SNACS Academic Policies and Agreements

Special Education & Section 504 Notice(Required)
Sierra Nevada Academy Charter School Annual Local Field Trip and Activity Permission
SNACS provides services to children who have IEP's or 504 plans as determined under special education law. These children have been evaluated, and as indicated above, were determined "eligible" to receive services.


The IEP team (teachers, parents, admin, and possible others) meet to develop a contract, specifying the accommodations, goals, and benchmarks for the academic year. Accommodations and modifications help children to overcome their disability and reach their potential. Enrolling at SNACS may constitute a change of placement. If a change of placement is determined necessary, a meeting will be convened. Parents will receive the Special Education Rights of Parents and Children packet during IEP meetings and may request a copy.


NRS 386.580 (4)
If the Governing Body of a charter school determines that their facility is unable to provide an appropriate special education program and related services for a particular individual who is enrolled in the charter school, the governing body may request that the board of trustees of the school district of the county in which the pupil resides transfer that pupil to an appropriate school.
Section 504
Section 504 is a civil rights law which protects the rights of students with disabilities to receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). A
student is eligible under section 504 if he/she has a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (ex. Learning,
breathing, hearing, seeing, etc.) and is in between the ages of 3-21.

* An education free of discrimination, harassment or retaliation based on disability.

* Ability to file a complaint if discrimination, harassment or retaliation takes place.

* Ability to take part and receive benefit from public education programs without discrimination.

* Inspect and receive educational records.

* Receive written notice for identification, evaluation, re-evaluation and placement.

* Have evaluations, educational and placement decisions based upon a variety of information sources and by persons who have knowledge of the student and disability in question, the evaluation data and placement options.

* Request administrative review and have the right to an impartial hearing.

Acknowledgment and Signature

My child must follow the Student Internet Rules of Acceptable Use below and all applicable SNACS policies.

If my child violates these rules, SNACS may restrict or revoke internet access and may apply additional consequences under the Student and Family Handbook.

Volunteer & Family Participation Agreement(Required)
Terms and Conditions

School and Family Collaboration is a key component of our school’s vision and mission statement. Without the past efforts of the school and its families working in a strong partnership, we would not have the foundation we enjoy today. For this partnership to continue, the school commits to providing the best education for your child within the limits of its available resources, and the expertise of the staff. However, the school cannot act alone. Family involvement is key to your child’s success. Your involvement in your child’s education sends a loud message to your child that what he/she is doing very important. Your role in the success of Sierra Nevada Academy Charter School and in the educational success of your child has two components: your personal commitment to your child’s education and your active support of the school as a parent volunteer. Simply put, we cannot possibly do our job as educators without your support of the school and its mission. We need you and your child needs you.

Our definition of family involvement means that each parent/guardian actively communicates the importance of a good education to his/her child. You demonstrate that education is a priority in your home when:

* Your child attends school daily unless sick

* You child arrives to school on time prepared to participate and learn

* Your child completes homework assignments and hands them in on time

* Your child follows school rules, showing respect to teachers, staff, parent volunteers and fellow students

* You attend parent-teacher conferences, social events, seminars and school meetings



Family involvement, as it relates to your active support of the school and its mission, can be accomplished in a variety of ways. We encourage each family to discover its service niche within the school. Please refer to the list below for some ideas, but remember that you are not restricted to the ideas on the list. We encourage thinking “outside the box”. We all benefit the most when each parent is contributing a service that they enjoy, or are especially good at it. Sierra Nevada Academy Charter School requires that each family invest ten (10) hours per month to fulfill its mission. We do not want families to see family involvement as a burden, but rather as an opportunity and a privilege. Materials or monetary donations will be calculated at the rate of $5.00 for every one-hour requirement. If you volunteer in this capacity, please turn in your receipts so that we may properly credit your volunteer account. Your support is important to us and we truly depend on family participation to accomplish our goals. Please partner with us to make this the best school that it can be for your child.

Examples of Ways You Can Volunteer
* Classroom Helper
* Curriculum Support (making kits, etc.)
* Nutrition & Kitchen Helper
* Crosswalk Duty AM & PM
* Recess Duty Monitor Helper
* Safety Patrol AM & PM
* Landscaping Grounds & Maintenance
* Trade (plumbing, etc.)
* Professional Services (DJ, etc.)
* Front Office Reception
* ELOB Day Helpers (see list)
* Event Helper (organizing, etc.)
* Fundraising Helper
* Reading Helper

Please not that if you wish to volunteer in a classroom or around students, you MUST complete a Volunteer Application and submit a set of fingerprints.
