Imagine Prep’s VisionImagine Prep empowers each student to learn at the speed of his or her personal potential. Learning goalsare personalized to support student success. At Imagine Prep, a small learning environment ensures that each student is well known and that students enjoy a strong sense of family. Learning is project-based, enabling students to demonstrate mastery of knowledge. Our standards are higher, challenging students to achieve and succeed—in school and in life!

Imagine Prep’s MissionImagine Prep exists to partner with families to educate and inspire thoughtful, engaged students whograduate well-prepared for college, career, and citizenship.

Our emphasis on high expectations and a culture of personalization ensures that each student is well-known and fully engaged.

Imagines’ Learning CommunitiesImagine Schools, founded by Dennis and Eileen Bakke in 2003, is an organization that owns and operatesindependent and non-profit public charter schools. During the 2019-2020 academic year, over 35,000 students will be educated at more than 55 Imagine Schools in eight states and the District of Columbia. Our mission is to help parents and guardians educate their children by creating learning communities of achievement and hope. Imagine Schools is comprised of over 3,000 people, mostly teachers, dedicated to the goal of restoring vision and purpose to schools and returning parents and guardians to full participation in their children’s education.

Imagines’ Guiding PrinciplesSix principles guide the behavior of every person associated with Imagine Schools. We evaluate the performance of Imagine Schools and each affiliated school based on these six principles. Shared values of integrity, justice, and fun allow every teacher, student, and parent associated withImagine Schools to rally around common themes, which guide behavior.

Parent choice and satisfaction are the greatest indicators of the success of our educational program. Academic achievement balances excellence in reading and mathematics with instruction in science, social studies, and the arts, and is measured by student learning gains and proficiency. Positive character development in our schools is a major priority. We strive for growth in students’ character measured by discernible positive changes in behavior. Economic sustainability means that every school in the Imagine family is financially able to exist on its own. This is the best indicator of that school’s ability to educate children over time. New school development enhances our ability to reach more children, more families, and more communities. As we expand our family of schools, more opportunities abound for Imagine students.

Division of Responsibilities

Imagine Prep Superstition’s mission is to partner with families to create a cohesive educational

experience for their child. In order for this to happen, parents, students, and educators all have certain responsibilities.

school and community.

Imagine ParentsFor the school to be effective, it is essential that a spirit of cooperation, trust, and support exist between the school and the parent. It is for this reason that we ask the family to become familiar with the philosophy, policies, and procedures developed and enforced by Imagine Prep.

Parent InvolvementImagine Prep considers parent involvement an important element in the development of the Imagine community. Special organizations exist to enable parents to take an active part in our school.

Boosters is a is an organization made up of parents to donate time, money or both to support teachers, after school programs, sports and other activities. For more details, please contact the front office.

Parent ConferencesParents and families can set up individual conferences and can be scheduled on an as needed basis through the front office or by contacting the teacher.

Communication with the SchoolParents may contact teachers and school administrators through school voicemail or by email. Parentscan expect a return call within 24 hours (excluding holidays and weekends). If you do not receive aresponse back by the end of the following school day from the teacher, please contact schooladministration. Imagine Schools maintain an open door policy. Parents are required to sign in and out atthe office when they arrive at the school. Arrangements should be made directly with the classroomteacher prior to classroom visits. Informal conferences or conversations may be scheduled with teachersor school leaders throughout the year. Parents are welcome to contact teachers at any time throughout theschool year with questions or concerns. In resolving disputes that stem from activities in the classroom,parents should contact the teacher to discuss the matter. If that does not resolve the issue, please request ameeting with school administration through the front office or email. Due to the daily responsibilities ofan administrator, it is difficult to accommodate “drop-in” meetings by any parent/guardian. It is advised toschedule a meeting with the front office or request one through email.

SolicitationSolicitation, of or by any student, parent, staff member, or school visitor on school property for any causeexcept those authorized by the administration, is strictly prohibited.

School VisitorsTo ensure a safe and secure learning environment for your student, all visitors are required to sign in atthe school office, show identification, and wear a visitor’s guest pass. Faculty and staff have beeninstructed to immediately escort anyone not having a pass to the Office for identification.

Communication on Safety IssuesIf a safety issue arises on the school campus, the administration will determine the best way to provideinformation to parents. That might be through a letter sent home with students, a message recorded on theschool’s telephone system, a blast on the Panther app and/or through Facebook. Events that are practicedthroughout the year include fire drills, lockdown drills, and bus evacuation drills. If any of these eventsactually occur, the administration would contact parents and guardians via our phone blast system and/oremail. The school will have at least one fire drill per month during school hours. Lockdown drills will beheld quarterly. Specific signals and procedures have been established for all types of disaster drills andsafety areas have been designated. Teachers are equipped with instructions and all drills will be practicedwith students on a regular basis. If a parent is on school grounds during a practice event, the parent is alsoexpected to participate in the drill. If a parent should arrive during a practice event, they will not bepermitted on school grounds until the drill is complete.

