All of the students have their own education plans and their own needs. Some of them
have similar needs but for the most part they are all collectively in the class for functional skills.

Students must attend school daily. After 5 days of not attending school a notice will be
sent to the parents. A CUTs letter will be sent with another notice if students miss 9 to 11 days.
For the dress code boys have to wear polo dress or dress shirts and pants or shorts that are solid
colors of what the school allows. Cannot fit too loosely or tightly. For girls they must wear polo
shirts or dress shirts as well and skirts, pants, shorts, and dresses must be a solid school
authorized color. Skirts and dresses must be at least three inches above the knee. Only ear
piercings are allowed and slippers, heelys, and sandals are not allowed.
There are six categories of behavior consequences with the 1st offense being having to be
disciplined by a teacher or staff. Second offense being removed from the classroom and having a
parent conference with 1 to 3 days of suspension and third offense being referred to juvenile
authorities, parent conference and 10 day suspension. Fourth offense adds the risk of being
expelled and having to clean up the messes made. The last two are having authorities be
involved.
Parents are expected to attend parent meetings and to send their child on time. They are also
expected to update the school on any health documents or concerns about their child. Must notify
the office of any health problems and keep students at home if they have nausea and vomiting,
The school system itself is diverse with students and teachers compared to the school I
am doing the field experience in. The school is mainly occupied by Hispanics which makes sense
because the area is mainly filled with Hispanic people. In the classroom there are two assistants
who help communicating with some of the students who respond well to Spanish than English.
Since both the teacher and assistants have years of experience with special needs students, they
are well informed in what is common with certain disabilities and students in this field. I hope
that in the future more people of different cultures are more enrolled in this school system in
general because the schools can grow from that diversity in students and staff.
