6 Enrollment Process Students expressing interest in the Gateway Cyber Academy are expected to have basic computer skills and be willing to follow all Academy guidelines. Students must be able to manage their time and to work productively in a less restrictive learning environment. Gateway Cyber Academy, as part of its registration process, will review current transcripts and complete a diploma audit. A student may be declined enrollment if Gateway School District Staff determine enrollment in the Gateway Cyber Academy will not afford the student an opportunity to gain required credits and/or to meet graduation requirements in a timely fashion. Enrollment may be declined also if Gateway School District Staff determine Academy course options do not allow a student to continue his/her studies in a particular content area or course options do not match a student s career focus and/or special interests. Enrollment may be declined also for students who have pending disciplinary matters and/or for students who entered into legally binding agreements with the district in lieu of formal expulsion. Interested students and their parents/guardians must complete all district enrollment forms as a means of confirming residency and program eligibility. Upon receipt of registration forms and academic transcript, a representative of the Cyber Academy program will review all documents and confirm program eligibility based on progress made toward Gateway School District graduation requirements and current online course options. Once eligibility has been confirmed, the Gateway Cyber Academy Facilitator will contact each student to arrange an interview to discuss program expectations and guidelines and to discuss each student s online scheduling option. Each student should investigate the specific subject requirements needed for admission to post -secondary schools of his/her choice and/or course requirements specific to his/her area of career interest. Enrollment Process An orientation will be scheduled for those students/families who wish to finalize their enrollment in Gateway Cyber Academy. The orientation will cover topics relevant to login procedures, academic and technology support options, tips for online success, etc, It is anticipated that Gateway Cyber Academy students will review login procedures on August 20 th and August 21 st and begin their studies from home August 24,

7 Progress Monitoring and Minimum Login Time Gateway Cyber Academy Staff will review student login time on at least a weekly basis. Interventions will be offered at the discretion of staff based on login and performance data. However, students who continue to demonstrate a lack of commitment to their cyber studies may be referred to the local Magistrate in consideration of truancy charges and/or withdrawn from the Gateway Cyber Academy. The student must log in everyday 5 days a week and progressing adequately, passing grades in classes. If a student is 17 or older and misses10 consecutive days he/she will be removed from GHS. Self-reflection is an integral component of the monitoring process. Students will be challenged to consider the following: 1. Pacing: Are you behind, at pace or ahead? Adjust your online time accordingly. 2. Attendance: You need to work consistently - that means EVERY DAY. 3. Performance: Are you passing or performing at the level needed/expected. Progress Grades Students/parents will receive progress reports via , therefore, progress reports will not be mailed home at midpoint. If you ever have a question or concern you can contact the cyber facilitator at any time. is the main form of communication used between the cyber facilitator and the parents/students. It is used to send out pertinent information regarding student progress and all updates related to the cyber academy. All parents and students must have an account and check it regularly. Students should communicate with teachers/waterfront learning staff/cyber director in a positive manner. Students will be warned one time and could be removed from cyber academy if improper communication continues. Course Parts Courses are broken up into quarters. It is a student s responsibility to tell the cyber facilitator if a course part (quarter) has not been added to student s account. 7

