WELCOME TO PAISLEY
A Rigorous International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for 6th through 10th Grades
Dear Paisley Students,
Welcome to Paisley IB Magnet School for 2010-2011. We’re glad you’re here! Paisley has a tradition of academic excellence and integrity. As a faculty and staff, we’re committed to providing you with the knowledge and skills you need to be successful – not just in school, but in life as well.
The most important relationship in a school is the one between a student and his or her teacher. Strive to demonstrate to your teacher that you are committed to doing your best every single day in class and at home. Come to school prepared, bringing your materials, your homework, and a positive attitude. When you need help, be sure to let your teacher know. Also, get to know your guidance counselor and other adults in the building. They want to help, too.
It’s also very important that you include your parents in what’s happening at school. Let them know about the projects you have to complete. Get them to help you study for quizzes and exams. Just as important, make sure they know dates when assignments are due. You need to complete your agenda every single day – recording all assignments, so your parents can help you. Of course, teachers will be posting assignments on-line as well.
As you start the school year, you may have friends you’ve known from previous years and you’ll also make new ones. Try to reinforce each other’s good habits. That will help you have a happier and more productive school year.
Also, besides working hard and developing positive relationships, it’s important that you GET INVOLVED! Whether its chess club or debate, art club or student council, Science Olympiad or athletics, students who get involved at school do better academically and generally feel better about being in school. The more you give of yourself to organizations and groups in the school, the more you will get from your school experience!
Finally, work on committing the Paisley Promise to your actions and words. At Paisley we will strive towards the following: “Be in the right place, doing the right thing, at the right time, with the right people!”
Best wishes for a successful year.
Sincerely,
Gary Cone, Ed.D.

A Rigorous International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for 6th through 10th Grades
COMMUNICATION WITH THE SCHOOL
In order to meet the needs of our students as fully as possible, it is essential that the home and the school make every effort to communicate openly and frequently. At the school, we shall endeavor to meet this need through our reporting procedures and formal parent teacher communication.
Each Wednesday students will take home a packet with team or school information, graded tests, graded quizzes, and graded reports for parents to review and sign. Progress reports are sent home every three weeks. Teachers may request that parents sign and return classroom materials. The signed information coming back to the school should be returned on Thursday inside the packet.
parent assistant
Parent Assistant is a user-friendly Web application to help parents and families become more involved in education. Parents can check their child’s homework assignments, attendance reports and grades from any computer, any time. Parent Assistant is a computer-access program that helps parents track their children’s progress in school. The program allows for easy communication between parents and teachers. It also allows parents to update their child’s personal information and family contacts.
AGENDA BOOK
All students must purchase as part of their school supplies an Agenda Book. Students will be required to write homework assignments for each class each day in the Agenda Book. In the sixth grade, teachers will check to see that assignments have been written correctly. We do this to help students keep track of homework.
HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework is a requirement of the IB Program. The time and amount of homework should increase with the student's grade level.
Homework serves to:
• Reinforce the present day's lesson
• Prepare for next day's lesson
• Reinforce acquired skills and develops study habits
• Help develop a sense of responsibility
• Prepare students to face the demands presented through life
• Teach students independent learning
• Incorporate available materials and media in the home: books, magazines, newspapers, television.
HOMEWORK WEBSITES
The Homework Website is for students and parents to check homework assignments in case they forget to take home their agenda book. It will also help parents check to make sure that all work assigned has been completed. Teachers will be sending home information about their web sites at the beginning of the school year. To access the school website go to .
PROMOTION
For promotion from grades 6, 7 and 8 students must pass three (3) of the four (4) core subjects each year: Language A, Math, Science, and Humanities. Students must pass 75% of all their other courses.
In addition, students must meet the end-of-grade test requirements set by the State to be promoted. 8th grade students must meet State proficiency requirements to be promoted to the 9th grade. The student must score at Level III or Level IV on the End-of-Grade tests.
When students enter 6th grade the expectation will be that they remain in the program for five years. To do so, students will need to have successfully completed Algebra I and a minimum of two years of a foreign language. Students also need to be prepared to take honors level courses in 9th and 10th grade, and demonstrate the characteristics of the IB Learner Profile.
GRADES
A student's grade will be determined by assessment rubrics, performance on tests, quizzes, projects, reports, class work, class participation and homework. In Physical Education a student's grade will be determined by participation, skills tests, research based projects, fitness tests, written tests and other assignments. A student's conduct CANNOT be a factor in determining a student's grade.
A student who receives an incomplete on the report card will have two weeks into the following quarter to make up the work.
