GRADING SCALE Grades 1 - 8

ATTENDANCE
The calendar for the Immanuel school year is planned in accordance with the calendar of the Freeport School District. We conform to the requirements of the state in regard to the number of school days.
Regular attendance is absolutely necessary if the student is to achieve success in school. It is not only important for the student's academic success but also builds proper attitudes toward job responsibility. Absences because of emergencies or illness will be excused. All other absences should be discussed with the teacher in advance.
All absentees must be called in by the start of the school day by a parent or guardian. The office will contact the home, if no call is received.

Tardiness is disruptive. Any student not in his/her seat at the bell is considered tardy.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Through various physical activities, the development of the body complements the academic and spiritual growth received at Immanuel Lutheran School. All students participate in physical education. Older children wear P.E. uniforms in an effort to foster modesty and proper hygiene.

Immanuel Lutheran School also has an athletic program as an extra-curricular activity. Through competition, the program benefits the physical, mental, social and spiritual needs of the student.

Immanuel Lutheran School participates in the Rock Valley Lutheran League which includes soccer, volleyball, basketball, cheerleading and track. These extra-curricular activities are available for boys and girls from grades 5 through 8. There is a minimal user fee. Sports are coached by volunteers under the guidance of the athletic director.

For behavior, which is not in harmony with the policies or intentions of the school as a Christian institution, the school reserves the right to discipline and, if necessary, to suspend or to ask parents to withdraw their child.

Prior to this drastic action, attempts will be made to solve the difficulty through teacher-pupil discussion. The policies found in the discipline code will be followed step by step.

Generally, the teachers are responsible for the discipline in their classrooms or special activities such as Art, Music, Quest, etc. Teachers are to post rules in their room. The supervisors are also the authority people in the cafeteria, playground, buses, etc. We have enlarged our policy to address what will be the logical consequences if the problem becomes too blatant or repetitive.

Parent support of the discipline policy with further corrective measures at home should reinforce the school’s message that the child needs to improve behavior. The school reserves the right to require appropriate counseling and testing. New and re-entering students are on 30 days probation.
