1. School administrators may use the SSS program for a 7th through 12th grade student who is suspended from school for a period of 1-5 days. Only administrators have authority to refer a student to SSS. SSS placement should be reserved and space availability confirmed through SSS supervisor via email or phone prior to student’s arrival at SSS. Completed referral form should be signed and emailed or faxed before student is expected to arrive at SSS. Forms are available on Outlook.
   
   
2. Students who attend SSS are not marked absent, but are counted present for ADA purposes. Attendance Clerks and referring administrator will be notified of SSS attendance.
   
   
3. Referring administrator designates adult (usually parent/guardian) to bring referred student in to Emerson reception desk at 8am, and get student from SSS at 2pm. Designated adults must come in to building with arriving students and for departing students. If a student is not signed out by 2:05pm, and designated adult cannot be contacted, SSS staff will contact referring administrator to arrange transportation for student. Student does not act as own designated adult.
   
   
4. Each student arriving at SSS is expected to bring assignments to occupy the full day, along with texts and materials required to complete assignments. Students at SSS are expected to work on school assignments from the time of arrival at SSS until all assignments are completed, then to quietly read books until designated adult comes to SSS room to pick student up. Computer/internet access not available to students in SSS.
   
   
5. Referring administrators from D91 may request student work to be returned through Turtle. Otherwise, all assignment/text/supplies transport will be responsibility of referred student.
