Parent and Student Handbook

Welcome to Alee Academy Charter High School!

Alee Academy proudly begins another exciting school year, marking over two decades of service to students in our community. Over the past 25 years, Alee Academy has evolved from a small alternative education program into a thriving charter high school recognized for its dedication to student growth and achievement. Last year, Alee Academy earned its first Commendable school improvement rating, which is the highest distinction an alternative school can achieve, reflecting the hard work and commitment of our students, staff, and families.

As we look ahead to the next 25 years, our focus remains on cultivating a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where students and staff can continue to soar to new heights. We are deeply grateful that you have chosen Alee Academy for your child’s education and entrusted us with their academic and personal growth. Our “Fam-Alee” is dedicated to helping every student reach their full potential and prepare for a successful future.

Alee Academy continues to strengthen partnerships with local institutions, including Lake Technical College and Lake-Sumter State College, to provide students with meaningful college and career pathways. Through community collaborations and our Workforce Wednesday program, students have opportunities to engage with professionals, explore potential careers, and gain real-world experience. We are also expanding work-study and internship options through partnerships with local employers, and our evening program supports working students in earning high school credit for maintaining full-time employment.

This year, we are excited to enhance our hands-on learning opportunities. Our new education garden will introduce students to gardening and agriculture, promote healthy nutrition, and offer a calm, restorative space for reflection. We have also expanded our creative offerings with the addition of 3-D Art, encouraging students to explore and express their artistic talents.

At Alee Academy, we believe that both academic achievement and experiential learning are essential to preparing students for life beyond high school. Earning credits, maintaining a minimum 2.0 GPA, and passing state assessments are priorities, but we also emphasize personal growth, creativity, and real-world skills.

Thank you for being part of our Alee Academy community. We look forward to partnering with you throughout the school year, it truly takes a village to help every student succeed. For any questions or concerns, please reach out to our administrative team.

History of Alee Academy

Alee Academy was founded in 1999 by local educators and members of our communities who saw a need to help students at-risk of dropping out of school. They understood the importance of meeting students where they are, academically, socially, and behaviorally so as to help them stay in school and earn their high school diploma. Alee Academy was, and continues to be, a school that values the uniqueness of each learner and commits to providing a quality educational experience for all students. Alee Academy’s governing board, faculty, and staff understand that success starts with a strong foundation, thus striving to ensure that our students receive a well-rounded education.

Vision Statement

At Alee Academy, we strive to create a trusting environment, challenging students to fulfill their academic and personal potential.

Mission Statement

The mission of Alee Academy Charter School is to empower at-risk high school students by providing a nurturing, inclusive, and innovative learning environment that honors each student’s unique journey. We are committed to breaking down barriers to education through personalized instruction, holistic support, and real-world learning experiences. Our goal is to inspire resilience, instill purpose, and equip every student with the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to graduate with pride and pursue a meaningful future.

Educational records consist of transcripts, attendance records, behavior/discipline records, Individual Education Plans and 504 Plans if applicable. Once all records are received, (typically within five (5) business days - longer during the summer), the parent or legal guardian and/or adult student will be contacted and an appointment will be scheduled for a pre-enrollment meeting with administration.

Enrollment

  • The student must accompany the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to the pre-enrollment meeting at Alee Academy;
  • The administrator(s) conducting the pre-enrollment meeting will explain the school rules, expectations, and procedures and determine if attending Alee Academy is in the student’s best interest;

Academic Program

Internet Use

  • Students caught using the internet for purposes other than academics will immediately be sent home for the day. If a parent cannot be contacted, the student will be sent home with a notice to return with a parent/guardian the next school day. The second offense will result in a student being dismissed from the school.
  • Students must not plagiarize and must respect the rights of copyright laws and avoid infringement and inappropriately reproducing work that is protected.
  • The use of the internet or an electronic device to convey any communication, image, or illustration, that causes or contributes to the intimidation, harassment, abuse, or disparagement of students and staff is strictly prohibited. This includes communication, images, or illustration that originates on or off school grounds.

