Textbooks and Supplies

Distribution and Responsibility

At the beginning of each school semester, teachers will distribute textbooks and materials. The identification number of each book will be recorded. At the end of each semester, students must return the books to their teachers. Students are responsible for the care and good condition of ASA books and materials. Each student (grades 6 - 12) is assigned a lockable locker for storing these materials.

Students should not leave their books or property anywhere besides in school lockers on the school grounds. Such misplaced items are periodically collected by the maintenance staff and taken to "Lost and Found". ASA is not responsible for the theft of school material or personal items from student lockers. Students who lose or damage locks/padlocks will be charged for replacement.

Loss of School Material

Students will pay replacement costs and administrative charges for any damaged or lost books to be eligible to take end of semester exams and receive report cards. No report cards will be issued to students who have failed to return books or who have not paid for missing books. In the case of students leaving the school, they must pay these costs prior to receiving any official school documents.

Personal Belongings

All personal belongings brought on campus must be appropriately labeled. This includes cell phones and calculators, etc.

Visitors

Students who have visiting relatives or friends and would like them to come to school to experience life at ASA need to request this permission in writing from the secondary principal. It is the school's responsibility not to interrupt the academic process, and therefore visitation may be denied or limited to certain hours (for example, coming on campus during lunchtime) or for a limited number of days.

Documentation

Occasionally, students will receive various documents that need parent revision and signatures. These documents, whether issued by the teacher or office need to be reviewed by the student with his parent or guardian and returned signed the following school day.

Failure to return documents the next day will result in a signed warning from the secondary office. Should more than one school day pass without the return of the documentation, the student will be internally suspended until such time as his or her parent or guardian comes to school to sign the document. Once the document is signed and returned, the student will be allowed back into class. All work missed during internal suspension follows the suspension guidelines found in the section concerning DISCIPLINE.
