Sun Langauge School

The following rules for student conduct on school buses are expected by the School
Administration’s policy. All students riding School buses are expected to follow these
rules. Failure to do so may result in suspension from bus riding privileges. Bus behavior
reports will be utilized by the bus matron of the School. The purpose of this report is to
inform the school of a disciplinary incident involving the student on the school bus, which
may have jeopardized the safety and well-being of students. For disciplinary reasons, a
student may lose his/her bus riding privileges for part or the rest of the school year, as
determined by the principal.
1. All students shall remain well back from the roadway while waiting for the bus. They should not approach the bus to board until the bus comes to a complete stop.

12. Students are expected to ride only their regularly scheduled route and shall get on and off only at their regular bus stops. The school must first agree to the request to change the usual place

The departure of students:

1 - Parents have to pick up their children from school personally and if they cannot, theymust send a representative to do so. Parents must inform the school personally and sign a release form.
2 - Students involved in the school bus are handed over by the teachers to the bus matron.
3 - If a parent cannot pick up his child after 2:40 pm, the student can wait in one of our facilities with a supervisor and wait until 3:30 pm.

Students are required to be in school by 7:30 to 7:45, after that a better excuse,
or a parent must call the school in order for the student to be allowed to enter the school.
In case of tardiness for the morning line, the student will perform the line-up
exercises during the break period and will not be allowed to attend the line-up on this morning.
In case of tardiness for the first session until 8:00 am, the student will complete
what was missed in the first period during the break period and will not be permitted
to attend the first session.

 First: parents will be informed. This may occur twice and not more than that.  Second: if tardiness past 8:00 occurs more than two excuses will not be accepted and the school will be forced to refuse the student and the parents will be called to meet with the department head to discuss the issue. Definition of Excused Absences Sun Language School’sRegulation defines excused absences as those due to
temporary illness or injury, and any other reason deemed acceptable by the
Principal. The Principal has the authority to determine whether an absence is excused or unexcused. Excused absences include:
1. Temporary illness or injury.
2. An absence which is approved by the administrator of the school.
3. Extended absences due to physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. Documentation from the care provider is required.
4. Emergency, serious illness or death in the family.
5. Medical and dental appointments which cannot be scheduled outside the regular school day. Documentation from care provider is required.
6. Extremely inclement weather.
7. An absence resulting from participation in a work/study program, field trip or athleticcompetition under the supervision of the school, the MOE, or international approved events.
Absence for excused reasons:
Parents are asked to call the school office to report that their child is sick. A
student who has a fever is to remain at home until the temperature has returned
to normal for 24 hours.
Students are expected to attend classes when school is in session. Requests to be
absent are to be made to the school principal in writing or by telephone early,
before the absence occurs. This procedure gives opportunity for the school to
reflect to the parents the possible effects of the absence and/or together make
some alternative study arrangements. Knowing class work and assignments ahead
often enables the student to turn in made-up work when he/she returns. Homework
not turned in by the due date will normally receive a reduced or zero-percent (0%)
grade. Students whose work is marginal should be aware of the possible
consequences of missing school—such as poor or non-passing grades. In most cases
simply completing homework missed may not result in as high a grade since vital
classroom participation is missed.
If a student's unexcused absences exceed (10) days in a semester, a
recommendation for termination of enrollmentبالفصل may be made by the Principal
to the Chairman / Vice Chairperson of the school.
