GRADUATION PROJECT UPDATE
All freshmen, sophomores, and juniors have been assigned an Everfi project – students, please check your email for instructions. Stay current with your Graduation Project by checking your status in Naviance.
Seniors – notices were provided to all seniors who still owe one or more elements of the Graduation Project. A reminder that the grade for the Graduation Project will appear on the second marking period report card – it will reflect a P or a F (pass or fail), as the Graduation Project is worth 0.25 credit. Students who receive an F (failure) will still be able to meet the Graduation Project requirements, but as it is a graduation requirement, all elements must be completed prior to graduation.
