Each student at Schuyler Middle School will have the opportunity to participate in an Incentive Day the first through third quarters of the school year. Incentive Day is an excused absence from school for students that meet a certain set of rigid criteria. In order to earn Incentive Day a student must maintain an 85% in all classes with no quarter failures, have no office referrals, no Homework Zone or Academic Intervention skips, have no unexcused absences or have excessive absences (5 or more days). The 3rd quarter incentive day does have additional criteria in order to participate; all fines and overdue books will need to be returned or paid, 6th grade students will need to have completed 5 community service hours, 7th grade students will need to have completed 10 community service hours, and 8th grade students will need to have completed 20 community service hours. All of the previous criteria must be met before a predetermined deadline set by administration and administration will make the final determination of students that qualify for Incentive day.
