Attendance
Tardy Passes and out of room pass reminders for the spring semester:
As a reminder, students who arrive tardy to class are issued a tardy slip and is logged in FOCUS as a “T”. We are issuing consequences according to our ladder of discipline. Once a student reaches 5 tardy to class infractions the student is issued a warning and reminder with the dean. 10 or more is work detail during lunch. 15 or more after the work detail is ISS and it escalates from there. One a student reaches 20 or more class tardies, they will have to serve after school detention on Wednesday afternoon. These infractions reset each quarter. You may check FOCUS for your child’s status on any given day as the information is immediate.
CTE Certification:
We are continuing our certification exam administration all throughout January. Notification for specific exams will be communicated under a separate cover. Please ask your child to show them the results of their practice exams. They should have a minimum passing score of 80%. Students may continue to re-take their practice exams in order to achieve this score.
