Learning Center Procedures & General Information

General

Students are not permitted to communicate, distract, or be out of their office without permission. They should not turn sideways, turn around, or tip back in their chair. Activities not related to prescribed material are not to be conducted in an office unless privileges have been earned.

Gum

Gum is never allowed on school property.

Calculators

Calculators are only used once permission is received from his/her teacher.

Student Offices

Offices are assigned and changed only by teachers, and they must be kept neat and cared for by the student. Goal Card(s) must be placed in the upper right-hand corner, Progress Chart is placed in the upper left-hand corner, PACEs and notebooks are to be placed in the student's magazine holder. Bibles are placed against the left-hand divider, and an enclosed pencil box placed in the middle against the backboard.

Students may NOT bring approved background material for the bulletin board. This has proven to be a distraction.

Goal Card:

We know every student is different and students work at their personal pace. Therefore, we do not use a lock step system. Each student must learn to set his/her own goals in each subject for the day depending on the student's work load and ability. Students will keep up with their progress by using a Goal Card. They must record the exact page numbers they will do that day. Upon completion of each goal, including scoring and correcting, the goal is crossed off and reset for the next school day. Students can only use blue ink on their Goal Card.

If a student does not get finished with their goals during school hours, the work is sent home to be finished.

Lunch Procedures:

Students may bring their own lunches. The lunch needs to be self contained and able to be put in a 12"x12" area. A microwave is available for student's use.

Lost & Found

The lost and found department of the school is operated from the school office. A handling charge of 100 points will be charged for each item recovered through lost and found. At the end of a reasonable time, all items, which have not been claimed will become the property of the school and may be disposed of through a student auction.
