Homecoming Ticket Update
Thank you to everyone who has reached out about Homecoming Tickets. There will be additional tickets available TOMORROW ONLY during both lunches. Tickets will be sold for $15.
These tickets will be sold in person in the foyer and this is the last opportunity to get them. We are going to move the dance to the gym in order to have more room for more students. This allows us to increase our capacity; however, we still have a limited number of tickets. There will be an equal amount of tickets at each lunch. Students will have to wear socks or tennis shoes only on the gym floor. The dance is Friday from 7 PM to 10 PM.
Attendance--What is the Difference Between Excused and Unexcused?
Excused absences: personal illness, family funerals, medical appointments, court appointments with a subpoena, church/religious trips with documentation, and family emergencies with explanation.
Unexcused absences: family trips, car trouble/flat tire, missing the bus/ride, oversleeping,, caring for a sibling, busy traffic, court appointments for traffic violations, notes without all pertinent information, and of course, a confirmed truancy.
The accrual of multiple unexcused absences will result in a parent conference, a warning notice, and possibly, legal action. In addition, juniors and seniors will not qualify for off campus lunch if they have any unexcused absences.
Attendance Recovery Will Be Tuesday & Wednesday This Week!