8 Extra-Curricular Participation Students enrolled in the Gateway Cyber Academy will have an opportunity to participate in Gateway extra-curricular programs consistent with students who are attending Gateway School. Gateway Cyber Academy students who participate in district-sponsored, extra-curricular activities are subject to academic and attendance monitoring as per district, WPIAL, and PIAA policies and procedures. Gateway Cyber Academy students will be held to the same level of review based on the district s Code of Student Conduct as Gateway School students, and participation and/or attendance at district-sponsored activities may be revoked at the discretion of Gateway School District Staff. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the coach and find out when all games and practices are. Internet Safety The Gateway School District along with the Allegheny Intermediate Unit will make every effort to maintain a safe learning environment for all students. All laptops are provided with basic Internet content filter and are locked to prevent students from downloading other programs. It is an assumed role of the parent/guardian to monitor his/her child as online studies are being completed in the home. A record of sites visited and account data will be archived, and Gateway School District staff reserve the right to review live use and archived records. Cyber Bullying 249. BULLYING/CYBER BULLYING The Gateway Board of School Directors is committed to providing all students with a safe and civil school environment in which all members of the school community are treated with dignity and respect. Students who are bullied, harassed, intimidated or fearful of other students may not be able to take full advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the school district. Bullying/Cyber Bullying and harassment can also escalate into more serious violence. To that end, the school district has in place policies, procedures, and practices that are designed to reduce and eliminate bullying/cyber bullying and harassment, as well as processes and procedures to deal with incidents of bullying/cyber bullying and harassment when they occur. This policy is in effect while students are on property within the jurisdiction of the school district; while on school-owned and/or school-operated vehicles; while attending or engaged in school-sponsored activities; and while away from school grounds if the misconduct directly affects the good order, efficient management and welfare of the school district. Students who file a bullying/cyber bullying complaint or who have assisted or participated in any manner in a bullying/cyber bullying investigation may not be retaliated against. 8

9 Bullying/Cyber bullying shall mean unwelcome repeated and systematic harassment and attacks on others by means of verbal, written, electronic, or physical conduct. Bullying/Cyber bullying can take many forms and can include many different behaviors, such as: 1. Physical violence and attacks. 2. Verbal taunts, name-calling and put-downs. 3. Emotional bullying/cyber bullying, i.e. spreading rumors, ridiculing, manipulating social relationships. 4. Threats and intimidation. 5. Extortion or stealing. 6. Racially or ethnically based, or gender based verbal abuse. 7. Spreading false information about a person. 8. Cyber bullying. Characterizations of bullying/cyber bullying: 1. It is aggressive behavior or intentional harm doing. 2. It happens when one or more persons with more power unfairly and intentionally hurt someone with less power; the hurt may be physical, social, or emotional. 3. It is carried out repeatedly and over time. The school district will not tolerate any acts of bullying/cyber bullying occurring on school district property, at school-sponsored activities scheduled on or off school grounds, or during the time students necessarily spend traveling to and from school or school-sponsored activities, or transmitted in any way through school computers, networks or equipment. Additionally, events that include on-line activities that have a negative impact on the school environment whether the student is using school resources, or not, shall be considered as a nexus to the school environment. Specifically, online activities, cell phone transmission, chat rooms and any other form of online communications shall be included and encompassed by this policy. 9

10 Each staff member shall be responsible to maintain an educational environment free of bullying and cyber bullying. Each student shall be responsible to respect the rights of his/her fellow students and to ensure an atmosphere free from all forms of bullying and cyber bullying. Students shall be encouraged to report bullying or cyber bullying complaints to district employees. Teachers and other staff (including, but not limited to, secretaries, custodians, bus drivers, hall monitors, etc.) who observe acts of bullying/cyber bullying shall take reasonable steps to intervene to stop such conduct, unless intervention would threaten a staff member s safety. The nature of the intervention will vary depending upon the age of the student (both the victim and aggressor), the severity of the bullying/cyber bullying and the student s involvement in prior acts of bullying/cyber bullying. The purpose of the intervention is to take prompt remedial steps to ensure observed acts of bullying/cyber bullying cease and to teach students that bullying/cyber bullying is not acceptable behavior. If teachers and/or other staff cannot reasonably remediate acts of bullying/cyber bullying through their own intervention, they should report the bullying/cyber bullying to the building principal. Other school employees who observe acts of bullying/cyber bullying shall report that conduct to the building principal. The building principal or his/her designee will inform parents/guardians of the victim and person accused. Gateway is committed to providing a safe and bully-free learning environment. All suspicions and/or incidents should be reported to the Gateway Cyber Academy Program Facilitator who will investigate and address per Gateway School District policy. Options (Blended and Forbes) The Cyber Academy offers a full range of options. Students can enroll full time, part time GHS and part time cyber, or part time Forbes and part time cyber. Gateway School district does not provide transportation to or from Forbes Technical School for Cyber Students. It is the responsibility of the parent. Students are not permitted to drive to Forbes unless granted official permission. Students requesting blended cyber schedules must have transportation to/from school. No one is permitted to walk (unless designated by the district). The District follows Pennsylvania Public School Code

