School Wide Expectations
Academic performance
If a student wishes to participate in an optional trip or to represent the
school he/she must be Meeting Expectations (M) in each subject against
the ATL rubric. Students that earn an Approaching Expectations (A) ATL
grade in any course will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If a
student has an Unsatisfactory (U) ATL grade in any course, the student is
automatically ineligible. The students privilege to participate in these
trips may be withdrawn if a serious disciplinary incident occurs.
Class attendance

Students must attend school and classes on a regular basis and not have
absences that are considered excessive. Students must arrive to school
and class on time. A student will lose the privilege of representing IST on a

Students must be in good behavioral standing at IST in order to earn the

to adhere to normal school rules and expectations of behavior while
