AF Amistad High School Family Handbook 2017-2018 | 71 Independent Study Center (ISC) Students are only placed in ISC with the express permission of one of the Deans or Principal in situations in which they are removed from class. Teachers may not place students in ISC without confirming this with a member of the leadership team. Students can be removed from class and placed in ISC for any Level 3 infraction or by accruing repeated Level 1 and Level 2 infractions in a single class. Students can also be placed in ISC if they are unable or unwilling to be in full uniform for the day. If a student is in ISC for uniform reasons, they may leave ISC immediately after being able to “fix” their uniform issue. Students are allowed to use the phone to call parents to bring them missing items only if they are in ISC for a uniform violation. Expectations for ISC Students are expected to adhere to the following guidelines while in ISC:  All coats and backpacks must be hung up on the provided hooks  Students must sit in the assigned seat to them  Students must work or read at all times. The work given in class that day is provided to all students in ISC. If a student completes all of their work, Independent Reading books are provided for students.  Students may not sleep or put their head down  Students may not use cell phones or other electronics  Students must remain in as close to full uniform as possible. Students may not shed uniform items while in ISC.  Students must ask to use the restroom and are provided with a pass at the discretion of the ISC Coordinator If a student receives five Wolf Point Deductions in ISC for misbehavior, the student will be sent home for the day, and will be asked to “redo” the day in ISC the following day, as repeated misbehavior in ISC constitutes gross insubordination. Parents will be notified if this has happened, and will be expected to provide transportation for their child. If the family cannot provide transportation, the scholar will not be permitted to come to school for the subsequent day, so that he/she may serve the mandated suspension. If a scholar is able to anticipate that they will be placed in ISC (e.g. they skipped detention on Tuesday so they know they will have ISC on Wednesday), they are still expected to show up in full uniform and may not “dress down.” If a scholar dresses down in anticipation of being in ISC, the scholar’s parents will be called and asked to bring a change of clothes. If they are unable, the scholar’s day will not “count” and they will repeat the following day.
