FYHS Handbook - Flipbook - Page 18
Upon entering FYHS, all new students take placement examinations to
determine proper placement in either the Honors or Regular course. If a
student is placed into an Honors course, he will have the option, upon
consultation with his parents, to change to the Regular course at any point
until the end of the first quarter. The first quarter grade will be determined
through consultation of the academic staff. If the student does not opt to
change to a Regular course before the end of the first quarter, he must
complete the first semester in the Honors course. He then may have the
option of changing before the second semester begins.
All requests to transfer from one course into a totally different course
must be submitted within the first 10 school days.
TRANSCRIPTS
FYHS must receive approval from the business office for every transcript
request before it may be released. This includes student copies or those sent
to families, as well as colleges, funding sources, or other institutions.
DISCIPLINE
FYHS seeks to maintain a policy of effective discipline in every area of school
life without forfeiting the individuality of each student. This does not mean
that behavior must be rigid and regimented. However, when an individual
fails to conform to FYHS standards of behavior, we must take definitive
action to correct such behavior. A record of all disciplinary action will be kept
in the student’s permanent file. Notwithstanding, the consequences
identified in this handbook for specific infractions, violation of any rules in
this handbook or other FYHS policy or rule will result in disciplinary action.
Any student failing to respect the Rabbinic Authority and/or administration of
the school is subject to disciplinary action. Depending on the seriousness of
the offense, disciplinary actions may include detention, parent conferences,
lowering of grades, suspension, or expulsion from the school.
