On & Off Track System
Three requirements to be "On-Track"
1. Scholar has a 2.5 GPA or above
2. Scholar has three or less office discipline referrals
3. Scholar has only missed five or less days of school per trimester.
How will your scholar know if they are "On-Track"?
Scholar will receive a letter at least every three weeks to let them know if they are on or off track. There will be opportunities to get back on track, if scholar is off-track.
The best part of being On-Track
At the end of every trimester there will be a celebration for scholars who are on track at the end of the trimester. These celebrations usually consist of a field trip at no cost to the guardian of the scholar. Most importantly it helps scholars be prepared for high school.
