Late work: Turning in late assignments loses its value as a learning opportunity because it is no longer aligned with what is happening in class. Please make sure to keep track of assignment due dates when turning them in. You will be given ample time to turn in assignments for full credit. I accept late work up to four days past the original due date. Late work is not accepted after four days including the weekend! Students will receive a zero for any assignment that is more than four days late. Please note that an assignment is considered late if it is not turned in at the beginning of the class period on which it is due. Absent students will receive extensions of the due date equal to the number of days absent. I hope this will encourage students to move towards responsibility, manage deadlines, and be better prepared for class.
- Arrive to class on time and prepared with all your materials, including pencils and/or pens, notebook, dictionary, textbook, and completed homework.
- Be in your seat and work on the "Bell Ringer" at the start of class when you arrive.
- Be respectful and courteous at all times.
- Do not disrupt the learning process.
- Participate in daily class activities which also include reading, writing, and speaking in Spanish. While I do not expect you to speak perfectly, I do expect you to try your best and to be prepared when called on.
- This class requires a lot of interpersonal communication and I expect that everyone will work together respectfully. I also expect you to listen quietly when I or others are speaking.
- Everyone is expected to clean up after themselves. Graffiti, improper waste disposal, or any other disrespect of school and individual property is not accepted in my classroom. We strive to maintain a clean and safe learning environment for everyone.
- Run your errands (bathroom, phone calls, locker, etc.) before you come to class. No one is allowed per school policy to leave the classroom during the first 10 minutes of class unless an emergency. Come prepared; bring all your materials to class.
Project-based learning is a significant portion of the grade in class. Scholars will be asked to do various projects throughout the year, with groups, partners, or solo. All project work should be done thoroughly and authentically by the scholar. Projects are generally worth multiple day’s assignments and check-in due dates are required. If within a group, work should be done equally. Consequences could include a zero being recorded for the assignment and possibly more.
ASK Academy scholars are expected to arrive on time (8:00AM) and be adequately prepared for their day. Please contact The ASK Academy on the website at: https://www.theaskacademy.
Uniform Policy
The Academy requires that all scholars wear a prescribed uniform.
Tops (Shirts) – All scholars must wear an ASK polo shirt, with the ASK logo, purchased from an approved ASK vendor. The color of the ASK polo shirt identifies the scholar with their selected career pathway. Polo shirts will not be overly baggy, nor exceedingly tight. Shoulder seams must be at the shoulders, and shirts cannot hang down below mid-thigh level. Middle School – Red or Light Blue High School – Biomedical Sciences – Dark Green or Purple Engineering and Design – Royal Blue or Burgundy Bottoms (Pants) – Allowable pants/slacks of solid color (khaki or black) and should meet our uniform expectations. They should be of a non-stretch, khaki or similar material. No shorts, skorts, skirts, cargo pants (pants with many pockets) are allowed. No excessive “sagging” is allowed. Inseam of pants must be where legs and torso join. Excessively tight pants such as spandex, yoga pants, leggings, sweat pants or other non-uniform fabrics are not allowed.
Footwear
Scholars must wear closed-toe shoes at all times at the Academy (no sandals, flip-flops, crocs, open back shoes, slippers, or shoes made out of foam are allowed). Please remember that our learning spaces have sharps, blades, power tools, solvents, and acids so adherence to this policy is a priority. No head wear Hats, bandanas, beanies, headbands with extraneous distractors, etc. including sweatshirt hoods, are not allowed inside the Academy. Exemptions for headwear that may be required for religious reasons will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Outerwear
Jackets will not qualify as a replacement to an ASK polo. Jackets may be worn as long as they have a zipper front and are not excessively baggy (shoulder seams are at the shoulders and cannot hang below mid-thigh level). When worn inside, jackets must allow full view of the ASK polo (be worn unzipped indoors). Scholars can wear sweatshirts and hoodies under, but not over the ASK polo. Please remember that the ASK polo is one of our layers of security. Clothing or jewelry that are determined to pose a risk to potential injury while in the learning environment will not be permitted. Attire or accessories which advertise, display or promote any drug, alcohol, tobacco, gang, sexual activity, violence, disrespect or bigotry towards any group, or items that are associated with a gang are not permitted. All attire should be suitable for a professional environment.

Calzado
Los estudiantes deben usar zapatos cerrados en todo momento en la Academia (no se permiten sandalias, chanclas, cocodrilos, zapatos abiertos, pantuflas ni zapatos hechos de espuma). Recuerde que nuestros espacios de aprendizaje tienen objetos punzantes, cuchillas, herramientas eléctricas, solventes y ácidos, por lo que el cumplimiento de esta política es una prioridad. No se permite el uso de sombreros, pañuelos, gorros, cintas para la cabeza con distractores extraños, etc., incluidas sudaderas con capucha, no están permitidos dentro de la Academia. Las exenciones para sombreros que puedan ser necesarias por motivos religiosos se considerarán caso por caso.

Las chaquetas no calificarán como reemplazo de las camisas requeridas por ASK. Se pueden usar chaquetas siempre que tengan una cremallera en el frente y no sean excesivamente holgadas (las costuras de los hombros están a la altura de los hombros y no pueden colgar por debajo del nivel de la mitad del muslo). Cuando se usan en el interior, las chaquetas deben permitir una vista completa del polo ASK (se deben usar con la cremallera abierta en el interior). Los estudiantes pueden usar sudaderas con capucha debajo, pero no encima, de las camisas de ASK. Recuerde que el polo ASK es una de nuestras capas de seguridad. No se permitirá ropa o joyería que se determine que representa un riesgo de lesiones potenciales mientras se encuentre en el ambiente de aprendizaje. No se permiten prendas o accesorios que anuncien, muestren o promuevan cualquier droga, alcohol, tabaco, pandillas, actividad sexual, violencia, falta de respeto o intolerancia hacia cualquier grupo, o artículos asociados con una pandilla. Toda la vestimenta debe ser adecuada para un entorno profesional.
