All absences and tardies must be cleared by 11:00 am each Wednesday. Students who do not meet the incentive criteria will be informed by their advisory teacher on Wednesday during advisory. As stated above, if a student takes the extra lunch time but did not earn it, they will serve a 60-minute detention.
Any student who doesn’t meet the criteria for the week must report to advisory on Thursday from 11:15 to 11:35. If your child does not earn the incentive lunch time, please do not call and excuse them so they can skip advisory. They must meet the criteria to receive the extra 20 minutes.
