EAGLE Time Information
LHS Eagle Time was instituted in the 2022-2023 school year to provide more instructional time in classes for staff and students. It provided an opportunity to provide a dedicated time to devote to:
- Class meetings
- Safety and Security (ALICE)
- Educational Development Plans (EDP)
- Post-Secondary Information
- State Testing information and preparation
- Counselors visits and scheduling
Although this is not an exhaustive list of Eagle Time activities, more instructional time in classrooms has been created through the incorporation of Eagle Time.
1ST SEMESTER REPORT CARDS
As some may have noticed, there is a "new" entry on student report cards that you have not seen before with our Eagle Time. In order to remain compliant with state pupil accounting regulations, students Eagle Time must appear on their report card. In addition, there must be a "grade" associated with the Eagle Time class.
To meet that requirement the following designations have been attached to Eagle Time classes:
- CR(credit) - for students that are up to date with all of their Eagle Time assignments.
- NC(no credit) - for students that have one (1) or more missing Eagle Time assignments.
- Students that have the NC designation on their report card will have the ability to complete all of their missing 1st semester Eagle Time assignments.
- Once a student(s) completes their Eagle Time assignments and are verified, by their Eagle Time teacher, communication will be made with students counselor to have the NC adjusted to a CR on their report card.
These new pupil accounting requirements do not increase the number of credits students need for graduation or impact a students grade point average. However, we will incorporate the same protocols that were utilized during Homecoming. Students that are not in good standing with their Eagle Time class assignments jeopardize their ability to participate in extra-curricular activities such as dances.
Students that receive the NC designation should speak with their Eagle Time teacher on Tuesday, January 21st.
After School Tutoring
If you are interested in tutoring for your student, LHS is offering free after school sessions in our media center. Students MUST sign up by clicking the link located in the top right corner of the Linden High School Webpage. (https://highschool.lindenschools.org/o/lhs) After school tutoring runs from 2:30-3:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Attendance Letters
Beginning with the start of the 2nd Semester on January 21, 2025 we will no longer be mailing student attendance letters home for students that accumulate 4, 7, or 10 absences in a class. The attendance letters will be sent electronically via email through our student information system (Synergy).
