The Student Responsibility Plan is a detailed outline of the specific goals that determine student accountability. These
goals are determined in the Academic Improvement Plan meeting and are agreed upon by the student, parent, and
Administration. Review of these goals will occur formally at each reporting period for the duration of the Academic
Improvement Plan.
The Academic Support Plan is a detailed plan that identifies the areas of support the student needs in order to be
successful in achieving the goals outlined in the Student Responsibility Plan.
The areas of support may include both in-school and out of school interventions that are agreed upon by the student, parent
and Administration. Students will not be eligible for co-curricular activities in the first term of their Academic Improvement
Plan. A review of the Academic Improvement Plan at the next reporting period may lead to the modifications of the plan
(including eligibility) which will be based on student achievement of the goals of the plan. A student will be in violation of the
Academic Improvement Plan if they maintain “D” or below on subsequent report cards. Students in violation of the Academic
Improvement Plan will meet with their parent and an administrator to review the student’s goals. If a student demonstrates
improvement on the subsequent report card, “C” or above, they are meeting the terms of the Academic Plan and will not meet
with administration to review the student’s goals. A student who demonstrates improvement for the duration of the Academic
Improvement Plan will no longer be tracked in the Academic Improvement Plan process.
REVIEW OF ACADEMIC IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Students who do not meet the terms of the Academic Improvement Plan will meet with school administrator to review the plan
or to determine whether the AUS academic environment is appropriate for the student based on whether or not the school
support network and the student’s efforts are successful. During the review meeting it will be determined if the student is
showing interest and application as a member of the AUS community. During the Administration’s review, the Academic
Improvement Plan will be tailored to the student’s academic achievement and learner development. Expectations will be set for
students based on need and the expectation that all students meet the academic standards of the High School program.
Enrichment Period
Enrichment Period was developed to give students 45 minutes of additional time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the
school day for assistance in core classes in which they were experiencing academic problems. Math, English, Science, and Social
Studies teachers are required to request students who have below a C average in their class to work with them during
Enrichment Period. Non-core teachers also have the opportunity to request students to work on various projects and
performances. Priority is given to core subject teachers.
