AF Amistad High School Family Handbook 2017-2018 | 65 Integrity: implies that one is true to a trust; one adheres to a code of moral values. Social Responsibility: is demonstrated by adherence to policies of the institution, departments, labs, libraries and individual classes. As testament to their commitment and readiness to join the Achievement First Amistad High School academic community, all scholars are expected to uphold the Honor Code. At the time of admission scholars will certify the following statement: AFAHS Honor Code: “On my honor, this work is my own.” Operations of the Wolf Point System Each day, scholars are awarded “automatic Wolf Points” based upon their attendance that day. They then either add to that total (Wolf Points) or subtract from that total (Wolf Point Deductions) based upon their behavioral and academic choices that day. If a student earns five Level 1s or two Level 2 Wolf Point Deductions in a given day, they have detention the following day after school. Each week, scholars receive a Wolf Point Report on Thursday detailing how they did that week. Parents are strongly encouraged to examine these reports and request them from their scholar. Scholars who earn 90 or higher earn a school/college spirit day on Friday, in which uniform rules are relaxed to permit the wearing of non-uniform AF/AFAHS clothing or clothing with college insignia. Dress down criteria is differentiated by grade. One of the most important features of the Wolf Point system is that it does not follow a traditional daily schedule. A “Wolf Point Day” runs from 5:15 pm one day until 5:14:59 pm the next (with detention served the following day). For example, a detention earned before 5:15 pm on Tuesday would be served on Wednesday. A “Wolf Point Week” runs from Tuesday, 5:15 m until the following Tuesday at 5:14:59 pm. Reports are distributed to scholars during Wednesday lunch/study hall block advisory. Attendance and the Wolf Point System In the professional world, adults are paid according to their productivity and attendance at work. Each day a scholar shows up for school, they are given twenty (20) automatic Wolf Points for attending school. Similar to policies in the workplace around attendance, if a scholar doesn’t show up, even for a compelling reason, they will not receive the 20 automatic Wolf Points. In a similar vein, early departures can also result in consequences for scholars. The chart below articulates how scholars receive attendance-related Wolf Points and Wolf Point Deductions at AFAHS.
