• Specific Procedures for addressing absenteeism: Students’ frequent absences would jeopardize their successful completion of a course. A student can have a maximum of 5 absences in a class semester for which the students must make up time on an hour-for-hour basis that will be arranged at the discretion of the principal, based upon the individual needs and resources of the school. If students leave early from a class four times that will be counted as one absence. Parents will be notified of the behaviors of students to remind them of the school’s attendance policy.
• Specific procedures for addressing lateness: Teachers will take attendance in the first 30 minutes of each class which will be considered as official. A student is not allowed to enter the class if he/she is late more than 15 minutes in which case student would be required to submit a late note including the date, reason and parent’s or guardian’s signature to excuse his/her absence.

In case of a valid reason (which would be decided by the principal), the absence or lateness of the student will be excused. In order to be granted a credit, a student must meet the criterion of demonstrating that he/she has met the expectations of the course. Once a student registered more than 20 hours of absences from a course the student may be denied the opportunity to complete the course.

Policies on Missing or Being Late for Tests, Exams, or Assignments. A student’s grade in a course is determined based on the student demonstrating the degree to which he/she meets the curriculum expectations of the course. Attendance and punctuality are paramount with regards to Tests and Exams as is the prompt meeting of assignment deadlines. Lateness or Absence for Tests, and Late or Missing assignments can adversely affect the student’s assessments and evaluations. Students with legitimate reasons for a missing test, exam, or being late or having missed assignments, must submit appropriate documentation to support their claim. Students who have undocumented absences at the time of tests, assignments, exams or other evaluations may not have a makeup opportunity and may be graded zero on the evaluation. In case of emergency, students may request a waiver of the attendance requirement which should be submitted a week before the evaluation. Granting or denying the request for waiver will be decided by the principal after determining if a student’s reason and documentation for missing a test, exam, or submitting late or missing assignments are legitimate. In case of denial, the student will not be allowed the opportunity to make up the evaluation time. If the request is accepted the evaluation will be rescheduled to a mutually agreed upon time.

Assessment and Evaluation of the students are based on the Achievement Charts in the Growing Success and the Provincial Curriculum Policy Documents for the courses in which the students are enrolled. Evaluation of students of grade 7 and 8 are based on ongoing performance in class using various assessment tools. However, evaluation for grade 9 to 12 is based on the level of achievement the student demonstrates in the skills and knowledge covered in a course. 70% of the final mark is based on classroom work 30% of the final mark is based on a final evaluation that may be determined through a variety of methods in the latter portion of the course.

The reporting policy of APS include the credit system where credit is granted when a course scheduled for a minimum of 110 hours is successfully completed. If a student has completed a course but has failed to achieve the passing level, no credit will be granted.

If a student of grade 11 or 12 courses withdraws within a minimum of five instructional days before the issue of the first provincial report card, the withdrawal is not recorded on the OST. A report card will be provided to the student and parent twice per course, one mid-way through the course and one at the end of the course.
