All Kinds Of Minds: Parent Toolkit

 

Kamehameha High School - Pookela

Po `okela is an additional line of intervention after a teacher has met with the student to provide assistance in completing assignments. It is an area that offers students a quiet and structured learning environment to complete work with help from English and Math coaches, EA's and other available faculty and staff.

Assignment Policy:
In support of our mission "to educate children and youth of Hawaiian ancestry to become good and industrious men and women," the following policy has been created:

Missing or Late Assignments:

Students who have a missing assignment will be given assistance. The steps in assisting the student are:

    • athletics/counselor is emailed a “warning”
    • a required study session with teacher (meeting time at teacher's discretion)
    • if the assignment is still not completed, the student can also be assigned to Po'okela Center until the assignment is completed.

If the missing assignment affects the grade by a deduction of a full letter, the teacher must contact the parent within 3 days of the initial due date.

For all missing assignments, a late penalty of 15% will be subtracted from the earned grade; assignments must be turned in within four school days.

After the four-day limit, students will not be allowed to participate in the next KS-related event, including athletics, clubs, and other extra-curricular activities.

A minimum of three late class assignments per quarter will require a Request for Assistance (RFA), a conference with a parent, student, counselor, APC and teacher(s). The student will be assigned to Po'okela Center until the work is turned in or is no longer accepted for credit.

A continuous pattern of missing/late assignments will be viewed as a “behavior” problem. The student will be referred to the principal or vice principal with a “Student Referral” (with attached RFA) for administrative intervention which could result in disciplinary action (i.e. conduct probation).

For extreme situations such as an extended illness, injury, or death in a family, teacher(s) will work out individual due dates with the student. This may also apply to Physical Education and the Performing Arts, in which the event or performance may be difficult to make up within a given time frame.

If a student is absent on the day that the assignment is due, the student must contact the teacher(s) via phone call or email to request an extension or to make alternate arrangements by 7:45 a.m. In the event of early release, pre-arranged absences, etc., all assignments are due prior to student's departure unless other arrangements were made with the teacher in advance . Otherwise, the penalty will be 15%.

Within the parameters of the recommended policy, teachers are free to employ strategies to support students and further ensure their success.
