School Policies and Procedures - Core Expectations for Staff, Parents, and Students
The need for an interactive, reciprocal, and cooperative relationship between student, parent, and educator is recognized. This relationship should be as follows:
Staff members are expected to:
- Exhibit an attitude of respect for students and fellow workers.
- Plan instruction using the Quality Indicator self assessment map for standards in order to meet the needs of all students.
- Practice fair and impartial treatment of all students at all times.
- Develop and maintain a good working relationship with students.
- Work cooperatively with other staff members, parents, and students and treat them with respect and courtesy.
- Steadfastly enforce school rules and policies with fairness and consistency in the classroom and throughout the school.
- Be responsible for establishing an atmosphere of proper school behavior by modeling and setting guidelines for such behavior.
- Communicate with school personnel, students, and parents in a responsible and non-threatening manner, without abusive language or physical violence. Abusive language is defined as any words or gestures intended to insult, hurt feelings, or humiliate. This includes, but is not limited to, slander, public accusations, and racial, religious, or sexual slurs.
- Respond within a reasonable time period to a parent’s request for a conference regarding student behavior or class progress.
Parents are expected to:
- Read and become thoroughly familiar with this document. Furthermore, parents cannot excuse their children from compliance of the rules, and guidelines explained in the document. For example, parents cannot excuse their children for not wearing the uniform)
- Be aware of and support compliance with the rules and policies established by this document.
- Be responsible for their child’s daily attendance on time and promptly communicate and explain, in writing, an absence or tardiness to the school. The school is not responsible for students who willfully fail to report to class.
- Be responsible for the deliberate misconduct of their child.
- Be responsible by ensuring that the student is in compliance with the dress code before he/she departs for school. If a student fails to report to school wearing the uniform as prescribed by school policy, the parent may be summoned to school to either pick the student up or ensure that the student is in full uniform.
- Understand that the rules must be enforced to provide a safe, sound learning environment.
- Support and cooperate with the school administration in the implementation and enforcement of school procedures and rules.
- Report to school when summoned by staff or administrators, particularly in cases that demand urgent attention.
Students are expected to:
- Attend all classes daily and arrive on time.
- Come to class prepared with appropriate working materials, books, and supplies.
- Be respectful of all individuals and property.
- Refrain from making profane or defamatory statements. Vulgar or profane language will not be accepted in the classroom or school environment.
- Conduct themselves in a safe and responsible manner.
- Develop a sense of responsibility for their actions, such as being on time with homework/make-up work.
- Treat all students, parents, faculty, staff, and other adults with respect and courtesy.
- Communicate with others in the school environment in a responsible, honest, and non-threatening manner without abusive language or physical violence.
- Be aware of and conform to class, school, and system-wide rules and regulations.
- Follow directions from all school personnel without delay and in a cooperative manner.
- Respect the property of others by not engaging in vandalism or theft.
- Respect the rights and privacy of others by not engaging in unacceptable physical contact such as public display of affection, bullying, hitting, pushing, or harassment of any kind.
- Take pride in themselves, their school, their culture, and their country.
Being a student at the DoD DDESS-Puerto Rico is not only a distinct privilege, but it also entails many responsibilities. Students must recognize the fact that the foremost purpose for which they come to school is to get an education. As part of that journey, they could also have many other great experiences which rely entirely upon those choices made by them during their time as students at Antilles High School.
Locus Parentis - Staff and Student Interaction
Every student is under the jurisdiction of ALL administrators, teachers, educational technicians, aides, office staff, nurse, substitute teachers, kitchen and custodial workers. Insolent/rude behavior to any adult at Antilles High School will result in swift and stern disciplinary action.
