardless of their performance. Each of these cases will be reviewed and a decision made by the Principal. It is the responsibility of the student to arrange with the teachers to make up work missed as soon as s/he returns to school and to submit it within the allotted number of days. Days missed as a result of out-of-school suspension are unexcused absences. Students who are absent for more than 50% of instructional time during the school day will be marked absent for the day and are not eligible to participate in after-school activities that day. Emergency/Planned Absence Parents who are planning to take their children out of school for other than illness and family emergencies should collect an Emergency Planned Absence Request Form from the Administration Office. (A copy of the form is also at the back of this Handbook.) The form should be completed and returned to the Administration Office at least one week prior to the requested absence. In the case of an emergency, the form should be submitted as soon as possible. School holidays are provided for in our school calendar; family holidays that go beyond these days are highly discouraged. Notification in the Event of Illness or Other Absence Please note: Students who are absent must have a written excuse from the parent that they submit to the office or the parent must phone the school. The written excuse must include the date, reason, and parent’s signature. Parents should call the office between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. if the child will be absent that day. 16
