It is believed that certain privileges should be granted to members of the senior class.  As such, the following conditions will be granted during senior year at Seymour High School provided the following academic, behavioral, and attendance standards have been maintained. 

• Seniors have earned a grade of 65 or above in five (5) classes the previous quarter. 

• They do not have any unserved disciplinary consequences. 

• They have not been classified as chronically absent (absent from school more than 18 days for the year ).  

Senior Privilege is available to all seniors provided they maintain the academic, behavioral, and attendance standards of Seymour High School.  Once Senior Privileges have been earned, they can be lost should the students fall below the standards outlined above. 

A. Delayed Arrival 

If a senior has a scheduled study hall during the first period or periods of the day, the student may obtain a Senior Privilege permission slip from the Main Office.  Once the permission slip is returned to the high school, that student is exempted from attending their morning study hall periods.  Students will be required to enter the building through the front entrance and remain in the foyer of the school until the bell rings.  It is the student’s responsibility to know when homerooms, advisory, and delayed openings are scheduled or occur and to be on time for their class. It is also the student’s responsibility to know which scheduled day we are on, (A-D). No schedule changes will be made to accommodate a delayed arrival.  A student will be considered absent from school if they attend less than half of the school day.

B. Early Dismissal

If a senior has a scheduled study hall during the last period or periods of the day, the student may obtain a permission slip from the Main Office.  Once the permission slip is returned to the high school, the student is exempt from attending their afternoon study hall periods.  Students are required to exit the building immediately after the end of their scheduled class.  Students found to be loitering in the building will lose their early dismissal privilege. No schedule changes will be made to accommodate an early dismissal.  A student will be considered absent from school if they attend less than half of the school day.
