Welcome to the 2024-25 academic year. This semester the EHS student will be faced with the exciting challenge of the Early Release program and its responsibilities.  As you know, this program allows students to work off-campus and receive classroom credits. This is a great opportunity to begin examining careers while learning what it takes to be a successful member of today’s workforce.

Below is a list of documents describing the Early Release program and requirements--for the course. All documents must be uploaded to Google Classroom on-time to earn credit and pass the hours of Early Release for which he/she is enrolled.  In order to pass Early Release and receive credit(s) for graduation---ALL forms below MUST be turned in due to State of Kansas Regulations. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

 EARLY RELEASE PROGRAM COURSE OUTLINE: 

Mandatory Meetings – must attend one at the beginning of each semester - those students who were in the class 1st semester will not be required to meet with Mrs. Salazar

1st Semester:  First day of school

2nd Semester: First day back from winter break

Failure to meet with Mrs. Salazar could be dismissal from Early Release Program.

** All Work Release Documents need to be turned in Early

ALL STUDENTS: Please inform me of ANY changes of employment (fired or changed jobs) WITHIN 24 HOURS of it occurring---failure to do so may result in being taken out of Early Release, enrolled in new classes, or receiving a failing grade for one or all Early Release hours!!