Child Custody RecordsIn cases where custody/visitation affects the district, the school will follow the most recent court order onfile with the district. It is the responsibility of the custodial parent, or of parents having joint custody, toprovide the district with the most recent court order. We are required by law to follow the most currentcourt documents in our files.

Child Abuse Reporting

Arizona State Statue (A.R.S 13-3620) requires school employees to report reasonably suspected cases ofneglect, non-accidental injury or sexual offenses against children to Child Protective Services or local lawenforcement agencies. State law from civil or criminal liability protects people who are required to reportreasonably suspected abuse. Each school site has a child abuse team for processing suspected cases ofchild abuse. Reports of child abuse are confidential records.

Title IX: Sexual Harassment and DiscriminationTitle IX of the Education Amendments of 1972(20 U.S.C. §§1681 et seq.) prohibits sex discrimination ineducation and in employment. “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excludedfrom participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educationprogram or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” If a student would like to report a claim, theymay use the form under “Title IX” on our website. The complaint is filed to the regional director and willbe investigated.

Law Enforcement/Child Protective ServicesSchool officials are not required to initiate or complete due process procedures prior to notifying lawenforcement officers. If law enforcement officers are notified, parents will be contacted by telephone orcertified letter. Any action taken by law enforcement officers will be separate from disciplinary actiontaken by the school district.

Interviews by Child Protective Services workers and law enforcement officers may be conducted atImagine Schools. Except under certain circumstances related to child abuse allegations, the schooladministrator will make a reasonable effort to notify the student’s parent of the interview.If a student isarrested or taken into temporary custody on district property during the school day, the school no longerhas jurisdiction over the student. The school will make a reasonable effort to notify the parent when anarrest is made or a student is taken into temporary custody, unless it is lawfully directed not to make suchcontact.

Medicine at SchoolThe office will not administer medicines and prescription drugs unless given permission and instructionsby the parent/guardian of the student. If the student is required to take prescription medicine at school,please provide written instructions and the medicine in its original container to the office. Anymedications not picked up at the end of the school year will be disposed of.

All medications (except prescribed inhalers and Epi-pens) will be secured in the office and administeredby designated school personnel. Students may not carry any medication, or keep medicine in their vehicleor backpack, with the exception of cough drops and antacids. Inhalers and/or an Epi-pen can be carried(with a completed Parent/Physician Request for Medication form). Students may not sharemedications with other students. Parents must notify the school of any medication (over-the-counter orprescribed) to be taken by a student. All medications supplied from home on a temporary or long termbasis must be sent to school in the original container or it may not be administered by any staff. If it is notin the original container the parent or legal guardian will need to come to school and administer themedication if absolutely necessary for the health of the student.

A Parent/Physician Request for Medication form must be completed by the parent and prescribingphysician and kept on file in the office for the duration of treatment. A new form must be completed eachschool year, if necessary. All student medications brought to school must be picked up at the end of theschool year or they will be discarded.

Illness and Accidents at SchoolParents/guardians will be notified if your student becomes ill enough to be sent home from school,

sustains more than a minor injury, or has an emergency. It is the parent’s responsibility to makearrangements to pick up an ill or injured child as promptly as possible.

A staff member will administer initial treatments for minor injuries. The student’s emergency contact willbe notified by phone whenever medical treatment is administered to a student. In such cases, it isespecially crucial that the school has working telephone numbers for students’ parents andalternate contacts in the event the parent is not available. In the event of an emergency, the studentwill be transported to the nearest hospital. The school offers information regarding the purchase ofstudent accident insurance. The school is not responsible for reimbursement of medical expenses.

Compliance with Required InsuranceFor the protection of the student and his/her family, we strongly suggest that some type of accidentinsurance cover every student. SCHOOL-TIME, 24-HOUR A DAY, and an accidental DENTAL PLAN,are available through the school. Accident insurance is intended to be a secondary coverage only.

Middle School Retention PolicyGrade retention is the practice of requiring a student to repeat a particular grade. It is recognized that notall students learn at the same rate, or through the same modality. Therefore, the school is committed toproviding each student with developmentally appropriate curriculum and instruction, which allows thestudent to progress toward mastery of a defined set of grade level standards, concepts, skills andoutcomes.

There are instances where student retention may be necessary to provide pupil with additional time tomaster objectives and competencies required for success in the next higher grade. Teachers andadministrators have an obligation to carefully weigh the possible advantages and negative consequencesof retention, and to provide timely intervention in an effort to prevent retention of students who have thepotential to overcome academic deficits in selected areas without repeating the entire year of study.

If a student fails two or more core classes in the first semester, or i f the teacher thinks your student willbenefit by staying in his or her current grade, parents will be involved in meetings with the RetentionTeam. This includes teachers, administrators, and other staff members involved with the student’seducation. If parents choose not to accept the teacher’s decision, parents may request in writing that theGoverning Board review the decision.

Approval of the principal is required in writing for the retention of students. Parents/guardians mustapprove the retention and program in writing. The teaching team will develop a curriculum plan for the

following school year.

