SCHOOL POLICIES

While CIJS is not a district school and is not affiliated with the district, we agreed on our charter contract to follow the Matrix of Infractions for suspensions and Code of Conduct for Osceola County Schools with a few caveats which are included in our attached policies.

Please understand that we are not at liberty to discuss another student or their consequences with you, but you are welcome to view the school policies to help determine what a potential course of action may be.

CIJS does not tolerate aggressive, offensive or abusive behavior and follows the "Matrix for Consequences & Suspensions". Click on the pictures below for more details.

CIJS is committed to providing the best possible conditions for our parents and students and we encourage parent communicaton as we  want to be proactive about problems that may arise. If on the rare occasion a concern arises, we want to resolve the issue as soon as possible.  Part of this commitment is encouraging a frank and open atmosphere in which any problem, complaint, suggestion, concern or question will receive a timely response from CIJS supervisors and management.  It is the sincere intent of CIJS to be fair and reasonable with all parents/students at all times; therefore, any person who believes that he or she has been treated improperly or unfairly has recourse for resolution of such a complaint.

With that being said, please be reminded that we request 24-48 business hours to return calls.  We DO NOT respond on evenings or weekends and we are NOT able to meet “on demand” as we have many prior obligations with other staff, students and parents.   We want every person at CIJS to feel heard and valued 100% . Therefore, we will not cancel meetings with other people to attend an “on demand” session.  Please call the office and schedule a meeting with the Principal during a time that is convenient for BOTH PARTIES. 

Please follow the proper procedures for concerns which is notated below. 

1. All complaints should be initially reported to the teacher (if applicable) as soon as possible after the incident occurs.

2. If the situation is unresolved, the Principal should be contacted. A written report of all complaints should be submitted soon after the initial notification. Within any dispute resolution situation, all parents/students shall approach the facts and issues surrounding these matters in a discreet and confidential manner.

3. If the Principal is unable to resolve the situation within established policies and to the satisfaction of the parent/student, then IPS shall be notified promptly. Please present the problem, in writing, to senior management (Patty Marquis). At that time, she will consult with the other members of senior management for a resolution.

4. If a resolution is not reached with the management team (IPS), then the parent/student shall promptly notify the President of the Governing Board, in writing.

5. Please feel free to contact the CIJS Parent Liaison with any concerns if you prefer. She can facilitate communication between you and your teacher, principal, management team, governing board etc.  However, she will refer you back to the resolution process if that has not been followed. Hanadi can be contacted at hanadi.itani@CIJSReggioScholars.org

CIJS prides itself on communication and we will make every effort to problem solve in a quick, efficient manner, but please note resolutions are not always able to have an immediate solution.

We look forward to a great year!!
