Middle Level Academic Plan for Success
1)A list of middle level students that are failing one or more classes will be generated at the 5, 10, 20, and 30 week marking period. Parents will be notified if their child is failing classes.
2)At the 1st-5 week marking period, students will gather in the auditorium with Mrs. Devins. She will review the Academic Plan with students. If a student is failing 2 or more academic subjects (Math, Social Studies, Science, ELA) the student will be placed on the Restriction List. While on restriction, students are not allowed to participate in or attend any school activities (sports, plays, concerts (unless it is credit-bearing) class outings, dances, etc.), they will have a loss of library privileges (unless they obtained a pre-signed pass from a teacher to work on a project) and they must attend an academic study hall every Tuesday after they receive notice they are on restriction until the end of that 10 weeks. The academic study hall is in the Middle Level Office on Tuesdays.
3)Mrs. Devins will meet with each student who is failing 2 or more subjects and review the
restrictions and the plan to help the student bring the grades up.
4) At the 10 week point, the 1st quarter report card will go out to parents.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
We have been informed by your child’s teacher(s) that your child is failing one or more classes during this last marking period. Attached is a copy of the improvement plan that your child and their teacher(s) has agreed to. It is our hope that this improvement plan will be followed and that your child will work through these academic difficulties.
As long as they continue to honor this agreement, we are confident that their grade will improve and they will remain eligible to attend extra-curricular activities, be members of teams and clubs, or attend school functions. However, if they fail this plan, they will be restricted from participation of any clubs or teams and will not be allowed to attend any after-school functions for the balance of the marking period ending on ______.
At the conclusion of the restriction period, we will once again monitor their grades and reactivate their improvement plan and their eligibility, giving them a fresh start to continue to work through their academic difficulties. If they are passing all classes, no improvement plan will be necessary and all restriction will be lifted.
If you have any questions, please call your child’s teacher(s) or if you have question for me or would like to set up an appointment, please call the school at 529-7324 ext. 120. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Cathy Devins
Middle Level Principal
