These policies, procedures and expectations can be found in the Student Handbook. Information is included on attendance/absences, cell phone use, lockers, textbooks, academic honesty, cafeteria expectations, detention, dress code, harassment, and more. In order to provide a working environment that is conducive to learning for all students the following guidelines have been established: Electronic devices (such as cell phones, iPods, MP3 players) need to be turned off and put away at the beginning of class.

General Education Academic Support Academic Labs are available periods 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Support of general education curriculum may come in the form of pre-teaching, re-teaching, and assistance with assignments or test/quiz taking. Students may come to an Academic Lab to take test and quizzes. Prior arrangements need to be made with the general education teacher, so we can ensure that we have the necessary materials and staff available to support and/or supervise students while they’re testing. Students need to take the lunch of the Academic Lab class if the test is being taken during a period attached to lunchtime. There is a possibility that students will need extra time that could extend the testing session to another period or the next day. In order to limit the opportunity for students to see test questions in advance, the test will be administered portion by portion in Academic Lab.
