Directions for Referring a Student to Turning Point Academy

• Principals should complete the checklist in full.
  
  Student Referral Checklist - pdf file
  
  
• Principals should place all documents in a file to be given to J. Fleisher.

• Students will not be accepted with an incomplete file from the checklist. 
  Please be sure the file is complete in order to avoid a student being sent back to the
  home school until completion of the file.

• Principals should notify J. Fleisher as soon as they know they will refer a student.

• Principals should call J. Fleisher while the parents/guardians are at the home school
  during the change in placement notification meeting.  An orientation meeting at
  Turning Point Academy will be scheduled at that time.

• J. Fleisher will maintain a running list of slots used/open for each school.

• Students will have a C avg. or better, 90% attendance rate, and meet behavior
  expectation in order to transition back to the home school.

• Principals may want to inform students of the following before the student reaches
  the point of referral to Turning Point Academy:

• Males are required to wear shirts with collars
• We do not allow book bags (we do allow the little drawstring packs)
• We do not have the same elective choices
• Students are not allowed to be dropped off until 8am
• Students must be picked up by 2:45pm (1pm on Wed)
• Students will be scanned and bags checked every morning
• Students who exceed the allowable absences will have to apply for a waiver
• We follow the same guidelines on cell phones
