What happens if my classes are too hard? If the classes are too hard, you can stay after school and ask your teacher for help, study with a friend, or gain access to a free tutor. If the level of a class is too difficult, then you can meet with your guidance counselor to discuss your concerns. This conversation would have to take place within the first 2-3 weeks of classes.

What happens if I am late to school or absent a lot? This year the school was very understanding. Students are expected to be in school from 7:37 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. Frequent tardies will result in social probation. Excessive unexcused absences may have your name forwarded to a Truancy Officer. All of this information is located in the Student Handbook.

The building can get confusing especially for upcoming freshman, and anyone new to the school. However, there are arrows on the floors telling you which was to go. Also, almost every class will have its number labeled outside of the room. If that do not seem to help you then you can always ask a teacher, they are always willing to help. There will always be at least one or two teachers in each hallway. The main building is where almost all the classes are. The first floor is mainly technology, music, art, cafeteria, as well as gym. The second floor is the administration offices. The third floor is mainly for extracurriculars like mathematics. On the fourth floor it is mostly all the science labs, social studies, and business. Now in the Briggs building there are two main floors, the first one is inaccessible. The second floor is language arts, and the third floor has different mixed classes such as English, Science, ECT.
What if I am late because I was talking to a teacher? This is a question many students wonder about. If you are late to a class because you are talking to a teacher, make sure that you get a pass. You need a pass any time you are outside of your classroom. It's a safety measure.
Many students ask if they will make it in time from class to class frequently. Passing time basically means the time after a class ends. Students have six minutes to get from one class to another. The reason we have so much time between classes is that there are two buildings, and some students have to get from the top floor of one building to the top of the other. You do not have to worry about being late as long as you walk to your class without stopping. There will be a late bell that signals you are officially late to class. In most cases, teachers will give you a teacher detention if you are late to class.