Each quarter grade will count 25% of the final year grade. If the course is a semester course, the quarter grade will count 50% of the final grade.
For High School Students: The End-of-Course Tests (final exams) will count 25%. This includes EOC courses taken in Middle School (Algebra I, Geometry, Language B - grade 8, and Integrated I, II & III).
The following grade scale will be used to determine grades.
100 Point Scale
A 93-100
B 85-92
C 77-84
D 70-76
F 50-69
I Incomplete
The following point scale will determine semester and final grades.
4 Point Scale (Middle School Only)
A 3.5 - 4.0
B 2.5 - 3.4
C 1.5 - 2.4
D 0.5 - 1.4
F 0.0 - 0.4
Honor roll
Students with an overall quarterly average GPA of 3.0 (with no Ds or Fs) will earn Honor Roll recognition. Student who earn Honor Roll status are recognized quarterly.
MAKE-UP WORK
Make-up work will be completed promptly. It is the student's responsibility to meet with teachers regarding make-up work. Students will have one (1) day to complete make-up work for each day's absence. Failure of a student to satisfy make-up requirements can be the basis for denying credit for a specific course.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS
All teachers expect students to complete assignments on time. Grades will be reduced by one letter grade if turned in late unless other arrangements have been made with the teacher. Failure to complete assignments will result in a grade of zero.
Student Services
School Counselors provide programs and one-on-one help in areas related to academics, personal and social growth, and career exploration for all IB Middle Years students. Programs are planned for classes, small groups and individuals.
Crosby Scholars, PSATs, WFU Project Launch, Duke TIP Program, and course registration are just a few of the programs coordinated through Student Services. Other services include providing transcripts, recommendation letters, and driver’s education certificates.
Student Services is open from 7:30-4:00 PM. Students can drop by with permission from their teacher or make an appointment.
LOCKERS
Lockers are provided for students to store their books and coats during school hours. Lockers are property of Paisley IB Magnet School and are subject to search at any time by school officials.
EARLY DISMISSAL
If a student has an appointment and needs to leave school early, the student should remain in class until the parent arrives in the Main Office to sign the student out. The student will then be called to the office to leave.

CLEAN SWEEP
Dear Parents and/or Guardians:
After education, our first priority at Paisley IB is the safety and supervision of your student. One key element is the importance of picking up students on time after school. The following applies to all students grades 6 – 10.
Following our 2:40 daily end-of-class, most students either take a bus or have been picked up by 3:00. However, many students wait daily for their rides, some as late as 4:00 and after. Faculty and administrators must supervise all students until they depart school property. We take this responsibility seriously, and we need your help!
We understand that periodically, your schedules and distances from the school may delay arrival until 3:00. If that’s the case, please make alternate transportation arrangements (car pool, bus, etc…) or use one of the following after-school care options:
1. If your child is eligible for Magnet Express bus service (contact Mr. Burton for details), you may pay $3.00 per day and your child may stay in room 104 from 2:40 until you are able to pick up him/her (not later than 6:00).
2. If your child is not eligible for Magnet Express bus service, you may enroll him/her in our regular after-school care (located in the inner cafeteria), which is $7.00 per day (also from 2:40 until 6:00) and includes snack and planned activities.
Either way, your child will be supervised until picked up. If you need after-school care and need financial assistance to participate in after-school care, please contact Mrs. Cheek in the main office.
To insure supervision of students who remain at school waiting for transportation, the School Improvement Team has adopted the following plan:
Students at school after 3:10 p.m. without staff supervision in an approved activity, will be escorted to a classroom and allowed to call home (the room # will be posted by the front door of the school.
Students will stay in the designated room until 4:00, at which time they will go to the office to continue attempts to contact a parent/guardian.
After 4:00 p.m., students who have not been picked up will be charged $3.00 per day for the supervision of their child. For students who continue to not be picked up by 3:00 and are not enrolled in after-school care, we will examine other options, including regular assignment to a bus that leaves immediately after school.
Clubs, Tutoring, Sports
Each day, after school is dismissed, teachers and other staff serve many students as club sponsors, coaches, and tutors. Through their hard work and dedication, our students receive many enrichment opportunities. When students stay after school for a planned event, it is important that their parents are here to pick them up when the event is over.
Teachers and staff are expected to stay with their students until the last child is picked up. When the activity is finished, teachers will walk to the front of the building with their students. Please be respectful of teachers’ time and be waiting for your child at the front of the building when the activity is finished.
Coaches have been instructed to stay after practices and games until the last participant has been picked up. Pick up for athletics is in the back of the building or at the practice field – not the front of the building.
