drills, lockdown drills), are conducted throughout the school year so that all staff and students will be prepared should an emergency occur. During regular school students are required to follow their teacher’s or administrator’s instructions during all emergency drills and situations. If an emergency occurs off-campus, students are to report to their supervising teacher or administrator. If the emergency extends beyond the end of the school day, students shall not be released until it has been determined that it is safe to do so. Before students are released, parents are required to sign them out in the school main office. Emergency Cards and Contact Information Each Alliance school shall have emergency cards on file for all students and staff. Parents/guardians are responsible for keeping all student emergency contact information and informing the school main office in writing of any changes as soon as possible (e.g., address changes, phone number changes). It is important for families to keep the emergency contact information up-to-update so all communications are received without delay or interruption. Students may only leave campus with the adults named and listed on their emergency card. Adults will be asked to show proper identification in order to sign students out. REV: 09/15 Administrative Supervision Supervision is provided for all school sponsored programs, activities, and meals during the instructional day. Unless otherwise noted for a specific school sponsored program or activity, hours of supervision at school begin 30 minutes before and after school ends. To ensure the safety of our students, it is important that students do not arrive before supervision has begun and that they leave promptly at the conclusion of their school day. Students who linger on or near campus will be sent home. Should any student create a disturbance by lingering before or after school, disciplinary action may be taken. School administration, staff, and parent volunteers are available to help ensure our campus remains safe and students are following traffic laws when crossing the street. Students are to obey all directions from supervisory staff and parent volunteers. REV: 06/15 Immunizations New students will not be enrolled unless a written immunization record is presented at the time of enrollment, and immunizations are up-to-date. All students new to Alliance schools must show that they have received all required immunizations in order to be enrolled. Those students who do not meet the state guidelines will be excluded from school until the requirements are met.
Any entity providing student services that require frequent or prolonged contact with students will be contractually required to ensure that all employees have had the appropriate criminal background checks and TB clearances prior to starting work with Alliance students. REV: 09/15 Parent Rights Parents are guaranteed certain rights within each Alliance campus. Parents have the right to: Work in partnership with the school to help their child succeed.

REV: 09/15 Parent Information on Student Progress Parent/Teacher Conferences Parent/ teacher conferences are held regularly throughout the school year (Alliance schools set individual dates). At these meetings, parents have the opportunity to meet with some of their child’s teachers to discuss the child’s progress and areas of focus. In addition, when a student experiences academic difficulties, or when the student is at risk of failing a course, a parent conference will be scheduled with the student to identify areas of concern and possible strategies for remediation. Attending parent/teacher conferences is highly encouraged. Progress Reports Progress reports are distributed every five (5) weeks. Progress reports are not final and indicate a student’s performance to-date in the semester.
