Lanyard Protocol
We have implemented a lanyard protocol at IA.
Students, your lanyard should be on your person (not backpack) and visible at all times. Even if you do not have a picture ID for your lanyard yet, please carry your lanyard holder.
9th Graders – You should only be using a red lanyard provided by the school. You can use a different lanyard AS LONG AS it is SOLID RED.
10th – 12th Graders – You should be using your pathway lanyard. If you lost your pathway lanyard, please use a lanyard of your pathway color or the blue lanyard provided by the school.
- Green – Healthcare
- Blue – IT
- Yellow – Engineering
If you forget your lanyard, report to the front desk OR second floor of the eXchange or third floor of the eXchange to check out a temporary pass. This pass MUST be returned.
If you do not return the temporary pass or continue to forget your school-issued lanyard, there will be disciplinary consequences.
Attendance Policies & Procedures
Continuous Enrollment Policy
Enrollment
Based on the course of study, it is essential that students remain enrolled in FCS IA. Students with a break of enrollment for any reason will not be eligible for return.
Attendance Requirements
- The student must maintain an attendance rate of 90% or higher
- The student must not have more than ten late arrivals or early checkouts per year Medical reasons may be approved by administration
Students who do not meet these requirements will have an administrative review, and the student may be placed on probation or removed from the magnet program and returned to the student’s zoned school.
Any extended absence should be pre-approved by the principal or the principal's designee to avoid being placed on probation.
Make-Up Work Policy
Students should refer to the syllabus and teacher for the make-up work policy for the class they are taking.
However, here is a general guideline for make-up work at IA.
Missing Work
Students will have equal number of days they are absent to complete any work or take any assessments for full credit whether the absence is excused or unexcused.
Missing work will be labeled in Canvas with a zero and comment of Missing. that will reflect a zero in the gradebook until it is completed. The zero will be put in within two days of the absence to ensure parents and students can see their accurate grade in Canvas.
Please check the classroom syllabus to determine the due date to submit missing work for partial credit.
Late Work
If a student is present in class and does not turn assignments at the end of class as required, the assignment will be considered late.
If a student does not turn in their work from an absence or make up an assessment within equal number of days they are absent, the assignment or assessment will be considered late. All late work should be turned in by the end of the unit.
A deduction of 10 points will be applied to all late work.
Until the late work is turned in, a zero will be in Canvas. A comment of Missing will be added. Once the work is completed, the zero will be removed, the grade will be entered, and a flag of Late will be added in Canvas.
Off-Campus Permission Request Form
Virtual Period Change Request Form
Pre-Approved Absences
Students need to submit a Pre-Approved Absence Form for college visits, important family events, important religious holidays, or non-school academic-related event.
Important family events does not include vacations.
Per Fulton County School Board Policy Code JBD:
“Students/families must formally request for students to be absent for family events or other pre-approved absences. These requests should be made five school days in advance of the absence. Schools should create their own procedures to collect and approve requests for absences related to family events and/or other pre-approved absences. Only the principal or assistant principal(s) can approve these absence requests.
Before approving these requests, school administration should consider the student’s complete attendance record including excused, unexcused, disciplinary, or other absence types. The school administration should also consider the student’s academic standing before approving these absences.”
Please click HERE for a copy of the pre-approved absence form.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please email IAattendance@fultonschools.org.
