We expect each student to be successful at Riverview East Academy. Successful people are described as being organized and well planned. Since our goal is have every student at Riverview achieve the highest caliber of education possible, we recognize the importance of the student and family role in this goal. This year we are asking you to use a planner on a daily basis to help with organization and planning. The planner is something that you should use on a daily basis for several reasons. The first reason is that you should use this planner to record any assignments that you have to do in your classes. This will help you to be organized and keep track of current and future assignments. The second reason you will use this planner is to track any reminders that you need to have handy. These may include reminders about books you need to remember for certain classes or even reminders about forms that you may need to get signed. The third reason the planner is important is the staff has put together school rules and policies that provide information to parents in a one place instead of getting many packets of papers. All of the information about Riverview will be in the planner. Of course, as the school year goes on, there may be information that changes, but for the most part, we have tried to make all of the information accessible in one place. The final reason the planner will be able to help your parents and teachers communicate regularly by writing in the planner, checking the planner, and asking for feedback. We believe that these reasons make the planner essential for you to use. You will also need their planner in order to be excused from the classroom. It will operate as a pass as you move outside of your classroom when you are not escorted by your teacher. You need to have your planner with you at all times. It is important that you treat the planner as carefully as you treat your cell phone or other prized possession. If you lose your planner, you will be responsible for paying a fee of $5.00 for a replacement, and you may have limited access outside the classroom as you will not have a pass to be out of the classroom. It is important that you have your planner to be a successful student. Teachers will be reviewing the rules and policies with you so that you could have a successful year. Please take every advantage that Riverview East has to offer and enjoy your 2015-2016 school year. Sincerely yours, Charlene Myers Principal MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Riverview East Academy is to provide a safe environment that promotes respect, and motivates students to learn and act responsibly. We will establish high standards of learning that we expect all students to achieve by capitalizing on their individual strengths. We will prepare students by creating and delivering a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum. The elementary students will participate in wellness activities, while the high school students will be prepared to enter the healthcare workforce and/or post-secondary healthcare education. We believe education is the shared responsibility of the student, home, school and community. THE HISTORY OF RIVERVIEW EAST ACADEMY Riverview East Academy was established in 2005. It merged two K-6 schools, Linwood Academy and McKinley Elementary into one school, spanning preschool-12th grade. This Community Learning Center was established so that our students could go to one school through all 13 years at one location. The hope was to cut the dropout rate of our students when they left the community to go to high school. Riverview East has met that goal, with many graduating students having completed their journey starting either at Linwood or McKinley, and on through Riverview East. 2 Table of Contents High School Course of Study………………………………………………………………………………………..5 Bell Schedule………………………………………………………………………………………………………….6 Important Dates 2014-2015…………………………………………………………………………..…….….…....7 Responsibilities of Students, Parents, Teachers and Administration…………………………..……………….8 Important Forms & Information……………………………………………………………...…………………..9-12 Emergency Medical Forms Administration of Medication Immunization Forms Photo Release Student Fees/Fines Waiver of Student Fees Field Trips Meals & Costs Attendance Policy…………………………………………………………………...…………………….…….13-16 Non-Attending Students Absences Before School Tardies Late Arrivals Early Dismissal Early Release After School Before & After School Care Uniforms………………………………………….………………………………………………………………….16 Discipline…………………………………………………………………………………………………………17-24 In School Discipline Exclusion of Students Emergency Removal Suspension Expulsion Permanent Expulsion ISS Expectations and Rules Search & Seizure Interrogation Due Process Zero Tolerance Bullying Policy Safety…………………………………………………………………………………………………..…………24-25 Weapons Visitors/Volunteers Drug/Tobacco Use Emergency Plans…………………………………………………………………………………..……………25-26 Calamity Days ALiCE Safety Plans Flooding Transportation…………………………………………………..……………………………………………….26-28 Student Parking Visitors Parking First Student Bus Service Metro Bus 3 Academic Information…………………………………………………………………………………………..28-33 Homework Policy 3rd Grade Guarantee Grade Placement for High School Dual Enrollment Requirements for Riverview East Graduation GPA Diplomas & Commencement Types of Diplomas Credits Internet Usage Policy…………………………………………………………………………………….……..33-35 Safety/Education Social Networks Network Etiquette & Safety Content Filtering Cell Phone & Electronic Device Policy …………………………………………………………………..…..…..35 Student Eligibility for Athletics …………………………………………………………………………………35-36 Daily Attendance Sports by Season Extra-Curricular Activities………………………………………………………………………………………36-37 Student Leadership & Toastmasters Leadership Scholars Positive School Culture ……………………………………………………………………………………….…...38 Kidnergarten-4th Grade Behavior Management Honors & Accolades………………………………………………………………………………...…………..38-39 SOAR Matrix School Behavior………………………………………………………………………………………………………...…………………..40 Cafeteria Behavior………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….41 Bus Behavior…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……………42 Corrective Strategies Matrix…………………………………………………………………………………....43-45 Riverview East Graduation Requirements Information Sheet…………………………………...……………..46 GPA Calculation Worksheet……………………………………………………………………………...………..47 School Song………………………………………………………………………………………………...……….48 Permission Slips & Important Forms …………………………………………………………………………49-57 Bully Reporting Form ………………………………………………………………………………………………59 ABC Enrollment ……………………………………………………………………………………………………61 School Based Health Center Consent to Treatment ……………………………………………………….63-70 4 Riverview East Academy High School COURSE OF STUDY 2014-15 Grade Grade 8 Grade 9 Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12 7 English English English English 9* English 10* English 11* English (4 7 8/8AA 12/12AA* Credits)* Math (4 Pre- Algebra Geometry* Algebra II* AQR/PreCalc AA* Pre-Calc AA Credits)* Algebra I*/Algebra I AA Science Science Science 8 Biology* Chemistry* Anatomy/Physiology* Pathophysiology* (3 7 Credits) Social Social Social Modern US American Studies Studies Studies 8 World History* Government/ 7 History* Economics* Health Intro to Intro to Health Health Health Found II Clin Clin Sci TPI 2* Careers Careers Careers Foundation Tech* Sci TPI 1* I* Electives Art I* Cause* Creative Reading* Ethnic Issues* Film Tech * OGT Preparation Physical Education 9-12/Sr. Hi Health* Senior Choir* Senior Band* Spanish 1* Spanish 2* Spanish 3* Work Study (IEP only) Grades 7- 12 will have daily advisement bells with a mentor teacher.
