Science MCAS Extra Help with Ms. O'Connell will be running on Thursdays from 2:15pm - 3:15pm beginning on Thursday! Students that will need to take the Biology Retake Test in February will receive individual invitations. Please be on the lookout for these invites from Ms. O'Connell, and make sure to encourage your students to take advantage of these sessions to get some extra help before the test!

If you received a grade reduction in any class due to attendance NOW is the time to schedule your makeup time with Mr. Carney! Remember, this time must be completed before the end of Quarter 2.

The administrative detention sessions will be held every Wednesday from 2pm-3:30pm starting November 13th through the end of Quarter 2. These sessions are for point and/or credit recovery. Each session applies to one class for one day missed. It is expected that you will serve for the entire time or it will not count, and be prepared to have work to complete during this time. Mr. Carney will be responsible for running these sessions.

FAQ: If I serve one administrative detention session will I get back all the points for all the classes?

Answer: Depends on the situation. If you only have one class deducted and you only have 5 unexcused absences from that class, then yes. Most times, this is not the case and you will need to serve multiple sessions to gain the points back for all the classes.

Example: You have 6 unexcused absences from math and 5 unexcused absences from ELA. You will need to attend 3 sessions to recover the lost points for both classes (2 for math to bring you below 5, and 1 for ELA to bring you below 5).

Another example: You have 11 unexcused absences from Science. You will need to attend 2 sessions to bring you below 10 at which point the 10 point deduction will be enforced.

Please join the Guidance Department on December 11th at 6-7:30PM in the Cafeteria for a free seminar regarding Financial Aid Application.

Come join us for some fun! Our PBIS team is hosting a pancake breakfast for just $5 on Saturday, December 14th from 9:00am - 11am. We will have door prizes, ornament decorating, and photos with Santa and the Grinch all included in the price!

Loss of Points/Credit due to absences -

5-9 unexcused absences from a class will lose 10 points from their grade in that class for that quarter.

Grade/Credit Recovery Process:

Process 1 - Students can recover those lost points in the following quarter, if and only if, they have no more than 2 unexcused absences from that class during that quarter.

Process 2 (if last quarter of the course) - Students can work to recover lost points as soon as they reach their 5th unexcused absence by attending a 1.5 hour administrative detention session (one missed class per session). Students may attend multiple sessions to recover for multiple courses if needed. Students opting for these administrative detention sessions (ADPs) must designate which course they are attending for.

10 or more unexcused absences from a class will result in an automatic attendance failure for the quarter and receive a grade of a 40 (District Minimum Grade).

Grade/Credit Recovery Process:

Students may earn credit back by attending a 1.5 hour administrative detention session (one missed class per session). Students may attend multiple sessions to recover for multiple courses if needed. Students opting for these administrative detention sessions (ADPs) must designate which course they are attending for. They must attend enough ADP sessions to bring absences below 10 at which point the 10 point deduction will be enforced as noted above.

A public school district may excuse up to 7-day sessions or 14-half day sessions in any period of six months.

Based on this law, students may be approved for up to 7 excused absences in a 6 month period. Excused absences are defined as follows: Illness with medical documentation, A medical appointment that must be made during the school day, Observing a recognized religious holiday when the observance is during school, A family emergency, A planned absence for a personal or educational purpose that has been approved by the school, Educational disruption caused by a student's homelessness, unplanned hospitalization, or placement in foster care or a youth development center, Dismissal by the school nurse for illness.

**Note: Vacations will not be considered excused and should be avoided during days school is in session.
