This is a very busy time of year! I want to make sure you aren’t missing important opportunities.

Credit Appeal

Do I Need Credit Appeal?

If you have an NG from the Fall semester instead of a grade for a class, you need credit appeal. If you have accrued more than 4 absences this Spring semester in any one class, you may need credit appeal. After June 15, any unresolved NGs will result in the student being reseated for the full semester. This is very likely to keep you from graduating with your classmates.

When Do I Show Up?

May 11, 8:30-12:00

May 13, 9:00-3:00

May 20, 9:00-3:00

What If I Don’t?

If you do not attend credit appeal to resolve NGs, you will be reseated. For example, if you take and pass Algebra 1, but have 7 absences in the fall and 6 absences in the spring, you will have an NG on the report card for both the first semester and second semester. You will have to take Algebra 1 again next year and will not be able to advance to Algebra 2.

Fees

All students in 11th and 12th grade who are taking IB classes are required to pay IB Fees. While the District pays the testing fees, there are registration fees that students are required to pay each year. Seniors also are required to pay senior dues. All fees must be paid before the end of the school year. Students may check with their clerk or the Business Office to determine what they owe.

Laptop Collection

Beginning May 19th our IT department will begin laptop collection. When students turn in laptops they will also be required to turn in the laptop cord/charger and the laptop bag. Fees are assessed for any missing items.