By far, most of our students are picked up when they need to be. We just need your help to keep your children in a safe, supervised situation at all times while they’re at school. If you have any circumstances that hinder you from picking up in a timely manner, please make alternate transportation arrangements or make an appointment to see Dr. Cone.

Under NCHSAA Policy, a high school student who is convicted of, pleads guilty or no contest to a crime classified as a felony or is adjudicated a delinquent for an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult is not eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics through the end of the student’s high school career. In a like manner, a middle school student will be declared ineligible through the end of his/her middle school career. If the student is charged with a felony but is convicted of, pleads guilty or no contest to a misdemeanor, the student will be suspended from extra-class activities and athletics for up to 90 school days or the remainder of the athletic season depending on the severity of the crime.
Aggravating and Mitigating Circumstances. When considering the appropriate sanction for specific student conduct, the principal, assistant principal, or teacher should consider the following circumstances. In addition, any other circumstances which are related to the offense and which are reasonably related to the purposes of discipline may be considered.
A. Aggravating factors to be considered include, but are not limited to:
1. blatant disrespect for authority,
2. inducing others to take part in the prohibited behavior or occupying a position of leadership or dominance of other participants,
3. attempting to flee or conceal guilt or to cast blame upon an innocent party,
4. receiving money or something of value from the misbehavior,
5. victimizing a significantly younger or smaller student or a mentally or physically disabled person,
6. taking advantage of a position of trust or confidence to commit the offense,
7. committing the same or similar offense (during the student’s grade span),
8. having other disciplinary issues this school year,
9. causing serious injury to another;
10. the misconduct was associated with gang activity; or
11. the victim of the misconduct is a teacher or other staff member
B. Mitigating factors to be considered include, but are not limited to:
1. being an elementary school student,
2. having no history of disciplinary problems,
3. having a significant amount of time pass since the student's last disciplinary problem,
4. having the parent(s) of the student cooperate with the school and share in the imposition of disciplinary measures at home and at school,
5. being a passive participant or playing a minor role in the offense,
6. reasonably believing the conduct was legal,
7. acting under strong provocation,
8. aiding in the discovery of another offender,
9. making a full and truthful statement admitting guilt at an early stage in the investigation of the offense,
10. displaying an appropriate attitude and giving respectful cooperation during the investigation and discipline process,
11. making appropriate restitution, or
12. having the parent(s) and/or student participate in counseling.
III. Repeat Offenders. Middle or High school students who persistently violate the Code of Student Conduct and commit 10 or more offenses (other than solely attendance offenses, such as being tardy and skipping), accumulate 10 days of short term suspensions or accumulate a combination of suspensions and offenses (so long as attendance violations are not more than 50% of the offenses) that total 10 in a school year for Level II and III offenses may be recommended for an alternative school assignment. Middle school students may be assigned to the Millennium Academy at Kennedy Learning Center. Middle and High School students may be assigned to an Alternative Learning Center (ALC) at their regular school if one so exists. Assignment to the Millennium Academy is subject to the approval of the Assistant Superintendent for Middle Schools. Students may be assigned to an ALC by the Principal, but such assignments are subject to review by the appropriate Assistant Superintendent. Assignments to ALCs are for up to ninety (90) school days. Students may be re-admitted to the regular school program if they have no unexcused absences, exhibit exemplary behavior and satisfactorily complete all school work and homework assignments. If a student continues to commit Level II and III offenses at the Millennium Academy, in an ALC or upon return to his/her regular school or classes after an assignment to the Millennium Academy or ALC, a subsequent offense may be treated as a Level IV offense. If, after assignment to Griffith Academy, a student commits a Level II, III, and/or IV offense, such may be treated as a Level V offense. Students are required and expected to follow specific rules and consequences for behavior set forth at school system alternative programs.
IV. Confiscation of Weapons, Prohibited Substances and Other Property. Any weapon, prohibited substance or other property students are not allowed to possess may be confiscated by school officials. Unless the disposition of the property is otherwise provided for by law or board policy, it shall be returned to the student’s parent or guardian within a reasonable time no later than the last day of the school year.
V. Aiding or Assisting. A student shall not aid or assist another student to violate Policy 5131, Policy 5131.6 and other Board Policy, administrative regulation of local school rule. A student commits this offense if he/she knowingly advises, induces, encourages, aids or assists another student to commit an offense OR shares in the purpose of the act (to commit the offense) and aids or is in a position to aid the other student when the offense is committed. A student committing this offense should be disciplined in the same manner as those students actively committing the offense.
