The Approach

Satisfactory Days
Each day students will be evaluated regarding their conduct and engagement. There is no downtime.
Students will receive a 0, 1, or negative point/s every 30 minutes and must have a conduct grade of 80% or higher to have a satisfactory day.
There are 15 evaluations each day and students must gain 12 points or more to achieve the 80% threshold.
Unsatisfactory days do not count toward placement time. That day must be repeated.
If a student falls below 60% on conduct and engagement that day is Failed and results in suspension and also for the following 2 days. A suspension adds 3 days to a students placement.
Two unsatisfactory days within five days results in a parent contact.
Three unsatisfactory days within five days results in a suspension. Again, with a suspension an additional three days will added to their placement.
A 10-day probationary period is implemented following a suspension.
Students cannot have unsatisfactory days during this time and will result in a suspension.
Virtual Attendance/Edgenuity
Students must also meet one of two criteria to have a satisfactory day.
Less than 15% idle time with online learning (85% engaged or more).
Or a minimum “Work Grade” of 85% or higher (based on available work time and assignments completed).
