Morning Announcements

 

The following procedures will be used to manage schedule changes and keep students in classes as much as possible.

 

ONLY STUDENTS THAT DO NOT HAVE COMPLETE SCHEDULES OR ARE DOUBLE BOOKED will be allowed to make appointments with their guidance counselors during the first two days of school. Staff will be stationed outside the guidance office and will schedule appointments at 15 minute intervals for students to see their counselor. Students will be given a pass with the time that they should come to meet with their counselor. Students will not be allowed to hang around guidance.

 

Aside from incomplete schedules and double booked schedules, guidance counselors feel it is important that Freshmen be allowed to make an appointment to meet with their counselor if they feel it necessary.

 

Students looking to add or drop classes will be allowed to do that on Friday and through next week by appointment only. Teacher signatures will not be required at this time. Beginning September 13 add drop slips must be signed by the classroom teacher of the dropped class as well as the added class. Prior to September 13 we are not going to require that students get a teacher signature so as to expedite the process of all the changes.

 

Students (Grades 10-12) will not be allowed to make level changes until they have had what has been considered to be an adequate time to appreciate what the expectations are for the class. Counselors will begin to see upper classmen beginning the week of September 20 to consider level changes. Due to the high enrollment numbers, movement is very limited. We are hoping to curb the level drops. Teacher recommendations that were put into PowerSchool were the levels that were assigned except if there was a parent reconsideration form completed. We need to encourage our students to challenge themselves and to reach beyond their perceived potential.

 

We will begin tomorrow morning, Thursday, September 1 with a 15 minute homeroom period.At that time the Junior class will report to the auditorium and all other grades will go to their homerooms.

 

Any freshman interested in playing  should see Coach Dubzinski in the guidance office.
