 \nUncommon Schools (or “Uncommon”) starts and operates outstanding urban public schools that close the opportunity gap and prepare students from low-income communities to graduate from college. Our goal is to lead the best and highest performing K-12 schools in the nation.  \nSchool Profile  \nNorth Star Academy Charter Schools (“North Star Academy” or the “School” when referring to individual schools) is a not-for-profit network of free, public charter schools that serve over 6, 600 K-12 students in Newark. Each school shares the same mission of preparing students to enter, succeed in, and graduate from college. Believing that every child has a right to high-quality education and that a bachelor’s degree should be within reach for every young person in the nation, North Star Academy builds uncommonly great schools that offer a rigorous  \ncollege-preparatory curriculum that cultivates our students’ passions and interestsand is infused with joy, love, and learning. Students are randomly selected by public lottery in grade K, and we maintain waiting lists through grade 12.  \nEducational Excellence  \nUncommon Schools believes our students’ potential is limitless and we are proud of all our alumni have accomplished and become. We support our students to meet high standards of academic achievement through culturally responsive practices that ensure a joyful and rigorous academic learning environment. We meet our students where they are at and help them develop intellectually and emotionally, and through their own hard work and dedication. Our college acceptance and graduation rates are among the top in the country.  \nFamily Partnership  \nUncommon Schools is a community of students, families/guardians, teachers, staff, and school leaders. We believe in the importance of working together to make a positive impact on the academic and social-emotional growth of every child. Although the job of making decisions about school policy belongs to the Board of Trustees and the School Leader, family involvement is absolutely critical to the success of our students and the school. We appreciate our families’ active involvement in the education of their child.  \nUncommon Schools families/guardians are asked to:  \n● Prov","cbCailNYz9NtnYIg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailNYz9NtnYIg","pdf",511362,54,"English","# Welcome to Uncommon Schools!\n## School Profile\n## Educational Excellence\n## Family Partnership\n## Welcoming, Safe, and Supportive Environment\n## Core Values\n# Academics & Learning\n## Report Cards\n## Promotion and Retention Policies\n## Homework\n## Student Accommodation Policy\n## Student Attendance & Tardiness Policy\n# Logistics, Facilities, & Schedule\n## School-day Hours\n## Friday Dismissal\n## Snow Closings\n## Student Meals\n## Student Belongings\n# Enrichment Programs\n## Events & Celebrations\n# Health Policies\n## Illness and Return Policy\n## Administration of Care and Medication Policy\n## Immunization Policy\n# Additional Policies\n## Uniform\n## Social Media\n## Bus Behavior\n## Visitors\n## Family Communication\n## Student Records\n# High School and Conduct Policies\n## High School Enrollment\n## Public Display of Affection\n## Code of Conduct\n## Disciplinary Procedures\n## Procedures For Certain Types of Discipline\n## Gun Free Schools Act\n## Bullying\n## Harassment and Discrimination\n## Reporting and Investigation of Complaints\n## Substance Abuse Policy\n## Discipline of Students with Special Needs\n## Student Interviews and Searches\n# Technology Policies\n## Use of Technology, Electronic Devices and Phones at School\n## Student Technology Acceptable Use Policy\n## Student Use of Technology Agreement\n# Appendix\n## High School Graduation Requirements\n## College Placement Program\n## Informal Complaint Procedures\n## Formal Complaint Procedures\n## Board of Trustees\n## Title I Family Involvement Policy\n## Nondiscrimination and Title IX Policy","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Student and Family Handbook 2024-2025?\",\"answer\":\"It provides guidance on expectations, policies, and support for students and families, including academic goals and community commitments within Uncommon Schools and North Star Academy Charter Schools.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the handbook describe the family partnership with the school?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes shared responsibility among families, students, teachers, staff, and leaders, noting that family involvement is critical to students’ academic and social-emotional growth.\"},{\"question\":\"What areas of student policies are covered besides academics?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook includes attendance and tardiness, homework, health and medication policies, enrichment and events, discipline procedures, technology use, and complaint procedures, along with related conduct and safety requirements.\"}]","Student and Family Handbook 2024-2025 - School Policies, Academics, and Family Partnership | PDF",136]
