District /School Progress/ AYP Status Due to the Increase in state “AYP” Requirements; Whitehaven Elementary School did not make (Adequate Yearly Progress) Teacher Qualifications Who’s considered a “highly qualified” teacher under “No Child Left Behind”? Any teacher in a core subject area who has a license from the state, holds at least a bachelor’s degree, and demonstrates competence in their subject area. All Teacher’s at Whitehaven Elementary School are highly qualified School / Parent/ Student/ Compact The Goal Of Our School Compact is for: Parents, school staff, and students to share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement via the jointly designed Home-School Compact Student Code of Conduct A Guide To Behavioral and Disciplinary Options Memphis City Schools (MCS) celebrates and rewards respectful, responsible behavior in its schools. The district believes that when students are aware of what is expected of them and the consequences of misbehavior are made clear, then the great majority of Memphis City Schools students will choose to act appropriately. However, when a student fails to meet expected standards of behavior, the student will be held accountable for his or her behavior. Student Code of Conduct Continued The MCS Student Code of Conduct enables a student to learn about expectations for good behavior and the intervention and disciplinary actions that may be taken following misbehavior. The examples of offenses listed in the Code of Conduct are not the only acts that may result in disciplinary action. Any act that disrupts learning and threatens the order and safety of students and the school environment will be considered for disciplinary action. Greater detail on MCS policies, rules and regulations that set standards for student behavior is available on the Memphis City Schools Web site (www.mcsk12.net).
