Parents of middle school and high school students, here are some end of the year logistics answers that some of you have been asking about:
The sports physicals are scheduled for tomorrow for all student athletes planning to participate in athletics for the 2021/2022 school year.
Tomorrow and Friday will also be the days for exempt students, defined as having a 70% average or greater and 5 or less absences, to be given the freedom to not attend school. Non-exempt students or those that have less than a 70% average and/or more than 5 absences will be working on Final Projects for the next two days.
Good question here: How do the exempt students get their sports physicals taken care of? The answer is that we will be giving them physicals beginning at 8:30 tomorrow. If the student is exempt, we will be getting them in and out as quickly as possible and squeezing in the non-exempt students whenever possible. Best advice would be to have your child with completed and signed paperwork in hand, at the health clinic here on campus at 8:30 and we will get them in and out and they can enjoy the rest of their exempt day and get to enjoying their summer.
Non-exempt students are required to complete the Final Project. Failure to complete the project will result in a zero on the gradebook that could potentially hurt their overall grade significantly.
A student that is exempt in most classes but is NOT in a couple of classes needs to abide by the following policy: They need to be on time at a minimum to the first class for which they are not exempt and remain on campus until their last non-exempt project hour is completed. In other words, they can get here late if they are exempt in classes, and they can leave early when their projects are done, but we do NOT want students coming and going throughout the day. If the student needs to ride the bus in and remain all day despite being exempt for most classes, that student WILL work on the project while on campus even if exempt. There will be NO students on campus NOT working on the project. If you’re here, you’re working.
The academic awards assemblies are tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 for Middle School and at 6:00 tomorrow evening for High School. Letters and messages have been sent home for most students that we have been made aware of that are receiving an award. The event will also be livestreamed on Facebook for those unable to get away from work or any other obligation for the middle school academic awards assembly.
Thank you for working with us throughout this strange and confusing school year!!
