PROGRESS REPORTS

Interim Progress Reports are an integral part of the instructional program. The reports are issued every
two weeks in order to notify both students and parents of the academic and behavioral performance of
students prior to the completion of a nine-week term. Additionally, instructors may be called upon to
issue daily or weekly progress reports in some cases where students need to be monitored more closely.
Instructors should keep a copy of any unsatisfactory progress report issued or a record of such issuance.
st
th
Student Grades must be updated on the 1 and the 15 of every month at minimum.
Also see FAILURE NOTICES.

READING PLAN

The Reading Leadership Team will be developing and disseminating a school-wide Reading Plan.
REFERRALS
Students experiencing difficulties academically, socially, or emotionally should be referred to
administration or guidance for discipline and/or guidance through an official referral form. See
DISCIPLINE
RETENTION

It is extremely important that each classroom instructor meet with the administration concerning any
student who is experiencing academic difficulties. Students will be promoted/retained in accordance
th
with the Student Progression Plan guidelines. Instructors are required to notify guidance of 8 grade
th
and 12 grade students at risk of earning an F.

SIGN-IN/SIGN-OUT

All staff must clock-in/clock-out using the biometric reader. It is the responsibility of each staff
person to ensure that he/she record his/her arrival and departure from school. If you are arriving to or
departing from work late or early, please follow the appropriate procedures.

SCHEDULE CHANGES

Students at SCPA may request a schedule change through the Course Change Request form. Many of
these requests are quite legitimate and need to be considered expediently. Others may be desirable on
the part of the student, but not necessarily appropriate from an educational standpoint, nor
administratively possible. Administrative schedule changes are often necessary to balance classes,
create additional sections, eliminate certain classes, or to change students in order to make other
kinds of modifications to the master schedule to accommodate unforeseen needs. Instructors may also
make requests for student schedule changes, i.e., a student demonstrates benchmark mastery and is
ready for the next level, or conversely, the student is in an advanced class and has not yet mastered
basic competencies.
