Student Behavior Expectations Within the context of the guidelines in this section, every AISA student is expected to: Listen when others are speaking Eat in authorized areas and at the appropriate times Follow all directions given by staff members Come prepared to each class with homework and all necessary books and supplies. Time should not be wasted by going back to the locker to get the things that are needed for class. Violations of the school’s Behavioral Expectations/Code of Conduct will be addressed based on the guidelines in the Summary of Code of Conduct Infractions and Consequences (at end of this section). Consequences within those guidelines are assessed on a case by case basis and are at the discretion of the secondary principal. Positive Discipline At AISA, we believe that our Middle School and High School students are responsible for their own behavior. We also value the practice of positive discipline and are committed to helping students participate in the establishment and monitoring of class rules and making good choices. Each teacher is expected to handle discipline issues in his/her own classroom in a fair, objective, and mature manner that preserves the dignity of all persons involved. Abusive or demeaning language or arguing with a student is considered unprofessional and corporal punishment or threat of corporal punishment is prohibited. As the adults in their lives, it is important for parents and teachers to work together to help a child correct any discipline issues that may arise. Often all that is needed is a reminder of the guidelines and expectations. A student may be referred to the head of secondary in the event of a severe discipline issue or if efforts to help the child make good choices have failed. When a child is referred to the head of secondary for disciplinary action on three separate occasions, a letter will be sent to the parents, and a copy of the referral notices will be placed in the student’s file. Serious offenses will result in an immediate parent contact and may require an on-site conference with the student, parents, and teachers. If the division head determines that an individual student’s behavior is chronic or deteriorating, or if efforts to modify behavior have not been effective, the division head may refer the student to the Discipline Committee for possible interventions or recommendations for further action. Discipline Committee The Secondary AISA Discipline Committee may be convened by the secondary principal. It exists to consider discipline issues that have not been corrected by the usual classroom procedures that each teacher has in place, resulting in the child being referred to the Administration on at least three separate occasions during the course of a semester. The Discipline Committee may also be called to consider instances of serious violations of AISA’s expectations by a student. The committee is made up of the Director, Secondary Principal, Counselor, and two secondary teachers appointed by the Secondary Principal. Referral to the Discipline Committee is serious and may result in short- or long-term suspension or expulsion. Detentions Students may be required to serve a detention as a disciplinary measure related to behavior of homework. The student may be held for after-school detention. Students may also serve detention during one of the school breaks if the student is willing to give up that time and if the teacher gives 25
them that option. The student will be expected to contact their parents and it is the parents’ responsibility to arrange transportation home, particularly if the student rides a bus. Electronic Devices Students are allowed to used use iPods, CD players, MP3 players, electronic games during break times, before school, at lunch, or after school. The use of these devices is prohibited in classes, including study hall and library, unless authorized by the supervising teacher. Not only do they disturb the lesson, they are often lost. When used inappropriately, such items will be taken by the teacher and sent to the Principal. Continued disregard of this rule will result in the confiscation of the device for the semester. The school cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to electronic devices. Use of Cell Phones Because cell phones are useful in case of an emergency, staff and students (Grades 6 – 12) can bring cell phones to the school. However, to avoid disruption of classes, cell phones are not to be used in the classroom and cell phones should not be used during the school day except in an emergency, to be determined by the administration. All students must leave their cell phones turned off during school hours. Consequences for student’s violation of this guideline: First Offense: The teacher will take the device to the Principal. The student can collect the device after school. Second Offense: The device will be taken to the Principal. The student can collect the cell phone after five school days or the student’s parent may come in to retrieve the device. Third Offense: Student will lose the privilege of carrying the device to school and all subsequent violations will be regarded as insubordination and treated as such. The school will not be responsible for the loss or damage of cell phones and will not investigate any loss or damage. The school will not be responsible for the loss or damage of cell phones and will not investigate any loss or damage. Dress Code There are no uniform requirements at AISA, though it is expected that student attire be considerate of others, as our school represents many countries and cultures. Students must wear clothing that is modest, neat, clean, and respectful of others’ beliefs. Students are encouraged to think of the school as a formal learning setting and should be mindful of clothing that may be a distraction to the learning process. Adherence to the dress code demonstrates respect for self as well as for others. Regular Dress Code The following Dress Code is to be worn at school and at all school-sponsored activities. The school dance code can be used for school dances. Students are asked to follow the guidelines below: Jeans or trousers should not sag or be low-cut to expose midriff or back. Tops should not be low cut, expose midriff or cleavage. Midriff and back must be covered at all times. Please make sure the tops are long enough to cover the waist area when sitting, bending forward and raising the hand. 26
