Back to top
Attendance Policy and Behavior Policy
Hull and Val d’Or Adult Education Centres
When you are sick... stay home. If you are experiencing any of the COVID-19 symptoms you must get tested. (Fever, Cough, Sore throat, Loss of
taste or smell, difficulty breathing, muscle pain, chills). A student or staff member needs to be symptom free for 24hrs before they can return to
the centre. This is directly from Public Health and CNESST.
Living with a vulnerable person
The health of a family member living in the same household is not an exemption criterion recognized by Public Health authorities. There is no
exemption to this rule. The employee or student is required to report to the work or the centre for their studies.
On Line Courses
On line courses have been established at both the Hull Centre and Val d’Or Adult Education Centre due to COVID -19 (2020-2021). The Ministry of
Education in Quebec. MEQ has allowed students to take courses partially on line. However, students must still be physically present in the building
on days they are scheduled. Failure to be physically present in the building on scheduled days will result in an absence, unless the student is
awaiting a COVID-19 test result or has medical documentation that is not COVID-19 related. Students must maintain an 80% attendance rate on
line and in person.
Ministry of Education Regulations (MEQ)
Adult Education within Quebec does not have medical exemptions for students, unlike the youth sector. Full time on line learning will not be
available for Adult Education students, unless the Centre is closed down due to COVID-19

Hull Adult Education Centre
Student Handbook
2020-2021
Class Sizes and Waiting Lists
COVID-19 regulations state that 1.5 meters must be respected within the classroom.
Therefore, only 12 students and 1 teacher can physically be in a classroom at a time.
In order to serve as many students as possible the Hull Adult Education Centre has developed a hybrid model whereby students are in class one day
and on line the next. Each student is in a group. GROUP A or GROUP B. Therefore, there are 24 students per class. If the Val d’Or Centre reaches
numbers that exceed 12 students per class, they must move to the Hybrid model as well.
The Hull Centre is experiencing a high volume of students wishing to attend classes.
Students who cannot maintain an 80% attendance rate (in class and on line) will be removed, as per our attendance policy. Students who are 5
days absent (in class and on line) will be removed as per Ministry of Education guidelines

Back to top
Summary of the 0nline hybrid model:
This year due to social distancing we are limited
in terms of the amount of students that can be in the
school at any given time.
With an in school social distancing policy of 2 metres in
common area and 1.5 metres in classrooms we can only
have a maximum of 12 students in each classroom.
With that limitation in place we have divided the student
body into 2 groups, Group A and B. They will alternate
being in school every second day throughout 3 terms this
year.
The structure of the day does not change, and the group at
home will log directly into the classroom through Microsoft
TEAMS.
It will not be an independent online learning model.
Instead it will be synchronous learning model which means
you will attend the class, interact with teacher and
classmates in real time every second day with your group.
The other group will alternate opposite days in class and at
home.

Section 4-Student Evaluation Criteria Triple A Program and Rubrics
Back to top
TRIPLE AAA GREEN-YELLOW-RED RUBRIC
Triple A Program Summary:
At HAEC we regulate, intervene and reward student behaviour through a program called Triple A. TRIPLE A refers to 3 pillars we expect students to regulate their behaviour,
conduct and success by. Attendance, Achievement and Attitude. These 3 pillars are measured by a colour code of Green, Yellow and Red. Green means you are always meeting
the required conduct for that pillar; Yellow means you are sometimes meeting the standard and Red means you require intervention and rarely meet the standard. Important to
remember that the standards on the following rubrics for each pillar do not reflect perfection, rather, they are normal, average expectations of an adult educations student. For
example, coming to class on time always is not perfection, it is normal!
Please make yourself familiar with the green areas of these rubrics in terms of a guide or path to follow. If you follow the green expectations of each, you will be successful!
