Daily Operations

School begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:33. Students may be dropped off at the main office beginning at 8:00 am. Students should remain in the front office until 8:00 am. Students should be picked up by 3:35.

General Regulations1. Students must report directly to their classroom when arriving on campus.2. Students are not allowed to sell or distribute items of any kind without the approval from Administration.3. Students may not leave the school grounds during the day without the permission from Administration.4. Students will not be permitted to get another student out of class.5. Students may not bring any food or drink into the classroom.

Grading SystemThe numerical breaks for corresponding letter grade are: A = 93-100 B = 85-92 C = 77-84 D = 70-76 F = 0-69

Attendance Policy JH-RThe board believes that attendance is a key factor in student achievement. Any absence from school represents an educational loss to the student. However, the board recognizes that some absences are unavoidable.

In order to receive credit for a high school course, a student must attend at least 85 days (for a 90-day semester course) or 170 days (for a 180-day year course). The board may grant approval of excessive absences in accordance with board policy.

The district will utilize a written intervention plan for improving student attendance. The purpose of the plan will be to link students with attendance problems and their families to all appropriate school and community resources.

The board recognizes that truancy is primarily an educational issue and will take all reasonable, educationally sound and corrective actions prior to resorting to the juvenile justice system.

Any student who misses school must present a written excuse, signed by his/her parent/legal guardian. A valid excuse should include the student’s name, the date(s) of the absence(s), the reason(s) for the absence(s), a parent/legal guardian signature, and a telephone number where the parent/legal guardian can be reached. The excuse will contain such other information as directed by the administration. The school administration will keep all excuses confidential.

If a student fails to bring a valid excuse to school, he/she will automatically receive an unexcused absence. If a student brings a false (or forged) excuse, the teacher will refer the student to the school administration for appropriate action.

The district will consider students lawfully absent under the following circumstances.

· They are ill and their attendance in school would endanger their health or the health of others.· There is a death or serious illness in their immediate family.· There is a recognized religious holiday of their faith.· There is a doctor or dentist appointment and a statement of doctor’s care verified in writing by the doctor or dentist upon the student’s return to school.· Prearranged absences for other reasons and/or extreme hardships at the discretion of the principal.· A child in foster care must be absent due to a certified court appearance or related court ordered activity including, but not limited to, court ordered treatment services.

The district will consider students unlawfully absent under the following circumstances.

· They are willfully absent from school without the knowledge of their parent/legal guardian.

· They are absent without acceptable cause with the knowledge of their parent/legal guardian.

Suspension is not to be counted as an unlawful absence for truancy purposes.

Excuses

Any student who misses school must present a written excuse, signed by his/her parent/legal guardian. A valid excuse should include the student’s name, the date(s) of the absence(s), the reason(s) for the absence(s), a parent/legal guardian signature, and a telephone number where the parent/legal guardian can be reached. The excuse will contain such other information as directed by the administration. The school administration will keep all excuses confidential.

If a student fails to bring a valid excuse to school, he/she will automatically receive an unexcused absence. If a student brings a false (or forged) excuse, the teacher will refer the student to the school administration for appropriate action.

Transportation

Students that are on the campus of TL Hanna or Westside must ride the bus to and from the Career Campus. If the student is off the campus of TL Hanna or Westside the may be dropped off in the front office area of the Career Campus. These students may ride the bus back to their home school or be transported by their parents. Student pick up will be in the student parking lot beside the building. * Only emergencies pick-ups are allowed in the front office. (Ex. Sickness or injury) Only students that are involved in job shadowing, clinical placement, or internships may be allowed to drive to and from the Career Campus. Pre-approval by the administration of the Career Campus is required for this driving privilege. A photo ID pass will be issued to the student once approved. Pre-approved students may not transport other students.

Tardiness

The district expects students to arrive at school on time and to report to each class on time. Students who enter classrooms late are disruptive to the instructional program and may be subject to disciplinary actions. Habitually tardy students may be referred to the district’s attendance office after school-based intervention with the parent and student is unsuccessful.

Classes begin promptly at the time scheduled. The student will be referred to the Office when they accumulate 3(three) or more unexcused tardies. Any student arriving after the tardy bell at AVCC will sign-in at the front office before going to his/her class.

Early Dismissals or Leaving School1. A student may leave prior to regular dismissal time because of personal illness, death in immediate family, religious observances,medical or dental appointments, and/or in the performance of school duties, provided proper authorization is granted. Students are notdismissed to assist the volunteer fire departments.2. In the case of illness, the parent/guardian will be called and notified of the fact and requested to come and pick up the student. In caseswhere the student drives his/her vehicle, and the parent/guardian cannot be contacted, the student, except in case of medicalemergency, will be placed in the sick room and subsequently sent back to his/her home high school or home at the end of his/her class.3. Students who wish to leave early must have a written statement from a parent/guardian requesting the student’s early dismissal. Thewritten statement must be dated and signed by the parent/guardian, state the student’s full name, the time the student is to sign out, thereason for signing out, and a phone number where the parent/guardian can be reached. The student is to give the note to the front officeprior to going to class (a.m. or p.m.).Dismissals count as absences for the periods missed and will be processed in the same manner as absences. Students must attend 75% of each session in order for daily attendance to be counted. Every student must sign out with the front office before leaving campus.

