ACADEMIC PROBATION

A student may be placed on Academic Probation and receive an Acaemic Contract if the average of the grades achieved by the student warrants such action. Any student placed on Academic Probation is subject to be removed from participation in student government, school activities, or athletics. If there is no improvement as specified, the student may be subject to be transferred to another school where specific learning needs be addressed more efficiently. In the event of a remarkable academic improvement by the student, a possible re-installment will be considered.



ACADEMIC PROBATION FOR NON-DISCIPLINARY REASONS


Certain pupils may be given a recommendation to transfer to grounds other than class or school discipline. The following procedure is used for the pupil who is clearly unable to profit from school work by reason of high ability, subnormal ability or serious emotional instability.

  • It has been determined that other schools or agencies have facilities to assist such pupil;

  • There has been sufficient discussion with the parents concerning their child’s condition;

  • The final decision has been made by the principal in consultation with the pastor.

  • ​​​​​Probation​​​

    A school may decide to place an enrolled student on probation as a disciplinary matter. Disciplinary probation occurs when the student's behavior has reached a point where a more serious response from the school is required. If the student's behavior does not improve while on probation, the disciplinary process may lead to suspension and/or expulsion​ or withdrawal​

    The probationary status of the student and the terms of the probation must be clearly documented in writing and signed by the parents/guardians.​

    If a school decides to place a student on disciplinary probation, it must insure that the seriousness of this status is communicated to the student's ​​parents/guardians. Due to the great variety of student offenses that can result in disciplinary probation, a school has many options in determining the extent of a student's probation (limiting activities, no athletics, community service, etc.). At the high school level, a High School Disciplinary Probation Agreement (sample) must be completed and signed by parents/guardians.​
