Learning Guidelines and Expectations for Students, Parents/Guardians, and Guests 

Welcome to the After-School All-Stars (ASAS) community!

The All-Star community of staff, students, and parents all need be aware of and model behaviors and attitudes that keep us focused on learning and connecting. The following All-Stars Learning Code of Conduct is a reference for all members of the ASAS community.

Take a moment to read through the following code of conduct for staff (or students/parent/guardians/external ASAS guests). Further information and detailed policies and procedures may be found in the ASAS Learning Operations Manual. The goal of this guide is to:

1. Inform you
2. Prepare you
3. Protect you
4. Keep you safe & healthy!

SAFE & HEALTHY

As an organization, we have established and continuously improve policies, procedures, and practices that equip staff to provide a positive learning environment, while keeping youth safe and families informed. The ASAS Safe and Healthy initiative was designed to establish and maintain socially, emotionally, and physically safe schools and classrooms for ASAS students throughout the school year.

We have developed guidelines and expectations for staff, students, parents, and volunteers to accept and adhere to.

As an organization, we believe it takes a community of positive adults to help youth thrive in any social and academic environment. As After-School All-Stars transitions to a virtual learning environment, we are asking the community of parents, guardians, ASAS staff, community partners, and other stakeholders to uphold a safe and healthy culture and climate by understanding and adhering to the following expectations:

• ASAS will develop “Learning Plans” for parents and caregivers so they know what to expect and are comfortable with policies set by the organization. ASAS will establish roles and responsibilities of students, teachers, and parents, guidelines for online learning, attendance goals, interaction expectations, content and timing, and other specifics of the learning experience.

• ASAS will look to communicate with parents and caregivers involved by educating them on how ASAS staff and their children will be using selected online platforms.

• ASAS learning classes and activities will align with our school and district partners’ policies for online learning, including the use of “live” virtual instruction.

• ASAS staff will be dressed in required ASAS uniforms, and students should be dressed appropriately.

• Remind students that school/classroom rules apply to a classroom just as they do the physical classroom. No taking or posting images/video of classmates and instructors to the web or to Social Media without permission.

Please review the following Codes of Conduct carefully. More in-depth explanations can be found in our Programming Operations Manual. Initial each item, sign, and date, and return to the ASAS contact listed for your city and/or school site. For additional questions, please contact your designated ASAS program leadership staff for further information or to get help completing and signing the code of conduct that applies to you.

Thank you once again for supporting a positive, safe, and healthy virtual learning experience for staff and students of the After-School All-Stars program.

Student Code of Conduct

ASAS participants are expected to practice personal safety and respect for others as they learn and connect with the All-Star community of teachers and students.  It is important for parents/guardians to review these expectations with their children to help youth own the responsibility of being good digital citizens during this virtual learning experience. After-School All-Stars considers our parents and guardians as partners in helping youth acquire positive online habits and behaviors. 

ASAS students are required to abide by the conducts listed below. Youth who do not follow these expectations may be subject to being excused from class on any given day, or depending on the severity of the behavior, may be permanently separated from the program. Parents/Guardians are asked to discuss this code of conduct and expectations with their student.

• ASAS students should be dressed appropriately. It is encouraged that they dress as if they were attending school.
• ASAS students must respect the learning environment. ASAS students should use respectful language at all times (both spoken and written). Profanity, hate speech, derogatory remarks, name-calling, and other such behavior will not be tolerated. ASAS students should not post anything that could hurt others or have a negative effect such as images, someone else’s social media postings, or inappropriate chat messages.
• Cyber-bullying (e.g., name-calling, sending mean, intimidating, or threatening messages via chat or text, sending anonymous messages) is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. Students who are perpetrators of bullying behavior will be asked to leave the day’s class or may be suspended from the ASAS program.
• ASAS students should not give out personal information (e.g., address, cell phone number, email address, full name) to anyone online while in ASAS virtual programming.
• ASAS students should never arrange to meet in person with ASAS staff or any other adult interacting with them during their virtual learning classes/activities.
• ASAS students should protect their virtual learning passwords such as Zoom or Google Classroom. They should not give them to anyone outside of parents/guardians.
• ASAS students should develop good digital citizenship skills when being online. They should be careful about opening ads or e-mail from unfamiliar addresses.
• ASAS encourages students to join virtual classes with video; if uncomfortable with sharing video, please reach out to programs staff prior to class to confirm your identity.
• Students may eat on camera as long as it does not distract from the virtual learning.
• Students must respect others’ voices when others are sharing/talking.
• Students should feel free to move around and utilize flexible seating during class as long as it is not distracting to others and students feel they are able to focus.
• Students must not take screenshots, pictures, or recordings of virtual classes.

Rules and Agreements for student behavior apply to our virtual learning environments. Behavior problems are recorded in writing and plans for corrective action are noted. Parents are notified if an inappropriate behavior persists.

• If a child continually misbehaves, ASAS staff may separate the child from the program.
• If a child acts in a way that creates a risk of harm and/or health to themselves and anyone else, ASAS may immediately separate the child from the program. 

I have read the above Student Code of Conduct and am aware of the conduct required of my child as an ASAS participant. I also understand that youth actively involved with any negative or harmful actions and/or behaviors listed above are subject to suspension or dismissal from the ASAS program.

Expulsion Policy

NAME OF CENTER: _____________________

Unfortunately, there are sometimes reasons we have to expel a child from our program either on a short t_erm or permanent basis. We want you to know we will do everything possible to work with the family of the child(ren) in order to prevent this policy from being enforced.

The following are reasons we may have to expel or suspend a ch,ild from this center:

Immediate Causes for Explusion:

• The child is at risk of causing serious injury to other children or himself/herself.
• Parent threatens physical or intimidating actions toward staff members.

Parental Actions for Child's Explusion:

• Failure to pay/habitual lateness in payments.
• Failure to complete required forms including the child's immunization records.

Schedule of Explusion:

If after the remedial actions above have not worked, the child's parent/guardian will be advised verbally and in writing about the child's or parent's behavior warranting an expulsion. An expulsion action is meant to be a period of time so that the parent/ guardian may work on the child's behavior or to come to an agreement with the center. The parent/guardian will be informed regarding the length of the expulsion period and the expected behavioral changes required in order for the child or parent to return to .the center. The parent/guardian will be given a specific expulsion date that allows the parent sufficient time to seek alternate child care (approximately one to two weeks' notice depending on risk to other children's welfare or safety}.Failure of the child/parent to satisfy the terms of the plan may result in permanent expulsion from the center.

A Child will Not be Expelled if a Parent/Guardian:

• Made a complaint to the Office of Licensing regarding a center's alleged violations of the licensing requirements.
• Reported abuse or neglect occurring at the center.
• Questioned the center regarding policies and procedures.
• Without giving the parent sufficient time to make other child care arrangements.

Proactive Actions that can be Taken in order to Prevent Explusion:

• Try to redirect child from negative behavior.
• Reassess classroom environment, appropriateness of activities, supervision.'
• Always use positive methods and language while disciplining children.
• Praise appropriate behaviors.
• Consistently apply consequences for rules.
• Give the child verbal warnings.
• Give the child time to regain control.
• Document the child's disruptive behavior and maintain confidentiality.
• Give the parent/guardian written copies of the disruptive behavior that might lead to expulsion.

  parent/guardian to discuss how to promote positive behaviors.
