Hello Spartans!

Final Exam Attendance Policy Updates and Reminders
First Semester Final Exams will be given on December 20th, 21st, and 22nd. Students are expected to be in attendance on these days to take their final exams. Students may NOT be Parent Excused (PX) on final exam days. Any student who is absent during final exams will be considered Unexcused (UA) and will receive a zero on their final assessment (exams/projects/papers/etc.). Students are expected to be present and in school the entire day during final exams. A student who is required to give a presentation prior to a final exam day for a final grade must be in attendance for the scheduled final exam day for that class in order to receive credit. This rule is necessary so that students who are scheduled to give their presentations last have the same experience presenting to an audience and receiving their feedback as the first students to present.
Students will be reviewing for final exams TWO class days before exams begin. This will take place Friday, December 16th and Monday, December 19th. As always, Homestead's cell phone policy will be strictly enforced during final exams. Students who get their cell phones taken away on the last day of exams will NOT be able to retrieve them until after winter break! Students should leave their phones in their cars or keep them turned off and buried in the bottom of their bookbags so that they are not be tempted to have it out during the school day. Parents who need to be in contact with their students should call 431-2200. Students can also use a school office phone should they need to make a call home during the school day.

Parking & Drop off/Pickup Reminders
Families are reminded that students must be dropped off and picked up at Door 1 using the Spartan Turnaround. The Attendance Office is located just inside Door 1, so this is where students need to enter before, during, and after school.
In the mornings, we have found that the Spartan Turnaround (see map to the left) works quite well, and parents get through in less than 5 minutes (not including time on Homestead Road).
In the afternoons, parents should go through this same Turnaround for student pick-up. Unfortunately, some of our neighboring businesses are seeing an uptick in afternoon parking (during after school pick-up). We kindly ask that you do not park in the lots of our neighboring businesses and schools. Whether it be all day or for just 30 minutes to pick up your student from school, there should be no parking at the Aboite Township Fire Station, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School and Church, or at Summit Middle School.
Not only does this after-school parking impede our neighbors from utilizing their own lots for their patrons, it causes some unsafe conditions when students cross the streets at non-crosswalk locations.
So, please, use the Homestead Turnaround (entering off of Homestead Road) to drop off and pick up your student. Thank you.
