Drop Policy:

Only through continuous communication can students be successful in an online course. Within each course, the instructor outlines the weekly minimum work requirements. It is essential that the student and instructor maintain regular contact.

All students are required to sign the following statement upon registration:

I acknowledge that during the first 14 days of being activated in my iFlagler course I may drop the course without penalty. Upon dropping a course after the first 14 days, a grade of WF (Withdraw Fail) will be issued. I understand that for each online course there are a minimum number of assignments that must be completed each week. Failure to submit the minimum number of assignments on a weekly basis will result in my removal from the course and may result in a failing grade being assigned to my academic transcript. If I drop the course after completing 50% of the class requirements and fail to take the final exam, iFlagler may issue an "F" for my final grade.

Email Policy:

1. •Check email frequently; at least twice per day. If you are going to be away from email for more than 1 day, use the "out of office" feature to alert people of your availability.
   

2. •Archive all student communication via email for the current semester or year you are working with your student.
   

3. •Create a system for storing email that would be logical to anyone. By student name is suggested.
   

4. •Spell check all emails before sending.
   

5. •Do not use email to address difficult or controversial issues with students or parents. This includes concerns over the tone of student’s communication with you or with other students, concerns about the authenticity of student work, etc. Use the telephone. If you are unable to reach a parent and/or student by phone, it is certainly acceptable to send them an email but try to refrain from using email as the forum for airing your concerns. Use email to alert them to the fact that you desire to speak to them via the telephone and identify some times in which you will be available should they desire to contact you.
   

Grading Student Work:

A major component of proper communication is returning student work in a timely manner.  It is iFlagler's policy that all communication be returned within 24 hours.   Responding within 24 hours does not have to include the grading of all work that was submitted the previous day, only the acknowledgment of receipt of assignments or questions. It is the responsibility of the instructor to inform students about the expected turnaround time on grading work that has been submitted.  All work should be graded in a timely manner and within a period of time that does not prevent the student from progressing through the course.

iFlagler uses the state adopted grading scale. (Per Florida statute:  232.2463 High School Grading System):

Grade A equals 90% through 100%

Grade B equals 80% through 89%

Grade C equals 70% through 79%

Grade D equals 60% through 69%

1. •Instructors are expected to check voicemail daily.
   

2. •Teachers are required to enter all telephone calls to students and parents into VSA.  These logs are reviewed periodically by iFlagler Administration and are used for school accountability reporting.
