MESSAGE TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS OF SENIORS
As we near the end of our High School career and prepare for our future, there are many
important announcements, handouts, and dates to remember. Seniors, it is imperative that you pay
close attention to announcements so you are current with the pertinent information that directly
affects you and your family. Parents and guardians, please check with your student periodically to
learn of new information. Question them and keep after them to provide you with needed
information. We all want the award assemblies, senior banquet, and graduation to run smoothly so
we can all enjoy, appreciate, and celebrate your High School accomplishments but we cannot do it
without you. If you or your student has any questions regarding senior information, please see Ms.
Tompkins in the Main Office or call her at 739-5601, ext. 1601.
ENGLISH DEPT STANDARD FOR UNPREPARED FINAL EXAM SPEAKERS
To arrive to class unprepared for a scheduled final exam speech is to willingly accept a grade
of zero for the speaking assessment. NO MAKEUPS are to be granted to unprepared speakers.
Should a student elect to be truant from class on the day that he/she is scheduled to present the final
exam speech, teachers are asked to follow the Faculty Handbook which states: "a grade of zero will
be recorded for missed quiz or test." The only accepted excuse is a legal excuse for one's absence on
file in the attendance office that can be confirmed.
