Failure to abide by
these school-wide rules will result in disciplinary action deemed appropriate
by the classroom teacher and / or the school board.
Dress Code
In order to promote a learning environment
that encourages individuality through works of creativity and self-expression
rather than current fashion trends, a strict dress code is to be followed
daily. We believe a dress code will set our students apart by allowing
them to discover the importance of learning and self-worth in a non-threatening
social atmosphere.
Students must wear a combination of
the following each and every school day:
- Collared Academy Polo
- Academy Tee-Shirt
- Khaki Pants / Shorts / Skirt
- Belted Blue Jeans
- Blue Jean Shorts / Skirt
Please Note: Absolutely
no clothing that is cut, frayed, adorned with holes or written messages,
and / or oversized will be permitted. Tops must be sized appropriately
with midriff fully covered. Shorts and skirts must be within 3 inches
of the knee.
Attendance
Each student is granted 10 sick days.
Sick days are designated by receipt of a note from guardian or doctor
listing student name and day(s) missed.
Each student is also granted the opportunity
for excused educational leave. Educational leave is not to exceed
15 days, and students will be held responsible for completing assignments
created by the classroom teacher. Assignments may include a daily
journal, a photo diary, edt. that related directly to the travel destination.
Parents are to demonstrate respect for
classroom teachers / staff by ensuring that students adhere to the
school schedule:
Grades K - 9 arrival
time is 8:10 am, dismissal time is 2:45 pm.
Behavior
The Academy is to be a school recognized
for its positive learning atmosphere where teachers and students alike
are treated with utmost respect and care. In order to ensure that
every school day is carried out efficiently and that our students
receive quality instruction uninhibited by negative behavior, students
will receive appropriate disciplinary action for the following:
Electronics
Students are banned from using any electronic
equipment at school for the purpose of entertainment such as music players,
game players, etc. unless otherwise instructed by the classroom teacher.
Teachers / administrators have the authority to confiscate such equipment
if discovered in use during the school day.
School Grounds
Students will be held accountable for
respect of school property. All educational materials, furniture, and
equipment are to be handled with care in order to maintain a clean and
healthy school environment.
