AFT STUDENT CODE OF BEHAVIOR AND RELEASE FORM
Dress: I understand that appropriate dress, neatness, and cleanliness are expected of all students. Any article of
dress that
distracts or draws unfavorable attention or threatens health or safety is considered out of order.
Inappropriate dress may result in
the student being sent home and counted absent for the day. Appropriate dress
will be strictly enforced for specific activities such
as practice teaching days.
Attendance: I understand that –in order to receive my stipend - I am expected to attend and participate fully in all
AFT activities
and to be on time to every scheduled class. Absences are strongly discouraged with no more than one
permitted. I understand
that more than one absence could revoke my stipend. I will communicate early and provide
notice and/or documentation around
any absence.
Late Arrivals: Any student reporting to AFT after 8:30 AM is marked tardy. Three tardies constitute one absence. I
understand
that AFT may revoke my stipend for the equivalent of more than one absence. Extended tardies also
put my stipend at risk.
Early Dismissal: Students are expected to schedule all appointments after 1:00 pm. Because of field trips and
activities all over
ASU, students may not be available for pick-up on short notice. A note must be given to the Team
Leader prior to or on the day
of the early dismissal along with a parent/guardian signature and a guardian working
telephone number for verification. Any
student who leaves program activities prior to instructor dismissal and
without permission may be withdrawn from the AFT 2018
with no further warning and will lose their stipend.
Stipend: I am aware that there is a $150 stipend associated with my successful completion of the AFT 2015 program.
This
stipend is paid only to students who attend according to the rules, participate in all activities, complete
assigned work, and
provide necessary documentation.
I understand that I am expected to behave in accordance with school rules and regulations on and off campus. Rules
around
consumption of food/beverages and gum in the classroom will be set by the instructor. Serious misbehavior
such as disrespect to
faculty and staff, use of obscene language, cutting classes, gambling, leaving class or school
without permission, carrying or
possessing knives and/or other weapons, and deliberate acts of vandalism, will result
in withdrawal from the AFT 2018.
I agree to turn off my cell phone, I-Pod, I-Pad, and any other electronic item during ALL AFT classes and AFT events. I
will be
given breaks during the morning to check calls and messages. AFT faculty and staff have final authority
around use of these
devices and may collect and retain them until class is dismissed without further warning if they
are a distraction to me or those
around me.
I understand by submitting this application, I agree to the above code of behavior and release form.
