Student Handbook
ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS AND POLICIES (Page 9 of the AMS Student Handbook)
Every student is entitled to an instructional program that is challenging, relevant and interesting. The opportunity to receive a quality education is dependent upon student responsibility. It is expected that each student will:
Bring appropriate tools and supplies daily. (as specified or supplied by teachers)
Bring your Chromebook to school each day. Chromebook must be charged every night.
Bring and use your AMS School Agenda every day.
Complete assigned homework and engage in a nightly home study before class (this includes assigned homework, studying for tests, reviewing notes, etc.).
Make a positive contribution to class instructional activities by demonstrating a willingness to participate and by completing necessary assignments/projects.
It is recommended that students have a 2” or 1.5” binder. Students should bring the binder to school every day, including the first day of school. Students will be given an agenda (student planner) and are expected to have it with them each day. This allows students to develop organizational skills that will stay with them as they continue in their education.
PROGRESS REPORTS
Progress reports will be sent home with students approximately halfway into each quarter. Students are responsible for giving their reports to you. This is valuable information, allowing time for your intervention if needed before the quarter grades are posted.
REPORT CARDS
Report cards are prepared at the end of each quarter in order to communicate student progress, both academically and behaviorally. Report cards will be mailed to the home address of record. The following dates mark the end of each quarter: October 22, 2021; January 28, 2022; April 1, 2022; June 16, 2022.
