Culminating Projects/Final Exam Replacement
School-Year 2010-2011
1. Personal Electronics (including cell phones) may be used on campus before and after school, at lunch and during passing periods.2. Teachers may choose to use personal electronics as an instructional tool to conduct formative assessment, download books and other instructional materials, and enable students to put assignments into their personal electronic calendars.
3. If a teacher elects not to plan lessons in which electronic devices are allowed, students will turn their electronics off and place them in their backpacks or purses for that class period.
4. Teachers will indicate if they will make use of personal electronics in their classroom work. If students use personal electronic devices during instructional time after a teacher has indicated that it is not acceptable, the electronic device will be taken by the teacher and turned into the administration.
5. The first time personal electronics are picked up by a teacher or the administration, the student will retrieve the electronic device in the office and a warning will be given. The second time that an electronic device is taken by any teacher or administrator, there will be a $15 charge for record keeping and storage. The charge will increase to $30 for each subsequent incident.
6. During testing, teachers will indicate where electronic devices should be stored. Students are required to handle electronic devices in accordance with the directive provided by the teacher or face receiving a "0" for the test/quiz given.
7. Students are responsible for the security of their personal electronic devices. Be advised that electronics are popular targets for theft and students should be careful to secure their electronics when not in use in the classroom, lunchroom and locker rooms.
8. Stolen electronic devices should be reported to the campus police and a report will be written. If the device is retrieved, the report will lead to the return of the stolen item. However, classes will not be detained nor will mass searches occur for stolen electronic devices. Students are advised to secure their personal electronic devices to prevent theft.
The Anderson Dress Standards were established because at L.C. Anderson High School we set high academic standards for all our students. We are extremely proud of our school and all the accomplishments made by students, faculty and staff. At Anderson High School we want our students’ personal appearance to reflect those high standards as well. The Dress Standards are designed to promote a safe and orderly climate that is conducive to learning. We want to thank our students, parents, and community for their support and cooperation in helping us to continue to make L.C. Anderson High School an outstanding high school!
The Anderson Administrative Staff reserves the right to make final determination concerning appropriateness of students’ attire.
Many details and styles of clothing cannot be covered in the dress standards. We hope that students and parents understand not only the “letter” but also the “spirit” of the dress standards and choose clothing that is appropriate for a student attending L.C. Anderson High School.
The following items of clothing are inappropriate:
NOTE: Flip flops, while very unsafe in wet weather, are still OK to wear.
NOTE: The "no headgear" rule will be enforced: No headgear of any kind are allowed except for religious reasons.
“Tardy Notes” need to be HANDED to an attendance person at the attendance desk. “Permits to Enter” are no longer needed. The 20/20 rule will be enforced:
1. Students are not allowed in the halls the first or last 20 minutes of any class, and then only with hall permits.
2. The tardy policy will be enforced: After 20 minutes, a tardy becomes an absence.

Visitors to Campus
As the safety and security of our students continue to be of increasing concern, we ask all adults to assist by ensuring we are informed of your presence on campus as well as provide us with the opportunity to verify your identity and relationship to any student you wish to visit. We ask that all visitors report immediately to the front office to sign-in and get a Visitor’s Badge. You will be asked to produce a driver’s license or state ID to be entered into the new security check system and receive a visitor’s badge.
Visitor Parking - Adults visiting the campus during the school day should park in either:
NOTE: In the student parking lot, Row 1 is reserved for coaches.
2. A culminating project may be offered in junior and senior level courses in the Spring Semester.
3. Course average: Students must have an 85% average or higher in the spring semester to qualify for the option of a culminating project.
4. A student may have no more than 6 absences for the school year (3 tardies = 1 absence) in that course to qualify for the culminating project.
5. Students may not "make up" absences or tardies (with Saturday school or community service) in order to qualify for a culminating project. "UT" (unexcused tardy) will change to "T." "UNX" (unexcused absence) will change to MU (made up.) These changes will impact the awarding of credit but not qualifying for the culminating project.
6. Students may only qualify for a culminating project in the spring, but the absence and tardy totals are cumulative for the entire school year in that class.
7. Absences that do not count are CRT, HD, MED, FLD, SCH, TST, UIL, VST.
8. Students must be present on the day of the final and maintain proper test behavior, or a 0 will be given.