Arizona Residency Guidelines

Arizona Department of Education REVISED 8/15/2012

Generally, under Arizona law, only Arizona residents are entitled to a free public education. The ArizonaDepartment of Education (“Department”) is a designated steward of state education tax dollars and isresponsible for providing state aid to school districts and charter schools for students who reside inArizona. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-823(J), a school district or charter school may not include non-residentpupils in their student count and may not obtain state aid for those pupils.

The residency of a student is determined by the residency of the parent or guardian with whom thestudent lives. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the school districts and charter schools that receivestate aid to ensure that their student/parent residency information is accurate and verifiable.

The Department of Education may audit schools to ensure that only Arizona resident students are reportedfor state aid. Any school district or charter school that cannot demonstrate the accuracy of any student’sresidency status may be required to repay the state aid received for that student.

Student Placement and Class SelectionUpon enrollment in the high school, each student may be asked to take a pretest in reading and math. Thebenchmark assessment and the student’s most recent transcript will be evaluated to determine credits andcourses that are still needed for graduation.

Confidentiality and Child FindANNUAL NOTIFICATION TO PARENTS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENTEDUCATION RECORDS The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy ofstudent education records. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their student's educationrecords. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a schoolbeyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintainedby the school within 45 days of a request made to the school administrator. Schools are not required toprovide copies of records unless it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the recordswithout copies. Schools may charge a fee for copies. Parents or eligible students have the right to request

in writing that a school correct records that they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the schooldecides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing.After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has theright to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information. Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release anyinformation from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records,without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions:

1. School officials with legitimate educational interest

A school official is a person employed or contracted by the school to serve as an administrator,supervisor, teacher, or support staff member (including health staff, law enforcement personnel,attorney, auditor, or other similar roles); a person serving on the school board; or a parent or studentserving on an official committee or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks;

A legitimate educational interest means the review of records is necessary to fulfill a professionalresponsibility for the school:

1. Other schools to which a student is seeking to enroll;2. Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;3. Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;4. Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;5. Accrediting organizations;6. To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;7. Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and8. State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state law.

Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address,telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, sports participation (including height andweight of athletes) and dates of attendance unless notified by the parents or eligible student that theschool is not to disclose the information without consent. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that protects the rights ofstudents with disabilities. In addition to standard school records, for students with disabilities educationrecords could include evaluation and testing materials, medical and health information, IndividualizedEducation Programs and related notices and consents, progress reports, materials related to disciplinaryactions, and mediation agreements. Such information is gathered from a number of sources, including thestudent's parents and staff of the school of attendance. Also, with parental permission, information may begathered from additional pertinent sources, such as doctors and other health care providers. Thisinformation is collected to assure the student is identified, evaluated, and provided a Free AppropriatePublic Education in accordance with state and federal special education laws. Each agency participatingunder Part B of IDEA must ensure that at all stages of gathering, storing, retaining, and disclosingeducation records to third parties that it complies with the federal confidentiality laws. In addition, thedestruction of any education records of a student with a disability must be in accordance with IDEAregulatory requirements. Child Find Information Imagine Prep actively seeks students, grades 6-12 and up to age 21, that maybenefit from special education services. We use this notice as one means of annually informing ourdistrict staff, the public, and all parents/guardians within the district’s boundaries of our responsibility tomake a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) available to all middle and high school age studentswith disabilities.

In order to provide FAPE:

· Screening for possible disabilities will be completed within 45 calendar days after notification tothe responsible public agency by the parents/guardians of the student, or after any student enrollsin our school without appropriate records of screening, evaluation, and progress in school. TheChild Study Team (CST) will look at the student’s ability in the areas of academics, vision,hearing, adaptive living, communication, social/emotional and motor skills.

· For students who have not been involved in special education services previously, this CST maythen suggest modifications and accommodations to be implemented in the general educationsetting for a period of time. The CST will reconvene after these pre-referral interventions havebeen in use to determine their effectiveness.

· If, after consultation with the parents/guardians, the responsible public agency determines that afull and individual evaluation is warranted, the public agency will provide required notices to theparents/guardians within 60 calendar days.

· An initial, comprehensive evaluation of a student being considered for special education will becompleted, at no cost to the parents /guardians, as soon as possible, but time may not exceed 60calendar days from receipt of informed written parents/guardians consent.

· In the case of a student who is identified with a special education need, a reevaluation of thatneed is conducted every 3 years, or more frequently if requested by the student’sparents/guardians or teacher. The re-evaluation process need not include formal assessments.

· Some students who are not eligible for special education services may be eligible for supportunder Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. If eligible, District staff and theparents/guardians may develop a written plan to assist the student.

If you have knowledge of a student, age 11 through 21 years of age - including those attending privateschools and home schools - who may require special education services, please call the school.

Parents Right To KnowThe No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 [Section 111 (h) (6)] gives parents the right to requestand, in a timely/understandable format, receive their student’s assessment data and the qualifications fortheir student’s classroom teachers.