Curriculum

Alee Academy uses a variety of resources to ensure our students receive instruction that meets their particular learning style. Our teachers use digital software programs such as Edgenuity, Achieve3000, and MyPath, in conjunction with supplemental lessons developed from research-based textbooks. In addition to these supplemental direct instruction lessons, our teachers evaluate and provide academic assistance throughout the duration of the course with small group intervention sessions and one-on-one tutoring time provided as deemed necessary. In addition to the digital curriculum and supplemental lessons, life skills preparation, socio-emotional learning, character education, and workplace training are all taught throughout the school year.

The use of a digital curriculum affords our students the opportunity to accelerate through credit recovery courses in order to repair their GPAs and earn credit(s) required for graduation. As is common with alternative education, students are encouraged to work at an accelerated pace in order to make up missing credits. Alee Academy provides highly qualified teachers in all subject areas who will provide pacing guides that students are encouraged to follow, at minimum, to finish their grade level courses by the end of the school year. This allows teachers to provide timely feedback and additional assistance to ensure all students achieve their full potential. Students are permitted to submit work prior to due dates.

Upon enrollment, each student and parent/guardian develop a “student success plan” that is based upon the student’s academic needs and vocational/employment plans. The leadership team will assist students with job placement, vocational opportunities, and career advancement. Students will be cooperative and will make every effort to master the course material. Students and parents/guardians will be notified of potential failure when work is unsatisfactory.

For courses taken using Edgenuity, students are required to take course assessments on campus. This includes UNIT TESTS and FINAL EXAMS. This practice is to protect the integrity of the student and the school.

Teachers and Administrators monitor dates and times of test and exam completion. Teachers and Administrators reserve the right to require assignments to be redone if/when the time and date stamp shows at home completion.

Standardized Testing

In order to meet requirements for graduation, students must pass both a reading and math standardized tests. Testing requirements can be achieved in various ways including:

  • Passing Score on Progress Monitoring Test #3 (Reading)
  • Concordant Score on ACT or SAT (Reading and/or Math)
  • Concordant Score on the Classic Learning Test (CLT)
  • Passing Score on the Algebra I End-of-Course Exam
  • Passing Score on the Geometry End-of-Course Exam

Both the Algebra I EOC and Geometry EOC also count for 30% of the final course grade.

Progress Monitoring tests, for both Reading and Math, are administered several times throughout the school year. These tests are very important for student achievement. The data collected from these tests, provides our teachers and administrators the information needed to differentiate instruction and target specific deficiencies, which in turn, provide for greater opportunities for student success.

Homework

Homework is assigned at a teacher’s discretion. While students are encouraged to work on their courses as often as possible, even for homework, however, students are not permitted to take their school issued Chromebooks home without receiving permission and checking their chromebook out properly. The digital curriculum software programs are internet-based, they can all be accessed off campus using most personal electronic devices.

Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity is highly valued at our school. Incidents involving plagiarism and cheating are serious offenses that warrant immediate administrative attention.

Academic Dishonesty Policy

  • Students are required to submit original work. An online resource is used to verify plagiarism within assignments. See LCS Code of Student Conduct & Policy Guide for further descriptions and information regarding plagiarism and cheating.
  • Teachers and Administrators continuously monitor dates and times of test and exam completion and reserve the right to require assignments to be retaken if/when the time and date stamp shows a test or exam was completed at home.
    • 1st incident – resubmit assignment, parent contact
    • 2nd incident – resubmit assignment, parent conference requested with teacher and administration, grade of possible zero on assignment
    • 3rd incident – Administrative Review of Enrollment, grade of zero on the assignment
  • Students are responsible for their own work on all assignments, assessments, and final exams.
  • Students are not permitted to use notes on quizzes, assessments, or exams unless otherwise indicated by the subject area teacher or IEP.
  • Students are not allowed to share work with other students on assessments or final exams.
  • Unless otherwise indicated by the classroom teacher, quizzes, assessments, and exams are not “open book” assignments.
  • Failure to do your own work may result in the student not earning any credit for the assignment, quiz, assessment, or exam and may face disciplinary action in accordance with the district’s code of conduct.

Chromebooks

Alee Academy is proud to offer 1:1 technology for our students. Most of our curriculum is internet based and we want all students to use their time in school wisely, therefore, students MUST have their device charged and with them every day. Failure to have their assigned device every day will hinder academic progress and result in a technology incident report. Three technology incident reports will result in the student being sent home. A mandatory parent conference will be scheduled.