DisciplineThe philosophy of the Anderson Five Career Campus presumes that the student desires the best possible education in preparing for career and college opportunities and mid-level technology. Therefore, the instructor is not required to issue a warning with a disciplinary offense. It is theInstructor’s discretion as to whether or not the offense warrants referral to the administration team. Mature and sensible behavior is required. During an out-of-school suspension, the student may not attend classes, participate in school activities, or visit the school grounds at his/her home high school as well as the Career Campus.

CreditThe Career Campus follows the same policy as the high school in denying credit because of excessive absences. Denial of credit by state law will be assigned a grade of FA (Failure Due Absences) which calculates to a 61/F.Students who attend every day for the full year may have no more than ten (10) unexcused absences in each class. Students whoattend every other day for a semester may have no more than five (5) unexcused absences in each class.Please note that if a student leaves school early, the same attendance policies apply on a period-by-period basis. Too many unexcusedearly releases may result in a student not receiving credit. Seniors who need the Career Campus course to graduate may make up an absenceaccording to administrative policy.

Internet Acceptable Use Policy IFBGA-R

Access to the Internet is a privilege, not a right. With this privilege, there also is a responsibility to use the Internet solely for educational purposes and not to access inappropriate materials. To that end, the district administration is directed to develop appropriate guidelines governing the use of district computers to access the Internet. The District administration is also directed to implement such technology protection measures and Internet safety rules as may be required by the conditions of eligibility for any federal or state technology funding assistance program.

As part of the implementation of the administration's guidelines, students and staff must be instructed on the appropriate use of the Internet. In addition, parents must sign a permission form to allow student(s) access to the Internet. Students/Parents also must sign a form acknowledging that they have read and understand the Board policies and the administrative rules governing the appropriate usage of technology, that they will comply with the policy and administrative rule, and that they understand the consequences of violating the policy or administrative rule.

Adult users of a District computer with Internet access may request that such “technology protection measures” be temporarily disabled by the chief building administrator of the building in which the computer is located, for bona fide research purposes or other lawful purposes not otherwise inconsistent with law, this Policy, or the Administrative Rule issued to implement this Policy.

For purposes of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (“CIPA”), Pub. L. No. 106-554 & 47 U.S.C. § 254(l), the administrative rule developed by the district administration to implement this policy is the District’s CIPA “internet safety policy.” The rule must include provisions to address: (1) access by minors to inappropriate matter on the Internet and World Wide Web; (2) the safety and security of minors when using electronic mail, chat rooms, and other forms of direct electronic communications; (3) unauthorized access, including so-called “hacking” and other unlawful activities by minors online; (4) unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal identification information regarding minors; (5) and measures designed to restrict minors’ access to materials harmful to minors; (6) provide for the education of minors about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking sites and chat rooms, and cyber bullying awareness and response.

All searches will be unannounced. When conducting a classroom/locker search, each class will be asked to leave the classroom/lab and remain in the hallway until the search is completed. During a vehicle search, if the search dog reacts to a particular vehicle, the driver will be summoned to their vehicle where a complete search will be conducted. All discipline will be referenced to the home high school.

Director of School to WorkThe Director of School to Work will develop and foster relationships with the business community and other educational stakeholders in order to create career pathways for students.GOALS:

shadowing programs, career planning, internships, apprenticeships among other activities to provide opportunities for students to plan for their future

Work collaboratively with middle and secondary leadership and staff to establish connections between college and career opportunities

Changing of SchedulesAfter school starts, a limited number of schedules may be changed if it is in the best interest of the student, if space is available, and if thecourse losing the student does not suffer because of low enrollment. Except for unusual cases, no change in assignment will be made afterthe first five school days of being enrolled in the class. Changing schedules must be approved by the instructor, Guidance Counselor,and administration.

Student Report Cards/Progress ReportsClose cooperation between the school and home is an important part of the education of each student. Parents are invited to visit or call the school and make appointments with the administrators, instructors, or home school counselor. Two types of reports are used to motivate the student and keep parents/guardians informed of their student’s progress:

1. Interim progress reports are notices sent to parents/guardians giving an opportunity for better understanding of a student’s currentachievement in order for steps to be taken to bring about progress, where needed, by the end of the grading period.

2. Report cards are issued to students at the end of each nine-week period. The information on the report card is intended to help the parents in promoting the best interest of the student and to stimulate and inspire desirable growth with the school concerning any special interest or weakness of the student.
