Students

To the Students…

This Student Handbook may at first seem complicated and detailed. However, you should always remember this simple and basic rule: success in school is usually a matter of making proper choices in critical situations. You may face circumstances and problems that will seem overwhelming to you, but if you use sound judgment, ask for help when you need it and do your part to support the school rules. Success can be yours. You can begin by asking yourself four simple but essential questions:

(1) What are my personal choices?
(2) Who can help me?
(3) What will happen if I fail to abide by the rules and regulations?
(4) What will happen if I obey all the rules and regulations?

(1) What are my personal choices?
You must accept the responsibility for your own behavior and respect the rights of others. The mastery of self-control is the most important requirement for success in school. Once you have made these important personal choices, you can appreciate how success is tied to attending all classes, following directions and refusing alcohol, tobacco and drugs.

(2) Who can help me?
Each employee in the school is committed to do everything possible to make your learning environment comfortable and productive. School personnel are available to help you through meaningful instructions, to give effective guidance in making social and career choices, to keep your building clean and functioning, to keep unwanted people and materials out, and to provide services such as transportation and extracurricular activities. This is available to you. All you need to do is ask for it.

(3) What will happen if I fail to abide by the rules and regulations?
Failing to abide by the rules will result in some form of disciplinary action. Depending on the seriousness or frequency of the violation, the discipline may vary from simple teacher detention to suspension or recommendation for expulsion. Remember, failing to follow the rules may result in your failing to receive an education.

(4) What will happen if I obey all of the rules?
The ability to start and finish something successfully is a very positive character trail. Not only does it say that you are rational, mature, and dependable, but it also says that to prospective employers as well. Following the rules means a successful graduation.

Students are required to sign out in the Attendance Office to go home and provide a parental note upon returning to school. Being ill in the restroom for any extended period of time will not be accepted as an excuse to miss class (es).

Sick Student Policy

Our policy is that children may not attend school if any of the following symptoms are present:

*Lice: Hair must be washed with medicated shampoo and be free of all nits, before child may return to school.

*Fever: Children should remain home if they have an above-normal temperature.

*Conjunctivitis: “Pink-eye” is highly contagious. A child may return only after a health care provider signs a release and the child is free of symptoms.

*Rashes: Unidentified rashes must be diagnosed by a health care provider.

*Impetigo: Red pimples which become small pustules. Your child must be seen by a health care provider.

*Diarrhea: Two days in a row or three times in one day at school.
*Vomiting: Repeated forceful evacuation with other symptoms or the child’s inability to eat.

*Any unusual discomfort on the part of the child as an earache or other pain that causes the child to cry and creates major discomfort.

*Any other contagious conditions: measles, chicken pox, mumps, whooping cough, and streptococcal infections that are still contagious.

By strictly adhering to our policy on sick children, we will minimize the number of days that your child and our staff are sick. These procedures will result in healthier children and staff. Children may not bring or administer any medication (including cough drops, aspirin, etc.) on their own. The school nurse is available to help you according to the list of medications for your child. All medicines must be prescribed by a physician and have the child’s name on the container. The nurse will follow the instructions on the label.

Hygiene: Students are expected to maintain good personal hygiene and grooming.

Attendance Failure
All teachers must notify the administration in writing after the student has been out of class three (3) times in a nine- week grading period, but it is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the number of days he/she has missed in each class. Parents should be aware that their child will fail the nine-week grading period upon the sixth (6th) absence. Grades earned in a course in which a student has failed because of attendance will be replaced with a grade of “F”.

ABSENCE EXCUSE
1. Personal illness
2. A visit to a medical professional. A note from the professional is required.
3. Immediate death in the family.
4. Lack of proper immunizations or waiver (one day only).
5. Emergency
6. Observance of a religious holiday.
7. Pre-planned and approved educational field trips or college visits.
8. Court appearance required must show proof.
9. Out-of-school suspensions (a student who is suspended is absent but counted as an absence excuse for reporting purposes).
All other absences are classified as unexcused. Long term absences for legitimate reasons will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Incentive Programs
The objectives of the following incentive program are to: decrease tardiness; increase attendance and improve student’s grades.
1) Attendance: (Golden Card)
Students who have perfect attendance during a grading Period will be awarded a “Gold/Platinum Card” which entitles them to one (1) “free absence.”

