Student Responsibilities continued

Physical Education Dress Code

Students in physical education classes are required to come to class wearing proper clothes for physical activity:

• Sneakers

• A required P.E. Uniform, which can be purchased from the MS/BU Charter School PTSA.

In order to participate in the class activities, the student must wear the required attire. Student’s grades will be impacted by a failure to adhere to the dress code policy.  Those students not properly dressed will not be able to participate, and thus cannot be evaluated. 

Cellular Phones

Cellular phones will be allowed on campus only when unseen and unheard during the school day, and even then, only at the discretion of the administration.  Should cell phones be seen or heard during the school day, they will be confiscated and only picked up by parents.

Homework Policy

Every student has homework every school day: if no specific assignment is given, students are to read approved books for independent reading, or study and review their lessons in all subjects nightly.  Homework is assigned at the discretion of the individual teacher.  The purpose of homework is to provide practice or review of skills previously taught.  All students are required to complete homework.  Homework at the charter school directly impacts the daily lesson and transfer of learning.  It is the student’s responsibility to write all assignments in their planners, and the parent’s responsibility to check their child’s planner. If a student chooses not to complete an assignment/project within the specified time, the following procedures will be followed:

• Grade will be severely impacted (one zero seriously impacts a grade)

• Parents will be notified by bi-weekly or bi-monthly report

• Teachers may choose to hold detention

• Student/Parent will be in breach of his/her student/parent Charter School Contract

Administrative Action will be taken if there are repeated homework offenses
