Sport Season Calendar
Off-Roll
Since we are a trimester school and students earn far more credits than needed, even Freshmen can take off-roll. First period off-roll can be used for students who need to sleep later in the morning. Fifth period off-roll can be used for students who need to leave school earlier for family, work or athletic obligations. Selecting off-roll during your sport season is the only way to assure that no class will be scheduled 5th period during a sports season (when possible). Maximum of one off-roll per trimester.
The Off-roll Permission form is now part of the Parents Continuing Online Registration process and Enrollment.
If your parent doesn’t complete the off-roll permission, you will be given a class instead of the requested off-roll.
PVC Poway Virtual Classes
PVC courses do NOT have live instruction on zoom each day but they do have required weekly assignments that must be completed on time.
Keys to success in this format:
- You are able to manage your time well, are responsible and organized.
- You are self-motivated and can focus well on your own, without teacher reminders.
- You advocate for yourself when you meet unexpected problems or challenges.