Grading Process

Teachers will only enter grades into FOCUS when a student COMPLETES with a half credit or a full credit in the course. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to email the teacher for their child’s progress and specific progress.

Each student is required to complete all lessons as determined by the course teacher. This includes both digital and teacher created supplemental assignments & activities. Students must earn a minimum of a “C” for grade recovery purposes.

All students are required to keep a portfolio of his/her pacing guides and completion data charts. This portfolio is each student’s responsibility. Once a course is completed, the completed pacing guide and data charts must be turned into the teacher of the course.

Credit for coursework completed at other institutions will be transferred subject to the institution’s accreditation. The privilege of repeating coursework allows students to retake courses in which they initially encountered challenges. Any grade earned in prior attempts of a repeated course will appear on the student’s transcript, regardless of whether the grade is dropped from or included in the cumulative grade point average. The course credits may not be counted more than once toward graduation requirements.

Students who do not complete all course work at Alee Academy may be in jeopardy of not having enough core courses to meet NCAA requirements. This includes transfer students. These students must notify the administration of their desire to participate in intercollegiate sports so that proper course work can be planned.

The grading scale is as follows:

Grade Percentage
A 90-100
B 80-89
C 70-79
D 60-69
F 0-59

Assignment Retake and Revision

We believe and support a mastery model of education. If a student does not achieve a passing score on an assignment or quiz, the student is expected to understand the errors made through review of the material or remediation from the teacher and should then resubmit their work for a second attempt. The highest grade will be entered into the grade book. Students will only be allowed one attempt for an assessment/exam.

If the student still does not receive a passing grade after the second attempt, the student is encouraged to connect or reconnect with their teacher to arrange for an opportunity to improve the grade. Teachers are encouraged to hold small groups and one on one remediation sessions before permitting students to re-submit assignments or assessments for third and subsequent attempts. Students are encouraged to attend teacher led small group remediation sessions prior to requesting a one-on-one session with the teacher.

Dress Code

The dress and grooming of the students shall contribute to the health and safety of the individual, promote a positive educational environment, and not disrupt the educational activities and the efficient operation of the school.

Note: An official transcript must have a raised seal. All students graduating must have an official transcript on file in order to graduate.

Attendance

Alee Academy believes that success is primarily based upon school attendance. Parents/guardians will be contacted with each absence. There are a limited number of openings for enrollment at Alee Academy, therefore, students that have excessive absences will forfeit their enrollment.

  • All students attending Alee Academy are expected to attend every day and be on time.
  • Students are expected to be in attendance on all school days in order to stay on pace to successfully complete their courses as required by the Florida Department of Education.
  • Students who fail to attend consistently may face truancy processing and jeopardize their enrollment.
  • Students/parents must explain the reason and provide documentation for the absence.
  • If a student must be absent from school, the student or the parent/guardian must contact the school at (352) 357-9426 on the day of the absence. Leave a message if the phone is not answered by the secretary. An email may also be sent to the Principal. Making contact with the school using either of these methods does not guarantee the absence will be excused. A note with proper documentation is still required to be provided.
  • When students sign out early on an ongoing basis, their academic performance will be negatively impacted. Alee Academy expects students to be in school for the entire school day.
  • A pattern of early sign outs will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
  • Only persons authorized by the parent or guardian are permitted to check out a student. Authorization needs to be given in writing except in emergency situations. In the event that the student is over the age of 18 and wants to check out of school, but resides with a parent or guardian, the school will notify the parent or guardian of the student’s intent to leave school.
  • Students that are employed should work with their employers to not be scheduled during school hours. If assistance is needed, the student should seek that assistance from the administration.

Active Assailant Drills

Alee Academy will conduct these drills monthly to ensure our students and staff are prepared in the event of an active assailant on our campus. Students are expected to comply with the rules and expectations for the proper response which is taught in the classrooms.

In the event that the school should need to be closed for a weather-related emergency, such as a hurricane or other event, students and parents should watch/listen to the local TV and radio stations for updates on the status of Lake County Schools. The school will follow LCS guidelines regarding the same opening/closing schedules set forth. Should Alee Academy experience any reason to close that does not affect LCS, a call out will be made and an email sent to all primary contacts and email addresses.

Code of Conduct

Alee Academy recognizes that a positive learning environment cannot exist without maintaining order and discipline conducive to learning. This Code of Conduct is intended to standardize procedures that help ensure the rights of every student at the school campus are upheld.

