ASSESSMENTS

12

State Testing for Adult Students

Santa Rosa Adult School follows the same course re-

quirements and state assessments as those required in

the K-12 system as per s. 1003.4282, F.S. (24 credit

option) and s. 1002.3105, F.S. (18 credit ACCEL op-

tion). However, some exceptions apply:

• Students who enter an AHS are not required to

take the EOC assessment for Algebra 1 if credit

for this course was earned and documented on

their transcript prior to 2010-2011.

• Students who enter an AHS are not required to

take the EOC assessment for Biology 1 and/or

Geometry, if credit for these courses was

earned and documented on their transcript prior

to 2011-2012.

• The EOC testing schedule is generally available

yearly at http://www.fldoe.org/asp/schedule.asp.

• All students taking U.S. History beginning 2012-

2013 must take the U.S. History EOC asses-

ment regardless of cohort year.

To determine graduation requirements for AHS stu-

dents who are enrolled in the K-12 educational system,

the following shall apply:

1. Students entering AHS, whose 9th grade cohort

group has not graduated, must meet the graduation

requirements based on the year that the student en-

tered the 9th grade. The following chart can be ac-

cessed at http://www.fldoe.org/bii/studentpro/grad-

require.asp.

13

2. Students whose cohort group has graduated must

follow the graduation requirements as listed in the

chart from page 9 in the link below. Students

entering AHS after their 9th grade cohort has gradu

ated, or who are not part of a 9th grade cohort (from

another county, never entered high school, etc.),

must meet the current 12th grade cohort graduation

requirements that are in effect for the year they en

ter AHS. Note: For students who are continuously

enrolled from the time that they withdraw from the K-

12 system and enroll in adult education, they will

follow the requirements of their 9th grade cohort.

Pages 7-10 from the link below will include the re

quirements for graduation based on the year a stu

dent first enrolls in AHS, including testing/state as

sessments information.

GUIDANCE

The Santa Rosa Adult School Guidance Department is available to provide a variety of student services. The certified school counselors assist students in obtaining a realistic understanding of personal strengths and needs in order to make proper choices concerning their education. The Guidance Department works cooperatively with federal, state, and local service agencies for referral purposes.

Florida Virtual Campus A very valuable website for information on Florida colleges

(links to colleges, locator maps, admission requirements, ad-mission applications, college costs, degree program searches, degree program requirements), financial aid, career planning, Bright Futures evaluation, transcripts (high school and college), etc., is www.flvc.org.

College and Career Testing Information Entrance exams are used to determine acceptance and place-ment at the college level. Based on your scores, you may have to take remedial college classes before you can begin your ac-tual college degree courses. This is why it is very important to learn as much as you can so you can do well on these tests. Our high school code for SAT/ACT registration purposes is 101176, and the SRHS ACT test center number is 225520.

SAT SAT registration and info can be found at https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat.

The PERT The PERT (Postsecondary Education Readiness Test) is a test comprised of three subtests which will assess the academic skills of students in the areas of reading, writing, and mathe-matics. The three subtests will consist of 30 questions each. Students will need to do some serious review and preparation in order to successfully test into college level coursework. PERT scores will be used for placement in appropriate English and math courses at Pensacola State College. A study guide and sample test questions are available at the following web-site: http://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/5592/urlt/0078248-pert-studentstudyguide.pdf. A test preparation area is availa-ble on the PSC campuses for students to practice online test-ing prior to the day they actually test on the PERT. A PERT Math score of 97 may also be used as a concordant score for the Algebra 1 EOC state assessment, as allowed by State Statute (subject to change due to new state legislation).

DISCIPLINE CONSEQUENCES When dealing with unacceptable student behavior as defined by

the Student Code of Conduct, consequences available to school

administration include, but are not limited to the following:

• Student Conference;

• Parent Conference (co-enrolled students under the age of 18);

• Behavior Contract;

• School Intervention Team Review; and/or

• Administrative Withdrawal

The level of discipline need not be progressive and may involve

one or more of the above actions depending on the severity and

frequency of the student’s behavior. In addition to the discipline,

if the health, safety, or welfare of a student, staff, or the admin-

istration is at issue, Administration may contact the Santa Rosa

County Sheriff’s Department or other appropriate law enforce-

ment officials.

DUE PROCESS Due process in education requires that a student is given notice of

what allegation is being made against him/her and that the student

is given an opportunity to be heard regarding the allegations. The

initial due process is usually at the school where the incident oc-

curred. The Principal or his/her designee provides the student with

information regarding the incident, and the student is provided with

the opportunity to respond. After considering the student’s re-

sponse, the Principal or his/her designee makes a decision on disci-

pline. This level is informal. Subsequent levels of due process may

involve the School Intervention Team, the Superintendent, or the

School Board. At each level the procedure becomes more formal

and the student is apprised of the procedural safeguards.

