Missing Student Work 9 Students who miss school, for any reason, are expected to make up all missed work and tests upon their return. The teacher will determine if any additional time shall be allowed for making up missed work or tests, and the following conditions will apply: ● The student will be required to complete any work or tests no later than 2 weeks from the date of the student’s return to ISE. ● ● If future tests or assignments are planned, which will require the student to know information/skills taught during his/her absence, the student will be responsible to “catch up” on that information/skills on his/her own time. The teacher will provide the student with any necessary resource materials needed to complete his/her self-study. Certain activities and experiences happen in class, which cannot be duplicated for students who are absent. Therefore, in some cases, it may not be possible for a student who is absent for an extended period, to achieve maximum marks. High school students (MYP5-DP) have an end of semester assessment week. Students are expected to be present during this time. STUDENTS’ RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES The school recognizes the rights of individuals and promotes self-expression and freedom of thought and will. At the same time, school rules place certain limitations on the rights of an individual in order to protect the rights of others. Each student in the school has the right: ● to appeal decisions of teachers in a known, specific, and orderly way ● to participate, increasingly in the middle and higher grades, in developing and improving the rules and standards of pupil behavior in the school Students’ due Process Rights Students must be told what conduct is appropriate and what is forbidden. Therefore, the rules and regulations set by the Administration to govern student conduct shall be distributed to the students in the form of this Handbook, discussed during the first weeks of school in advisory/homeroom class, and revisited during the year as applicable. Student Complaints and Grievances If a student has any complaint or grievance about any aspect of the school, its pupils or its staff, he/she must first register that complaint with the class teacher. If the class teacher does not deal with the matter within a reasonable period of time and to the
satisfaction of the student, the matter will be referred to the Principal or the Director. If no redress is received from the Principal or Director within a reasonable period of time, the aggrieved student may appeal to the Board, in writing, as a last resort. Student Council ISE maintains an upper school Student Council. Students become members to the Council by volunteering or being elected for the purpose of acting as the students’ official voice in dealings with the school community and in particular with the Senior Leadership Team, the PTA and the Board. There is an adult advisor facilitating the Student Council activities. ISE Child Safeguarding Policy and Procedures ISE has a comprehensive policy to protect students from all forms of abuse. This document is given to each parent at the beginning of the year and is also on the website. Please refer any issues to this document and/or ask a member of the administration, a teacher or coordinator for more information. STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE ISE Discipline Policy At ISE our Mission Statement is about who we are and what we do. It governs all our policies and specifically directs that we must: ● Empower students to implement positive change in the face of future challenges. Our Core values similarly incorporate principles of Care, Compassion and Taking Action, whereby: 10 ● ● We believe that we have an obligation to listen thoughtfully to others, to consider their points of view and to treat them with kindness and empathy. We look beyond ourselves and seek to make genuine, positive changes in the world around us. It is therefore apparent that we cannot support a traditional disciplinary regime that seeks retribution as its foundation. Our fundamental precept lies in the management of change concerning student behaviour in order to foster attitudes aligned with our mission statement. We consider that Respect must underpin any successful policy. This requires the development of respect for oneself, for others and for the environment. It is a prerequisite student characteristic that is integral to the learning experience. We also believe that this quality will be demonstrated through Responsibility. Students must take responsibility for their actions and similarly be held responsible for these
