  2. St. Paul Preparatory School Program Rules • The following rules highlight some of the policies included in the "Parent Student Agreement" each student and natural parent have signed as part of the student’s application.

  3. Attendance • School attendance is required. Students are expected to be on time for school every day. If your student is sick or tardy, please call the SPP office at 651-288-4606 by 10am to report their absence or tardy and provide the reason. • If the student is not sick but they don’t go to school, feel free to call and let the front desk know they should be marked as unexcused. • Students will have to serve detention and perhaps attend Saturday School if they are late to class a lot. • You will be notified by an emailed letter if your student need to attend Saturday School.

  4. Academics • Students must maintain at least a "C" level grade in every class, with no failing grades (D’s or F’s). Failing grades will result in academic probation, and possible termination of program. In this case, SPP sends a letter to the host family and foreign partner who will notify the natural parents. • Students must enroll in an English, Math, American History or Government, and a social or natural science course during the length of their program.

  9. Travel • Students must receive written and signed permission from the SPP office, prior to participating in any overnight travel: • outside of the host family’s community • without the host family • and any international travel during the program • if students travel outside of the US during the program, they must have their I-20 signed in order to return to the US.

However, your Coordinator may conduct the monthly contact meeting in your home or at school.

  12. Problems • In case your student does break a program rule, please contact to the student’s Coordinator, and/or the St. Paul Preparatory School Host Family Office. We cannot help if we are not aware of the problem!
