Home > Resources > School Policies

I am looking for the school's policy regarding:

| FAILURE | GRADUATION | ID AND PROGRAM CARDS | ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY | PARTICIPATION  IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES | LUNCH PERIODS | DRESS CODE | DISCIPLINE CODE | DAILY ENTRANCE/EXIT PROCEDURE | GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

FAILURE POLICY

 

Students are required to make up all failed classes in summer school. Students that absent themselves from class sufficiently in the first half of an annual subject (i.e. Math, Science, Language) and receive a grade less than 50, will not be permitted to continue in the second half without going to summer school.

 

NO STUDENT MAY REPEAT A PREVIOUSLY FAILED CLASS IN DAY SCHOOL; SUMMER SCHOOL IS MANDATED.

 

GRADUATION POLICY

 

ONLY STUDENTS MEETING THE FULL REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION FROM BROOKLYN TECH ARE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE JUNE CEREMONY. 

 

Only students certified for June graduation will be permitted to attend. Additional restrictions apply to seniors who absent themselves from class and receive a grade below 50 on the second and third Spring report cards. 

 

ALSO SEE: Participation in extra-curricular activities.

 

ID AND PROGRAM CARD

 

ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO CARRY BOTH THE BTHS PHOTO ID AND PROGRAM CARDS AT ALL TIMES. 

 

These are to be surrendered to faculty on demand. All extra-curricular after school events require BTHS photo ID for admission. Students without this documentation or Program Card may purchase them in the SGO Store daily.

 

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY

 

In addition to the PSAL eligibility requirements, Tech has a NO-CUT policy. 

 

ANY STUDENT WHO CUTS A CLASS MAY NOT PARTICIPATE OR WILL BE REMOVED FROM AND AM ATHLETIC TEAM. Eligibility is established every report card.

 

PARTICIPATION IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

 

EXAMPLES

Sing, play, forensics, BTHS funded activities, etc

 

ALL BTHS FUNDED EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITY PARTICIPANTS MUST MEET THE SAME ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AS ATHLETES.

 

Seniors require approval from the Dean's Office (a satisfactory disciplinary record), no grade below 50 and must meet the graduation requirements to attend the prom, senior trip, and graduation ceremonies.

 

 

CAPTURED LUNCH PERIODS

 

Periods 4-7 are designated lunch periods at Tech. Students may use the 7th floor cafeteria, 5th floor library or work in an office during this time.

 

DISCIPLINE CODE

 

STUDENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO LEAVE THE BUILDING BEFORE THE END OF THEIR SCHOOL DAY. VIOLATORS PLACE THEMSELVES AND THE SCHOOL AT RISK AND ARE SUBJECT TO SUSPENSION.

 

The complete discipline code is available in 7S2 and 1W18. The level of discipline depends on the severity of the action. Items addressed include:

 

(a) Failure to follow school/BOE policies

(b) Cutting

(c) Vandalism

(d) Fighting/Aggressive Acts

(e) Carrying Weapons

 

The action taken by the school may include:

 

(a) Notation on the disciplinary record

(b) Parent conference with the school

(c) Principal's suspense

(d) Superintendent's suspense

(e) Expulsion for the NY City school system

 

ACTIONS (c) TO (e) CAN ULTIMATELY RESULT IN YOUR REMOVAL FROM TECH.

 

DRESS CODE

 

Students are advised that all are to dress in a responsible manner, appropriate for an education environment. Appropriate attire covers the torso and consists of pants/shorts/skirts that are longer than mid-thigh in length. While not required, we do recommend wearing shirts/blouses with collars. Student may also wish to refer to the Student's Rights and Responsibilites pamphlet.