Student Attendance PolicyThe right and privilege of attending public school carries with it certain responsibilities on the part ofparents and students. School attendance is ultimately the responsibility of the student and his/her family.Arizona truancy laws will be enforced. It is important that parents and students recognize the directrelationship that exists between academic success and regular school attendance. Students should remainout of school only when absolutely necessary. Much classroom activity cannot be replicated; classdiscussion and participation is lost forever to those who are absent. Parents may view their student’sattendance and tardies on PowerSchool.

Imagine Prep’s high school program works on a semester basis. During the regular school year, we offerfour quarters as reflected on the school calendar. During each semester, the student is enrolled in sixcourses. Each course meets four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) for 60 minutes, andfor 45 minutes on Wednesdays. At the end of each semester, earned credits for core and elective coursesare applied to the transcript.

In order to receive credit for a course, the student must attend class and complete all work required at a level that is acceptable by the teacher. The schedule for make-up work is outlined in each class syllabus and is determined by the discretion of the teacher.

Attendance is mandatory. During a 90 day semester, a student can accumulate no more than 9 absences.Once a student exceeds 9 absences in a class during a 90 day period, no credit will be issued. If a studentmisses more than ten consecutive, unexcused days of classes, then he/she is withdrawn from school andmust re-enroll in Imagine Prep.

If an illness or emergency occurs that keeps the student from attending school, the parent or guardianmust contact the school and explain the reason for missing classes and provide any correspondingdocumentation within 24 hours. When the student returns, he/she is responsible for completing all workand time missed according to teacher’s syllabus. In the event of a hospitalization or doctor’s appointment,Imagine Prep requires an original signed note from the healthcare provider.

If an extended absence should occur, the student must arrange a meeting with administration to discussthe coursework and class time missed prior to returning to school.

If it is necessary for a student to be dismissed from school before the end of the day, the parent mustreport to the office to request the dismissal of their student. Only adults who are listed on the school’srecords as being authorized will be allowed to take students from the school. Each student must be signedout by the parent/guardian.

Students should not be signed out early during the last week of a semester or during state testing.This is the time when final exams and projects are distributed and completed. Statistically shown studentsperform lower on State Assessments when taken on makeup days. Missing class or leaving early canjeopardize a student’s ability to receive a passing grade in a course.

Reporting Student AttendanceState law requires that a parent or guardian authorize your student’s absence and notify the school at thetime or in advance of the absence. Please contact your school office to report any absence issues. If theschool does not hear from you a call will be placed home. If there is no answer the absence will bedeemed unexcused. You will have 24 hours from the time your student returns to school to providedocumentation as to the reason for the absence; such as a doctor’s note, medical release, hospitaldischarge, etc. If the school office does not receive proper documentation within 24 hours, your student’sabsence will remain unexcused. We encourage you to bring any documentation to the office and to notsend notices of absence to your student’s teachers. By following this process, record of attendance willremain accurate and timely.

Tardy PolicyBeing late to school is a disruption to the learning environment for both the teacher and the students. Italso puts the student who is tardy at a disadvantage because they will miss valuable learningopportunities. Three tardies will result in an absence. Administration reserves the right to practicejustice for extenuating circumstances. Students arriving after the start of class must sign in and will not bepermitted to class without a late pass from the office.

Student Code of Conduct

In School Suspension ExpectationsAs a school, the expectation for ISS entails continued learning for the student with work provided by allteachers, for the student to complete while in ISS. This can include computer work, as well as paper andpencil. Listed below are the expectations for the student to follow during ISS. If a student is unsuccessfulin meeting the below expectations, he/she will automatically be moved to level 3 and receive an out ofschool suspension (OSS) by an administrator (Lamma, Valencia, or Reed) Also, multiple ISS visits (3 ormore) to the Student Center can accelerate the student to a Level 3 OSS per academic quarter.When astudent is assigned ISS, he/she should come to school in their proper uniform bottoms, shirts and shoes.

● Cell phones/all personal electronic devices will be placed in a bin● The student will remain in the Student Center and is to complete all assigned work.● The student will have minimal interactions with anyone, except for the Dean/staff members when

deemed necessary.● Students in ISS will remain in Student Center during lunch and breaks.

On-going issues or any concerning issue with the student will result in a Student Success Meeting withthe Dean, teacher(s), student, and parent/guardian.

Level 3 OffensesThese offenses are handled by the administration. An electronic paper trail is created with a discipline form by the teacher/and or staff member, describing the incident that occurred that earned a level 3 offense. Parent contact will be made by one of the administrators.

Level 3 offenses will result in a multi-day suspension beginning in increments of 1 day, 3 days, 5days and 10 days, depending on the infraction. If a student is suspended for 10 days, it may resultin a recommendation to our School Board for possible expulsion.

Fighting at SchoolFighting is never permitted at Imagine Prep Superstition. All students involved will automatically receive an OSS. If a student feels threatened to the point that he/she has to defend him or herself, the student should immediately report it to a teacher, staff member, or administrator. Otherwise, the student takes the risk of being suspended from school. Once a child receives an Out-of-school suspension (OSS) and a parent/guardian is contacted, an authorized individual must pick the student up within a 1 hour timeframe. After an hour, additional steps will be taken to ensure the student is picked up.

