THE HATTER UPDATE (Jan. 25, 2022)
THE COMMUNICATION FORUM FOR HIGH SCHOOL FAMILIES
FINAL EXAMS
Wednesday: English @ 7:40 am and Math @ 10:00 am
Thursday: Science @ 7:40 am and Make-up Exams @ 10:00 am
On those two days (1/26 & 1/27) students will only attend if they have an exam. You can see the final exam transportation information below. On the 26th and 27th exam days, ECAT is optional, as a result, there will be no district transportation.
RECORD'S DAY
There is no school for students on Friday, January 28th. This is Record's Day for teachers, which is an opportunity to finalize grades from the first semester as they prepare for the start of a new semester, which begins on Monday, January 31st.
ATTENDANCE - MUST READ
Being on time for school is critical for student success. Students who are on time have time to mentally get settled and prepared for their day and get the benefit of all the content of their first-period class. The first period BEGINS at 7:30 am. This means that students must be in the classroom at that time. The bell rings at 7:25 and 7:28, giving them 5-minutes, and a warning bell at 2-minutes to get to first-period class. Arriving at the building at 7:30 am means a student is tardy.
Beginning the second semester, students arriving late to school will immediately meet with one of the administrative assistants or our Dean of Students who will be monitoring student arrival. Students who have 3 unexcused tardies to school will be issued a final warning and email communication will be sent home. The 4th unexcused tardy and beyond will result in after-school detention for EACH tardy accumulated. Thank you for your help with this as we work to provide a smooth start to our day for teachers and students.
COURSE SELECTION PERIOD
Grades 9-11 Course Selection for 2022-2023 School Year
Course selection is a critical step in the academic planning process. Hatboro-Horsham HS believes that accepting responsibility for decisions is an integral part of the educational and learning process. Course selection should be completed thoughtfully and carefully after realistic self-evaluation and considerable dialogue with teachers, counselors, and parents/guardians. We hope that in streamlining this guide, your child will be able to make informed course selection decisions based on career paths and interests.
Families can find the course selection guide here - https://www.hatboro-horsham.org/Page/768
COURSE SELECTION TIMELINE
I. Students will complete course selection between February 7 – February 16. Students will utilize the ClassChoice program to complete their selections. An email will be sent to students with more information.
II. Each student will have an individual meeting with their counselor regarding their course selections. Information for counselor meetings will be emailed to students in February. If the selections have been carefully made, changes should not be necessary, except in unusual situations. If a student wishes to request a change, they must meet with the school counselor before the deadline for changes to course selections - that date is March 25, 2022. Students should make selections in the Feb 7-16 window.
Student choices will be made available for families to view through PowerSchool. Families will receive an email alert) in March that provides access. We cannot stress enough the importance of carefully considering and selecting courses during this time.
