86 School Days Left
This is a summary of today's senior meeting. For full details, review the senior meeting presentation.
Students must earn 24 total credits and pass all required courses in order to graduate. Seniors who do not meet graduation requirements will not be able to participate in the graduation ceremony.
Attendance: Students have 5 unexcused absences per class before they start accruing seat time.
Keep in mind that for American Government and Economics that number is 3 due to those classes being .5 credits.
Testing dates that may affect seniors.
March 3: ACT—required registration in the fall.
March 11: SAT—required registration in the fall.
April 14-15: WIN Test—Work ready or soft skills credentials.
April 24: ASVAB—for students interested in joining the military.
All senior debts must be cleared. Senior dues and fees must be paid in order to purchase prom tickets and participate in certain senior activities. Prom ticket prices increase as the year progresses, so early payment is strongly encouraged.
We understand that senior year can be especially challenging financially, particularly as multiple deadlines and expenses tend to overlap. Our goal is to support students in crossing the finish line successfully, and we are happy to work with families to explore available options or assistance when needed.
