Common use of Special Circumstances Online Program Clause in Contracts

Special Circumstances Online Program. The Special Circumstances Online Program is a pilot program beginning in the 2019-20 school year. Similar programs have already been established at a large number of MAIS and SAIS schools. Presbyterian Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx Collegiate, and Woodlawn Prep have had several students participate annually in their program over the last few years. Special Circumstance Students are defined as students that are intellectually capable of succeeding at a high level but have special needs or circumstances that can not be met by the schools fulltime on-campus program. Current Canton Academy students are not eligible to participate in this program as none have situations that would be deemed as a special circumstance. If that were to change the student’s change in circumstances would be evaluated as if they were any student applying for a special circumstance. The Admissions Committee would then decide if said student qualifies to be admitted into the Special Circumstances Online Program. Once admitted Special Circumstance Students are considered to be a part of the overall student population and should be treated as such with respect to academic honors and awards. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES ONLINE POLICIES AND PROTOCOLS • Parents of students with possible special circumstances are required to have an interview with the Canton Academy Administration to ascertain as to whether the situation is considered a special circumstance. • Parents should submit all information required by the school per normal admissions requirements. If the student has an established learning disability, all testing information is to be submitted. An interview with the student’s tutor/xxxxxxx is also required. If the student has allergies or health concerns that would prevent the student from being on campus fulltime, it is required that medical records and documentation from physician indicating a need for a special circumstance be submitted. The Canton Academy Admissions Committee will decide if the student is approved for admission to the school’s Special Circumstance Online Program after reviewing student’s records, recommendations, and interview results. Special Circumstance Students are required to pay same tuition and fees as other students. If the student participates in the Directed Studies Program the family will be responsible for that fee as well. The MAIS sets the online calendar from August 1st to July 31st , however Canton Academy sets it’s academic calendar separately ( August through mid - May ) and its online students will be expected to complete their classes during that time. However, in the event there is a serious illness or unexpected family emergency, the student can appeal for extra time. MSNET must be notified by the School Counselor 4 to 5 days in advance of the date the class was to have been completed. Also, a $50 fee by the family will be required to be paid per MSNET policy. The student and their xxxxxxx need to notify the School Counselor if they feel there needs to be an extension. Absolutely no classes can be extended for more than an extra month ( mid -January or mid- June ). Extension of online classes should be a rare occurrence, the exception not the rule. • For the 2019-20 Academic Year only a total of three Special Circumstance Students will be allowed to attend CA due to staffing constraints. • For Special Circumstance Students that wish to participate in athletics, the MAIS requires that these students be enrolled in four online core classes the entire time they are participating. In other words, they can’t begin the season with four core classes and then drop one or more midway through the season. Likewise, in order to maintain eligibility, the student must meet all school requirements related to eligibility. These students are also required to pass four core classes within an academic year to be eligible to participate the following year. These students must also complete four hours of online work on any day of competition. The Xxxxxxx is expected to report to the Athletic Director and School Counselor if this requirement is not met. • All Special Circumstance students are required to take their elective classes on campus in a regular classroom environment so that they may better assimilate into the school culture. They are also expected to follow the uniform policy while on campus. • All Special Circumstance Students are required to take their online class tests on the campus of Canton Academy under the supervision of their xxxxxxx.
