Homework Policy
The Academy will frequently provide home exercises to augment in-school learning.  The development of good home study habits and concentration is an important part of every child's learning experience.  Providing an environment at home where your child can study without distraction is one important way that you, the parent, can assist your child.  Of even greater importance is parental support and approval for learning and accomplishment.  Set aside a period of time, every day, when your child can complete work sent home from school.  It is the expectation of the academy that parents should offer the encouragement and praise that will aid the educational success of the student.


Parent Commitment
At Arbor Academy, we emphasize that a child's education is a fundamental part of family life and family support is vital to academic success.  The academy expects parents to participate and be available as needed, to ensure a successful educational experience for their child. . Opportunities for parent involvement in curricular activities will present themselves during the course of the year. Your assistance is encouraged, expected, and appreciated.

Parents are welcome in the classroom if advance arrangements have been made with the teacher.  All visitors are required to check in at the office.

Dress Code

While in attendance at the Academy, students will dress neatly according to the following guidelines:

  • Navy blue pants, skirts, skorts, jumpers, or walking shorts (no sweatpants)
  • White shirts with collars (turtleneck, polo shirt style, button down oxford)
  • Navy or gray sweaters (no sweatshirts)
  • Navy, gray, or white socks or tights
  • No open-toed shoes
  • No shoes with wheels

Parents will be contacted to correct the situation if a student is in violation of the dress code.  It is suggested that personal clothing items be labeled with names.

Attendance
Michigan State Law requires children between ages of 6 and 18 to be in regular attendance at school.  Regular attendance is necessary for a student’s academic and social progress.  To ensure success in a child’s school years, it is important to establish good attendance patterns at an early age.  It is the responsibility of parents to require regular attendance of their children.  In the case of excessive absences, a referral will be made to the Intermediate School District truancy official.
