2016-2017 Disclosure

Homeroom: All students are assigned to a grade specific Homeroom class. Homeroom is every Monday after 1^st or 5^th period. The objectives of Homeroom are:

1. Ensure that students meet three times each grading period with an adult advocate to assess each student’s grades, attendance, and credits. At Copper Hills High, graduation is NOT optional.

2. Provide all students with an adult advocate at Copper Hills.

3. Provide all students with relevant and timely information on testing, scholarships, financial aid, registration, academics, earning emphasis recognition, Pathways, upcoming events, etc.

Grizzly Opts: Grizzly Opts is an academic support period designed to help students improve and succeed in their academic courses. Beginning the 3^rd week of 1st semester and the 2^nd week of 2^nd semester, Grizzly Opts will be held every TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and THURSDAY after 1^st and 5^th periods. During this period, all students with an F in any class will be required to attend the class they have an F in during Grizzly Opts. Students who do not have an F will be allowed independent study time OR they can attend one of their classes to receive additional help, make up a test or quiz, or study. The Media Center, computer labs, cafeteria, the gym, and some elective classrooms will be available for those not required to attend Grizzly Opts.

1. On Monday, August 29^th, students will receive a Grizzly Opts card in Homeroom. This card will show students their current grades and will inform them whether or not they are required to attend Grizzly Opts. Attendance is mandatory and will be taken through Skyward. Students must continue to attend until all grades are passing.

2. Grades and Grizzly Opts attendance will be re-evaluated every week in Homeroom and new cards will be issued. It is the responsibility of students to keep their Grizzly Opts cards with them at all times.

3. Students are required to attend the class in which they need the most help and come prepared with work or materials necessary to improve academic grade. Cell phones, electronics, food and drink are not allowed. There will be no Hall pass use during Grizzly Opts.

4. All students must be in a classroom, computer lab, Media Center, cafeteria, or the gym when the bell rings. Positive attendance will be taken through Skyward as attendance is required. During Grizzly Opts, CHHS is a closed campus. Students will not be allowed to leave school without checking out.

Credit will be given to students who attend Grizzly Opts or a study area. Homeroom teachers will award .25 elective credit each semester based on students attending Homeroom and Grizzly Opts.

We are excited to offer the opportunity for students to get additional time and support during the school day. It is our goal that all students be successful and achieve at a high level. Students are encouraged to utilize Grizzly Opts time to become the best students they can be!