Zero tolerance behaviors will result in a mandatory 10 day suspension, pending Board decision ofpossible expulsion. Searches

Administration need not obtain a warrant before searching a student who is under their authority. Underordinary circumstances, a search of a student by a teacher or school official is justified at its inceptionwhen there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the search will turn up evidence that the student hasviolated or is violating either the law or the rules and policies of the school. Such a search will bepermissible in its scope when the measures adopted are reasonably related to the objectives of the searchand not excessively intrusive in light of the age and gender of the student and the nature of the infraction.

School PropertyImagine Schools is the owner of and has control over all school property, which are provided as aconvenience to students. School officials may inspect school property for cleanliness and order withoutnotice and without consent, whenever reasonable suspicion exists that the student has violated a schoolrule and/or the law, or that the health, safety or welfare of students or staff may be in danger.

Additionally, students who deface or damage any school property may be suspended or expelled fromschool. Under Arizona law, parents are liable for damage done to school property by their children.

Detention PolicyIn the event a student is assigned detention for any reason, it shall be served on the day(s) designated bythe teacher who assigned it. Detention is not assigned to be served at a student’s convenience.

Community Service PolicyImagine Prep can choose to assign community service to a student in lieu of a suspension or otherdisciplinary actions. Community service will be conducted on campus and can include but is not limitedto: sweeping, garbage pick-up, pulling weeds or other gardening activities as needed, emptying recyclingbins, etc. However, if the student does not complete the assigned community service by the required date,that student may be suspended.

Academic Expectations and Policies

Uninterrupted Instructional TimeWe believe in providing the student the gift of uninterrupted learning time. During class time ImaginePrep requires the student to concentrate on academics and not be distracted. When you have messages,materials, lunch money, etc., for a student, please bring them to the school office and school personnelwill deliver these to the student. Please schedule any appointments outside of the instructional day.

TutoringStudents whose grades fall below a “C” level are expected to stay for tutoring at the convenience of theteacher. This policy applies to all core and elective courses offered at Imagine Prep. Teachers will placethe students who are deficient on a Tutoring Contract and contact their families. The students will berequired to complete tutorials with their teacher until their grade is back to the “C” level. Transportationfor after-school tutoring is the responsibility of the parent. Lunch tutoring should not be a firstchoice as there are two different lunch periods and is at the discretion of the teacher.

HomeworkHomework is assigned to aid each student in time management, personal responsibility, strengthening ofbasic skills, practicing of skills for concepts taught in class, developing initiative, and fostering

independent learning. Homework will also keep parents involved in their student’s daily work, academicprogress and the curriculum at Imagine Prep. Daily homework will be assigned for each class inaccordance with the following guidelines:

Grade Level Minutes per Class6th grade 20 minutes

7th grade 20 minutes

8th grade 25 minutes

Freshman courses 25 minutes

Sophomore courses 30 minutes

Junior courses 30 minutes

Senior courses 30 minutes

AP courses 60 minutes

Late WorkStudents are required to complete all homework assignments. Students that do not complete allhomework assignments will be disciplined on the guidelines set forth by the teacher’s syllabus.. If a classuses an online textbook, it is the student’s responsibility to access the textbook. Please discussaccommodations with your teacher if you have questions.

Absent PolicyStudents have an equal amount of day(s) to make up any missed work for their own number of excusedabsences. For instance, if a student misses one day of school, they have one day to make up those missedassignments. Imagine Prep reserves the right to use justice in extenuating circumstances, includingprojects or multi-day assignments.

Grading ScaleThe following grading scale has been established:

90 - 100 = A80 - 89 = B70 - 79 = C60 - 69 = D00 - 59 = F

Progress ReportsThe primary function of a progress report is to communicate information to parents/guardians about theirstudent’s current achievement status in regard to specific learning objectives in each curriculum area.Each student’s progress is reported to parents/guardians two times a year by sending home the report withtheir student. These dates can be found on the school calendar. It is the belief of Imagine Prep that anopen line of communication between home and school should be maintained at all times to increase thelikelihood of student growth and success. Parents may request a conference or email a teacher at anytime. Feel free to contact your student’s teachers if you would like a progress report sent home morefrequently. Powerschool is updated weekly, so families can also check grades via PowerSchool.

Grade ReportsIn an attempt to become a paperless school, we will not be sending home grade reports. Grade reports canbe found on powerschool at the conclusion of the grading window. This grade report will reflect the grade

earned for the courses your student is enrolled in. Copies of report cards can be requested at the frontoffice. However, we strongly encourage that you are tracking your students grades on powerschool on aregular basis. Students and family members have the right to question grades and grading procedures.The student should first consult with his or her teacher and attempt to resolve the matter. If a resolution isnot made, the student should address the matter with administration. Issuance of grades and gradingprocedures are local school matters, and every attempt to remedy the situation at the school level shouldbe made.

Google ClassroomParents and students have the capability of viewing their teacher agendas and classwork through GoogleClassroom. If your student is absent from class this should be the first resource used to catch up forthe next school day.