The following restrictions apply to the use of the “Gold/Platinum Card”:
1. Students must have their parent’s permission in writing.
2. All teachers must approve the absence on the acknowledgement form.
3. The card is not transferred to another student.
4. To be eligible for this incentive, absences must not exceed the Five- Class Period Rule for that grading period.
5. The cards may not be used during the last two weeks of the trimester.
6. Cards must be used within the same school year, except for those who earned them during the last Quarter. (Cards must be used in the first Quarter of the new school year).

2) Tardiness: (Blue Card)
Students who are not tardy to school during a grading period will be awarded a “Blue Card” which entitles them to one “free tardy” to school for any tardy that may incur the following grading period. The “Blue Card” is not transferable to another student.
3) Breaking school policies:
 Brown Card: for students who don’t follow school policies or breaking school rules.
 Red Card: for students who take brown card twice, which means that his/her parent will show up in school.

Homework
We believe that homework is to provide additional practice on previously introduced skills and to enrich classroom experiences. Homework includes activities such as brief drills, reading, collecting information, sharing ideas with parents, and providing projects/assignments in which students must utilize their time in creative thought.
The amount of homework assigned varies based on the student’s grade level. Whenever possible, teachers will assign homework to allow time for the students to participate in family and community activities. An additional purpose of homework is to encourage the student to develop effective study skills, self discipline, work ethic, and individual discovery habits that are integral and indispensable elements of a quality education. The student is responsible for understanding homework expectations before leaving school and for completing the assignment on time.
As parents, you should support your child’s need to do his or her homework by providing space, supplies and help schedule homework time. Your child might ask for clarification on an assignment, but avoid providing answers or getting directly involved in the work. Teachers need to assess how well the students understand the subject matter.
Locker Assignment
Students will be assigned a locker at the beginning of the school year. The student will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining the locker. One key is kept with the student and one with the administration office. Problems with lockers should be immediately reported to the administration.

In order to protect personal belongings, each locker must be kept locked and used only by the assigned student. Students violating the locker policy may be issued school discipline. At the end of each academic year, the keys shall be returned to the administration office.

 يتم تسليم الطالب ال locker الخاص به في بداية العام الدراسي.
 يتم تسليم الطالب نسخة من المفاتيح والنسخة الاخرى في الإدارة.
 في حالة حدوث اي مشكلة يتم إبلاغ الإدارة.
 يجب على الطالب التأكد من غلق ال lockers الخاص به للحفاظ على الأشياء الموجودة بداخله.
 اي طالب يقوم بخرق التعليمات الخاصة بال lockers يعرض نفسه للعقاب المدرسي.
 يجب تسليم ال locker والمفتاح آخر العام الدراسي للإدارة.
 يجب دفع مصاريف الإصلاحات إذا حدث اي ضرر للlocker
Valuable Personal property
Personal property including, but not limited to, iPods, laptops, recorders, CD, MP3 and tape players, pagers, jewelry, electronic games, etc. should not be brought to school by students during school hours. The school will NOT be responsible for the loss of any personal property.

Students are not permitted to chew gum inside the classroom
Telephone
The telephone in the Main Office is for business use only. Permission WILL NOT be given to a student to call home for forgotten supplies or to communicate social plans after school hours.

Cell Phones / Beepers / Telephonic Devices
The school recognizes the need of students to have access to a telephone to coordinate after-school activities with parents, etc. Therefore, students at ZAS must deliver his/her mobile phone to the social worker at the beginning of the school day and receive it back at the end of the day. If a cell phone, pager, or other telephonic device is discovered during the school day, it will be removed from the student’s possession and turned over to the social worker.
The social worker or designee shall maintain a record identifying the item confiscated and the student from whom it was taken. All items confiscated are maintained in a secure (locked) space.
Confiscated cell phones, pagers, or other telephonic devices will only be returned to the parent or guardian, unless the item was discovered during or in relation to another offense. Cell phones, pagers, or other telephonic devices will not be returned to the students. It is the responsibility of the parent to make arrangements to pick up the confiscated item within one month. Please call ahead of time to make sure the social worker or designee is available.

 يتم تسليم الموبايل الخاص بالطالب الى الاخصائي الاجتماعي المسئول في اول اليوم الدراسي ويتسلمه بعد انتهاء اليوم الدراسي.
 في حالة عدم تسليمه او إحتفاظ الطالب بالموبايل اثناء اليوم الدراسي سوف يتم سحبه من الطالب وعدم تسليمه إلا بولي الامر.
The following disciplines will result in violation of this policy:
1. First offense will result in mobile phone being confiscated and returned to student at the end of the day.
