PROBATION PERIOD

The probationary period is a time for review and observation of a student’s behavior and academic qualifications. During this period, the behavior and academic progress of the new students will be observed. To properly satisfy the behavioral and academic needs of all students, the needs of the new students must be compatible with the currently available resources of the school. Students whose behavioral and academic needs are beyond the resources of St. Michael School will be advised to seek help satisfying those needs.

If the psychological and emotional needs or problems of the student are beyond the professional expertise of the faculty or adversely affect the learning environment, the administration has the right to require the withdrawal of any student who is unable to comply with St. Michael’s School standards.
