SCHURR Expectation of the Month: Hardworking

Bell to Bell Schedule/Learning: We will continue to ensure that students remain in class from the moment the bell rings at the beginning of class to the end of class when the bell rings.

Canvas Parent Set-Up Guide: Please see the link below for how to set up a Canvas Parent Account. This account will support parents in their efforts to monitor grades and attendance.

Credit Recovery: Schurr is hosting Credit Recovery for students who have been identified by their counselors who need to recover credits in order to graduate on time.

Nurse Calls: if you call for the nurse, please share location and a general reason for the purpose of the visit. This information enables our health staff to know what to take to the location.

Restroom Passes: Thank you for continuing to use hall passes when students leave class. Please continue to send one student at a time with each hall pass. Please do not send students together to the restrooms. Thank you for your collaborative support.

Schurr School Hours: 7:20 - 4:00. Schurr is a welcoming place for our students and staff. Our hours of operation with supervision are from 7:20 - 4:00. Any students on campus after 4:00 must be part of a school sponsored club or team with staff supervision. Thank you for your support.

Tardy Sweeps: We are going to start tardy sweeps again. We will start by scheduling tardy sweeps as a reminder to students to get to class on time. Very soon, we will start random tardy sweeps. Students caught in a tardy sweep will be assigned Saturday School. Our first tardy sweep is Thursday, November 5, at the beginning of 5th Period.
