When a student arranges to have items delivered to the school office from home, it is the student's responsibility to retrieve the material. Office personnel will not interrupt class to inform students of these deliveries. EARLY DISMISSAL REQUESTS Students who must be excused earlier than our normal dismissal time must obtain a permit from our office by presenting a written request signed by their parent/ guardian on the morning of the proposed dismissal. We strongly discourage requests to release students from school so they may attend events in which younger siblings are involved. Parents/guardians are required to enter our school's office and sign a form before the student may be released for an early dismissal. CLASS EXCUSAL FOR LAVATORY PURPOSES Students must ask permission from their teachers and be signed out in order that they may be excused from class. While excused, students must carry their agenda books signed by the teacher. FIRE DRILLS Fire drill regulations and directions are posted near the door of each classroom. The fire drill signal is much different from other bells or buzzers. When the signal sounds, students must leave everything and line up quickly and quietly, following the leaders out the proper exits in a single file to a distance of at least 50 feet from the building. Remember, the key to an efficient fire drill - Quickly and Quietly. Talking or horseplay during fire drills will not be tolerated. HOMEWORK Homework is a valuable tool which we encourage. Homework assignments teach good study habits, improve skills, contribute to development of self-discipline, and increase responsibility. Homework serves as preparation for classroom instruction and enhances the knowledge learned therein. GRADING 93% - 100% A 85% - 92% B 73% - 84% C 63% - 72% D 0 - 62% F A student must attain a 3.0, or better, quality average to qualify for the honor roll. High honor ranges from 3.51 to 3.99. Highest honor is 4.0. No student with an unsatisfactory "U" and/or below a grade is eligible for the honor roll. No “C”