PowerschoolPowerschool is our student learning management system. Grades, attendance, and tardies can be viewedby parents and students at any time. Students grades are updated weekly. Powerschool login informationcan be obtained in the front office for both parent and student logins.

Academic CreditsStudents must earn an A, B, or C to get passing academic credit in a core class. Any student who earns a“D” in a core academic course will receive elective credit for the course. The student must then retakethe class to earn core credit. Any student who earns an “F” in a academic course will not earn credit forthat class. The class must be retaken for credit.

Extracurricular Activities Imagine Prep encourages students to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, but not at theexpense of academics. Participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege that requires students to bepassing all courses, or at teacher discretion, in order to participate in activities. Extracurricular activitiesinclude field trips, clubs, intramural sports, etc.

Field TripsField trips are a privilege for students that demonstrate expected behaviors and academic achievement.As such, students with excessive referrals or any suspensions as well as students that fail to meetacademic expectations will not be allowed to participate in field trips. Multiple missing assignments canalso result in a student not being allowed to attend. Students not passing all of their classes will NOT beallowed to attend the field trip unless the teacher of the failing class has given them permission.

Academic Probation PolicyImagine Prep strives to create a strong foundation for its learners by challenging their aptitude anddeveloping their character. We believe that both components must be developed for a student to becomesuccessful in college, a career and life. All students of Imagine Prep are required to meet certain academicstandards. It is our hope that Imagine Prep graduates will model high standards and become positive contributorswithin their own communities. Imagine Prep is open to all types of learners and we recognize that not allstudents learn at the same pace and in the same manner. We do believe that students placed in a structuredenvironment with high standards, a system of accountability and parental support will succeed regardlessof their background.

In order to uphold the ideals of the school, student academic achievement is closely monitored. Regulations regarding academic probation, suspension, and withdrawal are designed to provide close

supervision of the student's progress and their program of study. The minimum satisfactory standard of achievement is a grade point average of 2.00. Failure to meet standards may result in students placed on academic probation or suspension.

If a student is placed on Academic Probation, the student will be monitored and evaluated when bothprogress reports and grade reports are distributed. Failure to meet the academic standards of Imagine Prepand failure to meet all of the requirements of academic probation established in one quarter, constitutesnoncompliance of the academic policies of Imagine Prep which may result in expulsion from the schoolpursuant to A.R.S 15-843. A student who is on academic probation for two or more quarters within anacademic school year may be considered for expulsion from Imagine Prep for noncompliance of theacademic policies of Imagine Prep.

Issuance of academic probation/academic contracts:Students are placed on academic probation for the following reasons:a. Student has two “D’s” or a failing grade of "F" in one or more subjects for any quarter.b. Student is exhibiting a serious deterioration in academic performance as evidenced by falling grades,failure to complete homework assignments, negligence in seeking extra help, or a general indifferentattitude toward academics.

Consequences of academic probation:Students on probation are required to participate in all of the following as part of his/her probation: a. Increased levels of intervention and accommodation from school staff.b. Higher learning levels of accountability at school and at home.c. Removal from extracurricular activities.d. Required remediation (before and after school) as determined by school administration and faculty.

Removal from academic probation:The student is removed from academic probation when he or she is making satisfactory progress at theend of a probationary marking period. Removal from academic probation requires the following:

a. Student has a passing grade of “C” or better in all subjects for any quarter, or only one D.b. Student has demonstrated improvement in academic performance as evidenced by passing grades,

completing homework assignments, seeking extra help, displaying a positive attitude towards academics. The student must submit a proposal with documentation to appeal to lift academicprobation to administration. If the proposal is approved by administration, then a panel of teachers will beassembled to determine if the students’ academic probation will be lifted.

Assessment of LearningIn order to ensure that Imagine Prep students are being challenged academically, their performance inreading, writing, mathematics, and science is assessed continuously using a variety of measures. Inaddition, the State of Arizona requires the following tests: • AIMS Science (8th Grade and Biology Students)• AzMerit (English and Math)• Civics Test (Required for graduation)

Additionally, teachers utilize Galileo and STAR tests to analyze students’ progress through benchmarksduring the school year.

These tests are essential for measuring the success of the students’ growth, progress, and achievementduring the school year. Therefore, it is expected that students give their utmost effort onstandardized tests and its preparation. It is essential that all students are present on testing days.

AzMERIT TestsAzMERIT is Arizona’s statewide achievement assessment in English Language Arts and Mathematics.All students completing a full credit in ELA and Math in grades 6-8, as well as English 9, 10, 11, AlgebraI, Geometry, and Algebra II.

AIMS ScienceAIMS Science is Arizona’s statewide achievement assessment in Science. All 8th grade students take the AIMS Science Test. Any student enrolled in biology or is a sophomore (and has not previously completedthe test) will take AIMS Science for high school. Arizona law no longer requires the passage of the AIMS assessment as part of the graduation requirement.

