After being sent home from school due to illness or experiencing a fever at
home, your child should not return to school until he/she is fever-free
WITHOUT the use of fever reducing medicine such as Tylenol and/or
Ibuprofen for at least 24-hours. This ensures your child is not contagious
and allows your child the time necessary to recover from illness symptoms.

Fever is a signal from the body that something is wrong; pay close attention
to any other symptoms your child may display. If children have runny noses
and low-grade fevers (under 101°F), it usually means they have a common
cold, while vomiting and diarrhea probably point to a stomach virus. In both
cases, the fever tends to come on gradually and to disappear within a few
days. Seasonal flu symptoms are different and often strike very suddenly.

Let your doctor know right away if your child complains of a sore throat, an
earache, or pain with urination, since these ailments could signal strep
throat, an ear infection, or a urinary tract infection, all of which may need
treatment with antibiotics. You should also check in with your Doctor’s office
if your child shows symptoms of dehydration, such as urinating less than
usual, or seems less alert than usual.

 Advanced Placement Student Contract of Understanding for Students and Parents

Thank you for your interest in Alcovy High School’s AP Program. You have expressed a desire to take one or more AP courses during
the 2018-2019 school year. Taking an AP course and the exam is a collaborative effort between you the student, your parent/guardian,
and the school. Advanced Placement is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools, colleges and universities, and
the College Board. It gives high school students exposure to college-level material through involvement in an AP course, and them
gives them an opportunity to show what they have learned by taking an AP Exam. Colleges and universities often grant credit,
placement, or both, to students who earn specific required scores on the exam. Each party plays a role in the success of the AP
program and must make the commitment to meet the expectations noted below.

The Student agrees to organize his/her time and effort to successfully complete the AP course in which he/she is enrolled. The student
will notify teachers immediately if he/she falls behind in class readings and/or assignments. The student will be expected to complete
assignments, readings and projects outside of class time—and to adhere to assigned due dates. Student will take responsibility to seek
resources to support understanding within the class. Individual integrity is a standard of excellence in AP. Unnecessary absences
should be avoided and students are responsible for acquiring “make-up” work. It is the expectation that the student will take the AP
Exam on its scheduled date and time as outlined by the College Board.

The Parent/Guardian agrees to be familiar with and accept the AP course requirements and policies, and to help his/her child organize
study time in support of class assignments. These classes are rigorous and challenging. Graded assignments are typically more
complex and individual tests cover a larger body of information. Compared to other courses there are relatively few graded assignments
which increases the need for adequate preparation each day.

The School (AP Teacher and AP Coordinator) agrees to provide rigorous instruction and challenging course content as described in
the AP Course Description. Instruction will be provided that prepares students for success in college level classes.

According to the US Dept. of Education, AP access is linked to success in college. It is more important than GPA or socioeconomic
status. Also, students who take AP classes and exams are much more likely to graduate on time. Only one in four students who enter
college completes a bachelor’s degree in four years. This can save parents from 8,000 to 27,000 dollars in college fees. 31 percent of
colleges and universities consider a student’s AP experience when making decisions about which students will receive scholarships.

Students who decide to take AP courses must understand the commitment they are making. Some AP courses have REQUIRED
summer assignments which will count as a grade. These are due at the beginning of the school year. Schedules cannot be changed to
remove a student from an AP class because the student decides the work is too hard or failure to complete a summer assignment.

Student Agreement

I have been informed of the rigor of AP classes. I have read the expectations and accept its academic challenges.

____________________________________ ____________________
Student Signature Date

Parent Agreement

I have read the course expectations, am familiar with the requirements and agree to support my child in his/her endeavors
in the course(s).
