and must be made-up before students may return to their home campus.
If a student arrives late or departs early due to a doctor’s appointment, a
doctor’s excuse is required in order for the day to count toward the student’s

If a student departs early due to personal reasons, it is the discretion of the
principal as to whether or not the day will count toward the student’s
assignment.
Materials:
Students need to leave all personal belongings (including jewelry, watches, wallets,
etc…) and school supplies at home.
Searches
Upon entering the ACES classroom each day, students will be checked by the teacher or
the teaching assistant to determine if the student has any unnecessary items on them
when they arrive. If students are found with any unnecessary items such as personal
belongings / school supplies, they will be asked to do one of the following:
-
-
place the item(s) in a paper bag which will be sent home at the end of the
day.
if the student continually brings unnecessary items, argues, or tries to hide
items, the items will be confiscated and returned to the student at the end
of his/her ACES assignment, or a parent may personally retrieve the items.
candy/food items will be disposed of immediately.
electronic devices must be retrieved by a parent.
Dress Code
Students are required to follow the LISD dress code as well as meet ACES standards. If
a student’s attire does not meet dress code requirements, the ACES staff will attempt to
modify the clothing so that it might meet the dress code requirements. If the attire
cannot be modified, parents will be contacted to bring acceptable clothing or take the
student home until appropriate clothing is made available. Please make sure the
following dress code is followed at all times:
- Girls’ shirts must cover their stomach and back area when they
sit or stand.
- Boys must wear their shirts tucked into their pants.
-
-
All students must wear pants that stay up at their waist without the need
for the students to keep pulling them up. A belt may be worn. (Zip ties
will be provided if needed.)
Students are not allowed to wear a coats, jackets, or hoodies in the
classroom.
Students may not wear flip-flops or house shoes. All shoes must cover and
stay on the student’s feet at all times.
Class Rules:
1. Raise your hand and get permission before speaking or leaving your seat.
2. Disagree calmly. (Do not argue.)
3. Follow directions immediately.

property for any reason.)
5. Complete all work neatly and always do your best.

clean and in one piece.
Homework:
Students are not assigned homework but may earn homework. Students who do not
complete their work during the school day due to inappropriate behavior or failure to
participate in class will be expected to complete the work at home. A grade of zero will
be assigned until the work is completed and returned.
Daily Evaluations
Students will receive evaluations every day. The evaluation is an important form of
communication between parents, teachers and students because we work as a team.
Students are required to have their evaluation signed and returned every day.
- If a student forgets one evaluation, he/she will be given a verbal reminder.
- If on the second day the student still does not return the evaluation, the
teacher will contact the student’s parent.
- If the evaluation is not returned after the parent is contacted, the student
will earn a conference report and will be required to meet with Mrs.
Stephens.
Meals
Breakfast: Breakfast is served at no cost to students from 7:40 – 7:50. Breakfast is not
served after 7:50.
Hot Lunch: All students will eat the hot lunch, first choice. Students are not allowed to
purchase any special food items such as ice cream as this is a privilege that may be
earned by the student upon returning to their home school.
Sack Lunches: If a student chooses to bring a lunch, no soft drinks, candy or fast food is
allowed. Students who bring their lunch need to follow the same dietary guidelines as
those followed by the cafeteria.
Food Allergies: If your student suffers from food allergies, this information must be on
file in our cafeteria.
Medication
If your student takes medication during the school day, a medication form must be
filled out completely and signed by a parent/guardian. The medication must come in
the original container with the prescription on it. The container needs to contain only
enough medication for the time the student will attend ACES. Medication will be stored
in the nurse’s office and may only be distributed during the times and for the amounts
listed on the label. Notes from parents may not be used in place of a prescription label.
Counseling
An LISD counselor will provide individual counseling for students during their ACES
assignments if required by the home campus, is requested by parents, or deemed
necessary by the ACES staff.
Exiting Procedures
On the student’s last day at ACES, an exit form will be faxed to the student’s sending
campus. You may take you student to his/her home campus the next day. Please check
in the school’s front office on the first day in order to avoid any confusion.