Grade Enhancement PolicyTo further incentivize our students, Imagine Prep will implement a grade enhancement policy withAzMerit and AIMS Science. If a student earns a “Proficient” score on AzMerit or “Meets the Standard”onAIMS Science, the registrar will boost their Semester 2 final grade 10 percentage points, up to a 89% or Bin their respective class. If a student earns a “Highly Proficient” score on AzMerit or “Exceeds theStandard” on AIMS Science, the registrar will boost their Semester 2 final grade 10 percentage points, upto a 99% or A in their respective class.

Imagine Prep CurriculumImagine Prep has designed a student curriculum that is based on the Arizona College and CareerReadiness Standards. Objectives are taught using a variety of learning activities and addressing multiplelearning modalities. Reading, writing, and technology skills are integrated throughout the curriculum andare an integral part of all content area classes.

Student FeesSome classes, such as science, fine arts, robotics, and engineering have a school fee associated with themfor the year. All class fees can be paid online at the Imagine website (www.imagineprep.com). Fees forindividual classes can be found in the class syllabus.

Special EducationThe Individuals With Disabilities Education Act Amendment of 1997 (IDEA) is a federal specialeducation law that requires school districts, charter schools and other public education agencies (hereafterreferred to as the “school”) to provide a free, appropriate public education to eligible children withdisabilities.

This free, appropriate public education refers to special education and related services, described in anIndividualized Education Program and provided to the child in the least restrictive environment.

Children with disabilities and their parents are guaranteed certain educational rights, known as proceduralsafeguards, from birth through age 21. IDEA and its implementing regulations also provide methods tohelp you assure that your input is considered. If your child is having difficulty in school, please checkwith the teacher to determine what interventions have been tried to help your child succeed. If theinterventions are unsuccessful, a referral for special education evaluation may be necessary. You maycontact the school administrator if you wish to make a referral personally.

If special education disabilities are suspected, we are required to evaluate your child to identify anddocument whether your child has any disabilities that affect his or her learning and, if so, to determinewhat special education and related services are required. The evaluation will be done only after we haveexplained what we plan to do during the evaluation. We will use tests and procedures selectedspecifically for your child. The evaluation will not include basic tests or procedures used routinely for allstudents within a class, grade or school. This evaluation will be conducted according to federal and staterequirements and will include information you provide. Following the evaluation, we will provide youthe complete results within 60 calendar days of your written consent.

Parents have the right to inspect and review all education records, and are entitled to all other rightsguaranteed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Imagine Prep's  athletic  program's  primary  purpose  is   to   support   the  academic program. Theathletic program works cooperatively with other activities and programs to produce productivemembers in this community. Imagine Prep athletics will provide the student athlete with the opportunity to develop athletictalents and achieve the highest possible level of competitiveness without sacrificing the time andenergies   needed   to   excel   academically   and   within   a   setting   that   allows   for   characterdevelopment.  We understand  that  our  athletes  and even our  coaches  occasionally  will   learnlessons through mistakes. We attempt to compete with good sportsmanship. This means doingour best and bringing sportsmanship to   interscholastic athletics  that  would model  exemplarycharacteristics. 

 IMAGINE PREP SPECTATOR GUIDELINES 

The Imagine Prep administration and supervisory staff will enforce the following guidelines at all athletic events. We ask for your cooperation in enforcing the following rules: 1)      There will be cooperation with referees and school officials.2)      There will be no objectionable cheers, unsafe, or unsportsmanlike behavior.3)      Smoking, drugs and alcoholic beverages are not allowed on school grounds and         other facilities provided by Imagine Prep Athletics.4)      Please report any emergency to the Scorer's table or one of the Imagine Prep Supervisors.5)      Direct all energies to encouraging your team.6)      Avoid actions which offend visiting teams or individual players.7)      Show appreciation of good play by both teams.8)      Learn the rules of the game in order to be a more informed spectator.9)      Accept the judgment of coaches and officials.10)    Spectators must remain in the stands at all times unless they have been issued a field or court pass by the Head Coach or Director of Athletics.11)    Respect home and away facilities by keeping them clean and following any posted or published rules.12)  It is Athletic Department policy that all practices are closed to team and coaches only. It is the best way to get the most out of practice. Anybody else in the gym besides team and coaches can be a distraction.  

Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated, and anyone failing to cooperate with these guidelines will be required to leave the premises. Students may be suspended for the school year from being a spectator at all events if administration deems their behavior warrants such action. 

STUDENT ATHLETES CODE OF BEHAVIOR1)      To demonstrate self­control and respect for others (including administration,   teachers,coaches, officials, spectators or other athletes) at all times.2)      To remember that participation in athletics is a privilege that is not to be abused by         

unsportsmanlike conduct.3)      To deal with opponents with respect. Shake hands after the competition and congratulate them on their performance.4)      To respect the integrity and judgment of the officials.5)      To remember that   improper  behavior  while   in  uniform reflects  poorly upon yourself,team, school and your community.6)      To refrain from use/possession of drugs, tobacco and alcohol.7)      To refrain from obscene act, profanity, vulgarity.   A   school   administrator   may   suspend   student   athletes   from   athletic   participation   forviolations of team or school disciplinary codes. An athlete serving detention after schoolwill complete that detention before reporting to practice or a game. 

