A student and their family can be assigned additional support for low progress, poor class attendance, low assignment submission, socioeconomic need, learning coach training need, health concerns, or for any other non-academic concerns that may affect school performance.
You will receive an email from your student’s Advisor notifying you of the recommendation for additional services. Soon after, you will be contacted by the appropriate support services team member via email or phone call. Please respond to this communication within 24 hours to confirm receipt and to begin receiving assistance. Participation is required in most cases.
Students must earn 12-15 badges within the 3-week period for successful completion of probation and to return to good standing. If students earn between 8-11 badges, students can be eligible for possible appeal and badge counts start over. The Probation Appeal Plan will allow up to 3 additional weeks with minimum weekly badge requirements. Students are only eligible for one appeal per academic school year. Failure to reach twelve (12) Badges, after the appeal term expires, will result in Administrative Withdrawal from CASC. The student account may be locked at that time. If a student is referred for a third (3) Probation Plan, the student will immediately be withdrawn due to lack of continuous engagement.
· Teachers, advisors, and administrators frequently communicate important updates and reminders via email. It is important that these communications are read and responded to.
· Required testing communications will come by email.
· Required conferences such as advisor support, individual graduation planning meetings, and other meetings will be communicated by email.
· Following
the badge plans above is a good standard for all students. However, your
student’s individual needs may require additional requirements for success.
Your advisor will work with you and your student to determine the best path to
success.
