STUDENT ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY
The Learning Centre is a learning community, and students who are welcomed into this community have
both the privilege and responsibility of membership. In the Learning Centre, the students' responsibility
and active participation in their own school and learning experience is highly promoted and supported by
teaching staff. Students entering the Learning Centre will have demonstrated and communicated a
genuine desire to address the learning challenges they are experiencing. The Learning Centre serves as a
calm, quiet and productive space where students are motivated to learn in a supportive environment.
Students recognize it is their responsibility to place themselves in an environment where good
management and a productive work ethic is the norm.
**All students should be familiar with their roles and responsibilities as outlined in the Student
Handbook: http://cochrane.rockyview.ab.ca/students-1/student-handbook
ALTERNATIVE TO ZERO POLICY
If a student is absent when as assignment is given, he/she is accountable for completion of the work at a
time to be arranged with the teacher. It is the student’s responsibility to find out what assignments were
missed. Please be aware of the school’s attendance policy: http://cochrane.rockyview.ab.ca/publications/schoolpublications-1/Attendance%20Protocol%20Sept%202010.pdf/view
If you are going to be late to class, please inform the LC beforehand if possible. If a student is late more
that twice he/she will be required to make up the time missed. If a student is frequently late, that
student will be referred to administration for further action. A student’s attendance is central to success
in the Learning Centre.
ELECTRONIC USE POLICY
The LC values a productive working environment for all students. Electronic devices are ONLY permitted
for educational purposes. If these devices become a distraction to the student or others, they will no
longer be permitted for use in the Learning Centre. All students should be aware of the electronic use
