Secondary School Timetable 2011-2012 - American International ...

If the parent feels that the employee has breached professional conduct as an educator he/she may
file in writing an employee grievance concern with the employee’s direct supervisor. This should be
filed within 5 school days of the alleged infraction and an investigation and response from the
supervisor will be returned in writing within 10 school days upon receipt of the grievance concern.
A recommendation from the Principal or Director for long-term suspension or expulsion may be
appealed to the Board of Governors. The guideline for an appeal of an expulsion recommendation
follows:
1. Parent within five school days of Administrator’s action should place in writing a notice of
appeal to the Chairperson of the Board of Governors.
2. The Board will schedule a hearing with a quorum of Board of Governors members no later than
10 school days after the receipt of the notice of appeal.
3. The Board will hold an official hearing to hear the parental/student appeal of the administrative
recommendation for expulsion and to hear the administrative documentation supporting the
appeal.
4. The Board will meet in executive session and render a decision to:
a. Uphold the administrative recommendation or
b. Overturn the administrative recommendation
5. The Board will notify the parent in writing no more than 5 days after the hearing as to their
decision.
** It should be noted that the student would remain on indefinite out-of-school suspension status
until the appeal process has been completed.**
Extra-Curricular Activities
Extra-Curricular Activities
After-school activities are offered for our students by teachers and community members. Due to the
demands of our academic program, we recommend that students limit their participation in extracurricular
activities to a number that allow continued success in the academic program. Students
who join an extra-curricular activity are expected to have regular attendance and to participate fully
in the activity. Students with poor attendance or who demonstrate lack of commitment in an extracurricular
activity may not be allowed to join future extra-curricular activities. Students are
expected to follow the behavior expectations that apply to the school day when they participate in
extra-curricular activities. The sponsor of the extra-curricular activity has the final authority and the
right to ask a student not to continue attending if there are violations of behavior expectations. If a
student is absent from school during the day, s/he may not participate in any after-school activities
or athletics, including practices, games, tournaments, rehearsals, or productions.
Student Eligibility for Participation in Extra-Curricular
Activities
Student academic performance is reviewed at the mid-semester and end of semester and reports are
sent home. In order to participate in extra-curricular activities, a student must maintain a satisfactory
academic record. In addition, any time a student plans to participate in extracurricular activities
where a student will be absent from school for more than one day, student participation in such
activities is subject to review and requires approval by the Principal, in consultation with student’s
teachers.
The following criteria will make a student ineligible for extra-curricular activities
An “F” grade in any course, or
Two or more grades of “D” or below
