Final Fridays:
The final Friday (or Thursday if Friday is a holiday) will be designated as final Friday for Grades 10-12 students. Students in these grades will have an opportunity to earn the afternoon off on this day. To qualify, students must meet the following criteria:
1. Ninety percent (total)attendance for that month (roughly 15 (8 for non-semestered) attended classes per course).
2. No missing assignments, tests, quizzes or other schoolwork.
3. A passing grade in each course.
4. No discipline issues for that month.
Goals of the program:
The goals of this program are as follows:
1. Provide intervention time for students that have poor attendance or are behind in their school work.
2. Provide an incentive and reward for students.
FAQ's:
1. What if I meet the criteria but I am a bus student or I need to stay at school for final Friday anyway?
- You may stay at the school and work on special project credits or reading for enjoyment.
2. What if I do not meet the criteria for Final Friday?
- You will be at school. A teacher will be assigned to you, and you will have an opportunity to complete school work or get extra help.
3. When do you decide who is eligible?
- The day before Final Friday. All decisions are final at that time.
4. What if I just skip Final Friday anyway.
- That would mean that you are skipping school. You will have to make up the time after school the following week or other consequences will apply.
