Magnet School Guidelines

Students are required to maintain the following standards to remain in good standing with the
elementary magnet programs:
Academic:
• Maintain an “70” or better in grades K-2 and a “C” or better in grades 3-5 in all classes.
• Be eligible for promotion to the next grade at the end of the regular school year.
At the end of the first semester, the student may be placed on probation if he/she has not met the
required standards.
At the end of the next semester, the student may be dismissed from the program if the required
standards still have not been met.
Attendance:
• No more than 8 unexcused tardies to school.
• No more than 8 unexcused absences to school.
Failure to meet this expectation will result in the student being placed on probation for the remainder
of the current
school year. The student/parent will be required to provide an excuse for all subsequent tardies or
absences according to Georgia State Rule JB and O.C.G.A. 160-5-1-10. Students who fail to meet
this expectation will be dismissed from the program.

 

 

In addition to the Code of Conduct, and
any applicable rules outlined by the Student's applicable program, the following expectations
apply to students:
• Students must adhere to the rules and regulations as outlined in the Clayton County
Public Schools Parent and Student Handbook.
• Students cannot receive a NI/U for conduct in their academic or theme-based courses.
• Two or more level 1 infractions can result in probation/dismissal.
• Students who receive NI/U or level 1 infractions will receive an Individual Behavior Plan
to support the student during the probation period.
• Level 2-4 infractions can result in immediate dismissal from the program. (Ex. Fighting,
weapons, drugs, gang activity, blatant disrespect to personnel, etc.) Dismissal from the
program/placement may result in immediate re-enrollment in student's home zoned
school for resident students or District withdrawal for non-resident fee-based students.
• Bullying: If the accusation of bullying is proven after an investigation from
administration, it may result in automatic dismissal from the program.
