Attendance Tip of the Day #2-
Coming to class is the #1 most important thing you can do to improve your grades and chances of success after high school. Three (3) tardies are equal to one absence. A tardy is less than 20 minutes late to class. When you have more than 9 absences for a semester course and 6 absences for a quarter class it can result in losing credit for the class. To give an example, you may arrive at class 2 minutes late 27 times in a semester. Those two minutes now mean you have reached the 9 absence limit.
Seniors who are enrolled in honors English classes in second semester must complete the honors project if they apply to college with honors English on their transcript. Please check your schedule to make sure you are enrolled in CP if you wish to be enrolled in CP or honors if you wish to complete the AP portfolio in English. You may not drop the honors designation after you apply to college with it on your transcript. Any changes should be made now with your guidance counselor before applications are sent out! Thank you! : )
