Changes For 2003-3004

We will have an 8 period day.
The first 7 periods will be the same format as last year.
The 8th period will be mandatory tutoring for anyone who is failing any subject.
All students who are passing everything will be dismissed at 2:40, when 8th hour starts.
Students who do not have a way home will wait in the library for the regular dismissal at 3:20.
Athletic practices will begin at the end of 7th period.
The list of students who are required to stay for tutoring will be made each time interims are sent and each time report cards are sent. A student can be added to the list at any time by teacher referral.
When school starts in the fall, tutoring assignments will be made based on the 4th quarter grades from the previous year.
Our goal is to encourage more students to make passing grades and to reward them for doing so.

Graduation requirements in English will be reduced from 4 to 3 years.
The fourth year of English is highly recommended by us and required by most colleges and vocational schools. All seniors should consider a 4th year of English

The Consumer Ed. requirement can be met in one of three ways--Consumer Ed. (1 semester), Adult Living (1 semester) or Consumer Math (1 year).

Band and Choir will receive one academic credit per year and the grade will be figured into the GPA. They will require participation and tests.

In order to be considered a senior, a student must have earned a minimum of 10 1/2 academic credits.
