School+Diary

Please add section to be included and expanded upon in the New CP School Diary
 * __SCHOOL DIARY__

* Dusten in Blue * Erin's in Green *Matt's Red Jodie Pink Neil brick red Jenn Purple

1. Charter for Success / School Philosophy & Objectives - Dusten

2. Code of Conduct ??? How inclusive should this be? A stuent model from the teachers model? All consequences of every action? Will this be ready in time for Diary to be published?

3. School Uniform - Mary Catherine
 * photos included if costs permit. Do the new uniform additions complicate this?

4. Responsible Computer Use & Internet Policy (See current Code of Conduct Page for description)

5. Assessment & Reporting Will this be ready in time for Diary to be published?

6. Student Life (Student Council / ASAs / Lockers & Textbooks / etc...)

7. Awards Description If the pin system is coming in we will need to have a summary of what colour means what.

8. Leaving Procedures - Dusten

9. Diary (expectations for Parent signing)

10. Purpose of the Diary

11. Commonly used websites and passwords -
 * turnitin.com
 * moodle.com
 * managebac
 * naviance
 * online databases to which we eventually subscribe
 * space for student sto add a few more.

Can we make it A4 size for older students? - Agreed as extra space would be needed to include the "6th" day. Consider adding a pocket for storing notes home, letters, Sodexho money, etc... having dairies in 6 month cycles as they are rendered useless by Semester Two A4 may be too big... a larger space for homework recording? How many copies are we looking to print (for 1 year / 3 years / etc...?) This dictates what we want to include.

12. IB Learner Profile - Erin

13. Referencing at YCIS Pudong (Currently the second half of the academic honesty guide, perhaps more useful and accessible if included in the diary).

 * make 2 slimmer diaries to be handed out at the start of each semester.
 * school map
