ACADEMIC DEFICIENCY

Through the use of an office referral an Academic Deficiency will be reported for students that are chronically unprepared for class or are at risk of failing a class.  The teacher will issue the referral when the student is in danger of academic failure. The principals will work closely with the student, teacher and family to create a plan for improvement. The MBC room may be utilized if necessary.  The classroom teacher will help the student become more successful by using classroom interventions and modifications.

If the student does not become more productive in the classroom, the teacher or administration will notify the family that this level of academic performance is not acceptable.  A family conference will be held and a plan for intervention will be created. At that time, a student may also be assigned an after school detention or Saturday morning detention. If all preventive measures fail, the student will receive a failing grade.

AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION

When a student has been assigned after school detention, the parent will be notified immediately.  All after school detentions will be held 3:30-4:30 p.m. and monitored by the MBC Room staff.  Parents will be given at least one-day notice.  The parents will provide transportation home for the student.  While in detention, the student is expected to complete any assigned work and follow all MBC Room procedures and rules.

SATURDAY MORNING DETENTION

Students assigned to Saturday Detention will be monitored by the principal in the principal’s office. Parents will be notified immediately if a placement is being made.  These detentions will be scheduled as needed with the hours being 7:30-10:30 am.  This intervention will only be assigned for frequent habitual misbehaviors/infractions or severe academic problems where students are not putting forth their best effort to succeed. Parents are responsible for transporting their children to and from school for Saturday Detention.
