Student In Good Standing

Student in Good Standing

This policy is to encourage students to follow the rules and guidelines for behaviour at Elnora
School. Our goal is to help all students succeed, and to make the school as safe and caring an
environment as we can. This policy outlines the expectations placed on students as members of
the Elnora School community.

Students in Good Standing will:

1. Maintain regular attendance (including arriving for class on time prepared to work).

2. Maintain acceptable personal conduct and follow school rules.

3. Maintain acceptable study habits, with all assignments completed and handed in.

4. Maintain a grade in all subject areas that is consistent with the students best effort and
    ability.

• Expectations 1-3 are outlined in the Alberta School Act, Chapter S-3.1, Section 7, page 17
  and, therefore, are legal requirements place on the students as well.

Students who fail to live up to these expectations may have their student in good standing status
revoked for a limited period of time. The most common reasons for losing good standing status
might be: a suspension or serious discipline concern, an excessive number of inexcusable
absences or lates, an unacceptable level of incomplete assignments, or a failing grade in one or
more courses.

The following consequences may be invoked should a student lose good standing status. The
student may be:

1. Ineligible to attend school extracurricular functions.

2. Ineligible to participate on school teams, clubs, or other activities.

3. Required to make up assignments or time after school.

Consequences may be imposed at the discretion of the school administration, depending on the
severity and/or frequency of the concern, or upon the recommendation of teachers. As well, the
length of the loss of student in good standing status will generally persist for a period of three
months, but may otherwise be determined by the administration in consultation with staff. Students
who are suspended during the last month of a school year may have their loss of good standing
status carried over into the next school year, depending upon the severity of their misconduct.