SCHOOL INTERVENTION TEAM PROCEDURES

Adult Student Discipline

Individuals governed by this process are adult education students,

16 years of age and older, who no longer participate in the second-

ary educational program.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE AND CONSEQUENCES

18

In addition to the process below, Administration reserves the

right to temporarily remove any student from the program and/or

campus at any time when doing so would restore a safe, produc-

tive, and orderly learning environment.

Informal Discipline Process:

Santa Rosa Adult School’s Informal Discipline Process begins

with a referral for a discipline infraction by Santa Rosa Adult

School faculty or staff. Depending on the seriousness of the in-

fraction, intervention by a school Administrator may be warrant-

ed. Most infractions are resolved at this level. Some infractions,

however, may be egregious enough to be escalated to the For-

mal Process.

Formal Discipline Process:

If an infraction has reached this level of correction, the student

will meet with Administration and may be temporarily removed

from the program and/or campus until the SIT (School Interven-

tion Team) can review the allegations.

Procedures for Formal Discipline:

1. Notification of discipline issue (written referral, email,

phone call, etc.).*

2. Student will meet with Administration.

3. All parties involved must offer a written statement of

events within one (1) business day.**

4. Administration will investigate the allegations and may

choose to take additional statements from witnesses.

5. The SIT will meet to review all statements (the faculty or

staff member and student will be invited to the meeting to

represent themselves and share additional information).

6. The SIT will render a final decision in writing to Administra-

tion.

Administration will notify the student of the final recommenda-

tions of the SIT. If the recommendations are to withdraw the stu-

dent, Administration will notify the student in writing that they

have been administratively withdrawn from the program.

19

* Good faith attempt will be made immediately to contact the

parent/guardian of co-enrolled students under 18 by telephone.

** Any notice of time delay in the process must be supplied in

writing and/or email to all parties involved. The SIT will meet

within five (5) business days to review documentation. It is the

goal of the SIT to bring all discipline issues to a close within five

(5) business days.

DISCIPLINARY INFRACTIONS The following are excerpts from the more specific Code of Stu-

dent Conduct published by the Santa Rosa County School

Board. All Santa Rosa Adult School (SRAS) students are re-

sponsible for knowing, understanding, and following the full

code. All student discipline issues will be resolved using the full

code of conduct. Students may be dismissed from school for

unsatisfactory conduct involving any of the following violations

and/or other conduct as shown below:

Computer Usage: Students must follow the following com-

puter usage rules at all times:

1. Students must have a current district Acceptable Use

Disorderly Conduct: Any act or disruptive behavior that substantially disrupts the learning environment.

Drugs and Alcohol: The possession or use, manufacture, furnishing, or sale of any narcotic or dangerous drug con-trolled by federal or Florida law is prohibited.

FERPA NOTIFICATION

Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) Notification—Student Records

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Florida Statutes (F.S.) 1002.22 and 10022.221 afford par-ents, guardians, or eligible students certain rights with re-spect to student education records. These laws protect the accuracy and privacy of students’ education records. Stu-dent records are confidential. An “eligible student” means a student who has reached the age of 18 or who is attending a post-secondary institution at any age. Once a student be-comes an “eligible student,” the rights afforded his or her par-ents under FERPA transfer to that student. For additional information, please visit the Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) site link at www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco. Par-ents, guardians, and spouses of adult students must have the adult student’s written permission to inspect and review any and all official records. Parents/guardians of co-enrolled students 17 years of age or younger may re-view their child’s records upon request. A paper copy of FERPA rights is available upon request. It is the policy of the School Board of Santa Rosa County to offer the opportunity to students to participate in appropriate programs, services, and activities without regard to race, col-or, religion, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy, disability, political or religious beliefs, national or ethnic origin, or genetic information. If a student feels he/she has been discriminated against, the student may appeal by using the procedure and form approved by the District School Board and available in the Principal ’s office within 60 days of the alleged occurrence.

NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY

26

Appeals: Students who believe that they have been dis-criminated against by an employee, volunteer, agent, or stu-dent of the School District are encouraged to make reasona-ble informal efforts to resolve any grievance. Those who are dissatisfied with an admission decision or have a complaint are also encouraged to utilize the student appeals procedure. Whenever informal talks with a certified school counselor fail to resolve the matter, the following procedure is to be used in reporting and settling and grievances: 1. Complaints are to be forwarded, in writing, to the certified school counselor. 2. The written complaint shall contain a complete description of the alleged violation. 3. Within 10 days, the certified school counselor shall inves tigate the grievance and report results of the investiga tion, with recommendations in writing, to the principal. 4. If the applicant does not agree with the decision of the certified school counselor, the decision may be appealed to: a. The Principal of SRAS b. The Director of Workforce Education c. The assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Intruction, and Assessment d. The Superintendent of Schools e. The Santa Rosa County School Board f. The Florida Department of Education g. The Office of Civil Rights Santa Rosa Adult School has a School Advisory Council made up of students, teachers, administrators, community members, and parents. This Council meets four time per year. All meetings are open to the public, and meeting de-tails will be posted on the SRAS website— https://sites.santarosa.k12.fl.us/sras.

SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL

Fire Drills: In compliance with the state Uniform Building Code, Chapter 6A-2, the following procedures will be adhered to during the fire evacuation drill:

1. Teachers and students will be alerted by a series of three (3) short bells to evacuate buildings in an orderly manner and proceed to the designated area.

2. Students are to stay with their class and teacher until the drill is over.

3. Students outside classrooms are to move to the nearest classroom and report to the teacher.

4. When possible, turn off all power equipment (such as fans), which would tend to spread the fire.

5. Stay together as a class and move to the designated evacu-ation area.

6. Answer roll call.

7. Remain orderly and pay attention to instructions from the teacher.

8. Students will re-enter the building with class after the drill is over.

EMERGENCIES

28

Shelter In Place (Code-S): 1. LOCKDOWN: Bring everyone into the room. Shut and lock

the door.

2. Turn HVAC Off: Turn the Heating and Air Conditioning sys-tem off (including the fan).

3. Seal the room: Unless you are directed to an alternate shel-ter-in-place location outside of the classroom, use duct tape and plastic sheeting (heavier than food wrap) to seal all cracks around the door(s), windows, and any vents (HVAC) into the room.

4. Individual Protection: Place a wet handkerchief or paper tow-

el over your nose and mouth if there appears to be air con-tamination within the shelter (for temporary respiratory pro-tection if available).

5. Student Accountability: The teacher or person in charge will write down the names of everyone in the room.

6. Do not allow anyone to leave the shelter until given the “all clear.”

7. Listen for an official announcement, and stay where you are until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate. Local officials may call for evacuation in specific areas at greatest risk in the community.

29

Lockdown Drill (Code L): In the event of an incident requir-ing the school to be locked down, students must closely follow the following procedures: 1. When with a teacher or staff member:

• Follow all instructions from staff closely.

• Remain extremely silent

2. When not with a teacher or staff member:

• Immediately move inside a building and take instructions from staff.

• If the first building you try to get into is locked, immediately find a covered and concealed location to hide. Remain hidden and silent until released by staff.

Tornado: When the announcement comes over the intercom, students are to proceed in the following manner: 1. Follow the teacher's instructions. Students outside class-

rooms are to move to the nearest classroom and report to the teacher.

2. Report to the assigned evacuation area as instructed by teacher.

3. Remain orderly and stay with their assigned class. 4. Assume the proper crouch position until the teacher gives the

all-clear signal. * Students on the SRAS main campus will follow the directions of their instructor.

Remember: A tornado watch means that conditions are fa-vorable for the formation of tornadoes. A tornado warning means that an actual tornado has been spotted.

Other Drills: Other drills will be planned throughout the year to familiarize students with the proper procedure to follow in differ-ent emergency situations not requiring an evacuation.

Teachers who are working in isolated locations will use available information to determine when an emergency procedure is nec-essary and will contact local authorities to determine when the situation has ended and student release is appropriate.

30

To prevent injuries on campus, please observe the following safety rules: 1. Students must not run or horseplay on campus.

2. Students must not climb on railings, chairs, tables, etc.

3. Students must observe the 15 mph speed limit on campus 4. Students must be cautious during the day and night in the parking lot areas and while driving. 5. Students must not “peel out” in the parking lot. 6. Unsafe conditions must be reported to a teacher or adminis- trator. This may include slippery walkways, damaged rail- ings, parking lot issues, etc.

The program provides the opportunity for adults to en-roll at any time during the year and includes prescriptive plans to help meet individual needs. All students registering for the ABE Program are required to take the TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) and will be placed at appropriate work levels as indicated by test results. The program’s goals are to increase academic skills and help prepare the student for the High School Equivalency Test (GED® test) or other postsecondary options.
