I think that's what it is called, where students start to type a word and their ipad suggests a word for them. I hate it. Can we disable that?

I feel like they worked great. I am very guilty of not checking every single time I click, but I do feel that having that power did cut back on some repeat offenders. I think, when done with fidelity, it was a great system.

We have to improve our communication. I learned about a student not being promoted by receiving an email that read I needed to change a report card comment on which I wrote "good luck in high school." I would have looked really foolish had that not been caught prior to report cards being printed.

I know meetings can be tough because we are all so busy after school, but we have to meet more. Even a 20-25 minute briefing in the mornings prior to school starting can be beneficial.

Homework, projects and classwork should be reflective of learning current curriculum. When students are turning in work weeks or months late, the students have missed an important concept that they need for the next lesson or will be tested on at some point. Being on time and turning assignments (work projects) in on time are important life-long skills.

Why are students not allowed to wear non-ARS sweatshirts, but then allowed to bring blankets? Students know it is going to be cold in the building and should dress accordingly.

Is there a way to make the testing days only go until 1:00? The time after testing is utterly unbearable. I don't know if that would leave us enough school hours for the year according to the state, but if it does, would that be possible?

Dress Code:  No warnings, no asking students to take off / change, just write an infraction.  Then if a student earns 3+ dress code infractions in a 9 week period they lose free dress fridays.

Level drop consequences:  Level 2 = silent lunch, but we need a silent lunch room and a list of students who should be in there so everyone is consistent
Level 1= silent lunch and no free time in the mornings. Parents must escort them into the building and sign them in with a morning detention teacher. Maybe if we inconvenience the parents we'll see some changes in behavior.

I really enjoy Community Time though I think it takes away valuable instructional time. We could all come together for the pledge. Announcements could be online and read aloud by the Renaissance Teacher, and parents could view it also. We could have a full Community Time on Mondays to start the week. Just a thought :)

I really like many facets of these, and think that we should 1) stress them more, 2) prepare the students a little more for them, and 3) have them at least twice a year--shortly after the first quarter, and again somewhere in the 3rd quarter.

Late work:
Clearly this is a huge problem.
1) Allow late work, but it must be turned in by 3:15 the next day.  This allows the student to use 7th period on the day it is due (encourage them to call and stay that day) and/or work at home that night.  It gives time if they really want to turn in the work, but it makes sure it's completed during the current unit, doesn't drag things out, and is clear and simple for  parents, students, and teachers.
2) Work turned in late (at the point you collect it) receives a 15% penalty.  Work not turned in by the day after becomes a 0.  If we want them to learn to be responsible, we've got to show them what it looks like and require it.  They still get a second chance for oopsies.

Paper planners:
I really believe that paper planners would be beneficial for the students.  They are easier to write in and spot check for homework, they have spaces for communication between parents and teachers, and can also include useful sheets for each subject (formulas, Spanish vocab/terms, etc.). Parents don't check PowerSchool/Canvas, and that's mostly a choice of being tired/not wanting to look at a screen, I think.  The planner would be extra work but well worth it.

Dress code: 1) Check dress code at the start of the day.  Have them line up and not enter class until we check if it's needed.
2) Write the infraction, and take any dress item that is non dress code.  Students may not get them until the end of the day.  That will cut down on many offenses because they won't have it.
3) The ability to send a student up front if it is not possible to be fixed in class.  No, it's not life-threatening, but it's disrespectful and intentional, which is basically defiance. If it's really worth their while not to do it, it will decrease drastically.  It's also what the uniform policy states will happen.
4) Stress to parents from Day -10 next year that this is important and that we will expect and require their help and support.  We can't let it slide, because that's what we've got now.

The missing work is a huge issue.  Our students think that deadlines are suggestions. Because of all the last minute work being turned in,  I feel like l am being punished at the end of each nine weeks.

The lack of respect is alarming. Infractions are nothing to students. There is so much eye rolling and lip smacking when students are asked to follow the rules.

# data[].attributes.body
The dress code is being violated daily and by repeat offenders. The girls seem to look at it as a challenge as to what they can get away with. They all have a "backup" pair of leggings (which aren't dress code, either) in their bags to throw on if they are busted for their bootie shorts.
Repeat offender boys tend to wear their non-uniform sweatshirts daily. And laugh it off if they get an infraction.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no accountability for work. I have had several students turn in work from the first quarter this week.
You ask them to work on their classwork and they spend more time socializing than they do working on the work. Then, when they are told the work is due at the beginning of class the following day, they just do not turn anything in. Same thing the next day and the same pattern happens again and again.
Even projects where they lose points for late work is handed in nonchalantly whenever they get around to it and not when it is due.

not working in class leads to management issues.

Late work leads to cheating and dishonesty, not a true reflection of student work/knowledge

to be career and college ready, they need to know how to manage time and respect deadlines

Students challenge, and get away with not following uniform policy. If we aren't going to enforce it, then why do we have it? Example- non ARS wear, shorts too short, holes in clothes, sleeveless shirts or shirts with holes in the shoulders.

They have zero respect for anyone.

They challenge and get away with being disrespectful.

Infractions and level drops don't phase them

Discipline is nonexistent

Missing work exceeds more than 10 assignments for some kids.
