SLUH Student and Parent Handbook - St. Louis University High ...

Students on academic probation will be assigned regular, mandatory work with
the LRC.
M. Extended Time on Tests/Exams
A student who has been granted an extended time accommodation, based on
documentation of a special learning need provided to his counselor, will
receive up to an additional 50% of the regularly allotted time on timed major
tests. Because of classroom time limitations, students with this accommodation
may be tested outside of the regular classroom. Quarter and Semester exams
already include an opportunity for this extended time.
N. Sending Class Work Home
Students can be assured that in cases of a prolonged absence due to illness or
accident, teachers will always give the student every opportunity to keep pace
with his classes by providing assignments and giving the extra help needed
when the student returns to school. In cases of extended absences due to illness
or accident, the student's teachers should be contacted by e-mail or phone to
arrange for make-up work.
O. Communicating with Faculty
Powerschool is SLUH’s administrative database and faculty gradebook. Each
family is given a password to access Powerschool. Teachers should update
their grade book at least every two weeks. If there are any concerns, parents
should contact the teacher, counselor, or appropriate administrator.
All faculty members and administrators have SLUH voicemail boxes and email
accounts which are listed in the buzz book and on the web page
(www.sluh.org). Unless extraordinary circumstances exist, such as teacher
illness, your voicemail and e-mail messages should be returned by the end of
business on the school day following the day you leave a message.
Parent/Teacher conferences are held in November and April of each school
year.
P. Academic Honesty
In its attempt to instill Christian values and academic integrity, St. Louis U.
High stands squarely against cheating. As an attempt to pass someone else's
work off as one's own, cheating at its root is an act of dishonesty. It
compromises the integrity of those involved, destroys the community of
learning, and distorts the system of academic evaluation for students and
faculty alike. Widespread cheating fosters game-playing, pursuit of grades for
their own sake, and getting something for nothing-attitudes fundamentally at
odds with the school's desire to foster a genuine and enthusiastic love of
learning in an atmosphere of love and respect. While recognizing the strength
of both the temptations to cheat and the pressure to cooperate in cheating, the