Note: The safe harbor provision states that a student may approach a school official and voluntarily surrender an object to avoid disciplinary action unless it is a firearm, illegal, or prohibited item.

The school agrees to maintain a safe learning environment at all times. In order to provide criteria for addressing discipline issues that will ensure the health, safety, and welfare of all students, Alee Academy will adopt and follow the Lake County Schools Code of Student Conduct in addition to the School’s Student/Parent Handbook. All students at the school are required to know and follow the guidelines in both documents. Therefore, failure to abide by these behavior and attendance expectations may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the program. It is important to understand the following items:

  • If a charter school student is withdrawn or dismissed from the charter school and has committed an expellable act that would merit full exclusion, the student will be denied enrollment to any public school or program.
  • If a charter school student withdraws but has not committed an expellable act based on District standards, the student shall be admitted to a district school.
  • If a charter school student is not compliant with the rules and expectations as described in this document or the LCS Student Code of Conduct, a review of the student’s enrollment will take place and a dismissal hearing will be scheduled with the Governing Board of Directors. Both the parent and student will be notified of the scheduled hearing and are invited to be present.

The rules of the Code of Conduct apply to any conduct whether the student is:

  • On school grounds during the school day or immediately before or after school hours;
  • On school grounds at any other time when the school is being used by a school group;
  • On or off school grounds, including designated bus stops, at any school activity, function, or event;
  • Traveling to and from school, including actions on any school bus, van or public conveyance.

Under this Code of Conduct, the following definitions will apply:

Student: A person, adult or minor, enrolled in the school

Parent : An official care-giver of a minor child, including but not limited to, mother, father, step-parent, grandparent, or court-appointed guardian, including DCF workers and/or group home employees as identified at the time of admission or amended in writing thereafter, or an emancipated minor (proof required);

  • For young adult students aged 18-20, parent or guardian with whom the student currently resides;
  • For married or independent adult students aged 18-20 and for all students aged 21 or older, the student him/herself

Married: The legal spouse of a student, as expressed in a marriage certificate of any state, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any sovereign nation.

The following behaviors are examples of offenses from the LCS Code of Student Conduct and will result in corrective action up to and including a suspension or dismissal, at the discretion of the administration. For specific information related to offenses, see pages 40 - 56 of the LCS Code of Student Conduct.

Suspensions

  • General guidelines for suspensions are as follows:
  • The administration reserves the right to suspend a student based on the offense committed by the student.
  • No suspension shall exceed 10 school days.
  • The administration must give written notice of the intention to suspend, along with the reason for the suspension, to the student.
  • The student shall be given the right to appear at an informal hearing before the Principal and respectfully challenge the reasons for the intended suspension (or otherwise explain).
  • A written notice of suspension shall be sent or given, within one calendar day to the parent/guardian, if the student is under the age of 18. The notice shall include the reason(s) for the suspension and the right of the student to appeal to the Principal or the Board of Directors.
  • An educational planning conference should be held each time any disabled student has been suspended from a classroom for 10 days cumulative during the school year. The purpose is to determine if the placement is appropriate and if any changes need to be made in order to more effectively deal with the student’s behavior problem. Refer to the Lake County Schools Code of Student Conduct regarding suspension/removal for a student with disabilities who commits a serious act of misconduct.
  • Any student recommended by the administration to be dismissed from Alee Academy is invited to the hearing with the Charter Board of Directors where the status of the student’s enrollment will be determined.

Electronic Devices

The following guidelines are in effect as a way to minimize distractions in the school and the classrooms:

  • All cell phones will be collected upon entry and redistributed upon dismissal. Cell phones are not permitted in the classroom. Any cell phones found on a student in a classroom will be confiscated by administration and held until the student’s parent picks them up. For students over age 18 but living with a parent or guardian, the cell phone will only be released to the parent or guardian. If the student is residing on their own, the cell phone will be returned to the student at the end of the school day but will have to be turned in each day to gain entrance to the school.
  • Bluetooth devices, such as iPods, air pods, hands-free devices, portable games, smart watches, touch screen electronics, etc. capable of accessing the internet are not allowed in buildings. These items must be turned in each morning and will be secured in a locked cabinet.
