Saturday school :
Saturday school has been developed to serve three purposes:
1) To provide the administration a method of addressing excessive student absenteeism
2) To provide the administration a method of correcting student behaviors which result in numerous detentions
3) To provide students who have multiple missing assignments a mandatory learning session to complete missing class work.
Saturday School Guidelines and Rules:
Saturday School will be from 8:00 to 11:00 AM. The student is required to stay for the full time assigned by the administration. The entrance doors will be locked at 8:05 a.m. Assigned students not in attendance by 8:05 a.m. will be considered to have skipped the Saturday School session.
A student who skips a Saturday School session will receive either an in-school or out-of-school suspension for up to three (3) days and will receive 70% of the actual grade earned during their suspension. The student will also not be allowed to participate in any activities until the terms of the suspension is served. Also, skipping a Saturday School session will automatically require the student to attend the next Saturday School session or sessions, as determined by the administration.
Students are expected to bring their homework or a book to read during a Saturday School session. Students must work productively: they will not be allowed to sleep. If a student fails to bring materials to complete or read, they will be assigned work to occupy their time. Compliance to these requirements is necessary to receive credit for having attended a Saturday School session.
Students assigned to a Saturday School session must attend with no exception unless the absence has been approved by the administration prior to the required Saturday School session. If school is not held on Friday, the following Saturday will not be used to schedule a Saturday School session. Students can be assigned to a Saturday School session only by an administrator or his/her designee.
