District Parent Acknowledgment Statement

  • I understand that a student’s participation in a magnet program is a privilege. The authorization to remain in a program, once accepted, requires strict adherence to the Student Code of Conduct. Acceptance of a magnet program equates to a zoning exception for that program, even if the student is zoned to attend that school by address. The principal reserves the right to revoke a student’s participation in a magnet program and return the student to their zoned school (or in that school’s general program if the student is zoned to attend that school by their address) upon violations that meet the language in the Student Code of Conduct and/or the Board Policy 5120.04 that may result in revocation.

     
    Please review the following requirements for our magnet programs:
    • Academics - Maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.5.
    • Behavior - Maintain appropriate behavior as defined by the Alachua County Public Schools’ Code of Student Conduct.
    • Attendance - Maintain appropriate attendance as defined by the Alachua County Public Schools’ Code of Student Conduct.
    • Tardy Policy - Maintain on-time attendance. Five or more tardies per nine weeks is considered excessive.
    • Parent Involvement - Parent involvement is encouraged through parent/teacher conferences, chaperoning field trips, volunteering at school, and various other activities.