STUDENT ATHLETE ELIGIBILITY 1)      All new athletes enrolled must have their backgrounds checked immediately to ensureeligibility is in compliance with the Athletic Conference(s).2)      An athlete shall not reach the age of 19 before September 1st of senior year.3)      Student/athletes must maintain grades that meet minimum school standards;"C" or better in all classes allows 100% participation.“D”   –   student   must   attend   all   required   tutoring   classes,   and   submit   an   acceptable   weeklyprogress report signed by teacher to be eligible to play. It is the teacher’s discretion to sign offfor the week. “F” or 2 “D”s – no participation until grades meet minimum standards. Grade checks will occurweekly throughout the season to assess your students eligibility.4)      Students must provide proof of a passed physical examination prior to participating.      5)      Participation fees must be paid.6)      Emergency Contact Information must be submitted.7)      Parent Consent form must be submitted.8)      Transportation form to be submitted.

THE STUDENT ATHLETE'S COMMITMENT 

1)      Attendance at all practices, assigned workshops, meetings, and games is required unless   otherwise stated by the coach. Special circumstances "release time" should be truly special and communicated by the athlete and parent to the coach at least 48 hours in advance.2)      Quitting is contrary to the Imagine Prep athletic philosophy. We believe the athlete who has been selected to a team has made a commitment to the school, teammates, and coaches. An athlete quitting a team after the tryout period will be prohibited from all new extra­curricular activities for the rest of the school year. The athlete is expected to fulfill his/her commitment. Failure to comply will result in appropriate coach imposed discipline, as well as the athlete becoming ineligible for postseason recognition and awards.  

IMAGINE PREP CUT PROCEDURES It is an unfortunate fact that in certain situations athletes must be cut from a team. It would be

ideal to keep everyone who tries out and guarantee them playing time, but in some sports that isimpossible. The decision to cut an athlete is a difficult one and not taken lightly by any coach.The criteria the coaching staff will utilize are: attitude, attendance at tryouts, skill level, overall

strength and conditioning, working with team and coaches in and out season programs, and othersport specific categories established by a particular head coach.

 PLAYING TIME PROCEDURES

An often controversial issue in athletics is the amount of time each athlete is allowed to participate. Not all athletes possess the same skills, desire, and potential for success. Many factors determine the amount of playing time that an athlete gets during games. Some factors include (but are not limited to):1)      Attitude as demonstrated during practice.2)      Practice attendance.3)      Hustle during practice.4)      Understanding of concepts, rules and strategies as demonstrated in practice.5)      Executing skills as demonstrated in practice.6)      Physical condition.7)      The quality of other players at that position.

8)      The athlete's ability to contribute to team success.9)      The score of the game and time remaining.10)    Participation in summer strength and conditioning program.11)    Program level (varsity, junior varsity, junior high)

 GAME DAY DRESS REQUIREMENTSThe coach shall determine which team jersey or fundraised gear along with school dress code bottoms will be worn on each game day. Coaches can elect for their athletes to dress up. Dress up attire will be discussed with your coach.                 

COMMUNICATION CONCERNS(Chain of Command for Parents)

 The following is the due process procedures used by the Director of Athletics for handlingsituations and/or concerns that may occur before, during, or after a sports season: (Remember toallow 24 hours after a game before approaching the coach; this gives both parties time to think

"situations" through prior to commenting.) 1)      The athlete asks his/her coach questions and discusses concerns.2)      If the athlete is not satisfied with the answer/outcome after discussing his/her concerns with the coach, the parent/guardian must then call the coach and arrange a meeting to clarify the situation and resolve the issue.3)      If the parent/guardian and athlete still do not feel that the situation has been resolved and wish to pursue it further, they then call the Director of Athletics for a joint meeting with the coach, parent, and athlete.4)      If after all of these avenues have been exhausted, and the parent/guardian and athlete still feel the issue is unresolved, a meeting will be arranged with School Administration along with the Director of Athletics. The outcome of this meeting will be final and all parties involved will be expected to adhere to the parameters outlined in the meeting. 

PARENT/COACH MEETING  (Agenda) A Parent/Guardian meeting with the Coach and/or Athletic Director may be scheduled 

by request to discuss any of the following:

1)      Athletic Eligibility Rules and Procedures.2)      Team Rules, Goals, Playing Time.3)      Expectations of Players.4)      Team Practice/Game Schedules/Web Site Information.5)      Parent/Guardian Role and Follow Sportsmanship Contract.

TRANSPORTATION POLICY  

The school will make every effort to provide safe team transportation to all away games. 1)      When team transportation is provided, the athlete is required to ride to and from the gamewith the team. We believe that team travel is a vital part of the overall sports experience and is conducive to team unity.2)      Student athletes are to comply with all school travel ­ safety policies including wearing ofseat belts (if available). School buses and rented transportation should be treated with respect andkept clean.3)      When school or rental vehicles are not available, parents will commonly be sought as

Coaches to wait for students to be picked up. Pick up arrangements need to be made prior to games.
