Students are also responsible for class material missed in the event of absence. It is the responsibility of the student and/or parent to contact teachers in the event of a sudden absence to find out about any material missed and catch up with missed material prior to the next meeting date. Late or missing assignments put extra burdens on the teachers, allow the student to fall behind, and are an inefficient use of the time and energy for both the student and teacher. The following policy is used for missing assignments: First missing or late assignment: teacher notifies and informs parent via e-mail; Second missing or late assignment: teacher notifies and informs parent via telephone; Third missing or late assignment: teacher notifies parent and the board, at which point the Board will determine necessary action between parent/student/teacher. 8.

Each teacher reserves the right to confiscate any such items until the end of classes should this policy be violated. DISCIPLINE POLICY Parents are responsible for their children at all times, and it is their duty to handle any misbehavior. 1.For the first offense, the teacher will give the student a verbal warning. 2. For the second offense, the teacher or a helper will take the student to his parent for five minutes or send the student to the quiet zone. In the latter case, the teacher will inform the parent and a member of the Leadership Team that afternoon of the circumstances involved. 3. If the inappropriate behavior continues, the teacher will notify the Leadership Team so that the issue can be discussed again with the parents. 4. If the situation still does not improve, the Leadership Team will notify the parents that the student is suspended from co-op.
