Respectful Behavior
Staff and administrators establish expectations at the beginning of the year and share them with students and families. Students are expected to respect themselves, teachers, classmates and the school community.
Depending on the severity and frequency of the behavior, consequences may include:
Loss of privileges
Parent contact
In-school suspension
Out-of-school suspension
Dress for Learning
Clothing should be appropriate for learning and the weather. It may not be disruptive, unsafe or excessively revealing. Administrators may ask a student to change clothing or call home to request appropriate attire.
Items to Leave at Home
Weapons and toy or facsimile weapons
Tobacco, drugs, alcohol, matches and lighters
Skateboards, roller blades and Heelies
Bats and hard baseballs
Personal gaming devices, trading cards and other disruptive items
Disruptive items may be sent home or require parent pickup. See Student Devices and Network Use for phone and smartwatch rules.
Bullying and Harassment
Bullying is unacceptable. Report concerns to a trusted adult at school or anonymously through Safe2Tell at 877-542-7233.
Academy District 20 prohibits discrimination and harassment based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, transgender status or family composition. Report incidents to a trusted adult or through the district complaint process.
Emergency Drills
AIES practices hold, secure, lockdown, evacuate and shelter drills. Visitors and volunteers present during a drill must stay with the class or group they are supporting.
Student Protection
School employees must report suspected child abuse or neglect to the appropriate human services agency or law enforcement authority in accordance with Colorado law. District staff may use physical intervention or restraint only when needed to protect the safety of a student or others and in accordance with state law and district policy.
Lost and Found
Label clothing, lunch containers and water bottles. Lost items are kept near the cafeteria. Unclaimed items may be donated at the end of each semester.
