The weather is getting a bit nicer and the days are getting a little longer.  Spring is in the air now.  We are seeing the number of student absences increase.  A reminder to parents regarding our attendance procedures.  We make automated calls to parents twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon.  Parents receive a call if their student was absent and unexcused during either their first or third classes of the day.  We call the number that is on the student's registration form.  If the student is not excused for their absence, we will assign them after school detention, one hour in length, on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.  Parents can help us by making sure that they call in or send a note to excuse their student for all excused absences.  Parents have 24 hours to excuse an absence.  If we recieve no call or note, we will assign detention.  Again, we believe that if students attend regularly, they will be successful.  Thanks in advance for your assistance in clearing up absences for your student. 

Progress reports will be mailed out this week.  In the progress reports will be a letter outlining some new policy changes regarding academic requirements for AP classes, Valedictorian/Salutatorian designation and the Honors Diploma.  Please take a look at this infomation and feel free to contact me regarding any questions. 

Spring sports are off an running, hope the weather cooperates!