11 Additionally, students scheduled in blended cyber programs (1/2 GHS and 1/2 cyber) have official permission to leave school at specific times. Students must leave the building immediately at dismissal time, and are not permitted to remain in the building. Add/Drop Students can drop/add courses within the first 9 days of the course. Students will receive a failure withdraw for any course that is dropped outside of that window. Return to GSD Requested/approved returns to GSD will be accommodated at the next quarter or semester break. However, based on graduation requirements and grade-level status, administration may approve returns at semester break only if they deem an adjusted return date to be in the best interest of the student. School Calendar Gateway Cyber Academy students will begin classes on Monday, August 24, 2015 and will follow the district's official school calendar. GCA students will NOT be expected to participate in online studies on designated 'off' days: No School September 7 October 12 November 3- No School K-4 November December 23-January 1 January 18 January 19 February 12 February 15 March April 26 May 30 Last day of school-june 2 Academy students must login daily and maintain full participation on all designated school days. If they do not, they will be marked absent by the Academy Program Facilitator. * Seniors may exit the Academy program prior to June 2 (or the last designated school day for students), based on individual completion of all district graduation requirements. Academy online studies will be extended in accordance with any/all days added to the Gateway School District official school calendar as the result of cancellations. Academy class meeting times will NOT be adjusted based on Gateway School District delays and/or early dismissals. However, Academy classes will be canceled when Gateway High School classes have been canceled due to inclement weather or other circumstances that might warrant cancellation at the discretion of the Gateway School District Superintendent. 11

12 Academic Records Gateway Cyber Academy embraces the philosophy that courses should be rigorous enough to prepare students for college, and program guidelines must meet standard NCAA requirements. All credits earned in the Gateway Cyber Academy Program will be recorded as part of each student s official Gateway High School transcript. Program enrollment will be coded by homeroom assignment and course section number ONLY in the district s internal student database. Transcripts will NOT reflect Gateway Cyber Academy Program enrollment. The Gateway Cyber Academy Facilitator, in consultation with members of the Allegheny Intermediate teaching staff, will record course grades based on content and skill mastery. Report cards will be issued to Gateway students on a quarterly basis, consistent with Gateway High School reporting procedures. If a student receives an incomplete on his/her report card, course work must be completed within three weeks after the end of the term to avoid receipt of a failing grade. Quarter 4 will not have this extension. Cheating The following rules apply when a student resorts to cheating on an assignment or test: 1. Students copying from another student's test or homework assignment will receive a 0% grade for the test or assignment. 2. Students bringing and using unauthorized information in any form on a test will receive a 0% grade for the test/assignment. 3. Students receiving stolen test information will receive a 0% grade for the test/assignment. 4. Students stealing, distributing, or using unauthorized tests or any other such major form of cheating will receive a 0% grade for the grading period in the subject(s) involved. 5. Plagiarism - According to the Modern Language Association, plagiarism is defined as the act of using another person's ideas or expressions without acknowledging the source. It is the false assumption of authorship: the wrongful act of taking the product of another person's mind, and presenting it as one's own. Simply, it is creating the impression that your writing is original when, in fact, you have taken another individual's work and presented it as your own. 6. Plagiarism is unacceptable and a violation of school policy and, therefore, is subject to the following disciplinary action. Students who submit work that is proved to be plagiarized will receive a 0% for the project. 7. Any student caught cheating more than one time in a given course will fail for the year. 12
