Student Aide Syllabus

Mr. Guymon – Stevens High School

Student/Teacher/Office/Classroom Aides

OBJECTIVE: The intent of the student/teacher/office aide program is to give the student aide an exposure to a variety of duties and disciplines not normally initiated in the formal classroom setting. The purpose of the school-wide policy is to assure consistency in application of aide grades. Skills will be organizational skills and interpersonal communications.

DUTIES: As assigned daily by teacher and will vary

ATTENDENCE: Regular attendance is expected in an aide program. Attendance will be tracked daily. Unexcused absences are unacceptable and may result in dismissal from the position with a letter grade of an “F”. In addition, tardies and absences will be addressed as per school policy. As a matter of professionalism and common courtesy, the student should always notify the instructor in advance of any scheduled absences or tardies.

1. If you would like to receive an “A” in this class you:

a. Help with classroom procedures and assist students as needed

b. Carry out duties as assigned

The following is a list of things you will need to know to be able to carry out your duties in this class. This is a very busy class and we trust you to go ahead with the work without needing to be told.

· When you arrive, come prepared to work. Punctuality is a must! Check to see what tasks need to be completed. When leaving the room, do not visit in the classroom or hallways with other students.

· CONFIDENTIALITY: Any conversations or observations encountered while working as an aide are strictly confidential and are not to be discussed with anyone other than the teacher.

· If you make a false call or we receive a false note excusing you, you will be dismissed from classroom aide duties and receive an “F”.

· If any school documents have been altered by you, you will receive an “F” and be dismissed from aide duties. In addition, you will be disciplined following the discipline matrix in the student handbook.

· Aides are not to leave the classroom without permission or have friends come to visit. When your work is done, have other studies to work on, a book to read, or assist students in the class with assignments as you are able.

I the undersigned student understand and agree to fulfill all duties expected of me as an aide.
